Lost emails, where hath thou gone?

Hmmm, not all but just some emails have gone astray. I have searched in several ways and can only find some as part of an email trail.
Any ideas how this may have happened?
P.S. after recovering our emails from the Mobileme account in Feb, we are now suddenly recovering emails inadvertently from 2007... hmmm.

Hello:
A complete answer would depend on the Mail platform (POP or IMAP).
However, you might try rebuilding the mailbox (s).  That will take awhile, by the way, do not interrupt it.

    Hi there,
    Well, try contacting outlook if the problem persists with other emails. Also, there are links down below that are related to your article:

    To answer some basic questions posted to aid people in helping me. These are
    I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
    OS is Lion.
    I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
    There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.

  • I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

    Hello!
    I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update.  It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
    I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
    I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
    My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
    Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

  • Where's it gone?

    In CS3 there was a button in the preferences panel under the general tab that basically allowed you to switch off css and enable in-line html tags. It was a check box that said "Use CSS instead of HTML tags"
    I can't find it in CS4; does anybody know where it has gone? I want to uncheck it so I can create an email newsletter with the html tags in-line rather than use css.
    Thanks.

    Hmmm, in other words, it's been made more difficult to create non-compliant web pages. That's obviously great for compliance, but not so great when you need to create inline styles.
    With the check button in the prefs, you simply unchecked it and you could create inline styles without having to constantly declare that you want it so. Oh well, I suppose not everything changes for the better.
    Thanks anyway David.
    If you're doing a lot of html mailers, then keep CS3 also... IOW, you don't have to uninstall DW CS3 when you install DW CS4

    Worse still is adobe software I use for work won't let me open.
    Any ideas?

  • I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody help me and show me how to do that

    Hello,  I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody show me how to do that

    Hi surez,
    To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I cannot see toolbar with favourites, file etc so i cannot join any pages to my favourites. Where it's gone...?

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

    The email where security questions are being sent is invalid.  How do I change it. 

    You cannot change your Rescue email address after you have forgotten your Security Questions. Once you get everything reset, you will be able to change it. For now, you are going to have to contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • Re: HELP! URGENT! lost email messages!

    had to shut down due to time constrictions, sorry for pushing the need for help, but I was desperate to recover vital lost messages. I tried everything suggested in the Mail help records and past discussion posts. At this point (next morning) my mail is still lost.
    any suggestions will be appreciated.
    ORIGINAL POST:
    HELP! URGENT! lost email messages!
    Posted: Jan 21, 2007 6:29 PM
    I started, two days ago, receiving four of each message coming to me. I just looked at my accounts and saw two of my primary account (POP.ipa.net is the Incoming mail server), I'd never seen the second one before, so I deleted it.
    Went to my (Mac Mail ver. 2.1) mail browser and all my inbox and sent and junk messages now show the same message: "The message from [email protected] concerning “Receipt for Your Payment to (account name)” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    WHAT!!!!!!??????
    I went to Apple discussions and found a problem similar from today and followed the advice there by David Gimeno:
    "In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder, and look at the contents of INBOX.mbox and Sent Messages.mbox."
    did this and found nothing under either .mbox folder ...
    HELP!!! IMPORTANT MESSAGES ARE IN THE BALANCE!

    If you deleted a POP account, then all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes has been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    To prevent that from happening, you should have moved your mail to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving it in the account’s mailboxes.
    If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten. Actually, your anxiety may very well have already caused some of those messages to be irretrievably lost.
    As to why you appear to have lost messages from the account that remains in Mail as well, note that for each account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Deleting a mail account causes the corresponding account folder to be deleted as well.
    You should never, ever, set up two accounts in Mail with the same Account Type, User Name, and Incoming Mail Server. Two such accounts would share the same account folder in the filesystem, and deleting one of them would cause the (shared) account folder to be deleted as well...

  • Lost emails .not in any mailboxes?

    Hi I have not long had I pad but seem to have lost emails. They do not appear in any mailboxes

    Is it all or just some?
    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
