How do i repair a corrupt email database

I have lost all my emails from the past several years and the Repair program will not restore them

Do you have a time machine backup?
Are you using the "Mail" Application?
Is the mail account you are using, using IMAP, or POP?

  • How do i repair a corrupt hard drive and i lost my install disk

    My Macbook started acting up....when rebooting there was a flashing file folder with a ? inside. Finally got to reboot, ran Disk Verfiy and my hard drive is corrupt. We just moved and I have no install disc. How do I repair my hard drive?

    With no install drive and a potentially flaky boot drive there is no guarantee of success.  Here's some schemes you can try.
    1. Boot in safe mode.  I believe it does a fsck (file system check) of the boot drive.
    2. Related to 1.
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    3. Ggt yourself an external drive and hope you can clone the boot drive to it using Carbon Copy Cloner (or Super Duper).  Then boot from the external and try to repair the original boot drive.
    Of course I shouldn't have to say that you should always have a backup (backups) of your drives anyhow.
    4. Contact apple to try to replace your installer dvds.

  • HT4915 How do you reindex a corrupted match database? (ie songs appear with the wrong artist, album & title information)

    I am seeing that my songs of uploaded to match are corrupted in the database. The details of the tracks have the wrong title, album and artist.
    But if the song is in a playlist it still plays ok, just says it's a different track, artist etc.
    Guess I'd like to simply delete the registry, and re 'match' my songs correctly.

    Can anyone please answer my question?

  • How do I repair a corrupted Organizer Catalog?

    The repair function under "Catalog Management' seems to never finish.  I get disk activity but no completion.  The optimize function behaves the same way.

    I had hoped that Catalog Restore from a Backup would fix what appears to be a corrupted Catalog and fix my shut down problem.
    I guess I will need to go a different route to fix the problem.  However, right now I am stumped as to which way to go.  Catalog "Repair" and "Optimize" both appear to run forever.
    Maybe I will just need to put up with the problem until something magic happens.
    The "Bring Up Task Manager and Shut Down Photoshop" work around is workable.  However, I fear the problem will progress.
    I was here once before but I don't remember what fixed the problem. It may have been migration to a new computer.

    How can I use Lookout 4.5 winthout hardware key?

    Hardware keys ("dongles") are necessary to use Lookout packages only in certain countries. I don't think you can use that particular version of Lookout you have without the Hardware key.
    You may want to get it replaced from your Lookout Sales contact.

  • How can I repair a corrupted Photoshop CC?

    I am getting this message every time I try to load a photofile into Photoshop CC. I suppose the program is corrupted. How can I get my CC back in action?

    When you open Mail, and go to the accounts, highlight the account giving you problems the click the minus sign at the bottom of the column to remove that account.  The click the plus sign and setup the account again the way it should be.
    See if that clears up the issue.
    Alternative is to reinstall ML, but you would be better off trying to straightern out the account itself first.
    To reinstall, restart holding the Command and R keys, then select reinstall, do not erase and install or you will lose all of your content.

  • How can I repair a corrupted Mail app in Mountain Lion?

    Let me begin by stating I've been experiencing several issues in the Mail app off and on. Today, I was having trouble with my iCloud.com account not sending or receiving.
    I go to remove and re-add the account under iCloud settings under SyStem Prefs, and I'm told that the mail account cannot be setup through the Preferences pane. I'm told to set it up in the mail app itself, but this resulted in it adding the imap version, rather than using push mail.
    I decided to go and find every mail app related preferences file in the library subdirectories,, and deleted the mail folder. I did not locate any other .plist file anywhere else; although I could have missed them.
    Can someone please point out what else I can do to clear out Mail of all data and start fresh? Now when I launch Mail, it displays my prior account info, in spite of the prior deletions.

    When you open Mail, and go to the accounts, highlight the account giving you problems the click the minus sign at the bottom of the column to remove that account.  The click the plus sign and setup the account again the way it should be.

  • Repair corrupt mailbox database

    I have a standalone Exchange 2010 server (virtual server in vmware) with a corrupt mailbox database.  The server (VMDK file) resides in a vmware HA cluster fiber connected to a SAN.  The SAN experienced a hard drive failure (RAID 5 volume which
    contained Exchange server).  Replaced the hard drive and the volume rebuilt without error.  However,
    after the rebuild the Mailbox database started blowing errors about being corrupt.  I ran a chkdsk /f /r on both the C: and D: drives.  C: drive was clean.  Chkdsk on D: reported that
    Windows replaced bad clusters in the file mbdata1.edb (mailbox database) file.
    I can see the following errors:
    ESE Event 474, 2007
    ExchangeStoreDB Event 203, 233
    Storage Group Consistency Check Event 254, 306, 401, 403 and 405
    MSExchangeIS Event 9782
    I ran an integrity check (ESEUTIL /g) which completed with errors:
    Integrity check completed.
    Database is CORRUPTED, the last full backup of this database was on 12/17/2011 08:44:37
    Operation terminated with error -1206 (JET_errDatabaseCorrupted, Non database file or corrupted db) after 631.407 seconds.
    I am finding [what seems to me to be] conflicting information on how to proceed.  It seems that I can attempt repair of the DB (using eseutil and isinteg) and risk possible additional damage to the file or create a new mailbox database and move
    the mailboxes to the new database.
    Looking for advice on how to proceed.

    Good suggestions from Simon and a few additional points
    1. Before doing any of the following I would ensure I made a complete backup of the appropriate files  i.e. the EDB as well as the VMDK to ensure you have the possibility to do a rollback if needed.
    2. Since this is a VMware system I would suggest to you verify the VMDK is without issue and there are different methods for this dependent upon the version of VMware that you are running.  Just do a search in Google for something like "how to verify
    a VMDK file"
    3. ISinteg is no longer around in Exchange 2010 so the most you can do is to run eseutil  to attempt to repair the EDB and if that did work you would need to do a move mailbox which has integrity checking built in as part of the move process
    4. That said IF the database is still online and accessible I would suggest that you;
    A: Create a NEW/FRESH VMDK
    B:  Then create a new DB on the NEW/FRESH VMDK
    C: Start moving mailboxes from the old EDB into the new EDB. NOTE: You may want to temporarily enable circular logging during the move process to avoid log build up and then turn it off post process and get a new backup.
    D: If you encounter errors in moving any mailboxes I would go on to the next and move all of them that you can and then come back and address     the problem mailboxes.
    E: if they all move then you can kill off the old EDB.
    F: of course you will also want to modify your backup process to protect the new EDB
    The other option as Simon pointed out would be to;
    A: Take the DB offline and copy it off to a safe place
    B: Recover from your last known good backup
    C: Then take that copy of the database that you have, make a new copy and use the MS Recovery DB process
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876954.aspx or a 3rd party product like Lucid8's DigiScope
    http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp to open the old damaged offline database so that you can merge the delta data into the restored database in the Production Exchange Server.

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files? 

  • How do I localize corrupt email file

    There is a corrupt email file in one of my mailboxes. I just don't know which one it is.
    I was able to isolate the mailbox in which the corrupted file is. When I put the mailbox's folder back in the mail folder (in preferences), start mail.app again, then rebuild the mailbox, it starts spinning and the whole mail.app seems to stall forever and forever until I have to FORCE QUIT. Before doing the rebuilding of that mailbox the app works fine.
    I've initially tried to reimport the whole mail folder into a newly initialized mail.app. That's how I know in which mailbox the corrupt file is as it started to import the different mailboxes and stopped at just that one. I even had the number of the file but to my surprise the numbers of the files in the "preferences/mail/" folder are totally different.
    I have more than 5000 files in that mailbox, how can I know which one's bugging?
    thanks for the help.

    Mark,
    If you open the Mail folder, and then go to the Mailboxes folder within (where mailboxes you create are stored, and assuming it is not in a mailbox in an Account folder), and open that xxxx.mbox to find the Messages folder, do you not see the 6583.emlx file?
    It is possible this file name is the one Mail is assigning during the import, and not the existing one, however, but I can't tell sitting here. In the original, what is the range of numbers on those yyyyy.emlx files?
    One way, would be to open the subject xxxx.mbox, then open the Messages folder, and then double click on each yyyyy.emlx file, to see if it will open in Mail. Mail can open individual yyyyy.emlx files in this fashion, but perhaps would choke on the one corrupt.

  • Database Integrity check failed, how to find an un-corrupted backup for recovery

    I got database integrity check task that runs weekly. The job ran March 23rd but failed on March 30th. We have identified that there is a corruption in database and now the task is to restore it from backup (with data loss). We have database backup running
    every-night and I need to know how can I find which is the latest backup that's not corrupted.
    The MSDN documentation says "RESTORE VERIFYONLY" command does not verify whether the structure of the data contained within the backup set is correct. Does it mean the restore command will not able to detect corruption in the database and I just
    need to restore each of the backs starting from the latest to see if integrity check fails after restore ? OR RESTORE VERIFYONLY will confirm if the database is un-corrupted ?

    As the documentation suggests, RESTORE VERIFYONLY checks the structure of the backup but not the database itself.  You'll need to restore the backup to check the database consistency.
