Sent Email - Missing Text in Body

Recently Mail.app has started displaying some very strange behavior when sending email. My account is Exchange based. About 25% of mails that I send are ending up delivered with no text in the body of the email. There does not appear to be a pattern to which emails end up stripped of message text. When I look in my sent mail the email message is also missing the body text even though I definitely had text originally. Any ideas?

OK, have you installed any fonts lately?
Open Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors, what is the message font & fixed width font sent to, try changing them & see what shows up.
Also, I can't delete an email.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 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.
Trash old Log files.
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 Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Sent emails missing spaces

Hi i am currently using Apple Mail 2.1.3 to send and receive emails. Pretty much since the day i have been using this all my clients have complained that when they receive emails sent from me a lot of the words are joined together and missing spaces. But looking in my sent box they look fine to me.
having tested this a bit further in my office i am the only mac user but my colleagues use a PC and have no problem with sent emails.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
thanks,
Martin

Hi i changed the font to a standard default (arial) but no suck luck still. I can't have plain text emails as company policy to have a coloured footer.
Here is an example of how one of my clients received an email i sent them. Again most of my clients have this problem with me.

Sent emails missing after ios 5 upgrade

After upgrading to ios 5, all sent emails are missing from my iPad 1.

From what I recall, I updated all of my apps first. After attempting to sync the updated apps to my phone, I got a message stating something like "The app Numbers cannot be synced to this device". I made a few more attempts at syncing with the same result, I decided to just update the OS and maybe things will work again. After upgrading to iOS 5, I was able to reinstall numbers, but all of my spreadsheets were gone.
Ruining my phone sounds less than ideal. Any ideas?

SENT emails missing

I have a brand new iPad mini. I'm finding that SENT email do not seem to get saved. At least I can't find them. Im familiar with the iOS 5.x interface on my iPhone and where to look for SENT emails there. Is there something different about iOS 6? Or is this a glitch? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Are you sure it was sent and not in your drafts?
iOS: Unable to send or receive email

Sent email message text missing

I'm having sporadic problems with email. Only a portion of the message gets through. I can't figure out exactly what circumstances create this problem, but it seems to be when I'm replying to or forwarding from another message. It doesn't happen all the time, but it has persisted for weeks.

For me, I get a number of "intermittent" emails, each with a portion of the text, but all those "pre-copies" get moved into the Trash; only the full version is sent. Are you sure you're not viewing one of these "pre-copies"? What email provider do you have? (MobileMe, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.)

Sent email missing attachments

Since I upgraded to OS 10.4.11 I have been having a problem with my emails to others missing the attachments. They swear my attachment is not there although it is marked 'sent' on my side and I get no error or bounce back from any servers. When I go back to make sure I attached the item it is there in my mail. These are small image attachments that should not hit size limits (630k-5mb). This is embarrassing! It seems to be intermittent (mailing to the same person, sometimes they get it sometimes they don't) and only happens when I send to people on PCs from my MAC. Any advice? Is it my problem or their problem?

the next time that this happens, can you get one of these recipients to save the inbound mail message as "raw message source" including full headers and send it to you? then see whether there are some lines of text just beneath the headers that look similar to this:
--Apple-Mail-17--507881185
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=US-ASCII;
format=flowed
This is a test
--Apple-Mail-17--507881185
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: image/tiff;
name=galaxy.tiff;
x-unix-mode=0644;
x-mac-hide-extension=yes
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename=galaxy.tiff
{start bunches of random characters that are the ascii-encoded file attachment}
also, are there any lines in the actual header that indicate that either the sending or the receiving server stripped off the attachment?

IOS 7.0.3 Email missing Text when sending photos by email

Hello,
I have recognized, that when sending a photo by email since ios 7.0 all text which is typed underneath the photo is not displayed by the revicer in his Email.
Also my signatures are missing.
When I check my outbox the Text is displayed correctly under the photos.
Before iOS 7, I had never such problems.
Does anyone else have theese problems?
Thanks for any hints.
Regards
Dominik

That doesn't work for me. First off, to reduce confusion, in iOS 7, it's General > Touch ID & Passcode > Reply with Message: On.
I've had this turned on since I got my 5S, but the Reply with Message function only appears for about a fifth of the phone calls I receive. I rarely see it. In each case, I have good cell reception, and it has nothing to do with who's calling, since I sometimes see it and sometimes don't for the same person. Another iOS 7 bug, I'm sure.

E75 Sent Email Missing

The sent items folder has disappeared from my POP3 email account on my E75. Where will I find my lost emails?
This is not an Exchange account or a gmail/yahoo type account.

Hi there...I hope nobody will be mad for activating this old post.Thing is I have same issue. I understand why it happens but don't know how to deal with it.When ever I have mail on mine provider’s server, all mail boxes (sent, outbox, drafts) are visible on E75.If I download all e-mails from that inbox from the main server I empty it by automatically deleting messages from that inbox after they are received with main personal computer. So it is standard POP mail. What happens with E75 is that it will sync with inbox, it will se there are no messages in the inbox, and it will delete all received mails downloaded on the phone. That is something I don't understand how to change, and how can that be normal behavior? When E75 empties it’s own inbox (inbox folder on the phone) then all the folders like sent items, outbox etc are not visible and I can't reach them. Again when I receive email to inbox on the phone then I see all the folders again with all sent items and other mail folders. How to change behavior of the E75 to act like standard basic e-mail client like Outlook express that downloads messages to phone, but leaves copy on main server like it does now, and keep all downloaded messages in the phone until I delete them? Or how to get access to all mail folders (sent, outbox, drafts) when e75 e-mail inbox is empty?
Thx for any help.

When I print one of my Yahoo emails, the text of the message doesn't wrap, so is cut off,and the side bar with Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc is printed out with the message.

When I print a Yahoo email, the text does not wrap (it used to) so part of the text is cut off. Also, the side bar that list my Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc is printed out along with the email - it didn't used to and because of that, there is not enough room for all of my email. I tried resetting it to Shrink to Fit, but that didn't help; also tried changing the print setting from 100% to 60% but it still doesn't fit on the page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

help I have the same problem. it just started recently. I didn't change anything and all of a sudden my printed emails have the entire sidebar and also does not wrap the text so parts are missing.

With "Download Headers" option checked, opening plain text emails results in cropped body text

When I open raw plain text emails (i.e. not formatted as HTML) I only see the first
255 characters of the email body; all of the remainder is chopped off, and never appears no matter how many times I re-open the email.
I have narrowed this down to my somewhat unusual download preferences in Outlook. They are configured as follows:
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
I know the email text is there in full, because when I point my web browser at OWA, I can see the full body.
If at first I choose Mark to Download and then Process Marked Headers, I can then open the plain text email and see the body in full.
When I open HTML emails I have no problems, regardless of whether the email download was forced or not.
This issue existed on my old Office 2010 installation for XP too. It persists now I have upgraded to Office 2013 on Win 7.
This is not an acknowledged issue yet within the Outlook team (in fact, a possibly related issue was
reported by someone else 3 months ago but suggested to be a font corruption issue, which is incorrect).
It seems like Outlook just forgets to download the full text for plain text emails when opening them. It's repeatable every time, so it doesn't seem like a race condition. (To reproduce: set your Inbox download preferences as above, then send
yourself a plain text email, wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing and then open the new email).
We use a 3rd party provider (Cobweb) for our email service and I believe they are using Exchange 2013.
We use ESET Smart Security Suite and I have tried disabling the scanner for that but see no change in the outcome. I would appreciate if anyone without ESET could try to reproduce these steps for themselves and confirm.
Starting Outlook in Safe Mode does not solve it.
Note: I already asked this
question at the Office Community site and it was suggested I
post on the Exchange Server Outlook Clients forum. The feedback there suggested it to be client related, so now I've been directed to post here!
Thanks,
Marcel

Hi Melon, thanks for your response.
My plain text font is set up as the default, Automatic.
In any case, I can see the first 255 characters of the plain text body, so plain text font colour can be eliminated as a potential problem.
After the 255th character, the body text then stops. There are no "hidden characters". If I shrink the window height to accommodate just what I see, the vertical scrollbar does not appear. This confirms that there are no hidden lines of text
below.
The mail is simply not downloaded from the server correctly. If I drag the mail onto my desktop, then view that file in Programmer's Notepad, I can see that after the position representing the 255th character in the body of the email, there is garbage (control
characters).
If, instead, I first mark the email for downloaded and then click the "process marked headers", wait for it to download and then drag it onto my desktop, by contrast, the body contents look complete and this is reflected in the fact that I can
see the whole email when I open it in Outlook.
This problem has so far affected me on four different PC setups (1xWinXP, 3xWin7) and two versions of Outlook (2010 and 2013). However, Cobweb -- our cloud email provider -- did recently upgrade to Exchange 2013, so that might be an important factor.
I don't think I can remember seeing these plain text issues in the 10 years previous to that upgrade during which I've been using various flavours of Outlook.
I have supplied repro steps in the original report above. Could someone please try these? I have expanded them in full below for simplicity:
To reproduce:
1. Change your download preferences in Outlook. They are configured from the ribbon bar as follows (assuming you are using Outlook in Cached Exchange mode, connecting to Exchange 2013):
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
2. Send yourself a plain text email containing more than 300 characters of text.
3. Wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing.
4. Open the new email.
Result: The email body will be truncated at the 255th character.
Expected: The email body should show all the characters.

I just purchased an Iphone and love it except I'm surprised and annoyed that there is no way to create a group within contacts. I coach a youth basketball team and routinely want to fire off a mass email or text to the same group. Am I missing something?

When I click on my contacts icon on my phone there is a Groups choice in the upper left hand corner. Make sure you are in All Contacts and not a specific person.

Perhaps you can sign into your MyVerizon account online and see if the options are available, but not turned on.

Videos sent from a text to email

My friend sent me a text message to my email on my iphone with an attached video (she has at&t as well but not the iphone). When i opened the file it played the sound but not the video. Only the quicktime label was shown. When I first opened the message it said it was 3GP so i thought the iphone could play it. Another friend sent me a message and it played nothing at all. It just showed the quicktime page again and the bar up top said it was playing. Any sugguestions?

If you've set up the email account via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account then you should be able to read them in the Mail app. Or you can view them by logging into your account via Safari

Sent emails are missing from Thunderbird following migration from alternative email client and import of emails

All sent emails are missing from the Thunderbird 'Sent' folder following import, but Sent folder still shows a count of the imported emails (Thunderbird considered them to be unread when importing them, hence the count). The messages are also visible online (BT Internet email) and on other devices (Android running BlueMail). Settings are set to place copies of sent items into Sent folder. Having imported all my old email, I can send email but again they do not appear in the Sent folder (but do appear online and on other devices). I have tried compacting the Sent folder and i have tried repairing the folder. All other folders (Inbox, other newly created folders) show the email i have imported.
If I move an email online from the Sent folder to another test folder, it syncs and appears in Thunderbird in that test folder. If I then use Thunderbird to move the email back from that test folder to the Sent folder then Thunderbird will do so, but locks up for a good minute or so while doing that.
Running TB 24.6.0 on Windows 8.1, incoming server set to IMAP on mail.btinternet.com (port 993), outgoing server set to SMTP on mail.btinternet.com (port 465).
Help gratefully received!

Cheers for that, Mulder.
It did seem to recover some emails which had disappeared from Mail, but not all of them. That's the frustrating thing - short of going through my Yahoo webmail accounts and logging every single email, and then cross-referencing with what's on my desktop, I just can't be sure what's there and what's not!
Sometimes it's immediately clear that something is awry - the folder I use for emails from my girlfriend is completely empty, for instance, when I definitely had things in there before the weekend. (Yes, again I went away for the weekend, with the computer still running - and Mail on - and again I returned to discover emails missing.
Arrgh!

Old "sent emails" are MISSING

I've been using me.com since 2008, back then it was a paid service. When the time came, I switched to iCloud, no problem, I enjoy the service. Recently I need to find some sent emails during the period of mid-2011 then I realized that my "Sent" folder only records sent emails from May 2012 (which I think around the time I switched to iCloud, perhaps June 2012). Older emails are MISSING. I'm using Mail in my iMac but when I tried to login to www.me.com or www.icloud.com, and accessed my "Sent" folder, it's the same. Strangely enough, my emails in "Inbox" (both in my iMac & at the server) are intact, only those in "Sent" folder are missing.
Anyone has any idea what's going on? Is there a chance I could get my old emails (pre-May, 2012)? Thanks.

I've been using Mail (currently 4.6 (1085)) to handle all my emails including my Gmail account. Yes, I did migrate, I remember changing some settings through the web but I don't recall changing things in my Mail setting. Perhaps, I did, I'm not sure. I attach a screen capture of my Mail settings:
Yes, it's foolish to have no backup. I've been using TimeMachine with TimeCapsule for quite some time now. I think I switched from MM to iCloud around June 2012, when it was close to deadline. Does my attached picture answer your question about the server setting?
