Attached to incoming mail in as files winmail.dat since update iOS 10

This cannot be opened since update to iOS 10.0.1 and joined a mail of PC's entry in iPhone & Ipad as winmail.dat files. Able to access via gmail online but not by e-mail, phone etc yet another botched updated to apple I think. What happened to if it isn't broken, don't fix it!

Hi Peterboynz,

I see that your iPhone / iPad receive are formatted as files "winmail.dat" which you are unable to open attachments. I'll be happy to help you.

If your Mac email contains a winmail.dat attachment - while this article is for the emails from Mac, the question is the same. Once the sender updates their e-mail applications, messaging on a device iOS and Mac applications should be able to open the attachments.

In the meantime, he also winmail.dat readers available for both devices.

Have a great day and thank you for the communities of Apple Support.

  • I received a file winmail DAT - how to open it?

    I received a file winmail DAT - how to open it.

    I do not know.  I do not have a file association for. DAT files (Start / Control Panel / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program / analysis then list for.) (DAT).  I guess you have not either.  Your best bet is to communicate with the person who sent you the file and find out which program was used to create it-then maybe you can get the program or to find a drive for this program.  Good places to watch once you know the program are www.tucows.com and www.download.com.  Here for example is an option for some .dat to open the files that may or may not work with your (given the MANY programs produce and, even once, you need to know what program the file): http://www.winmaildat.com/ (since you say it's a winmail.dat file I hope that this link could actually work).  If it's not, and if you find the name of the program that generated the file, we can help you find something to use to play with - but we need this name (and version number).

    Good luck and I hope this has helped. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Files messed up after updating iOS photos

    I transferred photos in folders from my laptop to my iPad via iTunes.

    Now, whenever there is an update of the system, these files imported photos are completely stripped, e.g. duplicate records, containing pictures of a variety of different folders, etc. Of course I can neither move, nor delete, rename or anything else with these files, so I find myself going through a series of synchronization process through iTunes, taking usually the largest part of the day until that all is back to normal.

    (a) someone else this experience?

    (b) is there a simpler way to fix or even better to avoid this?

    Not without information - just stating that a problem is not enough

    first words - Photos or iPhoto folders contain no pictures - files contain other files or albums - albums contain photos if you need to describe celarly question

    and your post is clearly not where you see this - if the problem on your Mac or on your iPad

  • Gmail has adequate fixation, Mac Mail has winmail.dat

    Hello. One of my colleagues of the company tried to send an attachment to my email of company but in Mac Mail (Yosemite), comes as winmail.dat attachment. I send to my Gmail address instead, and it is also for Mac Mail as winmail.dat. Then, I loaded my Gmail in Chrome (to try to eliminate Mac Mail of the equation) and see the three PDFs at the bottom of the message as it should. I downloaded them (Macbook Air) of chromium as a zip (download file type by default, I guess, when there are multiple files). I opened the zip file and files three PDF are here.

    I'm sure that the sender attached not a zip - archive she joined three PDF files by e-mail. Mac Mail is somehow convert these three PDF files in a winmail.dat which I do not know how to unzip or treat. I have yet to see it from other shippers, but that the problem occurred in Mac Mail if she sent to my address, or my Gmail address AND since Gmail itself in Chrome was fine, the problem seems to be local to my BONES.

    Any advice? Thank you.

  • Why not send txt to help Outlook attached pdf files that arrive as winmail.dat

    I send PDFs as email attachments Outlook to a list that includes my wife and myself. We use gmail and both use you bird as our customer on our home computer. His end like winmail.dat, while mine are fine. And hers is very good, although it is still in gmail. I tried to send these files by using the plain txt format in Outlook, but it does not help. What to do next?

    I assume you mean Outlook, the program which is part of the office, rather than Outlook on the web, the new iteration of Hotmail and Live Mail.

    There is an ancient framework in the address book since the first days of Outlook that allows you to specify a format for sending on a per recipient basis. It's hard to find now, but if you place the cursor to the recipient in the message header area and then open the Outlook properties, you can check that the recipient is not individually designated for Outlook Rich Text Format. I have attached a screenshot for reference to screen.

    If this is not it, you could try Microsoft support forums, as it might be too obscure for this one.

  • Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

    Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT & T/Yahoo Mail translates "a file has been downloaded. Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and earlier versions. Go to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems like it might be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies), but this has not fixed the problem. I disabled the read pdf and that did not help either.

    Some problems seem to be solved using DO NOT for old favorites.
    Use rather this link mail.yahoo.com as suggested by philipp's post under /questions/978924 #answer - 510272

    Hello
    Can you please confirm if this similar to other users who have reported issues downloading attachments in Yahoo mail. Can you please try this with Firefox in safe mode to see if that helps.

    1. Firefox has stopped downloading of attachments - 971042 #.
    2. Firefox won't download files - 978766 #.

    Based on your confirmation, we will check that and raise a Firefox bug if necessary.

    Thank you for your help

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • mail and deleting files

    Hello

    I need help. I created a file named Appl5, write something in it and close it. Then, I open the same file, read the contents, and use this content as a body of the email. and at the same time use this file as an attachment to e-mail. and then send my email and finally delete the file.

    the problem is here:

    -I am not able to delete the file

    could someone take a look?
