TS1506 old email attachments wont open

I am able to open any type attachement in emails when received.  However, I can't go back to that same email later and try to open attachements unless I forward it to myself.  this doesn't happen every time, but often enough that its a bother.  It happens in inbox as well as sent folders.
thanks,

i have the same problem - a few days ago mail stopped opening attachments (iphone 4, ios5.1.1) - i mean every attachment: jpg,pdf,....which i have opened before succesfully!
seems like a bug which does not affect all users, closing mail, restarting, resetting does not help!! grrrr
the only workaround which i have found so far is to forward the message to youself - and attachments open without problems

  • Some emailed attachments wont open

    My Outlook 2011 which used to work fine has just started to corrupt pdf attachments. I use Preview.app as a default viewer. I have tried to open them in adobe but this dosen't work either. So It seems that certain types of pdfs are corrupted by 2011 Outlook. Does anyone have any ideas how to circumnavigate this so that I can go back to just clicking on the emailed attachment and having it open?

    Hello Gete,
    Re-starting the computer may help.
    Cleaning the CD drive with a branded cleaner product
    may also help.
    ( This will get some going I am sure.... )
    Repairing permissions may also help.
    Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk
    Utilities.
    " Repair permissions "
    Let us know how you get on please?

    Hi Ian,
    Well, I've tried the repair permissions route - it didn't work.
    As for a cleaning program, which I don't have anyway - my experience with apps other than Apple's own has not been good. I tried a shareware thing called maintenance, and let it do only the default cleaning - it probably did this OK, but the Mac seemed much slower in starting up afterwards...
    It reminded me of all those awful years slaving away with a Windows PC every time I tried some new wonder tool; There's a lesson to be learned in there somewhere:-)
    Thanks for replying,
    Cheers, George

  • Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening

    Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening on all three yahoo.com (classic, plus, and beta) email formats. When I click to open and view the email attachments, I no longer get the option to "Open or Save" this file, and it is automatically saved in my Win7 Download files.
    This happened once before and the fix was to "X-cancel" an orange bar message saying that FF was blocking this file from opening. This message was located just under the top of the FF browser.
    I do not see this message now.

    Cor-el contributed the"Yahoo File" link to solve this problem. After reading and studying the info listed I went to FF "Applications" and changed the windowmedia audio/video from "default" to "always ask." And that was the fix. Now when I open an email attachment with a .wmv file, I click on "download" and then get the Option box of "Open or Save." Just what I wanted.
    Thanks Cor-el

  • Today smart folder showing old email attachments

    Hi,
    The "today" smart folder is very useful. But IMAP mail periodically decides to revisit every message it has ever seen, which apparently gives them all "today" tags according to the finder. So, just now my "today" folder contains 1,482 items (most of which I really have NOT worked on today!). These are all located in Library/Mail/IMAP...etc.
    Is there a way to set a smart folder to exclude the Library directory? I know I can reserve it to search a single folder, but if I set it for the document folder, then it won't search the picture or applications folders. This folder must already exclude mail messages, since they don't appear; but attachments can be any kind of thing.
    (Alternately, if there is some way to get IMAP to stop doing that.... It does not happen every day, but often enough to be annoying.)
    thanks for any hints.

    they are litterly old emails that i deleted months or even years ago... from different senders... but they are reappearing under a new sender/message.... thats really the only way i can describe it.. for example, this is just an example...
    say 4 months ago i got an email from newegg and deleted it.... yesterday i got an email from my boss and when i opened it, it was the email i deleted 4 months ago from newegg... but when i go to my webmail it is the actual email from my boss...
    another real example... i deleted an email from my preacher about 3 months ago and i receieved and email from my dad last week.. when i opened it, it was the old email from my preacher...
    I hope that is a little clearer... these are all emails from mobile me.. i have all my mail FWDED to mobile me

  • .doc email attachments not opening since ios 8 on iPad 3rd gen

    Since the ios 8 update, word .doc email attachments will not load on iPad. They download from Exchange server and when I click them, a new screen opens with just the file name (xxxx.doc), a description "Microsoft Word 97-2004 document" and the file size. Anyone else experiencing this or found a fix? Thanks

    i had the same problem reading a .pdf attachment. I killed the Mail app, reopened the app and tried again and it opened the attachment. .doc attachments now open as well.

  • Old email address wont update

    I have entered new email address' in Address Book on my Mac. When syncing the iPhone, the old email address comes up when trying to send a new email to the person (when you begin typing their name)
    I have restarted and resync'd .
    Isn't the purpose of making updates in the Address book and other apps supposed to refresh what is on your iPhone?

    The iPhone's mail client includes what is called a list of previous recipients, just like the Mail.app on a Mac includes. With the Mail.app on a Mac, you can access the list of previous recipients to add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered in the Address Book, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
    Although the iPhone's mail client also includes a list of previous recipients, it isn't possible to access the list - at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge an email address from the list of previous recipients is to purge the entire list, and the only way to purge the entire list at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. The list of previous recipients is included with your iPhone's backup so if you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, you will also restore the list of previous recipients.

  • My Email attachments never open in Adobe Reader!

    Hi, my name is Tina.
    I'm not to computer savvy. But my problem is always when I get emails with attachments ending with ,docx.
    I got to download them and when I go to open them it always says:
    Adobe Reader could not open .docx because it is either not a supported file type or bc the file has been damaged for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded..
    It automatically open these files in Adobe PDF, These attachments come from my daughter's school and other organizations.
    Is there anyway someone could help me and walk me through this process? It just might be that my settings are set up wrong.
    I have a Dell laptop with Window 7.
    Please HELP????
    Thank you so much in advance!
    I will be off the computer until tomorrow until then Have a Great Weekend
    Tina

    You need to change your file associations for .doc / .docx files to open with Microsoft Word (or Word Viewer) instead of Adobe Reader.  See

  • Why don't pdf email attachments not open in pdf reader?

    I have a series 1 iPad running the latest ios available for that model. I have an email with some PDF attachments that I want to open and store in PDF reader however the only options presented are to read the attachments using iBooks or Kindle. Why is this?

    Thank you. I tried installing adobe reader and it worked but it made me wonder why. I have the PDF reader created by Kdan and so I went on their website and found the following.
    Unfortunately Apple's device has a limitation on the app number displayed on the open-in list and we are not allowed to change its order.
    We suggest you delete some of the existing apps equipped the open-in feature to get PDF Reader available on the open-in list.
    When I installed adobe as suggested, that appeared in 2nd place. I de-installed convert to text and I-can-print, which I hardley ever use, and sure enough Kdan PDF reader now appears in the list.
    Thanks for the lead

  • Ebay app - Ebay email links wont open in ebay app

    Hello,
    I have new items on saved searches emailed to me daily.
    When I first used my iPhone when opening an item from an email it opened
    in the eBay app in mobile format, I disabled this and chose for them to
    open in full format in safari. How do I deactivate the full version and
    revert back to using the eBay app for opening email links for new items.
    I have tried uninstalling, deleting all ebay dada and reinstalling - no difference
    I have a 3gs
    Thank you
    David gear

    Okay, I've tried a restore, and heaps of googling. Can't make it work though.
    Where should I look for such a setting?
    Thanks.

  • Email links wont open browser

    I use Outlook2003 as my mail client, and it has worked perfectly until yesterday. When I click on a link in email Firefox will not open itself up and go to the requested link. In fact, it does nothing. However, if Firefox is open it will open a new tab and go to the requested link. Why won't it open itself up anymore? It used to open up just fine.
