Hi,
U can use this link to see how to make the attachment as the main payload, (i.e PayloadSwapBean adapter module)

My Gmail account won't work well with my Apple Mail, THe mail won't download into my gmail account and I frequently as requested to put my IMAP password in and it is then rejected.

My Gmail and Cox accounts and won't work well with my Apple Mail, The mail won't download into my gmail account and I frequently am requested to put my IMAP password in, and it is then rejected.I go to mail preferences and put the password in the appropiate place and I am told the password is new and do I want to use it. I reply yes but its not saved. Any suggestions

On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
In the search field, type something that will help find your account keychains, like "gmail."
Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

How to send the mail with multiple file attachments ?

Sending mails with multiple files as attachments.

You need to start from the app, assuming that it has an email function, that contains the files that you want to send as attachments. The Photos app allows you to send up to 5 photos on the same email, but if you want to send multiple file types then you need an app that supports all those file types. I use the GoodReader app which supports quite a few document/file types (e.g. PDF, Excel, Word, pictures), and from that I can select multiple files (including different types) and attach them to the same email.

Syncing Mail with Word attachments without the internet?

Is there a way to sync email with Word doc. attachments with a desktop, via a usb cable, without the desktop having an internet connection?
The setup is an iphone that syncs mail with a work computer that is internet connected. At home there is no internet accept Edge; i.e. iPhone gets internet but the desktop does not. I would like to use the iphone to move Word docs from emails back and forth to the desktop. I.e. someone emails me with a word doc attachment, (ii) Can I then sync (download) the attachment onto my home computer via a USB cable, edit the document? and then (iii) sync (upload) the edited word document back to the iPhone (which will then sync with my work computer via the Edge connection.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Tooschaye,
iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, it does not sync the actual emails or attachments.
You should be able to find a few applications on the App Store which will let you store files on your iPhone. Then you can transfer the files to your desktop. I believe most of these apps require the devices be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Howto send a mail with 2 attachments

hi experts,
i have to realise the following scenario:
- a customer sends us invoice-data via webservice
- sap-pi has to copy the payload
- sap-pi adds some default-values the new payload
- at the end i have to send an email with the original payload and the modified payload
(every payload as a separate attached file)
is this possible??
could anyone describe me the steps i have to do?
thx in advance,
dieter

thx for your answer - we solved our problem with a bean that we implemented in the communications channel of the sender.
our next problem is that we want to rename the attachments. we made the following settings in the communications channel of the receiver:
1     localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Local Enterprise Bean     1
2     localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean     Local Enterprise Bean     swap
3     localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Local Enterprise Bean     2
4     sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean     Local Enterprise Bean     mail
1     Transform.ContentDescription     untitled.xml
1     Transform.ContentDisposition     attachment;filename="original.xml"
1     Transform.ContentType     text/xml;name="original.xml"
swap     swap.KeyName     payload-name
swap     swap.KeyValue     attachment-1
2     Transform.ContentDescription     invoice
2     Transform.ContentDisposition     attachment;name="invoice.xml"
2     Transform.ContentType     text/xml;name="invoice.xml"
the message looks like this:
<SAP:Manifest xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:wsu="http://www.docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="wsuid-manifest-5CABE13F5C59AB7FE10000000A1551F7">
- <SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:original-ID.xml">
<SAP:Name>attachment-1</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Description>attachment</SAP:Description>
<SAP:Type>ApplicationAttachment</SAP:Type>
</SAP:Payload>
- <SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:payload-8687af70bfd611dfb3f700e000c5720c<at>sap.com">
<SAP:Name>MainDocument</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Description>Main XML document</SAP:Description>
<SAP:Type>Application</SAP:Type>
</SAP:Payload>
</SAP:Manifest>
in our mail, the payload maindocument is an attachment with the name "invoice.xml" -> this works
but the second attachment in the mail is named "untitled.xml" and it's not possible for us to rename this attachment to "original.xml"
any ideas???
thx in advance

SAP PI7.31 : Mail with multiple attachments - how to process via UDF

Hi
wondering how I can approach this problem.   I have to read an Email with any number of attachments - it can have between 1 and 4 or maybe more of different types (CSV,XLS,PDF,ZIP). I need to read this email and extract the attachments to a folder.
Just to let you know I have done this OK for an email that I know only has 2 attachments ! Works perfectly - just no good for ?n? attachments !
   Mail Sender has AF_Modules/MultipartHeaderBean to add payload Attributes
   The message is sent to 2 Receivers
   Each Receiver File adapter then uses AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean and AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
Problem is that when I do not know how many attachments there are. So I will have to write a Java UDF mapping, perhaps using the classTransformationInput.
My question is : To create a Java UDF what should be structure of a sent Email message Type look like so I can feed that into a UDF to check what payload attachments there are etc ?.

As long as you use java mapping, you can have any dummy structures for your interfaces.
But, if you prefer to use graphical mapping with UDF, then you should have some valid structures for your mail and file interfaces. e.g., mail pack XSD for mail interface as metioned by Indrajit Sarkar
and again the same structure for the file interface as well so that you can have one to one mapping an then make use of UDF code from the article. Use payload swap bean in the receiver file channel to replace xml payload with Zipped attachments and then finally use script to unzip this zip file.

Need to Pick the file with continious records in File Sender

Hi,
I am Working with File to Idoc Scenario. Where I am using Field Fixed length as FCC. The fixed length of each record is 200.
I am able to pick the first 200 characters.
For example:
If the file has 600 characters continiously. The first 200 belong to first record and second from 201 to 400 and so on.
How can i control this in File adapter.
Regards,
Manoj

Your data type record should have an occurence of 0..unbounded or 1..unbounded. In file content conversion, leave the recordset per message empty.
Let's say you have the following structure:
DT_MAIN_SEGMENT (0..1)
RECORDSET (1..unbounded)
In file content conversion, DT_MAIN_SEGMENT will be your recordset name and RECORDSET will be your recordset structure.

Mail with PDF attachments sent, not stored in Sent

IMAP account, Sent folder configured to point to server's sent mail folder. "Windows friendly attachments" selected.
If I send a message with multiple PDF attachments, the message will be received, but it won't be written to the Sent folder.
I can't afford to lose the archive copy of these messages, so I have adopted the habit of bcc'ing myself, but it's a drag.
Any thoughts?

I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce. Hence the delay.

Sending mails with binary attachments

Hi!

Whether your objpack-doc_type is coming correctly for the last PDF attachment?
Thanks

Mail with 6MB attachments created a 69 MB Monster, up and down, no end!

Yesterday I sent a mail with about 6 MB of data, I couldn't wait until mail did its usual play with stupid upload to .Mac, upload to draft, re-download to drafts again, re-download to sent messages and so on. Today mail does nothing but trouble, everytime I start mail it wants endlessly to down- and upload a monster of a 69 MB file that I've never created and there is nothing to see, wheter to delete nor to refuse. Activity shows only that nothing goes forward and this task blocks anything else, I can't recieve mails, I can't send mails this way. This issue let go down anything with mail on my iMac! What can I do???

Couldn't wait means I couldn't wait until it finishes this endless story!
After a week of absence there is still the same problem. Ever and ever again it copies a 69 MB Monster to my drafts folder, I waited up to 5 of the same mail listed in the drafts folder and there was still no end. Deleting the files from drafts doesn't do anything, it shows "copy mail" in the activity window and there is no hope to end that task in hours! Then, after a while there is a timeout with .Mac.

Auto-delete mails with ZIP attachments?

Unfortunately, I have to do business with Windows users whose machines seem to be infested with viruses that harvest email addresses. As a result, I am engulfed daily with mail that contains Windows virus attachments (ZIP files) and spam with GIF attachments. And I'm tired of it. Reporting the senders to their ISPs is an exercise in futility.
Since the only legitimate attachments I receive from clients are always, and without exception, Stuffit SIT or SITX files, is there any way to set up a rule in Mail that will delete emails with ZIP or GIF attachments but allow those with SIT/SITX files through?
There doesn't seem to be a way to add "Attachment" to the list of headers in Rules. In view of the fact that the most common vector for viruses is via email attachments, this seems to be a major oversight on Apple's part.
Any hints on dealing with this?
Kind regards.

Dave,
sorry for being late but I just saw your message now...
In 10.3.x, there indeed is no way to filter based on attachment names (this is a new feature present in 10.4.x). However, you should be able to mark all those messages as spam and filter them to your junk mailbox using Junk Matcher:
