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?

  • Trouble saving mail attachments

    Lately I have problems saving mail attachments: I first need to shorten the title and then the file does not show up in the folder I saved it too. When I want to create new folders to save attachments in, I can't because of a read-only issue. Any suggestions?

  • Mail attachments not saving to the folder I choose

    My mail attachments are not saving to the folder I choose.  When I select a file to save in the mail drop-down box, I am given options to save to a folder of my choice.  However, when I select save the document is actually saved deep in some Mail Downloads area, not in my chosen folder.  Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

    What kind of files are you trying to attach?
    Is it all recipients having this problem or specific one(s)?
    Could you possibly post a screenshot of the sent message from your side and a screenshot of what the recipient sees?
    What happens if you send one of these messages to yourself?

  • While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

    While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

    Hi all
    Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
    I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
    That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
    Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
    Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
    Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
    I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
    However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
    You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

  • Saving Photo E-mail Attachments

    Does anyone know how to save e-mail attachments (particularly photos) to the iPhone?

    well, when I get home to my iMac, I reopen the email containing the pics so I can see them bigger, save them to iPhoto from there, and make any adjustments like cropping or color or sharpness, then I know the better version will be synced to my iPhone on the next sync. But it would be nice to just save them directly. I'm just wondering if that would get us into sync nightmares having the same pics on both the iPhone and in iPhoto ready to sync..seems like that forces the iPhoto window to come up asking you which version you want to keep.

  • Saving e-mail attachments (NOT PICTURES)

    Does anyone know if there is an app out there that will allow you to save e-mail attachments? Word,excel, or PP.

    Cannot be done. There is no user-accessible file system on the iPhone. Apps that allow file storage/transfer (Air Sharing, File Magnet, DataCase) store the files 'within' the apps themselves, and can only get them transferred over WiFi with the app active.

  • Sending Mail attachments to windows users

    When sending Mail attachments (Jpegs) to windows PCs they arrive embedded in the message body, not as an attachment that can be saved.  Can I, or the recipient, do anything to rectify this?

    From Mail Help:
    If Windows users have trouble with your attachments
    Windows users might not be able to read attachments you send, the messages they’re attached to, or both; or they might see two files when you’ve sent only one.
    Try these solutions:
    Choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
    Choose Edit > Attachments > “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message” to automatically have attachments inserted at the end of a message. Otherwise, some Windows recipients might not easily see all of your message because parts of it are put into attachments, which they have to open to read.
    Use filename extensions, such as .doc for a Microsoft Word document, in the names of files you send to Windows recipients. This way, the files can be read by a Windows application.
    If you send a file (for example, “MyFile”) to someone who uses a Windows computer, the recipient might see two files: “MyFile” and “._MyFile.” The recipient can ignore the file named “._MyFile.”
    If you have a New Message window open, the Edit > Attachments commands don’t contain “Always” and they apply only to the message you’re currently composing.
    If you haven’t set the default, click Attach in the toolbar of the New Message window and select the Send Windows Friendly Attachments checkbox.

  • Where are mail attachments stored?

    On my Macbook Pro all attachments are available to be opened when I'm not connected to the internet. I assumed this was true with ipad but could not open attachments on plane yesterday. So, I assume in ipad attachments are stored on server (I use mobile me) and must be opened/downloaded individually then saved in other apps like Goodreader or Pages. If this is true, is there any way to automatically store attachments like a mac does in mail downloads?

    Mail attachments are stored on the server. You need to tap on the attachment to down load them to the iPad. The same holds true for a desktop or laptop computer.
    If your need to view an attachment where you don't have an Internet connection it is best to open the attachment before hand when you an internet connection.

  • Since upgrading to 8.0.2, I can't open mail attachments JPG

    Why can't I open mail attachments photo.JPG, PDF...  I could before I updated to 8.0.2

    Did you have Firefox 37.0 or 37.0.1 before you updated? The changes were very minor, so I think the problem is more along the lines of a glitch than a program change...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Have a problem opening e-mail attachments

    Hi,
    i'm having a problem with opening e-mail attachments. I received an e-mail from a friend, and it had the little paper clip on it. (I believe she was sending an article. But she also sent me a photo in a separate e-mail, neither worked). But I could not figure out how to open it. I tried putting my cursor over it, but it seems that there was no way to open it. There was no way of opening it, it just had that icon, and nothing else. Why am I not able to access it? (I should point out that she has a PC. I dunno whether or not that makes a difference but I thought I'd throw that in there). Any assistance you can give me on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Have you tried saving the attachment to your hard disk and then opening it?
    If there's an attachment, near the top right of the message window should be the option to save it. Click on 'save' and then try to open the file in the location you saved it to.

  • E-Mail attachments into different content repositories

    Hi Experts,
    We are working  on ERMS with CRM 7.0.  As per the business requirement we need to use different content repositories for different markets for saving e-mail attachments.This is to give flexibility to markets on archiving. The differentiation factors for the markets is the recipient mail ID or routinng organizations.
    Can anybody help us on below points
    1. In standard what are  the options available  to save the mails and attachments
    2. How to define the content repositories based on the recipient  mail IDs
    3. Can we use the rule policies for saving the attachments in different repositories.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Glad to know you got it working.
    As of the question why WLM doesn't work right with PSE, please see http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/live_mail_2011. This is a known issue for PSE9 and a workaround for this is explained on the KB: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/freeze-or-error-no-email.html

  • Default Mail attachments to "View As Icon"

    Is there a way to default attachments to "View As Icon" instead of previewing them in Mail? Specifically MP3s, since there's no way to drag the preview player directly into iTunes. I know I can just right click to change, but I get a lot of emails with MP3s attached and need to pull them straight into playlists.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    "Iconizer" or "attachment tamer" could be your answer.

  • Mail attachments don't work iphone

    I have three users who updated their phones to 7.0.4.  After doing so, half of the email attachments don't show up in emails.  Instead, they get a "this message has no content."  It happens with different email senders and different attachment file types (pdf and xls).  One user specifically noted that it happened after updating to 7.0.4.  Two of those users are on iPhone 4S's and another is on a variation of 5.
    Any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it?
    side note: mail attachments on those same problem emails work on the user's Outlook clients as well as Android phones (when tested).

    Use Plain Text instead of RTF for message composition and place any attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
    The Send Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for only one thing and that is removing the Apple resource fork from an attached file which is invisible from fellow Mac users.

  • "On My Mac" saved mail gone since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion this past week. Mail worked fine for a few days and then my Mail Rules and my "On My Mac" saved mail (DECADES worth of mail!!!) disappeared.
    I have both a Time Machine backup of my Snow Leopard from right before the upgrade, as well as a SuperDuper clone.
    I have already tried the following:
    Rebuilding the mailbox (it rebuilt my Inbox, but nothing showed up "On My Mac" and no, nothing is hidden.
    Copying the Mail folder from my Snow Leopard backup to my Mountain Lion desktop and copying the .mbox files and associated .plist files for the "On My Mac" saved mail into the "Mailbox" folder in V2 on Mountain Lion. When I then launched Mail it showed "On My Mac" and the names of all of my saved mail folder, but those folders were empty. I attempted to rebuild those folders, but nothing showed up.
    Importing the .mbox files from the "On My Mac" saved mail, but it only showed two Sent Items folders as being able to be imported. None of my actual "On My Mac" many saved mail folders.
    I could really use some help here. I have already posted on Macintouch and nothing suggested has helped thus far.
    I really cannot lose my saved mail. The contents of each of those .mbox saved mail folders absolutely contains my saved email. There are tons of "emlx" files.
    Thanks!

    Misery loves company. ;-)
    Glad you found yours. What did you do to make it show up in Mail again?
    I just got off the phone with Apple support and still have no resolution. I got kicked up one level and now that person has to kick it up again because they don't know how to fix my problem. I have been told it could be up to 48 hours until I hear from someone again. Ugh
    Your mention of the "archive" folder sent me to look at my mailbox structure.
    For some reason, I appear to have 2 mailboxes for my .Mac email (sorry - I still call it .Mac!). I don't know why, and each has 1GB of stuff in it. The first one has an archive.mbox with only a .plist in it. No folders. The other one has neither a .plist nor a folder. The other .mbox stuff has both a .plist and a folder with individual files (emails).
    I really shouldn't have to revert to Snow Leopard to get my stuff back. There has got to be a way to have Mountain Lion Mail read my Saved Mail (On My Mac) folder. It's got 3GB of stuff in there.

  • Does anyone have any efficient techniques for saving mail on more than one machine and in the cloud (I need offline access). Trying to avoid endless message copying.

    I've been in an administrative job at my university, in which I needed to be able to access lots of past email conversations.  I ended up saving *everything* religiously, by copying each email or conversation into an "On My Mac" folder on either my home or office machine, flagging it as copied, then unflagging it and moving it to a like folder on the other machine. As a result I'v now got a trillion folders for various aspects of my job, filled with quite a few messages that I probably no longer even need, but they're way too many to go through and delete one by one.  Unfortunately, I haven't made much use of the iCloud folders, but I'm so tired of having to essentially manually sync my stored mail in the manner I just described, that I'm thinking of starting to file everything to iCloud folders.  The downside of that is that obviously if the internet is down and a given folder wasn't refreshed before it went down, I won't have access to the saved mail.
    Moreover, I'm about to step down from the admin post -- within about 6 months a lot of what I saved won't be needed at all, and going forward, I won't need to save nearly the same quantity of messages for later reference.  I'd like to come up with some viable "triage" strategies for limiting the mail I do save.  
    This is really just an open question:  Does anyone have any good mail filing and storage techniques that you'd be willing to share?  I'm especially interested in criteria you use for what you save and don't save, and where/how you save it. 

    Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.
