Cannot read email message body in Mail

Hello Pholks,
I'm running iBook G4 w/ OS 10.4.8. Upon starting my computer and Mail this morning, I have the following very strange problem - similar to one other who has posted today:
I can see messages in my Inbox. I can see sender, subject, date sent, etc...
However, when I highlight the message, the only thing that appears in the message windo is the header info (From: Subject: Date: To:) The body of the message is not visible. This is true for some of the messages in my Inbox, but not all. Some are old, some are new today.
Further: I also see this behavior in my archived messages. Picking a random mailbox on my hard drive, some message bodies are visible, others not. It appears to be random; I can't find any common link between the messages that aren't visible.
Further: If I use Entourage, I don't have this problem; that is, the message bodies that aren't visible in Mail are visible in Entourage.
Further: If I go onto my hard drive to the Inbox folder and select a .mbox folder and look at the messages, some have visible bodies, some not.
This appears to be a problem specific to Mail. Please help - many of my archived emails are no longer accessible to me.
Further: I've done two things that may have played a role. (1) I downloaded and installed software updates for iChat and the new Security update last night; (2) I've just added an external HD for backup. I tried to run a simple backup script last night, which resulted in the iBook HD chugging for quite some time, but never did put the data on the external HD. I've run "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility, but to no avail.
HELP.....

Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a font problem. About 30 of the fonts in my account directory /users/me/library/fonts folder were corrupted. They were somehow being viewed as unix executable files instead of font suitcases. !??! No idea what happened there.
I used Pacifist to reload fonts from my OSX installation disc, but this didn't seem to help. Instead, I found other copies of most of the corrupted fonts in the microsoft office/office/fonts folder, and replaced the corrupted fonts in my home library w/ those.
I was alerted to the fact the the problem was fonts when I tried to open an Excel file; it came back with messages that these various fonts were corrupted and needed to be removed. Strangely, though the corrupted fonts were in my home directory font folder and not the MS Office font folder, Excel was tripping up - i.e., it wasn't using the fonts from the Office folder. Hmm.
Finally, there are still a few fonts that are corrupted, and whose source is a mystery to me. They didn't come from the OS installation disc and they don't come from Office; consequently, I can't fix them. They are: Geneva CE, Geneva CY, GrCourier and N Helvitica Narrow.
Does anyone know where these fonts come from?

TS4002 iCloud emails message body showing blank in Mac mail.

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

Close out of the mail app. Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that. then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

How to read the message body in a mail

how can we read the message body of a mail. i am using pop3 server for reading the mails. my program is
public class GetMessageExample {
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
String host = args[0];
String username = args[1];
String password = args[2];
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(host, username, password);
Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
for (int i=0, n=message.length; i<n; i++) {
System.out.println(i + ": " + message.getFrom()[0]
+ "\t" + message[i].getSubject());
System.out.println(
"Do you want to read message? [YES to read/QUIT to end]");
String line = reader.readLine();
if ("YES".equals(line)) {
message[i].writeTo(System.out);
} else if ("QUIT".equals(line)) {
break;
folder.close(false);
store.close();
i am getting the following exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: contentStream
at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Message.getContentStream(POP3Message.java:115)
at javax.mail.internet.MimePartDataSource.getInputStream(MimePartDataSou
rce.java:61)

java:755)
at javax.activation.DataHandler.getContent(DataHandler.java:511)

The Part interface that the Message class implements describes 3 ways for getting the content of a message. To use an Input Stream, you can call the getInputStream() method on the message itself, rather than System.in.
Hope this helps!

When my iPhone 5s is paired with my 2014 Lexus Rx350 I am able to view text messages but cannot view email messages in the car display screen. My previous Blackberry Torch would read both text and email messages. Does anybody know how to fix?

When I pair my new iPhone 5S in my 2014 Lexus it displays and allows me to read the SMS messages off my phone on the car display but it does not display or allow me to read email messages. When pairing my previous Blackberry Torch the car displayed and allowed me to read both. Lexus have told me it is an Apple problem and not a Lexus problem which may be true as the BB phone worked great. Does anybody know if Apple is planning an iPhone update for this?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Hi Sahil,
I was able to make your request work fine against my Office 365 mailbox with 2 changes.
1. Can you please make sure you are adding header "Content-Type: Application/Json"?
2. Can you please make sure your end time is AFTER start time? Looks like there is a typo with your current request as the start time is on 2015-01-06 and end time is on 2015-01-05.
Hope that helps ...
Thanks,
Venkat

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API
From what I understand we can set Flag on Email Message. How can we set Importance Leve: High/Low for an email message?
Thanks
Purvi

Most of the message Flags work only for IMAP mailboxes. POP3 supports only the DELETED flag. It must be understood that Javamail is a framework which provides all the features available in a standard mailing system. But whether or not a particular feature works is a functionality of the particular implementation being used.
Thus for example POP3 cannot differentiate read from unread messages in a mailbox though Javamail provides that feature.

Why have I lost read email messages on my iphone?

I've only had my iphone 4 for a week or so. All of a sudden today I have lost my read email messages. I still have them on computer but lost them on the phone. Also lost my sent messages. I would like to get them back. My spouse also has same phone and the same thing happened on his phone as well.

What is the account type - POP or IMAP?
Sounds like the account is a POP accout is the sent messages are not available.
If so, what is the account setting with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client?
If the email client on your computer is removing messages from the server after being downloaded, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well since the messages are no longer available on the server.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

You can delete and re-download the application. Other than that you need to check with the developer of the application

After ios 7.0.3 cannot read email

Have the 4S - downloaded ios 7.0.3 and now cannot read email or attachements. What is 'mime'? I can SEE the email but when i open it there is no content. HELP I use my phone for work and this is killing me.

My problem resolved itself overnight. I'm guessing it was just overloaded servers from everyone downloading the ios update and Mavericks.
Good lick on your issue but I don't have a solution to that one other than perhaps time for it to sort itself out. Good luck..

Email message body won't display in mail application

I use an iPhone 4S, and when I go to view my emails in the apple mail app, I can see the preview of the message. However, when I tap on a message to open it, my phone does not display the body of the message anymore, only the subject and the sender line. My phone worked fine before and this issue began a few days ago. Any suggestions to resolve this problem? Thank you.

Thanks for your quick answer,
And sorry, I should have said that before:
It started on the external display and actually the very first time I could still see the message content, it went blank only when I clicked on the "see more from..." hyperlink to unravel the message's full content. Then it started happening to the message as a whole and just by selecting a message to view it. Also, it happens on both the external and laptop displays, on the laptop display both when external display is connected or not, after successive restarts and shutdowns.
I hope this gives you a better idea, but do get back to me if you need more inf.
Thanks again,
Ben.
