Multipart/alternative in email.app

Hello, i want to read my emails ONLY in text version, for this reason a lot of companies sent the emails in multipart/alternative format but i dont know how to read the emails ONLY in TEXT format.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

i think what you have is standard - It's not the same as the Gmail app - Have you tried the official M/S email app for Hotmail

AOL stripping pdf from "multipart/alternative" text email

Hi! I am using MYOB AccountEdge and it has a function within the program to send out statements as pdf attachments to a text email. As of the beginning of this year, AOL is stripping off the pdf attachment, but the text email goes through. Last year, no problem - the attachments were received.
I can send the attachment to the AOL accounts successfully if I attach it to a new text mail message from the mac Mail program.
In examining the Long Headers, it appears the only difference, I can see is that the email where the pdf attachment is stripped is "multipart/alternative" and the email where is goes through is "multipart/mixed".
As the MYOB program seems to send through Mail, at least the sent message shows up in the Sent folder, is there a way to force "multipart/mixed" through a command in Terminal? Or do I need to continue to do battle with MYOB?
Anyone else having pdf's stripped when sending a "multipart/alternative" text email to AOL?
Thanks for any help/ideas.
Peter Truce

Thanks for the help, Ernie. I did note that sometimes, not today, the message would take a very long time to get to my test AOL account - perhaps 12 hours, but it would eventually show up.
Of course not all of my customers use AOL and everyone else is receiving the statement emails correctly. Just AOL clients and usually they are using a PC, curiously. I have one client with a Mac who is getting them OK on her AOL account.
The brush image has been there for say, 5 years? Hopefully that is not the problem as I really, really like the brush.
I do agree with what you are suggesting: This is a MYOB problem and MYOB will have to solve it. But thanks for identifying the thing. I will be hopping on the Tech Support Desk tomorrow - can't get through by phone on Mondays usually.

Is it possible to create a multipart/alternative in a multipart/mixed email

Hi,
does somebody know how can I build a multipart/mixed email in which one of the parts is a multipart/alternative on its own? I cannot figure it out.
Multipart has addBodyPart(BodyPart part) to add parts, but the added part cannot be a multipart from what I see, am I missing something?
thanks in advance

multipart/mixed.

The Same message is in text as well as HTML so not sure how to read it .
currently my program is as follows
for (int i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
Message m = found;
// Get some headers
Date date = m.getSentDate();
Address [] from = m.getFrom();
String subj = m.getSubject();
String mimeType = m.getContentType();
System.out.println(date + "\t" + from[0] + "\t" +
subj + "\t" + mimeType);
Object o = m.getContent();
if (o instanceof String) {
System.out.println("**This is a String Message**");
System.out.println((String)o);
} else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.print("**This is a Multipart Message. ");
Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
int count3 = mp.getCount();
System.out.println("It has " + count3 +
" BodyParts in it**");
for (int j = 0; j < count3; j++) {
// Part are numbered starting at 0
BodyPart b = mp.getBodyPart(j);
String mimeType2 = b.getContentType();
System.out.println( "BodyPart " + (j + 1) +
" is of MimeType " + mimeType);
Object o2 = b.getContent();
if (o2 instanceof String) {
System.out.println("**This is a String BodyPart**");
System.out.println((String)o2);
} else if (o2 instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.print(
"**This BodyPart is a nested Multipart. ");
Multipart mp2 = (Multipart)o2;
int count2 = mp2.getCount();
System.out.println("It has " + count2 +
"further BodyParts in it**");
} else if (o2 instanceof InputStream) {
System.out.println(
"**This is an InputStream BodyPart**");
} //End of for
} else if (o instanceof InputStream) {
System.out.println("***********************************This is an InputStream message**");
InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
/* if(m.getContentType().equalsIgnoreCase("multipart/alternative")) {
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
// Assumes character content (not binary images)
} else {*/
BufferedReader reader
=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String thisLine=reader.readLine();
while (thisLine!=null) {
System.out.println(thisLine);
thisLine=reader.readLine();
So when the Content TYpe is multipart/alternative it goes into InputStream message .
any help and ideas to handel such situations ?
Thanks

Try reposting that with tags (replace the {'s with ['s).
Long story short, I think the FAQ and examples would go a long way towards explaining this, but you basically can check the content type, or check if the content contains parts, and parse each part separately.

I let my students use my IPAD for different Apps. I was wondering if there was any way to lock my email app or sign into it before it opens. Suggestions?

There is no way to lock the built-in email app. You can remove the password from the Mail, Calendars, Contacts settings, but you'd have to readd and remove that every time, probably not very practical. There are third-party apps that have a login feature within the app, so one of those might work for you. Or you can just use a web interface to your email, if your provider offers that, though many web interfaces don't work very well with mobile web browsers.
Alternatively, if your students just use a single app at any given time, you can lock the iPad to that app via Guided Access:

Scan-to-email app

Which printer does support the scan-to-email app?
I discovered the photosmart 5510 doesn't support what are the alternatives?

Hi,
Only the latest printers (Late 2012) support the Scan-to-Email app.
The Photosmart 5520 as example provide this feature:

Attachments in a "multipart/alternative" message

Hello,
I am having some problems with including attachments. I have followed the instructions provided in http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/archive/74/ which work well for simple emails. However, I am trying to construct emails with multiple "parts" (eg, text and html and attachments).
If I follow the attachment example listed above, I would create my MimeMultipart with a parameterless constructor as follows:
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
According to the JavaMail documenation, this creates a "multipart/mixed" message by default. This is fine, and the attachment is included in the message as expected. However, because I am creating multiple parts (with different content-types), I also get my HTML part as an attachment!
I can fix this but using the alternative constructor for the MimeMultipart, and by creating a "multipart/alternative" message as follows:
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
... This gives me (what appears to be) the correct structure, ie I have a text part and an HTML part, but I lose my attachment!
When I create an email manually using (for example) Microsoft Outlook Express, it seems to create a "multipart/mixed" email, which contains a "multipart/alternative" part, which in turn contains the text and html parts. I am fairly sure this is what I need to do, but I am not sure how to do it with JavaMail.
Any ideas?

Works well with one minor exception: I had to set subtype for the root type to "related". With "mixed" the images wouldn't show.
Here's my code if someone wants another sample:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
//headers
message.setSubject("Brmbl");
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
//add related mutip-part for root
MimeMultipart multipartRoot = new MimeMultipart("related");
MimeBodyPart contentRoot = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeMultipart multipartAlt = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
//alternative message
BodyPart messageBodyPart;
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String txt = "Hello you, who don't like html, here is some text only message for you";
messageBodyPart.setContent(txt,"text/plain");
multipartAlt.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String htmlText = "<h1>Hello</h1> there, click this <a href=http://www.java.com><img src=\"cid:mememe\"> </a> to see about Mars.";
messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText,"text/html");
multipartAlt.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//Hierarchy
contentRoot.setContent(multipartAlt);
multipartRoot.addBodyPart(contentRoot);
//add a part for the image
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fds = new FileDataSource("h:/button.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
messageBodyPart.setHeader("Content-ID", "<mememe>");
messageBodyPart.setFileName(fds.getName());
multipartRoot.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//attach a pdf
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
fds = new FileDataSource("h:/document.pdf");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(fds.getName());
multipartRoot.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//add multipart to the message
message.setContent(multipartRoot);
//send message
message.setSentDate(new Date());
Transport.send(message);

Nokia 1020 - email app issues

The app does not show the email headers properly e.g. the From: header is not visible unless you click on the top line (the one in extremely thick font, evidently designed for nearly blind people) and then it shows it.
This means that you cannot identify spam - because all you see is the email body which always looks "right". You have to click on every email's top line and check if the From: address makes sense.
Is there any config for this, or is there another email app which works in a simpler clearer way AND which gets used in the Share / Email context too?
Most smartphones have alternative email apps even though in most cases they will not replace the default app in the "Send To" context.
The other thing is that the 1020's email app always downsizes images to about 300k in size, so they always end up poor quality - much too poor for seeing on a PC. Where is the config for this?
I have spent 2 days setting up the phone and despite being a software developer for 35 years I cannot find any of these config facilities.

Is there really no 3rd party email app for the 1020?

Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
Following is a list of things I tried:
1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
Works without a glitch, push enabled
2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

UPDATE:
After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts. It used to but just opens up a blank screen. Any suggestions?
Also Safari doesn't open up anything either, but used to.

try restarting the app
Normally double tap the 'home' button
all the active apps will pop up at the bottom
hold an app
once the '-' symbol appears release then find the 'hung' apps by scrolling and click the '-' symbol
click the home key
then click on mail/safari and see if that helps

Since updating to iOS 6.0.1, email app will not open and other problems.

Help! Since updating my phone to iOS 6.0.1, my email app will not open, my email/contacts/calendar settings will not open, my touchscreen is unresponsive, my battery is draining in two hours time, and my delete button only works one letter at a time (can't hold down to delete easily). I've done a soft reset and I've restored twice to no avail. This is a MAJOR problem! I'm not wanting to pay for the apple care since this may result in upgrading to the iPhone 5 (last option) and the closest apple store is an hour and a half from me.

This seems to be a common problem.
I am suffering too!
It would seem to be very shoddy from apple to allow such problems.
Not the first issue since upgrade to iOS 6.....think home button problems.
Has anybody got news of a fix?

Why BlackBerry 10 doesn't have an Email app?

I am surprised that BlackBerry 10 doesn't have a separate Email app.
I know what is the first answer: There is the BlackBerry Hub. Use that!
But then why is there an App for BBM when that is also in the Hub?
The second strange thing is that there is an icon for SMS, but that's not a separate app. It is link to the BlackBerry Hub SMS tab. So there are three types of notifications in the Hub: One that have a separate app (BBM, Phone, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), one that have an app link (SMS), and one that has nothing (Email, Notifications, PIN). This could be confusing...
Personally I only would like to use the Hub to see all of the notifications I have received. Now when I write an Email I accidentally leave the Hub on the Email tab. After when I receive a Facebook message I cannot see who wrote me because I left the Hub on the Email tab.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey mishi,
Thanks for the post.
I appreciate the feedback on the seperate email application. I will pass on this feedback.
In the meantime BlackBerry Hub is used to send and receive emails and i'm not sure if there will be a seperate icon in the near future.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

I have been hacked on my email account and had to change my passwords .tried to go direct to my email app on my ipad but it wont let me into my emails because i have changed my email passwords.How do I change my password on the ipad to get into my email

Can anyone tell me how to change my password on my ipad to access my email app as now that I have changed my passwords for my email account I cant access my app with my new password and do I need to do this on the computer rather than the ipad?

Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap on the account that you want to change on the right-hand side and if it's an IMAP type account then tap on the Account line at the top and one of the fields that you then get should be Passwords

How can I get a search bar added when trying to archieve emails in my IPhone's email app?

My IPhone email app is connected to my Outlook email system in which I have many archieved folders, when I want to place an email in my archieved folders on my IPhone I have to scroll a long list of archieved folders to find the right one, how can I get a search bar added to find it easier? My colleague' s Samsung has that function already and can't believe that Apple can be behind Samsung on this.

You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:

For future reference, you will not get responses from Apple to any question you ask in these forums. We're all just fellow users here.
