Mail sends Word and PDF attachments but they don't arrive

When I send emails with Word or PDF attachments they leave my inbox, but the email is not received on the other side.
Anyone know why?

Hi Ernie
I see you've answered many peple's questions about this, thanks! I've tried deleting the outbox in my Library folder as you suggested to someone else.
Messages without attachments are received by others.
Messages are sent to sent box
Messages show they have an attachment in the sent box.
Another related issue that has happened. I might have 5 attahments and then saved them the email to the Drafts folder, only to find that it has deleted or can't see several of them when I open it again to send.
Thanks for this

If your mail service allows all of that to be sent as attachments or however you are attempting that then it's possible the email server or servers receiving the email do not allow attachments that large.
You say you are sending "a combination of MS Word and pdf files and attachments". I've never sent anything like that. I have zipped various files into a zip file then attached that to an email for sending.
Googles mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
Yahoo mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes also.
Microsofts mail appears to allow a total of 20 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
Another option would be to upload everything to your onedrives public folder and provide a link for others to download all of it in the email you send out.
A single users onedrive supposedly can have up to 10 gigabytes loaded onto it. I suppose all of that could be used by the public folder but maybe not.

Word and PDF Attachments Won't Open in Mail

I bought my iPad2 in September 2011. have upgraded it to iOS5. I cannot open any PDF, .doc or .docx document. I have tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader and the Word documents in Pages or Dropbox but they won't open. All my apps are up to date.
What seems to be happening is that Mail is having difficulty downloading the attachment. I had a 4MB PDF attachment and when I tapped on the icon it began to download, which took several minutes. I saw the byte size change from 0 to 4MB. Then I tapped on it again to open the file but the byte size dropped immediately to 0 again and the file won't open. I tried opening in Adobe Reader but got the error "The document is empty (size 0KB)" . I have gone through several cycles of downloading the file and seining the seesaw from 0 to 4MB and back again. Just won't open the file.
Same problem when I tried opening Word documents in Pages or Dropbox. Also, I reproduced this issue with my colleague's iPad (version 1, iOS4, Pages).
Just to ascertain there's nothing wrong with the file attachments, I downloaded the same PDF in Outlook, placed it in my Dropbox, and opened it in the iPad without any problem.
Anyone else having this issue?

Have you tried pressing the attachment to get the "open in" message and open in VLC, iBooks, or other apps?

I can't play movie downloads. I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies. I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time. Nothing works.

If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Mail app not showing some png and pdf attachments.

I'm using the iPhone 4s and recently, both mobileme and yahoo email accounts are not showing some png and pdf attachments. I'm seeing the attachment is there, but it doesn't load. Load remote images is turned on in settings. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution/explanation?

My work email account is an IMAP account.
I removed my work email account on my home computer this morning to test out this problem on my computer at work. I just sent a test message to my work account from my iPhone. My iPhone, iPad and computer at work still have my work email active on them and all the devices are showing the test message as new and unread. The problem seems to be that when I have my work email activated on my home computer, the messages do not show new and unread on the rest of my devices.

That's more likely to be a carrier issue than an iPhone issue. You should each contact your respective carriers.

Turn off rich text in your email signature. Delete images too, if any.

Best solutions for storing text, Word and pdf documents on iPad

I just switched from using a powerbook to an iPad + microkeyboard for my work computer (I'm freelance and need to bring my own device wherever I go), and I love the size and weight of it compared to a laptop.
What I am glitching on is the fact that I cannot save documents to my ipad. Clients email Word and PDF docs to me, and I have (very few of) my own docs, such as resumes, which I need to update slightly and send out to them as well. It's not ideal when I need to send out a resume to dig through my Sent folder on Mail and forward it, creating a new email but just saving the attachment. I also need to access certain received documents repeatedly as reference. I'm surprised iOS for iPad doesn't have a "Documents" folder as OS X does.
How are users working around this problem currently? Please give me suggestions for solutions. I'm hopeful that future iterations of iOS will provide a way to store and access a personal library of documents as it does photos and videos, so I will commit to working through this in the short term. What are your work arounds?
T

I doubt iOS will ever change. iOS does not have a file manager system like you're used to on a laptop or desktop, so it lacks the ability to access files like you're used to. So whatever workarounds you find will likely become your regular work flow. If Apple hasn't added a file manager to iOS in the past 5 (give or take) years it's doubtful they'll do so in the future...the lack of a file manager is why the iOS operating system is so secure, viruses can't infect and use a file manager system to spread if they don't have one.)
iOS ties the access to files to the apps that access them. As you said, photos with the photos app, music with the music app. With your purchase of a new iOS device you are eligible for free Apple apps, amongst them Pages and Numbers, Apple's word processing and version of excel.. You can store your documents in that app and access them that way. Or there are tons of other word processing apps. I use Documents to Go (although it's not free so you may wish to experiment with the free apps first before you start paying)
File transfer....well Apple's work flow is that everyone has access to always on and always available internet, thus their workflow being built around the cloud and using the internet for file transfer, as well as e-mailing stuff to yourself. There are some flash drives out there that have their own wifi transmitter that may help you. You'd plug them into another computer, put the file on it, turn on the wifi transmitter and use a small localized hotspot to connect your ipad to and download the files to your iPad via an app that will come with the flash drive.

Mail with image and PDF not displaying correctly on Outlook

Environment and problem
OS X Mountain Lion, Mail 6.1 (everything up to date)
Emails with mixed image and PDF attachments send from my MacBoox Pro are not being displayed correctly when received on Outlook. It is not an Outlook problem.
Multiple inline images - ok
I compose an email, rich text format, insert severnal inline images, send to colleage on Windows 7 using Outlook, all received ok. He sees the message with inline images.
Multiple inline images and PDF - not ok
I compose a similar email with multiple inline images, but attach a PDF. This time all of the attachments (images and PDF) appear at the end of the message when viewed in Outlook.
Gmail browser comparison
I repeat the above from a Gmail account via Safari and I can make an email with inline images and PDF attachments and it works.
Any thoughts, tips, bug reports, etc appreciated.
Jon

No - can't be an Apple fan and then critisise MS for being proprietry
My problem was solved by installing Attachment Tamer.
It could also have been solved by emailing from Gmail directly.
The guys I work with use Outlook and were suprised to see this behaviour.
It's only basic OS X email that has a problem.
I wholeheartedly agree that the standard for emails are not conducive for rich layout control.
But - when my email just has images I had no problems. Take for example the email notifications we're getting from this thread - there are images and layout etc and work fine.
The key feature from Attachment Tamer hints at the problem (and its solution):
send images embedded in HTML layout and safely mix embedded images with other attachments;

Can´t send emails with pdf attachments - why?

Since i moved all my accounts to my new airbook (OS X 10.8.2) everything works fine BUT i am not able to send emails with pdf attachments.I have an exchange and a mac.account - but they both won`t work.
The emails stay put in the local ausgang? exit box and won`t move away unless i delete them.
i checked the accounts, the activity - all says it works fine - but it doesn`t!
Maybe in the *deep* of my mac is one thing that says no pdf - but where can i find it?
I appreciate every helpful hint :-)
greetings

it tries to send the email for about five minutes and than gives the message *server doesn't work* you want to try another? repeat? or later?
when i change the server e.g. from exchange to mac - tries again and without further notice i find the message in the outbox - even when i click that one and *send* again - nothing changes......
I already tried to name the attachments in.pdf - i also change the pdf to jpeg - nothing works - all emails i write after that go immediately to the outbox - so when i want to send messages at all i need to delete the ones with the attachment or send the other ones manually
Please notice in the activity window there is a lot of traffic :-) but it doesn`t help
i even closed all other programmes like excel,safari and stuff - but still
and i still have al lot of free GB on my airbook....
any idea????

Storing MS-Word and PDF documents in database uploaded through APEX

I want to allow users to upload MS-Word and PDF documents they have created / edited outside of the APEX app for storage in the database along with the other app data.
I know that I should use a file browse item in a region for this purpose.
I have a some questions:
1. What database datatype is best for storing MS-Word and PDF docs? CLOB?
2. How can the user see that the file has been uploaded? In other words, how can they see that the filename has been uploaded? I want to show this on the page for later viewing. I have uploaded a document, but later, I have no way to see that the document has in fact been uploaded. From the APEX page, the file browse item does not indicate whether or not a file has previously been uploaded.
3. How can the user download the previously uploaded document?
4. Is there a way to give users the capability to edit a document in an APEX app where they can do MS-Word-like editing (font size, font type, bold, italics, etc.)?
I know I've asked a lot here and I appreciate your input.

In my case, I am uploading screenshots of my application and then displaying them. You can feel free to use it if you want, the code was mostly taken from examples of file uploads posted by others. Here is some code to get you started:
File Table description
CREATE TABLE FILE_UPLOAD
   (name           VARCHAR2(4000) PRIMARY KEY,
    subject        VARCHAR2(4000),
    id             NUMBER,
    blob_content   BLOB,
    mime_type      VARCHAR2(4000),
    PAGE_ID        NUMBER);File Upload Procedure
IF ( :P20_FILE_NAME is not null ) THEN
     INSERT INTO FILE_UPLOAD (id, NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE, PAGE_ID)
      SELECT ID,:P20_FILE_NAME,:P20_SUBJECT, blob_content, mime_type, :P20_PAGE_ID
            FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
            WHERE name = :P20_FILE_NAME;
   DELETE from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES WHERE name = :P20_FILE_NAME;
END IF;Download Image Procedure Definition
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
        v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
        v_length NUMBER;
        v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
        Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
         INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
    FROM FILE_UPLOAD
   WHERE id = p_file;
    -- set up HTTP header
    -- use an NVL around the mime type and
    -- if it is a null set it to application/octect
    -- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
    -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
    -- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
    -- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
/make sure to grant the procedure rights for use by anyone
GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO PUBLICDisplay Image Procedure Definition
create or replace PROCEDURE "DISPLAY_IMAGE"
inID NUMBER
AS
vMIME VARCHAR2(48);
vLENGTH NUMBER;
vFILENAME VARCHAR2(2000);
vBLOB BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, NAME, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(BLOB_CONTENT)
    INTO vMIME, vBLOB, vFILENAME, vLENGTH
FROM FILE_UPLOAD
WHERE ID = inID;
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(vMIME, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || vLENGTH);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(vBLOB);
END;
/Again, make sure everyone has rights to execute the procedure.
GRANT EXECUTE ON DISPLAY_IMAGE TO PUBLICThis doesn't create an editor inside the browser, it just creates a simple upload/display process. For a WYSIWYG editor that handles PDF or Docs, you'll need something far more sophisticated, and I can't suggest anything there.

Problems viewing dashboards in Word and PDF

I use Xcelsius 2008, service pack 3 and when I export dashboards to Word and pdf others cannot open and view them. I send them the files via email, some people can open and use, many cannot. I have Windows XP sp3, and Office 2007. This is a problem because some clients can open and use, others cannot.

Hi,
    Craig is on the right track, it is most likely a Adobe Flash Player Version issue.
    Read the Supported Platform guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 for more details.
              http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50fdb3d2-50cc-2c10-e392-a2e481f71694
    Make sure they have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.151.0 and above installed.
    Another quick test they can do, see if they can open SWF file directly on their Internet Explorer. I doubt the issue is related to WORD or PDF at all.
Cheers,
Ken

I send an e-mail every week with an attachment to 4 people since I got Firefox they don't arrive at their destination. Any ideas?

I used Internet explorer but was having difficulties reading "sky's" e-mails, I was recommended by Sky to use Firefox. I can now read the e-mails but when I send an e-mail and an attachment, to 4 addressees (which I have done every week for about 5 years, using internet explorer) they don't arrive at any of the intended destination, can anyone give me a solution to my problem. Thanks

Hi thanks for the response,
I haven't tried to send an attachment to myself, not sure exactly how to do that but I'll have a look Friday/Saturday when I get home.
As to the mail system, I use Sky's e-mail, as I said it use to work perfect on Internet explorer until Sky changed the format of their e-mail page, then I was unable to scroll up or down the page. So I was advised by Sky to use Firefox
