Mail locks up when recieving .eps attachment, anyone help?

When I recieve an email that has an .eps attachment my Mail application locks up. This doesn't happen when I recieve any other attached file formats.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a way around it without reinstalling my software?
Cheers

Hello Mick.
Re-installing the Mail.app rarely resolves any problems experienced with the application.
Does this occur during the process of downloading a message with an .eps attachment or does it occur when selecting or opening the message after it has been downloaded?
If the latter, take a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

Mail locks up when receiving

Mail locks up when I recieve mail in the mornings. I will be going along check emails fine, then all of a sudden I get the spinning beach ball! Then I have to do a force quit and restart mail. When mail comes back up, I just start where I left off and continue with no problems. It does not matter if there are attachments or not! Is there something that I can do?

Should I rebuild the mail boxes or something like that?
Rebuilding an IMAP mailbox is safe, so you may try that if you wish. I don't think that's the problem, though.
If you receive so much spam, you may want to read the following articles, which are applicable to any mail account (not just .Mac), and any mail client (not just Mail):

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Hi lorifromtn,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest following steps below to verify the iOS, close the app, and restart the iPhone:

You may want to try a different email message to see if the issue was with a particular link.

HT5312 I follow the steps to the manage my account page, then I get to my security questions and it doesn't give the option to send an e-mail to my rescue address. Can anyone help?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

We had broadband with BT and I had no problem sending e-mails. We then changed to TalkTalk and I cannot send any e-mails and do not understand why. can anyone help? We are not techy at all and struggle when things go wrong.

We used to have BT as our broadband provider and then switched to Talk Talk. Since the switch we cannot send e mails although we are receiving them on the old address. We don't understand what has gone wrong. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Ellie

You need to contact T-T and find out their SMTP settings ( which allows the sending of emails over wifi via your ISP) This info is probably on their website
I assume you do not have a 3G iPad .In which case go to the Apple site

where you should find very clear guidance on most issues

Hello:
AOL (like other Mail providers) occasionally has server problems (I use AOL mail and it happens to me once in awhile).
However, if it does not clear up after a bit, open Mail. Click on Window>connection doctor. There should be indications of what is wrong.

How much memory do you have installed, and what operating system are you running?

I need the settings for a mail provider, fsmail, to add the mail to my iPhone 6. Can anyone help ? I have tried contacting the provider, which is EE, but they are impossible to get anything out of.

I have an old female.net account, which I want to manually add to my iPhone. However I can't find all the necessary settings to be able to do so. Can anyone help ? the provider, EE, has proved impossible to get anything from.

Well, in that case, you need to log into your account at female.net and get the mail setting from there.
Mail accounts have nothing to do with your carrier - they just provide your phone connection, so it's not really surprising that EE were not helpful, because this e-mail account has nothing to do with them.
Go to female-net and get the mail setting from there because the account is with them.

I am new to itunes. I have an itunes password. I want to download a game to my iphone but seem to be unable to be able to connect to itunes when downloading. Can anyone help?

I am new to itunes. I have an itunes password/account but cannot download anything to my computer or phone from the appstore! Can anyone help?

iTunes does not support drag and drop for iOS devices.
Connect either the iPod or iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Select the iPod (iPad) under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Select Books from the menu.
Then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
You can select All Books or Selected Books.

Mail locks up when trying to make attachment

I'm having a problem with Mail . . Whenever I click the Attachment button to make an attachment, the application locks up . . Any clue?? This has never happened before, and I've had this computer for nearly 3 years now . .

In the few cases where someone has reported this problem, the users that experienced it didn't provide enough information to properly identify it, so we still don't know what the cause really is.
This could be a Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for doing this probably would be Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
7. If the problem persists, try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.

Mail App Hangs when trying to attach images

My Mail App (Leopard) keeps hanging (spinning ball) forcing me to force quit whenever I try to attach an image from my Images folder, if I do it through iPhoto it's fine but trying to attach manually it hangs everytime.
Anyone else experiencing this?

My Mail App (Leopard) hangs when I try to send eMail from iPhoto 5.0.4. I select the images I want in iPhoto then click eMail and Leopard Mail opens a new message then I get the rainbow of death and the image is never pulled in... Mail hangs until I force quit

Mail shuts down when adding an attachment

Afteer upgrading to Maveric I do have the following issue. When I open Mail and write an E-Mail and then add an attachment (no matter what file type). Mail shuts immediately down. When opening Mail again, luckily the written E-Mail is still there, but still no attachment is attached. Currently I do send plenty of dropbox links instead as this can be added without any problems. Is there a way to fix this issue?
At least I know see the file preview in Mail again. Which wasn't possible for years with lion :-)

That happens to me all the tiem. I don't try anymore because I guess Mail just doesn't take large files like that. You should try sending it from your email provider on it's website, as you would without Mail or Outlook Express.
