The contents of my emails are disappearing, any ideas?

I have an old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and I use the email that comes with the Snow Leopard. A few weeks ago I started getting the header for the incoming message but the contents would be blank. If I checked this same message on my iPhone it was all there. This week I had an email that I was previously able to read on my MacBook turn up empty when I clicked on it. Than there are other emails that I get that wont down load the graffics just the links, there is no rhyme or reason to which ones it chooses to do this to. Any ideas? I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone has.

Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

and also you can try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • The contents of my emails are not showing when I open in my usual Firefox. However, if I open in explorer all contents are displayed. I prefer Firefox and don't want to switch back to Explorer. Can you please help me with this situation?

    I have always been able to open my emails and access their contents using Firefox. Now, this morning, I can no longer access the contents of my emails, but can still open them.
    I called 'virginmedia' who told me to try using Explorer, which worked, and they told me the problem was with Firefox.

    There are many problems with webmail (especially gmail) lately. It can be caused by the AdBlock extension. If you have it installed here's what to do:
    1. "Ctrl+Shift+F" Preferences (or right click on ADP symbol and choose preferences)
    2. 'Filters' menu > "Update all subscriptions"

  • TS3276 Mail app is starting to substitute content from older emails instead of the content I'm actually sending.  Any idea what's happening?

    I upgraded to Mavericks about 6 weeks ago.  Starting 2 weeks ago when I send an email and check in the "sent" folder that it has been sent I notice that the content has been substituted.  Instead of what I just wrote the sent email contains content from an older unrelated email.  Any idea what's going on and especially what I can do about it?
    Thanks Rex

  • I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer and it wiped out his iTunes account replacing his content with the content of my iTunes account. Any idea how to fix this?

    I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer not knowing that it would wipe out his iTunes account and replace his content with mine. Obviously, not good. Any ideas on how to fix this??

    Syncing an iphone should have no effect at all on the content of the computer.
    Are you saying the the itunes library on the computer was effected?

    Using mail or an other application?
    Same problem on different mailbox?
    1- try an other mail client
    2- try with different mailbox (google, icloud, ...)
    This can be a temporary problem from your mailserver ... wait 2 or 3 hours ...

  • HT2497 I am finding that emails are disappearing from my Inbox without explanation.  Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

    I am finding that emails are disappearing from my inbox without explanation.  Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this?

    I found a fix elsewhere for Mail.app.  I had to remove every sub-folder under INBOX (I moved them to a local folder) and then used the MAILBOX -> REBUILD command on INBOX.  It worked, but now I don't have any of the sub-folders.
    I am very disappointed with Apple.  I should never have to do that.  Tens of Billions of dollars in cash, just lying around, and they can't be bothered to make the most basic (and central)  of applications work.

  • Since the latest update to OX I have been unable to download the contents of some emails because pages does not support the font they are created in. Is there a fix for this?

    Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

    Had the same problem; would have been nice if they had told s that we need an intel processor on our older Macs! I am up and running again.

  • I can't access the contents of my email. I can see the message, but the email itself won't open.

    I can't access the contents of my email on my i-pad 2. I can see the message, but the email itself won't open.

    There are 3 things you can try:
    1.  Fully close you mail app.  From your home screen, press your home button twice to bring up your most recently used apps (task bar).  With your finger, hold it on any of those apps until they all start to jiggle.  You'll see a minus sign sign on the upper left side of each app.  Touch the on the Mail icon.  Touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again to return to your home screen. 
    2.  If that doesn't work, reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (hold past the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    3.  If that doesn't work, the last resort might be to delete this mailbox from Settings > Mail COntacts Calendars, then re-install the mailbox.
    I hope one of these suggestions helps.......

  • The text in all emails has disappeared.

    The text in all emails has disappeared. Lines that indicate that there are emails there, but hidden. The only way to find them is to click on Reply. Then I can view them, but can't click on links or bring up older messages in the same thread. Thanks

    That issue can be caused by the Adblock Plus extension.

  • TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

    Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
    They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
    The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

    What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
    Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
    Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

  • My emails are disappearing on me...

    After receiving and reading an email it disappears. My inbox is empty and should have about a hundred emails in it, but when i get an email it stays unread in my inbox until i read it and then it leaves and i have no idea where to, my mailboxes on my computer are still showing the messages for this account so it's probably a case of me have settings set to only show unread mails but how do i remedy this?
    Thanks very much,
    Phil

    Are you using Apple Mail? Gmail App? Are you using a personal address "@me.com"?
    To give you a generalized answer. If your using a Pop Server (You have emails downloaded to each individual device via pop.emailprovider.com) in Apple Mail. Its possible that you have a setting causing emails to delete from your device, not the server where your emails are stored. If you can view your emails on more than one computer, then the emails are stored on your server. My recommendation would be to use an IMAP server setup if possible.
    If you could answer some of my questions, I would be happy to help you more. It appears to be an issue with the device deleting local emails downloaded to it, rather than the emails deleting server side.

  • Why is it taking more than twelve hours to download a 30-hour audio book and why, at the same time, has all the contents of my iBooks library disappeared?

    After downloading 7.0.3. And then buying an audiobook on iTunes, all the contents in my Books section disappeared, and the new book - 30+ hours - has still has still not fully downloaded.  Are all these things linked?

    I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)
