Hello everyone. My mac downloads a list of emails with no problem but doesn't show their content when I click on them. To get this I have to exit mail and reenter. Very irritating. Woulod appreciate any suggestions

This solution has worked for other users (not all, though) in the same situation. Here is the Mailbox > Rebuild menu:
The mailbox rebuilding occurs behind the scenes. It is not especially time-consuming: a few minutes for hundreds of emails. There will be no indication as to when it's complete, though.
Thank you for replying. Sorry to say I have been unable to find mailbox>rebuild and so haven't been able to do it. From what I can see from a google search it would take a very long time to do as I have a vast number of stored emails. Having said that I could probably delete most of them if I could find a quick way to do it. Can you kindly explain to me why you think doing this would solve the problem because I was thinking more on the lines of a simple setting somewhere that has got mashed.
With kind wishes

In Mail, select the mail account in the sidebar and click Mailbox > Rebuild. You may want to repeat the procedure for other mail accounts.
