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.

Two options to open winmail.dat files:

TNEF's enough, a decoder of winmail.dat. of Josh Jacob also available on the App Store.

  • I changed my gmail password on my Mac mail application, but she always asks the password on my ipad

    I changed my google / password gmail via Safari on my Mac and used a password generated Safari. The email clients on all my devices began to ask for the password. I entered manually on my MacBook, but each device is still asking for the new password. I have iCloud on all devices with active Keychain, I missed something because I thought that the password should be migrated to all other e-mail clients. Is there a way to do this automatically because the auto generated passwords are difficult to remember without having to type in and in more you can not copy and paste of the keychain, entry to the app on the iPad.

    Thanks for any help.

    Greetings, tmoore2310!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I see that your gmail password has been updated on your MacBook Pro upgrade to Mac OS Sierra. You also made certain that the iCloud Keychain on your Mac was aware of the update, but devices still require this password. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    The first thing you want to make sure of is that you are connected to the same iCloud ID on all your devices. If it is in order, read this article to learn more, especially in this section:
    Get help using iCloud keychain

    If you cannot synchronize iCloud Keychain with other devices

    Make sure that your device is on a Wi - Fi or the cellular network. If the connection seems strong, try the following steps:

    1. turn off iCloud Keychain on all devices.
    2. turn on iCloud Keychain on the device that has the most up-to-date keychain items.
    3. turn on iCloud Keychain on your other devices. They will be updated with your iCloud new keychain.

    Have a great day!

    "Click the Mail menu and select the preferences option. Select your account and update your password in the password field. Click on icon close this window, and then click Save. »

  • Inbox Gmail takes to always appear entirely in Mac Mail

    I'm a long-time Gmail user. I have Mac Mail 9.3 (3124) and use several different servers IMAP e-mail with ease. Gmail, not so much.

    When I go on my Gmail inbox, often only the last element displayed, apparently forever, and that happens when I share my Gmail inbox and then swap back. It; s for a jam. Abandonment of post and reopening has no significant effect. Sometimes, I have to wait for what seems like the rest of my life before older messages that the last are shown for me.

    In my other IMAP accounts, this is not the case. They are more nearly instantaneous by displaying a 'full screenload' as makes no difference.

    My viewing preferences are set this way:

    I would rather not change those unless those who are the real problem.

    The problem may have started a major release of OS or two it y a. I spent Snow Leopard live in Yosemite, and I remember Mail behave strangely and then or then-abouts

    Why use gmail instead of your ISP anyway? You are already paying for it. Gmail is not secure. There's a reason Google allows you to use for 'free '. Try to read the terms and conditions. You can use an email address free iCloud. Implicitly, it comes with your Apple device, so you really paid for it already.

  • Mac mail Gmail expires

    I use Mac Mail with imap to access my institutional email account, which is managed by Google. Very, very often, when I put them to the top of my window in Mail for Mac, there will be a small triangle with an exclamation point inside, next to the icon of my box 'in '. If I click on it, I get a dialog box with a message stating that the connection with the Gmail server has expired. Usually, that takes care of itself in about ten minutes, but it's pretty boring, and I wonder if it is what I can do about it. We do not have a DSL Internet connection very slow, but it is much more reliable than the problem of frequent timeout suggest.

    Some suggestions that you can try.

  • How UNSYNC Mac Mail and Gmail, so the messages are only 'read' on each device?

    Hello

    I use Mac Mail and Gmail with my own domain through Google Apps.

    My account managers have personal emails (IE [email protected] & [email protected]) and they also have an email that they all use two ([email protected]) which is set up on both of their computers for if someone is sick, they know what the other is working on.

    The problem is that when one of them reads an email on the "[email protected] email, mark it as read on the enamel of the other person too.» Is there some way to do so a new message arrives and he scored only as read email when each person reads it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't think so. Google apps uses IMAP or ActiveSync, which are intended to reflect all changes across the mailbox is used. Looks like you're after more than one distribution from the list which will copy the email in each personal users box, as a list of all the staff, but as you have several accounts, which could become confusing.

    It might be worth looking at login via POP - if Google allows. POP basically just download all will send them on the sync server and custom changes (providing check you what are the options in the account settings). It is not guaranteed that POP is not generally pushed, so will check every 5 min or so - and if someone read and email deleted at this time, it will not download a copy.

    Alternative would be to set up rules that transmits an entrant copy each users mailbox and that filter in a subfolder, but this all duplicate and the habit of thinking whats been answered or deleted in the source mailbox.

    I hope that makes sense...

  • Mac Mail project rejoinder, lost drafts & issue crashing

    I have two problems with Mac mail that I can't understand:

    Question 1: In the last week, my mac mail crashed several times a day. Recent update maybe?

    Even more annoying is 2nd edition, that I can't seem to solve and can't find an answer because - it is a little hard to explain, so I'll do my best.

    Question 2:Mac mail creates several copies of my e-mails from project. To the point where there are problems with version control.

    For example, let's say that this request for assistance is my project (copy 1) then I relax and move to something else, so I save then close it by clicking on the red button.

    When I return in Mail/drafts he is there and I open it to start working on it again. (copy 2).

    Then I realize account that I need additional information if I get some searching I save and close the bottle again and come back later to open it again in mail/drafts (copy 3).

    Then later I realise that whenever I open the project in the mail, it opens several windows (I didn't at first because only the most recent project window is on top)

    Say that I finish the mail and send the - no problem because at least the last version was sent and when I see these other copies I say delete or not to save them.

    The problem comes when I didn't send the mail and I need to save the latest copy for later. Because now, when I go to close the other copies of the draft (1 and 2) he asks me if I want to save them. If I do, I'm saving a previous version and I lose the most recent content in the copy 3. If I say no to save and delete, the entire project went often (and not in my trash, incidentally) OR only the oldest version somehow is saved.

    It's the most annoying thing on my mac. If anyone can understand this point, I would love.

    I should mention that I use Gmail as well. I shoot these accounts in e-mail and use the settings recommended in this forum, Apple. I always learned that when using Gmail I should not store drafts on the server but now I lost enough recent changes to project that I'm ready to start doing exactly what that. I have attached the screenshot of my settings.

    Any help is appreciated.

  • Mac Mail showing a plugin in/Users/USER/location when there is no user named USER account

    Thanks in advance for your comments. I'm hopelessly confused and I was afraid that my infected machine.

    I tried running Mac Mail a couple of times and it stopped on me. Then the third time it closes that I received an error message that a plugin has caused the problem. The path of the Plugin is listed as /Users/USER/Library/Mail/*/HockeySDK.framework/Versions/A/HockeySDK and the Plugin identifier is net.hockeyapp.sdk.mac.

    I searched using terminal, finder and the console for a user named 'USER' on my mac account. I see users root are my user name.

    I understand that it is possible to hide a user account, but have you tried the commands that should display all hidden user accounts and they have not revealed a user named USER account. To be clear, I have tried all the standard ways in the terminal to find a user account and cannot.

    Is someone can you please tell me if my Mac is infected with some hidden user account? Here are some of the comments of the 'details and System Configuration problem' as the form of question will allow me to answer:

    Process: Mail [2868] path: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail ID: com.apple.mail Version: 9.3 (3124) build Info: Mail-3124000000000000 ~ 2 Type of Code: X 86-64 (Native) Parent process:? [1] background: mail [2868] User ID: 501

    Found the same thing via a report of incidents for mail:

    Path of the PlugIn: /Users/USER/Library/Mail/*/HockeySDK.framework/Versions/A/HockeySDK

    The identifier for the PlugIn: net.hockeyapp.sdk.mac

    PlugIn version: 3.2.0 (31)

    It seems to be a related e-mail folder.

    In my case, I get this report due to a persistent fall whenever I click on the "Get new mail" icon in the mail.

    I wonder if someone answers this question could enlighten us as well.

    Thank you.

    I have been in contact with my technical support of Verizon.  There is no problem to an end, but my Mac Mail account can send but not receive mail.  What happened three times during the month.  Each time than previous, Verizon has found a problem locally, for their purpose and in a few hours, it has been corrected.

    This time the problem was upstream at the highest tech people.  They told me that there must be a problem of registration with Mac Mail and I need to contact Apple.

    I tried physician connection without success.

    I've never had a problem with Verizon email on my Mac. In your case, Verizon has already said that they have been twice at fault. I'm guessing that this time is not different.
