Mail - no text in the email

Mail only downloads headers and attachments (if any). The text is not present (also happens to some old emails that I could read).

In webmail (Gmail) the email text is present as usual.


thanks

rebuilding still in process, but now the text has reappeared where missing.

does it means I can no longer use the "Protect Mail Activity"?

thanks !


You have to ask yourself—did I ever have an issue prior to these features added..bells and whistles?



If it does not work, and you get no text in your email—I would suggest not using it.

I have seen nothing but trouble in these Apple Support Communities regarding "Protect Mail Activity."
