Mac Mail - Message Body Not Displayed

At my wife's suggestion I put my yahoo mail account on Apple Mail. It has been a constant annoyance. Anyone doing a search for an answer to the "message body not displayed" problem will find many years of many people's frustration. I've tried all of the suggestions. Clearly, Apple Mail isn't ready for outside mail accounts. Kinda sad because Apple does so much so well. Bye Apple Mail, I'm gone.

I use Yahoo mail with Apple mail. The frustrations I see are that the Yahoo server is frequently offline, and this causes pop ups telling me to re-enter my password.

I ignore those and yahoo Mail shows up again later.

You are, of course, welcome to do whatever you wish, but I do not have insurmountable problems with yahoo mail.

It won't budge, just reveals itself and stays put when I try to pull it up.

OH MY GOODNESS. That worked!!!!!! Thanks eversoverymuch!

PS The 'Rebuild' option is greyed out - on all mailboxes. This is seriously annoying me now. ;-(

Thanks for the suggestion. But 'Use SSL' is already checked.

So that's not it...

I've found that this alteration to Trusteer is just part of my problem. I'm using App Tamer on my MacBook Pro and I was having this problem with blank messages, and before I saw this Trusteer solution I'd traced the fault to App Tamer. I found that it was stopping Safari before it could load the message body, and if I stopped App Tamer from running all the message bodies did appear, and this was without changing Trusteer. When I did alter the latter to stop screen capturing the message bodies appeared for a time but I still had to stop App Tamer from running to ensure that they always appeared.

For those of you running App Tamer rather than stopping it running completely you can click the small box next to Safari in the window in App Tamer showing the running applications and then check the box to prevent App Tamer from stopping or slowing Safari when it's hidden.

Had the very same issue. I tried Forcing Quit, and nothing. Also rebooting, erasing cookies, reinstalling Mailboxes, deleting caches...and nothing. Contacted Apple Support and they indicated that they had several cases, and the problem is caused by a corruption of files while downloading the MacOS update.

Only real solution is Reinstalling latest MacOS by rebooting the system while pressing Command-R and following the instructions. Although very time consuming, it is the only solution so far.

Best of luck.

Had an email chat back and forth with IBM (Trusteer Rapport Support) they are aware of the problem and for me have seem to have fixed it. They said their developers are looking in to it as they have had multiple reports of the same issue. The last tip they had was set 'Block Screen Capturing' to never in security policies part of the Trusteer preferences.

You can also drag and drop caches folder from system library , and caches , cookies folder from user library to the desktop , restart the machine and open the mail application .

And another method , delete the IMAP account and configure it once again , mails will download from the server .

Uninstalling Trusteer Rapport solved my problem. I couldn't see emails and couldn't see safari web pages. Both working fine now.

I finally solved the problem. I noticed the problem was only with my yahoo account not gmail or other accounts. So all i did was force quit mail. Went to system preferences > internet accounts and deleted my yahoo account and then added it again.

My Problem solved. 🙂

If you can see the Headers, you are not having a problem sending or getting emails, or having them organized in mailboxes.

You are having a problem with how Mail is Presenting your emails to you.

This article describes how folks who re-designed Mail expected it to work for you. Note that this is different from how it worked since the first version of Mac OS X, and there are multiple ways to screw it up so that the information you care about is not displayed properly, starting with "Conversations".

Mac Basics: Use Mail on your Mac - Apple Support

.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.

Back up all data before proceeding.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder

from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.

A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:

Envelope Index

ExternalUpdates.storedata

Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.

Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

I've tried what you suggested but I continue to have the same issue. I'm getting the emails but with the body basically empty.
