I have problem with bult in Gmail app. Everything is set up ok (one gmail account with 4 pop3 accounts conect), plain txt is ok, but when i click "Download" attachment (or view) there is only pop up window "Please wait, downloading" and nothing else. 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.

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.
Hi
I get the sending.... hanging problem with the galaxy s built in gmail app.
clearing the cache doesn't work, and using the other email app wont attach video , it just says too big.
what are the good alternative email programs?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm using K-9 Mail via an IMAP Account and are fairly happy with it. Only one thing: Push-Mail via IMAP-Idle drains the Battery like Hell... but a 15 Minute poll is fair enough (shorter Intervals are also available).
And it is FOSS...
Bye

cheers K9 came up in a google search, it sounds good
I turn off sync with email and check it manually when i want to.
its more about sending an email and it actually getting there . where the gmail app fails .
I check my mail on my main computer, but use my phone to 'quick check' stuff. but if an app is a 'beast that takes ages to open' that would be a pain. I didn't think about battery life, (cheers for that). so many apps just run in the background on my galaxy s. as much as i love it, it is another crazy computer in my life .
is K9 a free app or advertising/donation?
also any other suggestions welcome too
Are you sure the gmail app is failing? If you've got your phone to manually sync, the email will never send. The gmail app does not send emails as per request, they are put in a queue and sent out only when the phone syncs. Try it now. Send an email and keep syncing disabled. Nothing happens. Hi options the. Choose refresh option and I will push through the queued emails. As for file size limit, I wouldn't know but I have added a total of 5.8mb in an email which sent fine.
Edit: re read your post. Use the gmail app and try what I said, it has no issues with file size like other **** apps.

K9 is free open source software without any kind of adds or something else.

send sometimes works
sometimes doesn't (usually when i attach pic or video)
i can send very small test messages by clicking refresh

i always use refresh to send the email with sync disabled
its a know issue
the file size issue is to do with the 'other' email program that came with my phone.
I've ruled both out as not fit for purpose.
but i don't want to try hundreds of apps so i thought a few good recommendations might help.
cheers anyway, but I'm giving up on the gmail app.
quick update:
I've tried K9
it had success sending video attachments (that were stuck on gmail app or cancelled on the other galaxy s email app)
the bad
when it set up, it took ages (i have 1000s of email on my gmail account. so it could just be that)
it doesn't seem to group the emails (like replies from forums etc) can i set the settings to do this?
the names like expunge and poll (empty trash and refresh)
it seems a bit slower than the gmail app? but i could just be me
i'm trying to get used to the scrolling left and right in messages.
the good
it showed the full message
it could send video attachments to gmail (is 25mb max for gmail)
it sent the items (unlike the gmail app)
it seems pretty equipped with options
looks ok
I'm still not sure
What else might i try?
ok
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S
I shoot 3 videos (all 3 are about 7mb)
Gmail can handle attachments up to 25MB
Gmail app always gets stuck on sending (with no warning to let you know its not sent)
MMS wont convert the files
Other Email app wont accept the file size
K9 sends them (which is a step forward)
but doesn't group messages by conversation
also it has the push always running (i don't know what push is)
and seems to always be checking my mail (I don't mind exploring the oddly named and confusing settings if its the program i am going to use)
also the built in gmail app shortens messages so replies from this forum wont display the link to the topic (pretty annoying) the other built in email app does display the link long enough to click.
I feel very frustrated.
I just wanted to send a couple of funny videos to my friend via any means.
And it feels like my Samsung Galaxy S is just completely against me doing this in any easy fashion
I might keep K9 but turn all the setting to check the email off and use it if i want to send a file.
how do i turn the check mail settings off on k9 (the options are confusing, confusingly named, and different depending on where you are in the program.
if i turn K9 off, and use it only occasionally will it take ages to open if i keep all my messages on the server?
Or is there a fourth email program:
that opens fast
groups the messages
sends attachments up to 25mb
Cheers
i tried Maildroid but he adds were annoying.
back to K9:
How do i stop K9 automatically checking mail?
and how do stop the k9 mail service app running constantly (i assume its the push thing)
I'm thinking of keeping the app on there to send files by email, and for links that don't show up properly like replies from this forum. but i don't want it spanking my battery or checking for emails
How do i set it up for "there when i need it"?
the options are confusing and have nonsense kind of names.
Cheers
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.
Try "Download all files" free from the market.

best solution i think
There are some attachments, like zip files, that cant be downloaded trough gmail app. Why does google limit what kind of attachments a user can download using gmail app is beyond me, so Ive tried to install two apps Download all files and Download buddy, however none of them work.
There is a partial solution to before mentioned problem which includes using a browser to download the attachments, but this defeats the whole purpose of standalone gmail app.
How are you guys handling downloading the attachments that are not download supported in gmail app?

Noticed this too, haven't found a fix yet though
Ive switched from gmail to k-9 mail, which allows me to normally download attachments without "discrimination". One less google app on my phone
advise replacing the standard gmail
try web based gmail, however, its working with me.
The market application lets me install apps just fine. On first use I could sync my contacts and also the email app was working just fine, I could send emails and read them with no problems.
Now every time I open the hotmail app it keeps on saying that I entered a wrong password, even if the password is absolutely correct (triple-checked by logging in manually via browser app and PC browser). The "e-mail and accounts" section in settings also has an orange "warning" text written under the Windows Live account. Trying to login from there fails as well. Probably syncing fails as well, but I haven't tried yet.
<< can't embed image, please see attachment "Screenshot (2)" >>
Every time I log in it seems it has gone well, gets me to the emails screen (with all my old emails shown correctly) and then suddenly bumps me back to the login screen with the wrong password error:
<< can't embed image, please see attachment "Screenshot" >>
If I press the back button it will bring me to the emails screen, but I cannot sync emails anymore, nor send emails and everything.
I have already tried the LEO Advanced option "Live ID switch", it lets me insert the login details from scratch but the result then is the same.
Can anyone help me please?
