Mac Mail, it takes forever to send anything with an attachment.

On my IMac, if I attach anything to an email, it takes absolutely forever. I can count the Kb at the bottom of the screen and then it craps out and I have to restart. Is there a step that I missing that would help move these along? It is so much slower than Outlook
Thanks@!

Sounds like an anti virus issue (it usually is). Disable outgoing mail scanning as a first attempt.

Yosemite mail 8.0 won't send stationery with Word attachment

Before upgrading to Yosemite. I could send stationery-based email with a Word file attachment. Now when I followed the same process as I have done every week fro the past 5 months with my team meeting agenda, if get an error "This message cannot be sent because it uses stationery and contains attachments that are not images."
I had created a stationery with the addresses of my coworkers and the same body text similar to "Attached is the agenda for this week's meeting". I then click in the body of the email, arrow down (the click in the stationery email always selects all the text) to the end and insert a Word document. Always worked before. Now I get the error message. Any ideas on how to send a "non image" attachment with a stationery-based email message in Mail 8.0 under OS X Yosemite 10.10?
I using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013).
Thank you.

As a first step, try the following.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
Delete the Outbox.mbox folder and empty the Trash.
This will delete all messages not sent that remain in the Outbox mailbox so if you want to save these messages, transfer them to the account's Drafts mailbox before quitting Mail and delete the Outbox.mbox folder using the Finder.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox folder will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Mail messages take forever to send.

Simple messages, without attachments, html, etc. just sit there and the sending gear spins. My activity window shows a long stall in the activity bar before it begins sending. This just began happening yesterday. Me, or my provider? If me, please tell me what voodoo I need to employ to fix this. TIA.

Hi mj,
Most frequently this appears to be the result of not properly negotiating the DNS address automatically. For me, with Leopard, it was always a problem until I stumbled on providing the primary and secondary DNS Server addresses manually into the Modem, while for a good friend the need to do this did not immediately arise, but did later.
If you get the correct addresses from your ISP you may simply be able to enter them in Network Preference panes, but I accessed my Modem directly from the browser and entered them. It seems more logical to do that if using a router and multiple computers.
I think your provider changed something -- it may or may not get changed back. In the Activity window, what you should be seeing is a long time being used to connect and then a short time transmitting. You can test further by preparing two messages to send, then send the first one and as soon as it swooshes, send the second. If DNS, the second one should go almost immediately.

Mail takes forever to send all of a sudden!

For some reason, my mail app is taking forever to send anything all of a sudden. Even smaller text-only emails take a couple minutes. I've tried ports 25 and 587 - no difference. Any thoughts?
Also I am upgrading from 1gb to 2gb RAM tomorrow - would that speed things up at all? (I don't imagine that it would...any thoughts?)

It could be that there is a problem with the particular outgoing server you’re using. Are this mail account and the associated outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP or by someone else?
It could also be that there is something wrong with your network settings. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc and see whether that makes a difference.

My 13" Mac Pro behaves like everything is in slow motion. Takes forever to do anything, on or offline. Would this be a software conflict or a hardware problem?

My 13" Mac Pro behaves like everything is in slow motion. Takes forever to do anything. Wondering if this is a software issue or a hard drive problem?

Maybe some maintenance will help:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Mac mail will receive but not send, happened yesterday!

Hi, my mac will receive email but not send anything. I didn't do anything differently and it was working just fine before. Can someone please help me. I am trying to get work emails out and they won't send. Gmail and exchange won't send, it's not just one email provider. Please advise. I have looked up other forums and I don't think it has anything to do with the settings because it worked before.
Thanks for your help.

It takes forever to print anything...

This just started a little while ago. We have two G4s on a network. Both running 10.3.9. One prints just fine. The other takes forever to print anything. We noticed this printing InDesign docs. So I ran a test using TextEdit. I typed a single word and hit print. It took nearly a minute to print one word.
We have an HP Laserjet 1320N on the network.
Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? Surely it must be a System issue.
Thanks
Joe G.

Hi Joe,
So it gets caught up on the second occasion, suggesting that the OS is not getting the 'all clear' from the printer after the first job. Incidentally, while it is taking forever to print is the (Console.app) system.log writing lots of error messages whilst this is occurring? Please do not post the log, just say if there is log activity occurring.
You could try two things;
1. delete again this file.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.HPLaserjet.plist
then run Repair Permissions from Disk utilities (found in Utilities)
and then in an Administative account open Terminal (found in Utilities) and copy and paste into terminal the command
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
type in the admin password, (it will type invisibly).
press return and wait, it could take a minute to complete.
and see if that fixes things.
2. If not, then I suggest do a Repair Disk.
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then hold down the C key until you hear the chime.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to First Aid and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
Select the start up drive, then you click on Repair Disk .
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
Then run Repair Permissions.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
good luck with those procedures.

TS3899 While messing with my two step verification I inadvertinely did something to disconnect myself from my gmail account that is on my mac mail. I can't send or receive any mail

while messing with my two step verification on my gmail account I inadvertently did sometime to my gmail account on my Mac mail. I can't send or receive mail. Any thoughts

When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google. I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer. It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices. Once its working its not bad though. You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

it might just be that the cellular data connection is slow

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, using an iCloud email account will not affect any other mail account you have in your mail application. You can continue to use them as you have always done.

This doesn't look like a problem with Firefox, but with the attachment that you are putting on the email is blocked. You can read the link the error message gave you, which basically says that :
"ade", "adp", "bat", "chm", "cmd", "com", "cpl", "exe",
"hta", "ins", "isp", "jse", "lib", "mde", "msc", "msp",
"mst", "pif", "scr", "sct", "shb", "sys", "vb", "vbe",
"vbs", "vxd", "wsc", "wsf", "wsh"
Gmail won't accept these types of files even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz, .rar) format. If this type of message is sent to your Gmail address, it is bounced back to the sender automatically.

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.
