Mail wont send attachments..

My mail program (2.2.1) wont send emails with attachments, particularly images. It places them in the outbox, sometimes without the attachment. If it is with the attachment, when I open them up and try to send them, it crashes the entire program.
This is particularly frustrating as I am a photographer who needs this desperately...
I'm not sending attachments larger than 10M as I know this is my limit, I've looked through previous posts and tried deleting plists and rebuilding things. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be. I had a g4 12inch powerbook and I had no problems with this....
Thanks.

It places them in the outbox, sometimes without the attachment.
Do you get an error message when this happens?
when I open them up and try to send them, it crashes the entire program.
Does it really crash (i.e. quit unexpectedly) or does it freeze (i.e. become unresponsive)?

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
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. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations, and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • 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:

    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:

  • Mail automatically sending attachments - ON ITS OWN!

    So, When I write an email and send an attachment, everything is fine. Then, when I send the next email, with NO attachment, email sometimes takes the last attachment I sent and sends it. It ONLY does this AFTER I hit the "send" button, so.... I have no way of telling if THIS time is going to be the time that mail automatically sends an attachment.
    This has been very embarrassing because two times today clients of mine have received zips of files, including source files, that belong to ANOTHER CLIENT! Imagine being afraid to send an email because you are not sure if mail is going to attach a random attachment!!
    Please help! --> if it is of any help, when I drag an attachment to my mail icon in the dock, it opens two new email messages, but might be unrelated. Please help me understand what is going on!
    -i

    Please help me understand what is going on!
    What, you want wisdom as well as solutions? Not that I have either to offer, only a couple of suggestions.
    If you are using that second new mail message that opens, don't- delete it and start a real new one. I would also suggest not dragging a file to the Mail icon as there are known issues with this, and you might be experiencing a strange side effect. Before clicking send, disconnect from the network. Your outgoing message will land up in the Outbox where you can check it and if necessary remove any attachments. When you reconnect the message will go.

  • Apple mail wont send or recieve

    Until recently everything with Mail has been fine. However for some reason my iMac wont send or recive mail from one of my domains. My laptop, ipad and iphone will send and recieve mail OK from the domain. The email settings on the iMac, iPad, iPhone and macbook are all the same. ISP says the problem is not at their end. Any ideas?
    Note that mail will send and recieve OK from another one of my domians across all platforms.

  • Mail wont send emails

    Hi
    I have had a look at some of the forums around trying to come up with a solution still I cant find one.
    I have 1 email pending in my outbox and it wont let me send them saying my password is incorrect.  It seems to be just recently when I changed my hotmail pasword.  I have gone into the Mail preferences and changed the SMTP outgoing mail but it still comes up with it when ever i need to send an email.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    Amanda

    Is the problem that Mail will not send ANY emails or that you cannot Reply to some emails.
    If the former, look at your SMTP settings (not just the SMTP address) to ensure that your port number and authentication type are correct for your current ISP. Being abroad might have reset these.
    If the latter, look at the "Send To address" which Mail has infrequently corrupted since Panther.
    Sometimes if you Reply to an email sent from: <[email protected]>, Mail creates the corrupted address: "[email protected]><[email protected]" <[email protected]> which will not send successfully.

  • Mail not sending attachments

    On behalf of a friend who I usually do phone support for when he has a problem.
    This problem has stumped me!
    Mail 4.5 (1084)
    Mac OSX 10.6.8
    He has mail set to access Gmail (IMAP) and it works fine when sending a normal email, however, when sending an attachment, the activity monitor, goes halfway and then the reate drops off and the mesage about cannot be sent from this outgoing server is displayed. - mesage goes to outbox. - Open that message back up, delete the attachment and send, it goes no problems.
    Tried to work out what the problem is, by:
    checking Gmail (with attachments) through browser, sent OK
    trying different file types, jpg, txt, zip, and different ways of attaching them, either from menu or dragging them into the meassga pain. - No send
    repair permissions for mac, incase any pref files corrupt. - No send
    brand new jpg created from photoshop - No send
    image emailed from me, copied to desktop and then sent back to me - No send
    So wondering what it could be.
    I'm thinking of suggesting he updates to Lion, however, he has some equipment and software (scanner and camera) that may not work with Lion!
    You guys got any ideas? - thanks in advance!

    Thanks Gerry
    The files are tiny (few kb)
    I thought about windows friendly files, but we are both Mac (and Mail) users. I will suggest that.

  • TS3276 Hotmail on Mac Mail not sending attachments

    I have my hotmail account set up with Mac Mail. I can send & receive emails without any problems, however as soon as I attach anything (small or large) it will not send. The same attachments will send fine if I log onto Hotmail through Safari/chrome. This has only been happening in the last week or so.
    What do I need to do?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page 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.
    Log out and log back in. Launch 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 sending attachments properly

    Hi- I'm trying to send clients emails with attachments. They are receiving the emails, but with no attachment. I sent it to a coworker and the attachment was there. Additionally, another coworker sent the same message to the client, and the attachment was sent with it. "Always send Windows-friendly Attachments" is checked, the whole attaching process is completely normal, but some clients are not getting my attachments.
    The machine I am using is a Mac Mini with OS 10.5.8, Mail version 3.6.
    Any ideas of what I could do?

    You aren't the only one having this problem. Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

  • Mail wont send or receive messages

    I have 4 different mailboxes set up on mail. I noticed earlier that several messages that I had sent were just witting in the sent folder like they were sending but they never would go. I tried to rebuild one of the mailboxes which is an imap account, but it simply deleted all the messages in my inbox? Its like mail is no longer communication with the mail servers? I have two different mail providers and it is doing this with both of them. I have also tried to restart several times with no luck.

    Try this link, it helped me.

  • Mail wont send emails - Help!

    Hello!
    Unable to send emails from my Mac (G5 OSX 10.5.8) using Mail.
    Dialogue box says "Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
    Email addresses are fine (in use for years) and smtp address is good too.
    Receiving incoming emails without problem.
    Connection Doctor shows all is good for my 3 PoP accounts.
    Problems started on returning from overseas trip. Abroad I use a Mac Pro which I upgraded to snow leopard. I also use MobileMe. The Mac Pro had issues sending mails too - using connections which had worked faultlessly for years. Had to restart it to send emails waiting in Outbox.
    Any fixes or help for me?
    Thanks for any responses
    Cheers

  • Windows 8 Mail Wont Send

    As of Yesterday, (27th Sept) My windows mail has stopped sending email to any of the IMAP accounts set up, I have seen this on multiple PCs with multiple IMAP accounts, so i'm pretty sure it's not a Mail server issue, and I have tried it via different internet
    connections to rule out ISP issues.
    Symptoms:
    Compose new email, click send, click sync, email then goes into drafts - in the top right, it says
    [email protected] is unavailable.
    I have tried removing the account and re-adding it, and removing the mail app altogether then re installing it from the store with no joy.
    Syncing with Hotmail is unaffected and works just fine.

  • Mac mail wont send from new address

    I wonder if anyone can help me...I recently purchased a mac mail address for my girlfriend and i set it up. (anyone who has done this before will know that all you have to do is put your username and password in to set the @mac address up and all the rest is done for you). However, i can not send mail to her new address, nor can i send anything from her address. I can though send her mail on me.com, and i can also send and receive me.com mail from her mac. I have no idea what is going on. HEELLPP!!

    I recently purchased a mac mail address
    Are you sure it's a .Mac address, or is it a MobileMe address?
    i can not send mail to her new address
    Are you trying to send mail to that address from a different address, or from her own address?
    What are the specific settings for the account (Incoming and Outgoing servers, port numbers for each, authentication method, and SSL status)?
