Receiving blank emails dated 1969

I have two iPads and two Macs, but one of my iPads has started to receive emails showing a send date of 1969. These emails have no content and no subject line, and tend to arrive in groups of around six messages. Has anyone else experienced this anomaly

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Outlook 2010 receive blank email content

Hi,
Recently, our company has upgraded the computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 and the Office 2000/Office 2003 to Office 2010. Some of the users start to receive the emails with subject and from/to email address but without email content.
Those upgraded Office 2010 with English and Traditional Chinese version. Our internal programs would send out a list of HTML format emails to users everyday. Those users would receive blank email randomly. For the users who still haven't upgraded machine,
all the emails are still working normally.
Our computers are working on a domain, but we didn't use any exchange server.
I did try to change the Color of the font and change to safe mode to open, but the problem still the same.
For example, the same email to user A and user B. User A can receive the email normally, but User B got the blank content email. However, User A and B also setup an auto-forward to Gmail mail account. Both users also can got the email normally from the
Gmail accounts. I have tried to "Rely" or "Forward" that blank email, also no content display. And I did try "View Source" or "View in Browser" for that email, it is blank as well.
It is very strange that as the blank emails are received very random. For example, User A will receive 9 mails per day. The blank email will occur in any of these 9 mails in any days in a week. Monday, you can receive the normal email for Mail 1, and you
may receive a blank Mail 1 on Tuesday and then Wednesday, you will receive the normal Mail 1 again.
Our company is using OfficeScan, however, we haven't enabled the "Mail Scan" feature. Some of our new machines have installed AV software, I have disabled the mail scanning feature already. However, we found that the Wins7 (ENG) - Microsoft Office
Home and Business 2010 (ENG) with AV software, still can receive the normal without problem.
Our Finding:
OS Version
Office Version
Bank Email Randomly
Wins7 (ENG)
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 (ENG)
No
Wins7 (CHI)
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 (CHI)

Any ideas?

If I understand correctly, this behavior only happen when user receive the emails from Outlook, and if we try to view the email from the web access, the emails will be displayed as expected?
Based on my research, this behavior - receiving blank emails - is mainly caused by the Anti-virus.
In my experience, disable or turn off the Anti-vitus, sometimes won't work as expected. (Sometimes we even need to remove them.)
My suggestion is, find one of the affected machine, run Windows in
clean boot mode - this will exclude 3rd-party services when starting Windows - for a period of time, and check if this behavior will still occur.

Thx for your reply.
You mean the OfficeScan will cause this problem. As I know some of the machines have installed AVG as well, but some people couldn't receive the correct email, some did.
If it is really related to anti-virus software, what should I do to keep the anti-virus software as our company is required to install and also solve the blank email issue?

Receiving blank emails

I have an iPad 1 (4.2.1) which I've used for about a year--no problems of any type. Starting yesterday, the body of each email message is blank. No button at the bottom to "load rest of message," can't find anything in Settings which applies. The message IS there, because if I hit Reply, the incoming message appears, but then disappears again when I cancel the reply. Yesterday, some of my old emails were visible, some were not. Today, none are visible. What the heck is going on??? Do you think I might have hit some button by accident? I can't imagine where, because until this happened. I thought maybe there were too many emails stored, so I deleted a bunch of them--didn't make any difference. Any ideas?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : 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.
Also do 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 do I get emails dated 1969

Every few weeks I will get a series of incoming emails that I has gotten and read days ago. Same ones keep coming in. I suspect it as something to do with iCloud. Also some of the messages say they are from 1969 or other ridiculous dates. It will do this for a few days then quit for a month. I never change any settings. They just appear. Any ideas what is going on? Mine is an iPad running 2 latest iOS This also happens on my iPhone 5

Never seen this problem before. But since you have Siri on your iPhone, ask Siri.

IPhone Receiving BLANK SMSs. They are dated 1 Jan 1970/9.

I used to have the 2G iPhone and I often received blank SMS dated 1 Jan 1970 or 31 Dec 1969.
Of course, like anyone else would, I naturally assumed this was a long gone family member trying to reach me from the other side.
Time went on and I upgraded with a new sim and a 3G iPhone.
To cut a long story short, I still receive BLANK SMSs.
I see one other post on this topic but that guy seems to know that his SMSs come from a different network. I do not have that issue.
Strange though that as it is, I constantly receive these, at least one a week and have done now for over a year.
Anyone know why this might be?

I'll check with them, but like Ive said this has been across two sim cards and two different iphones. And no one else I know has had this problem.
I sthere anyway for me to add a screen shot in here to show everyone?

Receiveing blank reply emails on MS exchange

I receive blank emails replies from other users on our MS exchange server. An example being... I send an email to John. John replies and the message I receive is blank - no text or attachments.
Using Mail with MS Exchange server 2007. OS 10.8.1 on my MBA.
Any ideas?

Seemed to have solved this using the REBUILD command under "Mailbox" menu heading.

Can message filters cause messages with blank subject and 1969 dates

I have done many things to try to trace why I get messages with blank subjects and 1969 dates.
downloaded TB
created all new folders
moved only persdict and msfFilterRules to the new profile.
At this try
set the option NOT to download messages on startup
went off line and compacted all folders.
emptied the inbox and all subfolders.
Exited TB.
deleted all files under pop.verizon.net except msgFilters rules.
Deleted all msf files for local folders in my profile.
opened TB.
a few times
--With Firefox went to verizon webmail and moved a few messages to the Verizon inbox.
--moved to TB window
-- Clicked <get messages>
-- still received blank messages with 1969 dates
-- deleted those messages
-- emptied trash
went to the filter rules and unclicked all filters that send files to local folders
left 2 rules in place
(1) if a sender was in my address list send the message to inbox folder called "Known sender"
(2) if the subject was NOT a weird string like "&*%$@!+=?><" send the message to inbox folder called "Suspicious" This filter is because there is not an ELSE function in TB it is extremely unlikely that a message would have such a subject.
[These two filters should move all messages except junk to the two folders.]
I then tried the above procedure of going to Verizon, moving messages to Verizon Inbox, etc. a few times.
I did NOT get the messages with blank subject and 1969 date!!
Questions:
(1) Is this just a fluke?
(2) From understanding the internals of TB is it reasonable that some now-unchecked message filter(s) had caused there to be the oddball messages?
(3) if It is a filter rule, how can I find out which one it is?

I looked though all the condition specification options I do not see how using header info in a condition specification would '''change '''the header info.
I looked at the possible actions on filters.
I only see "tag" and "Star" as ones that might change header info.
However, I found out that when I unchecked the first 17 of 19 filters and just had the two I explained above I would sometimes get a message with the 1969 date.
Since then I deleted those two rules and made new versions and moved them to the bottom where the earlier versions had been. I have not had the 1969 messages since!!
I have put a new filter at the top of the list that checks whether the date is before 1/1/971. If teh date is before 1/1/1971 the filter tags the message as important and moves it into the inbox folder named "Suspicious".
I have not seen any 1969 messages since then.
Since the problem was intermittent and because I was not able to create conditions whereby The 1969 dates would or would not occur, the problem may not be 'fixed'. I'll watch it for a while
Meanwhile, I'll continue to manually go though the webmail on Verizon and as a test only download mail that I do not want to save for the long term. Messages I want to keep I'll move messages I want to keep for the long term into foldrs on Verizon. '''If '''after a while, I do not get any more of the 1969 messages, I'll move messages I want to keep into the Verizon inbox and download them into TB

Incoming Blank Emails

I have recently started receiving blank emails (no subject, no text and no reply address).
Does anyone know what these are? I tried running a Spyware program but it just found loads of cookies and I am still getting these emails coming in - more than 1/2 dozen in a day.

Blank email either in outlook (2007 / 2013) or OWA

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with some clients and Exchange server 2013.
I'll try to explain it in the best way possible and I apologize for my english too.
I have installed Exchange Server 2013 , some clients are using Outlook 2013 , some OUtlook 2007 (with all service packs isntalled) and some OWA (via IE, Firefox or Chrome, the problem is on all of them).
The same email is received by someone as usual, and by someone with blank body : in both cases , the attachments are displayed , but the text of the email isn't.
On Exchange server there's no antivirus, no antispam installed, some clients working have avg installed, some clients that aren't working have avg installed too. AVG Plugin for Outlook is disabled.
The problem is on OWA too. I've thought it could be an issue due to the ssl certificate (Outlook 2007 needs a valid certificate to work properly) so I've changed it. Since the change I don't receive blank email on a client, but still don't read older
emails that had blank body .
I don't know where else I have to look , but I need absoluterly to retrieve that emails that I cannot read.
How can I solve that?
Thank you
Luciana

Hi Luciana,
According to your description, the issue happens to some users instead of all users. There is no antivirus, no antispam installed in Server side. The blank email in OWA should be firstly received by Outlook client. The issue may be caused
by any third-party programs from client side in user local machine.
Please close Outlook and only send/receive test messages in OWA to check whether the issue persists. If there is no issue when only using OWA to send/receive messages, please restart the problematic user's Outlook client in safe mode and check whether the
issue continues.
Regards,
Winnie Liang

[SOLVED]Thunderbird 12.0.1 loading BLANK but dated emails when no MAIL

Since updating to Thunderbird 12.0 -- and checking mail on my unix spool mail (e.g. /var/spool/mail/) -- I started getting a blank email with the date and time of 12/31/1969 7:00 pm --- if there is no mail.
(the message is blank, the subject is blank).
If there *IS* mail, the blank mail is not received.

I don't have a solution, but I would suggest you try a more descriptive title for your post. That way someone who has experienced your problem will see the issue rather than having to guess what it is. Like I did...

I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Emailed form received blank

Our clients are filling out a form with an email button and also a save button when they need to access our services. When they save the form, it is saved in their local drive with all the data they entered. When they email the form to our service desk email mail box, the form is received blank. Why is this happening? We have been using the same form for 3 months without any problems up until a few days ago.

Hi,
1. The users are using Windows XP.
2. Yes, Extended Reader Rights was applied on the form.
3. The form was revised in July and is posted on our internal web page for users to access.
Thank you for getting back to me.

HT3228 I have one of the origin iPads. Suddenly when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

I have one of the original iPads. Suddenly (from yesterday) when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

Try this.
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.

Is anyone getting multiple blank emails with December 31, 1969 in their mailbox? I am using hotmail.

CLose the mail app completely and reset your iPad. No data will be lost.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Blank Emails with Attachments from Apple Mail if received into Gmail IMAP.

Hi
I have noticed that if I receive an email with an attachment from someone using Apple Mail to my Gmail IMAP account (in Apple Mail) the body of the text is blank. I get the attachment but the only way to read the body of the email is to show the Raw Source. Has anyone else had the same problem and does anyone have a solution?

Not me and I use gmail's IMAP service with Apple Mail frequently. You're probably better off posting this question on google's gmail forum which you can get to via the help section on the gmail.com web site.
