Mail with 6MB attachments created a 69 MB Monster, up and down, no end!

Yesterday I sent a mail with about 6 MB of data, I couldn't wait until mail did its usual play with stupid upload to .Mac, upload to draft, re-download to drafts again, re-download to sent messages and so on. Today mail does nothing but trouble, everytime I start mail it wants endlessly to down- and upload a monster of a 69 MB file that I've never created and there is nothing to see, wheter to delete nor to refuse. Activity shows only that nothing goes forward and this task blocks anything else, I can't recieve mails, I can't send mails this way. This issue let go down anything with mail on my iMac! What can I do???

Couldn't wait means I couldn't wait until it finishes this endless story!
After a week of absence there is still the same problem. Ever and ever again it copies a 69 MB Monster to my drafts folder, I waited up to 5 of the same mail listed in the drafts folder and there was still no end. Deleting the files from drafts doesn't do anything, it shows "copy mail" in the activity window and there is no hope to end that task in hours! Then, after a while there is a timeout with .Mac.

SAP PI7.31 : Mail with multiple attachments - how to process via UDF

Hi
wondering how I can approach this problem.   I have to read an Email with any number of attachments - it can have between 1 and 4 or maybe more of different types (CSV,XLS,PDF,ZIP). I need to read this email and extract the attachments to a folder.
Just to let you know I have done this OK for an email that I know only has 2 attachments ! Works perfectly - just no good for ?n? attachments !
   Mail Sender has AF_Modules/MultipartHeaderBean to add payload Attributes
   The message is sent to 2 Receivers
   Each Receiver File adapter then uses AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean and AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
Problem is that when I do not know how many attachments there are. So I will have to write a Java UDF mapping, perhaps using the classTransformationInput.
My question is : To create a Java UDF what should be structure of a sent Email message Type look like so I can feed that into a UDF to check what payload attachments there are etc ?.

As long as you use java mapping, you can have any dummy structures for your interfaces.
But, if you prefer to use graphical mapping with UDF, then you should have some valid structures for your mail and file interfaces. e.g., mail pack XSD for mail interface as metioned by Indrajit Sarkar
and again the same structure for the file interface as well so that you can have one to one mapping an then make use of UDF code from the article. Use payload swap bean in the receiver file channel to replace xml payload with Zipped attachments and then finally use script to unzip this zip file.
Rgds,
Praveen Gujjeti

Rule to delete all mail with ZIP attachments?

Unfortunately, I have to do business with Windows users whose machines seem to be infested with viruses that harvest email addresses. As a result, I am engulfed daily with mail that contains Windows virus attachments (ZIP files) and spam with GIF attachments. And I'm tired of it. Reporting the senders to their ISPs is an exercise in futility.
Since the only legitimate attachments I receive from clients are always, and without exception, Stuffit SIT or SITX files, is there any way to set up a rule in Mail that will delete emails with ZIP or GIF attachments but allow those with SIT/SITX files through?
There doesn't seem to be a way to add "Attachment" to the list of headers in Rules. In view of the fact that the most common vector for viruses is via email attachments, this seems to be a major oversight on Apple's part.
Any hints on dealing with this ****?
Kind regards.
Message was edited by: Dave Bourke. I'm sorry, when did the common word for Hades become forbidden? John Milton is on the banned list now? What is happening to the world?

Many thanks for your very helpful response, Mikkel.
However, when I expand the headers on any mail that contains an attachment, there is no header named "Attachment," just a paperclip symbol with an expand arrow.
So if I go to create a Rule, first of all there is no "Attachment" header in the Conditions list, and second it is unclear how to enter such a symbol-based header in the "Edit Header List..." dialog. Do I simply type the word "Attachment" into the dialog as a header even though it never actually appears in any emails with attachments?
Still mystified...
Kind regards.

Mail with PDF attachments sent, not stored in Sent

IMAP account, Sent folder configured to point to server's sent mail folder. "Windows friendly attachments" selected.
If I send a message with multiple PDF attachments, the message will be received, but it won't be written to the Sent folder.
I can't afford to lose the archive copy of these messages, so I have adopted the habit of bcc'ing myself, but it's a drag.
Any thoughts?

I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce. Hence the delay.

Syncing Mail with Word attachments without the internet?

Is there a way to sync email with Word doc. attachments with a desktop, via a usb cable, without the desktop having an internet connection?
The setup is an iphone that syncs mail with a work computer that is internet connected. At home there is no internet accept Edge; i.e. iPhone gets internet but the desktop does not. I would like to use the iphone to move Word docs from emails back and forth to the desktop. I.e. someone emails me with a word doc attachment, (ii) Can I then sync (download) the attachment onto my home computer via a USB cable, edit the document? and then (iii) sync (upload) the edited word document back to the iPhone (which will then sync with my work computer via the Edge connection.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Tooschaye,
iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, it does not sync the actual emails or attachments.
You should be able to find a few applications on the App Store which will let you store files on your iPhone. Then you can transfer the files to your desktop. I believe most of these apps require the devices be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Dave,
sorry for being late but I just saw your message now...
In 10.3.x, there indeed is no way to filter based on attachment names (this is a new feature present in 10.4.x). However, you should be able to mark all those messages as spam and filter them to your junk mailbox using Junk Matcher:

MAIL WITH SMALL ATTACHMENTS LIKE 1.00 MB ALSO DOESN'T GO

WHEN I TRY TO SEND MAILS WITH ATTACHMENTS THEN ATTACHMENTS AS SMALL AS 1.00 MB IS ALSO NOT GOING. WHEN I LOG IN TO MY SERVICE PROVIDER SITE AND MAIL IT FROM THERE THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

Is that a Thunderbird support question? Firefox doesn't "do" email, but it will display email at the ISP website.

Deal with mails with / without attachments

My codes actually can save the image attachment of emails from email server. But, one problem I have is the codes don't work for mails with no attachment. How can solve this? I have added the structure of how I coded it. I am not sure if I can modify the 2nd part of the codes such that mails without attachment can work too. Pls advise. thank.
My code pattern is like this:
1st part : Connection.
2nd part:
if (contentType.startswith("image/")){
//get the image and save to folder and insert path to image table of database
if (contentType.startswith("text/plain")){
// insert image id and text to another table of database
3rd part: Delete email.

I don' have the demo folder currently. Any sample code that can be posted here?
I tried
if(disposition == null){
//do this for emails with no attachment
else if (disp.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT)){
//do this with attachments
else{
out.println("invalid");
But it still can't work. The (disp == null) seems to pass in all values for both emails with attachments or no attachments....Why??

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....

Mail with PDF attachments bounce back??

I often send time-sensitive PDFs that need to be reviewed quickly so it ***** to learn a couple of days later that the delivery failed! Is there a way that mail can inform that the email DID arrive successfully? Or is there a way to reduce the amount of times mail tries to send it before it notifies me it failed? Also, any ideas why these emails fail in the first place? They are not huge files!

I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce.

Send mail with 2 attachments

Hi all,
I need to send an email with 2 attachments: 1 is a sapscript converted into PDF, and the other one is an Excel sheet.
Is it possible?
I think I almost have it, with function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, and table field pack_list-head_start, but I can see the PDF and not the Excel.
Thanks in advance,
Rafael Llabré

This is possible, however for every attachment you need for example a new pack list. So the thing you do for ONE attachment has to be repeated for every new attachment.
have a look at this thread:

I have a problem with bookmarks page not allowing me to move up and down the page on the "show all bbokmarks" "bookmarks menu"page

I am trying to set up Sync to enable me to use bookmarks on my desktop and laptop. When I have either one using sync, I can open the bookmarks page using "show all bookmarks" "Bookmarks menu" .But when i try to navigate the page, the page locks up and I can not page up and down the page. the page seems to be locked. Any ideas or should I delete the account and attempt to start over?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
