Email Application - cannot download attachments - a feature?! [answered]

hi there,

so there is this Email Application on my pretty jolla mobile phone. I can successfully receive and send emails (WOW! this is a great so far), however when i try to download a nice attachment (e.g. a jpg file) someone sent to me, this is not possible. I tap on the attachment and the progress bar begins to progress (so far so good) and at about 3/4 it stops and stays and does not move and does not move and after a while it tells me, "Failed". It happens every time in every wlan network with every type of file i get. This is indeed unlike. Is it possible to deactivate this feature, so i can download the precious attachments people send me? At the moment this causes me to use the laptop to check my mail. Maybe i do something wrong? Settings?

I was redirected to here from devel [at] lists.sailfishos.org and there was a possible solution suggested:

"Is that a pop account ? If so and created before update2 please remove it and add it again."

which I will try out... ...and another one:

"Interesting. it forze at about 3/4 when useing 3g but finished correctly via wifi. This was from gmail, however that account is setup via defaults from jolla."

help! br kung-foo-panda ;)

You need to have the E-mail settings spot on. My Jolla receives the attachments automatically. Do you have the latest Sailfish-version? (Ohijärvi)

Hi again,

my jolla phone has the E-Mail setting spot on when i go to Settings->Accounts->Google, everything else (instant msg, sharing, sync) is off. I also deleted and added google account but it did not help.

@kung-foo-panda - So your account is a google account, so it's IMAP. Does this happen to all attachments that you receive ? Is this happening over wifi or 3G or both ?

Hi VDVsx,

I am also having problems with attachments. I have googld and if I try to open for example jpg image nothing happens. At first i tap the file and it ddownloads then nothing. If I tap picture it will change color but nothing else. I am hoping to open image. This is happening with wifi and 3g.

No the same, this is for a google account.
