Mail not loading email with attachment
I work with many computers running OS X 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6. One of them loads most plain text emails just fine, but when I try to load a message with a reasonable (1MB) attachment, it shows "Loading" (with a spinning logo) but does not load the message. I've left this process running for over an hour, but it does not seem to get anywhere. I checked the activity window during this loading screen and something appears quickly immediately after I click on the message, but then it is empty.
It is not a server issue or an issue with the settings, as tens of other computers with identical settings and on the same servers perform perfectly, and are able to download much larger attachments and emails.
Additional Info: I have tried rebuilding the mailbox and having Mail generate a new Envelope Index file, but the problem persists.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Again,
The index probably needs to be repaired again. Try again removing the Envelope Index to force reindexing of all mailboxes, but again read:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
With IMAP or Exchange accounts, note their special treatment requiring removal of the account folders. Have you ever removed the Envelope Index without removing the account folders, by any chance?
After you do this, you should again test.

XI Mail Adapter: sending emails with attachment with help of java mapping
Hi ,
On trying out the scenerio mentioned in the blog, using the java mapping provided
"XI Mail Adapter: An approach for sending emails with attachment with help of Java mapping
The scenerio works just fine.
But the payload as the content of the attachment is not getting generated in proper XML format.
I suppose it's because of the replace special characters code part..
Can anyone help me state the modification required in the code.
Thanks!
Regards,
Faria MithaniIt might be a codepage issue. Is your original payload UTF-8?

Mail not showing emails with attachments
Mail doesn't show/download emails with pdf attachments, although I can see the emails and attachments on my iphone no problem. The whole email is missing, not just the attachment.
Please help as this means I sometimes miss important emails, and well as the inconvenience of only being able to access the email and attachment from my phonePlease follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below 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.
Quit and relaunch 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 not receiving emails with attachments
Hi
I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
Thanks for your continued assistance. -

I am Lion on Mac Book pro.
When I move a mail with attachement to a folder, sometimes, it loses its mime-type and becomes a text formatted message. Hence the contents of the attachments are added as text to the mail and I cannot download the attachments then.
This does not happen always, but almost 3/10 times.
Thanks.
Regards,
VirajWhat type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Turn OFF all the port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Open Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid and verify/repair the keychain.
Try also turning OFF the Search For Certificates options in Keychain Access > Preferences if any of them is ON — take a look at the following articles for more information on this particular issue:

Mail not sending email with digital signature
Hello helpers,
What's the deal with Mail and digital signatures? I could never get the application to work with my Versign class 1 digital signature in Tiger and now in Leopard. Keep getting error 1035. That's what led mr to Thunderbird and I got Leopard hoping to resolve this issue. Keychain seems as if it's a weirdo in its simplicity and where I believe the problem lies. my digital certificate resides on the system but is not in the my certificate category. However, when I select it in system, afterwards it shows up in my certificate category. If I close Keychain and reopen it, my certificate is empty.
I like Mail. However, it's important to me to use my digital certificate in signing my email. I believe I must have done something wrong in the installation of the certificate and I can't imaging what. Why can't Mail accept digital certificate directly like other email application rather than go through a third party...Keychain. Mail help did not help. Any workable solution would be appreciated. Thanks

Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment
os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem.

I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking

Symantec Mail Security with Exchange 2007 (Emails with Attachment missing)
HI, i need help here
I have Win 2008 with Exchange 2007 and Symantec Mail Security. Symantec was working fine until the license expired but it was still fine until yesterday, we realize that we cannot receive email with attachment. after stopping the symantec services, mail
flow went back to normal. We then remove the program from the control panel.
Then i found that i cant retrieve or find those emails that was sent to us during a period of ard 6 hours. i tried looking the the Symantec quarantine folder but it is not there.
Can someone point to me where should i look for the missing mails? When i do a mail flow troubleshoot i can see the logs that it is sent to the mailbox, but from users's outlook inbox, there is no email ??
Much AppreciatedSymantec's support group should be able to tell you what happened.

Friends on Android galaxy do not receive my emails with attached photos sent from my iPhone. Why
I have an iPhone 4 running 6.1 OS. Several times I have taken photos with my iPhone and then tried to email them from my iPhone to friends using Android Galaxy. They never receive the emails. When I select the photo to be emailed from "Camera Roll", several options appear (Mail, Message, Photo Stream, Twitter, Facebook etc). I select "Mail", then select an email address from my contact list, add some text to the message, select the size of photo and send. The email with attached photo is never received. Any idea why?
Well, your response about MMS is beyond my understanding unfortunately. Don't understand too well this issue of MMS and IMessage. I checked my settings and "Send as MMS" was OFF. I have turned it ON and tried to re-send the photos. No word yet if it was received.. Also, the "send and receive" addresses in the "Messages" setting only included my "@me" email address, and not my Yahoo address, which I am trying to add. It doesn't seem to be able to complete the verification process for that Yahoo address (it remains in a perpetual state of "verifying"), although it did add an "icloud" address, and my cell phone number. I have my "cellular data" turned OFF because I am in the States (I am Canadaian) and wish to restrict roaming charges. So are you saying that I cannot send photo attachments in emails from my iPhone, while connected to the in-house internet modem/router - ie., that I can do so only if my "cellular data" setting is ON? Then why do the messages still appear in the SENT folder? Do the settings on the recipient phone have an impact? It doesn't seem so because they were able to receive the messages from the PC/Hotmail source.

New email with attachment filename as Mail Subject
Does anyone know how to make an OSX Service, much like "New Email with Attachment" where the attachment's filename is automatically copied into the subject field of the email?
Can this be done in Automator, or does a script have to be written from scratch?
Thanks in advanceAs I said, it is now under Share>Email.
Also, you can do the same thing just dragging an item to the Mail icon in the dock. -

Hi All
We are successfully able to send email with attachment on sql prompt. The problem is when we are trying to send the attachment through Application Express after submit process its showing the attached file but without its content.
We hav created two such processes. Process one attachs the file as below
declare
file_id number;
begin
delete from dumy_file;
select nvl(max(id),0)+1 into file_id from dumy_file;
insert into dumy_file(id,name,file_obj_id,mime_type,blob_content)
select file_id, filename, id ,mime_type,blob_content
from htmldb_application_files where name = :P2_FILE;
:P2_X := file_id;
end;
And process two send the email with attachment:
declare
file_name varchar2(100);
mim_typ varchar2(50);
begin
select name into file_name from dumy_file where id = :P2_X;
select MIME_TYPE into mim_typ from dumy_file where id = :P2_X;
email_files(from_name => 'Aashu' ,
to_names => :P2_EMAIL,
subject => 'A test from APEX',
message => 'A test message from APEX',
html_message => 'A test message from APEX',
filename1 => file_name,
filetype1 => mim_typ);
end;
Here dumy_file is a custom table.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

rem HOWEVER, if you are using this to send e-mail's with attached files (or
rem reading the message text or message html from a file) from a trigger or
rem from some other SQL that you can't or don't want to have a commit done,
rem you will first need to create an Oracle directory entry for the directory
rem containing the attached files and grant read access to it to public, such
rem as:
rem create directory CESDIR_COMMON as '/home/common';
rem grant read on directory CESDIR_COMMON to public;
rem
rem You may also want to create a public synonym for this procedure, from the
rem procedure's owner:
rem create or replace public synonym email_files for email_files;
rem grant execute on email_files to public;
rem
rem FYI: I tried using the utl_file package to read binary files:
rem utl_file.get_raw(v_file_handle,data,57);
rem but got "ORA-29284: file read error" on .pdf files, so, I switched to use
rem the dbms_lob package to read binary files:
rem dbms_lob.read(v_bfile_handle,read_bytes,v_pos,data);

rem Updates:
rem 1/31/05 - Fixed for triggers and other SQL that can't have a commit by
rem checking for and using already-defined Oracle directories ("create
rem directory" is a DDL statement that does a commit).
rem 9/23/05 - Put exception handler in to handle the SMTP server being
rem down or unavailable. (Solution from Ed Siegle at Swarthmore.)
rem 7/14/06 - Additional changes to detect and handle Windows/DOS file names
rem (second and third characters ':\' for paths with drive letters, or
rem first and second characters '\\' for UNC paths).
rem 8/25/06 - Some SMTP interfaces may require angle brackets (<>) around the
rem e-mail addresses, so, add them before returning results from get_address.
rem Also, they may not attach the host if relayed through a non-localhost,
rem so, attach the mail domain part (last two components) of the relay host
rem to the address if the mail domain is not specified in the address.
