Major problems sending attachments from Mail

G'day all,
I frequently have to email colleagues at work from my Mac at home. They all use MS Outlook to view emails.
Whenever I send just an an email (text only) everything comes out fine, my signature etc.
However when i send ANY attachment, e.g .xls .doc or .jpg or any other type the person receiving does not get a regular looking email.
They get 4 files along the top of the page, AT00001.htm, AT00002.htm, the file I sent .xls and one called mylogo.jpg (this is just a little image in my signature).
The "main body" of the email remains empty.
I do tick the 'Windows Friendly box " when sending.
This has been going on for a while apparantly but I was never told.
Any ideas how to overcome this issue as it does look very un-professional when i send emails.
Remember, they are perfect without attachments.

I am having the same sort of issue. I use to be able to attach icon documents in my e-mails. Now attachments are coming up as large documents embedded at the end of the e-mail. I then went to the corner of the e-mail and brought the document down to small size. I just need to attache an icon of the document, not the full document. How do I get this back.

Problem sending attachments in Mail 3.0

Here appears to be yet another bug in Mail 3.0.
If I create a new email, enter in the address, subject and content then try to add an attachment Mail does nothing. It will not attach a file no mater what I do.
However, if I save the email as a draft then reopen it and try attaching again - it attaches the files without a problem.
This is very inconvenient and inefficient and needs to be fixed ASAP.

I understand that there are always issues with new OS releases. My point is that Leopard, altough revolutionary in its addition of new features also broke so many others.
What is perhaps even more disturbing is that there was no warning from Apple about what was going to happen with an upgrade (ie, a new firewall that is OFF by default, until Leopard the firewall was always on by default. New permissions policy that eliminated the 501 group, rendering a user in that group as "unknown" thereby causing all sorts of issues with software, file creation and system access in general).
Sure, there are many improvements in Leopard, but I feel there are also some areas where it has taken a step. In future I will not be one of those scrambling to get the latest release of OSX on my machine!

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

TS3899 Problems sending email from hotmail addresses in iPad Mail

Hi
I am having problems sending email from my hotmail addresses (live.com) in the Mail program on my iPad. I get a message that says "An error occurred while sending this message". Tis morning the program worked perfectly. Now, not so much!
I have turned my iPad off and on. I have deleted and reinstalled the mail accounts. Neither strategy helped.
I have no problems with my gmail address. I can send mail if I log on to the hotmail website in Safari.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I would like to find a way to only have the gmail inbox but still send from any three of her accounts.
You can do it this way:
Set up only one account. The one from which you want to receive mail.
In Mail > Preferences > Accounts > +gmail acct+ > Email Address insert the other email addresses, separating each with a comma and single space.
Only the GMail account will receive incoming Mail. However, when you want to send from another address, in the From dropdown menu toggle the address from which you wish to send mail.
You will, of course, delete the other accounts you have created to avoid getting incoming messages.

I can't send attachments with MAIL

Please help me. Since I have installed Leopard, I have problems to send attachments by mail. People to whom I send, they don't receive them.
Does anybody have any idea about to solve this trouble?
Andrea from Italy

so you look in your Sent folder and the email with attachment is shown as sent, and you do not receive an error message on your computer.
then i would say it is purely a recipient error, and i am not sure how we can help on these pages not knowing what system they use or if on the web. do you have a friend to whom you can send an attachment that also uses a mac by any chance? does he/she receive the attachment fine, or no attachment either?
hope this helps

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Stripping Attachments from Mail messages.

Does anybody know of a utility for stripping out attachments from Mail messages so as to save storage space?

Hey thanks for the suggestions.
Firstly, embedded attachments can be dragged out of the email messages on Windows as they can on OS X.
Getting our clients to work like this could be difficult as they all have 1024px screens and from what we've seen they always have their windows maximised (in fact most Windows users seem to do this). But we'll suggest it.
Secondly, when you next plan to make an attachment be sure to use the menu or toolbar option for selecting an attachment. When the Choose File dialog appears you will see a checkbox in the lower left labeled "Use Windows friendly attachments." Be sure that option is checked.
We do this but it still doesn't seem to work - maybe their MailMarshal software is causing this?
Thirdly, be sure any attachment you send has the proper extension. For example, PDF files should have ".pdf", and JPEGs should have ".jpg" or ".jpeg" in order to be consistent with what Windows applications expect.
Yes, we do this.
Fourthly, often certain documents on OS X do not have an extension or the extension is slightly different, for example, Word documents may be ".docx" on the Mac, but need to be ".doc" in order for Word for Windows to open the document by double-clicking.
Have come across this also.
Fifthly, ZIP files should not normally be confused with junk. Your IT department may need to consider making some changes to their email filtering software.
We don't have an IT department, and based on recent conversations with their IT guys, they're definitely not interested in taking suggestions on email security from Mac users!
Will see how we go with getting our clients to work differently but I'd personally prefer to sort it our end - from their point of view it's a Mac issue and from what I can see I think they might be right.

Intermittent error saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am reciving intermittent errors saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am seeing this too.

Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).
RE: the suggestion, checking security box "allow apps downloaded from all sites" I would really rather not do that.
On my system it is set to allow "Mac App store and identified developers."

imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

Gmail will not send emails from mail

On my Gmail account I am unable to send emails from mail on my iMac. I have OS X 10.9.1
I have tried several times turning on and off 2 - step verification.
I have also entered the generated password in the SMTP server as well.
Message says: SMTP-server.gmail.... Could not connect
When I edit SMTP server list how do I fill that in.
ie Description, server name TLS Certificate.

Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.

I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

Sending photo attachments from Mail to Gmail

I've been sending photo attachments via Mail for years and haven't had trouble until recently. Now I'm getting complaints from Gmail users that the attachments come through as embedded files. I guess on the Gmail end, they don't see it listed out as an attachment, but as part of the mail body. What's going on here?
I attach files same as I always have - by clicking on "attach", then selecting the file(s) I want to attach. I always leave "send windows friendly attachments" selected (although in an experiment, I tried sending it without clicking that, and the images came over all stretched out and shrunken in a very strange way).
I can't think of what would be happening, but I'm assuming it's something in either the way Mail or Gmail is treating the photos - and I'd like to have them come through as attachments, rather than embed files (I'm a photographer and have heard from some of my clients that the embed is a pain - they have to "save as" right click on each image rather than just select "save attachments" or something).
Any ideas??

Send to these recipients using only Plain Text, and all should be well. To test choose a message you previously sent from the Sent mailbox, open, click on Message in the menubar, choose Send Again, then click on Format and choose Make Plain Text.
Rich Text as received by those using Outlook or Outlook Express, as two examples, will see the RTF as HTML, and the attachments will appear embedded -- although they are not.

Can't send emails from Mail with microsoft word attachments

Ok, this is a weird one. About a month ago I realized that people weren't receiving my emails sent from Mail when I attached Microsoft Word documents to them. I can attach anything else, but the second I throw in a .doc, the email simply won't be received. It will send perfectly fine, without any errors or signs of problems. Ever heard of that before? Any ideas?

I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.
