IPhone 3G mail with IMAP gmail getting "message has no content"

I have been using a POP3 mail account with no trouble. I switched to gMail, and started getting occasional problems where mail forwarded from my work e-mail would show up as "message has no content" on the iPhone, yet in the gMail web interface, there is indeed content. I have seen that a lot of other people are having this problem also, and it seems to have started with the upgrade to software version 2.1. Does anyone know if Apple is working on this problem? I really need to get this to work, because I am the sole iPhone user here amidst a sea of Blackberry users, and I cannot afford to look like I am the only one having a problem.

have the exact same problem and would appreciate some suggestions and solutions as well.

  • How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc.  when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

    my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5.  so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine. 
    can you pls help

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How should I mark a message as spam when using Mail with IMAP Gmail

    Hi,
    I've been using Apple Mail 3.2 with Gmail's IMAP for several month's and am very happy with the setup. One feature of Gmail that's great is the spam filtering, however, every day a couple spam messages get through the filtering. My question is this: What's the best way to train Gmail of a spam message?
    Accessing Gmail through the Safari allows you to mark a message as Spam. I assume that Gmail then does something to train its algorithm that spam has been received so that a similar message will go direct to the Spam folder the next time its received.
    I prefer to deal with my email via Apple Mail or via the iPhone Mail and have been moving spam messages to the Spam folder. Does this action do anything to train Gmail's spam filtering so that a similar message will go direct to the spam folder?
    Thanks

    Hello Hal:
    I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • 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.

    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"

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    You'd only get that message if iOS 7.0 Beta was installed on this phone. There is no fix. Either return the phone for a refund, or give it back to your boyfriend & have him get it fixed.

  • How do I get rid of "this message has no content?"

    In Apple Mail, I need to send a pdf file "without a message," however when received the message reads "this message has no content."

    While waiting for an answer, I figured out a solution: type any character, say a period, give it the color of the page (white)...bingo...no more annoying "no content" message.

    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
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3426
    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!

  • Oicnnot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00. The emails keep multiplying in my inbox

    I cannot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00

    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?

  • 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.

  • "this message has no content" in Mountain Lion

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I often receive "message has no content" for replies to the active email, meaning the one which has been clicked on, and is being displayed.  I have to close Mail and re-open before I am able to view the content of the message, though the "no content" error still appears in the email list.  Eventually it goes away.
    Running 10.8.1, and receiving mail from Exchange 2010.  I do not observe this issue with email received by my Gmail account.

    I currently have this issue, rebuilding and cleaning the mail boxes does nothing... I did not tice once I passed 3000 messages the mail application starts getting funky.
    Here are my symptoms:
    First the email app stops marking read messages.
    App starts slowing down.
    Calendar starts giving me it can not communicate with the server
    Then it starts showing me no content email messages
    So here is my opinion but I need help to confirm... Gathered from this very common problem...
    Mac OS does not handle weak or slow internet connections well and does not recover well (Noticed at this at the airport today, also notice this on the iphone, bad wifi really kills any sort of functionality).  This might cause the requests to end unexpectedly and return nothing...
    There seems to be a size limitation the mail application can handle properly or there is a memory leak in the mail application.   From what I read it uses a free DB product that likely doesn't handle large amounts of data very well.
    Likely going to switch to Outlook 2011 unless Apple fixes these problems (Apple likely will not fix this as seen in all the dead end blogs for this subject), or not use the mac for work as this makes things more painful than it needs to be.
