  • Cannot fetch email with attachments

    From Esben@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 24 10:02:53 2016
    I can't fetch email with attachments any longer. Task progress stalls. I
    have to login to webmail and delete the next file in wait and I can
    download the next few emails until the next attachment shows up and
    stalls the "Checking mail". Have tried reinstalling Eudora in my Fusion
    VM, but that doesn't help.

    Any ideas?

    For how long?

    How big are those attachments, how fast is your connection?

    Maybe next time progress stalls check the network activity with ActivityMonitor.

    Seems there were still emails with pictures. I downloaded and deleted
    them. Eudora then did - as it has been tending to do: goes in to
    spinning beach ball and I force-quit.

    Next things after new start is that I receive attachments in an email.
    Was about to cancel my original post, but you were so kind as to answer.

    So still don't see a clear pattern here. But sure pulls me in the
    direction of giving up Eudora all together...

    Thanks again!

    Yes, there are a few too many issues like this lately. I have decided it
    is time, but still working out where to go to...

    (One place it won't be is Gmail in a web browser.)

    Good to know others experience it as well. I'm still having problems.

    Dont hold much reagrd for Apple Mail, but it's supposed to be well-integrated, right?! ;-)

    esben

    Yes, but recent versions have been pretty bug-ridden. And serious bugs
    too.

    I am leaning towards Thunderbird at this stage, although it does have a
    few unsatisfactory aspects. I have to look at MailMate in more depth. It
    seems very powerful, but requires a completely different way of
    thinking. Only IMAP too.

    OK I thought (/hoped) it was getting better...

    I am leaning towards Thunderbird at this stage, although it does have a
    few unsatisfactory aspects. I have to look at MailMate in more depth. It seems very powerful, but requires a completely different way of
    thinking. Only IMAP too.

    Would need another provider to run everything IMAP. Might make a new
    virtual machine and see if that helps...
