Since my upgrade to High Sierra, I can't download, read, quicklook ..... almost any attachments.
Especially PDF documents are problematic. It shows a light blue sign "Dowloading" under the file icon.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13)
I have this issue also. I have tried all the suggestions above, but I cannot open some attachments they are stuck downloading. Not all attachments have this issue. Just from certain people sending them. PDF Documents Jpgs from particular clients are all stuck not downloading. If I ask my client to send the attachments to my gmail account, I can then go to Gmail through my browser to download the attachments. I have tried going to mail on iCloud.com through the browser, but they are not downloading from there either. All started happening after upgrading to high sierra and iOS11. I have an iPad still on iOS10, but the same emails with attachments are still stuck.
Same here, I can't download eMail attachments . Not sure switching rules are the (only) solution. Attachments with eMails in my inbox which have not be redirected by rules fail to download, too.
I can confirm what K33DMT writes. Switching rules off helps cut down the number of glitches but the "incomplete download" problem still eventually occurs.
Manage is under the Storage tab.
Thanks for the info, but it didn't work for me.
Yes I have this problem also
Yes that would work. Can't wait to see the script you write!
You are a genius ! Thank you !
Good share!
I gonna try this!
Thank you sir.
A couple of weeks back I submitted this to the Apple Bug Reporter, but it got listed as a duplicate bug report so I won't be able to see the status updates. But they definitely know about this bug.
Worked perfectly, thanks
I have installed 10.13.4 update, but unfortunately I found out the bug is not fixed yet.
Mail app version is 11.3 (3445.6.18).
I just updated to 10.13.4 and tested this.
This bug is NOT FIXED in 10.13.4 😟 😟 😟
Thanks for taking the time with Apple and for letting us know, Paul. Fingers crossed!
I turned off the "send large attachments using Mail Drop" in Mail preferences and it has worked better : can't say its a complete solution yet... but it seems to work most of the time
The restart worked for me, although this seems a pretty extreme measure to get this problem fixed!
Mail 11 (High Sierra): mail attachments "downloading" but never actually download
