Q: iphone 4 Mail messages (no sender) no subject

My inbox has four mysterious messages that I can't delete. They all say

(No Sender)
(No Subject)
This message has no content

Date: 12-31-69

can't open or delete any of them. These messages are not on my mobileme cloud.

Thanks for the help. Chad

    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?

    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 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.
