Unable to download attachments from my hotmail emails
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
What exactly happens when you try?
What are the attachments? Photos or just what?
Are yo using Mac Mail app?
Can you access the attachments via webmail?
I am using Hotmail. The attachments are all the above. It goes to the download icon,but will not open. I can access on line,
Thank you for the help
Using Howmail where n the Mac? In the Mac Mail app?
What does all the above mean in " The attachments are all the above"?
What are the attachments? photos?
Attachments are photos, word docs,etc. When I click download it moves to the Mac Download Icon in the dashboard and to hotmail icon in the upper right,but when I click to open from these icons it dons open.
Are the attachments embedded in the mail message?
Or in the attachments section of the message?
From what app were they sent from and what OS?
So nothing happens when you click on them? No message?
If you go to finder and right click on an attachment and select Get Info what is displayed?
In attachment section of email. I don't know. I click down load on the attachment and it flies to the download icon. I go to the icon and click on that and it does not open.
I do not understand the finder question and I do no have a mouse
Thank you for all your help
How are you clicking without a mouse?
Again "From what app were they sent from and what OS?"?
The attachments should be in yur Downloads folder. Go there and use Get Info to see what that says about the file
You can specify the folder to be used for downloaded attachments etc. in Mail > Preferences > General pane.
If you have inadvertently pointed that to a folder for which you do not have Write access, you will not be able to save downloads. I believe the default is the "Downloads" folder under your Home folder.
