Mac Mail - Hyperlinks for attachments?

Greetings follow Apples,
I'm trying to link some pics and pdf's but no luck. when asked to add link it deletes the attachment. Checked it on the receiving end too no luck.. It inserts fine w/ text. Your wisdom will be greatly appreciated! TANKS!

Hi Tmarshall,
I'm not sure I really get your problem: you want to add a pdf file as an attachment, plus a hyperlink (to a site with your pictures) in your message but when you insert the hyperlink, the attachment gets deleted?

  • TS3276 Hotmail on Mac Mail not sending attachments

    I have my hotmail account set up with Mac Mail. I can send & receive emails without any problems, however as soon as I attach anything (small or large) it will not send. The same attachments will send fine if I log onto Hotmail through Safari/chrome. This has only been happening in the last week or so.
    What do I need to do?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mac Mail not receiving attachments properly

    I have been using Mac Mail 4.4 w/ IMAP for the past year. All was working fine until yesterday. Seems that any attachment sent to me .jpg .pdf etc come in all scrambled as letters and numbers. This has happened from four different people. I can view my email via webmail, attachments are fine there. Has anything changed in the last few days to mail? Help would greatly be appreciated as Apple as said they don't support attachments...

    This has been happening on my iPad as well please fix it apple

  • Why is mac mail embedding my attachments

  • Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2013 - Not getting pop-up or mail tips for attachments exceeding max size

    Our environment is Exchange Server 2013 CU3 and Outlook 2013 in cached mode. We have a transport rule that sets the max attachment size to 20 mb.
    If someone sends an attachment larger than 20 mb they receive an NDR letting them know the message wasn't delivered because it exceeded the max attachment size. We would like for the user to be prevented from sending the message at all or to at least
    get a mail tip before they try to send the message. The Outlook pop-up message that says "The file you're attaching is bigger than the server allows. Try putting the file in a shared location ..." isn't being generated for us. Not sure if that's
    because we're running Exchange or not. If that pop-up isn't going to work it would be nice if the user could at least get a mail-tip warning them that the attachment exceeds the limit. But it doesn't look likes there's a mail-tip for attachment size, only
    for message size. And, I've found that the message size mail-tip only works if the limit is set on the user. It doesn't seem to work if the limit is set via a transport rule.
    Has anyone else gotten Outlook to present the pop-up or a mail-tip when exceeding attachment size? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks but I performed all of those trouble shooting prior to posting to the forum. But, I have found the answer!
    After referring to this article;
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345(v=exchg.150).aspx
    I removed the 10mb default limits from the organization config and chose to set the attachment and message size limits in our environment via transport
    rules instead. That is the only way you can actually set an attachment size limit.
    I had read this article several times searching for an answer;
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813269#appliesto
    The key is here;
    "If you are using an Exchange Server account, the 20-MB attachment
    limit for Internet email accounts is not used by Outlook 2013. Instead, Outlook uses the limit that is configured on your Exchange server. To modify the setting that is used to control the size of a message that is sent through an
    Exchange Server account, follow these steps."
    The steps that follow are for Exchange 2010 but they show setting organization limits not server limits. And note that it
    says the size of a message, not the size of an attachment. Since mail-tips for message size are not displayed when the limit is set via the transport rules I thought it
    was possible that the same inconsistency might apply to the attachment pop-up warning. I set the organization limits and voila! The pop-up now displays when an attachment that exceeds the message size limit is added to a message.
    This is exactly what I wanted. Now users won't fill up their sent items trying to send large attachments that just bounce anyway.
    It would be wonderful if Microsoft would provide information about what features of Outlook are affected when you apply message size limits at the
    various levels.

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I don't have .mac, nor would I, but several people have had problems recently, actually on and off for years, so it may pass, sometimes it's just a regeon or two having problems.
    Also, are youaware they are switcing over to .me and cancelling .mac? That eems to be causing some problems now and then also.

  • Mac Mail: Check for new messages doesn't work

    Hi,
    In Mac Mail the setting at  "Preferences -> Check For New Messages" I have set for manual and yet Mail still fetches emails when I haven't asked it too. I previously had this setting set to check for messages every hour but it ignored that setting too so I set it to manual but this setting is ignored. Ideally I'd like to check mail every four hours but there isn't a setting for that.
    I'm running Lion and have IMAP email accounts.
    Any idea how I can get Mac Mail not to ignore my Check For New Messages setting?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link. Well I never would have found that out without some help. I saw the IDLE in the IMAP settings I didn't know it was a kind of PUSH / FETCH thing. Anyway I've got it on manual now and only seems to get emails when I send one or press the button. I've only changed it a little while ago so I hope this is actually fixed.
    Thanks again it was driving me nuts!

  • Mac Mail and Photo attachments

    I recently changed my business E-mail client to Mac Mail 3.8 from Eudora. I was very surprised that Mac Mail could not attach a graphic file to an E-mail without actually embedding the file into the E-mail. Mac to Mac my clients could access the file as an attachment, but Mac to PC they could not. I was very surprised to find that the only solution Apple support showed was to compress the graphic file as a zip archive file. This solution is unacceptable as Google Mail disallowed zip files as attachments, and more than a handful of my clients use G-Mail. I found a third party plug-in solution offered by Loki software called Mail Attachments Iconizer http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer which actually works to change the way Mac Mail handles graphic file attachments, so that PC users can access the attached file. I was amazed that there was no mention of this solution on the apple support thread... Now there is!

    Welcome to Apple Community forums.
    Have you tried using "Send Windows friendly attachments" at the bottom of the attach dialog?

  • How do I prevent Mac Mail from dropping attachments?

    My OS X 10.7.3 Mail is dropping attachments. Any idea how to fix this? Every time I need to send an email with an attachment, I have to use webmail, and this is getting old fast. Thanks.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

  • Best iPad mail app for attachments

    I'll be picking up the new iPad Air in the next few days and am wondering what email app I should use for attachements. My work uses a Gmail hosted email service, and I'm a Gmail user myself, so ideally it would have multi-account support.
    In my work I use the usual mix of .doc, .xls and .pdf documents. From what I understand the default Mail app is not suitable for (multiple) attachments. I'm a big Dropbox user if that makes a difference.
    I hear good things abou the Mailbox app (by Dropbox) and the Gmail app by Google themselves.
    Any suggestions?

    I love the recently launched iPad app Cannonball. https://itunes.apple.com/app/cannonball-email/id701582906
    You can search for just attachments as well as sort email into various cataegories as you would with snail mail. So subscriptions, financial, travel etc all get sorted and allow you to peruse through as you need them.
    It got great reviews as well - http://mashable.com/2013/10/22/cannonball-app/

  • Mac Mail - Cannot Remove Attachments

    I have an intermittent problem in that I often cannot remove attachments from mail messages.  It is very inconsistent, and I cannot find a pattern.
    Oftentimes, when I send an email with a large attachment, I want to keep the email text, but don't need/want the attachment (as I have it on my hard drive anyhow).  But when I select the message, Remove Attachments on the Messages menu is greyed out.  Again, it is intermittent as I sometimes can delete the attachments.
    I am using Maverics and the latest software updates.  My mail server is Exchange.
    Any ideas how to solve?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem (and same configuration).  Either of the following works for me:
    1) rebuild the mailbox - sometimes I have to rebuild multiple times but eventually it works
    2) find another message where the system will let you remove attachments - select both that message and the problematic message and remove attachments - it seems that if the system is able to remove messages from at least one of all the selecte messages, it will remove the attachments from all of the selected messages
    I'm getting a new laptop soon and have decided that I will give up on Apple Mail and switch back to Outlook with the new computer.  I'd had more problems with Apple Mail than I have ever had with Outlook.  (cannot remove attachments - entire message is corrupted when an attachment is removed - messages are not visible in the mailbox until after the mailbox is rebuilt - intentionally deleted messages reappear after the mailbox is rebuilt - custom stationary only produces the subject line and not the content of the message when applied to a new message - multiple copies of a single draft e-mails which cannot be deleted until I rebuild the mailbox to clean up the clutter)
    I'm now rebuilding my mailbox at least 10 times a week just to simply manage the mail, and I'm just an average user - not trying to do anything special.  It's not worth the trouble.

  • Mail setting for attachments default on 'windows compatible'

    I have difficulties sending pictures of iPhoto directly via email button to windows clients. The comment I get is that the files arrive with extension .bin and pictures cannot be opened. I do succeed by exporting as jpg to a folter and then to send via mail as attachment using the button 'make windows compatible'. I find this a long way to proceed.
    Who can help me by:
    A) adjucting my mac so that attachments in mail are default windows compatibel instead using 'that' button which I forget so often.
    B) giving me another/better shortcut so that I can send 'windows compatible' photos via iPhoto's email button.
    Your help is much appreciated. Regards from a mac user in Holland.
    Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    When you send these messages with attachments that fail, are you sending through, or via the Exchange Server?
    Many problems associated with Exchange Server originate with improper Rich Text somewhere along the way. In one situation the exchange server alters the file format information, and attachment arrives unreadable.
    If you could conduct a test, using Plain Text (plus attachment) only, and without a Signature, it would help us to home in. Even more useful, would be sending a test to me, so I could investigate further. My address can be found by clicking on my name to left of this post, and looking in the bio line of my Profile.

  • Mac mail attachments not searchable in gmail webmail

    Attachments sent for my Mountain Lion Mail.app (using my gmail account) are not searchable from the web gmail.com when I use advanced search options like "has:attachment".
    However, emails with attachments sent from web gmail.com are searchable. For some reason gmail does not recognized the mac mail sent email attachments as attachments even though the paper clip is there.
    For instance. I can search my sent folder, find the email and clearly see the attachment (and paper clip) are there. However if I do a search just as "to:[email protected] has:attachment" it only show emails that originated from web gmail.com
    Any suggestions?

  • Mac Mail to Gmail truncates attachments names and removes exstenstions

    I have a user that has mac Mail 2.1.1 and is on OS X 10.4.9. Sometimes when he sends mails to his colleagues, the attachments are truncated and the extensions are removed. For Example:
    In Mail, he attaches a file called "Heid Survey.doc". Mail sends the file and the Sent mail looks ok. On a windows machine, using firefox and gmail.com, another person checks the email and gets an attachment named "heid". It does not recognize it as a word file. If the attachment is downloaded and the .doc added to it, it will open. If the same recipient checks the mail message in Mac Mail, the email and attachment come through fine.
    I have tried this using both "Send Windows Friendly attachments" and with out it.
    This does not always happen he reports, but I was able to recreate it with my gmail account and his laptop consistently. My Mac Mail shows the attachments fine as well.
    I also tried to zip the file before sending it to gmail, and gmail recognized that it was a zip file, but when I tried to save it to the desktop on windows, it only saved the truncated version after gmail un-zipped it.
    I do not know if this is a Mac Mail or a Gmail issue. I am not sure what is happening to these messages. Can any shed some light or give me some troubleshooting tips? Anything that I can try would be great. Thanks!

    It has nothing to do with the contains. I believe it's a bug, and if you search translators lists like Systran's, you will discover this issue is spreading virically. Do not know what happens. What is known about this by embattled Mac users who now have to stop using Mail app: the phenomena begins out of the blue, one day works, one do not, it affects every file type (seems to be a problem with the name only, nothing to do with ASCII issues) and also, activating the "windows friendly" part does nothing. My case is really funny because I have one mac account with several mail accounts included, and it began with the main one (the others sent files ok) and now every account is affected. My boss is crazy with this. After a certain amount of time in the gmail account, the names appear fully sometimes, but obviously you can't tell a client, "sorry, you have to wait one day to check your mail, because I'm using Mac and it looks great, but it can't send attchments". Google says it's Apple's error, and Apple do not answer.

  • Using Mac Mail for Gmail - controlling which folders to sync

    Using Mac Mail app for my Gmail, is there a way to control which folders I'm syncing with?  I have 90k+ archived messages, which I don't need to have on my desktop.  Is there a way to keep that from syncing?

    Go into the Gmail web portal and open Settings. Go to Labels tab and set it to not show those folders in IMAP.
