Q: Mail attachments disappeared with Sierra
-
Sep 23, 2016 8:51 AMby pedro ramon,More information:
I opened one email with an attachment directly copied from my El Capitan backup and opened it in Sierra Mail app by doublecliking. It was working perfectly the attachment was visible.
I searched the same email in Sierra Mail App and the attachment was not anymore readable (just a question mark appears instead).
Conclusion: I thing that, while importing mailboxes, sierra mail is corrupting a part of the emails (.emlx) which are after import not anymore readable !

Sep 27, 2016 5:04 AMby PliniusSecundus,I have too this issue, there's a workaround, not a definitive one, but if you drag the mail on your desktop and double click the attachment, it opens; strange but true, I've tried to send a message from a second account I've configured in mail, the sent one is fine, the received is locked, more strange is that if you search for the attachment and open it with spotlight, it works ... a mail bug for sure, the message is not corrupted. We all are waiting for a quick fix

Sep 27, 2016 9:18 AMby PliniusSecundus,Yet another possible bug, just discovered this evening; at first, seen that attachment were apparently gone, i thought of a lack of permissions due to conversion from old mail directory, then launched a rebuild on all mail boxes, now I see that al least two messages have gone, pretty sure that I have not deleted for mistake, may be a coincidence, but these are the very first messages received with sierra, and belong to my second account, they are not s/mime messages: it would be a great idea to not mess with mail until next upgrade.
N.B: Just now finished to upgrade a spare partition loaded with my El Capitan backup, in the same mailbox, old messages are perfectly visible, the new, received with Sierra, are not.
