I'm missing mail in my Inbox from my .live account in Apple Mail. I'm using mbox with my hotmail account. If that made any sense?!

I'm all of a sudden missing old mail in my inbox labeled .live - I used mBox to set up my hotmail account with Apple Mail. It's not in the trash nor on my hotmail account online anymore. Hmmmm??? I already tried to rebuild and my mbox folder in the library seems fine. Anyone?? I only have about a month's worth of mail which made me think I had mistakenly selected some 'time frame' for keeping inbox messages but that doesn't seem to be the case. 

Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • TS4605 why cant i receive mail on my ipad from icloud, but I can send mails?

    Why can't I recieve mails on my ipad from icloud?  I can send mails no problems there.  This has only recently happened before it was working fine.  When I go to check for new mails I get the following message: Cannot Get Mail  The connection to the server failed.  Please help, this is very fustrating.

    I can hear that frustration for sure. I deal with it every day.
    I would continue to push the landline provider over and over and over. They provide you with the landline service. They cannot complete the call to your cell phone. Everyone else can. Therefore it is their responsibility to make it work or at least give you a reasonable detailed explanation as to why it doesn't work so you could at least take the next appropriate steps. Do you have a trouble ticket number with the landline provider? Make sure they give you a trouble ticket number if you don't. Without a trouble ticket number you will have to continually repeat yourself every time you call them. With a ticket number every time you call you could tell the technician to reference that ticket number.
    Like I said when you're talking with someone in a managerial position request that they do call traces while you are making the call from the landline in real time. They should be able to see what happens to the call as it comes into and leaves their network. If they give you any call clearing or failure codes please document them and repeat them here.
    I would also ask the Rep to also make a test call to your cell phone and see what happens. If they can and you can't then it is clearly a problem with a switch on their network.
    Good luck.
    P.s. I typed this whole message using dictation on my iPhone five so hopefully it all came out right if not I apologize if it sounds confusing.

  • HT1277 how do I show just one account in apple mail?

    Hi.  I have set up both personal and business (IMAP) accounts in apple mail.  How can I select just looking at emails from one account or the other?  I'd rather not have them all mashed together.  Thanks!

    In the left column of mail, click on the disclosure triangle to the left of the "Inbox" label to open the view, then click on the mailbox (server) that you're interested in.
    You can also take individual mailboxes (servers) offline to reduce the arriving traffic; I have a mailbox set up for mailing list traffic, for instance.

    Thanks, Chris.

    The .plist files are almost always preferences. I believe "plist" is short for "property list". It contains a list of keys (configuration options) and settings for each key, similar in some respects to the way the Windows Registry works, except that there is a separate file for each set of settings, instead of a single registry file as in Windows. In this case it's a shared settings file for Mail, but I couldn't tell you anything more about the contents.
    You were smart to back it up. Usually .plist files can be deleted without signicant loss, because they will be recreated automatically with default settings. But sometimes they contain important settings that may be hard to set up again, especially if you had help setting up your computer in the first place, or have lost important details that you'd need for setting up an app, such as Mail. But sometimes the settings are trivial, for example the position and size of windows, etc., and do not contain settings you'd care about, which may be in another .plist file or in some other kind of file/database.

  • How to setup hotmail account in Apple Mail?

    Just got a new 17" MBP... however I'm not sure how to setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail.

    You need to set it up as a POP account. Use the following details:
    *POP server:* pop3.live.com (Port 995)
    *POP SSL required?* Yes
    *User name:* Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
    Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
    *SMTP server:* smtp.live.com (Port 25)
    *Authentication required?* Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
    *TLS/SSL required?* Yes
    (Taken from this WindowsLive support page.)

  • "On My Mac" vs "My .Mac Account" in Apple Mail

    Hello Everyone,
    Since I upgraded to Leopard this weekend, Apple Mail has been acting differently than it used to with my .Mac service.
    First of all the underlying theory behind IMAP is to keep everything in sync on the server and on the local computer.
    Apple Mail has created the following two different worlds in Apple Mail's Mailbox: "On My Mac" and "My .Mac Account".
    The "My .Mac Account" is the account I created to setup my .Mac in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. But the "On My Mac" just popped out of nowhere in the following places:
    Trash
    On My Mac
    My .Mac Account
    it has also created TWO exactly identical Mailbox folders with the following headers and subheaders in the Mailbox pane on the left:
    On My Mac
    Deleted Messages (My .Mac Account)
    Drafts (My .Mac Account)
    On My Mac
    Deleted Messages (My .Mac Account)
    Drafts (My .Mac Account)
    Why it has created this in the first place and why it has created it twice nonetheless baffles me.
    I find it confusing between "On My Mac" and "My .Mac Account".
    It was much better before when in the previous Apple Mail on Tiger, we just had Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash. Simple.
    I figured out how to get rid of "On My Mac" in the Trash and the two main folders it created twice, but going into preferences>accounts>mailbox behaviors and unchecking all boxes that says to store anything on the server, including drafts, and trash items.
    But by unchecking all those boxes, not everything will stay in sync between my computer and the server. If I keep them checked, I get all those "On My Mac" stuff popping up in Apple Mail.
    What is there to do? Is there a way to fix this? Thank you very much!
    Nicolas

    Solution: Go to the User Library and search for the Containers, Apple's newest annoying "feature". Here you find the true Mail folder. Delete everything (unless you have any POP-Accounts, then this solution won't apply). Also go to the Mail folder in User Lib Preferences and delete it entirely.
    Then empty the User Caches folder to the Trash, don't empty it.
    Open System Settings, delete your iCloud account. If it cannot be deleted due to an error concerning AppleMail, leave it as is.
    Restart Mac.
    Empty Trash.
    Launch AppleMail. Create all accounts other than iCloud.
    Create iCloud Account by NOT using the template in the dialog list - do it as "other", AppleMail will recognize it and do the rest.
    Open System Settings, create your old iCloud acount again.
    Restart Mac.
    Done.

  • How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

    For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
    Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

    If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

  • Add account in Apple Mail greyed out

    After migration to Yosemite I imported added my accounts and imported my mailboxes in Apple Mail. This seemed to work fine.
    Now I want to add another mail account in Apple Mail (preferences -> accounts) and I cannot click the + (plus) as it is greyed out.
    I then added the account through system settings and it appeared in Mail.
    After a while (about an hour of inactivity) this account disappears from both Mail and system preferences.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Found this and trying it myself . . . https://discussions.apple.com/message/23992956#23992956. Sounds plausible but it is a work around. Apple should look into it . . .

  • Can't add Gmail (POP) accounts to Apple Mail

    I noticed a day before the 10.5.7 update that my existing gmail accounts in Mail suddenly stopped retrieving mail, giving "a server not responding" message. So I delete the accounts and try to add again. And again, pop server not responding. This was all on 10.5.6 mind you, and yes all my settings are correct under google settings.
    10.5.7 was released and I seen in the notes that there was a problem with gmail and Apple Mail in the past (no problems for me but I only used POP). So, like always, I repair disk permissions, download the full combo update and install. After install, like always, I repair disk permissions again before doing anything else.
    Same thing. Can't add my POP gmail accounts to Apple Mail. POP server not responding

    I have just experienced the same issue with a gmail account I setup in Mail when I bought my first Macbook 2 years ago. I've never had any problems with the gmail POP server before, until last night July 26th 09. Then suddenly a couple of minutes after successfully retrieving the emails as usual, it tried again and failed, asking for the password. I entered the password, but still came back saying POP server not responding.
    I did some updates yesterday, but nothing more than the one for the pro apps. I'm completely up to date with all Leopard updates. Also I've double checked that all is working with my gmail account and settings; no change in settings or password were made.
    Do I need to delete the account in Mail and recreate it from scratch, then, is that the only answer when this error seems to occur out of the blue?

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.
