Can't read emails on my server

I can see the emails in my inbox, but the content is completely blank on all of them after I installed a new gmail acct in my Mail acct.
HELP!

In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution. The steps do apply. A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

Can't read email using my primary apple email account

Ok, I'm new to this forum but here is my problem
Usually I can read Email using my primary Apple E-mail account BEFORE I updated my Ipad into IOS 8.
After I updated my Ipad into IOS 8 (non-jailbreak and from IOS 5 jailbreak), My Ipad says that I need to sign up an Icloud email to use the Mail App.
Then I can't use my Primary Apple Account as an E-mail anymore. When people send a mail to my primary apple account, I cant read it because I cant read emails using my Primary Apple Account anymore.
When I signed in with my primary apple Email account and opened my Mail App, It used my Icloud email instead my primary apple email.
I tried everything Include making an email aliases but my primary apple email uses @Yahoo.com and I can only use aliases of @Icloud.com
Can someone please help me so I can read E-mails when people send an Email to my primary apple account? Because I need to see those subcription mails and change my password of my online game account(<- This one is URGENT).
And sorry for my bad English because I'm Indonesian.

Welcome to discussions,
go to settings/mail, contacts.../your mail account/outgoing mail server settings/ and see if you put in the needed password to access your mail server.

Can't send email through SMTP server

As some others have reported, I recently started having problems sending emails (most of the time) through my regular smtp server (receiving is not an issue). Once in a while it does go out, but most of the time I get a message "Can't send message using the server smtp.XXXX.com". I know it's not the smtp server as I can go out with my browser and use webmail and it sends fine, using the same server.
It only affects this one main email account - my other accounts seem fine (including gmail, mac, and another pop accounts), at least so far.
It is extremely frustrating - saw a whole lot of ideas for fixing it (changing ports, etc.), but don't want to mess up all the accounts that are working. I'm a long time Mac user, but not a real techie.

I know it's not the smtp server as I can go out with my browser
and use webmail and it sends fine, using the same server.
This is wrong. Whether you can send via webmail has nothing to do with whether you can send using a standard mail client such as Mail. The outgoing server that ends up delivering the message may be the same in both cases, but the outgoing server you communicate with is not. Actually, when sending via webmail you don’t even use SMTP to communicate with the outgoing server.
There are circumstances under which you may not be able to send using a standard mail client such as Mail no matter what you do (e.g. because the ports needed for SMTP are blocked by the ISP at the location you’re trying to send from), whereas webmail works fine — and may be your only option in those cases.
If it works sometimes, that means your account settings are probably correct, but you cannot discard that there is a problem with the outgoing (SMTP) server that Mail has to communicate with, even if sending via webmail works fine.
<hr>
That said, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible (i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc.), or shutting down both the computer and the router/modem used to connect to Internet, restarting, and see whether that makes a difference.
Mail keeps information about outgoing (SMTP) servers in a separate list independently of the mail accounts themselves. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there — the Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
If the problem persists and you have more than one mail account, try moving the account that has the problem to the top of the list in Preferences > Accounts.

What does it mean when you can't send emails due to server not allowing relaying

Can't send emails re server not allowing relaying - why?

It means that you did not set up the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for your email account correctly. Most likely you did not enter your email address and password because it said "optional". It isn't optional.

How can I read email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as uread on my computer at home. It automatically goes to read mail on my computer. On my computer if I want to keep an email to answer later I can mark it "Keep as New".

How can I read my email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as "unread" on my computer at home? At home I can read an email and if I want to get back to it at a later date I can mark it as "keep as new". I tend to forget it if it goes to "read" mail. Right now, when I read an email from my phone it goes automatically to "read" mail.

On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

Can't send email from internal server, same domain name as external.

We have a domain "example.com", hosted externally, for email and a website. We are thinking of hosting email 'inhouse' and have setup a dedicated subdomain on a 'fixed' IP, "mini.example.com" for AFP services mainly. mini.example.com provides DNS internally, its primary zone is also example.com. All access to the external web goes thru' a modem/router that the server is connected to. We have to set an A record for www access to our website.
In our testing to migrate email, the internal setup works fine, until the switch over. Now we can receive mail to the mini server, but can't send any out.
We instructed our webhost provider to set the CNAME mail.example.com to point to mini.example.com and created a cPanel MX extry mail.example.com, 10 priority. Previously, the external host had CNAME as mail.example.com to example.com and MX as example.com, 10 priority.
Since the implementation of the CNAME change, we can't send emails out and they get stuck at the outbox waiting. Client Mail app, says to check for port and SSL and account settings.
Any idea where we went wrong here and what we can do to get emails out? We could go to each computer and point-off the DNS to office IP, but we rather not.
Thanks!

Thank you Camelot and MrHoffman for your replies.
I got in this am to find Mail.app could actually send out emails and I'm stratching my head wondering what happened yesterday.
SMTP server addresss was manually set to mail.example.com for all accounts. In trying to get things to work, the mail setup was redone again by "Accounts", in Systems Preferences, when Login is clicked on, and mail was automatically given a SMTP as mini.example.com instead of mail.example.com. I'm guessing that that could be where the initial 'inside' problems were, given that it had a 0 answer to the MX query. Or then again I wasn't patient enough.
Just for completeness, and if there's something to learn from here, these are the dig results for example.com as seen from within the office network.

Reading emails from Faxcom server with javamail 1.4.2

Our JavaMail-based application reads up to 60,000 emails a day. We recently upgraded to JavaMail 1.4.2 to get more leniency reading poorly formatted messages. So far, it's looking great. We only experienced one issue. Upon upgrading, we stopped being able to receive multiparts sent via Faxcom product. To resolve this, we set the property:
mail.mime.multipart.ignoreexistingboundaryparameterto "false". If it is set to true, it will not be able to read emails from the Faxcom product that were previously successful using JavaMail 1.4.1. Basically, the API returns zero for the multipart count. If you are setting some of the new leniency parameters, I would recommend keeping this "false" unless it solves some specific problem.
Just wanted to post this to see if anyone had experienced the same problem, and to share the solution.

Thanks Bill, I will try setup a simple program to reproduce, or see if I can reproduce with one of the JavaMail sample programs - I also have a FaxCom mailbox setup for testing.
We are also still having trouble consuming a few messages that have a broken Content Type field:
08:37:05.996 INFO: (EmailServer.processMultipart-Thread-21) Inside Content Type: text/plain
name="incoming.txt"
javax.mail.internet.ParseException: Expected ';', got "NAME"
at javax.mail.internet.ParameterList.<init>(ParameterList.java:280)
at javax.mail.internet.ContentType.<init>(ContentType.java:110)
...etc..
I will also look and find out which mail client that came from. Maybe the solution here is trying to ask the sender to fix/upgrade/switch mail clients.
But other than these 2 occasional problems, 1.4.2 is working great in production and we are getting a lot fewer failures.

How can I read emails that have been moved onto my local hard disk?

Hallo Everyone,
I had some emails in my local folders. I moved my local folders to a new drive. There are now none of my local folders in TB. I used TB and found the messages through the profile, but I cannot read them, they are not displayed as messages they seem like txt files. How can I read those messages as I need to print out some of the information.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Russ Kent

What was the reason to start messing with this in the first place? It's not recommended, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
I'd just revert the change, and you should be good to go again.

Recipients can't read email attachments

Scenario: Office full of Macs. All supposedly configured exactly the same (same OS, same version of Word, etc.) When one staff member creates then sends documents (so far Word and pdf docs), others can't read the attachments. The attachments, when opened in Word, look like gibberish.
The employee in question is using Mac Mail as the mail client. The others are using Thunderbird.
But here's the thing. When we take a file from the affected computer, put it on someone else's computer, then email it, the file comes over ok.
Also, we were able to test sending the same file from another Mac using Mac Mail and the file was okay.
I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not.
Any ideas on where I should look to fix this problem?
Thanks.

So, the problem is in the Mac Mail set-up.
Have the user try changing some of the parameters.
Though Ernie has show himself to be smarter than I, I think that it has nothing to do with Exchange or anything besides how the Mac user using Mail.app has it configured, and -- so -- how the email is constructed and sent from that machine.
You said, "I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not."
Okay. So set the option, restart Mail, and try it.
I have it set. I send Office docs, PDFs, everything, to people using every email client you can think of. I cannot think of one time I had a problem like this.

I can't get emails off the server

Ok, I know this has been discussed here before. But, just wondering if there is any NEW info on how to delete emails from the server. Yes, I have gone to advanced email settings and have selected the delete from server when removed from inbox option. But, still those emails are there so that when I check email on my laptop the same emails which I already read on my iPad pop up again. And, I have to delete them again from my laptop in order to remove them from the server. This is very annoying, especially since there is the option to remove emails from the server on the ipad settings, but apparently this option does NOT work.

After you read them on the ipad, are you deleting them?

Mail can't receive email from Gmail server even it knew

I have an account in Gmail and I set up a POP account in Mail, and it works! But that's was last week time, now I can't receive any new mail but I still know I have. Why? Mail always alerts me that "You've new mail". When I check the "Get Info" of Inbox, it showed me that I have about 20 emails that are not download yet. I keep on clicking "get new mail" & wait, but no mail is show up! Things I tried:
- restart my Mac.
- reset up my account by checking "receive all mail" in Gmail settings.
- del my recent account & create again.
- send an email to myself.
But it doesn't work.

Sometimes Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server.
You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.
