  1. Mail app won't show pdf attachments


    This is a well-document issue going back several years at least, but I can't find a solution for it. The Mail app doesn't show pdf attachments. They were sent from my phone using Gmail and they show up in the sent folder there, but in the Mail app on my PC there is no sign of them. I already looked through every setting and tried everything in this now-locked thread:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...“Email” under,Change mail box Sync settings”.


    Does anybody know anything?

    :)

    Windows 10 Mail App, Gmail and Pdf Attachments

    Emails sent with Pdf attachments do not appear with the pdf attachment in the Windows 10 mail app. the email shows but the attachment is missing. This happens for every email picked up from gmail with the default gmail account type and also manual configuration
    of a gmail account. Is this a known issue? Is there anywhere to see a list of bugs for the Mail app?

  3. Windows 10 Mail App, Gmail and Pdf Attachments

    Hi birdtims,

    There could be a number of factors as to why you are experiencing Mail app issue. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to incorrect account configuration. Are you using Gmail account on your Mail app? Are you getting any error messages when sending/receiving
    mails that come with .pdf attachments? Have you set up any rules on your account?

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the Windows app troubleshooter from this
    link
    . The
    Windows apptroubleshooter can help scan Windows Store app issue and fix it right away.

    You can also reset the Mail app. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & feature.
    • Click the Mail app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

    Mail app won't show pdf attachments

    How can I open PDF attachment from email?

    I ' m experiencing the same problem as mopinla. The attachment had been fully downloaded but it won ' t open the pdf. I also have the Lumia 920 but it is a bit difficult handling emails without a proper pdf reader. I ' ve opened the same file from my android
    phone without problems. Isn't there another app that might be able to handle the pdf ' s better on wp8?
