Whenever I get a picture attached to a email there is a option to preview or download the attachment.
Choosing Preview, it just constantly sits there saying Fetching Attachment and does nothing. No activity on the 3G icon.
Preview does not work, is this just me?
if the picture is part of the email embbeded then it displays as part of the HTMl email
if it's an attachment you need something like Astro File manager to manage the download of the attachment before it can open it so you can view it

For Some reason I can not get my e-mail attachments. I set-up my e-mail as POP Mail and I could see the e-mail with attachment symbol, when I open the e-mail it says that "Message and download will download next time you connect". When I do send/receive to get the e-mail and open it, I don't see the attachment as afile in the e-mail so that I could click on it to save it to a directory.
I also directed the e-mail program to save attachment in Storage Card but when I go there I don't see anything.
Any Ideas?
you need to close the email first, then press the send and receive again.

Got it, for some reason I have to press the send/receive twice and then wait until the attachment shows up.
Thanx,

I have the same...is it really impossible to get at once?
Mine works fine now, for some reason I don't have to do anything it just downloads the attachments, try to send yourself a test attachment but don't open the mail and wait a little to see if it downloads the attachment, for some reason if you open the the e-mail it perhaps doesn't download the attachment. Did you set-up you mail to download attachments automatically and store them on the Storage Card?
I realize I'll probably get yelled at because the answer is probably somewhere painfully obvious, although I've searched and haven't found anything... How exactly do you save/downloads pictures from the browser or email, etc to your phone? I tried to do a long press and wait for the option to come up, but just isn't happening for me.
Please be nice, it's been a long day... :-/ lol
I struggled with this myself...
for the browser it is long press/hold and an option will come up, but if your at the mobile version of the website you wont be able to (except for some sites) if you switch to desktop view (full html) you will get the long press/hold options.
Email (gmail client) I have not been able to figure it out not sure if there is a way to, except for clicking the attachment and let it open on your phone then save as within the program that opened the attachment or picture, or open gmail in the browser
hope this helps a little, If someone else knows a way please shed some light
I'm trying out 2.2 and have the default email client (not Gmail) set up to sync with an exchange server. I can't open jpg files sent as attachments. I can open other formats (pdf, doc, etc).
I assume this is because the email client doesn't think there's an app set to default for jpg files, but Gallery and Astro both have viewers and open just fine when I click on a jpg file already on my device.
Does anyone know where/how I set the default jpg viewer in such a way that the email client recognizes it?
Thanks!

black moon doesn't seem to work with the default email app (not gmail). It's probably the apps problem. I don't see any way to preview on attachment. As I posted earlier,I only have this problem with jpegs. I can open other files attachments. The open/preview button just isn't there on the jpeg attachments. But thanks for the suggestions!
I was able to open email, pull down notification bar, tap down arrow of attachments, option to save or open attachment.
Cannot see any email attachments when receiving photos etc...I see the paper clip icon but no where to view and no option to download...any ideas?
Just tap the paper clip for it to download
Tried, just takes me to mail subject page..
I can
I just opened and excel Spreadsheet no problem. It works like previous WINMO phones- tap the attachment to download and them tap to view.
What format is the pic in? Are u sure it's a picture and not a video?
I copied a picture and pasted it into HTML format email.
Sent it to GMAIL and to my EXCHANGE account.
GMAIL won't download the full picture but does give reference where it came from.
EXCHANGE downloaded the picture perfectly fine. Along with the referencing link from the properties of the picture.
I have Gmail account only, I can see attachment icon in inbox list, but when I click attachment it opens message..is it because of Gmail?
I copy and pasted a photo into a new Gmail message, and sent it back to me and it displayed on my phone just fine.
Same when I sent an e-mail from Gmail to my Hotmail account. Displayed on the phone just fine.
just tried myself, You are correct it does work, the image in question was sent from someone with an Iphone..maybe it attaches images different way?

Well I just sent a photo with my iPod Touch to my Gmail account, checked it on my phone, and it appears as an attachment right under the "To: My Name" here. I just tap it, it downloads, and I can view it.
Thanks anyway.
iPhone pictures not getting downloaded
You are right. I was thinking about the same thing.
I was sent a few emails with pictures of their kid from an iPhone. I did get the email and it does show that there are 2 attachments. But when I tap on the attachments, the link just disappears and the email content is blank. Where as the same email, when I check in my Gmail account, I see the pictures in the body of the mail.
I tested the attachments issue by sending myself a jpeg file, and it downloaded just fine. So, I am not getting the pictures sent via iPhone (to my gmail account).
Can anyone check this?
when pics are to small it happens.. my friend sent me small resolution pics and i couldn't see them email shows the attachments but when click nothing happens.. i tried big pics and works perfectly
Been reports the gmail app has attachment download issues. I tested it again and no go on the download this time. Forwarded the same email to my exhange and it worked fine. Wait for gmail update.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
same here pics sent from iphone no luck
I was trying to send an email last night with an attached screen capture that I did on the NC but for some reason it doesn't work. When I add the attachment, it shows up in the gmail interface on the NC, and it sends, but when it arrives in the inbox, no attachment.
Anyone else have this issue. I tried to search but not results.
Just tested and it works fine on my NC (1.0.1 autonooter 12.18)
I have the same issue

It appears the issue is only with astro. Doing it from the gallery worked just fine
You can attach any file to an outgoing gmail message from Root Explorer. There's a market app called attach email too.
work around
I'm having the same issue attaching a screenshot. If I go through the Gmail app and attach the screenshot, the email is received, but no attachment. If I go through ES File Explore, navigate to the screenshot, long hold, choose share, gmail, it opens up Gmail app with attachment showing, but I get the same results. The email is sent, but no attachment.
This is what I noticed though:
Original screenshot is located here: /media/Screenshots/
If I copy/move it to: /sdcard/media/Screenshots/, I can attach/send/receive the screenshot in both ways that I mentioned above.
It's like the Gmail app can't get into the internal memory or something.
FYI - I created the folder Screenshots on /sdcard/media/
Any idea how to save email attachments in POP email, specifically JPG and PDF?
The HTC Help page says the following:
"Save an attachment
Select email with attachment, download the attachment, tap the Preview icon, press the Menu key, Select Save or Save as."
However, I do not see a 'Save' or 'Save As' option when I follow these instructions.
Any thoughts? TIA!
I don't have the Vivid, but if it works like other HTC phones when you click on the attachment it's probably getting saved to a /download folder either in internal memory or on an SD card.
When you download a PDF email attachment, it is automatically saved in the Adobe Reader on your SD Card under Downloads.
For jPeg, when you download a jpeg from an email, it is automatically saved in the Gallery in the All downloads folder.
The intructions you refer to are for other file types.
Sorry to hijack the thread here but it is the same subject that I want to know. When my wife sends me a video of my 2 year old from her iPhone it comes as .MOV file. The Gmail app which is what I use for both of my email accounts does not give me the option to download or preview the file. Is this normal and if so is there a way around it?
