Why is my mail downloads enter this obscure chain of records?  / Library/containers/com. Apple.Mail/Data/Library/Mail downloads.

I've had trouble finding my mail app downloads.  First of all, they won't in the 'Mail download' folder located in my Finder window.  Sometimes they are found in the "Downloads" folder  Other times, I can't immediately find their.  But if I search the name of the file, I noticed that my downloads in my mail application will in a download folder.  But this case is dark, buried somewhere deep in a series of folders.  Here is the chain of records for a recently downloaded file: downloads/F6320D5C-E169-47E8-9A09-00c408F1422D of tlynch/library/containers/com.apple.mail/data/library/mail.

When I look in this folder downloads deep within this chain (and from com.apple.mail...), I find that some first downloads have been stored there directly.  But there are about two and a half years each downloaded file started being placed in a separate folder.  And the names of these folders are a long string of 32 alphanumeric characters.

Are these folders the actual location of the files?  I can remove them?

Can I reset the download destination? The pointer to the location of storage in the messaging application has been corrupted? Or I need to reinstall the program?

Thanks for your help.

This obscure folder structure is the usual place for downloading attachments in the Mail and most other e-mail clients.

When you choose 'Download' the attachment, the file will be saved by default to the location defined in Mail-> Preferences-> general.

    How to ask a question
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555375 >

    It helps those answering questions if you provide:

    What is your full version of windows (32-bit or 64-bit) and service pack level. (Right-click on my computer and select properties: Windows version which is displayed on the general tab that results (for example, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1;)) Windows Vista Edition SP2 family)?

    you use what browser (exact version).

    what application anti-virus or security suite is installed and your current subscription?

    What third-party firewall

    What software anti-malware can be installed.

    What updates you trying to install? (Number of KB)

    What error do you get everything when trying to install updates?

    Please do it in your next reply.

    `~`

    Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

    (1) have your system scanned by the antivirus/security suite installed.
    (2) run this tool from Kaspersky: how to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684>

    If no malware has been detected, there's a Fixit on this page which will reset the Windows Update components:

    How to reset Windows Update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058components >

    Suggest you download and Save it. Then, close all the open programs and web browsers.
    Run Microsoft Fixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.
    After that he finished the race, see if the return code is displayed again when looking for updates.

    If not, then run the Fixit once more and choose his Aggressive mode.
    Restart once it is finished and see if the return code always appears when the updates.

    IF malware is detected, then please post if it has been removed and that the specific name of what has been detected.

  • Hello from blackBerry Smartphones. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry...

    Hello. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry AppWorld? !!! I tried several times, nothing helps. On the web page, you say there are not available from all the networks, but I think it should be available in the countries where the RIM products are sold. This is outrageous. I need some apps for my Blackberry, and I want to be able to buy them. Thanks for your help. Viktor Seres

    Hello!

    Sorry to say, but if you meet all the conditions of the requirements page you looked at it, then it won't work for you. You did not say, but if you are not in one of the countries listed, it is not yet available for you. I'm sorry that you feel this is outrageous, but that is how it is currently implemented... we all hope that RIM strives to go beyond these constraints, but are the current constraints.

    If you want to discuss this further with other users, please come to the forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and create an account... then you will be able to chat with other users concerns.

  • Why my e-mail default settings when I close

    No matter what setting suggested that I use for the Comacast email, when I close my windows live mail defaults to 25 and 110

    IM using windows 7 and IE 8.  I had no problem with the ssl settings until something happened about 3 weeks ago.

    Why my e-mail default settings when I close

    I think the answer is that nobody knows. You're not the first to have met this strange phenomenon, and I don't know its cause has been found.

    On my own machine, I found that the settings stick if I clicked work offline before changing, and then closed WLMail and waited a few minutes before re-launch (it is always a good idea to close the program after activation or deactivation of SSL). However, this does not seem to work for another user suffers from the same malaise, so YMMV.

    This kind of problem is often associated with the antivirus or other security software that reverses legitimate changes to files and some program parameters. You should check that it is not causing your problem.

  • Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you.

    Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you very much. @@

    Hi dmrmultimedias,

    I guess you are referring to the script error using the installer online.  If so, the DPI setting has been identified as the culprit.  If the DPI setting is not set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% installer will return the script error.  If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  The team is working on a fix for this.

    To check/change the DPI setting:

    1. start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

    2. in the left menu, select the custom text size (DPI)

    3. in the custom configuration Windows DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down

    4. Select OK

    5. Select apply

    6. open a session/disable

    7. online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

    This is planned which will be fixed within two 2 weeks.
