Missing Attachments in Mac Mail

Hi, I have a client who use Exchange 2007 as there mail server. The mac clients either use Mail or entourage to connect to the mail server.
The problem i am having, is usaing the Mail client, attachments will not show up on random emails. If i use OWA, an Iphone, Entourgae the attachment appears OK. The Mac has all the lastest software updates.
Has anyone else had this problem?

The problem of "invisible" attachments sounds all too familiar. I am using Apple's "Mail" program ver. 3.4.
Recently, attachments have not always been showing up when the email's file size and the Paperclip icon indicates an attachment should be present. I have found that when this happens, very often I can view the hidden attachment by either going to the File Menu and choosing "Quick Look Attachments", or by pressing the Command and Y keys simultaneously. On occasion, I have had this abnormality occur from the same sender's email account who has also sent other emails with attachments that have shown up.
If this is a known Bug, hopefully the upcoming OS X 10.5.5 update will provide a fix.

Can't delete attachments in mac mail

On the mac mail I used to be able to select a mail, then press “Command” button and “M” to delete an attachment (without deleting the whole e-mail, just delete the attachment). But right now, when I try to delete attachments in some e-mails by pressing those two buttons, it just make a “ding” sound and wouldn’t delete anything. Can you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Since this problem only happening with certain e-mails, I thought it’s probably something wrong with the attachment. So, I forward that same e-mail back to me (including the attachment and everything), I can delete that attachment by pressing those two buttons. So, I am guess there is nothing wrong with the file that has been attached.

I'm not on 10.6 at the moment to see what might be the problem, did it wok in this version before, or was it an earlier OSX version?

Lost attachments in Mac Mail ...

I have an email thread (quite a long one). In one of the emails sent to me was an important document, it was sent as an attachment. I am trying to retrieve this document, however, when I go to find that particular message in the thread I cannot click the attachment. The message no longer is in standard format, but rather colored text.
Does mac mail only store messages with attachments for so long? Is there a way to retrieve it? Please Help!!
Thanks

I am unable to email attachments from mac mail

I have a new Macbook Air with Moutain Lion. I am using Mac Mail. When I first started, i could add only a few attachments but now I cannot add a single one. This renders Mac Mail almost useless. I've tried adding/deleting accounts, checked all imap options, tried different ISP emails and new user, rebuilt mailbox, and on and on. I thought it might be a file privelage thing, but I don't think so. Drag and drop adds an empty icon.
Any help is welcomed. I will need to move onto a different app if I can't fix this.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
ls -1A {/,}Library/Mail/Bundles 2> /dev/null
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Mp3 attachments in Mac Mail/10.4.11

In the last week we updated our software on both our G5 and my g4 MacBook Pro. Now on both machines when we attempt to attach MP3 files in Mac Mail the icon of the attachment appears cut in half. This happens on both MP3 files and mpegs. Anyone have any ideas?

I have similar problem with OS 10.4.11 and QT pro 7.4. When I write a mail and ask to 'attach' a wmv file I get two tiny examples superimposed. The front item will play, with sound but is so small you can't see the action.
This makes you reluctant to send the attachment,as you assume the receiver will not be able to see the picture (audio is ok).
However, I have sent the same item to myself, and it arrives correctly , normal size. Also, if you click while it is in the 'Outbox' it appears normal, but double click as if you wished to amend it and it appears with the tiny replicas.
It is very annoying, but the answer, pending an Apple Fix, is just send it anyway, the receiver won't know you have a problem....

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

Missing messages in Mac Mail that appear in my PC Outlook

Ok - this is VERY strange. I recently posted an ad on Craigs List and was surprised to get just a single response. Later in the day I went to my office & on my PC, in outlook, were about 12 emails responding to the posting. Including 3 follow-up emails from the single response I did get on my Mac (in other words I got 1 of the 4 messages the same guy sent on my MacBook). I get email on both computers regularly - everything is redundant as I have messages stay on the server for 21 days so I get all my email in multiple places (I have 3 laptops & a blackberry). I assumed the missing mail would be in the junk folder - NOPE. The mail is no where to be found on my Mac. Had I not looked on my pc for mail I would have missed all the emails - any ideas? BTW - when I go to webmail, all messages are there. I continue to get all other mail throughout the day so mail is sending & receiving just fine.

& it gets better. I looked on my other MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 & in it's mail program contains ALL the missing messages but they were in brown listed as Junk. But at least they were in the list!

Missing emails imap mac mail

I'm looking for emails that I sent my accountant January/february this year and they are gone! Can't see them in time machine either... can one search email in time machine? It doesn't seem so for me.
imac/iphone/macbook
-I'm looking specifically in my sent folder, but expanded search to All also
-I transitioned from pop to imap a few months ago when I started using the macbook and wanted more sync across computers.
-it's not like all the messages are gone... there are plenty of emails but the specific ones I'm looking for are not there now, not sure how many others might be gone
-I checked all my computers and none are set to pop none for erase off server
-I did have trouble setting up mail on my macbook... so I switched to thunderbird for that computer
What is the procedure for seeing emails on time machine? Don't I start it while in mail program and just roll the time back and I should see archived versions??
-The other variable is I upgraded from snow leop to mt lion about this same time- Jan/Feb so I could use the cloud. But wouldn't my old leopard mail archives still be intact even if lion did some mail restructure??
thanks
Bob

Update... Thanks for bearing w/me... I found the missing messages in time machine and recovered them
I found that sent emails did have a gap... they were all gone for a period of a couple months... from the time I archived, on my mac, and swtiched to imap thru about a month ago are gone... They had deleted from the server even though settings say don't delete... I'll watch to make sure they aren't deleting still... maybe I had some setting back a month ago that caused deletion?? I"m still learning about this imap stuff.

How to get attachments in mac mail

attachments and sometime pics not coming through on emails

is there anyway to uninstall mail and then reinstall it?
would it be worth doing to solve problem?

Deleting old attachments in mac mail

i have multiple email accounts and receive hundreds of emails everyday. a lot of the emails contain attachments which i don't really need to keep. how do i free up space in my hard drive by removing attachments of the emails already in my computer? i've tried highlighting the hundreds of emails and then clicking "remove attachments" but it doesn't seem to work. what's weird is that i start seeing outgoing and incoming mails as pop ups.

I've found that in Mtn Lion (v. 10.8.5 at present) when I search my hard drive for all jpeg files (just one example) a lot of the found items are not in a folder but rather show as being in Mail. While it IS possible to delete the jpeg manually from the hard drive, freeing up many GBs of space, I would prefer not to have them on my hard drive in the first place. Some of these attachments are from POP mailboxes, not IMAP. I do know how to stop the storage with my IMAP accounts, just not with the POP ones.
If I can't stop the POP attachments from being automatically stored, I'd like to be abie to open their location on the hard drive and delete them as a group, rather than one at a time. I'm fairly sure I've read somewhere how to access the innards of an app but for the life of me I can't remember how. I've tried every key-command combination I can think of but nothing takes me to the "folder" in which the attachments are stored. Is this even possible?

I can`t open attachments in Mac Mail

I have trouble to open almost every office or .pdfs files using the version of Mac OS X (10.7.4). It says the files may be damaged.
I have Office 2011.
Does anyone has a clue?

I have a Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.5) bought in July 2008 will open office work?
Yes. NeoOffice, suggested by another poster, is pretty well the same, but may run more slowly: OpenOffice in its latest version runs directly on Leopard (rather than requiring X11 like its earlier versions). It will allow you to edit and save the documents in a MS-compatible format should you require this. Both programs are free.

I can't drag and drop (download) attachments in Mac Mail

The attachment, a PDF, will get stuck to the cursor for about 1 minute. Have to do a force quit. This is beyond a major headache. I have even tried right-clicking and doing a copy / paste. Seems like it won't copy to the clipboard (or whatever the Mac lingo is for that?)
Mid 12 MPB, 10.9.2
Thanks,

Hi thebunnyrules, I'm glad you've resolved your problem, but please be mindful of old topics and don't necrobump.

Audio and Video Attachments in Mac Mail Acting Up Since 10.4.11 Upgrade

Since I upgraded to 10.4.11, mp3 attachments are acting weird, as well as .mov files. They look extra small and they duplicate on the email (when clicked on and dragged). But if that's any consolation, the email looks ok (as well as the attachments) once it is received.
Hopefully, a fix is on the way from Apple.
Please reply if anyone knows a temporary fix for this issue.

There's another thread about the same issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5931397#5931397
You can comment on that one too... the more the merrier.
Hopefully, Apple will fix this one quickly.

Hi, my colleague and I are on go daddy IMAP accounts using Mail.
We have the problem whereby when we open an email (with attachment) on our iPhones first, then the attachment has disappeared when we view the same message in Mail on our macs.
I hav contacted go daddy and they say it's a Mac/Mail issue.
Any ideas on how we can solve this?
