Outgoing email attachments

when I add a photo attachment (jpeg) to an outgoing email, does Apple mail automatically compress it, or is it sent as the size it was when I attached it. thanks joanlvh

No email client such as the Mail.app automatically compresses attachments but attachments must be encoded before being sent which is done automatically by the email client.
The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for attachment encoding/decoding which is the internet standard.
The encoding process increases the size of the pre-encoded file and MIME isn't very efficient in this regard. MIME encoding increases the size of the pre-encoded file by roughly 50% or so. As an example, a pre-encoded file size of 5 MB will be roughly 7.5 MB in size after the encoding process.
To confirm this, check the size of a file to be attached to a message before adding the file as an attachment to a new message without any text. After attaching the file to the message, the message size is provided at the bottom left of the message window. The size of the message without any text will be larger (roughly 50% larger) than the size of the pre-encoded file.

How do I save to outgoing email attachments folder in 8 as I did in 5?

I just upgraded from PSE 5 to PSE 8 and I use Incredimail, not Outlook. In PSE 5 there was an option to save outgoing email attachments to a folder for subsequent manual attachment to my email message. The online help seems to suggest this as the solution as well. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to set this up in PSE 8. In prefrences, the only options are Outlook, Outlook Express and Adobe Email Service. When I go through the routine of sending an email through Outlook (which is installed on my computer but which my wife does not use), the attachment can be found in a very deeply rooted Temp subdirectory. In PSE 5 I could cause it to be saved in a subdirectory under My Pictures/Adobe directory sorted by date of creation of email attachment. Can anyone please advise how to accomplish this in PSE 8? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's an application by application feature/standard that they need to adhere to. I have no problem with Photoshop doing what you describe. Check your Photoshop Preferences. Does this happen in every application?

Why are my outgoing email attachments being compressed?

How do I stop my outgoing email photo attachments from being compressed when they arrive at their destination? I send a photo at 3.0MB and the client receives a 98KB size. Is there a particular photo format that does not compress? I am usng Mountain Lion with an iMac. All photos are processed with Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and Graphic Converter 8.5.1.
I have reviewed all system, mail and third-party preferences to make sure nothing is checked to "adjust for web", or the like. Your thoughts will be much appreciated to help solve this vexing mystery.

Be sure the Image Size pop-up at the upper right corner of the message body, after attaching a picture, is set to "Actual Size".

None of the commands (eg attachments) on the insert bar for outgoing emails is working - what can I do? Thanks, Drummond

I suddenly cannot insert attachments to outgoing emails in Windows Live Hotmail. If I click on attachments or any other tool in the insert bar, nothing happens. My wife's hot mail account on the same computer, using the same version of Firefox, works fine; my account works fine when I use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. How can I fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

"Insert" functions, attachments, photos , etc. on outgoing emails do not activate

I am unable to attach documents, photos, etc. to outgoing emails. When I click on the "insert" icons nothing happens.

Thanks for the clarification.
You used the term right click on it to download instead of right click on it to save the attached file outside of the message which are very different things.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML or I should say can be HTML but certain things must occur in order for HTML to be implemented with a sent message.
Regardless the message font and size chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors, you must select a font and size via the font panel when composing a message or use bold, italics, underline for selected text or changing text color, etc. If you are using a signature that was composed with RTF or HML with a different font, size and/or color than is used in the message body or contains an image or logo, etc. Forwarding a message that was composed in HTML and the same when replying to a received message that was composed in HTML if you have "Use the same message format as the original message" selected for composing preferences at Mail > Preferences > Composing.
Any or all or a combination of any of these will send a message as HTML.
Depending on the Outlook and Windows version used by a recipient, Outlook has had some problems with Mail's RTF. There is no email client that is completely bug free and Outlook has plenty of bugs for such an old/mature email client and MS also makes the arrogant assumption that the majority of people that exchange email are using Outlook or OE and should be if not.
So long story short, using Plain Text for message composition can and does make a difference.

How can I add a privacy statement to my outgoing emails, below my signature?

I'm a therapist and need to have a privacy statement/disclaimer below my signature on my outgoing emails...something like the following:
STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVILEGE
The contents of this e-mail (including its attachments) are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information. Any other distribution, copying or disclosure is strictly prohibited. Email is not a secure medium of communication and should not be used for transmitting private and confidential information.
How do I add this?? thanks, Karen

You can set up multiple signatures and select the appropriate one. Or use stationery where the signature and disclaimer are part of the template document. Or use a text clippings tool to insert ready-to-go frequently used snippets such as your disclaimer text. Many users make use of such a tool in lieu of a prepared signature.

Adding / Positioning Email attachments MAIL 7.3

Recently upgraded to MAVERICK 10.9.3 along with MAIL 7.3. Have a problem positioning attachments inside outgoing emails.
Whenever I select an attachment it always ends up at the very end of the email. In previous versions of Apple Email the attachment would be placed starting where the cursor was positioned just before selecting the attached "paper clip" icon. It is only a slight annoyance.
Just wondering if there was a new trick or command that places attachments where one intends them to be.
Thanks,
John L.

Hey brianfromlydney,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have already attempted the suggestion in the following resource, however I wanted to provide it to you anyway as it links to a great Microsoft support document:

Slow Outgoing Email after 10.5.4

Two weeks ago, I downloaded and installed the OS 10.5.4 Upgrade. Since I upgraded, the outgoing email on both my user account and on my wife's user account take between 27 and 37 seconds to go out, even if they are one-word messages with no attachments. I have spoken with my ISP and tried sending an email using Thunderbird. It shoots out a message in about a second - just like Mail used to do, so the ISP isn't at fault! Using Mail, the message does go out - eventually!
Trashing my own mail plist wouldn't account for the fact that this Mail slowdown is global on our Mac.
When I run Activity Monitor with Mail, I see that Mail is trying to handshake with my ISP for most of the time, but when the handshake has been made, the message goes out immediately.
I have no problem receiving email promptly and my Internet upload and download speeds are just fine. I have fixed permissions, but that does nothing.
Everything points an accusing finger at Mail after the 10.5.4 Upgrade.
Before I do an Erase and Install of Leopard, does anybody have a possible solution?

I was also observing an inordinate delay for sending Mail messages, which led me to this thread. Thank you for offering the solution to manually add the DNS addresses to the computer's System Preferences. That did the trick for me.
In my case, I located these two IP addresses (primary and secondary) in my router, which in turn had retrieved them from the ISP as a function of DHCP. I wonder if earlier versions of Apple's O/S populated these values in System Preferences or whether this behavior has more to do with changes (or a bug) in Mail itself.

Why can't I attach documents and photos to my outgoing emails in Windows live hotmail

Ever since the new version of Windows live hotmail has been downloaded on my computer, the only way I can attach documents and photos to outgoing emails is thru Internet explorer without any add ons and even this was not easy. I used to be able to attach with no problems and now I cannot and I really need to be able to do this. I send alot of emails with attachments. Every time I try to attach a document it gives me an error message. It just says error nothing else. Please help!!!!

Hi
Pages saves its files as a small package, not a single file. You will have to compress it first (think it's called Create Archive but can't be sure). You could do File>Export & choose .doc which would save it as a Word document & then attach it to the email (some formatting may be lost).

Outgoing email very slow

Outgoing email is very slow. Happened suddenly with no changes being made to the Thunderbird account. Have checked with server (Execulink telecom) and we have no problems sending directly from their web mail site. Takes almost 30 seconds to send an email with no attachments.

Sounds like you might have anti-virus software scanning the email before it is sent.
If this is the case then, try switching off the scanning to see if this improves performance.
It is also possible that your Sent folder has become very large.
Archive old sent emails, delete those you do not want, then right click on Sent folder and select 'Compact'.

TS3276 I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it. Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

Windows 8, Firefox email client. What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files. Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.
