Mail Won't Display Messages

Recently, starting May 18th, my mail shows it is receiving messages, but they won't display. I can see them coming into the server, but nothing displays. For example, when I send a test email from my Gmail account to my hosted email account, I can see the message coming in under the "Mail Activity" screen (lower left), but then nothing comes up.
I'm hosting my websites and using my iMac as a mail server.
I've been working on this for days, and nothing has worked. Just to recap:
I've "Rebuilt" every email box multiple times
I've deleted the "Envelope Index" file, and allowed mail to re-import everything
I've deleted all the security certificates from the system, except for the website security certificates, and issued new certificates
I've tried using Firefox Thunderbird for an email client, and I get the same problem
I've deleted all unnecessary emails
I can send email from outside accounts to my server, and it works just fine. No errors, and I can see the message coming in just seconds later.
All email accounts connect and the "Connection Doctor" gives me green lights on everything.
This was a very sudden problem, and I did have 2 updates recently. One for iTunes and one for the Thunderbolt controller. Neither of which should have given me any mail issues.
So what would cause the messages to remain hidden?

The bottom line is, if your server is not properly setup for mail, it just won't work. Obvious really, but the not so obvious is Apple syntax required for a proper server configuration. Such as using "www.yourserver.com" as your FQDN. Of course, this has never been an FQDN, "www" is a Microsoft sub-domain.
Hopefully, Apple will fix this in the future so it's not contrary to Internet industry standards. Currently, this is very confusing and difficult to establish standards because the Apple environment doesn't see Internet domains the way they're established in the industry.

MAIL won't open on my new iMac

I recently purchase a new iMac (have macbook for years) and among various small issues I am having, MAIL won't open when I click the icon. It seems to be running but no window opens up. It was that I could right click the icon and select show all windows and it would come up, however this morning nothing seems to work. Apple support isn't open on weekends which is not great either, so any advice is appreciated.

OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
If Mail still doesn't open, see below.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1
Have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox. Deleting all history, cookies, etc.

It works ok for me but then I am not using Flash 11.3 on Windows.
I can see http://news.wsu.edu/ ok
When I try http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1. I get a mainly blank page with an error message

Possibly the link is not quite correct. (trailing dot ?)
Selecting a "sound slide" does however work ok for me I get a slide show with very loud music.

'''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use. You may find it works if you downgrade to FlashPlayer 11.2 or 10.3''' There have been known issues with FlashPlayer on Windows Firefox systems. Developers from Flash & Firefox have been working on the problem, but despite new updates to both FlashPlayer and Firefox in recent days, problems may still be occurring.
Note also there is a related but separate problem on some systems with RealPlayer. If you have Real Player installed please say so, and especially mention if that includes video download or recording options.
<u>The current standard response to the Flash Player 11.3 (Windows Firefoz) problem is as follows, (but advice may change over the next few days):</u>
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

Yosemite Mail won't finish upgrading

It has now been over 12 hours.
- Removed 3rd party apps
- force quit Mail
- restarted mac
Yosemite Mail just won't finish upgrading

Hmmm... What did you do after safe boot? I assume just rebooting did not solve the issue, or did it?

After Yosemite mail won't open

Help!!! I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and somehow Apple mail won't open anymore. Every time I click on the icon it says, "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?", I click Reopen, it stays on the Updating mail database base and a few seconds later it crashes again. What is the problem here?

This fixed it! I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite this morning, and had a very pleasant experience for several hours, when Apple Mail suddenly crashed (Not responding). I tried everything including reinstalling Yosemite, but Apple Mail does NOT OPEN.

Yosemite mail won't allow me to add a gmail account to it. Help?

After downloading Yosemite, I changed the password to my school gmail account. Shortly after I realized that Mac Mail would not allow me to send or receive messages. I deleted the gmail account off of my mac mail, and tried to add it again later in order to circumvent the problem. It did not work, as I now cannot add my gmail account back on. Accounts immediately replies "Unable to verify account name or password", or "cannot discover the account settings for the mail server ---." Any advice??

Hi njs72,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not able to re add the email account to Mail. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Mail won't display HTML mails

I am having the problem that mail does not display HTML mails properly but shows them als plain text. Well, at least kind of. I went through all settings in Mail and Safari and whatever I might think of but no success.
Not even HTML mails from Apple are displayed correctly.
Any idea what could wrong?

I find this kind of funny because I just turned off all HTML in Mail on purpose with a Terminal command.
Has anyone else been messing with your computer?
I don't have the Terminal commands to redo HTML here at the office , will have to wait until I get home, but if you trash the preferences for Mail that should fix it.
Quit Mail then go to user/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.mail.plist
Then restart Mail and see what happens.
There is another one with the same name in /Library/Preferences that you can trash as well if that doesn't work but it's most likely your user preference. If no one was messing with your computer probably just a corrupt preference because there is no way to turn HTML off in Mail other than through a Terminal command line that changes your user preference file. You can't have done it by accident.

Mail 3.6 Inbox not getting new Gmail mail

So since I updated to 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 (both use Mail 3.6), the Inbox of Mail will not populate properly from my gmail hosted IMAP account. The All Mail and label folders are all fine but the Inbox won't show messages newer than 11:28 am on August 4th.. it's the 7th now.
I've tried rebuilding the inbox, turning off my rules, hunting through the preference files, removing the account and making a new one (re-downloading all mail for that account) - nothing works. I either get the same stopping point or I get a completely blank (empty) inbox.
Anyone know of a fix?

I've been experiencing this for 3 months now. Totally sporadic. I've checked preferences, rebuilt mailboxes, etc. to no avail. It's like going to start an unreliable car on a cold morning. Sometimes it cranks, sometimes it doesn't. Hasn't downloaded new mail for a day. Probably will tomorrow.
I'd like to go to 10.5.8, but I don't want things to get worse. When I really need to read email (other than my iPhone), I fire up Thunderbird, and there are all my new messages.
Come on, Apple! I'd rather be using Mail!

Mail Won't retrieve my emails from gmail via POP

I configured everything for POP routing with my gmail account about a month ago. I know I did everything right because it worked for quite some time. About 2 days ago after I had to force quit mail it stopped fetching my mail. Everytime I hit get mail, or load the program it just shows the busy signal for a while next to my inbox and then doesn't bring anything. if i log into my google mail account, often times, there is new mail there that should have been forwarded. I got affirmative replies from the connection doctor saying it was able to connect and I double checked that all of my settings were correct. I also verifed that google mail was enabled for POP usage. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks is advance for the help.

Kurius,
Your problem is clearly not the same as the one being discussed here. The only thing in common is that a Gmail account is involved. Make sure you’re setting up your Gmail account as described here:

If the problem persists, please start a new topic to properly discuss it in its own thread.

Mail won't display the message content

I'm using Mail 3.0 in Leopard and using it to check three mail accounts: .Mac, Comcast, and GMail. My installation of Leopard is an upgrade from OS X 10.4.10. Everything has been working brilliantly until yesterday. Mail now shows there are new emails and displays the list of all messages but clicking on a message to read it's contents displays nothing. The preview window is blank. Double clicking the message shows a blank windows.
Between yesterday and today I did nothing that should have altered Mail's settings. Has this happened to anyone? Any ideas of what to do to resolve the problem? Could SpamSieve or GrowlMail be the culprit in this (even though they've been there since day one)?

Same problem here. Some (few) email bodies are not shown. When I hit reply, body is empty too.
Here are the last part of the headers of one of those messages

Mail won't display pictures in HTML formatted received messages iMAC newbie

I am a new iMAC user and have set up my POP account and send/receive e-mail fine. However several received messages come with text only displayed and the graphical part is missing. The messages come with a file attachment "winmail.dat," which I cannot open.
My mail settings are pretty much out of the box default. I do have the preferences to show HTML selected. TIA for any help.

First, Google makes all computing simple.
Winmail.dat files are created by MS Outlook, which assumes by default that everyone else in the world also uses Outlook. The ideal solution is convincing your friends to stop using Outlook. The practical solution is TNEFs Enough.

Apple Mail won't display messages in HTML

I'm using Apple Mail on my laptop to check email from an account other than iCloud and Gmail. I also use my iPhone and iPad to check mail from this same account. Sometimes, newsletters are appearing in Apple Mail in plain text format, and not in HTML format. What's unusual is that these same messages appear in HTML format on both my iPhone and iPad, so I'm guessing it's not a problem with my mail server, but with the Apple Mail application. Are there any settings in Apple Mail to ensure I view all messages in HTML format?
Thanks!

Emily -
My wife is having the same problem with her new MacBook Air. She never saw the problem on the old first-gen Air running Snow Leopard.
Here's what's going on:
The messages that are having the problem are encoded as multipart/alternative. That is, they contain this in the received message:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993"
Downstream, you'll find that boundary string whenever a new "part" begins:
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
This begins the first part...the plain text part. On down the stream, you'll find the part header again:
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.=
w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
That final <html> tag begins the bulk of the HTML code to render the graphical page. The block must end with a </html> tag to indicate the end of the block...but in this message the last line is:
<td style=3D"color: #000000; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10px; font-f=
amily: Arial,Helve
...and that's it. Obviously, the last word should have been "Helvetica" but ***the message was cut off***. I know this because if I open the message source window for the the same message in the gmail section (not the inbox section) the end of the message looks like this:
</body>
</html>
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993--
...which is what I'd expect in a multipart MIME encoded message.
The amount of data that's missing from the end appears to be about one network packet's worth. I suspect what's going on is that mail is erroneously discarding the final packet of some mail messages.
BTW, I've taken the computer to the Genius bar, and we took the time to create a new user account and a clean mailbox and duplicated the problem there in the store. The genius was unable to recommend a solution to the problem, and suggested that I perform a reinstall-in-place of the OS. Haven't done that yet, as I consider that pretty thin gruel from the perspective of fixing the problem.
In the meantime, I'm trying Sparrow mail as an alternative mail client. So far, I haven't seen the problem using Sparrow (nor, for that matter, on OSX Snow Leopard.)
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'll post back in this forum if I come up with a solution. I'll follow the thread...if anybody has any ideas what might be going on please post.

Mail won't display messages or close?

I bought this Macbook today (literally about 5 or six hours ago), brought it home, and used the migration assistant to bring my documents/preferences over to my new macbook from my old iBook G4, which was still running Tiger. Everything seems to be running alright, except that Mail is acting funny. I click on it and it opens, but the message viewer doesn't pop up. It doesn't come up until I go to Window > Message Viewer, and then it comes up as an empty inbox. I click the button to get mail and nothing happens. I checked the preferences and all my email account stuff is in there and correct. To top it off, when I try to quit, it refuses to - it just stays there until I force-quit it. I'm not really sure what to do and I didn't see any posts on Mail having this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

This post under Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1830441&tstart=25
eventually handled my same situation. Mine was a new MB Pro which would not display the mail after a migration from an older iBook.
The entry further down in the post from the original writer is what did the trick for me.
Good Luck

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!
