Why am I having trouble receiving attachments from my husband's computer. He sends me an email with an attachment; when I open the email, the attachment is not there. It happens all the timer. Both of us are using OS X version 10.4.11.
How do I make sure my attachments to emails appear as icons and not as open files? Once they appear as open files I can double click and select 'view as icon' but they don't stay that way. When I send or file the email the attachment is usually open again.
I use the mail app for my business and private e-mail account. In my business mail signature, there is the company logo, a facebook and twitter icon. Every time I send an e-mail, the recipient received these logos/icons as attachments, and also receives .htm files as attachments, showing the complete signature, previous related mails etc. Is there any way I can disable this, if I just send one attachment I want the recipient to get only that attachment, and not 7 or 8 attachments...Â

When I click on a link on any web page, a "bubble" travels across the screen and "enters" the history icon. I then have to open History to find the link and then click on it. It then moves to a tab under the bookmarks bar and I have to click on that in order to open the link. This problem started suddenly today, several weeks after I upgraded to OS X Lion. Everything was fine before. My Safari is version 5.1.3.
I'm using MacOSX and Mac Mail. The cub scouts send a weekly newsletter via Scouttrack. When I view this on the Mac, I cannot see any attachments; it's like they are not there at all. When I view it from Outlook on a PC, it doesn't show the little paper clip, but when I open the email, then I can see that the attachments are there.
Is there any way to get the mail application on the Mac to recognize that there are attachments in the email??
When my ISP changed from Patmedia to Comcast I changed all my iCal notifications to my new email address. I deleted all references to my old address in Address Book on my computer and on the Mobil Me Address Book as well as deleting the address in Previous Recipients in Mail. I am getting mail from "postmaster@mac.com" that it can't deliver mail to my old mail address. So iCal is still trying to send a reoccurring reminder to this addressfrom somewhere. How can I address this problem? PowerPC G5 Mac, OS 10.5.8, Mail 3.6, iCal 3.0.8
Over the past several weeks, occasionally my computer emits 2-4 dongs and then the email sent sound, and then it does it again, and again until I either shut off the wireless connection or shut down Mail. There is nothing visible in my sent mail or nothing that I can see anyway. I have scanned my computer with VirusBarrier X6 with an uptodate definition list and it does not find anything.My console report during this time interval looks as follows... with the mail line at the end of the sequence when I reopened "Mail"  Â

I have had this issue with my address book for a while in that it creates new entries with just an email address as the actual entry and then hundreds of other email addresses from address book as this entry's additional email addresses.Â
At the same time I had an issue with Apple Mail that I thought was unrelated but now I am not that sure anymore. When I turn Apple Mail on, it sends out emails that look like an endless chain of responses (spam) to the same email that advertises all kinds of stuff.Â
When I first noticed the issue I turned Mail off (a year ago). After updating to Lion I tried to use mail again but had the same issue and have not been using it since. But I appear to still find new entries in my address book all the time.Â
I ran some software (ClamX) but wasn't able to find any malware so far. I can't imagine someone hacking into my machine and doing all this my hand. For what?Â
So I am wondering whether anyone has had similar symptoms on their Mac?
when I receive attachments in e mail I am sometimes unable to open them in Safari Mail I am running Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. All the e maols are from Windows Computers.
I have hopefully a question one of you can help me with. On my MacBook when I open a file - for example a zip file that has pictures in it that I receive in an e-mail. Until recently I would clik on the zip file to open it and get a "Opening Attachments .zip" box which is normal. I would then have the option to open the file (default is Stuffit Expander") or "Save File." I always click "Save File" and until recently the file, whether it's a zip file, or just a single file, would open on my DESKTOP. Well I must have changed something because they no longer are opening on my desktop...and I'm not sure where they are opening up and being stored. So long intro to hopefully easy question. Since the Opening Attachments box doesn't have an option to where that "Save" option puts that file, where can I go to find out where it's saving these files to?
i am using mac osx 10.6.4 with snow leopard and i am using mail but when i get an email with a pps/jpeg/wav file i delete the email after opening and looking at it,but the other day i found loads of pps/wav/jpeg and other stuff left even after deleteing the email,does anyone know of a way that when i delete the email it clears the lot ?also my google chrome browser says that there is a new update but when i click on update it gives me a error 12-any ideas about this please ?
I recently got a new Macbook Pro 15 and love it. I recently went to "all images" in my hard drive and realized that my laptop took every single email attachment from my email (this includes videos, pictures, and documents) and put it on my hard drive. I had over 3500 pictures I didn't want! Why did it do this and how do I ensure that it doesn't happen again?)
I have a new MacBook Pro and when I get emails with attachments the attachments aren't showing up? What do I need to do so I can always see attachments?

We have a Mac user trying to send attachments in an email to a PC recipient. She is using Apple's Mail app. Whenever she tries to attach a file - a JPEG for instance - it seems to attach as an inline graphic rather than a normal attachment. The PC recipient gets no paperclip symbol on their end, and can't do anything with it. I'm assuming this may be a preference setting in Mail, but can't seem to find where to change it. Turning on the "Send Windows-friendly attachments" seems to make no difference.
When I download an attachment from an email, for e.g. an excel file, it goes to my downloads folder. All is good. Now, I also noticed it goes to a folder username/library/mail downloads/ excel file. I was not aware of this. Is this by default? Is there a way to not have files download to this folder? I only say this because I download a lot of large files that I send to home from home. They are already in my downloads folder when I save them. I don't want them also in the mail downloads folder creating double space.
I am trying to open emails with attachments - however although the email indicates that it has an attachment, when I open the email I am unable to see or open the attachment? I have Outlook for Mac 2011
When I email a number of jpegs as attachments (from newly acquired iMac) to pc users they are unable to view them as attachments.
I have removed the auto signature and also changed to Palin Text as suggested in other threads but still no joy!
I also tried a solution suggested in another thread that involved typing something into Terminal which shows works at iMac end to show jpgs as individual attachments but there is no clip when it arrives in outlook on pc just a joined up line of thumbnails.
we regularly have to send emails with several images attached - I know you will suggest using the zip folder but many businesses block these from their systems and the folders are stripped from the email.
When I scan a document with Preview, and I want to attach it to an email, it will not let the attachment show just as a PDF file. It always opens the document in the email. Can this be changed?
I am having trouble with email attachments coming into AOL on my imac from one sender. When I click on attachments that are labeled simply as .jpg, they become .jpg.flv files and while I can view them (they open in Quicktime), I can't save them as photos..... No such problem with same attachments on my pc....
Just recently, my email recipients are getting my sent image embedded in the email so they can not download them. This is particular to jpegs and some zipped files. Mac OSX 10.9.3 I am using iMail. It also doesn't seem to matter of I send it from a POP or IMAP account. It is happening to both Mac and PC users.
Every time I try to browse my Mac either from Safari or Firefox or when trying to attach a file with Mail browsing a file (dragging and dropping it in the new message works fine) it freezes the program up and the only way to get out of the process is to force the exit.
I tryed to read around for any solution but I couldn't solve it yet. In other words, I cannot upload files to internet since when i look at what I have on the Mac the program get stuck and the colored ball keeps turning forever...
I'm using OS10.9.3 and everything is up to date as far as software.
