Resize attachments of recieved Mail

Hi all,
I know how to resize images I'm attaching to emails that I am going to send. However, I am frequently getting email with images attached totaling several megabytes. So I am wondering whether there is a way do downsize/compress images in revieved email? I want to keep those images attached to the mail messages, so saving them at a different place and deleting attachments is not an option.
I tried setting up an Automator action but didn't get far... but I assume there is a way?
Thanks,
Pit

Hmmm... but those pictures must be somewhere on my harddrive - when I open them in Preview and "Save as..." I can see their folder. Plus, there's an Automator action called "Get Attachments from Mail Messages". I tried to couple that with Preview to save those attachments as compressed jpegs, but somehow that didn't work.
Really no way? Right-click on a mail message, or Script menu, and then something runs??

Mac Mail Resizing Attachments???

I have been sending out attachments using Mac Mail for a long time but recently I have needed to send out Hi-Res photos for print. When the email is received the files have been shrunk and are too small to use. I have gone through every preference I know of and cannot find a way to turn this off. Any help is appreciated.

And only when it says Actual Size will the file be right. If it's set on small, medium or large files size will be reduced and will be turned into jpegs, no matter what the original version was.
So open up an email and attach a file and look at what it says. If it says anything but Actual size the file is already altered. So change it to actual size and save as draft, which you can then delete.
Then next time you attach an image it should say Actual Size because it defaults to whatever was last used. If it still changes then the file is probably too big, most emails have size limits and it's different for every service, so you have to check not only your own but the receiver of the email because if it's past their limit they will never get it.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Attachments freeze in MAIL

Attachments freeze in MAIL
The "Choose File" blinks..I cannot cance, or save, or select all, or dismiss.

I just experienced the same issue...
Although, it chaged a bit: sometimes hitting the "Attach file" Button would freeze mail, sometimes not. But adding an Image by drag'n'drop freezes the app everytime here.
Even replying to an email containing attachments (like images) would result in Mail.app freezing, as the attachment would be copied to the new email...
And it seems it's not related to the Upgrade to Mavericks, it worked like charm the last couple of months, now its happening....
I tried re-creating the Mail Account, removed the mail.plist, removed all emails on disk, had it downloaded new... I don't know what to do next...
Does anybody have any idea how to fix it?

Firefox crashes, even in safe mode, when I try to add attachments in Yahoo mail -- running Mac OSX 10.4.11, FF 3.6.16.

Firefox has consistently crashed when adding attachments in Yahoo mail. For a while Firefox would crash immediately when I clicked "attach." Then, for a while it would allow me to upload files if they were located in a folder that the Yahoo mail application opened when I clicked "attach," but if I tried to navigate to a different folder, I would crash when I clicked on the root user folder. I then updated Flash and tried Firefox in safe mode, and now Firefox (in safe mode or not) is again crashing as soon as I click attach in Yahoo mail. My system is as above, Mac OSX Tiger (10.4.11) on an original Mac Pro, all stock parts (I had added some aftermarket RAM but removed it some time ago, before these crashes started). Firefox does NOT generate a crash report dialog when I restart.

can't make much of this crash log but try this. when you get to the smtp server page in setup assistant hold option while clicking "create" or 'continue". this will skip the actual server validation and might prevent crashing.

How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
Thanks

I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

How to handle multiple attachments in XI mail sender adapter?

Hi,
is it possible to handle multiple attachments in a mail receiving in XI?
Our customer wants to send us mails with multiple attachments and we have to convert each attachment to an idoc.
But as I know XI (receiving mails) can handle only a single attachment in a mail. Is it true?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
Well, although I have never tried a scenario of picking more than two attachments from one mail, I wonder if its possible in the first place!
Here are the reasons why I think it is possible:-
It is not mentioned anywhere in the SAP Notes for mail adapter that it is not possible.
*It is not mentioned anywhere in the SAP help documentation that it is not possible
*Also, I think if the receiver mail adapter can create more than one attachment, the sender should be able to pick more than one!:)
Have you tried defining a PayloadSwapBean module to pick up more than one attachment?
Just try experimenting with this particular part of the module code:-
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
Content-Description: MailAttachment-1
I think even the following weblog might be able to help you to a certain extent:-

Body and Signature not getting in reciever mail adapter

Hi Friends,
My requirement is the reciever mail adapter having the Attachment and Body and signature.
Here i am getting Attachment only. I am not getting Body( example: the ftp successfully genrated this file abbc_12/03/2014.txt) and Signature.
Signature like

company name.
Thanks
Bhanu

Hi Galla,
I have some doubts about your scenario, Is your scenario FTP to MAIL?, do you want to send the file as attachment or you want the file content as mail body or where the body is taken? where is the signature, inside the file?
Meantime, you can check these documents about file-mail scenario:

Text file as an attachment in reciever mail adapter

Hi Experts,
I want to pick the text file using sender file adapter using file content converion, same file i need to send an attachment in reciever mail adapter.
Can anybody help me how can i do this.
Kind Regards,
Praveen.
Edited by: Praveen Kumar on Mar 10, 2010 9:08 AM

Hi,
>>>I want to pick the text file using sender file adapter using file content converion, same file i need to send an attachment in reciever mail adapter.
use payload swap bean to put the attachment in place of the message payload - do the content conversion using
content conversion adapter module, then do the same in the reverted order at the receiver
there are dozenz of blogs showing how to use the two adapter modules I mentioned so just do a little search in blog section

MIME settings in reciever mail adapter.

Hi,
We are trying to send the emails from XI system through SMTP adapter to a legacy system.
The Legacy system wants file in the MIME format.
At the XI end we have done the java mapping for the email configuration. Also, the configuration has been done to set the outgoing message format as MIME.
The issue is the legacy system is not accepting the mail sent by our system.
The issue has been found in few files. As in the legacy system is accepting randomly some files sent by our system.
Please advice whether the error can be at the XI configuration end or it is at the legacy system end.
Appreciate your quick responses.
Regards,
Alpa.

Hi Jyothi,
The MIME settings was there in the reciever mail adapter.
Please note that the system was working fine since last month.
The legacy system was recieveing the data sent by XI system since last month.
There has been no changes done at the XI end and the reciever adapter end till now.
Moreover now some files are being accepted by the legacy system.
for eg. lets say if the system sends the files in sequence-1 2 3 4 5
Randomly the legacy system is accepting file 1 and 4.
We dont see any difference in the way the files are being created and sent in the XI end.
The legacy party is claiming that no changes has been done.
So wanted to know where to look for the possible cause of error.
Regards,
Alpa.

I have been unable for the past few days to download attachments to E-mails on my Mac OS using Firefox

I have been able to download attachments to E-mails for years. However, for the last several days the download process which seems okay but the attachment doesn't show up on the screen and a note appears about a blank document. When I switch to Safari, the downloads work fine. Therefore, I assume that the problem is with Firefox.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Iam unable to send multiple attachments with a mail using JavaMail?

Hai to all,
Iam unable to send multiple attachments with a email,see
iam have succeeded in sending one attachment with a email.
when iam tring to add two or more attachments to a mail,
it is giving a Exception like this:
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: No content
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:577)

at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
at AttachFilesModified.sendMail(AttachFilesModified.java:185)
at AttachFilesModified.main(AttachFilesModified.java:43)
this is my code snipnet:
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
if(body != null)
messageBodyPart.setText(body);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
/*if(attachments != null)
for(int i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
String filename="D:\\nagaraju\\apachi\\axis-bin-1_3.zip";
     //String s[]=filename.split("\\");
     //System.out.println(s);
          //String s1=s[1];
          //String filename1=s[s.length-1];
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
     messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
     //second file attaching
     /*String filename1="C:\\nagadoc.txt";
     BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
     DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
     messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
     messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);

System.out.println("Sending message................");

System.out.print(allRecips[i] + ";");
System.out.println("...");
Transport.send(mess);
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
return 0;
What's wrng with that code snipnet?
Nagaraju G.

This works fine with me, try it or compare it if you want.
public void sendEmail( String from, String to,
String subject, String body) {
fMailServerConfig.put("mail.smtp.host", " <<mail server>>");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject( subject);
message.setText( body);
//Adds Attechment:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText("Here are my attachments");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//first attachment
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:\\img1.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor1.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//Second attachment
DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("C:\\img2.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor2.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//etc...
message.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( message );
}catch (MessagingException e){
System.err.println("Cant send mail. " + e);
The error on your code might be:
BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
You don't need to create a new BodyPart, and apart from that you'r seting values on "messageBodyPart" but adding "messageBodyPart1" to your multipart :P
Well see u and have a good one!
p.s. i know it's a little late from the day you posted, but at least it might help somebody else :D .

Attachments in e-mails won't open

Yesterday all was fine but today, when I double click on attachments within e-mails, they won't open. Clicking 'save to computer' also doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks
PS I am using btinternet as my e-mail provider

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Some pdf attachments missing in mail 5.2

I fail to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion). When the attachments do not arrive, I see no paperclip in the attachments column. On a recent occasion, a colleague sent me three consecutive emails, each with 1-2 pdf files attached. The middle one (containing one pdf), shows no attachment in Mail. However, I know the attachment is there, because if I open it on my iPhone, I see the attachment. What's more, if I forward the email to myself from the iPhone, I can now see the attachment again. This has happened several times in the past as well. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, failing to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion), and not being counted among the attachments
Two times where I'm aware it happened, the sender had replied and included the attachments I had sent in my original message, and I'm wondering if those attachments somehow led to their own attachments not displaying and not even being counted in the e-mail window. "3 Attachments, 317 KB" displayed, but those were my three; clicking the "Save" drop-down menu listed only those 3 attachments of mine. In one case, I had them resend their attachments as a new e-mail, and that worked. Their 2 attachments totalled 941 KB, so Mail missed rather a lot by displaying just 317 KB.
