iphone 4 Mail messages (no sender) no subject

No fix...

I occas have this problem on my mac (Mail.app).

A rebuild of all mailboxes solves the problem (Exit Mail, delete all Envelope files in Mail > V2 in Finder, Open Mail).

I have been experiencing this problem for the past 3 months on both my iPad and iTouch. Constantly having to clear these messages with the above methods is NOT a fix! Since this problem seems to have been around for about 3 years at least, it seems that Apple will go on doing their usual thing when they do not have a fix - they will ignore it.

Is it only happening to users of gmail?

THANK YOU!!! I was being haunted by "No Sender". Worked perfectly!

GO TO SETTINGS. SELECT MAIL ACCOUNT. TURN ACCT. OFF...THEN ON. THAT WORKED FOR ME!

Obviously a bug which requires fixing by Apple and not leaving users to their own devices wasting hours of time and getting nowhere. . Does Apple take no notice of all probelms relating to this, not only on this forum but many others too. There must thousands of people who nevereven bother asking.

I had the same problem with my Gmail-account on my iPhone 5 and iPad (since iOS 7):

(No Sender)

(No Subject)

This message has no content

Sometimes my Gmail Account was "inactive" and i couldn't open it.

I haven't read all the answears, so it may be that my solution was mentioned before.

A solution, which worked for me was the following one:

When I looked into my Gmail Account (on the computer, not on the iPhone or iPad) there was a subfolder (label) called "INBOX/***" It can be found in "settings"->"labels" (I use the german version of Gmail, so I am not sure if this is correct)

This subfolder "INBOX/***" was empty, so I deleted it.

Since then all my Gmail mails have a sender and a subject.

Hope this helps!

Thanks DAVIDCRAIG - this worked for me. The culprit was a POP account...

thx sim-x,

that did it also for me. Removed all inbox/ folders from gmail accounts and all no sender no subject messages instantly disappeared.

I think I found a real solution which I posted here:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5409874?answerId=23992956022#23992956022

This solved the problem. Thanks.

Perfect solution. It worked like a charm. Thanks.

I am having this problem and none of the solutions are working. It is getting worse. Using some of the solutios gets rid of the 12/31/69 emails then they come right back. Now, it is causing real emails to change to no content, no message. You can't delete them either. I am at a loss....help!!

Thank you,

Lisa

Im sure you have already tried these, but I just had to put them out there to make sure. Not everyone has found the same solution to this problem.

1. Delete the gmail account on the iphone

- recreate the account, NOT Selecting GOOGLE as the mail choice, select OTHER and insert the email account information manually.

- These are the settings I know work on the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.6:

A. Input Name: "Your Name"

B. Input Email: "Your gmail email address"

C. Input Password: "Your gmail email password"

D. Input Description: "Anything to distinguish this gmail from your other email accounts"

E. Select "IMAP" at the top.

F. Input Incomming Mail Server info:

- Host Name: "imap.gmail.com"

- Username: "full gmail email address"

- Password: "gmail password"

G. Input Outgoing Mail Server:

- Host Name: "smtp.gmail.com"

- Username: "full gmail email address"

- Password: "gmail password"

H. Tap "Next"

I. Tap "Save"

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

I was horrified to read all the crazy things people had to do to fix this. Got my first "No Sender" mail last night. Turned off my Iphone 5S, turned it back on a few minutes later and the problem was fixed.
