Mac Mail - Message Body Not Displayed

Been having a problem as of late with the Mac Mail app,

I cant seem to view message bodies and can only see the sender/subject/ect. but no message body.

When I load the message on my phone or icloud.com it e-mail displays fine.

I have tried rebuilding the mailbox twice already but it had no effect.

Any Help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Okaaay!

Seems it was me all along, and nothing to do with the problem(s) noted in this thread. When I got the Gmail security alert today, I seem to have told Google to block access from 'less secure apps' - forgot I did that. In checking Google security settings now, I noted that switch was set and so I unset it to allow 'less secure apps' access. Mail now working fine. So Google classifies Apple Mail app as a 'less secure app'!! Which means I have to allow access to ALL 'less secure apps' in order to use Apple Mail app (which I mainly use to ensure I have an offline copy / backup of all my mail and am not dependent solely on Gmail.)

Off to have a word with Google re this. Apologies for distraction from the topic at hand, but others may wish to note this, re use of Gmail and Apple Mail.
