[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1625782"] The above is, simply, completely untrue IME. Has it occurred to you that your symptoms aren't shared by the dozens of millions of people who use OS X, and that therefore the issues you're having could be originating from some other cause? Yahoo mail works fine, has done for years (I have a Yahoo account). Likewise GMail (I no longer use it with Mail, but I did until recently -- I do acknowledge that early versions of Yosemite had some issues with GMail, though I never experienced this). As part of my job I attach photos and files to emails pretty much all day, again -- couldn't do my job if this didn't work properly, but it always ALWAYS does. The new Apple feature you're referring to is to help people send files LARGER than most POP-based (ISP) email accounts allow -- it has nothing whatsoever to do with a "broken" system. Mail has FANTASTIC contact management and calendaring. It's called Contacts and Calendar, they are *beautifully* integrated together and in a far superior way than MS has ever managed ... talk about prone to corruption and eating mails, let me introduce you to Office's monolithic database that corrupts itself routinely ...
