Receiving Blank email messages in Yahoo account

go settings mail and change organize by thread off...
go back and see if that helped, did on my end. turn the setting back on again..
also if you hold the on / off key and the home key down TOGETHER until the apple shows up that corrects a lot of issues i have found...

the easiest, permanent fix for this it to delete your account from your phone and then re-add it. i too was getting emails that claimed to have no sender and no subject (do not listen to this, if you check your inbox using a computer you will see that these are indeed actual emails with content and valid senders). i deleted my account and then re-added it and i have not had the problem since.

I too have had this problem with my email provider, a local ISP in the Calif Gold Country...

I noted that the blank messages were always grouped as a thread.. so, I went to settings and turned off "Organize by Thread", and re-checked messages. Each of the "blank" messages showed up as actual messages. So, I'm guessing it is a bit of bug with the "organize by thread" option.

I turned the option back "on" and had no odd blank messages.. We'll see if this persists or the turn off then on option needs to be done again.

I had a user with the same problem. The phone had many apps open (15-20). I closed down all apps, opened up mail again, and the messages were no longer blank.

Thanks folks. Rebooting the phone by holding down the top button fixed it for me too.

Same problem here with MobileMe. The "organize by thread off" option in the settings fixed it. Will check if it continues to do it.

On/Off + Home key option worked for me. It re-downloaded my emails and now I can read them by thread or otherwise thanks.

Me too, with mobileme account. Finally deleted account and re-added it and it seems to have worked...for not...

Your fix doesn't work for me. I deleted the accounts and then re-entered it but still all blank emails, even though the two-line preview is viewable.

And it's not just Yahoo; the same blank emails are occurring with my Gmail and Hotmail accounts. Mail was working fine until this afternoon when the blank emails suddenly started.

I'm getting the same thing with Gmail on the iPhone 4g--very frustrating! I hope they come up with a fix soon.

Had one blank message via gmail so far.

My mail app in my iPhone 4 says I have one inbox email, but there's no email. I use mobileme.

This worked for me as well!

I have done this and I am hoping it works!! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing.
