Attatchments wontopen in apple mail but do ingmail

That's frustrating!

There could be several reasons why attachments won't open in Apple Mail but do open in Gmail. Here are some potential solutions to try:

  1. Check the attachment type: Ensure that the attachment type is supported by Apple Mail. Some file types, like.zip or.rar archives, might not be supported by default. Try saving the attachment to your computer and then opening it from there.
  2. Check the attachment size: Large attachments might not open in Apple Mail due to size limitations. Try reducing the attachment size or splitting it into smaller files.
  3. Check the email client settings: Go to Apple Mail's preferences (Mail > Preferences) and ensure that the "Open attachments" option is enabled. You can also try resetting Apple Mail's settings by going to Mail > Preferences > General > Reset.
  4. Check the attachment encoding: Some attachments might be encoded in a way that Apple Mail can't handle. Try saving the attachment to your computer and then opening it from there. You can also try using a third-party email client like Airmail or Spark to see if they can open the attachment.
  5. Check for malware or viruses: Malware or viruses can cause issues with attachments. Run a virus scan on your computer and ensure that your email client is up-to-date.
  6. Check the sender's email client: The sender's email client might be using a different format or encoding for the attachment. Try contacting the sender and asking them to resend the attachment in a different format.
  7. Try a different email account: If you have multiple email accounts set up in Apple Mail, try sending the attachment from a different account to see if the issue persists.
  8. Check for Apple Mail updates: Ensure that Apple Mail is up-to-date by going to the App Store and checking for updates.
  9. Try using a different browser: If you're accessing your email account through a web browser, try using a different browser to see if the issue persists.
  10. Contact your email provider: If none of the above solutions work, contact your email provider's support team to see if they can help resolve the issue.
