Saving email attachments in os2.1

It seems that saving email attachments such as pdf's is slightly different in 0s2.1....I now have to touch and hold a downloaded attachment for a second or so, then the save/open option appears. In, previous versions, you just had to tap the attachment to save and open. Now if you tap a pdf attachment, it immediately opens as a temporary file in adobe reader.
Probably a better way now, but frustrating to have to learn it without any guideline.
Also, downloading attachments seems flakey....sometimes the spinning circle sits for many minutes before the download starts.
I am continuing to find the whole native email experience to be less than desireable.
The email duplication thread describes a number of user experiences from before and after the upgrade. The good news is that the duplication has been solved, but the red x and difficulty to reliably send emails continues.

There is an even better way. If you have the dropbox or CloudOn App (both free for Ipad) you can always touch for two seconds the attachement in the email (PDF, Office doc) and select "Open In", you can then open in either of these Apps and save them to the Cloud. I use dropbox and it created a default folder called uploads where all my documents from email are saved...very neat.
Hope this helps!

Auto saving email attachments using date email received as the name of the attachment file

I would like to be able to batch save hundreds of email attachments in my inbox to a specified folder and use the date and time email was received as the name of the file. i found sample script that would give it timestamp but would prefer date and time of receipt. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I found the below script online but it does not seem to be naming correctly. it appears that the month always defaults to 12. perhaps somehow could suggest a fix?

SAVING EMAIL ATTACHMENTS TO THE CLOUD

When I am travelling, I would like to replace my laptop with my Playbook and mini keyboard but I can't for one limiting factor. I need to be able to save files from email attachments directly to a cloud service like box or dropbox or attach files from the cloud to an email I want to send.
I do not think this is currently possible but can someone verify if this is true? Is there a 3rd party email app that can do this?
Does RIM have a feature suggestion forumn that people can vote on additions they would like to see.
Without this feature, the playbook is too inefficient to replace my laptop while I am travelling.

Hi Cangolf,
Unfortunately the PlayBook OS has no mechanism that allows us to do this directly - yet. It is expected to be possible in BB10, which we plan to support. This should allow us to extend the native e-mail client to save email attachments directly to the cloud. It should also allow us to replace our limited e-mail client with the native PlayBook e-mail system.
The first BB10 phones will be coming on January 30th, and we estimatethe PlayBook will be upgraded to BB10 3-6 months after that.

Saving email attachments into Photos

When I'm sent a picture as an email attachment I used to click at the top of the message and it would say "Export to iPhoto".
How can I Export to Photos now? It still says "Export to iPhoto". I'm dragging and dropping each one at the moment. Grrrr!
Is this a ****-up? Anyone help?

If you right-click (or control-click) on the attachment itself, you should be offered the option "Export to Photos" now. I have no idea why Mail doesn't include that in the drop-down menu at the top of the message.

Saving mail attachments

Since upgrading to snow leopard the 'save' button for saving email attachments has stopped working. any ideas?

I suspect you will find the attachments saved in the Mail Downloads folder -- Home/Library/Mail Downloads. This is the result of a quick click on the Save Button. To direct it where to Save, click and briefly hold on the Save button and you will be presented with the normal dialogue. The change was in this subtle difference in how you click on the Save button.
If you don't find any such attachments in the Mail Downloads folder, open Mail Preferences/General and tell me what is reported beside Downloads folder?

Upload Emails/Attachments From Outlook To SharePoint

Hi,
Is there any tool that will allow you to directly add emails or email attachments to SharePoint?
At present I have users who are saving hese to a SharePoint forder that they have mapped through Explorer. If possible I'd like to do away with this and I think if theres a feature where you can click an 'Upload To SharePoint' type button or some similar
option it might be a solution.
Cheers
Paul

Yes harmonie is a great tool
We were using another third party tool called PageLight. The tool has Uploading
an Email to SharePoint functionality but also we were able to do additional processing before Saving Email Attachments to SharePoint. What I meant is that it had
a simple transformation module which supported .NET and allowed us to massage date before uploading to SharePoint.
When did the comparison, there were so many tools which were almost similar. I could not find anything on Codeplex. All the tools we reviewed
in the market were not expensive.

Saving email with attachments together

I am running leopard on an iMac. I am a recent convert to Mac from the PC, and since I get a lot of emails with attachments, I simply want to save the email and attachment as one entity, as I used to do on my PC. It is very important that I be able to easily know which attachments came with which email. Ideally I would like to retrieve a saved email from a folder, open it, and also see the attachments. Currently, when I try to save an email that contains attachments, I go to File and pull down SAVE AS... A box pops up asking me for the location and it also contains a box at the bottom for me to check if I also want to save the attachments. I check the box, but no attachments are saved. I can go under File and pull down to Save Attachments, and it will save them to wherever I want, but I need the email and attachments together as one unit, for later retrieval. SO CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG HERE ??

Ok, first your attachments in Leopard Mail are saved in homefolder/library/Mail Downloads, so whatever you do, do not delete attachments in that folder.
Second, if you have an IMAP account, go to mail>preferences>accounts>advanced... and make sure that for "keep copies of messages for offline viewing" the option "all messages and their attachments" is chosen.
Third, where are you trying to save these emails, outside of Leopard Mail? I would suggest you save them within Leopard Mail, in mailboxes you will have created for that effect - to create a mailbox go to mailbox>new mailbox, choose the location you want to create the mailbox in as in under your IMAP account, or on your mac, and choose a name for your mailbox. Once that mailbox is created, you can move the emails you want to keep by either selecting the email(s), dragging and dropping in the mailbox you want to keep them, or you can right click and move to, or you can go to message>move to...
hope this helps.

When I receive email attachments on my iMac saved as "docx", I can't open them, i.e. the file is empty when I open it. On my iPad I can open them. Why?

I can't open them without buying software when the same emails on my iPhone have the attachment as a PDF and open? Thanks

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.

Pdf files as email attachments come in unreadable Word

pdf files as email attachments come up in unreadable Word. What am I doing wrong?
These files are saved as .pdf

If they automatically open in Word, then you need to change the file association.
Easiest by uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe Reader.

Why can I not open PDF email attachments?

Normally on my iPhone I'm able to simply click on the PDF attachment at the bottom of an email and it opens for me to read but I just got an iPad and it doesn't seem to do that. When I click attachments in my email nothing happens. But for instance when I try to open attachments I have saved in Dropbox they open perfectly fine.

Well something has changed since IOS came out. I can't open email attachments anymore in all apps.
Up until say 3 weeks ago I would tap on an email attachment (a PDF) and a menu of apps would appear. Normally I would choose Goodreader or iBooks to open the PDF. No problems. My iPad2 would switch to the app and open the PDF.
Now that IOS 6 is out when you touch the email attachment icons appear. Goodreader and iBook show up. But when i touch either one of these icons nothing happens. It won't switch to the app and open the PDF anymore.
Two other things. I do have other apps that appear such as PDFSplicer. If i choose it the iPad2 switches to that app and opens the PDF. It's only Goodreader and iBook that won't work anymore.
second, I went to my local Apple store and talked to the guys at the genius bar. I demonstrated the problem to them. They said it looks like a bug and suggested I send a bug report to apple. Never heard back from them.
Any ideas?

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?

PDFs not opening online or in email attachments

Recently my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5), my iPad, and my iPhone have not been consistently opening PDF files, either from the Internet (informational downloads from a website, for instance) or email attachments, some of which have previously opened successful. Oddly enough, my MacBook Pro (also 10.7.5) will open some of the files that the other devices don't, but not all of them. We have tried updating the newest Adobe Reader, renaming the files, printing as a PDF…nothing has worked. Any tips?

Right click on the PDF in your browser and select Save Link As to download the PDF file locally. Then,
1.       In your web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
2.       (Windows only) From the Files Of Type menu, choose All Files.
3.       Click Browse.
4.       Select the PDF you have saved previously, and then click Open to open the PDF. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file but doesn't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file.
