Android email wont download attachments

Did you notice how impossible it is to get through to the actual Microsoft team behind outlook. I've spent an hour clicking through every possible "Contact Us" link on their site -- and was taken through myriads of FAQs, knowledge bases, guides, and at last -- this community forum. But there is zero possibility to actually report a real problem to a real support team.

The built-in Android mail client used to be able to download attachments in the past, from outlook. I still have the older emails sitting with properly downloaded, preview-able attachments in my inbox. Whatever changed must have changed on the service side and we can't even report it! Hey did anyone notice?? As of last week, the service is working fine again! I am able to download attachments now using Android's built-in mail app!

Your cache or Temporary Internet Files folder stores the records of every site that you have visited and every file you have downloaded.

Thanks to the cache, your browser can easily access these records and load websites easier. Each browser follows a somewhat different path to clear the cache. This is a very rare occurrence, but sometimes an attachment may be bigger than your storage capacity. You should check if the designated download partition has enough space for your attachment. If not, you should remove some files to free up space for it.

Alternatively, if you have multiple partitions, you can change the default download location to another one. In Chrome, for example, you should follow these steps:. Sometimes the browser will inform you that a file allows unverified scripts, or that it has an encrypted attachment.

Instead, report it as spam or phishing, and remove it. On the other hand, if it is from a trusted source, you can ignore the warnings. In that case, follow one of the above methods and download the attachment anyway. Your browser preventing you from downloading attachments can be frustrating. However, sometimes there is a reason for concern. Make sure to check the email sender and content carefully before bypassing the security and downloading it anyway.

Although it can sometimes be a glitch, the tools on your device are only trying to keep you safe. Your email address will not be published.
