i get mail on my mac account and in the summary i can see who send it and what's the subject. when i open up the mail, it is no longer the new unread message, but some old mail from long ago (up to 5 years ago) from some other sender. who know how to solve this or had the same issue?
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1.1
Select the Mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu.
Thank you Barney-15E !
i see it rebuilding and it all looks to be correct!
any clue on how this might have happened?
All of the individual email messages are stored separately, buried in the ~/Library/Mail folder. That's great for backup and preventing corruption, but it is horrible for performance (listing all emails, sorting, etc).
So, all of the individual messages are indexed in a database which can retrieve the basic information and display it quickly. That indexing database can get corrupted. It doesn't happen often, and I don't know what would trigger the corruption. The Rebuild command re-indexes the individual messages, cleaning up the database.
Thank you Barney-15E !
the two events i can think of are migration from my macbook to my macbook pro and the connection that was made between my mac account mail and the my mail account on the site of my employer.
My problem is now solved, thank you very much!
the content of my email is different from it's summary?
