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.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

Having trouble with mail.app always cc'ing myself

Having trouble with mail.app always reply all is cc'ing myself. Solution was to add another address under the account so that it recoginzes aliases as well as the primary account that you are sending from. Then it will recognize all the addresses and aliases associated with the account.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Scrolling troubles with mail (Mavericks)

This is happening either in the messages themselves or message list or mailboxes list.
All others functions are on only scrolling is freezed.
After few minutes scrolling is back.
Does anybody experienced such trouble?

Thanks ZOGY the PRAM reset solved the scrolling bug for me.
Simultaneously hold down keys "option + command + P + R" during restart until the reboot repeats the chime, then release.

Trouble with Mail and Maverick

Trouble with Maverick and Mail - contacts (groups) will not load into address bar in mail.

Check that the mac's preferences for icloud is still connected to the proper account. Be sure photo stream is turned on.
You haven't described what "trouble" your mail account has.

HT1338 I have a Leopard desktop 10.5.8 and I have trouble with MAIL. My draft folder does not work and my draft messages will not delete. delete

I have a Leopard desktop 10.5.8 and I have trouble with my Email Apple MAIL draft folder. First of all after I typed my draft and sent to draft, the folder would not open at a later date to send. In all I have 10 messages, mainly test which I cannot delete from my Draft folder.
My draft system is now working but I cannot get rid of the 10 messages which sit in my INBOX and DRAFT folders.
These messages appear in Application - Mail but they will not go.
How do I delete, or is it best to use My Disc 1# and delete all my software and replace with the Disc in order to have a new MAIL program?
Any advice would be welcome.

HI,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Trouble with SPSS attachments

My colleague is suddenly having trouble opening SPSS attachments (.sav, .SPS) that I'm sending. Never had this difficulty before. He is opening them on a PC.
He gets a message saying that the attachment comes to him malformed and it is being stripped from the email by F-secure.
Anyone else with this difficulty?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

afglow, Welcome to the discussion area!
He gets a message saying that the attachment comes to him malformed and it is being stripped from the email by F-secure.
More than likely F-secure is erroneously tagging these files as viruses or suspicious files. He probably needs to modify the settings of F-secure.

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?

Having Trouble With Mail Account

I'm having trouble with one of my computers and my imap gmail account. Imap on my desktop works perfectly but on my laptop it does not go online (when I click on the caution symbol that asks me if I want to go online, it ignores the request). My old Pop account works fine on this computer but for syncing purposes I really need to get Imap working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your Gmail account preferences via webmail access using a browser?

I am having trouble with photo attachments in mail

When i attach photos from Lightroom into my mail messages, they are embedded and do not appear as attachments. When others receive the email, the pictures are embedded and can only be copied but cannot be used or edited like a normal attachment. When I control click on the embedded photos in my mail message and select show as icon, I get a very small thumbnail and not the the full size phot that I want.
When I use other email programs (Sparrow), I do not have that problem

You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

Trouble with Mail sending large attachments using iCloud

I am on an iMac running Lion 10.7.2 using Mail 5.1
My wife and I both have iCloud accounts.
I have been trying to send an email with three pdf files. The total size of all three files is 48.4 mb.
Other emails go out without any problem, but this one email will not go out.
I keep getting the following message:
Cannot send message using the server ...
I then try my wife's iCloud account and it does the same thing.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Is there a phone number or text support to actually talk to someone at apple?
Thanks,
Keith

The total size of all three files is 48.4 mb.
That's why. That maximum size of incoming and outgoing messages is 20MB:

Email really isn't designed for transferring large files and all email providers have attachment size limits to avoid people clogging up their mail servers.
Use one of the many (free) large file transfer services instead.

Hi I'm running 10.4.11 on the OS I recently went and reinstalled and did all my updates and now I have trouble receiving emails using mail the error message reads "The connection to the server "smtp.gmail.com" on port 25 timed out." Any advice on how to fix this? Thank you much

To see if it's your provider, What's my ip...

Start with these three, check SpamCop or SpamHaus to see if your IP is there...

Sometimes an ISP will bloc a whole other ISP too, if it's the source of too much SPAM.
