Mail won't display the message content

I'm using Mail 3.0 in Leopard and using it to check three mail accounts: .Mac, Comcast, and GMail. My installation of Leopard is an upgrade from OS X 10.4.10. Everything has been working brilliantly until yesterday. Mail now shows there are new emails and displays the list of all messages but clicking on a message to read it's contents displays nothing. The preview window is blank. Double clicking the message shows a blank windows.
Between yesterday and today I did nothing that should have altered Mail's settings. Has this happened to anyone? Any ideas of what to do to resolve the problem? Could SpamSieve or GrowlMail be the culprit in this (even though they've been there since day one)?

Same problem here. Some (few) email bodies are not shown. When I hit reply, body is empty too.
Here are the last part of the headers of one of those messages

My phone tells me I have a message, but then won't display the message?

I recently purchased a Droid Mini. Whenever the phone is locked and I get a message, the phone lights up and tells me I have a message, but when I unlock the phone the message is not displayed.
Messages that are delivered while the phone is unlocked display, no problem. Help?

I had the same problem, until I realized that certain messages (including multi receipient messages) would not appear until I turned on mobile data. I normally keep mobile data turned off, since I have wifi at home, and several other places I visit. If I get the notification that there are messages and I don't see them, I simply turn on mobile data and they appear. I hope this is of benefit to you.

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

Mail won't display the trash can on the left hand window pane

Hello:
I have just re-formatted an older Mac Mini using the version of Panther that was bundled with the machine.
Yesterday, Mail was launched, the account was re-created and the user's email came in without a problem.
Today, she noticed that there is no trash can icon in the left hand window pane. Can anyone tell me how to get this icon in plain view or re-install if it's disappeared?
The user tried making a folder called "Trash" but it yielded no results.

Is this an IMAP or POP3 account?
Have her try this...
Right click or Control+click on an eMail she wants in the Trash, go down to Move to... then select Trash which there may be 2 of... see if that creates it.

TS3899 Tried all the tips on line. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it gives me this message, "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed" Any help in how to resolve would be appreciated

I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
Message is " A copy has been placed in your
Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
Address is fine etc.

How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

Iphone error yahoo mail- sending the message content to the server failed

yesterday i changed my yahoo password (because my yahoo email acct started spamming all of my email contacts) and i also changed password on my iphone 4s settings but now cant send emails (can get them just fine)
i get the error "sending the message content to the server failed" and the email gets stuck in the outbox.
i have deleted the yahoo acct multiple times, rebooted the phone and restored network settings, added other yahoo smtp.mail.yahoo.com server, went to the genius bar for an hour, but no luck. tried a new iphone at apple store and added my yahoo account, but still had the same error from their phone.
they said contact yahoo- currently awaiting that reply.
my gmail acct sends emais fine thru iphone.
any help appreciated

hi - i posted this in another thread but meant to post it here - oops - i've been following this thread and others for days now - i also have been having safari/email 'sending message content to server failed'/flash 10 plugin problems since latest security/java/qt software update - here's what i recommend and what i'll be doing from now on - before i install any updates via software update i'll be saving the download/installers to a folder as suggested in another topic thread - next i'll be disconnecting my router - and connecting the modem directly to the computer - bypassing the router - once i'm sure configurations/internet/mail are functioning correctly i'll connect the router - all this time my problems were with my router port settings - not safari or flash 10 plugin or mail app - go figure - hope this helps - peace!

Mail: 'Sending the message content to the server failed'

My wife has a MacBook Pro and I have an iMac, both using Tiger and both using Mac Mail with Gmail accounts. We frequently get errors when sending mail - mail cannot send so it puts the messege indefinately in my Outbox. We both recieve mail just fine.
The exact error is:
'This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed.'
I tried changing my port 25 to 587 and it did not seem to work. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Sending the message content to the server failed. Attachment.

So I've been a Eudora user for more than a decade and just thought I'd try Mail and have been using it for about a month. This evening I was in the midst of writing messages and about halfway through, Mail would no longer send outgoing messages that contain attachments (I had sent messages earlier in the evening with attachements). I just get a response that says, "Sending the message content to the server failed." I have no problem sending messages that don't have an attachment.
I have two separate email accounts that I use. For both I use my own domain as the smtp server which is hosted through aplushosting.com. It's smtp.riversandcreeks.com. Server port is set to 25 and authentication is set to none. Everything has worked fine until this evening (and it literally stopped halfway through my evening email session so I'm sure this is not related to a system upgrade or other software changes).
I have spent about two hours trying all different settings. I tried changing authentication, screwed around with Network settings, and did just about anything I could think of (or read about trying after doing several searches on this board). I also trashed the Outbox in my Library and restarted the machine.
In one of the posts where someone seemed to be having the same problem, I saw something about changing the MTU setting but I'm not familiar with what that means and there was not enough background to explain.
My service provider is Comcast (just use them for the high speed connection but not the mail services) and I have one of their older RCA modems hooked into a wireless router that I access via airport.
If anyone has suggestions (or can refer me to other posts on this forum I may have missed please let me know).
Thanks!

However, there are
too many variables in your setup to yet be sure of
the cause.
Agreed. There are too many variables and they only seem to increase...
You describe your modem as older, but you have not
reported the make of router?
It's a Microsoft router (my other half's employer). It has worked fine though for more than two years.
Does it have ethernet
ports, as well as wireless? If so, do you have a
cable to test without wireless?
Yes, tried all that.
Have you tried powering down modem, router and Mac
for a couple of minutes, and then powering back up,
beginning with the modem, and then router?
Yes, tried that too.
MTU may be a factor, but the way things changed in
mid sending, is a little odd, and it is not as
frequently a factor with wireless. Later, I can give
you a link that may help check MTU and wireless, but
I need to research a bit on that.
Do you have a Comcast address, and could you set up
that Comcast account for a test?
That would be another project but I suppose I could call Comcast and figure it out and it may provide some additional insight. However that will not solve the problem as I am highly mobile and am using different hot spots on a daily basis. I was down at the Apple Store and tried on their wireless network (so presumably eliminating all the variables with my home network and isp and on the most Mac-friendly network I can find). Same problem. Messages with attachments won't go out but all other messages will. I do get a slightly different error message there. It says "Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator." I also have a ticket with my hosting service. They say they have not made any recent changes that would result in this problem. Will keep pursuing with them too to see if they have additional ideas.
I'm really perplexed as to what would be distinguishing between mail with attachments vs. those without. As an additional test I fired up Eudora and I can send out attachments fine.

Cannot send email via AOL on iPad2 - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL. She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad. She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version). I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work. The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587. I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. Any advice or other people having this issue? It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail. And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option. Thanks

Interesting. Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website. I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account. Same error. Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result. I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6. AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem. So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone.

A copy has been placed in your outbox. sending the message content to the server failed

all of the sudden my phone wont send emial but will receive them. I have tried everything suggested as far as turn on/off, delete acct and set it up again and nothing seems to be working. Can someone help me please?? the error message i receive is "a copy has been placed in your outbox. sending the message content to the server failed"

I think what happened to me was that my yahoo account was compromised by http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/01/07/yahoo-mail-users-hit-by-widespread-hack ing-xss-exploit-seemingly-to-blame/
Yahoo responds to these reports at the end saying they fixed the issue. I think what that my mobile yahoo mail was somehow blocked by yahoo because that was the device that i logged into right before (the hacker) blasted all of my inbox. That is the only thing I can think of. Exactly 24 hours later I was able to send email. I did figure out that for the iPhone 4gs you can go into your settings and yahoo mail and change the outgoing server from yahoo to gmail if you have gmail set up on your phone and that will allow you to send from yahoo through gmail. I also sent a feedback form to yahoo, that is the only way to contact them, and have heard nothing. There is nothing about this on their support site. So let us know if after 24 hrs you are magically able to send. Yahoo really should use that log in history where they can see that a log in has occurred from a strange IP to block that and warn the user. My log in history right before this happened went: home IP in the US, home IP, homeIP, home IP, Morroco, home IP, home IP, etc. So it is blatantly obvious. My little software company can block IP's, I know yahoo can.
