Mail - no text in the email

Mail only downloads headers and attachments (if any). The text is not present (also happens to some old emails that I could read).

In webmail (Gmail) the email text is present as usual.


thanks

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

rebuilding still in process, but now the text has reappeared where missing.

does it means I can no longer use the "Protect Mail Activity"?

thanks !


You have to ask yourself—did I ever have an issue prior to these features added..bells and whistles?



If it does not work, and you get no text in your email—I would suggest not using it.

I have seen nothing but trouble in these Apple Support Communities regarding "Protect Mail Activity."
