Hello I recently posted this but made a mistake in my question. I get all pictures sent to my android cell phone from someone else cell phone but Not the Ones I Send to myself from my cell phone It removes them, why? Is there a setting i am missing? Thanks, I am using Tracfone with verizon!!
 
Just an FYI it's better if you continue in your original thread. This way we don't get redundant with the information. Why are you sending the photos to yourself from your phone when it is already on your phone.
 
Sorry I did not explain it correctly,
I am sending the Pictures from my computer to my cell phone but the text comes thru but the picture (attachment) is removed some how!!!
If I send them from my pc to someone else's cell phone they get it ok.
 
From my pc to my cell phone. I send others text and attachments that way too instead of starting up my cell phone all the time when home!!!
 
For those who don't know how to send a text message from your pc to a cell phone, you have to look it up on google.

its not yahoo mail censoring anything because it only happens when I send it from my pc to my cell phone not to anyone else's. it very well may be that either tracfone or verizon is not letting it thru. maybe a safety feature so you won't infect there phone with a virus?

FWIW I'm often sending email picture attachments to and from my laptop and phone. I'm using Outlook, either with WiFi or 5G, and they always come through pretty much instantly.
 
Ok, Thanks Guys, but the problem is my neighbor took pictures of my walk way that is being up lifted by the neighbor on the other side of me and I need to get them onto my cell phone from yahoo mail so I can go to the neighbor and show him what his trees are doing to our shared walkway. the owner who share the walk way next door rents and does not live there.
 
So send the pictures in an email from your yahoo email to your Gmail, which is already on your phone.

Thats just it, they are not on my phone they are only in my yahoo and gmail. I been trying to send them to my cell but they (attachments) keep getting remove from the sent message from emails
 
Wait.
You have Yahoo and you have Gmail, both on your computer, right?
So why can't you just open your Gmail app on your phone and view your photos?
Same with Yahoo.
Install the Yahoo app or open your browser, login to your account and tada! There they are.
There's nothing on your pc that you cannot access on phones

I did but the picture are not in there!!!
 
You're not explaining everything, you give us bits of information.
Where exactly do these reside?
In your computer?
In a folder?
In an email?
What type of file are they?
A jpg?
A tif?
A pdf?
You say "attachment" but what type of file?
 
Ok, The Pictures are on my pc in "My Pictures" as jpg.

I sent the picture to my neighbor from yahoo email to his cell phone and he got the picture and the text it was not removed as when it was when I sent it to myself.
My friend in another states has tracfone with verizon to and he don't get my picture either. Maybe there is a setting to send it to yourself or maybe picture are not allowed when sending to yourself or to another tracfone/verizon phone!!!

so this is being sent from your computer to your friends via yahoo email. and they in turn open the email on their phone. however, the friend who has a tracfone phone does not get the attachments (jpg files). so on the tracphone phone, the friend opens up their email client only to see no attachments.

did i get this correct? if so then this has nothing to do with your phone's carrier. it has something to do with the email client you used, Yahoo. or the quality of the picture. higher resolution pictures can be quite large and it might be to big to send. what if the tracfone friend opens the email on a computer rather than a phone?
 
yes its only when i send them to myself the text is there but it states attachment removed?

I will look into the higher resolution idea!

but why would the same picture go to everyone else except those with tracfone/verizon its the same resolution?
