When I click on an email attachment, it doesn't pop up a window allowing me to save the attached file; only a button to open. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!
Thanks,
Adam

Are you using the Gmail app or the browser to saving the attachments?
The app wont let you save attachments while the browser will.

I'm using the email app; it's not a gmail account, it's a pop3 email. I sent a couple different files, and when I send a picture it has a download option, but not for mp3s.
I was able to download a mp3 file using the stock android browser.

I tried to clear cache, clear data, but it doesent work.
Jpg, small, big, videos, pdf. Same effect
Do you have astro file manager? If so try turning of the setting that lets the browser download all file types, this is supposed to interfere with gmail attachments.

Ok, Ive played and looked for a way to do this and i cant seem to get it? Does anyone else have more then one email in the email app, and if so how do you switch between email boxes? The only time i can look at a different box is when i get an email and the phone alerts me i have an email there?!
Press the menu button when you're in the e-mail application.. it should give you some options.
Nope, just select all, Folders, Compose, Refresh, Email Settings.....I checked all not in there

What's under folders? I'd expect your inbox to be there..
go to messaging instead and select the inbox you want.
while i'm new to android, i believe that the email app goes to your default account.

OMG thank you. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to see all my email folders.
Yea...I did the same thing and couldnt figure it out for a little bit. Really pissed me off, but now I just have "Messaging" as an icon and i can select which email from there.
I get message that file won't upload---what is wrong
I have not had issues. Though that's a really vague question u got

While it may have no bearing on your issue, I found Dropbox and Android to be a little confusing until I realized you don't "save to" Dropbox but do "Send to" Dropbox as in sending an email. Most of the time, the application gives you an option to "send" the file and a selection, if Dropbox is installed, is to Dropbox (like SMS, MMS, email etc...).
Like I said, maybe this has no bearing on your issue.

You might want to check out SpiderOak as opposed to Dropbox, much more secure & a little more complicated. They both have there plus's & minus's.

I've never heard of them before. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to set up an account and see how they stack up against dropbox.

Hi, scratching my head on this one. This concerns the stock Email app, used with an exchange account, or pop3, or IMAP, tried all 3 and same result.
I get an email with an attachment, it shows a paperclip symbol in the inbox. Tapping the email to open it, I get the sender, below that the subject, then below that the body. No attachment shows anywhere whatsoever.
Now, if I then press the top right envelope icon, and select 'forward', i get a compose screen to forward the message, and well I never - the attachment shows up!!
So for now, in order to view an attachment, I have to open the email and then select the option to forward it, only then can I see it and open it! Any ideas what's going on?
(Please don't say install another client, i don't want that, I'm trying to discover why the default one is doing this!)
TIA
Does it happens with all kind of attachments ?
I have my mail synced to exchange,mail with inserted pictures for example shown like
paperclip and i can open them as attachments,until I press "load more details" ,then attachment disappears in to the body of the mail.

best solution i think
First time so far that I received a mail attachment. I clicked on it and get an alert that there is no program to run the file. Where's an option to save an attachment? Using the latest Gapps for my ROM.
The answer is that it's EXT sensitive. It can 't be a APK or BIN for two just have to XXX it out.

I had a problem with an app and the Dev sent me four different versions to try out as some ROMs were having a problem. I had to boot up my PC, check my mail and download/transfer to my N10. I later remembered that my mail is handled by Yahoo!, it's Uverse so I could have logged into Yahoo! mail and got the files to that way while still using the N10.
I don't use Gmail.
