How to restore accounts and Mail?

My Mail account suddenly disappeared (MacBook, 10.5.8, POP). So I reentered all the settings and logged in again. Many emails were missing so I deleted the Envelope file and restarted Mail. Now it is sort of back, but one of my accounts is missing, and I have many duplicate emails. I have TM backups; should I simply restore the Mail folder and not worry about setting up the other missing account? Seems the most straightforward solution. Any special procedures that need to be followed with restoring? (Why did this happen in the first place?).
Thanks

Hi there.
If you have a TM backup that is perfect.
All you have to do is to restore the mail foder and the com.apple.mail.plist and it must give you the previous configuartion you had on the time you made the backup

  • To ensure all invoices are accounted and mailed for

    Business wants to ensure all the AR invoices accounted and mail to customers.  Is there any standard report to see the number of invoices printed and mailed in SAP?

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks a lot.
    In house only but printing done by non-sap software. Due to problem with the software some customers may not get invoices. They will send mail or call. We will reprint and send it back to them.
    We want to automate this process in SAP or by atleast see how many are printed and mailed successfully in SAP.   So that we will compare this figure with the actual printing output figure with non sap software. Is there any standard report available?.

  • How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?

    How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?
    We have 817 EE on NT and one developer created a lot of procedures, functions and vews. DB was not backuped and archived and export has not been done - our fault and we understand it. Sorry for this.
    Ok, now the story: another developer dropped this db user and we lost everything: procedures, functions and vews. The new user with trhe same name was created and new schema was imported in this user, but all old objects are lost. We don't have export and backup and archive log files.
    Question: may we can restore this lost stuff from some other sources. We are looking for lost codes, not data. May be we can use redo logs or shared pool or any other things. Any idea will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The switch has occurred after user was dropped, the data has been overwritten and there is be no way to use redo log files.
    I would like to explore another opportunity. Is possible to use Shared Pool or any Data Dictionary internal information to restore texts of the lost SQL and PL/SQL scripts executed in this DB before user was dropped? Not too many scripts are executed in this DB and the lost ones may still be in stack. I remember that Shared Pool (cash) should keep last executed scripts in order to improve performance. They probably are kept in some special format. Can we restore these scripts? Of course they also might be pushed out by Import that had been done after user was dropped.
    Thanks for your help,

  • How to restore header and dock to Mail on MacMini?

    When using Mail I have to scroll to tippy top of page to get header to show. I have to Quit Mail in order to get Dock to show so I can go online.  This is a recent development.  Why?  How to restore?

    It sounds like you may have gotten Mail into Full Screen Mode.  Unfortunately, I understand that getting in and out of Full Screen Mode is different in Yosemite (I use Mavericks), so I can't tell you what steps to take to get it back the way it ought to be.  Sorry about that.
    Good luck

  • How to restore my 2 mail acc. after incorrectly moving back .plist file ?

    This morning my Mail was quitting 5 sec. every time time I opened it. I moved com.apple.mail.plist file to trash, started Mail. I got a message that one of my mail boxes(don't remember which one..) will be renamed.
    I guess I made a mistake by opening Mail and not Mail.app ?
    Closed Mail and moved back .plist file into Library/Pref.
    Here I made another mistake by dragging incorrectly, it was placed into some other program. I deleted the other program, and moved the .plist into Library/Prefer.
    As the result, my both Mail accounts are gone, and instead I have now MobileMe in my Inbox.
    How to restore my accounts now please ???
    Thanks!!!

    I have both POP accounts in Library/Mail. What should I do to have both POP in the Mail ?
    To drag both to desktop and then to Mail? how and exactly where ?
    or to create these two POP again in Mail and then drag both POP folders there ?

  • How to restore Emails to Mail from Time Machine?

    Does anyone know how I restore my Mail contents?
    I have restored my User to a Mac mini from Time Machine.
    But my Mail contents were not restored.
    I have not been able to find any intructions to restore my Mail contents.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Problem with .mac account and mail 2.05 (os x 10.4.4)

    hi!
    i am not able to add a .mac account in mail 2.05. system is os x 10.4.4.
    .mac settings in system preference work fine, on my cube with os 10.3.9 i can add the .mac account without problems.
    in mail under 10.4.4 i can´t even select accounts besides IMAP, POP and EXCHANGE. if i delete mails plist and even the mail file and achieving a "virginal mail" i just can select these 3 accounts (POP,IMAP,EXCHANGE). strange because if i setup .mac settings in system preferences before setting up a POP mail account (i have 3 POP accounts besides .mac), the .mac account is automatically set up in mail. but even than i can´t set up manually (another) .mac account (can´t be selected in account pulldown menue) as well as soon as i delete it it can´t be resetup.
    no way with new user, same procedure. i reinstalled mail from tiger-dvd as well as reinstalling 10.4.4 combo update and repair disc permissions. no way to get .mac to work the normal way.
    has anyone any idea?
    thanks so long,
    peter

    the empty folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level seemed to be the problem of not being able to activating the .Mac account in mail. after copying this folder onto harddisk again (i have a new "20 iMac at work with 10.4.4) the problem was solved. no idea how to get this folder again besides installing a blank 10.4.x install onto external firewire hdd or having a second system...
    thanks so long.
    i guess i made a mistake when migrating my old mail prefs from 10.3.x to 10.4.x blank install when moving the folders to 10.4.x maybe i have first choosen the ~/Library/Mail/ folder at root level and when recognizing that mail is not working with new user, i´m sure i might have deleted the whole mail prefs and mail folder on root level and copied the whole stuff again into USER/Library/Mail/. Therefore the folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level became empty. i purchased .Mac just a few days ago so i recognized this failure just now...

  • Multiple accounts and Mail 3.5 (Leopard)

    I've been trying to get Mail to get and send e-mail from multiple accounts using a single ISP (in this case, my Verizon DSL account). My older app, Eudora Pro, can easily do this (for both POP and IMAP), as it has a system called "Personalities," where you can setup a main personality (i.e., your primary ISP account), yet allow other personalities/accounts to use that ISP for the outgoing mail server. It seems that in Mail though, while getting incoming mail from multiple servers isn't the problem, sending mail from multiple accounts through one outgoing server (which requires what Eudora calls "relay SMTP authorization") is problematic. I've set up multiple accounts in Mail and can get incoming mail from them, but can't seem to send outgoing mail except from my main ISP account.
    Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem - My kids each have their own email account within their own user profile, and while they can receive mail, they cannot send it. Sending from my (admin) account is fine, and their outbound accounts are set up identical to mine. I love having separate accounts because I can control how much time each of my kids get (6 of them!)and I get to supervise content on the web but this issue and itunes does not allow them to play back any DRM purchased itunes - acts like they are on a separate computer, not a separate user on the same machine - all itunes are in the shared folder...

  • IPod touch duplicating Email accounts and mail boxes

    iPod touch 2nd generation running 4.2.1
    I have 7 email accounts and 7 mailboxes in the mail program on my iMac. I have the iPod touch set to sync all of them. Somehow 5 of the 7 mail boxes and accounts are being duplicated on the iPod touch. I don't use the iPod much for email and want to eliminate all but 2 of the accounts and mailboxes from it but I can't figure out how and I don't know why they are being duplicated.

  • How to restore Snow Leopard Mail with Time Machine?

    Is there a place that shows how to restore e-mail? Maybe to get an old e-mail and then to come back to the present - or to merge yesterday's e-mail and today's?

    That's exactly what I am saying. You do it just as I described in my first message.
    I am assuming you have Time Machine in your Dock or in the Menu Bar (or both). With Mail as the active application -- It says "Mail" in the Menu Bar next to the Apple menu -- and a Mail message list visible as the front window, click Time Machine. You should get message lists going back in time. Step back in time until you find whatever it was you want to recover.

    Hello, on about the second step, it doesn't give you a choice of POP, IMAP, or Exchange? Or does it change it to POP if you choose IMAP anyway?

  • Import of  accounts and mails

    I have made a backup of the old Tiger system, but have made a clean install of Leopard.
    I want to import my mailaccounts since I have about 5 of them and I can't remember all the passwords and servers.
    Also I would like to import my emails to the respctive inboxe's and (hopefully not) into an "Import inbox "
    Can anybody help?

    I can't directly answer your question, sorry. I do want to contribute to this thread though. I am about ready to install Leopard. I plan to do an "erase and install" and do not plan to migrate my user account. Rather I want tabula rasa. What would like to do though is to have the ability to bring back all of my mail (from assorted accounts and folders) into a folder (or some other mechanism) called "From Tiger."
    The plan moving forward would be to delete the messages I eventually no longer desire to keep and then just leave the old mail hanging around in that folder so that Spotlight can index it and I can find stuff as need be.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks,
    Rod

  • Canvio DTD21B - how to restore FIles and Folders on a different system

    Hi I'm helping my friend.  We backed up her old laptop's hard drive  to a new Canvio 1Texternal hard drive, but backed up the whole system.  The system is now defunct.  It ran Win 7. This is three weeks later and we have a new 17" Toshiba laptop running WIN 8.1. I can't seem to find a way to restore just her FIles and Folders to the new system.  I do not want to overwrite the Win 8.1 operating system so do not want to do a full restore. Her Files and FOlders are important to her so I would appreciate your adice as to how to restore just that data. I can't find anything in HELP or on this forum that addresses this issue.
