Mail Downloading Junk Mail Images

I wrote Apple for product feedback, but I wanted to bring awareness to this group - so that other could experiment and complain as well.
I don't know about most people, but I find it completely unacceptable that junk mail images are showing up in my Spotlight searches. I came to discover this when I used the "Yesterday" Search For feature in the new Finder. To my surprise I was viewing thumbnails of several XXX interracial sex scenes. When I investigated where on Earth they came from -- it turns up they were in the Mail attachments folder. They came in and were saved to my hard disk from junk mail. It seems insecure (to me) to be accepting junk mail images and saving them to the hard disk. Not to mention the embarrassment if a college or someone saw that on my laptop!
I am not quite sure how it's happening ... because I know if you view a junk mail it gives you the option to load images, but somehow they're getting saved down nonetheless.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

That only applies to remote images in emails.
If the images are included in the email as an attachment, then there's nothing to load.
There's no real problem here, except for the annoyance of spam images showing up in Spotlight.

Get Mail to Stop Downloading Junk from Exchange Server

Our company uses Comcast Business Class for email service. They in turn are running Exchange 2007 servers.
I recently had to reconfigure all my email accounts do to a corrupt Mail plist. Upon doing so, I found out about Mail 4.2's (Snow Leopard edition) ability to auto discover Exchange server configurations. Pretty nifty. With one caveat. Apple Mail is downloading all the Junk mail that winds up on the Exchange server. Which is quite a bit.
Originally, before the corrupt plist problem, my Mail 4.2 was upgraded from Leopard and the account information transferred using the non-auto discovery method, if you will. When it was setup that way, there were only about two or three Junk messages that breached the barrier per day. Now I'm getting dozens.
On to my question: is there a way to configure Mail to stop downloading Junk mail from an Exchange server and just leave the Junk on the Exchange server?

Thanks, William.
They are, fortunately, being filtered into my Junk folder in Mail. There is the occasional culprit who sneaks through to my Inbox, but most wind up where they should. It's just the increase in volume to that Junk folder that has me concerned.
Additionally, if a non-Junk message gets erroneously tagged, I no longer have the option I once had to set the message as "This is not Junk". That used to appear as a graphic and button at the top of the message. It seems like I no longer have that capability.

Not downloading junk mail?

I am new to using a Macbook and I sent up the mail program to receive email from two different addresses: a gmail account which is setup as a Gmail POP account and an exchange account which is my college email address.
I have had no issues sending and receiving email, however, is there a way to make the mail program not download junk mail from the exchange account? The spam mail goes into a separate folder but I would prefer not to download any email from the server that goes into the folder. I tried looking through the options and haven't seen anything.
I hope someone can help!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
An Exchange account operates as an IMAP account more-or-less. In Mail, with IMAP accounts, folders cannot be selectively subscribed to. At the minimum the list of messages in each folder the server gives you access to will be synced to your computer, but you can set things so only the message index info is downloaded and not the message content (which is only downloaded as you click to read a certain message). But if you do that, you can only read when connected, and not when Offline.
You might ask the IT dept if the Junk folder could be setup to not be available, except via web access.

Possible for non-Mac users to save and send iPhoto Mail images?

Will non-Mac users be able to download and save images sent from iPhoto via Mail? Of course they can see the images, but will they be able to save, send, and print them? Thanks.

The answer to the question is Yes, but...
A lot of people have problems because they don't understand their own email clients. The one way that is pretty much guaranteed to work is to send +only plain text emails+. It's the most basic form of email and it works.

Lion Mail image persistence

I prefer not to automatically load images, to discourage spam.
So, when a message arrives, I click "Load Images", and they appear.
All good, so far.
But as soon as I move away from that message, the images disappear again.
This has only been happening since I upgraded to Lion.
In previous versions of Mail, images would persist once loaded.
Not a major issue, but annoying, and I can't see that anyone else has reported it.
Am I doing something wrong?
thanks,
Paul.
iMac 2011
OS X 10.7.2

They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply.

EXIF data is stripped when e-mailing images out of iPhoto '09

I teach photography classes as well as exchange a lot of photos with friends. Prior to installing iPhoto '09, my e-mailed images contained most of the important exposure info - f/stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc. Being able to discuss my images with friends and students has always been a great learning tool when we both could see the EXIF info.
When receiving images from a student with a brand new iMac, I noticed none of her images contained the EXIF info and we could not figure out why.
Last month, I installed iPhoto '09.
I realized today that iPhoto '09 is stripping all of the shooting info when you select the images in iPhoto and then click the "Mail" button. I did figure out 2 workarounds:
1. If you make your iPhoto and Mail windows fit on the screen at the same time and simply drag the images into a "New Message" window, the shooting info is retained.
2. If you open the Photo Browser window from within the "New Message" window, select your images and drag them into the body of the message, the shooting info is retained. You may need to use the dropdown "Size" button at the bottom right if the images exceed the max file size.
I have a hard time believing some iPhoto programmer made a conscious decision to change the handling of EXIF info when e-mailing out of iPhoto '09 and feel this is a classic case of deleting functionality by accident with a new release.
I also fear that fixing this will be far down the list of iPhoto '09 fixes...
My workarounds are just that. They are much slower than running iPhoto full screen and launching Mail.
Any thoughts from the experience forum users?

Bruce
I can confirm exactly what you say. Images that are emailed from within iPhoto have their basic Exif stripped. Images dragged to a Message Window from either the iPhoto Window or the Media browser in Mail have their Exif intact.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
And mark it a bug report.

What I notice in the original post is this error
ARP: address resolution for 10.0.0.2 timed out.
which says that the router is looking for the 10.0.0.2 server but not getting response to its arp request. Can the original poster clarify for us how the device that has the image file is connected to the router that has the problem? Also what kind of device is 10.0.0.2? Is it a PC running TFTP server software or is it something else?

What release level of code do you get when you download a disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product?

I’ve asked a similar question to this on an Office Community Forum but nobody knows the answer. So
I was hoping that an IT professional responsible for installing and deploying Office 2013 might know.
If you download an installation disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product from office.microsoft.com/myaccount (Account Options:
Install from a disc > I want to burn a disc), what release level of code do you get?
Now that Service Pack 1 is available, do you get a disk image with Service Pack 1 incorporated?
Or do you still get the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) level of code?

Diane, thank you for the reply.
I was hoping that someone who has downloaded a disk image since SP1 became available would be able to confirm that for a fact.
I have just found a good description of Click-to-Run on Technet that I didn't know existed. The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427(v=office.15)
The article states:
"Click-to-Run products that you download and install from Microsoft are up-to-date from the start. You won’t have to download and apply any updates or service packs immediately after you install the Office product."
This statement is probably true if you click the Install button on office.microsoft.com/myaccount and install "in real-time" over the Internet. However, I know for a fact that it is not true if you order a backup disk (Account
Options: Install from a disc > I want to purchase a disc). All you get is RTM level code (15.0.4420.1017).
So I still feel uneasy about what release level you get if you download a disk image. I don't want to download what might be the better part of 1GB of code over the Internet only to discover it is back level.
Addendum (6 April 2014): I decided to perform an experiment. I looked at the size of the data on my backup disk which contains RTM level code. It is 2.04GB. I then went to office.microsoft.com/myaccount and clicked to download a disk
image of my Office 2013 product. The pop-up window that asks me whether I want to Run or Save the file informed me that the size of the file is 2.04GB!!! I cancelled the download. I strongly suspect that, if I had continued with the
download, I would have received the same RTM level code I already have dating back to October 2012. I think this is awful customer service. To some extent, I can understand the logistical problems of replacing backup disks lying in warehouses
waiting to be shipped. But I cannot understand why disk images on download servers cannot be refreshed quickly.

Error message: CONNECTION FAILURE. DOWNLOADING FAILED. IMAGE CANNOT BE LOADED. PLEASE TRY AGA

I recently purchased Photoshop Touch for use on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I have uploaded files to Creative Cloud from CS5 version of Photoshop. I can view the file thumbnails on my tablet, but when I go to open them, I get the following error every time:

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to pull my hair out!! Thanks

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

Download/Display the image files stored at KM location: J2EE application

Hi All
Please let me know how to download/Display the image files stored at KM location on portal using J2EE application. Thanks.
Best Regards
P M

You can use a servlet to deliver the image data to the <img tag, which allows you to get the data from something other than a file on the server (e.g. store the image data as a session attribute with a generated attribute key, the key being given in the serlvet's query string).

Why cannot I open a downloaded set of images?

I cannot open a downloaded set of images at once using preview. OSX prompts "... is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" for the first image in the list that I haven't yet accepted to open, and stops there. When I quit preview and select the set of images and open them, the next image in the list asks for permission. This is a headache and I cannot keep doing this whole day, there are 100s of images in the list. What can I do?

Thank You to all who responded to my trouble I have solved this problem did the source code of the plugin and everything fell into place)))) Thanks again to all!!!

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion

How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion for clean boot installation.

When, and if, you can get Mountain Lioin to download, it will automatically try to install itself. If you want to create a bootable installation disk (disc), quit the installer. You'll have a file in your Applications folder a file named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app". Get yourself either a 8GB+ USB flash drive or use a dual-layer DVD and use Lion DiskMaker to create a bootable installation flash drive or DVD (the USB flash drive will be faster).
Don't know why you're having trouble with the download, though....
