Received email but it has no content

So, I checked my email today, got some new mail in on a couple of different accounts. I click on the email and there is no content. Nothing. I check the other account, same thing, but it is only in a few recent emails. I check the mail via webmail and I can see the content in the body of the email, so I know it is there.
I'm using Mac Mail on a 15" Mac Book Pro with the latest software updates 10.6.4 my problem was happening before the update.
What gives? Any ideas?

I actually used Mail.app with squirrel webmail before. It wasn't the best experience, but it worked fine.
If emails coming in after the ones that were "wiped" show up normally, then I am inclined to think that it was just some bad save or quasi-corrupt mail files on your local storage, and you shouldn't have much to worry about.
Firstly - and I don't put much hope into this - you could try right-clicking on the mailbox, and click "Synchronize ``name of account``". This should mirror the local and online accounts.
If that doesn't work, and you really want to confirm that it was a freak-event, you could go the extreme way (which depends on how much email you actually have): you could backup the inboxes/mailboxes with the defective emails (right click on mailbox in left sidebar, click "Archive Mailbox..."), remove the account from Mail Preferences, re-add it again with your settings, and let Mail.app re-download all your email. If this was just some random error, your defective mail messages should download fine this time.
(I recognize that this process could be very messy, and it really depends on how much local work you've put into your mailboxes and how much work you're willing to put into fixing the problem.)
Also, just as proper procedure, you should make sure that you have the most updated POP3/IMAP settings for connecting to your servers (such as port numbers etc... from a sys admin if you have one).
Hopefully any of this helps. Let me know!

  • My Mac is not receiving emails, but my iPhone receives emails. How can I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I recently tried to send a large file through the iCloud email drop. The email stayed in my outbox for a day and made my email app extremely slow. The email never sent, so I deleted the email from my outbox and restarted the program. Now, my email is no longer receiving any emails. The same email account on my iPhone receives emails, but my Mac email program will not receive emails. I've restarted the program and the Mac, but nothing has resolved the problem. Any suggestions???

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • User can receive email but cannot send

    Hi,
    I'm migrating a domain in an organization to another new domain. Now, we are migrating the workstations to the new domain. Users are not migrated, they are completely new in the new domain.
    So, the problem is that we have a workstation in the new domain and the user from new domain logged on on this machine. The user has successfully configured is old exchange account in Outlook (Exchange server is still in the old domain) and can receive email,
    but cannot send. 
    Can someone help please to find what is wrong?

    Hi Silva,
    Thank you for your question.
    Is there NDR when you send email?
    Which way outlook connect Exchange 2013?
    Where is email which was sent? “sent item” or “Draft”?
    Which user mailbox use when you configure profile? New domain user or old domain user?
    We could create a trust between new domain and old domain:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779840(WS.10).aspx
    We could ping old domain successfully on the new domain.
    If we have created mailbox for new domain user on old exchange, we could refer to the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998031(v=exchg.150).aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396
    In addition, we suggest we migrate user and Exchange to new domain as soon as possible.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

    Hi,
    I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured. 
    Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
    smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
    SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
    The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
    Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
    Regards
    Faisal

    POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol. 
    Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge. 
    Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
    No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
    I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

  • I can receive emails but can't send them. Auto set up created mail account separate from account migrated from a PC. Migrated account receives but doesn't send; other account didn't work

    Phoned internet provider, TPG & talked through resetting passwords then the migrated email temporarily allowed emails to send, then quit again, but still receives emails.
    Why will my Mac receive emails but not send them? The mails settings for POP & SMTP are same.
    Closed the original mail account on the PC but didn't help - had to reopen it to send this email.
    Detail from Mail Connection Doctor on my MacBook Pro, under WROTE says:
    VIDL 437,
    then later quits.
    Is this relevant? Does this mean anything?

    Hi, i have swapped my isp to BT , ever since this i can receive emails but am unable to send , BT have to me this is a apple email app setting that may
    need changing any help ou there please .
    Many thanks

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    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.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Whilst travelling we have plugged in an optus wireless broadband, we can receive emails but not send them, we normally use an adsl broadband connection

    Hello Carol.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you need to provide more information. Firefox is not an email client. You may be having a problem with the email client you use, or with the site you are using to handle emails...

  • I can receive emails but cannot send Why?

    I am a new user of ipad2 . I have finished setup and can receive emails but cannot send what do I need to change

    Go to Settings > Mail, contacts, Calendars > your mail account > and see what it shows for Outgoing Mail Server.  Does it have a name for the SMTP server such as outgoing.isp name.net?  If you tap that outgoing server, go to the page that has Outgoing Mail Server and lists the server name, user name, password...is there a password indicated, does it say Use SSL, and does it give a Port number?

  • My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
