Mail - Empty PDF Attachments when moved from 'Junk' (Hotmail)

Hi
I've been using Mail with Hotmail (IMAP) for some time; a recent update resolved the constant errors you'd get when deleting or moving emails between folders.
However, if I receive a PDF attachement from an unknown sender, this goes into Junk.. I then drag it to my Inbox. Occasionally (not consistently) this results in the PDF (when it finally gets round to resyncing the inbox) refusing to open with the message 'The file <name> could not be opened because it is empty'.
This is really inconvenient when you get tickets, policy docs etc from a new sender address and then you have to try and get whoever sent it to you to resend.
Once it has been moved it also appears empty on outlook.com and if you download it you get a zero-byte file.
This has only happened since the last update to mail - I'm now on Version 7.2 (1874).
Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks
Aaron

You're welcome.
It looks like you moved the missing messages into mailboxes stored on the server. Is that correct? Have you checked your .Mac account on the web to see whether they appear there? If they don't, I'm not positive that we'll be able to recover them.
It also looks like the junk filter isn't working very well in your case (too many false positives). Do the messages that Mail incorrectly treats as junk come from people in your Address Book or in your Previous Recipients list?
Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there's enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the entire "Mac-" account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. Do not trash any "POP-" account folders (if there were any), as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Post back with your observations.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

  • I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

    I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

    Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
    When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
    Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest. 
    You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
    So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.

    I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

  • Help! mail dissappears when switching from junk training to automatic mode

    I'm a new Mail user recently switched from 20 years of Eudora. I'm using Mail with a standard POP account. I've had no trouble setting up mailboxes and importing my old mail.
    I've been using junk filtering in training mode for the past few weeks and want to switch to automatic mode. When I tried doing this, all of my inbox messages suddenly disappeared. I quit mail and rebuilt my inbox and found myself with thousands of duplicated messages. I'm using Andreas Amann's remove duplicates script to clean up my inbox (it's taking forever but working!)
    My inbox has about 7000 messages currently. My practice with Eudora has always been to keep the current year in the inbox and archive at the beginning of the new year. I'd like to continue this with Mail.
    A couple questions:
    1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates? When should one use rebuild?
    2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing when switching from training mode to automatic?
    3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
    Any help much appreciated. Many thanks!

    1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates?
    No.
    When should one use rebuild?
    This question doesn’t have a simple answer in the case of Mail 2.x and POP accounts.
    2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing
    when switching from training mode to automatic?
    I think so.
    3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
    There is a limit on the overall size of individual mailboxes rather than on the number of messages stored in them -- see Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.

  • Help! Trying to print emails w/PDF attachments via bluetooth from 8300 to HP OfficeJet8470

    Trying to print emails w/PDF attachments via bluetooth from 8300 to HP OfficeJet8470.
    My boss shopped for and picked this phone based on the store staff.  He wants to be able to have our service tech be able to receive work orders via email, in the form of a pdf attachment, and be able to print using the bluetooth enabled HP Office Jet 8470, hardware that was sold to him in another store with the statements that it would work with his application.
    Everything I have seen on this site, and the lack of information elsewhere, leads me to question if we have the correct applications/hardware at all...
    If so, I need to be able to explain clearly to my boss any options that we have, and why or why not it won't work. 
    Any ideas at all?  Thanks in advance~    Reagan

    Your BlackBerry alone won't connect to a Bluetooth printer. Whoever told him that it would should be questioned.
    However, there is an application called BeamSuite, that offers a printing solution specifically for PDF documens that you should explore...
    Print Documents to a Bluetooth Enabled Printer 
    http://www.slgmobile.com/beamsuite.html
    BeamSuite is much more than a document viewer though. You can also print your documents directly from your BlackBerry to any Bluetooth enabled printer. Simply pair your BlackBerry device with the printer and print your documents.
    If your printer is not Bluetooth enabled, you can still print your documents to it by connecting a Bluetooth printer adapter to your printer that connects to the printer’s USB port. A key differentiator of our solution is that it allows you to easily and transparently print to over 1500 compatible printers from virtually any BlackBerry device, not just the latest and the most powerful BlackBerry.

  • Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

    Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
    Hi,
    I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
    When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
    Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • When moving from a list of threads view to a thread would be nice to jump to last thread read.

    When moving from a list of threads being viewed to a thread, it would be nice to jump to last thread read or first unread thread.
    Sometimes the threads get rather long.  Sometimes I haven't read a thread in awhile & I forget where I have left off reading a thread. It would be nice to have an icon to click on to move to your last read post or the first non-read post. 
    Seems this could be implemented in javascript without too much problem.  Might be a problem of when to get rid of the tracking data.
    Robert

    This would be a new capability.   I didn't know you could jump directly to the last post in a thread by clicking on the posters name in your discussions.  However, I am interested in jumping to the first post that I haven't read.
    Since writing my original post, I realize that software doesn't know what posts I have read. Lets say there are are 26 posts in a thread.  Lets assume these are divided into three pages with at most 10 items in a page:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z
    The software know that I have viewed the first three pages.  It doesn't know what post on the pages I have read.  The software would need to assume I have read all the available posts on a page.
    Now lets assume that 12 more post were added.  This results in:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z, aa,bb,cc,dd
    page 4 -- ee,ff,gg,hh,ii,jj,kk,ll
    It would be nice if I could go to aa. 
    Jumping to the last post in the thread doesn't hack it. You have to spend a lot of time finding where you left off your reading.
    Intesting, the list of your posts on your homepage usings the term Last Activity were as Your Discussions uses the term Last Post. The terminalogy should be the same & should act the same.  For the existing capability of going the the last post, I was thinking of Goto Last Post.

  • Performance issue when moving from 4.6c to 6.0

    Looks like we took a performance hit when moving from 4.6c to 6.0 on the same hardware. 
    For example, our PGI on outbound deliveries now takes several seconds longer in 6.0 then it did in 4.6c.  We've noticed other SAP area's are taking longer as well.  With an ST05 sql trace on the PGI in 6.0, we see more tables being accessed, same tables being access differently taking longer.  All leading to more time to do a PGI in 6.0.
    Has anyone else noticed this increase in Response time when upgrading to 6.0 ?   
    Thanks,
    David

    Hello.
    Yes, in our system we noticed the same thing at start. The general performance seemed to get worse after upgrading. In fact, database became bigger and more memory is consumed. However, it was tuned up by our system administrator and now seems ok.
    Run the optimizer statistics and see if it get's better.

  • Mail with PDF attachments sent, not stored in Sent

    IMAP account, Sent folder configured to point to server's sent mail folder. "Windows friendly attachments" selected.
    If I send a message with multiple PDF attachments, the message will be received, but it won't be written to the Sent folder.
    I can't afford to lose the archive copy of these messages, so I have adopted the habit of bcc'ing myself, but it's a drag.
    Any thoughts?

    I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce. Hence the delay.

  • Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

    Issue:
    We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
    I can send a sample of the report.
    Error Dialog:
    Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
    Error Details:

    Yes/No
    Our Configuration:
    We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
    The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:

    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
    Observation:
    When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
    Question:
    What do we need to do to correct this situation?
    *why the reports with*
    *prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
    *environment.  I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
    *because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
    *merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
    Please help.

    We have JDK 1.6 installed.  The License Merge Module is not related to
    this issue.
    The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
    Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting  are not being installed.
    If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
    One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
    there rather than just an empty folder structure.
    I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
    They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
    (Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
    I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
    I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
    Was:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
    your hot fixes)
    Now:
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
    *CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
    I will try to put a installer together with these.  If this work there
    will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
    the new one.

  • Remove copy from server 'when moved from inbox' option for POP accounts

    Is this option supposed to work in all cases? (or could it be buggy?:-)
    I can't get it to work with my POP account: messages are still left on the POP server, even after when they are moved from the inbox to another local mailbox on my Mac...
    Manual selective removal of messages from the server does work (thru the 'Get info' window of the 'Gear' menu at bottom of Mailboxes pane), so this does seem to be a problem with the POP server.
    Or do I by any chance misinterpret the meaning of this option?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Mail version 2.1 (752/752.2)

    You've interpreted correctly how it should work, as long as you take the following considerations into account:
    1. Messages aren't supposed to be removed from the server immediately, but rather the next time Mail connects to the POP server.
    2. It may have no effect on messages that had already been downloaded prior to you choosing that option.
    And, yes, it sometimes doesn't work as expected. It could be buggy or Mail might have problems communicating with the server.

  • Flex app doesn't work when moved from original location

    I'm trying to make an image gallery in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. The html and swf files from the bin-debug folder work perfectly fine when opened in any browser also, but ONLY when those files and all related files are opened from the default location that the application was built in. When I export a build to a different folder, the swf loads but none of the information from the xml file displays. I tried setting all of the paths of the reference files (namely the xml) in the flex app to the exact absolute location on the server, and it still didn't work when I uploaded it to the server.
    I've tried several approaches starting from scratch and they have all come up with the same issue. I'm working with an educational license for Flex Builder, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.
    Please help! I'm losing my mind over this.I think it has to do with something else besides the code since it works fine when I hit "Run", but if anyone thinks it will help to post the code let me know.

    when you build an application using one of the wizards (like coldfusion flex application wizard) it hard codes
    paths to cold fusion CFC's, and sometimes gets it wrong.
    If your application references cfc's (or other remote objects) then it may be necessary to adjust the flex code
    when moving the code into a different base folder.
    For example in my own application, the url is http://localhost/crm_dev_flex and the built application gets put into
    c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug
    References in the code to components found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug\components\cfgenerated
    (in the flex code these looks like crm_dev_flex.bin-debug.components.cfgenerated.<mycomponent> )
    These need to change when you move the code to somewhere else.
    Also, if you are using wizard generated cfc's then these also contain similar references that need to be changed.
    IHTH.
    Cheers
