Mac Mail: "This message has no content"

Not a question but a workaround for those who need it

This has been a long-running issue Apple has failed or not bothered to fix.

SOLUTION: The message you want to view drag it to a new mailbox and then drag it back again. You should then be able to view the content.

For some reason, the content will only appear after you drag in back into the original mailbox.

No idea why this works, but it does and took me ages to figure this one out.

APPLE why not finally fix this?

Mail preview showing the same preview for different messages Hello, I'm having problems with Apple Mail. When I scroll through emails in a folder (some of which are an ongoing "conversation") the same content is show in the preview window. If I double-click on them, the actual email is shown. But it takes a long time to search and defeats the point of having a preview window. I've tried "rebuilding" mailboxes, but it doesn't fix the problem. Also, some emails are missing from a folder to which I had dragged them. If I search by sender, I find the missing messages, but they are in a folder called "Important". I think I used to have a folder called "Important" but I don't anymore. Any ideas? Thank you.

Mail Message Stays UN-Deleted I have a message in my Inbox in Mail that I have tried several times and deleted but it stays in the Inbox! (see below). This Inbox belongs to an Exchange account; however, when I go into a browser page to check my Microsoft mail account, the message is not in that box. It would appear then that the message was deleted in the Exchange account but it still appears in Mail on my Mac. How do I get rid of this irksome message?
