Reply Emails will not load

The following problem has appeared on my system in the last few days.
Symptoms:
I receive an email that has been sent to a group of people, all on the main recipients list as opposed to cc's or bcc's. This first email behaves perfectly.
Then one of the addressees replies to the same group. My copy of the reply email will not load in mail.app. Instead I get a spinning gear wheel (with a "loading..." message) that changes to a spinning beach ball and "mail" just hangs - requiring a forced quit to get the application working again.
At first I thought that the response email must have contained something that was contaminating the process but I've had the symtoms repeated for several emails that were distributed to different groups. Its always the same, the first email behaves as expected but the responses will not load.
These emails sent within groups have always behaved perfectly in the past so the suspicion is that there is something amiss in my system.
The first culprit email came from my website. I looked at the guilty email on the server and it looked normal.
To test the path I forwarded one of the emails that was causing a problem to my isp email(comcast) and tried to download it. I got the same problem, it will not load when it gets on my system.
What I've Tried to Resolve it:
I searched the discussions and found a suggestion to rebuild permissions and the trash the mail cache in the library. I followed the instructions but it had no effect.
One Additional Note:
I upgraded to 10.5.6 and I know that this problem was not present before the upgrade.
Any suggestions as to the cause of the problem and rectifications would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook

suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook. got err messages requesting my pasword and added password and nothing has loaded.

Your signature says you are using 10.5.6 - is this correct. Leopard is not compliant with iCloud's requirements.
You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may also need to change your pasasword if it's not compliant with Apple's requirements - at least 8 characters, of which at least one must be a numeeral and one a capital letter.

My icloud email will not load

Hi!
My icloud email will not load.
     On any computer, Mac or PC at the icloud.com it will not load and sends an error message to apple.
     On my Mac it states that my password or email address is incorrect. This is not true as I have changed it and all other apple accounts work.
     On my iPhone it states my password is incorrect--it is not, again I have checked and re-entered it numerous times.
I have checked and done all the troubleshooting I can find.
I have checked all the communities and it seems some others are experiencing this same problem.
I have called apple support and (of course) they want me to pay for someone to help me--which I would do if this was an issue with my hardware or software.
I have an appointment today with the genius bar at my local store.
I believe this is an apple icloud server issue.
I would not be posting if this had not been happening since Christmas day. It has been over a week since I have been able to retrieve my email.
If anyone can help that would be wonderful, but please do not refer me to the troubleshooting pages as I have researched them extensively.
Thank you!

This same thing started for me today as well: None of my devices (iMac, MacBook 2 iPhones, iPad, 2 Apple TV's) which require Apple ID to work for mail, etc., would work this morning. I kept getting a message that my password or email address was incorrect. I was also notified my Apple ID password had "a security problem" and needed to be changed.
I was reluctant to change the password with my Apple ID, since I have been using it for nearly ten years, and will clearly never forget it. However, this old password only has six characters, all lower case. Apple now seems to want a password with at least eight characters, one of which is capitalized, etc. I went ahead and changed to a new 2012-model password, following Apple's guidelines, and voila, once I changed to that password on all of my devices they all work as they should!
What the heck? I guess I didn't have anything better to do between 10:00 and 11:00 am today anyway. While this seems like the right fix, I would have preferred it if Apple had sent out an advance notification that they are requiring more rigorous passwords, rather than just rejecting our old ones as a New Year's present. It would have saved some head scratching.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Content of old emails will not load after Yosemite upgrade

I recently installed Yosemite. All my old emails are still there, listed under the 'Sort by date' column, with sender, subject and the first few words showing. but the content will not load. New emails are downloading and content showing fine. I have played around with all the settings in Mail Preferences Viewing — download remote content etc — but nothing seems to work. I have also run "Verify Permissions", with no luck. If I search for something through the Finder, and what I am searching for appears in an email, I can pull up the email that way and all the content loads fine. So the content is all there. It is just not showing up through Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Check the Ask before closing setting in the Terminal preferences dialog.

My excite email will not load with last upgrades of firefox & microsoft

the feald that said my kaspersky fire wall was incompatable with new curant version of firefox was pushed by accedent now email only loads to 67 % then locks up [email protected] is my email page ido not how to do thease type of things

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
3. If needed, remove your live.com cookies in this dialog (save any work-in-progress first)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Anyone know why Yahoo emails will not load? Emails, including those I could previously access are blank. No problem with seeing them when using another browser

Yahoo mail--can access inbox but cannot access individual emails. Have tried disabling all add-ons, but there is no difference. Emails are visible using another browser.

I am modifying the correct httpd.conf file on the server, it just doesn't seem to work. - If I put the rewrite rules in the <Directory /> the rewrite works but it adds /Library/WebServer/Documents to the URL.
I also tried putting the rewrite rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> but that did not work either.
mod_rewrite is enabled and running on the server.
I will post the rewrite rules again in the code brackets. Sorry for the long post. - If some one can try them out on their Leopard Server to see if they can get them to work, it would be much appreciated. Again, these work on my Leopard Client but I can't get them to work on Server.
-- The httpd.conf file posted above is just the default conf file found in /private/etc/apache2/

Just got a new iphone last night but my comcast email will not load.

I spoke with verizon, comcast, apple, comcast again. No one seems to be able to fix the problem. It's not the phone, apple says it's the comcast setup, but comcast says the setup is correct.....help! Anyone experience this problem that could help me???
Thank you!

To be clearer, i just got a new phone and have reset my iCloud password three times on my PC but it is not taking on my phone.

Pre will not load emails (IMAP) unless I restart the phone..everyday!

When I bought the phone back in June, I set up my personal email as IMAP...it worked fine for months. Within the last two months or so my emails will not load all the time, now I am at a point of restarting everyday to get my emails synced. And maybe it will sync twice a day regardless of how many times I check for them.
Gmail account seems to work fine so I know it is a setting in IMAP that I need to change, but why now? Don't understand!

Have you tried removing that IMAP account and adding back. This clears many issues up.

The message cannot be seen on incoming emails. I can only view the message if I click on reply. Also any links attached to email will not open. I have tried everything to solve the problem but not able to.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : 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.
If that doesn't work 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.

When I try to email a photo as an attachment the iphoto file will not load

When I try to email a photo as an attachment the file will not load?

Open iPhoto, and then go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar). Check these two things:
1. Under the "General" tab, make sure you have set "Email photos using" to "iPhoto".
2. Under the "Accounts" tab, be sure your email account information is set correctly.

Ipad will not load new email

ipad will not load any new emails. i have one through outlook and one gmail. neither will load anything new.

Do you have a wifi or 3 g connection?
Did it used to work? What does the mail app do when you open it? Is there the little circle at the bottom, checking for new mail.
Have you checked the accounts from safari, or a computer, to see if it is an ISP problem?

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.
