Mail not displaying certain messages

Mail is suddenly not displaying certain messages in mailboxes. I can see and select the message in the center pane, but when I click on it to display, I get the "Loading" text and the spinner. This continues without resolution, though sometimes the messages will display after quitting Mail and/or rebuilding the Mailbox.
It is not random messages that do this, but always the same ones that refuse to display. But they will display sometimes after a rebuild, so I know they aren't gone.
Some have image attachtments, others do not.
This just started this morning, following running Disk Utility to repair some HD corruption last night. Prior to that, Mail (and Safari) had been running very slowly for about three weeks.
I have already repaired permissions on this drive.

Acutab,
I had the same problem. I took your advice and rebuilt the mailbox-voila. The problem was solved. I have also noticed Safari running slow. I will try and run Disk Utility

Mail not displaying any messages. Blank preview panes.

I am not entirely sure when this started, but here is my problem:
I have to constantly quit and re-open Mail. When it is hidden or minimized in the dock and I receive a new mail message (which I am notified by the red badge number on the dock icon) I will not be able to see any of my messages when I bring the window to focus. If I select the Inbox...nothing. If I select individual accounts...nothing. It says I have a new message and there is a new message indicated by a number next to the account name, but the preview pane and message list pane will display absolutely nothing.
The only way to fix it is to quit and then re-open, but it will usually happen right again. That's the odd part...this does not happen all the time.
I currently have 3 mail accounts setup as IMAP exactly the same on my iMac and Macbook running Leopard 10.5.2.
To make it more confusing, this problem occurs on the Macbook about 10% of the time.
Any suggestions?

Woooooo!
It was a looooooong process and I would hate to leave out any steps and cause you to lose your saved mail.
Try this first.
Call them. Ask for tech support.
On the prompt, say "leopard"
When they ask for what kind of computer tell them the computer you are working on.
They will ask you for your name, etc. and serial number of your computer.
In my experience, they haven't asked for the date of my purchase of leopard.
Maybe they look up when you registered it; I don't know.
Anyway, tell them the issue & say a friend resolved it thru tech support, but the problem had to be bumped up to a "product specialist."
If they don't help you, post again and tell me.
I'll try and do it.

Workflow outbound notification not displaying certain information

Hi All,
We have an issue with PO notification. Randomly some of the PO approval notification emails are not displaying certain feilds like Ship-to, bill-to and PO Number, but it displays the PO lines properly. Also this is only happening for POs having attachments.
Blank fields in PO Approval Emails
Have found a bug "Bug 2646120: E-MAILED PO DOES NOT DISPLAY ADDRESSES OF SUPPLIER, SHIP-TO OR BILL-TO" in metalink which is similar , but it seems to be setup issue. In our case issue is getting fixed after we bounce notification mailer. I think this is happening because of workflow reaching certain limits or either some or other bug with workflow. Please let me know if any one had similar experiences.
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Hussain,
We are on 11.5.10.2 and OS is RHEL 5, issue is that at the moment i dont have access to logs (I hoping to see errors similar to out of memory ;-) to justify the case) . Was checking whether any one has seen similar issues and are there any limitations with mail size/attachment size for workfow outbound notification. I could not get this info in metalink or google.
Thanks,
Aditya

Mail occasionally displays zero messages

Mail occasionally displays 0 messages. This happens intermittently and I'm not able to associate it with any particular behavior.
When this occurs mail will displays no messages in the message viewer window, for any mailbox, even though each mailbox has many messages, and it shows an explicit message in the header bar area that there are zero messages in particular mailboxes that are not empty. This can happen when there is new mail, mail indicates that there is new mail but it doesn't display messages in the pane.
When this happens mail will not respond to quit, but activity monitor doesn't show mail as unresponsive. After a forced quit mail seems to function normally, but this is worrying.
Is this a known problem?
thanks,
J

Hi John, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I presume this is an IMAP account?
Anyway, try these..
Quit Mail.
In your Home folder. open Library folder, open Mail folder in that, look for the Envelope Index, and drag it to the Desktop.
Then in your Home folder. open Library folder, open Caches folder in that, look for the Mail, and drag it to the Desktop.Move Envelope Index to the Desktop in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Move this folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail

Incoming mail not displaying?

Incoming mail not displaying?, appears to download but does not display. Began today. Nothing has changed with computer hardware or software. Mail working fine on iPhone. Any suggestions?

Hi Linc,
Usually after about a couple of minutes use.
Not one particular message - it will freeze for a moment then completely crash
It seems to have solved it self now though.
I can view my text.
Used CCleaner to clear all cache, under the mail app and all miscellaneous cache too.
Restarted laptop and works a treat now.
Curious as to whether it was due to the upgrade to Maverick though

Mail not displaying html

I have turned off 'Display Remote images...' quit Mail. Turned on 'Display Remote Images..' and quit Mail. Mail still will not display html messages.
What next?

I've got the same problem, though it's fairly consistent (not random). Each week I receive an HTML email from my ISP with my site's statistics, and I've not been able to read one yet with Mail ["Version 3.1 (914/915)"].
All of the View>Message>(alternatives) menu items are grayed out no matter how I try to read/select/etc. the message.
I tried the PREF SETTER suggestion from above, and now I have a preference PreferPlainText (type Boolean) set to False (it wasn't there so I created one) and it makes no difference.
This is kind of disconcerting as I was deleting "empty" emails for a while before I realized that they were not empty! Who knows what great jokes my sister sent me that I missed...
BTW I can view the message if I look at the raw source (in this case the email is mostly text).

Why do IMAP accounts not display new messages in viewer?

I have been having persistent problems with Mail not displaying new IMAP messages in the viewer. I know the messages are on the server because I can see them on my iPhone. Sometimes they will appear if I quit Mail, then relaunch it. Other times it is necessary to restart to make them appear. I have deleted and recreated the accounts (MobileMe and Gmail), reinstalled the 10.5.7 update and applied the latest Java update.
The Console messages make it seem like in might be a conflict with Safari 4.02. Upon starting Mail I get messages like this:
07/27/2009 3:01:35 PM Mail[302] WebKit Threading Violation - NSData* -[WebArchive data](WebArchive*, objc_selector*) called from secondary thread.
I've seen similar complaints elsewhere in forums, but have found no solutions. Is there one?

Can you refrain from viewing the messages on the iPhone, and only check via webmail to see if new ones are then failing to be noted?
Btw, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced is use IDLE selected for either account -- I select it for MobileMe, but not for Gmail? When selected for MobileMe, the mail is "pushed" to eligible devices, and in Mail, results in the new message chime not sounding for that one account.

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.

Firefox 4 not displaying certain content

On the below website, since firefox 4 was released it was working fine, but since firefox 4, it doesnt display certain text, please see below the two links provided of pictures, one displaying a picture from Microsoft IE, and Firefox version.
Microsoft IE (How it should display): http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/7798/ieimg.png
Firefox (It's not displaying certain text):
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/2622/firefoximg.png
Now is this due to the HTML used or the browser?
Thanks

This is a little hard to diagnose from the pictures. I'm guessing that the box comes up blank at first and then is filled in from the server in real time after you make a selection from the drop-down control. Is that how it is supposed to work?
(Edit: I assumed the box was blank, but in case it is "white on white", you could try selecting that area, which would make it possible to see whether anything is there.)
Is there any part of the site that can be used without a login that demonstrates the same problem? (I went to the demo, but it's just a Flash movie...)
If not, you could check Firefox's Error Console (Tools menu). First click Clear, then reload the page that you want to use. There may be lots of warnings, but is anything marked with the "X" error symbol? Then click the link or button or drop-down that should populate the information. Check the Error Console for new errors. Although it's rare that you could fix such errors from your end, it might be possible, or you could report them to the site.

ADF FACES: af:messages/ does not display my messages at all

I am having an issue displaying messages using ADF MyFaces EA20.
<af:messages />
Within all backing beans I call messages with the following method to conveniently display messages when needed.
// Add invalid email address message
JSFUtils.addMsgToContext(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "setEmail_error", MsgConstants.INVALID_EMAIL);
The method utilized can be seen below:
public static void addMsgToContext(FacesMessage.Severity severity, String msgKey, String descKey) {
    // Check the parameter, if either short desc or desc both are empty
    if (StringUtils.isEmpty(descKey)) {
        logger.error("Message description are empty. Do NOTHING just return");
        return;
    try {
        logger.debug("Add Message to Context");
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application application = context.getApplication();
        // Add the message to the context
        context.addMessage(msgKey, getMessageFromBundle(descKey, severity));
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        * Supress RuntimeException.
        logger.error("Error occured when add message to context", e);
With the first login page when validating username and password, the messages I send to the context display correctly, for example, incorrect password please try again and this uses exactly the same code as above in the backing bean.
However once a session has started the messages simply do not get displayed and are not included in the HTML the <af:messages /> is replaced with nothing.
No runtime exception is thrown.
If anyone has any idea of why the messages are not being displayed I would be very grateful to hear them.
Finally if I may add that I used this method of displaying messages in a previous project and it was fine. This time the only difference is that I am using Hibernate.
The closest answer I could find to a similar issue with Oracle Forums was:
The messages have to be added before the Render Response phase. It's generally very unusual to add messages in a bean getter/setter. I'd restrict yourself to adding messages in event listeners and actions.
I do put messages in my setter methods as this is where I perform validation, but I have tried moving them to the main method called by the action button and this still does not display my messages.

Frank
There is a standard way? Next time you can simply tell me to RTFM ;-) . I am working on a project and was assigned my particular section and was told that the messaging aspect and validation was not urgent, until now near the end of the project when it has become urgent. Rather then listen to my colleagues answer of "this is the way to do it" your answer suggested that we working in a non-standard way.
Having looked at Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3) Documentation, Validation, Conversion, and the Application Lifecycle section I noticed:
Render response:
Either display new page based on invoked navigation rules, or displays same page with errors.
I was providing a new navigation String to the same page under all conditions, which I guess gives a new context and so does not display the messages. Under error conditions I now return an empty navigation String and now it displays my messages.
Thank you for your help with this and I promise to read the manual next time.

Displaying certain messages by e-mail

Is it possible to display certain e-mails by e-mail instead of name, if that makes sense? I am forwarding e-mails from a hotmail account and since it is registered under the same name as my mail account, it displays my name in the from section when I want it to display my e-mail. Thanks.

I don't think this is something you can control by account.
If you are just trying to keep the messages separate so you can identify them, then you can create a new mail box, and build a message rule that says if the message is from a certain address to move the message to the new mailbox.

Mail not displaying Message Viewer window

Hi,
Just installed Lion on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac. After installing Lion, Mail refuses to display the message viewer window. I can open 'file > new message' and 'file > new note' windows but when selecting 'new viewer window' nothing happens, the same if I select 'Mail > Preferences'. Mail seems to be connecting and downloading messages okay but I can't view them!
Any help appreciated!
Chris

Simular problem:
Its iMail Version 6.3 (1503) which comes with a fresh install of 10.8.3.
Any email base64 encoded is corrupted or not shown.
eg Any message from and Exchange Client that has both plain text and html in the same message where the plain text section is Base64 encoded.
eg
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="_000_CD848A046C8D3_"
MIME-Version: 1.0
--_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
-_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
The work arround it to switch to the classic view, open the message there, then switch back to the modern view and the text of the message magically appears. Its probably something to do with the way in which the new iMail processes message bodies, that the older style viewer had fixed. (You can switch between classic view and modern view under the Vieweing preferences tab)
It also seems to impact sent messages or anything thats been base64 encoded.
Hopefully its such a major bug it will be fixed soon. (lol, like some of the bugs in iMail on 10.6.8 were fixed ?)
