Problem synchronizing attachments from Gmail.

Hi folks,
I got a new Macbook Pro, and have set it up with my Gmail (through IMAP). Everything appears fine - all messages are in the inbox, and I can send and receive mail just fine.
However, attachments have not been downloaded.
If I turn Airport off, I can view messages offline - but without their attachments. If I turn the Airport back on, I can open a message and it will download the attachment in the background.
How can I tell mail.app to do a full sync of the mailbox, including attachments?
Thanks,
David.

Any chance of an update on how you solved it?

  • Computer shuts down when opening attachments from Gmail in Chrome

    Hi everyone,
    I've been having an issue when downloading file attachments from Gmail--namely image files, though I haven't tried anything else. My computer keeps shutting down!
    I'm running OSX Lion on a Macbook Pro with 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    The issues have persisted for several weeks now, following my upgrade to Lion. Could you offer any advice?
    Regards,
    Jim

    It seems that this is the good old "I think it's 64bit" error. It tries to install 64bit components on your 32bit system. This specifically comes down to some DLLs on your system being missing or the wrong version, possibly even a hardware driver returning some false info (processor controlelr etc.) I'd check Windows Update and verify the SP2 is installed correctly. Also make sure your MSVC 2008 runtime and possibly .NET 1.1 are isntalled correctly. Verify in your device manager that the CPU is detected correctly and Windows isn't running in some sort of compatibility mode. if there came a specific set of drivers with your motehrboard, installing them alone might fix a lot of things, as then you actualyl may also see Windows Update install some components for the first time that may be missing currently...

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem downloading attachments in Gmail

    Hello,
    I'm developing an application that sends mails with attachments from one gmail account to another gmail account and then I download those mails. The problem is that I can check the mails via pop3 and print their envelopes and that stuff but when I get the attachment via the dataHandler and getInputStream the message disappears from the message count and it's not possible to download it again, although if I enter to the gmail account the message is not even checked as read.
    Can you help me? Thanks.

    Ok so here it is the code for fetching mails with pop3. If I comment the "element.getDataHandler().getInputStream()" the mail doesn't disappear but then I can't get the attachment.
    public void connect() throws Exception {
              String SSL_FACTORY = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";
              Properties pop3Props = new Properties();
              pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
              pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
              pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.port", "995");
              pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", "995");
              pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.rsetbeforequit", "true");
              URLName url = new URLName("pop3", "pop.gmail.com", 995, "", this.username, this.password);
              this.session = Session.getInstance(pop3Props, null);
              this.store = new POP3SSLStore(this.session, url);
              this.store.connect();
    public void openFolder(String folderName) throws Exception {
              // Open the Folder
              this.folder = this.store.getDefaultFolder();
              this.folder = this.folder.getFolder(folderName);
              if (this.folder == null) {
                   throw new Exception("Invalid folder");
              // try to open read/write and if that fails try read-only
              try {
                   this.folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
              } catch (MessagingException ex) {
                   this.folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
    public void saveAttachment(String messageSubject, String path, String fileName) throws Exception {
    Message[] msgs = this.folder.getMessages();
              // Use a suitable FetchProfile
              FetchProfile fp = new FetchProfile();
              fp.add(FetchProfile.Item.ENVELOPE);
              this.folder.fetch(msgs, fp);
              for (Message element : msgs) {
                   if (element.getSubject().equals(messageSubject)){
                        System.out.println("MESSAGE " + element.getSubject() + ": Found! :)");
                        saveFile(path + fileName, element.getDataHandler().getInputStream());
                        break;
      public static void saveFile(String filename,
               InputStream input) throws IOException {
             if (filename == null) {
               filename = File.createTempFile("xx", ".out").getName();
             // Do no overwrite existing file
             File file = new File(filename);
             for (int i=0; file.exists(); i++) {
               file = new File(filename+i);
             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
             BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
             BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(input);
             int aByte;
             while ((aByte = bis.read()) != -1) {
               bos.write(aByte);
             bos.flush();
             bos.close();
             bis.close();

  • Problems opening attachments from outlook

    This week I have been unable to open attachments from Outlook 2010. I use Firefox as my browser and for some reason when I click on an attachment it is downloaded into Firefox. This has only just started to happen. If I try to open a PDF document I would
    expect it to just open as a PDF rather than a Firefox download. How can I resolve this issue?

    Hi Tweek,
    Might be you are working with disabled attachment preview option. Follow the given path and turn on it: 
    File >> Options >> Trust Center >> Trust Center Settings (under Microsoft Outlook Trust Center) >> Attachment Handling
    If the above solution does not help, then change the default program for opening attachment. Make a right click on the PDF Document and select
    “Open With” option. Choose the default program and set it to as
    “Always the selected program to open this kind of file”.
    Source:

    Feel free to response back for further response!!!
    Note: Make sure that Adobe Acrobat should be installed in your machine. 
    Thanks

  • Mail 4.5 corrupts PDF attachments from gmail (while outlook 2011 doesnt)

    I have a gmail account with scanned documents.
    I add this account to in Mail and then some of the PDFs are damaged and can not be corrected. The interesting matter is that via web-access and Outlook 2011 there is not a problem.
    I have tried many different solutions I could find on the web incl. here. From deleting the mailboxes to deleting the cache-files. Ultimately I deleted the whole mail app (incl. lib files with CleanMyMac), reinstalling and reinstalling the combo.
    After adding the account the last time, I minimized the window, till all activity was finished and everything cashed etc.
    I opened mail and again the same problem.
    Additional remarks: There are many attachments with the same name, because they were send by a HP Office machine. Some have a problem most don't I would estimate the problem is in 10% of the mails.
    Again via Web-access and Outlook 2011 all attachments are correct.
    I could use Outlook, their calendar doesn't sync with gmail and I also don't like how outlook is handling (and messing-up) my v.cards .
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    The IMAP setting to Keep copies of messages and their attachments has little impact unless not connected to the internet and wanting to work Offline. If connected to the internet, and you click on a message, it will be downloaded, even if not already so by virtue of this setting. If not selected to Keep copies . . . and attachments, then you will be subject to the goodness of the internet connection at that moment. I am only partially keeping abreast of your investigations, but it may be that transmission is muddled at certain times?
    I didn't actually try reading the messages without an internet connection. When I had the account in the default "message+attachment" option, the attachments tended to stay on the server. When I switched to "message, no attachment", the attachments were always downloaded. That sure sounds like the opposite of what I would have expected. I've never used the "message, no attachment" setting so that is new to me.
    But I may be missing a step in the sequence of things you have found out. Do you have any reason to think that in the message cache created by selecting Keep copies . . . something could be altering files?
    I know that if the Mailbox index gets corrupted, it can cause attachments to be lost - at least temporarily. When I do testing with a local mail server, sometimes the timing is off (too fast maybe) and the message is almost always corrupted. Rebuilding the mailbox fixes it.
    My initial theory was that the HP devices were spitting out bad MIME messages and that gmail was fixing them. Now I think that gmail IMAP just flakes out every so often with these big files. There could be other explanations too. The PDF was just truncated. I don't think a bug in Apple Mail is a likely possibility.

  • Can't open photo attachments from Gmail through Safari - Ipad2 ios7.1

    I have an ipad2, running ios7.1
    If I try to open a photo attachment from www.gmail.com (in Safari, not Mail app) it causes my ipad to hang.
    Here's what happens for a 2mb test jpg I just sent myself:
    1. Open email in Safari
    2. Click on the thumbnail or photo.jpg hyperlink at bottom of message
    3. A new tab opens in sarari, pointing to mail-attachment.googleusecontent.com
    4. The progress bar moves between 30 to 70 % of the way across and then hangs. It never fully loads
    5. The ipad is no longer responsive, you can't close safari
    6. All other apps hang or become super slow
    This is very frustrating and I regret updating to the latest ios. I've tried restarting and cleaning my cache/history etc and it makes no difference to the problem.
    What's the fix please? Thanks

    Thanks, but doesn't really help the situation, which is that safari can't open my pictures for some reason. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

  • How do I save attachments from gmail app?

    Okay I am stumped! For the life of me, I can't figure out how to save attachments that come through my gmail app. Specifically 3gp videos and documents files. It was a while ago, but I think I was able to do pictures. This is happening on both the Eris and the Aria. Latest gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you!  Thank you!  I have the video I needed to download on my phone now!

  • 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.

  • How to download attachments excel file from gmail

    You can't download attachments with an email account via webmail access using a browser.
    You can view attachments in a received email when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app and you can save photo attachments to the iPhone's Camera Roll and save PDF attachments to the iBooks app, but all other attachments such as a Word or Excel document can be viewed only.

  • Can't email .pages attachments in gmail

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot email .pages attachments in Google mail. I've been reading that other people are experiencing this problem but everything I've found is from late 2013. Just wondering if there is a fix or workaround to this.
    Thank you.

    If a person uses Apple's native Mail App that came on the Mac or iOS devices...then is will send attachments of the newest "Mavericks" versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. If a person tries to do this from within a Web Browser it doesn't seem to work (as I've recently tested from information from of our churches staff who only use the Web Interface). So, I'm not sure if Google changed something with thier Web Browser version recently or not, since I've always used the native Mail App on all my Macs and iOS devices.
    So, there used to be a problem sending attachments from within the Mail App several months ago...but that was fixed by Apple (again several months ago).
    Hope that helps...
    I highly recommend using the built in Mail App (Email Client).
    Multiple Email Accounts:
    An Email Client allows multiple email accounts from different email providers to all be used simultaneous in one simple to use interface without any problematic POP forwarding settings or delayed delivery problems. i.e. It will gather and display email from Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, AOL, Microsoft Exchange or any other email provider.
    Accounts can still be viewed separately or all together:
    All email accounts can still be viewed separately or all together with a click of the mouse or a tap of the screen, again without any forwarding settings. i.e. It's great for keeping personal and/or work accounts separate, and it also allows multiple signatures which helps relay professionalism, consistency and saves a little typing, too.
    Select Multiple Messages:
    A person can select multiple messages (even from different email accounts or email providers), and move, copy, delete, or even forward them all at the same time with a single action.
    Work Offline:
    It allows a person to continue working offline. i.e. no matter if Wi-Fi or the internet goes down or is unavailable in a certain area.
    Advanced Rules and Filtering Based on Multiple Factors:
    A person can set rules or advanced rules and filtering based on multiple factors (words, senders, subjects, headers, etc.)
    Quick Look:
    And, if you’re on a Mac, you can used features like "Quick Look" to view full Microsoft Office or Apple iWorks (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote) documents right inside your Mail App.
    No Extra Apps to Download:
    As it's already pre-installed on all Apple computers and iOS devices, so it's one less App to download or maintain.
    Mac and iOS Versions Both Work Similarly:
    Both the desktop and mobile versions work very similarly.
    Easy to Maintain:
    Apple automatically maintains it with each System Update, which is great for security, too.
    Attachments are Easy (with less importing/exporting):
    Working with attachments is super easy without any external importing or exporting (for example: items can be imported and exported directly to and from iPhoto, Contacts, Calendars etc. without any duplication).
    It takes full advantage of the built in systemwide OS X / iOS features that popup:
    Spell Checker
    User Learned Spell Checker
    Dictation and Speak Selection
    Full Thesaurus (no internet required)
    Full built in Oxford Dictionary (no internet required)
    Wikipedia (on demand with an internet or data plan connection)

  • Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

    We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

    When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
    We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
    Hope this helps.
