Why are my emails blank

I recently updated to Maverick, and most of my emails saved on Mail are empty. They have no content... I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP HERE!

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

    why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

    This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).
    Mail > Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... to look into it.

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • Why are my emails aborted when I'm trying to send pictures?

    Why are my emails aborted when im trying to send pictures?

    What is the size of the email attachments you are trying to send?  Many email providers limit the message content size some where in the 2-3 MB range, some larger some smaller.  If your photos are multile MBs that could cause the provider to reject the email.
    Try resaving a rejected photo to a smaller size/resolution and see if it goes successfully.

  • Why are my emails dissapearing in cloud

    why are my emails dissapearing in since i upgraded to cloud?

    The most likely explanation is that you don't have Lion 10.7.2 but have an earlier system on your Mac - is this the case? If so please post your operating sytem: I assume you hae migrated from MobileMe - is this the case?

  • Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday?

    Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday?  The employee at the Apple Store told me to contact my email carrier, but they told me it was an Apple issue.
    iPhone5c  iOS 8.1.2

    I keep Outlook Express running on my desktop all the time.  The emails come into the inboxes of both my desktop and my iPhone.  Once the emails are received on the desktop and I read them on my phone, they automatically go into the trash folder.  If it really is trash, I manually delete them and they go over to the other trash folder.  Then I can empty all of them at once.  If it's really important, sometimes I manually move it to another folder.  But then Saturday comes along and the trash folder all of a sudden becomes empty.

  • Why are my emails printing out with a very small font

    why are all my emails printing out in a very small font? It takes a magnifying glass to read them.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few weeks ago

    Go to: file menu
    print preview
    check scale (mine was defaulting to 50%)
    change to 100%
    print
    Fix it for me and the scale reset for future printing

  • Why are my emails encrypted?

    why are my out going emails encrypted to some people?

    Perhaps this will help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11790
    If that's not the situation, you must have some sort of other system, either on your computer or your email account, that would be encrypting the messages. Make sure, though, that the recipients are really getting encrypted messages and not just compressed attachments.

  • Why are the emails in my yahoo deleted file being erased on my iphone

    I have yahoo email and for the last month, or so, the emails in my deleted file (trash) are erasing on my iphone 3gs, even though the setting for deleted emails to be removed is NEVER. Why is this happening all of a sudden???
    Could this be same reason why my calendar is no longer syncing with my yahoo calendar, nor is my phone saving all appointments entered in calendar via my iphone??
    Beginning to think this "smartphone" was a waste of money, with as much time I've wasted on it!

    Contact yahoo if the email account is not working correctly based on the settings that you have selected.

  • Why are my emails not showing up on iPhone5? Emails are on the servers and show up in Mail on both Macs.

    I added VIP yesterday. Mail was syncing fine at first but now iPhone isn't displaying certain emails. If I search for them by selecting continue on server, they show up; however, once I close the search I can't see the emails in my inbox, VIP, Gmail, Yahoo, etc on my iPhone5. The emails are in the accounts if I login to the accounts on the web and they appear in Mail on my 2 MacBooks. Already did a restore from iCloud and same problem.

    Nevermind. Somehow mail settings on iPhone was on or went back to show 50 recent. Increased to 100 and everything shows up again. Not sure why 'show 50 recent' displays older messages, i.e. email a month old vs. email from yesterday, but whatever it works fine now.

  • Why are my emails acting threaded even though my sort is set to unthreaded?

    My View> Sort By> is set to Unthreaded, yet when I mark an email as "Read" it randomly marks other emails as read that I have not actually read yet. No I do not have any addons for filtering conversations. Yes I have read this Q&A https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989629?esab=a&as=aaq The answer that said that even though the right click drop down menu Mark> As Read option shows the 'R' underlined, indicating to use 'R' to mark a single message as read, 'R' will mark the entire thread as read. My question is, how can it mark 'a thread' as red when a thread doesn't exist since the sort by view is set as unthreaded? I was grateful for the suggestion to use 'M' to toggle between Read & Unread status on a single message, as this DOES work to mark only one message as read! However in every other way my messages are still being treated like they are threaded even though I have set the view> sort by> as Unthreaded. Is there ANY other way to turn threading off besides the View> Sort By options? Or at least change the way Thunderbird assembles conversation threads?

    Thank you Matt, I guess I was hoping to find out if I could change the way Thunderbird sorts threads. For example, I have a few emails in my inbox, sorted as follows:
    1 3/4/14 Re: Howelite Nurseries, Inc. 6-21537 Annual CCR Rich Lunar
    2 3/4/14 Re: Howelite Nurseries, Inc. 6-21537 Annual CCR Rich Lunar

    As you can see they are all separate companies having nothing to do with each other, mind you they have never been part of a group conversation or subscription or anything like that. An individual email was sent out by me to only one individual contact. In my inbox #1&#2 are threaded together, email #3 stands alone, email #4 stands alone, emails #5, #6, #7 are threaded together, and emails #8, #9, #!0, #11 are threaded together.
    At first I thought the word "CCR" could be causing Thunderbird to think they belong together, however as can be seen above there are several threads and all but one subject line contains the word "CCR". Also notice that emails #1, #2, #11 all have the exact same subject line and sender, and clearly they are not sorted by date... so basically I'm having trouble understanding Thunderbird's logic for threading these emails the way they are.
    I guess my question "What is Thunderbird's logic?" is a two part question; part 1.) Why is Thunderbird grouping these emails the way they are? and part 2.) Can I change way Thunderbird filters a thread? Say by sender perhaps or subject line?
