I can't seem to download attachments if they're audio files. Is there a way to fix that or a app that can help. I have a aol email account if that info is helpful
I also cant download .doc file that are attached to emails, so a way round this would be great.
That's strange... I can save .doc and .m4a from the standard mail app without problems.
You could try using K-9 Mail app instead, though. I like that one much better.
whenever i want to attached something, its always only a picture, how can i change it, for example i want to attached doc or music, etc, seems i cant find a way to do it. anyone care for a helping hand? much appreciated
Choose another file besides an image?
@ mark- have you got a file size limit set on your mail account? or on your phone?

It seems that the default Mail app only allows us to add photos as attachments. In a way that makes SOME sense, because that is the only filetype that the phone can create (by default).
K-9 mail app allows me to add music as attachment.
K-9 also forwards any file type. Unable to test forward of attachments in Mail, it seems to time out...

OK, it's been erking me for while. For the life of me, i can't seem to figure out how to download the entilre email from gmail. I asked it to download the entire email but all it does is get the email header. Is it a limitation or something?
yah i was having problems with the mail application that comes with the phone so i now use profimail which is easier to use, and i think its better. you can get it from www.lonelycatgames.com and when you install it, it comes with a free file explorer. give it a shot.
Hey. I'm a new owner of a tytn, and everything has been going great with the learning curve. his forum sure has helped! But right now, I have a question that i cross posted in another forum in the hopes that someone can help me....
I wanted to download an attachment or two I sent myself on gmail. I connected to the gmail account via their web interface, and one was a cab file, and one was a zip file. I can see the e-mail fine, and the attchment appears as a link. However, when I right click on the attachment, I do not get the option to download the attachment. It gives me the menu-
select all text
back
refresh page
favorites
add to favorites
full screen
If I click on anything on a webpage, it gives me the option to save that thing. In fact, if I right click on the paperclip indicating that attachment instead of the link, it gives me the option of saving the picture of the paperclip.
Any ideas? is it a limitation of Gmail? Will I need to get push e-mail to be able to get attachments effectively? Or perhaps really use the e-mail functions instead of web based e-mail?
don't know about google but I can download attachments from yahoo mail or hotmail (standard and mobile versions) just fine, could be a google limitation but I believe you can download attachments from google using a third party program like flexmail.
for the record, I got an answer on HoFo... and I quote:
"neo, he's not using Mobile Outlook, he seems to be using Mobile IE to do it.
Blue Puma - what you need to do is enter in the HTML version of Google into the address bar. Go to Gmail on your desktop and click HTML and then email yourself that link. That should work.
Actually, to avoid confusion, here's a link that might work:
http://mail.google.com/mail/h/m6bqty081ipc/?"
it worked like clockwork.
HELP!!! Why HD2 Email can't see jpg format..?

Sorry but your question does not make sense. The HD2, like nearly all cameras, takes photos using the .jpg format and they work (as do other jpegs from other devices too, perfectly well. If you can see the photos that you have taken then you are looking at .jpg files in the built-in HTC album app.
Could you please explain more clearly what problem you have and you will get responses from others too I am sure.

I regularly receive emails with jpeg attachments, and I view them without any problems.
What's your problem? Explain more and we can help
mines the same, just shows the red x in the corner of the box,
i think it must be somthing to do with security settings?
perhaps the original question is why the HD Sense email preview can't see html emails?
I get emails from dilbert.com that are html, when viewed in htc sense preview they are funny symbols, then when I click on the mail it goes into windows mail client and then I have to click to allow internet pictures. Perhaps this is what the original post was about?
P.S. any suggestions to make this easier for me would be good, like getting the mail client to remember the show internet pictures would be good.
You may have set e-mail with google sync (direct push) And I think that there is a problem with attachments. Despite google snyc I do not go (. Jpg, pdf, but example. Doc comes normally)
If we set the standard through the adoption of e-mail account with attachments is no problem
And so I think that google sync using a scheme that does not support a lot of attachments: (
Anyone knows solution to this problem?
IMAP email not downloading JPGs
I am having a very similar issue. I receive email via IMAP from a netaddress.com account. JPG attachment are simply not downloaded. they do not show, not even a placeholder in the message. I have set the phone to download full messages with all attachments - but no hint that a JPG is a attached to the message.
Any ideas?
Microsoft set the security on the Outlook client to not download embeded images in HTML mail.
Just open the mail up and click the download internet pictures option at the top of the mail and the images will be downloaded, and before you ask there is no-way (we have found) to disable this feature.
I have the same problem...
Both with google and imap, when I get mails with attachments I see the attachments, can click on them to download them, but then when clicking to open them I get a message saying "Unable to display document", even with simple JPGs. No way to open any image from the mail client, which is highly annoying. Anyone got an idea?
Embedded images don't work with google as mentioned, but they're fine on IMAP.
Similar problem
On my TP2 I have similar problem. In addition, when I save JPG attachment from message downloaded by IMAP account, it has zero size (0 b). Other attachments (e.g. BMP) are OK.
I have it too but it has to do something with Coreplayer of TCPMC (whatever it is called)
Coreplayer takes over all media systems when you install it. Normally i went to options and unchecked the JPEG box. But now even that does not help anymore.
So basiclly you have to change it somewhere in the options in your phone I just do not know where.
HELP!!! can't see jpg format from email attachment
On my HTC Touch HD I have the same problem.
On my IMAP account I can see a message with attachments. If they are jpg file type, after I mark and download them, they have zero size (0 b).
Other attachments (e.g. ZIP, CAB, etc) are OK.
Can anybody help us to solve this situation?
I have found that using the stock email app doesn't allow you to "open" or attach PDF files to emails.
I have three email accounts connected to the stock email app, Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail.
1) If I send an Excel or Word document to any of these accounts I get the option to "save" or "open" the attachment. However, if I send a PDF document to any of these accounts the only option is to the "save" the file. Then I have to go find it using a file manager before I can open it. I have tried Adobe PDF viewer & Thinkfree that comes on the device and neither will allow me to open PDFs in the email app.
2) The stock email application will not allow me to attach any files other than pictures. When I click attach it brings up the file manager (it appears to be the stock "my files" application) which allows me to view the SD card and won't show any other file types other than picture types. I have multiple PDFs on the SD card in various folders and NONE of them show up as being able to be attached to the email.
The weird part is that if I use the "Gmail" email application (the one that only allows gmail accounts) I can open PDFs straight from the Gmail application without saving first. I can also attach any file type using this application.
Does the stock email application suck this bad? My two co-workers with Dincs have no problem doing either of the above things.
I tried Touchdown, Maildroid & K9. They all attach all file types & open files directly from the email.
Does anyone elses mail app exhibit the same behavior as mine? Or did mine get messed up somehow.
The issue actually appears to be related to what program the email app will allow you to use to find attachments.
The stock mail program appears to use My Files, but it only allows you to see picture files. The Gmail program will only use "Gallery" to find attach files if you don't have a file explorer installed.
I have Astro installed and if you use the Gmail program and try to attach something it will ask you if you want to use Astro or the Gallery. I then went and uninstalled Astro and went back to attach a file through the Gmail App and it only allowed me to use the Gallery app to look for attachments.
So the problem actually DOES exist in the Gmail app, but the Gmail app will let you use other file explorers to look for attachments.
I just cant see how that got past whatever process they use in developing their app.... How can you design a mail app that doesn't allow you to attach anything but picture files.... I mean thats just ridiculous.
I would not recommend the Fascinate to be honest just because of this issue. Sure it can be worked around using other email apps and downloading file explorers. Its not that big of a deal if you only use Gmail, but if you heavily use exchange and have to rely on the mail app or a 3rd party mail app it sucks.
I ran into this just last night actually when I tried to open a pdf from an email.
So I emailed samsung to ask if this was intentional or not. They didn't give me a real good answer but here is what they said.
"Thank you for your inquiry. With the SCH-I500 mobile phone, you can only attach picture file types. If you would like to attach other files such as PDF files, you need to download an application through the android market for PDF application."
To me, that sounds like this was intentional and the stock mail app will never have the ability to attach anything other than pictures.

Out of curiosity, with all the great email apps that you mentioned having tried, why not just use one that does what you need it to do? That's one of the great things about Android: the stock apps are just there to get you started!

hi all, as per title,
i have been sent some pictures into my yahoo accounrt.
i can view them on my phone but there is no option to save them :-(
does anyone have any ideas?
the options and settings are limited as i can see.
i did have an excel file i sent, that opened with quick office and gave me the option to save but then the file contains none of the data on the spreadsheet.
any advice or input would be wonderfuel.
thanks.
mahender.
solved i think
when email picture attachments are donloaded, the phone saves them in the camera folder under 'downloads'
it either also then adds them to 'all pictures'
or
i have had to move them using dual file manager i have installed.
if there is another way then please let me know
i think that it will also save anything from the email. i have deleted them now but there were little facebook banners and my yearbook banners in there too.
i dont really want to download every image from an email just what i choose.
regards
mahender.
