Emails Being Sent Blank or Without Content

Problem

When you compose and send an email in Airmail, the recipient receives a blank email with no body text, even though you typed content before sending.

Solution

Step 1: Check Your Signature Settings

Sometimes a signature conflict can cause the email body to be stripped:

  1. Go to Settings → Signatures
  2. Try disabling your signature temporarily
  3. Send a test email to yourself
  4. If the email arrives with content, the issue is related to your signature format

Step 2: Reset the Composer

  1. Quit Airmail completely (Cmd+Q on Mac)
  2. Reopen Airmail
  3. Compose a new email and send a test

Step 3: Check Formatting

  • If you're pasting content from another app, try using Paste as Plain Text (Cmd+Shift+V)
  • Rich text formatting from external sources can sometimes cause rendering issues

Step 4: Update Airmail

Make sure you're running the latest version of Airmail from the App Store. This issue has been addressed in recent updates.

Step 5: Re-add Your Account

If the problem persists:

  1. Go to Settings → Accounts
  2. Remove the affected email account
  3. Re-add it
  4. Test sending again

If none of the above works, please contact support with your Airmail version and email provider details.
