Mail v 7.2 - why are emails blank?

I'm using an iMac, late 2009. Upgraded to Mavericks months ago.
Tonite I was going through some older emails, and they open but there is no text in them.
I hit "reply" and then I can see the content. It also works if I hit "forward".
I just sent myself an email with text in it. It was blank.
Done a "rebuild mailbox", and rebooted. Checked my "test" email and it is blank except for the subject line.
I've looked through other saved emails, some show the text, others do not.
Thanks for any help!

It does sound like you have an IMAP type email account with your ISP. So I would open your Apple "Mail" app>Preferences>Accounts>then select the "Advanced" button over in the right side of the window>you should see a line below that that reads "Remove copy from Server after retrieving a message:" and then a dropdown box lets you select the interval. (See image below.) If that line is "Checked, then the IMAP server will automatically delete the email after that time period, AND because its IMAP, that will cause the email to Also be deleted on your computer. I would "Uncheck" that box, and that should solve the issue.

My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I clickclick on them?

My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I

For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail '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 and Safari apps to close them, 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.

Why are emails sending twice?

I just found out that some recipients of my emails from my icloud account are receiving them twice. Why would that be and is there a fix for that?

I wanted to update this in case others have a similar issue and think it might be a problem with their mail account. I have since done a bit of follow up with others who have recently recevied some emails from me and found they aren't getting duplicates. This is not a mail/icloud account problem but rather an issue of forwarding preferences.

Why are emails missing in the to: line?

In the iOS mail app I have noticed that some mass emails are missing addressees are missing in the to: line. They are not in the cc: or bcc: line either. However I know they are there when I view the email online or on my computer. This is happening with multiple accounts too. Any suggestions?

Am I missing something here?
Yes, apps sold in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices; iPhones, iPads and iPods Touch.
Apps sold in the Mac App Store are for Macs.
iOS apps don't run on Macs and Mac apps don't run on Macs. If a developer has developed an app for both operating systems, they are sold separately in their respective app store.

Why are emails to me bouncing back to sender?

I am experiencing problems receiving emails. Select senders are receiving bounce backs to me. They are reporting this diagnostic error message: The following organization rejected your message: mx4.mac.com.akadns.net. It only happens for certain senders.
Here is more information from diagnostic message: mx4.mac.com.akadns.net #<mx4.mac.com.akadns.net #5.7.1 SMTP; 550 5.7.1 Mail from IP 66.175.56.169 was rejected due to listing in Spamhaus SBL. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=66.175.56.169 : [email protected]> #SMTP#
This just started happening out of the blue. I have been using the current configuration for a couple years.
Any insight?

This is the message that's being sent when emails to me get bounced back:

Why are emails making copies after moving to subfolder?

Hi guys - I've always been able to solve issues on my own reading through all of your posts but this one has me thrown for a loop. I installed Mavericks yesterday and after doing so, changed my two Gmail-based email accounts from Exchange to Gmail (IMAP). After doing so, everything seemed fine until I received a new email and as I always do, would move it to a subfolder I had created on Mail (as well as in Gmail). In the past, I would drag it to the subfolder from the Inbox and that was that. But now, I'll drag the email to the subfolder, it disappears from my Inbox but a minute later, reappears as well as a copy in the subfolder I moved it to.
I tried to revert to the Exchange based email to see if that would fix it, but to no avail. I have noticed if I delete the email, it will go to the Trash (disappearing from the Inbox), then dragging it from the Trash into the subfolder and it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks for any advice...

You can recover them from the backup you have on Time Machine.
If you don't have a backup:There are some third party utilities that might be able to recover the files if you didn't write new data over them. Here's one: Mac Data Recovery to Recover Data on Mac OSX – Stellar Phoenix
How to avoid this in the future:backup anything you don't want to lose.

Why are Email attachments not coming through to me from senders??

Emails are being received and the sender says there is an attachment but no attachment can be seen.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Forms - Why are fields blank and how to add a signature field

I created forms using FormsCentral and saved the PDF and I'm not collecting responses. I have clients fill out the form and email back to me. Some forms come back blank, making me think the person didn't fill out or save the form correctly, but when you put the cursor in the field you can see the information, so the form is totally useless. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening? I read online about turning off the "Highlight Color" in the Form Preferences but this doesn't work.
The second question is about adding a signature field to a form created using FormsCentral. I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Thanks,
Eileen

FormsCentral doesn't support digital signatures. You can add digital signature fields using Acrobat, but you'll have to collect the forms outside of FormsCentral.
The blank field problem is most likely due to people using Preview on a Mac to fill-in and save the form. Preview corrupts PDF forms and other types of PDFs in a number of ways and should be avoided. What you can do with such forms though is to open them in Acrobat, export the form data to an FDF or XFDF file, open a blank form, and import the form data you just exported, and save. If you exported the submission-enabled PDF form from FormsCenrtral, you will have to remove the usage rights in order to import/export the form data. You do this in Acrobat by selecting: File > Save A Copy

Why are emails I deleted from another computer still showing up in my iPad inboxes.

This is just plain annoying. Every time I pick up my iPad, I have to delete dozens of emails I already deleted from my mailboxes (I have multiple accounts ... yahoo gmail hotmail etc.) I looked for a setting that would fix this, but nothing I'm finding seems to resolve this particular issue. How can I sync my iPad email accounts so they are current, and don't require me to delete messages I already deleted from my phone or work laptop or home desktop?

What you're describing occurs when your email provider uses POP rather than IMAP as your email protocol. Are you familiar with the difference? Most webmail providers use IMAP, which is set up for syncing across multiple devices, just the way you want. It sounds as if one or more of your providers is still using POP, the older standard.
I personally like POP, since it lets me choose whether to deal with emails on my iPad or defer them until I'm next on my Mac, but it's a personal preference. Switch to IMAP-only email, and you should be all set.

Why are emails in public folders being marked as read when viewed in the viewing pane when I have disabled this in settings

I am using office 2010 on a windows 7 PC. In outlook I have changed the settings for the reading pane so that emails are not marked as read unless I actually open them. This is working for emails in my inbox and outbox but not for emails in public
folders. Emails in public folders are marked as read as soon as I click on them. Do public folders have a different setting for marking email as read in the reading pane?
It is important for me that emails in the public folders are not marked as read when i click on them as I need to read through hundreds of project emails in these folders and need to be able to distinguish between emails I have read and actioned
and emails I have just clicked on while searching for an email I need. This folder serves as an archive for my emails so i cant delete them once I have read them. I also don't have permission to label them or create tasks from them.

Hi,
I tested in my lab, it worked for public folders. My Outlook version is Outlook 2013.
Please open Outlook in safe mode to check result.
If possible, please check if this issue persists from a different client server.
Best regards,

Why are emails downloaded with the subject and from address different from what is actually in the email?

The subject and from address listed in the message pane are totally different from what is in the actual email, viewed either in the preview pane or when the email is opened. The emails are correct when viewed online. For example:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email C
After downloading to Thunderbird:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email A *** Subject and Sender for C but is actually email A
This started happening within the past month and appears to be random. Sometimes everything is correct. But more often there are a few that exhibit the above behavior. I have multiple email address downloading from the same domain but this problem seems to occur ostly with my main email account.

Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder

Why are emails getting stuck in outbox and picture msgs not sending??

I just traded my iphone 4s and got an iphone5.
I have my work email (exchange) and my gmail account set up on my phone. As soon as I updated to IOS 6, I started to have these problems:
When I send emails out, they get stuck in my outbox.
When sending picture msgs, they just stay in sending status.
A problem with Internet links not opening on safari.
I did everything that you can think of, restarted the phone, reset network settings, restored to factory settings and setup as NEW iphone, checked all email and exchange settings (all are correct) and they way they worked on my 4S, deleted my exchange profile on the work server.
I did all that you can think of and nothing was a permanent fix.
Apple Geniuses, please help us get this resolved. Other co-works are having the same problems.

Are you still using iOS 7.0.3 as stated in your profile? if so, update to 7.1. If already on 7.1:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and re-enter your iCloud account.
