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.

  • TS4002 iCloud emails message body showing blank in Mac mail.

    The content of emails (message body) is sometimes blank in Mac mail but visible on both my iPhone and iCloud. I can't seem to find a fix?

    Strange that this is such an old thread - seems like the problem has popped up again here.

  • Random messages won't display in Mail

    Hi,
    Using Mail 2.0.8 on a MacBook Pro 2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    Main account is set-up as IMAP. Recently, I began noticing that some messages will not display in Mail, nor will they be marked as read. The message shown in the preview pane is:
    The message from <sender> <sender email> concerning “subject” has not > been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in > order to download it.
    However, the account is online. All other messages received at the same time display properly. There are no characteristics common among or unique to messages that behave like this, at least as far as I can discern. Ultimately, without any specific actions, the messages will display properly.
    If I go to my webmail account and read the message, Mail will update soon after to show that it has been read. So clearly the account is online, as Mail can send and receive commands to set the status. Still, the message will not display.
    Has anyone experienced similar behavior, and have you found a solution?
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    Ernie, David, et al,
    Perhaps I spoke too soon. I continue to have the same problem with Mail and my IMAP accounts, which are advancing beyond annoying. I am now considering moving to another email application, which is something I really don't want to do. Following is a brief update:
    * After moving the Mail folder and plist file to my desktop, restarting Mail and entering my accounts again, it worked properly for a short period of time. The behavior reappeared soon thereafter. (I had mboxes on my Mac, not on the server, and for some reason I cannot import them again).
    * I have a bad habit of using my email as a file system, so my inbox was huge. So I took the time to create a bunch of mboxes, file messages, and otherwise clean my inbox. It's now 1/4 the size it was. I'm also trying to habitualize dealing with email and attachments to either file or delete messsages when the come in (so far, so good).
    * When I get a message that exhibits this behavior, I can now Rebuild the mailbox and the message will show. Rebuild occurs quickly because my mailbox is so much smaller, and I've not lost any messages. The messages that previously would not display at all now display properly. However, I must Rebuild every time I receive a message of this type, which occurs several times per day.
    * It appears that messages with attachments display properly, but those without do not. It also appears to be highly likely that all the messages originate from an Exchange Server (I know this to be true of several clients, and others are very likely). I also know for a fact that many that I receive properly are not using Exchange Server.
    * Calendar invitations from Notes work as intended (show up in Mail as ICS files, notifications appear in iCal which allow me to set my status and reply); however, those from Exchange Server only show as text messages (and don't display until I rebuild).
    It appears to me that the problem may lie, at least in my case, to how Mail handles Exchange Server items in IMAP mode, and not just an IMAP bug, but again, I cannot isolate this and be 100% certain.
    Will keep you posted.

  • 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!

  • Is it possible to exclude .PDF file from Email Message body ?

    NB - the "data" that is returned by these classes is the data as defined in an adobe form - it doesn't return the content of non-form PDF documents.
    The PDF must be an interactive form ( although that doesn't restrict you to using the SAP process for creating the form is my understanding - but I could be wrong. )
    Edit - I was wrong! ONLY PDF documents that have been created by the ADS can have data extracted using these classes. So unless you are using Adobe interactive forms - then you will get no value from this functionality - and if you're using AIF then you're probably just use the standard UI element

  • Messages app won't display any windows

    My Messages app (v 7.0.1) intermittently won't display any windows, not even the Preferences. I've tried reloading the app from Time Machine, but it won't let me replace an the current version.
    I'm running a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz under 10.8.5.
    Any ideas?

    HI,
    The Time Machine version needs to be the same version as is used in OS X 10.8.5
    This will be version 7.0.1 which came with the OS X 10.8.2 update.
    the Process should be to go to Applications and find the Messages app.
    Then use the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
    This will reduce the window and display the galaxy in the background.
    On the right are the arrows and dates for moving "back in time".
    The window should also have become "stacked" with those older versions behind.
    Changing the date should file through the stacked windows until the process finds a change to the Applications Folder.
    If you went back until a change in Messages you probably got the wrong version (or a version that will not work with a later version of the OS).
    Try this:-
    In any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that now appears in the Menu list
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and restart the app.
    This .plist holds the windowing Info for the app.
    I am presuming you have tried the keystrokes seen in the Window Menu of Messages ?
    however it also holds all the info about the Preferences except for the accounts.
    This means any change you have made from the Defaults will be reset.
    The Messages section on Fonts and Colours is the most commonly changed.
    All the Alerts will be reset if you changed them.

  • Mail won't display HTML mails

    I am having the problem that mail does not display HTML mails properly but shows them als plain text. Well, at least kind of. I went through all settings in Mail and Safari and whatever I might think of but no success.
    Not even HTML mails from Apple are displayed correctly.
    Any idea what could wrong?

    I find this kind of funny because I just turned off all HTML in Mail on purpose with a Terminal command.
    Has anyone else been messing with your computer?
    I don't have the Terminal commands to redo HTML here at the office , will have to wait until I get home, but if you trash the preferences for Mail that should fix it.
    Quit Mail then go to user/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.mail.plist
    Then restart Mail and see what happens.
    There is another one with the same name in /Library/Preferences that you can trash as well if that doesn't work but it's most likely your user preference. If no one was messing with your computer probably just a corrupt preference because there is no way to turn HTML off in Mail other than through a Terminal command line that changes your user preference file. You can't have done it by accident.

  • When I delete an email from my hotmail account in the 'mail' application on my MacBook Pro, it is not deleted from the same 'mail' application on my iPhone 4s which my hotmail account has also been added. I thought my emails were synced over iCloud?

    It is so frustrating because I cannot understand what is wrong. When I add an event to my calender on my iPhone it appears in my calender on my MacBook which is perfect and very convenient. The same thing occurs with reminders; everything syncs perfectly here. However when I delete an email from my MacBook from the 'mail' appliaction it doesn't delete from the same built-in application on my iPhone. This is extremely frustrating as I have to delete the same email twice on two different devices. I'd appreciate any feedback that would help resolve this problem!

    Calendars (and contacts) can "sync" between your MBP and your iPhone through iCloud because they really live on the iCloud servers and the two devices are clients. iCloud can accomplish much the same trick for email messages because the email really resides on iCloud email servers.
    If the email resides on some other server, that server is responsible for whatever syncing will be done. IMAP servers like the iCloud servers are built for such syncing; other mail servers may or may not be. iCloud would not be involved with email other than iCloud email.
    I understand Hotmail has been changing how their email servers are accessed. Check with Hotmail support for any changes you may need to make to keep up.

  • 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?

  • Email content won't display in Mail Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I upgraded to Yosemite last week and until yesterday everything seemed to work fine. As of yesterday, my email contents stopped displaying in the content window. The only thing that changed before it started was that I used an external display. My mac is a MBP 13" mid 2012, 2.9 Ghz i7.
    see screen capture attached.
    I appreciate your help,

  • TS2755 how to delete email messages that won't move to trash

    Mail messages won't move to trash. Mail account is used on 4  other devices.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,  select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • POP email - Message Can Not be Displayed

    Hello,
    Emails I receive on my iPhone via my POP3 email account won't load if there is a picture attached. It just displays the message to the effect of "This message can not be downloaded from the server. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I don't know if this applies to your situation, but I've noticed 2 reasons this might occur, one from personal experience and the other from reading the forums.
    For me, I had trouble downloading email with pictures when I was on EDGE because as soon as I got the alert, I went to look at the email. However, if I backed up and waited a couple minutes, it had time to download the everything and I was able to view it fine.
    The other problem I've seen was people complaining about this until they realized they had filled the phone with so many songs and movies, there wasn't enough room left on the phone to download the pictures.
    Yours sounds like it might be the first. Give it a sec to download the whole file before opening it. If that doesn't help I'm all out of answers. Sorry!
    Good Luck,

  • How do you open multiple email messages at the same time on Mail?

    Hi,
    are there any preferences to control how emails are opened from Mail client.
    Currently I can only open one emil at a time and can not toggle between messages or even toggle between the inbox view and a single message.  This is very frustrating especially if you want to toggle across multiple messages.
    Thanks for the help.

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

  • ICloud email messages not showing up in Mac mail

    I just noticed that my Mail client on mac osx lion isn't receiving emails on my @me.com account from the iCloud. 
    The emails are showing up fine on my iphone, but they are not appearing in Mail on my Mac.
    This seems to be a new issue as I didn't notice it yesterday after moving on Wed to iCloud.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem today and have a solution.
    I deleted the iCloud account from Mail, quit Mail, reopened Mail and then set up the account again. (I noticed that it did update the grayed out [uneditable] incoming mail server.) The messages that had been available on iOS 5 appeared in Mail and all is working fine now. It took about a minute to fix and I hope this works for you.
