I have a situation where one person in the office receives some emails with no content or subject visible, when viewed in Outlook 2010. If viewed in OWA the content is there. If she forwards the "blank" email to another person in the office, they can see the missing text just fine. If the original message is CCd to multiple people in the office, all but this user can see the message. If she forwards to herself...it is blank.

Environment is Exchange 2010/Outlook 2010 (Office Pro.) Before hitting the Exchange Server the mail goes through a Barracuda. AVG is not on the computer (AV is Security Essentials, no Add-in)

Steps taken:

1) Disabled all Add-Ins (did not work)

2) Started Outlook in Safe Mode (this does work - the text of all the "blank" messages is there)

3) Checked the font/color settings. They are correct (automatic).

4) Repaired Outlook (no luck)

5) Completely uninstalled Office and reloaded (no luck)

6) Renamed Outlook folder to Outlook.old and rebuilt OST (no luck)

The line or two of text shown in the pop-up msg preview *does* show the text that is missing in the actual message.

Many, I would say most, messages come in fine, from within and from outside the domain. This happens to some messages from senders who have previously sent mail that was fully visible. It happens to mail coming from a variety of places (eg mac.com, att.net, & several private domains).

For now I have her starting Outlook in Safe Mode as a workaround, but obviously this is not a solution.

Hi,

You can refer to this kb below:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2934538

Read the section "Step 6: Start Outlook in safe mode", all disabled items are listed in this section from a to p. Basically add-ins and the NormalEmail.dotm are the ones we should consider first when it works in Safe Mode. As it doesn't work when you disable or create a new NormailEmail.dotm, we may need to troubleshoot further based on the list.
