I get email with blank "from", blank "subject" and nothing in it! What is i

Anybody knows why I have started getting emails that have no from, no subject and no body? I'm not sure when it started exactly, I have been getting about one a week and today I got 2 together. Strange behaviour...

I have been getting these too! They really bother me. And sometimes I get email that has a weird bunch of nonsense letters and numbers as the sender.
I usually delete these immediately without opening them, but wonder what is going on!

  • Can message filters cause messages with blank subject and 1969 dates

    I have done many things to try to trace why I get messages with blank subjects and 1969 dates.
    downloaded TB
    created all new folders
    moved only persdict and msfFilterRules to the new profile.
    At this try
    set the option NOT to download messages on startup
    went off line and compacted all folders.
    emptied the inbox and all subfolders.
    Exited TB.
    deleted all files under pop.verizon.net except msgFilters rules.
    Deleted all msf files for local folders in my profile.
    opened TB.
    a few times
    --With Firefox went to verizon webmail and moved a few messages to the Verizon inbox.
    --moved to TB window
    -- Clicked <get messages>
    -- still received blank messages with 1969 dates
    -- deleted those messages
    -- emptied trash
    went to the filter rules and unclicked all filters that send files to local folders
    left 2 rules in place
    (1) if a sender was in my address list send the message to inbox folder called "Known sender"
    (2) if the subject was NOT a weird string like "&*%$@!+=?><" send the message to inbox folder called "Suspicious" This filter is because there is not an ELSE function in TB it is extremely unlikely that a message would have such a subject.
    [These two filters should move all messages except junk to the two folders.]
    I then tried the above procedure of going to Verizon, moving messages to Verizon Inbox, etc. a few times.
    I did NOT get the messages with blank subject and 1969 date!!
    Questions:
    (1) Is this just a fluke?
    (2) From understanding the internals of TB is it reasonable that some now-unchecked message filter(s) had caused there to be the oddball messages?
    (3) if It is a filter rule, how can I find out which one it is?

    I looked though all the condition specification options I do not see how using header info in a condition specification would '''change '''the header info.
    I looked at the possible actions on filters.
    I only see "tag" and "Star" as ones that might change header info.
    However, I found out that when I unchecked the first 17 of 19 filters and just had the two I explained above I would sometimes get a message with the 1969 date.
    Since then I deleted those two rules and made new versions and moved them to the bottom where the earlier versions had been. I have not had the 1969 messages since!!
    I have put a new filter at the top of the list that checks whether the date is before 1/1/971. If teh date is before 1/1/1971 the filter tags the message as important and moves it into the inbox folder named "Suspicious".
    I have not seen any 1969 messages since then.
    Since the problem was intermittent and because I was not able to create conditions whereby The 1969 dates would or would not occur, the problem may not be 'fixed'. I'll watch it for a while
    Meanwhile, I'll continue to manually go though the webmail on Verizon and as a test only download mail that I do not want to save for the long term. Messages I want to keep I'll move messages I want to keep for the long term into foldrs on Verizon. '''If '''after a while, I do not get any more of the 1969 messages, I'll move messages I want to keep into the Verizon inbox and download them into TB

  • IMAP Email Portlet Error accessing email with blank subject field

    I have sucessfully deployed imap portlet and added it to a page. I am able to read and compose emails. However while testing the portlet I ran into few problems:
    1. Cannot read an email from inbox if the subject field of email is blank. Only way to read this email is to first select an email that has a subject and then navigate through "next" or "previous" button to read this email.
    2. Some of the emails does not show the attachments. Some of them dooes show it. I am unable to figure why is it doing so.
    3. It takes too long to load and sometimes ends up in "portlet time out".
    Has anyone else also ran into such problems. Is there a solution to these problems.
    Thanks
    Abhishek Periwal

    Thanks for early reply.
    I analayzed my emails and figured out that email that are forwarded to me with some attachments have problems. These emails do not include the actual attachments , they only include the text part written by the sender. It will be great if this bug gets fixed.
    Secondly I increased the time out and it helped. Thanks for your suggestion.
    Thanks

  • I use blackboard, since the latest update to 3.6.14, I get errors with caching applets, use IE and works fine. Whats happened and what can I do to resolve it?

    Error Cache:
    Unable to update files in cache.
    Name: myApplet
    java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: jar/dragndrop_applet.jar
    I get a bunch of these Cache Errors. Happens with application only, its blackboard hosted by continuinged.uml.edu.

    What can I do to resolve this problem?

    There's a bug in 3.6.14 with Java applets. 3.6.15 was released last Friday to fix that bug. Use '''Help > Check for Updates''' to start the update process to 3.6.15.

  • HT5312 My problem is that I'm n not receiving the rescue email, I retried so many times and nothing happened. What should I do?

    Every time I want to buy an app I get this message saying "You need to answer security questions first" and the problem is I forgot the answers to these questions, it showed me that if I forgot my answers I should visit Appleid.apple.com and send a "reset security questions e-mail", I pressed on that link, signed in then pressed on this option "Send reset security info email to c*****@hotmail.com" I typed my email *the same Apple account email* and it showed me that the "reset security questions e-mail" has been sent to my account, I logged in to my account and found nothing, I tried waiting but nothing happened, I did the whole same thing many times, sending the "reset security questions e-mail" but I received nothing on my email. What should I do?
    I need to reset these questions because I need my apple ID
    Thanks for your time

    Check the spam filter. If it's not there, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • HT1430 I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

    I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

    Quit mail like this.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • Accidentally delete iPhoto and now left with blank photos and blank events

    Hi,
    I have accidentally deleted iPhoto app and now i am left with blank photos and blank events in my iphoto.
    I tried eveything. Ranging from removing the pplist, installing, Iphoto Library manager but it seems to get worse.
    i have the original package content
    and this is how my iphoto library icon looks like.
    And when i try to drop my original content package into the new iphoto, it will show an error message.
    Kindly tell me what else can i do?
    im using iphoto'09

    Outside chance: try recover the deleted files with an (expensive) app like File Salvage
    Other than that, no hope.

  • Emailing with sound from Centro camcorder?

    Has anyone sent videos via email, with sound from your Centro camcorder?
    I was so bummed, sent several videos with several friends, to a friend for her Birthday and when she received them there was no sound or option for?
    I'm hoping I just missed something? Thanks
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    Hello!
    You could send out vids via email but those you send it too need to use the Quicktime player to play them since they are in 3GP or 3GPP format.  They can get the play via http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

  • I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased.  Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare.  How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

    I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased.  When I look at the charges on my online banking a phone number is provided, but when I call that number it tells me to go to the web site.  Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare. How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account to see what app(s) they are from ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. And you haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?
    If you haven't made them, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
