Mail app sending jpeg image attachments as thumbnails?

I'm trying to send four jpeg images that are 1152 x 864 (about 1.4 MG each) as attachments to an email. Doesn't matter if I check large or actual size, they arrive as tiny thumbnails. The receiver can't double click on them to make them larger.
If I send one jpeg it arrives OK in full size, but if I send two or more they arrive as the small thumbnails.
Thanks, Rick

When the recipient saves the images, are they thumbnails? It sounds like the additional images are saved as an image file, but should expand to full size when saved.
You could put all the images in a folder and zip the folder.
Control-Click (Right-click) on a folder and select "Compress". This will create a .zip file.
Another option is to put on DropBox, OneDrive, Box.com, Google drive and send a link for them to download.
Note: Mail in Yosemite will include a feature to send large file. If the files are too big to send, it will send a link to download.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Marydee-You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images & how 2 get info

Marydee- You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images. And you also asked how to get photo info for each image in iphoto
Here's what I found in the iPhoto6 Help Menu:
Showing a photo's image and camera information
iPhoto stores EXIF information with each photo in your library. This information includes the photo's image size, the date and time it was taken, and the type of camera it was taken on, as well as important exposure information, such as the shutter speed, aperture, and film ISO.
To show image and camera information:
Select the photo and choose Photos > Get Info.
You can also see a photo's title, date taken, rating, format, and comments by clicking the Information button in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window.
Also please take a look at these prior discussions in iPhoto Forum/s:

Mountain Lion Mail.app Sends Email Several Times While Drafting Reply

Using Mail.app in Mountain Lion and the default configuration of Gmail via IMAP (as configured by Mail.app) when I reply to an existing message, Mail.app sends the partially completed email message several times while I am drafting the message, without me hitting the send button. This does not occur when composing new messages. I have not yet determined what is causing the message to send. My working theory is that it is sending the message each time a draft is saved to the server. Any insight on what is happening (or confirmation that other people are experiencing the same behavior) would be appreciated.

I have 4 accounts running, 2 POP and 2 IMAP, after doing some checking today with a mac engineer online, it appears that it is incoming mail only affected and only on the POP accounts. I had previously tried recreating the accounts but as from today even just quitting Mail and reopening no longer works... the engineer has had to exculate my call to a specialist who in turn has now had to send it off to a specialist team to work on. When I get results, I will post them in case it helps someone else.

Mail app sends emails with headers in body.

I use Mail.app to access my MS Exchange account. When replying to the end of a long email thread, the people I send the email end up seeing the headers after references. I know it's possible it's on the other users end, but if there any way to fix this problem on my end?
An example of what is seen in the body of one of my emails:
References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <54F1EB642B0 [email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]>

Hi Tom,
Do you see those long headers when you initially receive the message?
If you do, then you can change that by going to Mail/Preferences/Viewing and change "Show header detail" to "Default" or "None". You can also customize what is seen in headers.

Mail.app sends emails too soon

For the past six months or so, Mail.app has been sending emails while I'm halfway through composing them. I'm not accidentally hitting the Send button, or typing the keyboard shortcut. So I've no idea what's actually doing it. Is anyone else noticing the same bug?

I haven't seen it mentioned here.
Are your mails plain text or RTF? Are you using any apps or widgets that interface with mail (eg new mail announcers)? Does it always happen or only sometimes? What happens if you disconnect from the internet while composing?

Mail.app not decoding MIME attachments correctly

I have a security camera that e-mails me a video clip whenever a security event happens.   I have these events e-mailed to a linux server to a private e-mail account. From time to time, I use Mail.app on my Mac to review the video clips by opening the attachments with MPlayerX. Until I upgraded to Yosemite, all this worked flawlessly.
The issue is that with Yosemite, about half of the e-mailed video clips are being received corrupted and unplayable.   I'm certain that it has something to do with the MIME decoding of the attachment that appears to have changed in Yosemite.   If I click on the e-mail attachment directly, and select "Save Attachment..." to save it to a file, the file will be corrupt and unplayable.   But, If I view the e-mail raw source, extract out the base 64 encoding and then decode it manually with openssl's base64 command the file is never corrupt and always correct.
I have Maildrop disabled in the account properties and do not use iCloud at all.
Has anybody else had issues with e-mail attachment decoding on Yosemite? Any possible workaround other then downgrading back to Mavericks?   Is this a known issue that is going to be fixed very soon since I'm assuming a lot of people will be hitting this.
Thanks.

Quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index.
Delete the Envelope Index file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import mailboxes. Select OK and allow this process to complete. This really isn't importing anything but replacing the deleted Envelope Index file and re-indexing all mailboxes and messages.
I'm not sure this will make any difference either but can't hurt.
After confirming all mailboxes/messages are available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder from the Desktop.

Mail option "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" is grayed-out

I use Mail 4.2 under OS 10.6.2.
The option "Send Windows-Friendrly Attachments" is grayed-out.
Is there a reason for that?
Could that mean that it in non functional?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks!
I understand what you mean and that was the explanation that I gave myself, but without really knowing if I was right. Your explanation seems logical.
I was raising this point, because I have a problem sending attached ".jpg" photos to a friend in Europe (France) who uses Outlook under Windows Vista. He keeps telling me that I am at the origin of the problem, this problem being that he receives the attachment within the core of the text and that the file is in ".bmp" rather than ".jpg"!
Otherwise, I am not having the problem with others Windows users, who also use Outlook (under XP, Vista, or 7). They all receive the ".jpg" file as such and can open it by clicking twice on it, and also save it as such.
But I'm trying to see if I do something wrong before I try to convince this friend that the problem may be on his side. In which case, I also would like to help him in finding out what the problem is (but I'm not expert of the "dark side").

Duplicate MIME headers when Mail.app sends email

Looks like Mail.app is sending two MIME headers:
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Is there anyway to stop this?
I think it is what is breaking the DKIM signing for me. (Thunderbird, webmail etc works find sending DKIM signed mails, but Mail.app and my iPhone mangle the signature somehow).
Thanks,
James.

Mail App sending mail super slow.. ??

I am trying to send mail using my @me account and it sending super slow even for small text. as a test i just wrote test and sent and it was a couple minutes to send. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have restarted mail several times and restarted my macbook..
went to gmail to test and sent to my mac address and was instant. but all outgoings from mail app are like syrup
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Having a bit of a meltdown at the moment and would love my mac not to fail me at the worst time as well.....aarrggghh

An issue with DNS can arise when sending via the SMTP, and it will likely be different for different ISPs. To confirm this is the problem, please prepare two new messages for sending, before sending either of them. Then click to send the first one, and as soon as you hear the swoosh that it has gone out, click to send the second one. If the second goes out almost instantaneously, then it is correctable with a change in DNS.
Two citations, different approaches, but really both addressing DNS:

and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8974547&#8974547
This happened for many people with the beginning of Mail 3 in Leopard, but some may only experience in Snow Leopard and Mail 4.x.
Two recent experiences people had can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11962726&#11962726
and
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12099641#12099641
I am not sure how to advise you in New Zealand, but your ISP should be able to provide you with explicit DNS addresses to enter. This not impact webmail sending, btw.
Keep us posted.

Refurbished MacBook Pro Mail app sends email responses to the previous owner

I bought my MacBook Pro refurbished about two years ago, and noticed recently that when I send emails through the Mail app, I don't get the responses. I quickly found out that, when I send emails through Mail, it sends under the email of my MacBook's previous owner, and so when people respond to these emails, they get sent to her.
I tried looking it up and I can't find anyone who's had a similar problem.
Also, just to rule out one option, when I go to edit the accounts in Mail, I have the mailbox under my email address. Could it be something with my Apple ID?Has this happened to anyone else?

I doubt you want just a pig-pile in your inbox.
Create categories like Taxes, Services, Friendly correspondence, Online Orders, Apple Discussions. Move the emails into the folders and they survive on your Mac.

Mail.app sending sent items to the wrong folder on server

In Mail.app, I have the following checked:
"Store sent messages on the server" (which copies messages to "Sent Messages" on the server)
"Store deleted messages on the server" checked (which copies messages to "Deleted Messages" on the server)
But when I use my webmail, it uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" for sent and deleted files.
How do I set Mail.app to use the correct folders?

this is because Mail creates its own Sent and Trash folders on the server by default. they are called "Sent Messages" and "Deleted messages". a webmail server might have different default mailboxes for that. yours apparently uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items". You can tell Mail to use the same mailboxes as Webmail does as follows. select "Sent Items' mailbox in the imap section of your email account in the lower part of the sidebar in Mail. then go to Mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->Sent. do the same with "Deleted Items".

My Mail app sends me to home screen when I open it

Let me tell you what I have done after reading all of the threads on this forum about this issue.
• Closed the app mail and restarted it #RollEyes #duh
• Turning phone off and turning it back on
• Resetting Phone
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the Settings app), then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then shutting down phone, then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then resetting phone, then re adding
• Deleting all of my mail from the mail servers (using my computer) for the last two days, then "delete forever" all of that mail that I moved to the trash (my mail app stopped working today - so two days should cover it)
• Putting the phone in airplane mode
• Setting the phone to "data off"
I still get a mail app that "opens" then immediatly goes back to the home screen (the mail app is still "running" as I can see it when I double tap my home button to see the "running" apps)
I've been using apple products since I was 5 years old, family of electrical engineers, and I'm stumped. I love apple and the reason I've used their products is to avoid software malfunctions etc. . . I'm not gonna lie, it's gotten worse over the last few years with Apple's growing popularity. . .
Gonna need a solution as I use my mail for work on a daily basis
using iPhone 5S Champagne with latest software 7.0.4
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

Restore as new, THEN restore from the backup. It seems as if the Mail App is corrupted. Last Sunday this happened to me on my iPad (Mail app quitting, just like in your case). I restored as new, then reinstalled the backup. Luckily I had a backup (from the day before) which was backed up BEFORE the mail problem appeared.
If the above does not solve your problem, I suggest restoring as new and redownloading each app individually, and then transferring your photos from iPhoto on the Mac (or whataever photo app on Windows) and content independently.
If that does not solve your prblem, there might be a hardware problem.

Mail App Sending Packets, hogging network.

Hello.
Within the past day my home wireless network began running very slowly. After resetting the wireless router and airport, the problem persisted.
By chance I closed the Mail app and the network speed went back to normal. I've since figured out that when the mail app is open, the number of packets sent from my computer spikes and slows my network to a crawl. I've tried restoring the Maill app from time machine but it is still causing the problem.
Any insight about this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have it set up with Gmail as an IMAP account. And Until yesterday, it had done the same thing, only using the network when the app first started. However, at some point yesterday it began constantly hogging the network and it did it consistently for a full day and half until a few hours ago when I discovered that the mail app was actually the problem and closed it.

TS3276 Mail is sending emails without attachments

When I send an email using Apple Mail with attachments embedded within the text the first part email gets sent but the attachments and any text beyond is truncated.
The attachments were created by taking a snapshot of part of a document viewed in Preview and saved as a PDF. The attachments open correctly in Preview so there is nothing wrong with the files.
I am using a 27" iMac OS X 10.9.1

Perhaps you have been working on Mail / Preferences / Accounts?
Instead, open Mail. Click Mail in the menu bar and select Accounts (not Preferences).
In the new pane check if the Account you do not want is still listed. If it is you can select it and delete with the - (minus sign).
