Problem with Mail with attachments when sent to PC's

I am having problems when I send mail from Apple Mail with an attachment from my machine to a PC machine. I use the attach tab at the top, and I choose Windows friendly attachments. But for some reason when my recipient gets my message there is no attachment attached to the message. Is there something I am doing wrong? My recipients have there mail application set up all right, but for some reason they have issues with my messages which are meant to have attachments.

I also have this problem, when sending jpg's to a PC who is running outlook, and have their own MS mail server in-house.
When my mail arrives in her inbox, the attachments are embedded in the email, and when she right clicks they are called "Untitled" even though when I sent them, then had file names with .jpg extension.
And yes I have windows friendly on.
Any ideas anyone?

Problem sending mail with attachments???

Hi Everybody,
I have got a problem sending mail with attachments...
I am able to send a plain mail ... but when i am trying to send mail along with an attachment ... its not being sent....
its not showing any error it is simply hanging...
what should i do?
If u know any solns please do suggest me....
Thanks in advance

activation.jar is already there...
initially i wrote a swing program as a front end and it was working abs fine... in my sense it was properly sending mails along with the attachments...
when i changed the front-end to JSP handled by Servlets i am getting a problem...
and even the swing program stopped working ...
now swing program is getting compiled but it is hanging at run time showing an exception "Exception occured during event dispatching"
i dont understand what probably may be the problem...
if u can trace out, please give me any suggestions
Thanks in advance and regards

Problem with mail .mp3 attachments

I can't figure out how to fix a lock up with mail when I try to attach an .mp3 file in mail 7.1 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Whenever I try to attach an .mp3 by dragging or using the "paperclip" I get a green + "copy" sign and then the beach ball, which never goes away. It is only a problem on my macbook pro. My iMac has the same versions and is just fine. I only have noticed problems with .mp3 files. I have no issues with anything else I've tried to attach.

Since it works perfectly on your iMac, but not on your Macbook Pro, it may be some settings in your Mail app on your MBP are not set the same as on your iMac.
And it almost sounds like your hanging Mail app is expecting to do something else with the MP3 file, or translate it into some other format. Have you demonstrated through other means that your MBP's MP3 files are not damaged or corrupted, or aliases rather than the actual files?

Mail not delivered when sent with the Unix "mail" command

I am trying to send mail from the Unix command line with the "mail" command. Whenever I try to send an e-mail using a command of the form:
    mail -s 'This is the subject' <email address>
the mail message always ends up in subdirectories of the postfix "deferred" directory:
    /private/var/spool/postfix/deferred
It seems that the mail system runs for 60 seconds after an e-mail is sent and during that time I can run "mailq". If I do that I see something like the following:
-Queue ID- Size ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

It seems to be complaining that the connection timed out to broadpark.no\[217.13.4.67\], which is the domain of my ISP.
My outgoing SMTP mail server is:
    mail.broadpark.no\[217.13.6.35\]
Could it be that mail system is trying to connect to the wrong SMTP mailserver? If so, how can I fix this?
I should mention that mail flows perfectly in and out of my machine via the Mail.app program. I am only having problem sending mail down at the Unix command line level.
I had this working on OS X 10.4.x, but this is the first time I have tried this with Leopard.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I should have been a little bit clearer why I want to be able to send mail via my local mail/postfix system: I have several servers set up on my iMac, in particular:
    apache
    trac
I want these servers to be able to send mail to, e.g.,
    webmaster@localhost
    root@localhost
    trac@localhost
I have created aliases for these addresses in:
    /etc/postfix/aliases
(I have also executed "newaliases"). These aliases all point to my own user account on the same machine (my iMac).
Finally, I have a .forward file at the root level of my OS X account that forwards all local Unix mail to my normal e-mail account handled by my ISP.
This way, all local mail sent to "webmaster2, "root", "trac", etc., should be sent to my normal e-mail address that I monitor with Mail.app.
*This all worked perfectly with Mac OS X 10.4.x,* so I know it should be possible. However, I have only now just tried to set this up 10.5.x (Leopard) and, clearly, I am having problems.
Perhaps this motivation for wanting to send e-mail via the Unix mail system will help others understand my situation, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks very much in advance.

Deal with mails with / without attachments

My codes actually can save the image attachment of emails from email server. But, one problem I have is the codes don't work for mails with no attachment. How can solve this? I have added the structure of how I coded it. I am not sure if I can modify the 2nd part of the codes such that mails without attachment can work too. Pls advise. thank.
My code pattern is like this:
1st part : Connection.
2nd part:
if (contentType.startswith("image/")){
//get the image and save to folder and insert path to image table of database
if (contentType.startswith("text/plain")){
// insert image id and text to another table of database
3rd part: Delete email.

I don' have the demo folder currently. Any sample code that can be posted here?
I tried
if(disposition == null){
//do this for emails with no attachment
else if (disp.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT)){
//do this with attachments
else{
out.println("invalid");
But it still can't work. The (disp == null) seems to pass in all values for both emails with attachments or no attachments....Why??

Problem sending mail with roaming profile (Outlook 2010)

Hello all,
I hope you will be able to help me.
Here's the problem I have with Outlook 2010:
When a user opens a roaming profile on another
PC or on his new
PC, everything works perfectly except
Outlook.
Outlook opens normally with all email
accounts, you can even see the email, no worries
about that.
But when we want to send an email, it
gets stuck in the outbox.
Some additional info:
     - In the account settings,
you can test the account settings, it says
that everything is working (sending and receiving)
     - The only way I found today to
operate the account is to
completely remove and reconfigure
     - There is an error message
that says I can not write on the file C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\accountName.pst
     - The problem occurs with
all users, not just one in particular
     - The accounts are IMAP
     - Incoming emails work
Thank you for your help.

Hi Tim,
This is a known issue in Outlook, we don't recommend using IMAP account with roaming profile.

Problem for Mail with PDF attachment

Hello all,
I have a problem regarding sending mail with a PDF attachment from SAP. The attachment contains Payslip of employee that is being generated from a Submit program of the respective HRFORM. I have used the Submit program within a JOB and the spool request generated. From the spool request i am extracting the pages using FM RSPO_GET_PAGES_SPOOLJOB.
Now to convert the spool job to PDF am using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. And after the job is being finished, am deleting both the JOB and SPOOL.
To change the output of the FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, into attachment with line width of 255 am using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE. Then after filling all the required parameters for FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1, am sending the mail with the attachment. I have kept the format as PDF.
But the problem here is, the attachment is going as .DAT file and not as .PDF file!!!
Please help to resolve this issue.
with regards,
Koushik.

Hello,
Instead of using SO* APIs to send mail you should use the BCS classes. Anyway there is a sample program BCS_EXAMPLE_8 which is very similar to your requirement
Cheers,
Suhas
PS: The sample program BCS_EXAMPLE_6 has got more to do with PDF forms as is your case

SMTP connection problems in mail with 10.4.7

I have been using Mail with no problems until updating to 10.4.7.
I am with BT Broadband for Business, using their SMTP server. I have checked that the update did not tick the SOCKS option in network preferences, but this remains unticked so is not the problem.
I know for sure that the SMTP settings are correct, and working, as my wife is able to send mail from Outlook on her PC using the same account with no problems.
I had this problem a couple of days ago, and fixed it by installing the latest combo update of 10.4.7. I tried this again as the problem re-occurred out of the blue, but this time applying the update is not fixing the problem.
This only applies to outgoing mail, incoming mail still arrives.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Problem sending mail with Gmail POP

A few days ago I began having trouble sending email through mail in my gmail account. (hope you got that) I checked my gmail account online and saw theat eventhough I got an :unable to deliver mail, please try another account message" from Mail, the message was sent according to gmail.
I went into my account settings and saw that my port was changed from 587 to 25. So i changed it back, I also noticed that my username was not how gmail had it listed, so i changed both and now i still get that message but the emails are getting sent according to gmail.
please help

I just began experiencing the same problem. I attempted deleting the pref's file and all other corresponding mail files out of my library to no avail.
Oddly, I can't seem to send out any other SMTP server either.

Why does my "Doteasy" e-mail format change when sent using Mozilla?

Up until recently I have been using Internet Explorer as a browser both at work and at home. I recently switched to Mozilla Firefox only at home and have been happy overall.
When I access my work e-mail account from home ("Doteasy.com") I am unable to control the font size, type and my signature when sending e-mails. Usually the resulting e-mail when sent ends up combined in a long paragraph that is hard to read and really unprofessional looking.
I did try to follow how to set up Mozilla with an e-mail program but when I select the "Tools" menu the "Account Settings" does not appear in the menu and I have been unable to find it. I have the latest version of Mozilla too (as of 11/14/2011).
My life will be so much easier if I can work from home once in awhile.
Thanks for help!!
Thank you.

My computer does this too. It also has made my Sent Button disappear and refers me to a "send later" solution. which is do not get or have. Shake the tree, maybe a nut will fall. Crack the nut and there you will find the Chinese answer!

Where does Mail save attachments to sent messages?

In believe attachments to sent messages used to be saved in the ~/library/application support/mail folder. I don't find any such folder with Mavericks.
Are outgoing attachments saved at all? If so, where?
Thanks,

I'm using version 1.4.1.
I tried doing the saveChanges and that didn't help. I do get the following in my msg.txt:

Weird Files Generated with Attachments when Sent to Windows

When I attach a file to an email message and send it to a windows user, a file like "ATT341087.htm" is generated and appears below the file I attach.
"Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments" is checked.
Any idea what this is?

Are you using RTF for message composition along with a signature?
Try using Plain Text for message composition the next time you are sending an attachment to this recipient to see if the same occurs.

Problems sending mail with txt attachtment using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 MF

Hi gurus,
I allready tried to search in the forum some threads related with my problem, but i couldnt found any with the same problem that im having.
My problem it's when attachting an txt file, using MF SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 MF, the mail attachtment it's coming with the txt file but instead of coming with the all lines in the contents_bins table the file it's coming with a few lines. I think the problem it's that the txt file should come with 80 characters per line, like it's on the contents_bin table, buu instead that the MF it's filling me each line of the file with 1024 characters.
Does anyone has ideas what im doing wrong?
Ps - Below goes my code.
