Mail displays blank messages after upgrading to mavericks

In Mail some, but not all emails display with no content at all. This is extremely frustrating and embarrassing when I have to tell my clients I can't read my email!
Has anyone else got this? Is there a solution?
Thanks

I have worked it out a bit.
I can now read my emails.
The problems only occurred to emails with rules applied to them, and the particular client I was having issues with was nested within another folder.
I had done some housekeeping and moved all my filtered clients emails into a parent folder named 'clients' with all subfolders within named after the particular clients.
I have now dragged the child folders out of the parent folder and can now read my emails. I have no idea why it caused these problems, I have a 'suppliers' parent folder with supplier child folders within and they're all visible.
Frustrating, but at least I can do some work now…

Animated gif in mail are not visible after upgrade to mavericks

Hi,
I use a animated gif in my signature in mail. This gif was playing normally (like a animated gif) in mountain lion when I writes a new message. After upgrading to mavericks I can't see the animated gif playing. I just see the first frame. However when I send a mail to my iPad using iOS 7 the animated gif is playing normally.
Thanx for every answer!

I'm having this issue as well — I can no longer send animated gifs in Mail with Mavericks (10.9.0). The image retains its full image size and remains a gif format, but does not play, just sits static. This also affects forwarding animated gifs — which play fine in the mail window — they are static in the compose window and are sent static.

When I try to reopen it comes back to the same error message. How do I fix this?

Mail - only email headers after upgrading to Mavericks

Upgraded to Mavericks and now on the emails received before the upgrade I can only see the header information - the body of the email isn't there.
I do have a back up - but then I'll lose all my recent emails.
I've searched the forums - but I can't find the user/library/mail folder that some people are suggesting.
Any ideas for a quick / simple fix?
thanks

Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

Dear All,
I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
Thank you in advance!
Olek

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Safari not displaying pages correctly after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi, I just upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2010) to Mavericks and safari now displays web pages as if I was really zoomed in. When I load a page I will see it correctly for a second and it will then zoom in (no amount of pinch on my trackpad solves the problem). I can cmd - a few times to get it back to a normal display size, but I need to do it for every tab I open. When I open chrome, everything displays properly. Any Idea on what could cause this problem? Thx in advance
Sorry if I am not posting to the right forum, kinda new here

Try holding the control key and using a 2 finger swipe up or down (direction depends on how you have the track pad set) and see if you may inadvertently done zoom from this, it is different from a pinch zoom

Mail not importing messages after upgrade to tiger

I've just upgraded to Tiger. Everything is working well, except mail. The initial process of importing messages goes on forever! I left it running overnight, and it still was not done. I have tried cancelling and restarting. I have also restarted the machine several times. It looks like the process is just stalling. i do have over 2000 messages in my mailbox, but even so, 8+ hours seems excesive.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Mail showing attached pictures from previous email after upgrade to Mavericks

My Apple Mail app is configured to show the email body in the bottom pane when I select an email in the email list in the top pane.
I receive emails on a scheduled basis from a security camera. The email contains attached pictures.
THE BUG: After upgrading to Mavericks, when I am in Mail and am going from one email to the other, the image does not refresh to the image from the newly selected email. It continues to display the images from the first email that was selected.
Is this a known issue. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Al.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?fnode=51
When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

I try to purchase Pages (after upgrading to Maverick OS) and keep getting this message:
Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.
How to I get past this? I cannot find anything referencing preflight file. Who can identify this?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL. Log out, log back in, and test.
