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 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!

How can I move PDF email attachments into ibooks?

How can I move PDF email attachments into iBooks?

When you tap on the PDF to open it, a curved arrow icon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap that icon and the option to "Open In" appears. Select that option - tap open in - and you can select iBooks from there.

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?
set theAttachmentPath to (path to desktop) as text

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.

Email Attachments - Mainly Photos

When I send/forward email - usually from other senders, the pictures or links to pictures are no longer available & become erased after forwarding - including when forwarded to myself (although no issues when forwarded from my Windows Vista). Im sure an easy fix but have found nowhere to resolve. Thanks! Rick

Hi Jerry!
I need to get a few facts straight to be able to help you better, I think - this sounds a little weird to me. First of all, you mention that you were working with email - is this a webmail system (like Yahoo! mail, Hotmail or Gmail) or an external mail client program (like Outlook, Outlook Express, ThunderBird)?
Also, could you please post the troubleshooting information from Firefox (menu Help -> Troubleshooting Information)? See the article [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page]] and post your Troubleshooting Information data here in a post, so we have more information to use for making further suggestions.
I have never heard of a "Firefox easy batch transfer of photos" utility - no such utility exist in Mozlila Firefox by default, to the very best of my knowledge, so I am certain this is either an add-on or some external program.
Here the troubleshooting informatoin would help, but you do have one plugin that could be the 'guilty' part - the [http://browserplus.yahoo.com/ Yahoo! BrowserPlus] seems to be such a tool, so please see in Tools > Add-ons both under Extensions and Plugins if you can open settings/options for this system and from there reset or disable anything of this type.
From your description, it sounds like a HTML webpage document is being saved instead of the picture that you're expecting it to save. A HTML file will have the Firefox logo on a document.
If you get nowhere that way, try to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] and test - if that works, you will know that some add-on is messing with your setup, and you can disable all addons and turn them back on again one by one until the problem is found.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

TS3276 Mavericks and email attachments with photos

I am using Mavericks and when I forward a message with a picture, several receipents replay no picture came thru. Whats happening

We use Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and all i-devies running ios 5 have problems with attachments who include mutations.
Test with an Exchange Server 2007 made no issue with any i-device.
After hours of testing i came to this conclusion:
Apples announcement ios4 and higher fully supports Exchange Server 2003 SP2 is FALSE.
Thus all iDevices will be replaced through Android devices which have no problems at all at any version of Exchange.
That's cheaper instead of buying a new Exchange Server.
Sorry but i don't like to be fooled. Next time do your homework.

Import image email attachment into app

I am trying to import email attachments into my iphone app. I am placing code in my info.plist with uti etc. I have successfully imported audio attachments (caf, aifc, aif, m4a, and mp3). But I am not being successful at all with image files. I want to import jpg, jp2, pic, tif, and png files.
I have written this code in my info.plist for the audio files.
Code:
<dict> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>com.apple.coreaudio-format</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Viewer</string> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>.caf</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> </dict>
as I said this works fine for all the audio types I want.
But when I enter this code
Code:
<dict> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.png</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Viewer</string> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>.png</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> </dict>
for the images, nothing happens. The app icon doesn't show up in the modal view to tap and "open in" my app.
can anyone see any thing I am doing wrong here?
I have looked at what there is about this and nothing seems to suggest that you need to do any thing different for images than for audio files.
I appreciate any and all help.

I put the above code into my apps info.plist although I did change <key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key> to <key>UTImportTypeDeclarations</key>
and then in the app delegate I am putting
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
           openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
        annotation:(id)annotation {
    if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {
        // do something with the URL
    return YES;
and then this;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
    NSURL *url = (NSURL *)[launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey];
    if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {
       //it has been suggested that I put [self.viewcontroller handleOpenURL:url];
or self.window.rootViewController hanleOpenURL:url];
but neither work so I left them out.
return YES;
I have also use the code:

The audio files work great but I cannot get the image files to work. I have tried .png, .tif, .pct, and .jp2 int the latter code. Nothing seems to work.
I don't know what I am doing wrong and I am finding it very frustrating without any help.
Thank you for any assistance you can render.

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.

Documents to Go email attachments

Anyone else using Documents to Go for the iPhone? Can I get email attachments into Doc2Go? Sounds like that function only works with Exchange emails but wanted to check.
Thanks,
-Ed

The new version (1.1) can send documents from the App. But it can't grab attachments from emails yet. The Exchange version can, but only (obviously) through Exchange servers. But there is a desktop app to transfer files via WiFi.

I received pictures in a dozen emails and saved each picture into one file in .pages. I did not import the photos before doing this and now iPhoto won't recognize the pictures because they are in a .pages file. How do I get the pics to iPhoto?

I received a dozen pictures in a few emails and I saved them all into one file in pages. I just copied and pasted. I do not have the originals any longer. Iphoto will not permit me to import the pictures as it does not recognize a .pages file, nor can I simply click and drag from the pages document to iphoto nor from pages to the desktop to iphoto. How can I save each picture I guess back into a jpeg and then import them into iphoto or have i lost them to a pages document forever? This is urgent as I need the pictures made into a book on iphoto for work by Friday!!! Please advise! Thank you.

Greetings,
Locate the Pages document wherever it's located on your computer and click once on it to highlight it.
Go to File > Duplicate to make a backup copy of the file.
Click once again on the file to highlight it.
Go to File > Get Info
In the "Name & Extension" category remove the ".pages" extension and put in ".zip".
Close the info window and double-click the now renamed pages file (zip file now).It will decompress into a folder which contains all the base components including all the images you added. These can be dragged onto the iPhoto icon to import them.
Hope that helps.

How to send photos as email attachments???

This is a ridiculously easy and simple question but I'm a mac newbie and can't figure out how to send photos as email attachments, not embed them in the body of the email. Every time I go to send a picture or group of pictures from i-photo an email message opens....the pictures are embedded in the body of the email and that's how they appear to receipients. In a test, I've sent them to a PC...the message comes through just fine but the photos don't have separate attachments that I can click on and "save as." they come through as bitmap files. Any ideas? THANK YOU.

It will not ALWAYS fix the problem that this topic is about; I had my Mail preferences set to send as Plain Text and it did not fix the problem. Additionally, since there is NOT an option in Iphoto as you previously noted, it might be confusing to some people.
However, for those of you who have the same problem, there seems to be a solution that worked for me. I also had the problem that Mail was overriding my sizing preference when I selected them in Iphoto (share > email) and always sending them as small instead of medium as I preferred.
Since it seems that sometimes Mail does not deploy the plain text default so you need to kick start it to remember. This is how I did it....
- Select the photos you want and hit SHARE > EMAIL in Iphoto
- Now, in Mail click on the photo browser button
- Find another photo in Iphoto via the browser and drag and drop it into the email that you're composing
- You'll see a size option appear in the bottom right hand corner
- Playing around with the sizing option a few times kicked it into gear and it seems to be working better since then
I hope that helps anyone who has had the same problem.

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.
