Email messages won't load

I've started having a problem view email messages. I open a new message and it displays the subject line and date, but in the message window it says "loading" and the timer spins, but the message never loads. This is true even when there is nothing (no text or graphics) in the message window.
I've tried resetting (hold down the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds) but that didn't do anything.

Ummm, because it only seems logical that one would
want to check for new mail upon opening the app ????
Sure, there may be times when you only want to 'view'
previous emails, but why not at the same time check
for new ones ??
You can't assume that's "logical" for everyone. I don't think this is just a personal preference issue. I believe by not giving users the option to automatically check email OR NOT when the app is opened is a big mistake.
There ARE good and valid reasons why one would want to open the mail app on their iPhone without having it automatically check mail (and I have 4 POP accounts set up in my iPhone), whether that personally doesn't matter to you or not, or whether to you it seems "logical" or not.
I understand that some people may just not care, but for myself and other iPhone owners I've talked to personally (and none of us have our desktop mail apps set to automatically download email when the app is opened, so why should the iPhone be any different?), the lack of having that as an option is a glaring (and frustrating) ommission on Apple's part, and again, I'll be very surprised if it isn't eventually added.
On a related subject, I also believe there should be a "check all accounts now" button on the main mail account page. When I'm on my mail accounts view in iPhone, it would be great to have that button instead of having to go to each account separately or back to the home screen to hit the mail app button again to check all accounts at once. Again, this is how I can set up my desktop mail app (Eudora), and I believe Apple will eventually add this option as well.

Some ,mail messages won't load after migrating to Lion

I've migrated Mail from Snow Leopard to Lion on a new computer but from time to time some messages won't load. It's a real pain because I only dicover it when I go to read a message I want to read. Anyone have any ideas?

Mail, the application, should not cannot contain any message data assets. The Mail application must sit in the Applications folder, and be usable to every User Account on the Mac, and not just yours (understand you might be the only user, but making a point).
Mail, the folder of data for just your emails, should properly be at Home/Library/Mail.
Let me ask again -- in the Applications folder is there an Icon for Mail, and is it the Icon of a postage stamp, or is it perhaps the Icon of a folder?
However, let me note, that now that I have booted back into Snow Leopard, and used Get Info on the Mail Icon in the Applications folder, it is reported to be 77.5 MB! Looking at it from other boot volume (Leopard) does not see all the elements of its "package" apparently. My apologies.
Now it is time for a different test -- Create a New User Account, and as that New User launch Mail and try setting up one new email account - if POP select to leave messages on the server. See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
The reason for doing this is to test the Mail app itself, and not to permanently switch to a new user account. Tell me if the behavior continues in that New User Account with Mail?

Email messages won't download on Mac Pro but do download on iPhone.

Email messages won't download to Mac Pro but do download on iPhone 5. I've made no changes in the settings on added any updates, etc. When I "check for new mail" I hear an ping - a tone I normally don't get but no messages appear. Thanks in advance for an help you can give.

I had to call Apple Support for resolution. I'm not entirely clear on the origin of the problem but it seems that the server name(s) for Apple Mail were changed by Yahoo. It took a considerable time to correct but a senior advisor at Apple pulled it through.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Text messages won't load, visual voice mail barely works, e-mail won't update

I've had the HTC Rhyme for about two weeks. Last week I noticed my text messages were not loading. I I turned the phone off a few times. Still no text messages loading. I spoke with Verizon CS and they tried several solutions that did not work. I finally reset my phone and my text messages started loading again...for a couple of days. Exactly one week later my text messages are not loading again. I am not gonna reset my phone again. In addition to no text messages not loading, my visual voicemail works sometimes ( voicemails show up hours later). My aol email does not update. When I mentioned this to the Verizon CS they said "instead of using the phone's email setup, I should download the aol app from the Google Play Store. So, I downloaded the aol mail app last week. Since I had to reset my phone I had to download the aol mail app again. But, now I can't find the aol mail app in the Google Play Store. I am VERY dissatisfied with this phone.

Sstelliott, I sorry to hear of the issue you are having with your phone and I’m here to help!
Are you able to send text and picture messages? How do you know when you are not receiving a message? Do you get an error message? Are you able to access the Internet on your phone? Are you using a third party message app?
Run the phone in safe mode http://bit.ly/tXe7I4 and have someone send you a text to see if you receive. I want to make sure a third party isn’t causing these issues.
In regards to the visual voice mail, do you notice you have the delayed message when you’re in a certain area? Make sure airplane mode is disabled and that you’re able to access the Internet. Also, make sure call forwarding is disabled by dialing *73 send from your cell. You’ll hear a few beeps and the call will drop. Finally, update the phone by dialing *228 send and selecting option 2 to update. Once the update is complete make sure you power cycle the phone.
The update should also help with the email issues. You mentioned you are unable to find the app in the Google Plat store. Go to the Play store and on the main page select the Menu key. Go to My Apps. There you should see the email app if you previously downloaded it before you did the hard reset.
If you are still having issues after the troubleshooting step above, please post back and I’ll be more than happy to further assist you.

My email messages are not loading. I have not changed any settings. I can still send messages but cannot receive them

As of 5:30 pm yesterday my emails stopped coming in. When I open the account it shows I have 23 messages but nothing loads. I can still send messages and my internet connection is strong. How can I fix this?

Html email - image won't load

You guys are wonderful - when I've worked and worked on a problem and get to the "pulling out my hair" stage, I remember how helpful the forum has been to me . . .
I have put Outlook 2007 on my computer now so I can easily test the quirks of email rendering in that email client.
I'm attempting to test using slices for the nav bar (hopefully a work around for "wonderful" Outlook 2007) but can't get past an image that won't load. I recently combined three images and some text into one image because Outlook was floating the images and spacing them wrong. The image that I'm referring to which now won't load is http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/images/shimoga_pics_text.jpg
The original design displays correctly in browsers: http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/riverrun-guests-email.html

have anything to do with it?

Can't send email; Safari won't load new pages

Mountain Lion has broken mail (smtp) and Safari is so bad, I've had to install Chrome. Is anyone else getting the same kind of bad experience with 10.8? I have spoken to my ISP and my settings are ok according to them (O2), but I can't send emails from the Mail app. As for Safari, even half of Apple's own pages won't load. I'll be reverting to Lion from a cloned disc if I can't get this fixed.

Exactly the same is happening to me and I'm with O2,all the settings are correct as well.I spoke to one of the tech people at o2 and they said they'd received about 30 calls about the same thing,thank God I've got Gmail and the iPhone works perfectly.This is rather serious,please Apple do something about it urgently

My email messages won't display. The preview shows but when I enter the mail it is completly blank

My email messages have stopped displaying in both my mail accounts. I can see a preview but when I enter the individual mail the screen is blank. Not even the preview text is displayed. I have not changed any settings. Does anyone know how to resolve this.

Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

All the pictures in my messages won't load. Please help

the attachments are there but they won't load so I can't view them.

Make sure you have a back-up before doing this. This will erase your phone. To make sure you have a backup,go to Settings, iCloud, Back-up, and under 'back-up now,' you should have a time of your last back-up. Once you confirm you have a back-up, follow this article to restore from an iCloud back-up. I would go back to one (back-up that is) that you know had the pictures showing up (but I think any will do the trick).

Mail messages won't load in Mail 4.5

After a seeming successful installation of Snow Leopard, my Mac Mail also seemed to update properly (4.5). All my incoming items are listed. However, after double clicking on any e-mail in the inbox, a window opens up with the title of the e-mail, but then I get a spinning-spoke "Loading." No content opens and the "Mail" won't close without a Force Quit. Same result with a single click and "Open" from the Mail file menu. E-mail messages succesfully sent.

Some things to check:
Is the drive still plugged in?
Is the drive visible in Finder?
Is the drive visible in Disk Utility?
Is Time Machine still turned on (System Preferences > Time Machine)?
Is the Buffalo drive still selected as the Time Machine destination?
Assuming all those answer are "yes," look for Time Machine errors in the system log. (Search for "backupd" in the system log using the Console app in /Applications/Utilities; you may may need to log on as an administrator to see those entries.)

Email message won't download from server since installing IOS7

Some of my emails both on my iPad and iPhone won't download from server since installing IOS7!

I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone and iPad after installing iOS7. Checked all the settings and spoke to my email provider and everything is set up properly. It's hit or miss which messages don't download from the server too. And occasionally, a message that does download to my iPad, won't download on my iPhone. Everything on my PC downloads properly, it just seems to be an ios7 issue as this wasn't a problem before. My wife uses the same email provider and is still on iOS6.x with no issues. Any help or suggestions would be great.

My yahoo email account won't load on my iPhone.

It will take my password and username but then when I go into the email app and try to load the mailing hangs for ages then says there are 7 other messages. Then I try pressing that to load them but it just sits there!! I haven't been using my yahoo account long but would like to get this sorted so I can actually use it!

Hello. I'm posting this here in case the cause of the problem is this error item. I can receive all messages in my different folders except for the Send folder. I can sync it if I restart TB, but subsequent checks (clicking Get Mail, Download Now or Repair Folder) do not work. The error console has this item in multiple entries:

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Zombie email message won't die! $1 bounty to anyone who can solve this.

I have a message that absolutely will not die. I've tried everything I can think of to delete it, but it keeps coming back. I've tried moving it from one mailbox to another, killing it with the delete key, killing it by cutting it (Command-X), but it lingers on. At this point, it only shows up in the index with a subject and date, but the content of the message is gone. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes a number of times, but it always reappears. I've tried logging into my various accounts through the web interface, but it doesn't exist on the servers anywhere, it's only local as far as I can see.
In my last attempt to get rid of it, I scanned my ENTIRE HARD DRIVE for the string of text containing the subject line using grep, and narrowed it down to a few files in the ~/Library/Mail folder, which I deleted through the Terminal using rm. I then re-opened Mail and rebuilt the mailboxes, and the email STILL appears. It will no longer let me move the message to another mailbox, however, but I can't get the damned thing to disappear.
I will PayPal $1 to anyone who can come up with a solution that doesn't involve recreating my Mail accounts. May the game begin!

Hello,
Are you using an IMAP or POP account?
Anything you do in the Terminal, Finder or some third party Mail app enhancers will very often mess up the index, which appears to be a symptom of.
I think you should force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.
