Mac mail sending jpegs to a PC not sent as an attachment

When I send an email with images as jpegs they are not able to see them as an attachment. When they are revived on a pc in live mail they are stripped of the name and given a different name. My friends can not save them as a jpeg. If I send them in a folder they arrived in live mail as zipped.
My friends tell me that Mac is making the changes. When sending to another Mac everything is fine.
Does anyone have an explanation what is going on? I am on lion when I was on snow leopard there was no problem. All of this seems to be since I switched to lion.
Thank you

Do you tick the bottom box 'Send as Windows-Frienly Attachment' when choosing the attachment?

My mac mail sends a false return address

my mac mail sends a false return address.
isp (Att yahoo) indicates false return address is one of thiers, but cannot understand how our computer finds it inorder to send out. The false address lists an odd email server (pimout) instead of sbcglobal ([email protected]).
isp suggests mac mail must be making contact with the server, and finding this address, some how in a search for it's appropriate address is the theory, because it is one of their's.....but has never been our address..
So, I don't really care why, but figure if I trash the right lib/pref file, I can lose this problem.

Paul, this is not a very clear description of your problem, but let's give it a try;
In your Preferences for Mail, Accounts, what do you have there as email name? the correct address?
Can you send me an email (provided somewhere in my profile when you click on my name) so I can see what the data in there looks like?

How do I change the hostname used when Mac Mail sends EHLO

Hi All,
I work for a tech support group and one of our clients is experiencing some trouble sending emails. When they connect to their outbound mail server Mac Mail sends the EHLO command with a hostname like 01:23:45:67:89:ab.home
Another Mac on the network sends a hostname like 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29.home2
So they appear to be the a Mac address for the computers NIC followed by a generic location in this case .home, not sure if thats a generic Mac thing or something they chose to configure but because the hostname is not an ip address and contains ".(dot)home" the outbound mail server our client uses believes it to be a domain so then rejects it as an invalid domain when a lookup on it fails.
I've changed the hostname of one of the Macs using the command "cutil –-set HostName new_hostname"
This has changed the hostname when checking it by the hostname command in a Terminal but Mac Mail still persists in using the old hostname. We've tried rebooting the machine and rebooting the machine with the left shift key held down as I believe this does some kind of rebuild of configuration files, but still the old hostname is send when Mac Mail sends EHLO.
How can I force Mac Mail to pick up the new hostname or is there something else I need to do to change it?
thanks for any assistance you can provide,
Martin

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

Mac mail sending messages to people not on distribution

When sending a reply to a mac mail message that originally had several people in the distribution the reply message will send to everyone in the distribution even if you manually take out an address from the message you are sending out.

In have a similar problem. I consistently request that names of all people on send list to NOT be shown to individual addressees, but consistenly are sent all the names. Can this be corrected?

Mac Mail sends but does not receive

Hi
Big problem!
Just upgraded to Lion - and this problem was on Snow Leopard too - I tried to upgrade to sort this out!
Mail sends emails but does not recieve.
I own the server where it is trying to connect to - the emails are there - I can see them through webmail.
I have set up different email accounts on Mail and exactly the same for all domains and email accounts.
I have re-installed Mail - exactly the same happens.
I have used Thunderbird and it works!
So it has to be a Mail problem. Server is fine, OS is fine, other email is fine. Mail is the problem.
I think it has to do with keychain? Not sure though... I have tried literally hundreds of things but nothing works and I am at my wits end and run out of ideas!
Any suggestions would be warmly received!!
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I have the same problem with my incoming mail. I talked to the folks at Frontier (my ISP). They verified that a
test message I had sent was received. All account info appeared to be ok. I click on "get mail" and I do not
receive any new incoming messages. All connections succeed Using Connection Doctor, although the connection to smtp.frontiernet.net spins quite awhile before succeeding.
While I was composing this reply, I decided to try to send a test message to my wife's account. It came
through ok. I think I might have to contact Frontier again on this. When I set her account up they gave me a
different Incoming Mail Server name to use: pop3.frontier.com, whereas mine is: pop3.frontiernet.net. I believe
new accounts are being assigned to: pop3.frontier.com.
Also, when I'm showing all inboxes, Mine all have a symbol after them that looks like a lazy z. I am not familiar
with this symbol, but since I'm having trouble, I suspect it is telling me something. Help on this??

Mac Mail sends email okay, does not receive

For a few days, I have been unable to receive email to my Inbox (using Mail to check yahoo via IMAP). I have been able to send just fine (as verified by logging in at yahoo.com). After reading other people's notes, I have tried several things, such as taking offline, then back online. It seems I only have the problem with my Inbox (it appears that I am getting bulk mail just fine), but I could not "rebuild" the Inbox (under "Mailbox") as it is greyed out. I have also tried deleting the folders in my Mail library and starting over. It is building up all the other mailboxes now, but not the Inbox.
What could cause just the Inbox to stop working (and receiving messages) and how can I fix? Thank you.

Attaching jpg images in Mac Mail - sending to a PC

I've been looking for some current information on this problem. Most of the posts seem to be years old. Is there a working solution to attach images to an email and allow a PC user to download them like a regular attachment?

I am having the same problem with only a select few of clients. Sending pdf - fine, they arrive as attachments. Send a jpg and they are embedded within the email and they have to copy and paste the image out of their email into another program - thus risking the quality of their computers capacity to provide a good image. Then another client has no problem. Read everything, click on everything. I can buy a iconizer, but why do I need to buy a program to simple get the jpg to the client. And why do I need to read every post back to 2003 on why Outlook does this so I can use my simple - attach file within the mac mail. So now I have to go within my computer - control click and save the file into a zip - sometime adding another folder to group them all together. More clutter on my computer.
This is what is frustrating. Go on mac posts to find answers - they have you click on all these buttons and stuff. Go to pc outlook google searches and they have them clicking and doing all sorts of fixes. Can't these two computer software groups figure this out.
If it was happening on every client - then I would think it was me. If was happening on every outlook client - I mean everyone outlook receiver - then it is outlook, but it only happens with a few. What button within outlook does the client need to click on or off - it is that simple.
I might sound frustrated but I'm not. By the post out on the net that I read - this is happening a lot but no one specific answer seems to work. And it is all related to me with the client's outlook email service.

Mac mail send problem

hi
a problem with mac mail. while the laptop is at the office the mail program works fine, out of office it does not - it recives mail but does not send. we have our own mail server (leopard server) it's on the office network. We use IMAP. We connect via VPN to our office network so the SMTP is always the same. When the folder username-library-mail is deleted mail recreates it and sends mails for some time but then stops.
Thunderbird in the same macbook works fine using same SMTP port
what causes this phenomena?

Mac mail sending issue

Hi,
I'm using Mac Mail to send my emails. I have them set up using IMAP with GoDaddy hosting my emails.
For some reason Mac Mail is not saving / recording all sent emails, especially emails sent with attachments. The recipient is receiving them all so they've definitely been sent, but they're not appearing in the sent items / sent folders.

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Mac Mail sending out multiple e-mails

Dear All,
My friend reports that today he is receiving 3 copies of every e-mail message that I send him. I'm working on a Mac Pro, Lion 10.7.5, using Mac Mail through Yahoo, and I have only one account. I have an iPod touch, but I have never sent e-mail through that device nor signed up for it on the iPod -- I only use my Mac desktop for sending and receiving e-mails. Anyone else having this recent problem? I never had it before today! Thanks.

Are you sure it's the Mac sending out the spam, or just spam masquerading as coming from your email account (the From: line is ridiculously simple to forge)?
While it's clearly possible to devise a system to cause a Mac to send out spam email (or any other computer for that matter), it wouldn't be terribly efficient for the spammer. Even when they take over zombie machines (and unpatched Windows XP systems are the favorites there) the spammer would prefer to use the machine to send out all kinds of email *AND* would attempt not to draw attention to the actual machine sending out the stuff.
That is, where it *appears* to be coming from will generally not be where it is coming from.
What malware prefers to do is "harvest" an address book from a user's computer (or, more often these days, from an online address book after phishing the credentials from the user) and then using that to send out emails to your contacts that look like they come from you so that they are more likely to be opened. If that's what has happened, there's nothing you could do to the Mac at this point to get that data back.
Again, while it is clearly possible to harvest that data under either OSX or Windows 7 from your address book in either platform, it is considerably more difficult to do that than to go after your credentials for an online site using a phishing attack and then make use of the contact information.

MAC Mail - Sends Mail but mail never arrives at destination

Hi,
I have Leopard installed and am using MAC Mail for email. I connect to Virgin email servers for mail. Mostly this works fine, however I have found that sometimes I send email to contacts and it never arrives and never bounces back. I think it only happens when I click 'Reply' on emails. The addresses are correct and I never get a bounce back. Anyone had this problem?

Hmm…I see two problems here: one is that your profile says you're running 10.4.10; if that's true, then you should update to 10.4.11 immediately, and you're in the wrong forum. If that's not the case, you need to update your profile so it accurately reflects the specific version of OS X you're running. And FYI: there is no MAC Mail; it's Mac. MAC is an acronym for something completely different.
As for your problem, as long as the mail is sent, what happens to it after that is out of your control. It's possible that Virgin is experiencing problems with their mail servers to that some of these emails are deleted before they ever reach their destination, and it's also possible that the recipients' ISP is experiencing that kind of problem, but it would be rare. It's more likely that something in the subject or the body of the email you're sending is being flagged as spam and that the recipient or their ISP puts them into a Spam type folder or just deletes them before they ever reach the recipient. Since I don't know what kind of emails you send or to whom, I can't be sure, but I'd ask my recipients about this first, then my ISP.

After deleting several email from my phone, it will not update in Mac Mail and shows message: Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash"

Using Outlook account associated with work. Deletes on iPhone, but not in Mac Mail. I do not have Outlook for Mac.

Does the Outlook account allow you to store deleted mails on server?
Look under trash and see if "Store deleted messages on the server" is checked
