Mail attachments don't work iphone

I have three users who updated their phones to 7.0.4.  After doing so, half of the email attachments don't show up in emails.  Instead, they get a "this message has no content."  It happens with different email senders and different attachment file types (pdf and xls).  One user specifically noted that it happened after updating to 7.0.4.  Two of those users are on iPhone 4S's and another is on a variation of 5.
Any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it?
side note: mail attachments on those same problem emails work on the user's Outlook clients as well as Android phones (when tested).

Use Plain Text instead of RTF for message composition and place any attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
The Send Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for only one thing and that is removing the Apple resource fork from an attached file which is invisible from fellow Mac users.

  • An apple script that saves mail attachments no longer works in lion

    In my mail rules, I have been using an apple script, which, if the sender belongs to a certain group, saves any attached files to a special folder I have for attachments from that group. After installing Lion, It performs other parts of my rule (plays a sound, for instance and moves the mesage to a special mailbox, for another), but it FAILS now to save the attachment using the script below. I hope someone knows of a workaround. If not, I hope apple will fix this soon. Here's the script--
    using terms from application "Mail"
        on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
            tell application "Mail"
                repeat with oneMessage in theMessages
                    set {mail attachment:theAttachments} to oneMessage
                    repeat with oneAttachment in mail attachments of oneMessage
                        save oneAttachment in ("i828:Users:i8:Desktop:Poker Player:PPlayattach2") & (name of oneAttachment)
                    end repeat
                end repeat
            end tell
        end perform mail action with messages
    end using terms from

    This worked brilliantly!
    Thanks

  • Email attachments don't work

    can someone help or explain why some of my attached won't open. I have the 8310 curve with ATT upgraded to the 4.5 os. I have noticed that the attachments won't open when that happens the select button don't work or the menu button don't work. can it be that the file is to large...I can't quite remember if all attachments worked under the 4.2 os  

    I just did a quick Google search and empower IS compatible with 4.5.

  • Syncing rules in Mail (OSX) don't work...

    I can't sync rules with iCloud. When I activate Documents and Data in iCloud, the rules configured in Mail are deleted. If I create a new rule, when re-start Mail, the rule dissapear.
    If turn off Documents and Data, all work perfect. I have a backup of SyncedRules.plist (Library->Mail->V2->MailData) to restore.
    I had tried a lot of "fixes", but nothing work.
    I have another issues with Documents and Data betwen iOS and Mac. Syncing of data with apps like Tweetbot, IAwriter, iWork... don't work. I'm sure something in my iCloud account is wrong, but I don't know how fix it.
    Are there anyone from Apple that can help me?.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
    That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

  • Mail Rules don't work in Mavericks

    It seems with the update to 10.9 Mavericks Mail rules no longer work. My email address was harvested by spamers and I have been using rules to weed throught the 100's of emails that I receive each day.
    Russian Brides, Vigra, Learn a new language get moved into the trash when delievered. Now nothing happens.
    I just tried to write a new rule and when I clicked the Prefs pannel I got the spinning cursor. After waiting for some time I did a force quit only to find that Mail was not responding.
    Anyone have any ideas? I did not see any major changes with Mail and Mavericks so I'm not sure why it's been effected.

  • Yosemite Mail Shortcuts Don't Work

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and my customized Mail shortcuts are not working.
    I have shortcuts for changing the account I want a message sent from (Option-Command-G for Gmail, Option-Command-Y for Yahoo, etc).
    I also have shortcut for select the signature (Option-Command-X for None).
    After upgrading to Yosemite there is no way that I can make them work.
    Any suggestion will be truly appreciated.
    Regards.

    Thank you lindytalbot.
    Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to Mavericks.
    Many issues. Bluetooth: Magic Mouse works inconsistently. Poor performance with Apple TV which I use it a lot with Skype for video conferencing. Shortcuts.
    Again. thanks a lot for your reply.

  • ICal .ics e-mail attachments - NOT recognized by iPhone  !!

    Really?! Apple couldn't add iCal file type recognition to the iphone's e-mail application? Sad.. people send iCal .ics calendar scheduling files as attachments in e-mails all the time and the iphone can't figure out what kind of attachment it is ! Am I missing something here? Why is such a simple smartphone feature missing from the iphone?

    I'm trying to open the attachment and have the scheduled information get added to my calendar.. I.E. like every other smartphone out there is capable of. I can see the attached file on the iphone e-mail, but it won't let me download or open it.

  • Mail Version 2.1.1 (752.3) Junk Mail Buttons Don't Work

    I have ... Reset junk mail.
    The problem occurs before and after junk mail is reset and junk mail learning mode is active for any number of days.
    When I get junk mail in my inbox and click on it once and then use either the "Not Junk" icon in Toolbar or "Not Junk" button in message header, Mail treats the message as not junk. When another e-mail arrives from same sender, it's again marked as junk. I've noticed that some messages revert to the "junk" colour even after they are marked as not junk.
    I've repaired permissions and restarted the iMac and restarted Mail app.
    Wonder if I have the latest version of Mail? Please help. Thanks
    iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Have dual boot with XP Pro on "other side"

    Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the junk filter rule.
    2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t change anything there.
    3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
    You can use the Colors palette (Format > Show Colors) to manually change the background highlight of messages in the message list. Although the Colors palette cannot be used to set the foreground color, it can be used to remove it. In particular, choosing either black or white removes both the background highlight and the foreground color of the messages currently selected in the message list.

  • ICloud Mail & Contacts don't work well together?

    I have iCloud activated for Mail and Contacts. Now, when in Mail and I try to address an email, the address book shows up but none of the sub address books show up.  How do I get them populated?  Do I have to go back to syncing with MobileMe?

    this is not a bug - but you're right its a serious problem.
    The same happens on Linux/NVidia too igf I force antialiasing and use the OGL pipeline.
    This happens because java tries to accerlate some graphic opeerations with DirectX or OpenGL and it simply wants the graphic-card to render the stuff it sends the graphic card.
    However with AA turned on you graphic card tries to optimize the data coming from java which is nonsence since the AA was designed for games.
    So basically its neither java's fault nore the dirvers one.
    Both work as expected - but not well together. I think driver-manufactureres should provide a common API for telling the driver that this and that application does NOT want to be AA'ed even if its forced.
    Till now there's nothing SUN could do about this issue...

  • HTML email and attachments don't work

    I have programmed a simple PHP script to format a web page form response and send an email message as a report to my client as an HTML email, plain text alternate part, and with a small attachment. My client, using Apple Mail on OS X, only sees a plain text dump of the entire email message, headers and all. His mail client shows other people's messages of this sort properly. The hitch is that I can't figure this one out, because the same mails, when sent to other people, are perfect. They display properly in Windows email programs, and other people's Mac-based mail programs, and perfectly on any web mail interfaces I can find (e.g. Horde, etc). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be going on in this instance? (My customer has standard Apple Mail running in some recent flavor of Mac OS X).

    There is probably something wrong with your message. Send one to me at info at etresoft dot com and I should be able to tell you what it is.

  • E.mail aliasses don't work...

    I'm having a problem with my e.mail accounts / alliases (not with my default main account, but with the extra ones I've created)
    I know the address is active; I can for example send myself an e.mail TO this address. I just can't send FROM, as I am always asked:
    "Enter Password for Account "KrienQuad"
    The .Mac server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    Now I am sure the password is correct; but it doesnt seem to recognise it and refuses to send?
    I'm not sure if it might be to do with each accounts outgoing mail server (tried using the smtp.mac.com:[email protected], as well as my ISP and my main .mac server)
    I'm really stumped - can anyone shed some light? Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Is your Profile correct that you are running 10.3.9? If so, the ability to send directly with .mac alias addresses was only added to 10.4 and Mail 2.0.
    If you have other accounts, provided for example by your ISP, you can add the .mac alias addresses to those addresses listed in the email address preference entry box of the other accounts, and using commas to separate each address.
    More info, and questions, please.

  • Maverick update: messanger/mail express don't work

    Hello All,
      With all of the updates (Maverick), my wife's messanger & mail express no longer open up. They are locked down. I tried to dump both into the trash but Maverick won't allow me to do that. Also, I cannot find either on the dowload store. If I missed the obvious, I apologize in advance. Any suggestions?
    Yes, I can wipe the HD and start over but am trying to avoid that. Any assistance would be greatful.
    Thank you in advance.
