Good evening everyone!


If I've already asked this on this list I do appologise, I've sent this query to that many Email groups it's very hard to keep track.


My friend in Australia Chris Graham is trying to get in touch with his Uncle who has throat canser.

He only has a Mac though so he needs me to retrieve the number for him using a really old Windows programme called Phone Deck.


Now this programme doesn't exist any more, so it's not possible to download it myself.


But here's the strange problem which is really stumping both of us.

Every single time he tries to send it using his Gmail account, no matter what extension he uses, be it .txt or .zip, yes he's even tried zipping it. At least I think you can create zip files on the Mac.

Gmail will not let him send the file at all, thinking it's Malware.


But here's the other really really strange problem.

The last time he had Dropbox on his Mac, he ended up with a really stupid web interface and Dropbox wouldn't even show up in the menu extras part on the Mac nor in his Applications folder.


Not only that though, Chris Graham has even tried sending himself an Email with the Dropbox link. Even this will not go through!


But yet here's the strange part, he's managed to send the file which I need to import into Phone deck through Dropbox absolutely fine!


Please before we go down the final avenue of Bootcamping his 2015 Mac and doing it that way, can anyone on here come up with any more ideas?


This is really important as his Uncle is the last in his family.


Thanks very much everyone!

Look forward to any responses!
