PDFs don't show up in Mail?!

Hi. I'm using Mail 4.4. Whenever I receive PDF attachments, I can't open them properly, they open using textedit and the characters are all gibberish. But when I go into my actual gmail account the PDFs open normally. How do I fix this? Thanks!

You’re missing that tinkering with the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder is not the same as importing messages into Mail.
Mail 2.x keeps a reference to every message in a file called Envelope Index. You cannot tinker with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/ without taking Envelope Index into consideration and expect that to work. The right way to import mailboxes into Mail is doing File > Import Mailboxes.
That said, you may be able to fix the problem by rebuilding the affected mailbox, i.e. select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

  • Mail imported into INBOX.mbox don't show up in Mail InBox

    I had to use another Mac while getting a newer iMAC, and I saved all the mail on that folder, networked the two computers, and dragged the mail into the Library/Mail/pop-server.../INBOX.mbox/Messages.
    I can see the messages that I had on the iMAC originally, and now I've dropped in the messages into the same folder. I can open each one individually if I want in that Messages folder, but even after restart, they don't show up in my Mail InBox.
    What am I missing?

  • Google calendar event invites don't show up in Mail. Why?

    I use Google calendar and my wife uses Apple Mail and iCal. When I send meeting requests from Google calendar to her, they never arrives in Apple Mail (either in the inbox nor in the junk mail folder). Meeting requests I send her never make it into iCal because she doesn't have the opportunity to either accept or reject them because they don't arrive in Apple Mail. Everyone else I send meeting requests to get them. Why don't they show up in Apple Mail?

    Sounds like more of a question for the Mail experts. Once the file is added to the Mail message it's not really anything to do with iPhoto.

  • Pop accounts don't show up in mail window

    I have one email account that is IMAP and two Pop accounts.  The IMAP shows up in the email window but the POPs don't. All showed up before today and no changes have been made.  How do i get the POP accounts to show up again?

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

    Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

    What is your operating system?
    Open a PDF from where?  If online, in what browser?

  • Some contact e-mails don't show up in groups

    Yosemite 10.10.2 OS. Contacts v 9. Macbook Air. I just finished dragging some contacts into a group to use for sending group e-mails. When I go to edit distribution list so I can select which e-mail address from each contact I want to set as default, there are a few contacts who are missing some or all of their addresses. I have checked the contacts email addresses and they are all properly formated [email protected], but for some reason they are not on the list. For contacts with no e-mails showing in the distribution list, they not only do not allow me to select a default e-mail, but those contacts don't show up in the e-mail at all

    Never mind. Just found the place to change this under settings. What's weird is the setting got changed on its own somehow but weirder things have certainly happened...

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • Addresses in mail don't show all that are in Address Book?

    I have about 25 names listed in a group in Address Book. When I access this group in Mail, only 8 are shown. Any ideas how I can get all 25 as they used to show up in Mail and now don't.

    Same here... When I receive invitations in mail (from either Outlook or other iCal users), the "automatically retrieve invitations from mail" no longer works since upgrading to leopard. Works on my wife's system, however.
    Also noticed that sending invitations to other users running Outlook no longer works if they are in the Outlook client, but works if they are using the web interface to exchange. Very strange.
    So close to making the Mac able to play nice with the office, but yet so far... I am not going to pay $400.00 for Office 2008 for Mac either.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Exchange Account in Mail - lot's of email don't show up

    Hi
    I have some confusing experiences Mail with my exchange email account (hosted as an exchange account by the German hosting Provider 1&1) - which worked fine for a long time.
    Recently I experienced the following effects:
    Email don't show. They are not lost. If I use a web browser to access my account with the Outlook Web App, all email are there. Mail shows always the most recent emails (from about one month) but not more.
    If I switch between different email accounts in Mail (I also manage imap accounts and my .me account in Mail) and then back to the exchange account all or most email don't show anymore. If I close and reopen Mail the most recent emails show up again.
    It's not a matter of disk space (about 400 GB free), I did the usual stuff like disk repair and check permissions.
    I'm thankful for any ideas.
    Best

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Barcodes don't show up in PDF format

    Hi Tim, Everyone...
    Well recently I started the testing to print barcodes in the documents and reports where we need them.
    I did all the needed set up (Tim, your posts for Barcodes 101 and 102 are very helpful): I upload the font, set the family fonts... I even set in the template properties my fonts and all.
    HOWEVER... when I try the PDF version, the barcodes don't show up... for EXCEL, HTML, etc, they do, but no for PDF.
    Any thoughts about what could be going on?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Something to check is that the Font Family Name in the Font Administration when you create the font in XMLP, MUST BE exactly the same as the name of the font when it is selected in MS Word. If it is not, then XMLP will not know what font to pick up.
    Please check that this is correct in your situation.
    Kind Regards,
    Cj
