I had a bunch of mail to be sent out that was not. I realized that my mail settings in Coldfusion Administrator were incorrect and have since corrected them. I tested the new settings with new mail and they work. I am now trying to re-send out the messages in the spool, but they go right back in the undelivered mail spool. I'm assuming that they are still using the old mail settings. Is there any way to force them to send out using the new current settings?
You'll need to edit the individual spool files, as they most likely have the mail server information in the file itself. If you open a few of the files in your badmail directory, you should be able to locate the server information and adjust accordingly.
If you can do a bulk find/replace on the files, it should make short work of it.

I'm stuck in a great problem. My task is to download some emails from a server using the IMAP protocol. This is accomplished by using the "get mails (POP3 / IMAP)" job entry, which downloads the emails, but in binary format.
Files in binary format are .mail files containing sender, subject, body, and encoded attachment files. I need to obtain separate files, because I must realize some steps with these files as input.
I've seen that there are third-party libraries or utilities to decode the .mail file and get the attachment file list. However, I want to do this process without any additional utility (because this should require a shell step, depending on the SO).
Is there any way or trick to get the attachments using only Pentaho job entries or transformation steps?
I'm using the version 5.1 of Pentaho Kettle.
I will explain the whole process so that anybody can get the advantage of it.
1) Add START and Get mails (POP3/IMAP) job entries, and create a hop between them.
2) Edit the Get mails entry to use your IMAP server (host name, port number, username, password, etc), and click Test Connection to verify settings.
3) In the Target folder, uncheck Save message content and check Get mail attachment and Different folder for attachment. Define a target folder for both the Target directory and Attachment files folder.
4) On the Settings tab, select the IMAP folder that you want to download from. Change other settings as desired.
5) Click OK, Save the Job, and Run the job.
I can't find the solution for my problem. So, in my send-mailmessage html body is field that should be redirected to file which is included as attachment in message. How can I create hyperlink to that file in mail, when client opens it?
I don't know if you get my idea. In other words, in message I have attached file, and then there is field which should be a hyperlink to attached file. When client receives message he/she should press the link and then attached file opens.
I searched almost everything in everwhere but can't find a appropriate solution how to solve this.
This isn't really a PowerShell question, since this issue has nothing to do with the functionality of the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.
In any case, the reason you can't find a solution anywhere is that what you're trying to do is impossible. There is no way that a hyperlink in an e-mail message can point to a file attached to that message. Different mail clients on different operating systems store attachments in different locations. Even if you want to assume that all your recipients are running Outlook on Windows, there are different versions of both. Even if you know for a fact that all recipients are running a specific version of Outlook on a specific version of Windows, you're still out of luck. Outlook stores attachments in a subfolder in the Temporary Internet Files in the user's profile that has a randomly generated name. There's no way to inject code into a hyperlink in an email message, so without knowing the exact local file location, you can't link to it.
I suppose if you're really determined you could have the hyperlink point to a web page that runs some complex javascript code that tries to figure out where the attachment is stored, but that's a major undertaking, and would break if the recipient's default browser has javascript disabled.
Which begs the question, why exactly are you trying to do this? So that recipients can click once instead of having to double-click to open the attachment?
I have found that you can make a hyperlink point to a file share that you know the recipients have access to.
To do so:
Simply make each hyperlink point to the specific file and there you have it.
They have to have permissions to access that file share, or there is a much better way now that I haven't thought of.
Oh well, this works for me, for now.
Does anybody know if it's possible to attach a big file to an e-mail and open it without opening a browser window? I mean, if I attach a small file, the file goes with the e-mail and I can open it without nothing more than the e-mail application. But when it's a big file (let's say 200Mb) normally I upload the file to an FTP, Dropbox, or other internet services. My client receives an e-mail with a link, and when he opens it, it starts a browser and he needs to click a link there to finally download the file. I would want to do that automatically, so my client only needs to click the link (or maybe drag'n drop) and it automatically downloads the attachment with no browser windows.
Do you think it's possible somehow? No problem if I need any programming language. Thanks in advance
It's not possible.
It would imply the use of Javascript that's not allowed in mail clients.
I ran gmail backup, which marked all my gmail messages as read. Ugh. I actually use that read/unread information. I had just installed Thunderbird, and it shows hundreds of messages in "All Mail" that are unread. Only it had only downloaded the headers, not the messages. So something in Thunderbird knows they are unread, but I'm not sure exactly what.
I read that there are two files for any mail folder, an mbox-format file and a .msf file. The mbox format file for "All Mail" does not have all the messages. However, the .msf file is pretty big, and I wonder if it has all the read/unread info.
If it does, I would consider extracting it, and going back and reapplying it programmatically (say, using gmail4j).
The msf file is using Mork format so reading it is pretty complicated. Fortunately, you don't have to: the mails in the mbox file have a special X-Mozilla-Status header. It's a hexadecimal value combining a number of flags. The lowest bit in this header (0x0001) is only set for messages that are read - if it isn't there then the message is unread.
If you want to read only Header and the Summary part of your Emails, then you can read it from your .msf file of your Mozilla Thunderbird, Since The .msf file is just a index file of Mozilla Thunderbird. So you cannot read all the information of your Emails from it. To read your Emails, you first need to find the location of your INBOX File which doesn't have an extension.
you can find its location from here in your Thunderbird Email client:
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\wb09b73f.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail.com
Then, copy it and paste it to other location of your system and rename it to INBOX.mbox and then you can easily import it from your Mozilla Thunderbird and can Easily read your Emails after importing it on your Thunderbird.
This is in Notes 8.5 environment.
I just wanted to know how to attach an email to another email as real attachment not a "Document Link".
I intended to attach an email, so I drag & dropped an email to another email's body but this turned out to be a "Document Link". This is an issue when I deleted the original attachment(an email in this case) and want to open the attachment again.
Tried to drag & drop the email to desktop and attach that through the "Choose file" dialog, didn't work either.
So how can I do that? I'm trying to get the attachment programmatically.
The only way I know is this:
Reassure that preferences | Basic Notes Client configuration | Drag and drop saves as eml file is checked
1) Drag your email to e.g. your desktop or to an explorer instance (will be saved as an eml file).
2) Attach this file to your opened email by either selecting it with the paperclip menu item or drag 'n drop the file into the opened email.
Open msg
Save to desktop
Open new mail
Attached *.eml file on desktop
Sad to say, this is the only way I know which sux because in Outlook, you just need to copy and paste.
Answer from Chris is not possible
because there is no save mail option
(at least in version 8.5) in LN
It is possible, File > Save As
answer from Alexey creates MS Outlook eml files, so if you don't have Outlook e-mail client doesn't help.
Answer from Chris is not possible because there is no save mail option (at least in version 8.5) in LN.
So one of the possible solutions would be to hold control, select all mails you want to attach, right click on the selected mails, from the menu select Forward and it will open the new message with all selected mails in the body of the new message.
You can slecet sent item /email and drag to desktop , it will automatic created new file on desktop. Then you can attach and send it in to new emails.
I have recently encountered the same issue and hopefully what follows will be helpful.
In Windows, the default program for opening .eml files is set to Outlook. Every user of Lotus notes should take the steps to have .eml files defaulted to open via Lotus notes.
Start menu--- Defaults programs---Lotus notes-- and check .eml--- then save.
After performing this, Lotus notes will be the default to open these attachments.
I have been trying to do this for a while also.
Here is what I do now.
Highlight the email you want to create as a file.
Click on Create. Hover over Special, then click on Link message.
This will open up a new tab for the link.
At the bottom of the message is a small yellow piece of paper icon.
Copy this icon and paste into your message like you would any other file.
It is tiny, so I put a statement like "see email attachment ---->" in front of the icon.
You might like this way. Not sure though.
Tested vith Notes versions 6.5.x and 7.0.x
From your Lotus Notes inbox
Open the message
Click View > Show > Page Source
Copy all the data into a text file and save the file with .eml extension.
Create a new message
Attach the .eml file(s) and send the new message
Hop this helps. I have no client on my current machine but will test from home on 8.5.1
Copy the mail as a document link (right click on the mail and you should get this option) and paste it in the new mail. This worked for me
Talking about IBM Notes v. 9 is pretty easy.
To choose the e-mail to be attached and drag until the new e-mail.
Click on email which you want to forward
Edit - > Copy As -> Document Link
create new mail and paste.
it will work
If you are using Lotus Notes V9.X, it is better to drag the mail to desktop as .eml and then attach it to the mail. Safest way so far.
Although probably not exactly what your looking for and you probably don't care at this point since the question was asked 5 years ago, one method is to use "forward".
Go to your inbox or wherever your messages are and select the 2+ messages you want to send than simply click forward... all messages get combined into 1.
I might be very late but encoutered this problem sometime before and saw this link.
Thanks . Please check this shall work.
Goto Create menu -> Section--> Copy email to be inserted
