Lost emails, how to get them back from the Mail folder?

Hi there.
I have a folder called +/Previous System+ inside of this folder there was folders of the system I had before.
Inside there is the Applications folder, and I deleted the old versions of the applications such as Mail, but when I did this, I lost the preferences and the email accounts, the Mail application opened as new, without any account, I still have all the folders and .mbox files under ~[User]/Library/Mail but I don't know how to make the accounts visible in Mail
Question 1: How can I retrieve my sent and received emails.
Also the accounts that I had were POP and today I learned that the hosting provider suggests IMAP, so now I'm confused.
Question 2: What should I do? if I get the accounts back will be POP or should I create IMAP accounts and try to retrieve the emails there?
Thanks!

Fixed!
I imported the mailboxes
Import data from: Apple Mail
and everything went back into the Mail folder.

I did a restore from backup and lost all of my picture and videos from last night. Can anyone please tell me how to get them back from the cloud?

I did a restore from backup this morning. After it completed the restore I lost all of my pics and videos from Saturday. Can anyone assist in retrieving my files from iCloud? Thank you.

Have you not backed up or transferred your movies to your computer at any point before you dropped your old iPad?
If the only copy of these movies was on the old iPad, and that iPad is now gone, then so are the movies that were on it.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
I watch the youtube videos online.
How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
* checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
* extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
* or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
* Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-youtube-videos/

Restored my 4S. How to get pictures back from the cloud?

Background: I had a 3GS and on launchday of the 4S I picked one up. A white 32GB on AT&T to be exact.
I had been having some issues with the battery, so today I figured I'd try and start fresh. Well, I backed up everything on the cloud, and I also backed up everything onto the computer in iTunes when I did the restore.
I've got my music back. Cool.
I've got my apps back. Great.
I can't seem to figure out how to get my photos from the camera roll back. Nor do I know how or if it is even possible to get the photos and my old text messages back on this new restore. Also, none of my mail is coming back either.
I can see my most recent backup in the iphone settings under iCloud. And I can also see my most recent computer backup on the computer. But I'm not sure what I need to do.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

OK - understood.
There are a couple of ways of going about this. First, my recommended method:
Restore from a backup (so your photos, SMS etc are on the phone
Connect to iTunes
Set the phone to sync photos to a relevant app on your desktop (what app depends whether you're Windows or Mac) - this gets your pics onto the desktop and safe.
If you want to save SMS, use PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Windows) or similar to copy them off the phone
Restore the phone as a new device
Get the photos back the way you got music etc back - via iTunes sync
The second method entails using one of the utuilities around the place that can extract from the backup - I have no experience with them, so I don't know how well they work. That's why I go for the first method - simpler, more robust.
By the way, I came across this other method for SMS:

I deleted my pics on my ipod by mistake, how do I get them back?

You can go to the PhotoStream folder on your computer (if you set up photostream on your computer) and get them their.
If you backed up the iPod after you took the photos you can restore the iPod from backup.

Contacts disappeared--how to get them back from iCloud?

All of my contacts disappeared from my iPhone 4S--doesn't seem to be in response to a particular thing I did, they were just gone one day. I logged on to iCloud from my computer, and they are still listed there, but I couldn't see a way to get them back onto my phone. Can someone help?

iPhone Contacts: Sync iPhone Contacts via iCloud
Please note you must have had previously turned sync on for your contacts in order for them to be on the icloud server.
http://www.icloud.com
Sign in with your apple id and password and see if they are there.
if they are not there they are lost. however if you had a previous apple device like an iPhone or ipad etc. they may be on those devices.
Good Luck

My computer crashed so I tried to sync all my stuff to another computer and lost 300 songs when I synced my iPod to the other computer how do I get them back I don't have them saved in iCloud and I can't get them back from the other computer

Is there anyway to get these songs back also I had music that I had downloaded from emusic and installed some from CDs.

If they are still on the iPod then:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Otherwise they are gone and you will have to get them from where you obtained them before.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages. I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

Hello~
     I also tried to remove "air." package name in air application. And i encounter the same problem.
     I do not find any solution to decode the xml inside res folder by AXMLPrinter2.jar. And those xml inside is compressed which is unreadable.
     However, what you can do is copying the structure of res folder. And go to your air sdk file path - adobeair-sdk-folder/lib/android/lib/resources/
     Replace those file exists in your res folder. And copy "values" folder to your res folder.
     Hope this solve your problem~
