Mac Mail - Message Body Not Displayed

I think it's a global problem (I'm on Google Apps). I rebuilt the index and made zero difference. Ditto PRAM reset. Definitely something to do with attachments - that's what sets it off, always.

This seems to have worked so far for me http://www.scrubly.com/blog/how-to-mac-mail/how-to-fix-common-issues-in-apple-ma il-by-rebuilding-and-reindexing-the-mail…

I upgraded to the latest El Capitan yesterday and I think the problem may have been sorted.I was expecting this as the problems started with the last upgrade.

I am now seeing the content in the message body and also getting a sound notification when mail arrives which were the two things the previous upgrade messed up. Hopefully everybody will get sorted this time around....

Give it time. It'll be back 🙂

Wow, great, thanks a lot! This has worked for me!

I did the automatic rebuild for all my mailboxes yesterday morning and had no problems since then.

10.11.2 update seems to have fixed it for me - at least half a day and the problem hasn't recurred yet...

Mine continues to be good after the latest update.

The problem went away for me a few days after I posted here, which was before the latest update. I tried some of the remedies suggested here and none worked. So I just kept closing and reopening Mail. After a few days I noticed I no longer had to do that and Mail was working fine. Unless there was an update that happened in the background (I don't check the app store regularly to see what it's updated), I'm not aware of having changed anything to make it suddenly start working properly again. I just think the Mail Gods started smiling on me again. 😉

Same, only have accounts.plist.

This problem has been driving me crazy for months, now running 10.11.1. I'll see if upgrading to 10.11.2 makes a difference but I'm not hopeful.

I'm suffering with empty reply email popups. I've reset the PRAM and rebuilt the email MailData files. Neither of these suggestions resolved the issue. My work around is to restart the Mac, but this is rather annoying to do, every time I want to reply to an email. Quitting Mail just allows me to delete the useless empty popup box. Attached screen grab illustrates what is happening. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Actually, I can not read e-mails. Manual rebuild has not helped. In my case it was necessary to change the V2 to V3 in the folder name. I am considering the purchase of MS Outlook, I connect to Exchange.

If the problem goes away if you don't have any web browsers running then it's probably an evil thing called 'Trusteer' that some banks recommend to their customers. Try disabling / uninstalling it.

I had Trustee which my nephew made me totally remove from the machine as he said it is like a Trojan. However this did not help the message not showing at all :-(.

The problem seems to have gone away – for now!

I do have Trusteer installed on my machine. Dam thing never works properly. If the email issue returns, i'll try removing Trusteer and see if it helps.

I had the same problem, as well, and it turned out to have something to do with the fact that I have Microsoft Outlook for Mac. I couldn't view the body of my emails in Apple Mail. I went to Mail/Preferences/General and where it says "Default email reader: " I changed it from "Microsoft Outlook" to "Mail" and everything worked, the body of my emails began downloading. I hope that helps...
