Mail not Displaying messages

For a few days, my Mail.app has not been displaying messages. It's kind of a nuisance, I receive the title and the sender but it does not load any of the body. I've changed from Wi-Fi at many different access points to Edge and have even left it for hours at a time and it just does not load. I have a screenshot here
if anyone has seen it before. Thanks for your help in advance.

If you haven't already done so, try doing a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. A reset does not affect any data or settings.
If no change after a reset, try deleting and recreating the email account on your iPhone.

  • Apple Mail not displaying message content

    Since the last few days, Apple Mail has suddenly stopped displaying message content in the message body pane. If you want to read an email, you either have to double click it to open it in its own window or else Quit Mail and reopen, which works for a while. This problem has started just 2-3 days ago. Any suggestions?

    This is a real problem that I have been experiencing in the browser while checking mail. I will log into iCloud adn when I click on an email, only part of the email will display. On the iPhone, the email displays fine. it's only when I log into iCloud from a desktop broswer that I am experiencing this problem. This is not good and should be fix...please. This has been going on for more than a few days. Is there someone we should alert.
    Thank you,

  • 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!

    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 ?)

  • Mail not displaying messages from self as Unread

    Mails that I send to myself have suddenly stopped showing up as automatically unread in the inbox. Neither does the dock icon for Mail show the red circle indicating a new mail. Similarly with Ical mails alerts to me. Any clue which setting has got messed up?

    Once upon a time, with POP access at least, addressing a Gmail message to self would not be presented for download, and only available on the server view via browser. I can't remember when or if I tested IMAP access.
    Just now I sent a test, and on my two Macs it is presented as Read on both.
    Gmail is neither pure IMAP nor pure POP, and it can be weird.

  • Why is Mail 6.2 not displaying messages from my Exchange account?

    Greetings,
    I have a new 13" MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and I'm noticing that most of the time my Mail inbox is not displaying messages from my work Exchange account; however, it does display messages correctly for my Gmail account.  I've included a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Garry

    I have the same problem, as does a coworker. It happens, for instance, if I click on another mailbox (such as Junk) then go back to the inbox. Our company uses Exchange. Quitting mail usually fixes it. A rebuild of the mailbox will too.  Only happens on my Mac at work, not my Mac at home (connected via VPN).
    Another problem I have is with mail not syncing. Mail I have deleted from another device (such as on my Mac at home or my iPad) does not get deleted from my inbox at work. Sometimes they'll go away when I click on them. Other times they won't go away and the only way to delete them is to rebuild the mailbox.
    And lately I have had problems with attachments. Attachments sent from my Exchange account at work show up as .eml attachments in my iCloud account and mime attachments on my iPad or as a string of characters (20-30), not as an attachment. This happens whether sent from home or work.
    I have our IT department looking into the third problem (which is the most vital one for me).  I'll report the other two annoying problems and see what they can figure out.

  • TS3276 Mac Mail on OSX 10.8.2 not displaying messages

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 I'm having a lot of problems with my email (works fine on other devices I have). The main one is that isn't not displaying messages, it shows there's 3 new mail messages, but the message list and preview window are empty. This doesn't happen all the time but when it does nothing I do fixes it. Then after a while it will fix itself, then the issue recurs again.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this??
    Thanks

    I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list.  That may solve it.

  • 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

  • Email does not display message body

    The message body of emails displayed fine for months but suddenly does not display message body of any email.  Can only see to, from, subject line on right side of screen.  Blank body.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • 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 content of messages

    When I open a message a spinning wheel and a text message saying "loading" is displayed. The message disappears but the body of the message is never displayed.
    This is only with messages in my inbox that were downloaded today. Messages downloaded yesterday or messages filtered into mailboxes other than the inbox display as usual.
    Messages that do not display in Mail on my MacBook Air open fine on my iPhone or Pad.

    Tried that. Didn't work. After getting your response I tried the solution to my other problem with Mail--not downloading mail: I deleted the account then recreated it. The messages previously unreadable are now readable. Plus, all the message that didn't get downloaded today were downloaded.
    When is Apple gonna get Mail straight? The problems are well known. Have been from the Yosemite upgrade.

  • Mail not displaying most recent messages --1000 message capacity?

    Sorry if this is a duplicate topic, I seached, but found nothing.
    Here's my situation:
    I have two email account on my iPhone. One is gmail, and one is my school email account. Before today, I have had no issues with mail at all, however, this morning when I go to check my school email, it showed me emails from last November as being the newest emails (and had correctely marked them as read). At the bottom of the list of emails, it said displaying "some number" out of 1000 messages. I have well over 1700 emails on this account so I do not understand why it was only counting up to 1000 of them all of the sudden, since I had passed the 1000 message barrier a long time ago.
    After deleting tons of old emails, my phone then displayed messages from March of 2009, and still said "out of 1000" at the bottom. So, I logged onto my email and saw that I still had 1064 messages in the inbox. I then deleted more old messages until the inbox was at well under 900, and then all of the "missing" mail came through.
    So, after my longwinded story, I guess I'm trying to ask why that happened, and if there is some email capacity I reached. I only have my phone display the last 50 messages, so I do not understand why it even matter how many messages are in the inbox.
    Sorry if my wording is terrible... It's Friday and I'm tired.
    thanks for any help!

    I have the same problem and posted about it. So it's confirmed it's happening to more than 1 person. I also have 2 accounts setp up. Both are yahoo. One account is fine the other shows mail from 2 years ago as recent. I have over 2k messages in one folder and I can not delete them. They are work history. That's why I love the new yahoo cause it works like gmail and I can search that history now.
    Anyway I need this fixed cause the inbox only shows about 10 new messages and then only shows like 6 months ago and older.
    They have worked fine over the last month and now all the sudden I get up this morning and it went to crap..

  • Mail not Diplaying Messages :-(

    I have several account on the mail app, unfotunately on of the accounts is not displaying the messages in the preview pane, even though it recongnizes them in the account list with the number of message that have not been read.
    I tried removing the plist for this mbox, but still no dice. I would prefer if the solution would not involve a reinstaltion since I have woeful amounts of rules set up to handle a large bulk of our mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi Ben. You're welcome.
    for some reason my inbox was turned into a
    folder instead of a .mbox file.
    Well, this is the kind of things that I was looking for when I asked you to post the contents of the account folders. Note, however, that it should still be a folder, not a file, even after adding the .mbox extension.
    It looks like you've tried to fix the problem without quitting Mail first, and have created other issues in the process, or maybe there is something else going on. It would have been a better idea to just provide the information I was asking for...
    Now the issues is that mail has started showing its
    famous message of "take this account online..." and
    of course it is online.
    If this is happening to one mailbox only, and it's the result of you having been tinkering with the contents of the Mail folder, rebuilding the mailbox probably will fix it, i.e. select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    You should consider making a backup copy of the entire Mail folder first, and keep it until all the issues have been sorted out. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example.
    any help would be greatly appreciated and would call
    for a round of drinks when I head out to Spain!
    I take your word for it...

  • Mail not displaying attachments correctly

    I wondered if anyone can help me out with the following please?
    From time to time when receiving email attachment in mail I do not receive the attachment as a downloadable file, instead mail does not recognize the attachment and displays garbled text (See below sample).
    This can happen with simple single Word files emailed to me and has happened with other file types such as PowerPoint and Jpegs. The problem is intermittent but is very irritating.
    My ISP is AOL and I am running Panther on my MAC .
    Incidentally my work around is to access the mail using AOL’s website and downloading the attachment from there.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue in mail? Thanks gang.

    Linda,
    This next line of questions, and suggestion for things to observe, should not be pursued, without some feedback, and perhaps additional info. However, if some files leftover from when Panther and Mail 1.3 was used, are present, then the index file now used in Mail 2.0/2.1 may be corrupted, and if so, it will never impact every Mac, and its Mail exactly the same way.
    Since your mailboxes, or at least some of them, originated in Panther, I want you to read the article at the link below, and get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes -- however, the problem is not usually as severe with xxxx.imapmbox folders, but can still be present:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
    This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger, which will be of the form, xxxx.imapmbox.
    Also, please report the size of each file or folder. Do not, however, try to list the files that are within the folder named Messages, that is found in each and every mailbox. For any On My Mac mailboxes, it is very important to compare the size of any file named "mbox" with that of the Messages folder. If the mbox is greater in size than the Messages folder, then not all messages have been converted to be in the Messages folder. Also, if any xxxx.mbox folder has more than one folder with Messages in its name, things are not what they should be.
    The path to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder. Even though you are using IMAP, other mailboxes (On My Mac or POP) might still corrupt the Envelope Index that Mail 2.x now uses instead of separate index files in each mailbox.
