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?

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 with mail attachments

I upgraded to an iMac 10.4.10 this month - have been sending emails with & w/o attchmts for last two weeks with no problem. Today sent email to one client (on PC)and they couldn't open PDF (they have uptodate reader) so I sent it to my son on PC and it worked, then another client's email was returned with this message:
Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
Diagnostic code: smtp;554 sorry, the attachment is in my badmimetypes list (#5.6.0)
Remote system: dns;mail.xmihosting.com (TCP|10.0.120.163|12819|64.69.82.7|25) (mail.xmihosting.com ESMTP)
I called shaw (server) and they sugg. I copy the returned email and send to them - that came back too! - any suggestions? when I did copy/paste - I see a file "mime-attachment.html" before and after each PDF...?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
How did you create the PDF? Did it have any live URL links, or other links within it? I am wondering if the content of the PDF would have triggered a SPAM filter somewhere in the path of servers used during senders?
All attachments, in general, are MIME type, but this is not referenced unless the extension (.pdf in this case) has gotten removed, and the file type is not otherwise known -- this can happen by action of a server, as well.
If not too sensitive, you may send such a PDF to me, and I will examine. My address can be found by clicking on my name to the left of this message, and looking in the bio line of my Profile.

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?

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.

Moving your mail, saved mail and all other things from Leopard to Leopard??

I Have a MBP and just bought a iMac, both with leopard on them and I am having the hardest time trying to find a simple way to just bring what I have over in the mail program that comes with leopard to my iMac. There has to be a way to just bring that over to my new mail program. I can get the account settings, I just cannot get all the emails in the inbox or the folders that I have created. They have to be somewhere??? Please help if you can.
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same trouble however I'm trying to do it from Leopard client to Server. This seems to be more difficult. In the past when I've moved from one mac to another, I simply copy my userfolder/Library over to the new machine and it all comes over nicely.
This does not happen on a Server. If anybody else can make any suggestions. I've got tons of saved mail on my old mac that I need to keep.

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 missing

I have an iMac - late 2009 running 10.9.5 OS. I am having trouble opening e mail attachments sent from one very important contact. He is on an office server running microsoft e mail program. I can not even see the attachments on his e mails. I am using TNEF's Enough to open the attachment and nothing appears as an attachment in the pop up window. Any suggestions of settings (or something else) that can overcome this problem?

I have the same problem. Things worked fine for a while. I was able to see the body of the email plus the attachment. Even was able to open PDFs in iBooks. Now I only see the "Preview". I clock the particular email and I get a blank page with a header... plus no ability to see the attachment. This needs to be addressed in an update.
How did you reset your phone? Did you lose any content in the process?
Thanks

Trouble opening email attachments sent from another mac

When I try to open email attachments from my new email acct at Charter.net they come out as giberish! Charter is unable to help me. They have no idea why this is happening. with my hotmail acct I can open them inconsistantly. I am sending things from my work mac to my mac at home. Both use system 10 and both computers have Word so that can't be the problem. I also make sure that the attachments say .doc in the title of the attachment. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

DOS 8.3 refers back to the pre-Windows days when file names were restricted to no more than 8 characters in the filename plus a three letter extension that identified the type of file; e.g., filename.doc for Word documents. A surprisingly amount of Windows code is still based on DOS, and some programs still behave oddly if you try using longer filenames or filenames with spaces or non-standard (letters and numbers and underscores) in the name.
On the Entourage machines, check Preferences> Compose and make sure the 'encode for' pull-down fiels reads 'any computer (Apple Double)'.
Your correct that Hotmail is rather well-known for mungling attachments sent from Macs. For that matter, it's prone to mungle attachments sent from or read by any browser other than Internet Explorer for Windows (e.g., if you use Firefox on Windows, Hotmail will corrupt the mail's formatting). It's possible to have either Safari or Firefox to pretend to be IE for Windows but I've never found that to actually help with Hotmail, probablly because it's checking for ActiveX which is Windows only. I have no knowledge of charter.net or how it's webmail works. One thing that may help with either email at home: try saving the attachments to the hard drive and then open the program you want to use and open the saved file from within the program (as opposed to trying to open the attachment from within the webmail browser or saving the attachment to disk and double-clicking it on the desktop to launch the associated program).
One thing that might work well is to bypass the webamil approach at home and use a stand-alone mail program, such as Apple's own Mail program in the applications folder or the free download of Mozilla Thunderbird. You mention using Entourage at school; that suggests you'd qualify for the student-teacher version of Microsoft Office, which would let you use Entourage at home as well (that's essentially my home Mac situation; Entourage-to-Entourage works quite well).

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
Thanks
