My e-mails do not load in Mail properly - text appears as "block letters"

Can anyone tell me why this may be happening? I have attached a screen shot of an e-mail from HuffPost - but it happens with quite a number of other e-mails.

I'm having the same problem - did you find a solution?

    Under Window in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
    If it's red, this usually means it's missing the password.
    For Incoming messages, set in the account window, under Account Information tab.
    For Outgoing (SMTP) messages, follow these steps:
    EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
    In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
    Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
    Under Advanced Tab:
    Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
    Verify if your server require SSL.
    User Name. Enter full email address  eg.  [email protected]
    Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password  more info)
    Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
    Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?

  • Mac mail will not load emails anymore, just keeps "Loading..."

    Hello,
    For some reason, mac mail will not load previous emails. It is only one account, when I click on that mailbox, it just keeps "Loading" and never retreives emails. The acounts are fine. It was fine 5 minutes ago, now it is not. This has happened once in the past and it was never resolved. I recreated the account, and lost all the emails.
    Please help!
    Thank you,
    Greg

    I just discovered I was a life saver, thanks for the kudos everyone.
    Why? It's not your fault. It's because how Apple Mail stores mail, it simply is not robust enough.
    A robust program assumes that it may crash at any moment while writing to any of its files, and that there will be undiscovered, rarely occurring bugs that will have similar effect. The damage it does needs to be detected later and then repaired automatically or degraded gracefully so only one mail is lost, and not all of them.
    Evidently, Apple fails to do so or didn't do a thorough job.
    For mail this is really urgent, because a mail program does many things simultaneously which increases the chance that things go wrong once in a while, and on top email comes from the wild world outside and can contain many types of junk that need to be contained. Mail server delivery data muck, deliberate attempts to hack your mailbox by mail, phishing attempts, html newsletters made by Neanderthalers or marketeers, other buggy mail programs, poorly made phising mails, regular spam, you name it.
    So there are a lot of possible 'runaway cars' that may dent another in the parking lot, but this should never cause an entire parking lot building to tilt so all the cars roll to one side of the floor and while still there, can't open the doors anymore.
    Computer science made many solutions for this the past 3 decades and it isn't even that hard to do, many file formats have auto-recovery features.
    For example: You may have seen a movie on TV or internet, or skype conversation that goes into "weird blocks" a few seconds and then go back to normal. That's damaged data and auto-recovery of the data format kicking in to fix it or at least reduce the damage. Without it, you'd be looking at digital snow for the rest of the show. Apple does the latter to your mail.
    In modern databases this is done all the time, because a company can't afford to lose all of its financial data because 1 record went bad or there once was a power outage. For a user, losing his/her mail can be just as catastrophic. If they can, Apple can. Come on.
    But that answer won't help ya, unless someone at Apple actually READS these threads and feels intense SHAME that they did not listen to that inner voice saying: hmm it looks spiffy now but we really gotta work on the internals a bit more. No, data is not sexy. Yes, it's boring. But it's necessary. Remember Steve's step father taught his son that the backside of a drawer should also be made neatly. Dad was right folks.
    Since this mail I'm going into my 3rd combat with Mocrosoft Exchange which is another factor that, while it should be better than regular mail, also is another rogue runaway car that dents the fragile internal file structure of Apple Mail.
    Yours truly, an Apple fanboy.

  • My mail will not load on any of my devices! what do i do

    my mail will not load on any of my devices! what do i do???????????

    The only way your child could have installed an app from the App Store is that he or she has access to your Apple ID and your administrator account. Give the child his own standard user account, and change the passwords.
    To delete the downloaded app, drag it to the Trash. You may be prompted for your password.

  • I updated iphone4 to ios 6. My e-mail does not load. It says "checking mail". how do i fix this?

    I updated my phone software in iphone4 to the ios6 operating system. My e-mail will not load on my phone. At the bottom it says "checking mail" and it stays like that. Then i get a message saying it "could not connect to yahoo server". The yahoo server is not down, i can access my e-mail on my work computer. How do i fix this issue on my phone?

    Try completely turning off your phone and then turn it back on. Fixed the problem for me.

  • Intermittent mail body not loading, just headers

    Recently I started having trouble with the body of messages not loading. Mail will work fine, then all of a sudden it will not load messages body. It doesn't matter if it is mail already on the computer or starting a new message. If it is acting like this and I start a new message, there will be no blinking curser in the body. No access at all to the body, only the Subject, To, From, Etc. but not the body.
    In all cases it is rectified if I Quit Mail and when I relaunch Mail it works fine for hours more. Sometimes it happens each day, sometimes every few days and other times a few times per day. No discernible pattern.
    All input is greatly appreciated.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Since it's intermittent, have you run the Apple Hardware Test CD?
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

    iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

    Hi horstp,
    Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Mail is not downloading e-mails from the server

    Mail is not downloading e-mail from the yahoo server.  However, I am able to send e-mails out

    My problem with mail concerns gmail and not Yahoo.  But about once a day I see an email come in on my iPhone or iPad and then I wait for it to come in on my MBP, running Mavericks 10.9.2 with all the updates current.  It never does come in.  I find that by exiting from Mail and then in a few seconds opening it again that the missing mail will come in.  Also, I found that by taking the gmail server off line and then right back on line that the missing email will come it.
    I like to reply to my email from the MBP so that I have a record of the sent files.  Sending from the IOS devices doesn't let the MBP know about the sent file.
    This never happens under IOS 7.1 on my iPhone and iPad.  So I suspect it is a problem with Mavericks.
    I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems with this.   Is this a problem with Mavericks or with gmail?

    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

    Under what circumstances does mail "not leave the mails on the server"?
    If you mean that you delete them (or move them out of the inbox) on one device and then find them not in the inbox on the server when you look from another device, that's how IMAP is supposed to work. (Note that the deletion or moving might be the result of rules you have set up in Mail.)
    If you mean something else, please explain your issue in more detail.

    I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub.  The file will not load.  Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

    You can't fix it.  iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices.  i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content.  Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
    Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here.  If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.
