Mail only downloads headers of emails with large attachments

Hi-
I have Maverick.
My mail is delivered though an Exchange Server.
At present emails download fine UNLESS they have a large attachment.
If they have a large attachment, the email will appear in the central "preview" pane with the address of the sender and the subject line, but will otherwise not download.
The email will only start to download once I click on the email in the preview pane. This can be laborious if I have 50+ emails with large attachments.
How do I configure mail so that it will download the emails, irrespective of the size of the attachments.
Thanks,
Richard

Some problems with Exchange mail have been solved by disabling Autodiscovery.

  • Emails with large attachments failing to download.

    I have a problem downloading emails with large attachments (6500KB plus) in Incredimail which I believe is a McAfee NetProtect Plus conflict. When downloading Incredimail shows "RECEIVING", number of emails and the percentage downloaded. With large files it will hang flashing RECEIVING but not increasing the percentage. Task manager shows Incredimail using lots of CPU and also McAfee coming in and out but no traffic on the network.
    The only way to stop this is to cancel receiving and try again. Sometimes this clears it, after two or three attempts. Sometime I have to log onto BT Yahoo mail and delete the large attachment. A side result is that I get emails duplicated because they are still on the host when I cancel and are thus downloaded again. If I boot in safe mode and just start Incredimail then everything downloads in seconds, so I am convinced that it is McAfee scanning that is causing the problem.
    Any suggestions please?

    You are not alone experiencing problems downloading attachments to MS Outlook etc see:-
    Problem with large email downloads in Outlook Expr... 
    I have just been told by the helpdesk there is a 10MB limit, so you should not have a problem.
    Duplicate e-mails are due to session not completing. I have had this problem as well.

  • Can't delete email with large attachments

    Received two email with large attachments (photos in format that iphone doesn't recognize). Now can't delete or move to trash these two email. They just return to inbox and mail freezes, goes black, or returns to home screen. Clearing out all other mail in trash doesn't help. Reset doesn't help. I can still receive new email to my inbox and delete those just fine, but these two large email with attachments are stuck in my inbox.

    Well, I have the same problem. I tried to delete the specific account and redo it - but the ** email was still there. I've gone to the webmail site for the account, and deleted it there. It's deleted from my laptop, but keeps coming back on my iPhone. So, my iPhone is set to show 25 emails, but I don't understand what you mean by "send yourself 25 messages". Sounds like your solution works, and I'd sure like to try it. Looks like Apple needs to come up with an easier solution too. Thanks.

  • Emails with large attachments not arriving

    We have an open limit on email size but consistently emails with large attachments do not arrive at the destination (even to the same domain). They do go into the clients sent box. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot? thanks

    For gigabyte-class file transfers, you'll really want to use a different path — that message size is easily approaching a denial-of-service scale message size, if not exceeded it.
    If you really want to try doing attachments of that size and all the intervening SMTP servers support it, then try setting the message size manually via something like the (untested) following commands:
    sudo postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix  message_size_limit  -e  "message_size_limit = 10485760"
    sudo postfix reload
    Or to whatever specific attachment size you want to try to use.  The unit is in bytes.
    The other Postfix setting that tends to get involved here is mailbox_size_limit, as well as whatever quotes might be in use for the specific users.

  • Emails with large attachments vanishing

    When I send an email with a large attachment it is not saved in the sent folder. All other emails are saved in the sent folder. The emails are received by the recipients. What is the problem and what is the solution?

    The last time this happened the attachment in question was only 8.7 MB, well below the max of 20, and like I said it was received.  If I had tried to send an attachment that was larger than the limit it would not have gone through.
    I can't say that it only happens with larger attachments as some of my larger attachments have gone through.  In my case it may be a coincidence that I have only noticed this on larger attachments.
    Other people are having similar problems:
    Re: Sent mail disappearing?
    How do I get Apple to support the service that I am paying for?  A message board is a terrible way to address problems.  Maybe with a better system of monitoring problems, say a phone number to call for help with such issues, and Apple could hear about problems before they read about them in the press.
    I need a record of all sent emails.

  • Exchange 2013 External Incoming Emails With Large Attachments Disappearing No NDR

    I have a problem I am running Exchange 2013 recently upgraded to service pack one hoping to fix the problem no luck changed the ConnectionTimeouts on the recieve connectors no luck, diasabled certain commands chunking and BinaryMime no luck I can recieve
    large attachements internally and send to external users but no user is able to recieve emails with attachments bigger than 1 MB all formats doc,xlsx,pdf etc and there is no NDR the attachment is either stripped or the email disappears into thin air literary.
    I am about to lose my mind over this. This started a month ago howcan I test at what point between the sender and myself the emails are being filtered all other emails come through as long as the attachments are less than 1 MB.

    Hi Bright,
    Agree with Ed, you should check if there is anything between the internet and your exchange server.
    If there is any update , please post here.

  • Z10 issue forwarding emails with large attachments

    I am having an issue with my Z10 on Rogers running 10.0.10.85 version of the o/s using Exchange/ActiveSync.
    I am unable to forward emails with attachments greater than about 300kb from my Z10, The emails just stay stuck in the inbox with the "sending" logo and they never send.
    I really need to resolve this and our IT team is stumped? Has anyone else seen this? Any resolution?

    Send this to your IT team and see if it helps. Within 3 minutes of making the changes all was fixed, that is of course if it's the same issue.

  • How can I visualise Emails with large attachments?

    Background: Working in corporate environment with Exchange with Mailbox limits.
    From time to time I'm running out of quota, then I need to move Mails locally (by Smart Mailbox) or delete them.
    Insted of doing this reactive I would love to see Emails marked in color (rules?) so I can take care of them while I read them so I don't need to touch them twice.
    Thx
    -Walter
    P.s. Using Mail, not Outlook.

    What email service are you using to write your emails? Or are you using a Thunderbird?
    If you use a webmail service like hotmail or GMail, you can probably find the information you are looking for in that service's help documents. Look for a link called "help" or "support" on the site where you read your emails.

  • RECEIVING email with LARGE attachments

    All,
    I have searched the Verizon site, withou luck, trying to find the maximum incoming email size that Verizon will accept.  I recently had a colleague send me a pdf file attachment that was 15.4 MB and it was bounced by Verizon.  Everyone seems to be locked into the maximum size attachement you can SEND without ever quoting the maximum size you can RECEIVE.  In fact the Verizon support area is totally worthless on this issue.  The FAQ they have that is SPECIFICALLY titled "How large of an attachment can I send or receive through email?", only addresses the maximum size you can SEND.
    So, does anyone here have any idea?  It obviously isn't 20MB send and 20MB receive.
    Thanks in Advance,
    RRS

    Additional data... I had my colleague send the 15.4 MB pdf file to my gmail account where I forwarded it to my Verizon account.  The results of the forwarding was the following message:
    "Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 552 552 5.3.4 a message size of 20483 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 20480 kilobytes computed for this transaction (state 18)."
    I'm not sure how the 15.4 grew into 20.48 but that was the message... just 3 KB over.  So I decided to test the system.  I compressed the PDF file into a zip folder and sent it.  The compressed PDF had compressed down to 14.8 MB.  Once again an error message.  The message follows:
    "Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 552 552 5.3.4 a message size of 20483 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 20480 kilobytes computed for this transaction (state 18).
    So much for compressing the file.
    Interestingly... a short time later both of the files were delivered delivered to my inbox at Verizon.net.
    What in the WORLD is going on here?

  • How to configure mail client to only download headers(titles) of emails

    Hi there?
    I have 10 different email accounts (for some weird reasons that i think irrelevant fir this question), and i want to use Mail app as my main client. iCloud, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, other imap and pop etc.
    Now the mail client is trying to download everything from the servers which is gigs of storgae space. I need to configure mail to only download titles of emails, not the entire email with attachments etc.
    I can do that very simply in MS Outlook, and even in the old outlook express client.
    How can i do that in Mavericks mail client please? I looked everywhere
    Thanks

    Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

  • Mail hangs when I try to open emails with certain attachments

    When I try to open emails with certain attachments, rather PS files (if I recall correctly) it hangs. It seems that Mail is trying to load the PS file for me, and maybe convert it to PDF, which take awful lot of time.
    So at the moment I cannot do anything! Because even if I force quit, and start the Mail program again, it tries to open this same email again!
    My question is: How can I prevent Mail from automatically loading attachments? I would the same for images etc. I want the power to load and view attachments whenever I want them to load.

    Do you keep the message preview pane open?
    If so, close the message preview pane below the message list by double-clicking on the horizontal divider bar that separates the message list from the preview pane.
    This will require double-clicking on a message in the message list to open it. If you have the Attachments and Message Size columns selected for the message list, you can select when you want to open a message that contains a large attachment or attachments.
    If this is for a POP type account, there is no setting in Mail to prevent a message attachment from being loaded when opening the message if the message with attachment has been downloaded from the server.
    Have a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

  • OSX Mail only downloads 1 message at a time

    For some reason, recently, Mail has started downloading only 1 email at a time.  If I've been away from the computer, I have to keep hitting get mail over and over for each email to be downloaded into my box. I have other email accounts in Mail that don't do that and it doesn't happen on my iphone, or in my gmail web based mail.  Only in Mac Mail.  HELP???  It's making me crazy!  How do I fix it???

    Hello harmonyjones.
    Maybe the info provided by Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13291&topic=12812] (click the link) will prove useful.
    I also recommend using Gmail's IMAP access over POP. Google provides over 7 GB of storage at the moment, so I personally only download the message text with Mail.app and keep all the attachments on the server in order to save space on my hdd. If you want more info on how to switch to Gmail IMAP, I'll post a detailed description.
    Good computing.

  • Sent Mail with Large Attachments

    Hello everyone,
    I've noticed that emails I send from Mail on my Mac (which have larger attachments) don't go into my Sent folder.
    There is no record of them being sent. However, I know they've been sent because I get replies to them.
    Emails with no attachments or small attachments go into the Sent folder fine though.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot....

  • Converting Microsoft Outlook Emails with JPEG attachments to a pdf

    Hi,
    I have emails with jpeg attachments.  When I open the email message and clikc the "Convert to PDF", the message is converted to a pdf but the pdf does not have the attachments. I'm assuming there is some setting for this that I can't seem to locate. I have Acrobat X
    Thanks
    Rick

    Hi Jay,
    You can use the 'Acrobat' plugin in Outlook and select the messages or folders to convert to pdf
    The attachments of the mails will be included in the attachment section of the pdf files.

    I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

    I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
    I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
    As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.
