Why is the message body not displayed in iPhone's mail app?
Solution 1:
Has this setup ever worked?
Have you tried just using plain vanilla IMAP?
Is this possibly due to poor connectivity—maybe you have a weak network connection and it's just blank until the entire message downloads?
Solution 2:
Sometimes force quitting the Mail app forces a reload of the message.
- press home to exit mail
- double tap the home screen button
- tap mail and hold until the icon shakes and a red minus sign shows on the multitasking icons
- then tap the minus sign on Mail
On iPad IOS 8:
- Press home to exit mail.
- Double tap the home screen button to show running apps.
- Scroll left or right to show the mail app.
- Swipe the mail app preview up and off the screen to end the app.
Launch Mail and cross your fingers. This worked for me on my 4s.
Solution 3:
So i had this problem and i solved it. Basically you need to reset the settings of the network you are using i.e. Wifi or 3G. Once those specific settings are reset. Input any necessary APNs and usernames and passwords if required to access the net. Now restart your phone and then go to your mail program and Voila. It should be back to normal. It worked for me.

I had this problem to, I restarted my iPhone and the problem went away.
Solution 5:
The suggestion provided for Einstein solved my problem too (body of emails not showing).
Just to expand a bit on what I did to "reset" network settings, it was only a matter of going to: Settings/General/Network and there, turn "off" all the options ("enable 3G" and "Celular Data"). Then, just in case, before turning back on these options, I also went to Settings/Wi-Fi and turned that option off as well. After that, went back to Settings/General/Network and turned back on the options I had turned off.
The problem was solved right away, since I went to check emails immediately and found all emails had their body content available.
In case this doesn't work (I had tried other options I'd been suggested somewhere else), such as making sure the date of the device was right (which is another possible source of the "no email body problem", I adjusted email settings and had it show 5 lines of email preview (the max), which worked fine while I found the final solution written above. To do this, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down until you get to the email section, where you adjust the "preview" option to 5 lines.
I hope any of these solves your problem.
