Q: Mail stopped working on Mac Pro 10.9.5. All outgoing mail says "this message has no content. Checked connection, rebooted the mailbox. Nothing going out.

Mail stopped working on my Mac sent two of six emails then rejected the other four. Stuck in outbox with "This message has no content" designation. Click on the mail and the attached photo shows up in the email. I have checked connectivity, tested the email account using my iPhone, no problem there. Have deleted the mailbox and added it back. None of my other accounts are working either. The one in the original question is bell south.net but I have tried gmail and it doesn't work either.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null

A:

Yes, did that early on when I deleted then re-added the e-mail account. Thanks! It turned out to be just

another glitch in the wall. Apple support had me delete all the mail stuck in the out box and in the drafts folder. Next email test, same problem. Rebooted mail app, kept doing tests then they just started working again. They said one probably got stuck and it backed everything up. Just keep on plunging, lol. I will keep in mind these were large photos, no title line and no other content except the attachments. The last one was a word document. I routinely send this exact same type of email but this time they got stuck. Thank you for the link.

    Did the mail message have a subject line, recipient and something in the body besides the attachment?

    NO subject line and nothing in the body but the attachment. It apparently was a glitch in that one got stuck and held everything up behind it, even the tests with subject and text in the body. See my earlier response re Apple support resolution and thanks for the help. I have akways sent these type emails before with no problem but in the future will add a subject and text with attachment just in case.
