Can't read some email on windows mail application

Frustrating! Windows Mail is a built-in email client in Windows, but it can be limited in its functionality. If you're having trouble reading an email, here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check the email headers: Look at the email headers to see if there are any errors or issues that might be causing the problem. You can do this by clicking on the "View" menu, then "Message Source" or "View Source". This will open the email source code, where you can look for any errors or issues.
  2. Check the email format: Some emails might be in a format that Windows Mail can't read. Try saving the email as a plain text file (e.g.,.txt) and then opening it in a text editor like Notepad. If you can read the email in the text editor, it might be a formatting issue.
  3. Check for attachments: If the email has attachments, try saving them to your computer and then opening them separately. This might help you determine if the issue is with the attachment or the email itself.
  4. Try a different email client: If you're using Windows Mail, try opening the email in a different email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. If you can read the email in another client, it might be a Windows Mail-specific issue.
  5. Check for malware: Malware can sometimes cause issues with email clients. Run a full scan with your antivirus software to ensure your computer is free from malware.
  6. Update Windows Mail: Make sure you're running the latest version of Windows Mail. You can check for updates by going to the Windows Update settings (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update).
  7. Reset Windows Mail: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting Windows Mail to its default settings. To do this, go to the Start menu, search for "Windows Mail", right-click on the result, and select "Run as administrator". Then, click on "File" > "Options" > "Advanced" and click on the "Reset" button.
  8. Contact your email provider: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that the issue is with your email provider or the email itself. Contact your email provider's support team for further assistance.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and read your email successfully!
