Strange mail behaviour - message sender and title do not match message

We have a copy of mail behaving oddly - within the last 2 days 2 messages have been delivered to the inbox (on an exchange account), where on opening the message the text of the message does not match the sender and subject. Mail seems to be moving/deleting/not showing the corrent email content and showing the content of another email from months ago from someone else instead.
Logging into the exchange server direct (through safari) gives the correct message content, which leads me to believe it's Mail going wrong.
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) all updates run

Strange one - sounds like the beginningof what could be a major problem as Mail stores the messages in files which consist of a number with a .emix extension if they are getting mixed up then the file system is confused
You need to check what is stored in the emails on your drive
If the message is still in your Inbox then:
Your User folder / Library / Mail / and you file see several files and several folders (Mailboxes is where you have moved messages to, Signatures is self explanatory) you will also see depending on how many Accounts you have a folder which describes your account - open it -inside will be an Inbox folder - open it - open Messages and double click on one of the files. It should open in a small pane within Mail. Check that it has the correct information.
Come back I will wait for your reply

  • Mail won't send, and Outbox doesn't appear

    About three days ago my mail stopped sending. When I compose mail everything goes as usual and no alert box pops up when I hit send. However, my mail isn't sending and the outbox isn't showing up to tell me the mail is still pending. I haven't found this problem on any other discussion forums. Is it a .me issue? If I use spotlight it will find unsent messages and says they are in the outbox, but there is no outbox in Mail. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Problem fixed itself inexplicably. Go figure.

  • After updating to Maverick some emails arrive with contents that do not belong to Sender and title.

    Since updating to Mavericks I'm receiving some e-mails with contents that does not match the Sender and Title. Also receiving blank emails that DO have contents on my iPhone.

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    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.

    Outgoing port 465 does not work only 110 works You need to change the Ports and security settings to those that I posted or your signing into BTMail servers will not be accepted. See the link below.
    incoming port 995 does not work only 25 works As above
    when I use BT Yahoo both accounts work okay
    When I use Windows live mail (which I prefer to use) only second account works but not main account (default account)does not work????
    I have checked out all the other criteria you say.
    I have spent the last 2 weeks with Windows live mail and they say everthing is okay at there end and should resolve this problem with you???
    Have a read through this link and the part about Windows Live Mail and how to change it for BTMail.

    iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

  • 2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different).  I am running 10.7.5.  I searched everywhere and nothing.  Not on iCloud either.

    2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different).  I am running 10.7.5.  I searched everywhere and nothing.  Not on iCloud either.  This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again.  I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them!  Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text?  These were nothing crazy.  One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use!  HELP!  Now I am worried I am missing important emails!

    Greetings Val Val,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are not receiving some email from an account that you have set up on your Mac. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.

    I selected old mail in time machine and it will not open. How can I open it?

    Have a read here https://discussions.apple.com/message/15701309#15701309
    Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

  • My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Images and titles are not showing up

    I took a screen shot of it, but when I load tumblr and reddit specifically, but there are other pages, smaller images and title do not show up. I tried the trouble shooting, and the reset, and looked at extensions. Nothing worked, I still have the problem.
    When I use tumblr, and click on the number of likes/reshares and it opens the list below the pictures, all I see is small icons instead of showing me the names of who did what.
    On reddit, the top tabs (new, hot, etc) aren't showing up.

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?
