Mail shows correct message Subject and Sender (in list) but displays an old message

OK, this is very weird.
I'm accessing Gmail using Mail 7.3 on an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.3.
A couple of days ago I started noticing that random emails -- not every one -- simply won't display in Mail. I can see that I got a new message, and the sender and Subject are correct. But if I click on it to see it in the preview pane, or if I double click on it to open it in a separate window, I get an entirely different message.
What displays is typically a 2 year old message, being pulled from my Google Archives! Very odd!
I have to use a web browser on gmail.com to see the message correctly. It also works fine on my iPhone.
FWIW, my gmail account is at 30% capacity. I archive almost everything immediately, so my inbox is rarely full. My archive box, of course, is huge. I just checked, and it's happening there, too! I don't see it happening in the junk file folder...
I use Mail for 8 other email accounts, including another gmail account. I haven't noticed the issue with any of the other accounts.
Any ideas? Thanks if so!

Thanks for the tip. I never saw Rebuild before in the menu.
So I selected the mailbox and hit Rebuild. It "blinked" and refreshed, took about 5 seconds--I thought it would take longer.
At any rate, no change. It's still happening.
Any other ideas?

Mail rules question on subject and sender fields are empty

I am getting blank messages delivered to my mailbox and the subject and or sender's name are empty, how do I set up a rule to just delete them?

You know, the messages might not actually be blank. I've been steadily getting more and more coming in blank what when I view the source, the messages is there but Mail isn't displaying it. I'm still trying to find some fix for this, but thought you might like to know before you delete them all.

Subject and sender is copied from prevous email on some emails

Hi
On some emails the Subject and Sender name is from another email received at the same time. This is totally random, does not happen all the time. I have included screenshots from two emails of the most recent recevied email with this error.
We have 4 computers and we all have the same IMAP account on every computer but this happens randomly on the computers. One may receive the cloned subject and sender while the others will not. This has happened randomly on all 4 computers. When checking on the web-mail they all appeare correctly.

Sounds like this might be an indexing issue.
right click on folder and select 'Properties'.
click on 'REpair folder'
Click on OK
Refresh the Folder Pane by selecting another folder and then reselecting the repaired folder

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the message. Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.

I rented a movie on my Apple TV through iTunes. It shows that I rented it, but when I go to play it it there was an error, try again later. I have tried later, and later over days but get the same message!

My wife, daughter and I have iPhones. We all have iMessage and Send Read Receipts activated. All the messages sent between the three of us are blue except those that my wife sends to me. They are green. Can anyone explain why.

My wife, daughter and I have iPhones with iMessage and Send Read Receipts activated. All the messages sent between the three of us are blue however, when my wife messages me, the message appears in green on her iPhone. Can anyone explain why.

Because some kind of error occured. This is only from her iPhone to your iPhone? Whenever she sends a message to any other iPhone, it is sent as blue? And when anyone else sends you a message from an iPhone, it sends as blue?

created by bob.treitman in Adobe Acrobat.com Services - View the full discussionIf it says "Anonymous" then the only way that it would have gone out to all of your contacts would be if you sent it to them through your email client. And it would be in your email's Sent folder (not Adobe Send's). If you look at https://cloud.acrobat.com/sentfiles, does it show that the file has been Viewed? If the Views column shows a 0, then nobody has yet viewed it. If you're concerned, you can select the file by clicking the check box, then select Unshare. That will make the file inaccessible to anyone other than yourself. https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-7392942-745487/900-90/SentTab .png If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7392942#7392942 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

I'll add that this can happen when snapshotting is used as a backup method. You can set max endpoints to 32 and still see the issue. Please ensure that you're backing up using the supported PowerShell commands: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202170.aspx
and not just a snapshot of the VM. If raising max endpoints does not resolve the issue, try backing up with the management shell commands within a recurring scheduled task or try http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Backup-script-for-Lync-2013-aacbb9b9
. Then disable the snapshot ting for your front ends, bounce them one at a time, and ensure the data exports you've made are backed up as flat files.

Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there?

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

I am trying to use the brightness adjustment on a grayscale photoshop CS6 file. The preview shows the adjustment working and changes the brightness, but when you click to apply the change, it does not apply the adjustment. I have run into this problem before, although rarely, with some other files over the years and with earlier versions of CS. I would like to know how to overcome this problem?

Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
