Cannot open JPG attachments sent from iphone 3!

jusetan · #1 (**permalink**) 02-10-2011, 10:54 AM

I cannot open any JPG images sent from an iphone.
Using outlook synced with my Gmail.
It shows the paperclip like there is an attachment, but when i open the email, the file is not shown at the top of the email for download.

I tested forwarding myself the same jpg from gmail and it shows up in my mobile outlook - i can download the image.

Must be some way that the iphone is encoding the file. (if I search my gmail on my PC, the email sent from the iphone does not show up as having an attachment clip icon). Very strange.

It sounds like the problem is on the iphone end. Tell them to check their settings or use a different service or better yet use a different device.

Don't think so.
Never had this problem when I was setup with a Gmail account (non outlook) in windows mobile.

Problem occurred when I setup my Gmail account with Outlook's push mail settings on my windows mobile. I'm running spb mobile with Paven Maverick's ROM.

There are various different MMS clients for Sprint. The one im using right now does not work in GSM Vodafone Germany... i havent tried any other clients but if anyone has one that works, let me know

When you intially get the email can you open it in a web browser at gmail.com?
