Mail - restore inbox

I have 2 problems:
1 - I have sopped pulling mail from my pop account in the last week. I have verified that I don't have a password problem. I've gone to the ISP web site and seen that I have 150+ mails there. When Mail checks for messages it lists the number of messages but does not pull them. I've removed and re-added the account but this did not resolve my problem. In fact is led to this problem.....
2 - All the mail in my inbox disappeared when I removed & re-added my account information. If I go into Time Machine what do I need to restore to get those messages back?
Thanks for the time & help.

Problem in sending mail to inbox

I know this may be not a rite place to post the forum,but considering the
replies for today in javamail ,i feel this is much better place to ask my
problem.
I coded a jsp which is used to send mail to providers like yahoo.com,
hotmail etc.But problem is that mail goes to junk folder.
After playing the from: field though yahoo shows some success rate
but hotmail always make it junk and sometimes not even accepts.
How can i send mail to inbox only.

Some mail providers require you to have a reverse DNS listings for your servers. I believe hotmail is one such provider.

I have old QuickMail Pro on my old iMac OS 9. Can Quick Mail's inbox, outbox and sent mail be downloaded onto an external hard drive?

I have QuickMail Pro on my old iMac OS 9. Can Quick Mail's inbox, outbox and sent mail be downloaded onto an external hard drive? If so, how? I tried to drag and drop but that didn't work.

Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic. When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also. If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO. This was never before say one or two months before.
The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.
Regards
Venkat

I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD". Now the Trash is empty. I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat

Fetching all mails in Inbox from Exchange Web Services Managed API and storing them as a .eml files

I want to fetch all mails in the Inbox folder using EWS Managed API and store them as .eml.
I can store file once I get the file content as a byte[] will
not be difficult, as I can do:
File.WriteAllBytes("c:\\mails\\"+mail.Subject+".eml",content);
The problem will be to fetch (1) all mails with (2)
all headers (like from, to, subject) (I am keeping information of those values of from, to and
other properties somewhere else, so I need them too) and (3)byte[]
EmailMessage.MimeContent.Content. Actually I am lacking understanding of
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemView,
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.BasePropertySet and
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemSchema
thats why I am finding it difficult.
My primary code is:
When I create PropertySet as
follows:
PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, ItemSchema.MimeContent);
I get following exception:
The property MimeContent can't be used in FindItem requests.
I dont understand
(Q1) What these ItemSchema and BasePropertySet are
(Q2) And how we are supposed to use them
So I removed ItemSchema.MimeContent:
PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
I wrote simple following code to get all mails in inbox:
ItemView view = new ItemView(50);
view.PropertySet = properties;
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults;
List<EmailMessage> emails = new List<EmailMessage>();
do
findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
foreach (var item in findResults.Items)
emails.Add((EmailMessage)item);
Console.WriteLine("Loop");
view.Offset = 50;
while (findResults.MoreAvailable);
Above I kept page size of ItemView to
50, to retrieve no more than 50 mails at a time, and then offsetting it by 50 to get next 50 mails if there are any. However it goes in infinite loop and continuously prints Loop on
console. So I must be understanding pagesize and offset wrong.
I want to understand
(Q3) what pagesize, offset and offsetbasepoint in ItemView constructor
means
(Q4) how they behave and
(Q5) how to use them to retrieve all mails in the inbox
I didnt found any article online nicely explaining these but just giving code samples. Will appreciate question-wise explanation despite it may turn long.

1) With FindItems it will only return a subset of Item properties see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508824(v=exchg.80).aspx for a list and explanation. To get the mime content you need to use a GetItem (or Load) I would suggest you read
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2010/03/16/loading-properties-for-multiple-items-with-one-call-to-exchange-web-services.aspx which also covers of paging as well.
3) offset is from the base your setting the offset to 50 each time which means your only going to get the 50 items from the offset of 50 which just creates an infinite loop. You should use
view.Offset
= +50;
to increment the Offset although it safer to use
view.Offset += findResults.Items.Count;
which increments the offset based on the result of the last FindItems operation.
5) try something like
ItemView iv = new ItemView(100, 0);
FindItemsResults<Item> firesults = null;
PropertySet psPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly);
iv.PropertySet = psPropSet;
PropertySet itItemPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly) { ItemSchema.MimeContent, ItemSchema.Subject, EmailMessageSchema.From };
do
firesults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, iv);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(firesults.Items, itItemPropSet);
foreach(Item itItem in firesults){
Object MimeContent = null;
if(itItem.TryGetProperty(ItemSchema.MimeContent,out MimeContent)){
Console.WriteLine("Processing : " + itItem.Subject);
iv.Offset += firesults.Items.Count;
} while (firesults.MoreAvailable);
Cheers
Glen
.Offset += fiFitems.Items.Count;

Mail to inbox on new workitem

Hi,
Whenever a workitem is created in SAP office inbox a mail should be sent to users inbox(outlook/lotusnotes) informing about the new workitem for approval. But in my case the mail is not coming to the inbox. I checked all the configurations and everthing looks fine.
Also the user is able to recieve mails to his inbox(lotusnotes) for other workflows.
What can be the reason for not getting mails to inbox.
Regards
MS

How you are sending mails for new Workitem. Are you running RSWUWFML2 to generate mails for workitem . If yes please check whether the Task has been maiintained as a variant when running the program.
Also if the workitem is manually forwarded you will not get the mail.
Thanks

Mail crashed, inboxes & contents gone. How do I restore fr backup drive?

Mail crashed late last night. When it re-opened, it said:
"New settings have been created for this application." And it asked me whether I wanted to use the new ones or the old ones.
It did not explain what that meant - are the "new settings" my personal settings, as opposed to factory default settings, or are the "new settings" ones created by Mail right then, right after the crash?
I couldn't find an answer on the forums, so I just chose one, and I chose wrongly, because now my setup is GONE. My inboxes, outboxes, draft boxes, and their contents - wiped out.
Now, I'm pretty sure there is a way to restore what I have on my backup drive --luckily I backed up Saturday -- and then download messages since Saturday again from the related remote servers.
But I don't know how.
And I have been trolling this forum for hours trying to figure out how.
There's some trick with the library, isn't there, so that the old messages will be able to be viewed in the Mail window, instead of bundled in one big file?
I know I could re-set up new mailboxes with the settings from the ISP, but that would only net me the mail that's on those current servers, which is a drop in the bucket, and anyway I can send and receive current emails via the web interfaces. The key is to get back all the old emails too!
Help!

I don't understand all that. I speak only grade school level computer-ese. : )
No problem, we'll try to "connect" here on whatever level is needed!
Is there somewhere else they would be?
That's why the EasyFind and searching for .emlx might help us.
then won't it start repairing permissions on my HD, for everything, in general?
No actually, just System related files and Applications... more insurance than anything else.
Or do you think the mailboxes and the emails are somewhere, but just not in the library?
After we prepare, insure, and search as above, we can work on that part.
Also, what does it do to move the Mail cache and the envelope index to the desktop and then reboot? Aren't those going to be essentially empty?
They may be empty, or they may be corrupt, just making them essentially useless or appear empty, we don't know yet, but upon reboot & starting Mail again, it'll make new fresh copies... which may also be empty, but should take corruption out of the picture.
Sorry to probe -- I'm quite skittish about just wading in and trying things, since, obviously, one click of the wrong button can obliterate tons of data and lead to hours of frustration. : )
Don't be soory at all, the more questions you ask the better.
If worried about losing anything that may be there now...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
One queston, is there any entries in System Preferences>.Mac, even for a trial account?

How to use Mail - the inbox

Verizon is my ISP. The email I download from there is correctly transferred to my Mail account on my MacBook Pro. I let the mail sit in my inbox until I decide to get rid of it - at least that is the plan and the way I have been doing it for many years. As it is the new year I have decided to do housekeeping. My Apple Mail inbox idicates I have 24844 messages of messages and unread messages to go down by 1. That doesn't happen. I do not want to count the messages in my inbox, but I do not believe I have 20030. If I select a large number and delete them - they no longer show up in my Inbox, but I can't get any of the numbers listed on my inbox to go down. 1) where is the mail? 2) I wouldn't mind deleting everything in my inbox and starting from scratch, but I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help?

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 anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. 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 damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Mail Crashed - Inbox Deleted - Trying Data Recovery - Help

I am running a G4 Powerbook 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11 locked up and crashed. My old Inbox is wiped out. Last July, I accidentally deleted my Sent emails but that was intentional (as in I thought I was in the Trash window, selected All and Deleted but as I was in my Sent window, that's what got deleted). I bought Data Rescue II and was able to restore almost all of my deleted Sent email.
So I tried to do the same today. I recovered large "mail" files to the CBR folder. These files are marked as Mail-00034.mbox where the number goes up. Some files are 100MB while others are smaller. I also recovered the INBOX.mbox file but I cannot import either file type into Mail (as in the Import Mailbox function).
I have recovered plenty of big files but none that can be imported into mail. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance

The current INBOX.mbox contents include
content_index 128K
Info.plist 4K
mbox 236K
mbox.SKindex 30.3MB
mbox.SKindex.isValid 0K
tableofcontents 4K
The file size of the mbox.SKindex does not make complete sense as I have only about a dozen or so emails currently in my INBOX (those received after the crash). Either way, the entire INBOX file is way too small (compared with a 1.2G SENT box). I believe the INBOX file size was around 900MB prior to the crash.
As for what the Data Recovery II program found, it recovered a folder called CBR and in it is a folder called Mail, and in that a folder called AppleMail, and in that about 120 files (using the mailbox icon) all labeled "Mail-######.mbox" where the ###### refers to 00001 (the first file) up to 00120 (the last file). File sizes vary from several at 100MB down to 1MB. There is a great deal of data there. When I try and import these files into Mail, the import seems to work but the IMPORT folder is empty.
Data Recovery also got a INBOX.mbox file that when opened, is blank. It too reads as 30.3MB (vs. the 30.7MB INBOX.mbox file noted above). When this is opened, there are 0 emails in it.

Mail in inbox has disappeared

I use Apple Mail with Panther 10.3.9. Mail was open and the machine got hung up (spinning beach ball) I could not force quit anything, it was completely unresponsive, so I shut down and restarted. When I re-launched Mail, the contents of my main POP account were gone. No other folders were affected. I tried to restore it by deleting all contents of the inbox.mbox file except the mbox file (7.9 MB) and then putting the inbox.mbox in the home/library/mail/POP account folder and restarting mail, but it did not work. All I got was a new, empty folder/mailbox named INBOX which is empty. I opened the mbox file in text edit, and it was all of my messages, so they are there, I just need to get them back into mail message format. I have over 20G of free space on the drive. Anybody have any other suggestions to restore my messages? Thanks in advance!

Not sure what the situation is now, but here’s what I would have suggested to solve the original problem.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a copy of Inbox), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
4. Open Mail. A new empty INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will allow you to continue using Mail normally while trying to solve the problem.
Although INBOX.mbox appears to be a file, it’s actually a special kind of folder (a package) that contains several files. Ctrl-click on INBOX.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains. Of these files, mbox is the most important and is where all your messages are stored. What’s the size of that file? Depending on its size, you may or may not be able to directly import it back into Mail in the next step.
An Incoming_Mail file may also be present, in which case it might contain messages that Mail couldn’t transfer to mbox. Incoming_Mail is also a standard mbox file like mbox proper, just named differently, and can be imported back into Mail in the same way.
5. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import the INBOX.mbox that’s on the Desktop. I’m not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.x are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox or something like that, so that Mail looks at the mbox file only (and Incoming_Mail, if present) and ignores the other files in the package.
If Mail doesn’t let you select INBOX.mbox in step 5 because it’s a package instead of a plain folder, rename INBOX.mbox to just INBOX (i.e. remove the .mbox suffix) so that it becomes a normal folder, and try again. You cannot do this directly in the Finder because removing a suffix by normal means causes the Finder to hide the suffix instead of renaming the file. To remove the suffix from the name, you must do File > Get Info (⌘I) on the file and change the name there.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username). Hence, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username/Library).

Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
I would appreciate you help on this issue.

The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
"MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
And thank you for answering my queries.
