Why are my outgoing email attachments being compressed?

How do I stop my outgoing email photo attachments from being compressed when they arrive at their destination? I send a photo at 3.0MB and the client receives a 98KB size. Is there a particular photo format that does not compress? I am usng Mountain Lion with an iMac. All photos are processed with Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and Graphic Converter 8.5.1.
I have reviewed all system, mail and third-party preferences to make sure nothing is checked to "adjust for web", or the like. Your thoughts will be much appreciated to help solve this vexing mystery.

Be sure the Image Size pop-up at the upper right corner of the message body, after attaching a picture, is set to "Actual Size".

Why are my outgoing emails from my IPad rejected by my server

I Cannot send email from my IPad. I get a box saying "message in outbox. Recipient rejected by the server". I have checked settings and can send successfully to same recipients from my computer and IPhone. I've switched off and restarted IPad and just been to my computer and checked I can get on web and send message ok from there.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

How do I save to outgoing email attachments folder in 8 as I did in 5?

I just upgraded from PSE 5 to PSE 8 and I use Incredimail, not Outlook. In PSE 5 there was an option to save outgoing email attachments to a folder for subsequent manual attachment to my email message. The online help seems to suggest this as the solution as well. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to set this up in PSE 8. In prefrences, the only options are Outlook, Outlook Express and Adobe Email Service. When I go through the routine of sending an email through Outlook (which is installed on my computer but which my wife does not use), the attachment can be found in a very deeply rooted Temp subdirectory. In PSE 5 I could cause it to be saved in a subdirectory under My Pictures/Adobe directory sorted by date of creation of email attachment. Can anyone please advise how to accomplish this in PSE 8? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's an application by application feature/standard that they need to adhere to. I have no problem with Photoshop doing what you describe. Check your Photoshop Preferences. Does this happen in every application?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
Good luck,

Why are my deleted emails saving in my 'pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved in my pictures??????

Why are my deleted emails saving in 'my pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved
in my pictures??????

I deleted emails from my windows emails and when I went into my pictures there was all my recently deleted items as pdf adobe files and I cannot right click and delete. But why would my deleted emails be going to my pictures in the first place. So i think it must be in how the adobe program is set up and need to know how to change the settings so my deleted emails are not sent to my pictures.I do not know what other details you would require?

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library.

Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library now rendering the search bar on right of screen useless.

Also, why would my music play at all when I turn iTunes Match off and delete all tracks off the phone? Home sharing also disabled. It is very odd!

That has no effect on emails that you receive.

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

Outgoing email attachments

when I add a photo attachment (jpeg) to an outgoing email, does Apple mail automatically compress it, or is it sent as the size it was when I attached it. thanks joanlvh

No email client such as the Mail.app automatically compresses attachments but attachments must be encoded before being sent which is done automatically by the email client.
The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for attachment encoding/decoding which is the internet standard.
The encoding process increases the size of the pre-encoded file and MIME isn't very efficient in this regard. MIME encoding increases the size of the pre-encoded file by roughly 50% or so. As an example, a pre-encoded file size of 5 MB will be roughly 7.5 MB in size after the encoding process.
To confirm this, check the size of a file to be attached to a message before adding the file as an attachment to a new message without any text. After attaching the file to the message, the message size is provided at the bottom left of the message window. The size of the message without any text will be larger (roughly 50% larger) than the size of the pre-encoded file.

Why are 2 different date formats being used in thunderbird?

Hello
in the attachment you will see that the listing of emails (on the left) is shown using UK date format DD/MM/YY (that's what I want), however, the message content panel shows the date in the US format MM/DD/YY (I definitely do not want this).
Why are 2 different formats being applied in Thunderbird, and how can I get both to be UK DD/MM/YY please.
Many thanks
Lord Elpus

I should have said :
this is Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Image resent due to previous failure.

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

Outgoing Email Message Being Clipped

This is the weirdest thing but in the last a couple of weeks on some of my outgoing email messages they are being clipped when my recipients receive them usually by a couple of sentences or in some cases paragraphs. I'll get replies back from people asking what happened or requesting clarification and I'll look down through the reply and it will just cut off. I've never ever had this happen before.
I'm using an Exchange 2007 setup on Snow Leopard and Dell PC at work on XP through Outlook 2010 Beta and Outlook 2007 and it only seems to happen on messages that I've composed in Mail on SL. When I look through the sent messages folder on both machines the full text transcription of the message is there, but people are getting ones that are cut off.
As you can imagine it's especially embarrassing on business related emails... any ideas or hypothesis on what may be causing this... could it be something with my Exchange provider... it's MailStreet if that helps.
Thanks for helping me out!

The email? I did. Like I said, I deleted it from the outbox. I sent a second through Gmail, with fewer pictures in it, but it added to the clutter. So I tried deleting that one, no luck. I deleted the account from which it was to be sent, Gmail, still nothing. I went into airplane mode hoping it would break the connection but it just started trying again once I reconnected.
