Mail says "No Message Selected"
and I can't view any listings in mailboxes or searches. I've repaired permissions, closed and reopened, restarted after repair permissions. Running 10.10 on a 2009 iMac 10,1
Back up all data before proceeding.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My mail is set up and it comes up with 75 messages received but when I click onto the mail icon the page is blank(White) with the message 'no message selected' and then goes to the homepage. I have rebooted the iPad and deleted and reloaded my mail account but nothing works.
The app is crashing for some reason - maybe an email with a very large attachment or some crappy spam email is messing things up. Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If mail still crashes, go to your webmail in a browser and see if you have an email in there that might be causing a problem and delete it. Then try the app again. If necessary, quit the app, restart the iPad and then try again.
If that doesnt help, try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
I have a blank screen that says "no message selected" on mail
when i try to get my mail the screen is empty except for a message in the middle "no message selected". everything seems frozen becuse if i tap "all mailboxes" nothing happens. i can not get off the screen unless i go back to may screen with all the icons on it. mail was working fine a few hrs ago
Try closing the Mail app completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
ICloud storage says it's using 4.9 GB for mail, but iCloud Mail says no messages in any folder
I'm at a loss here.
I'm trying to clean out my iCloud Mail. All the folders it shows say no messages, but the storage stats on my devices say that Mail is using 4.9 GB.
Where is the data being used up and how can I delete it?I might have found them...
I used a mail client to set up IMAP and grab ALL the folders it found (used Outlook 2013). For whatever reason, the iCloud Mail website doesn't even show ALL the folders.
Outlook also found 14K inbox messages that were NOT showing in the web version. ***. -
Why does my mail say this message has not been downloaded by the server
Suddenly the majority of my MSN emails say they are not downloaded by the server on my ipad. I didn't have this problem before. I have tried rebooting my ipad and also restarting my email but nothing helps.
Hotmail (Outlook) is down for many users today:
https://status.live.com/
http://downrightnow.com/hotmail
Try accessing Hotmail/Outlook from your Safari browser, rather than the Mail app.

Why does my mail say this message cannot send
Every time i try to send a email from my mail on my laptop it says
"Error This message could not be sent. It will remain in your Outbox until it can be sent.
This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below." could someone tell me how to fix it?From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Accounts tab, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select a server in the menu labeled
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's no server in the menu, select
Edit SMTP Server List...
and add one with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup. -
I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now I cannot retreive or send my e-mails. We have an Exchange server at work. I still receive the e-mails on all my devices just fine and I can see the subject headings & a small portion of the body of the e-mail, but when I open the e-mails there is no body and it reads, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Very aggrevating and is not helping my business at ALL!! Same has happened with both iPads we own now.
Delete then add back the exchange acct on each device.

My mail is not working properly: when I click on an email it hangs, frequently showing the previous email, often for up to a minute. Or it shows "loading" and just sits there showing nothing. OR there is a blank screen saying "no message selected". It's slow to load, and I'm not happy. Recently switched from Windows PC, not impressed so far. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. (I upgraded to Mountain LIon, and don't think I had problems before I did so, though I hadn't had the computer for long.)Hi Sarah,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens. -
Internet Mail only says "All Mail" and "No Messages"
I have Bold 9700 with OS 6 and 4 different emails set up. I have work email with BES for Exchange and three different internet email accounts. All of them have been working fine until today. I have my icons set up so there is a different one for each mail account. The "Messages" icon is set up so that only the BES work email is viewable there. The three internet email accounts each have their own icon. When I open the icon for the problem email account it just says * No Messages * and at the top where it used to have the name of that email account it just says "All Mail". I am still receiving email to this account and I can access it by hitting the blackberry button, selecting Filter, and clicking Inbox. This is very inconvenient however, and I want to make it work the way its supposed to and how the other email accounts work. I tried the following with no success:
1. Power off, pull out battery, wait a minute, put back in and power on.
2. Pull out the battery while it is on and put it back in.
3. Delete the email account and recreate it (it just picked up the old settings).
Please help!!! I know I must have screwed up the view settings for this account but I can't figure out how to fix it.Hola octaviolpgr.
Not sure what you mean by “I've just re-installed Mac OSX Tiger”. If you did an Archive and Install, your mail should all be there, just like the rest of your data.
Anyway, Gmail doesn’t allow the same message to be downloaded more than once via POP by normal means. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes. -
Mail client says "The Message Could Not be Moved"
10.6.8 server on Mac Mini
doing DNS, AFP, Mail, iCal, OD for 8 users
Clients are all 10.6.8 on Mac Mini
Mail is IMAP
Mail is well behaved 98% of the time
But sometimes, on a client, when I try and move a message fro mmy inbox to another mailbox, it says "the message coudl not be moved to mailbox xxxxx"
If I try again immediately afterwards, it always works
So I doubt it is anything like a corrupt envelope index, because that would result in persistant problems.
It's as if the mail server isn't listening momentarily.
This is a fairly fresh build of the OS from DVD. Previous build did exactly the same ting.
Woudl be very grateful for any ideas.To verify the server DNS, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities on the OS X Server box and issue the non-destructive diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
The clients would have references only to your local DNS server(s), visible via the client Network Preferences settings. (These DNS server settings are usually either hard-set in the client, or acquired from DHCP by the client.)
You'll want to use Console.app or direct access to the /var/log directory (on the server), and see what gets logged when the mail message move operation fails.
As a preemptive operation, I'd also rebuild the mailboxes involved (on the client(s) involved). I've seen a few mailbox corruptions over the years, but not one that caused this behavior. -
can't delete mail on phone, message says, Unable to move message The message could not be moved to the mailbox trash.
Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.
This is what worked for me but I've read about other solutions that have worked for some people as well:

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

Email does not appear when using the mail icon on the home screen. I get No message selected showing on the rh side of my screen with the left hand third of the screen blank. Buttons on the top line are greyed out except the new mail one. The word thread appears in black on the top left hand side of the screen The only way out is to close the screen. all other apps work okay.
Hello calverone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great weekend,

I can't recieve forwarded e-mails, i see who forwarded it and who it was forwarded to but no content. Just in the body it says forwarded message as follows and the nothing. Sometimes it will give some numbers such as R:95.9108
P:95.9108 M:97.0282 C:986951 )No problem at all using gmail. The only reason that I asked was because I did "Google" the issue and gmail came up in the search a couple ot times and I thought that I had seen this issue on the discussion site before and gmail came to mind. Personally, I love Google. I would be lost without it, but I digress.
I was just going to suggest that you may have better success looking for answers on the gmail for iOS devices help site or on the gmail general help site. I don't have gmail so I really know nothing about it and the suggestion that I made in my first post is merely a standard troubleshooting step that helps solve many minor issues on the iPad. -
