Mail/Gmail/PDF attachments not shown in mail.

I currently use apple mail to access my gmail emails however every so often I notice that some of the emails that mail picks up from gmail do not contain attachments (.pdf) that are visible when I log into gmail. Any suggestions as to how I can make them appear in mail? It is often very irritating.
Mail version 3.5.

Hi,
Similar problem here with me.
Also this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1997630
Hopefully we can find a solution.
I've rebuilt mailboxes and re-added accounts to no avail.
Attachments are working fine in the web interface but when syched with IMAP to Mail - no worky.
I get a winmail.dat file instead.
Cheers

  • Why don't PDF attachments not visible in mail.

    Mail is not displaying PDF's that are attached in the body of the email.  We have been dragging and dropping pdf and jpeg images into emails for years. The images are visible
    in the anders email but not to the receiver.  What changed?  Why are they not visible. We shouldn't have to down load or use quick view to see them.  The image files are under 1 mb.

  • Problem with PDF attachments on Leopard's mail.

    I just found a bug or something in Leoprd's mail . When I try to send a mail with PDF attachments, mail just stuck, nothing happen. The fan start to spin and mail grab all of the processors power nearly 100 %. What's weird, there aren't problem with sending other attachment like JPG for example. I tested it on all of my accounts and on all of them, situation is exactly the same.

    The same problem here! Mail.app is behaving weirdly, but eventually it stopped sending e-mail with some filetypes attachments (.doc, .xls, .pdf not working, .jpg working), app just freezes - impossible to quit! HEEEELP!!!

    @ Philly
    Yes there is,
    When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

  • 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.

  • Mail PDF attachments not clear

    When I look through my Sent box the emails that have one page pdf attachments are so badly blurred (or not clear) that it is really difficult to read them.
    When I then open the attachment with Preview it's nice and sharp.
    This was not a problem before upgrading to SL.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I, too, have exactly the same issue.The pdfs were placed in the body of the e-mail and the recipient got blurred images. I switch to AOL, and both attachments opened up in excellent condition on the other end.
    I plan to send quite a few more in the future, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks.

  • HT1146 How do I print an email in Apple Mail without PDF attachments?

    I received an email with PDF attachments. I want to print just the email without the attachments but they automatically load in the print file EVER AFTER I've converted them to be viewed as icons in the message window.
    I searched online, call an Apple store and spoke to customer support who wanted to charge me a $19 fee for something possibly not even possible. In short, I haven't received a solution.
    Can anybody help me? Ready to download an alternate mail app.
    Thank you.

    Opening it won't do you any harm. Just don't click any of the links.

  • Attachments not received in Mail app

    I received a couple of email where the attachment is not received in the Mail app.  It doesn't show up anywhere. The attachment is received on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod with no problems.  Also, I have another message where the html images are not displayed on the mail app, but show up properly on my other devices.  I have the preference "display remote images in HTML messages" checked and I'm connected to the interent. 
    I'm using IMAP with my gmail account.  Ironically, both messages are from Apple, one has a receipt in it.  I've downloaded the receipt directly from gmail, but I'm worried that I'm going to miss something else if I don't fix this problem.
    Thanks for your help.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mail with PDF attachments bounce back??

    I often send time-sensitive PDFs that need to be reviewed quickly so it ***** to learn a couple of days later that the delivery failed! Is there a way that mail can inform that the email DID arrive successfully? Or is there a way to reduce the amount of times mail tries to send it before it notifies me it failed? Also, any ideas why these emails fail in the first place? They are not huge files!

    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.

  • 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.

  • Gmail folders do not update in Mail

    Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my Gmail folders do not update in the Mail app.  I don't have this problem with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 or iPad 3) both running the latest iOS version. Is there a work around.

    So i pretty much got ticked at my iphone. Not only was my "sent folder" not updating, the new 2.0 was crashing and hanging all my applications. e-mail photos wont send, got error messesges , at least every application crashed at some point in the last week, even after i did a restore and back-up. SO pretty much i restored to factory out of the box settings and just started as a "new iphone".
    as for the whole "sent folder" not updating. I changed the setting to download "Last 200" messeges. Then i kept updating until all 1,000 messeges were downloaded. After that point my iphone would update whenever i sent new messeges. But it would take forever cause it was checking against a 1,000 e-mails for new ones.... SO i give up, i just dumped all my "sent e-mails" to a new folder called "sent archives" ( u can call it whatever u want). I think this is the easiest fix for now.
    if i get any more issues.. i'm just gonna go restore my phone back to the software rev before 2.0 came out....

  • Mail.app 10.6.4 constantly polling Gmail (IMAP) but not fetching new mail

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.4, Mail.app has been having a problem with Gmail (IMAP).
    When I launch Mail.app it connects to Gmail without any problem and fetches any new mail. The next time it checks for mail on Gmail, the animated activity symbol appears next to my Gmail inbox and then stays there spinning constantly. Any new mail is not retrieved, and it will continue like this until I quit and restart Mail.app, in which case the cycle repeats - first fetch is ok, subsequently can't fetch mail.
    Have experienced this on both my Macs. Have tried disabling/re-enabling accounts, deleting & recreating, resetting passwords, but all to no avail. One glimmer of hope is that Gmail (IMAP) seems to work fine on my iPhone and iPad, so the problem seems to be in the version of Mail.app in Snow Leopard 10.6.4?

    oddly i fixed by deleting the account and creating it again.

  • I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail.  PDF attachments are included in the e-mail  as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon.  How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

    In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon.  How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

    For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
    For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader.  To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.
