Windows 10 Mail app doesn't show emails with empty contents

Hi

I'm using the Mail app in Windows 10, and found that mails with no contents (just subject and recipients) are not shown in the email list or search results.

It uses IMAP to connect to the mail server. I can see those empty emails on the mail server via webmail.

Please help.

Thanks

Charles

    Hello @Kwok Cheong Wong

    I did some search on this question, it seems there's no best solution for this issue.

    Here are some general suggestions from the community you could try :
    emails not showing full text in windows 10 mail app
    Windows 10 Mail App Not Displaying Message Bodies
    The Mail app in Windows 10 not showing content for some email services?

    And I also I find one user report, Click the 'Forward' link. In the new mail that is created the original email will appear. Close the forwarded email and the mail body will then show in the originally received mail.

    Best Regards
    Karlie
