Mac Mail sending messy code attachments to windows

I've sync 6 different mail accounts to my Mac Mail, but what it troubles me is that when I send Chinese emails with attchemnt (in Chinese too) the reciever Widonow users keep getting messy code with somthing like (鍛@?鍗＄墖.docx).
I've been look every where on Google can't find any good solution. I know that changing my Text Encoding works but I can't set it to defualt
I know there's an updates that windows can download so that they read mac's uni code, but I can't find the download link.
If I switch to Office Outlook would I still get this problem? or is there any better way that Apple can help me to solve this?

To thoughs just been searching, I just came across a app that actually solve this problem (well at least for Chinese attachment).
It's a new app develop by tencent called foxmail (http://foxmail.com.cn) it works fine for me.
you guys can go check it out. But this app's interface isn't as good as mac mail, but at least my colleagues stopped complaining at the mess code problem.

Mail sender client with attachments

I am trying to find examples on how to write a mail sender that includes attachments. I already have the mail sender built (basic to, from, subject, data), but I don't know how to implement the attachment part (MIME).
I do not want to use the JavaMail API.

So you're writing an implementation of the mail RFCs from scratch? If so then the RFCs themselves will tell you what to do. Or are you using some other tool to support this work? If so, what?

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.
help

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?

Mac Mail - IMAP setup - Large attachments are corrupt

Mac Mail - IMAP setup - Large attachments are corrupt
Attachments open fine in webmail
Mailbox rebuild does not help
Appears files over 500k are affected
Multiple users affected
Backend is GroupWise 7
So, I see several posts on this topic, with no solutions.... Is this a known issue according to Apple? If so, can some point me to the official release notes/ bug report??

I have the same problem. When I look at the message with Entourage, I found out that while under IMAP the attachment is not fully downloaded from the exchange server. Entourage gives you the choice to download this file. When I select, the file comes down and opens OK. I heard that some clients have a max size download setting for IMAP but Mac Mail does not. Anyone know how to get around this?

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

Replying to myself:
You can sign out from the account in iBooks and then sign in to another one.
From the menu bar, choose: Store->Sign Out
Then sign in again with the desired ID: Store->Sign In

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.

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 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.

Why won't my mac mail send GIFS?

It can receive them, but i can't fwd or send a new email, when i do it's just a still image? This only started happening when i'm updated to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance.

It will send them, but attachments have tricky issues when sending to various e-mail clients. Your best bet is to use "Windows Friendly Attachments" when you have doubt what the recipient is using.

Dot Mac Mail SMTP not accepting attachments over 2mb

So i am trying to help my boss out with sending emails with attachments, but i keep running into the same problem. I can send normal emails just fine, and emails with small attachments work fine (i tried 50bytes, 750kb, 1.1mb, and 1.7mb) but once i get over 2mb i get the error message "An error occured while sending mail. The mail server responded: 4.0.0. Spam filter end message failed [slot2]. Please check the message and try again.". I tried both 2.4mb and 3.2mb files, but no luck. I tried sending with just plain text, and with sending HTML/Plain text. I tried every combination of SMTP server ports i could find, like port 25, no encryption, port 25 TLS is possible, port 25 SSL, port 587 no encryption, port 587 TLS if possible, port 587 SSL, and whatever the default SSL port is (i forget). The computer is one of the newer MacBooks, running BootCamp and windows XP. The mail application is Thunderbird, which i use extensivly on my personal computers. There are no firewalls up, even the router has the laptops IP on DMZ mode, and just to be safe, i made sure i could connect to port 587 with telnet from the command line. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Possibly so, but mobileme is currently having a lot of problems and that might have been reduced to lessen the strain on the servers.

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 - 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.
