In "All Inboxes", emails show up as "This email has no content"

In "All Inboxes", all emails (from 2 accounts) show up as "This email has no content" with date 12/31/00, and the messages cannot be viewed, deleted, replied to, etc. But when I select each account separately, the emails display normally. Just started today after I was playing with the "push/fetch" settings last night, but I thought I returned everything to the original settings. Any ideas what might be causing this?

I have this problem too.
The entire email says
((No Sender)
(No Subject)
This message has no content
Two are dated 12/31/69
and one came in today at 8:34pm (This last one has a "2" next to it which may indicate there are two of them?)
There is no trash icon on the screen and there doesn't appear to be ny way to delete them.
How do I delete them?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Somehow a new contact became associated with my email. Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices. I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

Hi 23672!
I have an article here that can definitely help you with that issue. The article is about what to do when a mail message has no content, and can be found here:
iOS 4: Unable to view message body preview or mail receives blank messages

Note that the article was written for iOS 4, but it will work in later iOS versions. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

EMail: "This message has no content"

(iPad 8.0.2) Using the "Mail" app, SOME messages show the "To:", "Subject", and "Date/Time" lines with the Message Box showing: "This message has no content."
However, accessing mail (Yahoo Mail) via Safari (on the iPad) the message contents are properly displayed. I first noticed this after getting the "This message has no content." comment on my iPad, and later seeing the message properly displayed on my iMac (10.9.5) using Safari to access Yahoo mail.
Using the "Mail" application on my iMac to access Yahoo mail, the message in question also displays properly. Again, the iPad Mail "This message has no content." statement rarely happens and just on the iPad.
The work-around is easy, just access email via Safari when this occurs, however, any insight into WHY? Thanks

It's doing that all through the iOS 7 version, too. It's a periodic thing, and seems to be a network problem I'm accessing the content. At a later time, that very same e-mail will have its contents displayed. Sometimes quitting the Mail app and starting it back up, may get it to display.

All my email has disappeared from iCloud. I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013. What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged.

When attempting to print in Pages, I keep getting a message that no printer is detected. I have checked all connections and they are solid, this printer has always worked before, and even if I try to add it, I still get that message.

You may just have an outdated printer driver.

Mail "this message has no content" for random Exchange messages

Are other people still having this issue with Mavericks Mail? I saw many old threads for previous OS X versions.
I have a new MBP (supplied with Mavericks installed - now 10.9.2 Build 13C64) which connects to a local MS Exchange (Small Business Server 2010). Mail is configured to collection mail from it and some other email accounts (eg .mac and Google). Mostly this works fine but randomly I get some emails from the Exchange account which show "Loading ..." in the preview pane and then "This message has no content". These messages show up on my iPhone with full content.
The suggested workaround, from some older thread, was to delete the message and then drag it out of the Trash. This appears to work every time.
Is this a timing issue? Does Mail give up waiting for the Exchange server?
Are others still having this issue?

Back up all data.
Select the message and delete it from the mailbox. It will be moved to the Trash mailbox. Immediately press the key combination command-Z to undelete.

Sending mai from iPad results in "This message has no content"

Hi. I'm using an iPad 3G against a POP3/SMTP e-mail account. Mail seemed to be working fine for the first few days, but now whenever I compose and send a message, it's failing to send the body of the message.
The message looks fine until I tap the "Send" button. If I look at it in the Outbox before it gets sent, it says "this message has no content". After it goes out, I can see it in the Sent folder, but the list says "this message has no content" and the detail view shows the correct recipients and subject, but where the body should appear it says "this message has no content" for new messages or "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it it formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. multipart/alternative"
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew

I had the same problem with POP3 e-mail but found that my gmail (an IMAP account) worked fine.
Both accounts were sync'd from my iMac. One thing I noticed is that on both the iMac and iPad the outgoing POP3 mail server (SMTP) was set to none. On the iMac this hasn't caused any problems but I wondered if it was an issue for the iPad.
iPad Mail had a list of outgoing SMTP server addresses in the secondary server section but they were all disabled. I enabled the one for my POP3 account and the problem with the no "content messages" was fixed for the next e-mail I sent.
So I'd suggest trying the following:
1. Go to Settings and select the Mail, Contacts, Calendar item.
2. Select your POP3 mail Account.
3. Scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server Section (it might be obscured by the keyboard)
4. Select it to bring up the next screen.
5. You'll probably see that the Primary Server is Not Configured. But look to see if your POP3 server is listed in the Other SMTP Severs section. If it is just enable it.
6. If no POP3 servers are listed you'll have to get the information from your e-mail provider and enter it in the Primary Server section (I'd guess).
Hope this works for you.

I get junk mail on my iPad that states "this message has no content". If I click on it my mail freezes up and after some time my mail program works again. I use a .mac address. Anyone have similar issues?

I get junk mail on my iPad that states "this message has no content". If I try to delete it or click on it my .mac mail freezes up and it takes some time for my mail program to continue. Has anyone else had this issue? Ideas for resolution?

Yeah, I've seen it from iOS 7 to the present. It appears to be a network issue, as the Mail app is trying to grab the information to display the first few lines in the abbreviated display. I haven't had mine freeze though. When I click on it, it will simply show a blank message. Now I can quit the app and later reload the app, and "sometimes" the contents come back right away. In other instances, not right away, but eventually.
You might try quitting all the apps, then going to the Settings app to Reset and reset your Network Settings. The iPad will reboot. Try it again after that.

Io7 "This message has no content" and incredibly slow search...

So, ever since upgrading to io7, I've had a few problems with Mail on my iPhone. I'm using a standard IMAP configuration.
I suspect the principal problems here are that the mac is connecte 100% of the time to the email server and no longer has a batch of emails downloaded on the phone.
1) Searching mail is orders of magnitude slower than it was before. Sometimes it just churns and churns. It used to be nearly instant unless I specifically chose to "search for more messages on the server"
2) At least a few times a day messages fail to download... I get "this message has no content". Usually after a while these eventualy download.
3) I finally figured out you could add "subject: from: etc..." to the search bar but why be so gimicky? The original search filters were so much easier to use. Now I have to find the dang colon key?

A friend of mine had the same problem with his search. When he found out that mine was super fast, he did some testing. He ended up taking out Email search.
Settings---> General---> Spotlight Search---> And remove Mail from the list of checked items.
Try that to see if the search speeds up some, I know you may not like that though.

How can I get rid of 14 e-mails that say "This message has no content."

How can I get rid of 14 emails on my iPad Touch that say, "This message has no content." Since I can't open them, neither can I delete them.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you delete them if you access them on another device?

HT1414 Why do I get 'This message has no content' with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my MacBook Pro without any problem, and how can I fix it?

Why do I get - 'This message has no content' - with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my Mac Book Pro without any problem and how can I fix it?

Is this a POP (POP3) email account? If so, you MacBook Pro may be retrieving the email and deleting it off the server before your phone can. Another possibility is that both your Mac and your phone are trying to retrieving it at the same time, and the POP server, which will only allow a single email client connection at a time, is locking out your phone resulting in the "has not been downloaded from the server" error.

In "All Inboxes", emails show up as "This email has no content"
