Mail not showing attachments

This problem seems to be documented here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1526523?start=0&tstart=0
but not resolved.
In Mail 4.5, I randomly fail to get attachments from senders.  Today I had it happen again multiple times from a sender; no attachment but a flag at the bottom of the mail about "missing plug-in."
Headers show this:
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Internal
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthMechanism: 04
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthSource: MSPMAILHUB2.int.capella.lan
X-MS-Has-Attach: yes

MIME-Version: 1.0
command-Y and the "Quick Look" button both gave a glimpse of an .xlsx file but no file could be seen attached to the message.

Hello aehrenr:
I got here by destiny. After many days looking for a problem in Mail I just found the solution.
My Mail program started developing the following problem progresively. All attachements stop showing as they usually do. In the case of a jpeg picture, I could see the image. In case of a folder, I could see the folder. This is the default way, I believe and the one I've always used since I moved to Mac.
This happenned in all trays or boxes. Very annoying. Besides, many recipients had problems too seeing my attachments. I had to explain they were in the mail but hidden somehow. They had to llok for them.
Luckily I found this thread. I typed in terminal as you said. Instantly all my attachements became visual again.
It seems you suggested this solution for other kind pf problem but it solved mine.
My system is an 27" iMac running 10.6.8 and Mail 4.6
Thanks you so much for this.
Eduardo

  • Mail not showing attachments in my Sent Mail list

    I have the paperclip icon in my menu bar so I can easily see emails with attachments but in Lion they are not showing at all. Old mails BEFORE I upgraded to Lion show attachments. Has anyone sorted this issue?

    Have found a solution that works: see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308790?start=0&tstart=0

    OK, I have no idea why, but the following worked.
    I created a rule in the Preferences pane:
    CONDITIONS
         sender is me
         attachment contains "." (every file does)
    RULE
         set color to (anything)
    The rule worked.
    Furthermore, the paperclips appeared!!!

  • Mail not showing attachments icon after 10.5.3

    Another trouble for Mail and attachements : in the list pane, although I have set the column to see if there are attached files (paperclip icon), since 10.5.3, these attachments don't show up in every case.
    Quite strange, a message with 5 attached picts didn't show any icon, but another message from the same user with 23 attached picts did show the paperclip icon.
    Anyone reporting the same trouble ?

    I have a similar issue - but with a twist. My list of emails shows that a received email has an attachment (the paperclip icon in the attachments column) but there is no attachment. There is no save option or Quick Look option under the header. Why would the list indicate an attachment exists where none exists?

  • Prevent Mail from showing Attachments inline

    Hi there, does somebody know how to prevent Mail to show attachments inline ?
    Thanks for your help.
    regards,
    kd

    Sometimes zipping is not an optimal solution, such as when sending to a non computer savvy recipient who may not understand zip files. Is there no way to make sure that an attached image will show as an attachment to the recipient (and therefore by easy to download from the email)? Thanks.

  • Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3

    Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3, but messages show just fine on iPhone. Nothing changed to make this happen, not sure where to start. Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Select the problem mailbox in the mailbox list, then select
    Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
    from the menu bar.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    Hi
    Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    After the migration I started having problems with all NON Apple things.
    Now, as of July, 6th this is my situation:
    Lion devices and iOS5 devices (MacBook, MacPro, iPhone 4s and iPad I) - fine
    have a look here for info:
    AUTOMATIC SETUP FOR APPLE MAIL ON LION MACS
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Snow Leopard - set up after some trouble using these instructions:
    OLDER SERVER FOR APPLE MAIL ON PRE OS 10.7 MACS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330
    Non Apple clients should work with these instructions but I still cannot get MailForge to work:
    SERVERS FOR GENERIC EMAIL CLIENTS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    MOBILE NON APPLE STUFF
    With my HP (Palm) Pre 3 I am still figuring out why every single day they change the servers:
    this however might help you as the Palm is more similar to the BB than the iPhone:
    PALM PRE 3 SETTINGS: I also have updated the password on iCloud, deleted the old iCloud account on the Pre, created a new one. Please note that it now sends using the older server, I do not know for how long.

  • Upgraded to Lion and now Mail does not show attachments in the Send Box (for new messages only).

    After upgrading to Lion and switching Mail to the classic mode, I can no longer see if messages have attachment in my Send Box. However, I can go into the message and see the attachment.
    Strangely, all my messages prior to the upgrade show their attachments.
    I've looked through the preferences and don't see a swith for this.
    Any suggestions. Thanks.
    Blair

    Walter, thank you for the suggestion.
    Perhaps I am not explainging myself very well.
    In the Send Box new messages do not show the clip in the Attachments column. The image below is of two messaegs, both of which have an attachment, yet no clip is shown (this is also true of the Draft Box).
    In all other boxes, an attachment is shown with a clip (see below).
    I need the clips to be shown in all mail boxes.
    Thanks.
    Cheers, Blair

  • Missed ANOTHER appointment - Invites received in Mail not showing in iCal

    I missed an appointment this morning, and it's because of a bug in Mail/iCal.
    This is how it's supposed to work:
    - iCal collects invitations from Mail.
    - The invites show up in the notifications area and also show up in "gray" in the calendar pane.
    - You can Accept/Decline within the notifications area or by double-clicking the gray appointment.
    Unfortunately this is NOT working for me. It used to work beautifully. Then I started missing occasional invitations. Now it seems rare that it works.
    Note: I have a very large mailbox, and a lot of the missed invitations are being sent from Outlook. However many missed appointments are also being sent from another iCal user.
    I've seen this issue reported elsewhere, but without resolution:
    (related but not the same): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11583205&#11583205
    (identical issue, posted 09/2009, a re-post from 8 months earlier):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9935599&tstart=0
    When is apple going to fix this? I run my business on this platform and just spent an hour figuring out how I missed an important meeting. I dug through the forums, found the above unanswered issues, and now I'm posting this detailed message in hopes that it will be fixed.

    Unfortunately, .ics files, which is how iCal invites are sent +as attachments+, are not recognized by the Mail app on the iPhone. Only Apple can alter that.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
    Note that the New Invitation Alerts setting on the iPhone applies to calendar invites sent via MobileMe or MS Exchange (those are true calendar invites, not email attachments).

  • Mail not open attachments

    Hello,
    I don't understand why but I can't open Mail attachments in emails that I receive. Mail indicates the presence of an attachment (doc, docx, pdf, ...), I tap for download and once completed it I tap again but not opened.
    I do not understand.

    I made a mistake and had the account set to IMAP. Change the setting to POP3 and it works.Anyway this brings me to one conclusion: Mail attachments in IOS5 not show correctly in IMAP accounts.

  • Mail not showing accounts after ios 7 update on iPhone 5

    After the ios 7 update to my iPhone 5 mail does not show my accounts. Specifically there is nothing below the word Accounts. The rest is working fine and still connected to my three accounts. However it no longer shows accounts.

    thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works.  i did all the steps but no luck.
    So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net. 
    With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera,  they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money.  im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
    anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware.  i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release.  not overly impressed with the whole process.
    i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2.  anyway will update if i get any further progress.

  • Unread and read mail not showing in Mail after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    In the Mail app, mail is not showing up properly. I have unread mail, which is not showing up, despite me refreshing or sorting by unread first, and even an email I read this morning on Chrome isn't showing up, as you can see by screenshots.
    How do I fix this issue?

    Hi,
    In Mail > Mailbox dropdown menu, try clicking on Rebuild at the bottom.

  • E-MAILS NOT SHOWING UP

    I had the same issue with the original iPhone (I now have the 3GS). I can be sitting at my computer and receive an e-mail on my PC, however, when I manually (I have Fetch turned-off) attempt to check for mail, it does not show up on my iPhone. Also, sometimes I may receive three or more e-mails (at one time) on my PC, and maybe one or two (but not all) show up on my iPhone. Is this normal? Lastly, I can send myself an e-mail from my PC or iPhone and receive it on my iPhone within seconds.

    How do you get a Yahoo account to even push.
    I do not think that you can get it to push.
    You need another services like ActiveSync with and Exchange server or MobileMe for the push function to work.
    So you need not even turn on push and just set the Fetch frequency to your desired interval or just manualy fetch them.
    How do you connect to your Yahoo account?
    i.e. POP3 or HTTP?
    Either one will not push.
    Here are the features with MobileMe. This will explain it all.
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/
    If you want MobileME you need to purchase this for $99 annually.
    Since Yahoo is a free account is your e-mail that important that you need it pushed to you? Most likely not if you are just using a free Yahoo account. So I think that set frequency to a desired interval or just open your e-mail and force a fetch is the right option.

  • SMTP sent mail not showing up in sent mail folder

    Hello,
    Setup:
    Exchange 2010 SP1
    Outlook 2010
    C# for sending mail, or Pentaho Kettle
    Not really sure how to explain, but I have the following scenario:
    Automatic programs send email using credentials (an active username / password on the domain. account linked to a mail box).
    Mail gets sent.
    Mail does not show up in the sent mail folder of the account
    I was wondering if there was a parameter on the Exchange server to configure so that the email sent via SMTP would show up in the sent mail box of the account.

  • E-mail addresses in Apple Mail not showing up in Apple Contacts (iCloud All Contacts)

    I've been going though my contacts in the Apple Contacts app, which I have set up to use iCloud, deleting old contacts and cleaning up messy ones. And I've noticed there are a lot of e-mail addresses that I have in Apple Mail - I just start to type a few letters in the To: field and they come up - that are nowhere to be seen in the Contacts app.
    Shouldn't these be in my Contacts app? Where else would these contacts be stored? And is there a way to sync them into my iCloud All Contacts or do I have to manually track each one down and add it in the Contacts app?
    Quick edit to add: I've also now noticed that the same applies on my iPhone. E-mail addresses appear in iOS Mail that are not in my iOS Contacts app (I've performed a search to be doubly sure). Where do these contacts live and why are they not in my Contacts apps?

    I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
    Not murky at all:
    And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
    I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.
