Missing emails in Mail

After I remove Yahoo account from Mail in OS X 10.7.2, all the yahoo emails no longer display inside Mail. How to find them back/ They do not exist in the Yahoo Server anymore as Mail 'sucked' them out when I added Yahoo to Mail initially.

Ditto,
I have an Exchange, 5 IMAP, and a POP account. I only have the exchange and an IMAP set up on my phone and iPad, so I only know that those are acting odd for sure. Not really sure what the problem is. The emails are showing up in searches. I have a special "ding" for when my wife emails me and that sounds, but I can only see it if I search for it. The message, along with, most, others wont show up in my inbox...
I'm a part of the developers beta for iCloud and have iOS 5 beta on my iPad but not my iPhone. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I figured I should mention.
I really have no idea where to start to fix this bug. Maybe adding and removing the account, but if it's a problem spanning multiple accounts, that doesn't seem likely and with the number of email I have, it'd require quite a while to sync up again.

Missing emails in Mail - Lion deleting them?

I'm using Mail with two IMAP accounts (oneis gmail), and I'm experiencing a little weirdness.
I seem to be missing emails coming in, which I'm not deleting or filing away.
I got in late last night and checked my emails on my iPhone. I read one that needed to be replied to today, then closed Mail on my iPhone and went to bed.
This morning, I jumped on my Lion iMac and opened Mail - and the email I read on my iPhone doesn't appear in my inbox. I checked on my iPhone and iPad and it's not there either.
I didn't delete it or move it or do anything other than read it on my iPhone.
I asked on another forum, and one person said the following:
I am experiencing the same thing. I seem to be able to send email from the Lion's new Mail, but can't receive any.
I have several mail accounts in Mail and the problem seem to be the same with all of them regardless of whether on exchange server or not. The strange thing is that I can see and read some of the "invisible" incoming mail in my iPhone, but if I try to refresh my Mail accounts on mac, it may delete the new emails also from my iPhone! The disappearing emails are nowhere to be found and I have also checked the external exchange service mail boxes and junk mail and spam boxes.
Quite serious bug causing a lot of harm!
So it doesn't seem to be just me.
Anyone else?
Cheers.

Infrequent missing emails in Mail App

I am having one to two emails a day not show up in my Mail App on my iMac running Mavericks. This is a gmail address and these emails in question are there if I go to my google account and login. I even see them on my Android phone with a Gmail account. I am getting on average 10-15 emails sent to this Gmail address daily that come through perfectly, just not getting them all. I ideas what could be wrong?

I was having the same issue with my gmail account. I was scouring around last night trying to find an answer and I saw a suggestion to disable the account in mail, quit mail, restart it and enable the account again. Since then all my emails are coming in regularly again. Not sure if it will work for you but it's worth a try. I hope this helps. I'm runing mail version 7.1 and I have updated maverics to 10.9.1.
To enable/disable the accounts you need to do the following in mail.
Go to Preferences -> Accounts Tab -> uncheck the box that says "Enable this account"

Mail for Exchange and missing emails

Hi,
We have a problem with out Mail for Exchange mobile synhronization. All the mails are received in Outlook (Exchange Server) but in MfE some emails are missing. The missing emails are randomly selected inside or outside organization emails. Let's say few emails per day are totally missing inf MfE. What could be the problem? We have e72 mobiles, our Exchange server is 2007 and we are using Forefront 2010 to ISA connection.

Go to your outlook web access website and click on the lock and then view certificate. The details and then you can save it in DER format to your desktop.
Then go to this site:
http://www.redelijkheid.com/symcaimport/ and insert through the browse button and then copy the link to your phone.
Then you should be able to download it
You can also go to your IIS default site on the exchange server and directory security and export your certificate under edit certificate.
I have tried everything now. I can download my certificate and the valicert from GoDaddy, but the Nokia phone is still saying "do you trust this certificate" every time the phone syncs.
Our firm have taken the E-phones away now and went over to windows mobile and all of them worked within 10 minutes without any errors.
The funny thing is that when you try to call nokia, they wont help you with Mail for Exchange, and it is there program
I know my GoDaddy certificate works on windows mobile phones, so It must be something with Mail for Exchange.
Every guy I talked to about symbian phones have told me they always gives problems with SSL. I am a bit **bleep**, but can conclude that Nokia is for the private consumer.

Missing email after upgrade to 10.4.6 from 10.3.9

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Panther to 10.4.6. All seemed to go well except with my Mail. All my mail box folders imported fine, but my unsorted Inbox is missing about three months worth of email. I went to my backup on my trusty external harddrive that I made just before the upgrade and the email isn't there either. But the strange thing is it was definitely on my computer prior to the upgrade. I'm stumped. Any ideas? I've used spotlight to try and locate the missing emails to no avail. I'm just wondering why this happened. I'm pretty sure the email are gone for good, but none the less would like to prevent it from happening in the future.
Thank you,

Try this trick. Make certain you have backup of the entire Mail folder. This may rebuild things for you. Pretty harmless trick, actually.

Please list all steps to rename a URL in an email in Mail

Perhaps I should make this a new question instead of asking it on a reply to another answered question.
=============
HOW do you rename a URL in an email? Please list all the steps starting with opening a new email in Mail. I clicked on Add Hyperlink...in the Edit menu. I put in the URL. All that happened was that it put that whole URL into my email. Then I typed the name that I wanted to rename the link to in the email and highlighted it. Then I clicked on Add Hyperlink again and put the URL into that box. It LOOKED like the rename was an active link in the email that I sent to both myself and to my husband's computer. NEITHER email was able to access the web site using what looked like the renamed link. There has to be a way to identify the URL...AND "translate" that into the renamed link. All that Add Hyperlink does is let you type in the URL. That does not make it show up as something else. What am I missing here?
So would you mind listing ALL the steps in detail, starting with opening a New email? What do you do to indicate what you want to rename it to?
Thanks for your help!

I tried the basic copy and paste-myspace to comcast-but it just leaves the site without the highlighted link for people click.
When you are composing an email in Apple's Mail.app email program, if you paste in a full URL, including the http:// at the beginning, it will work as a clickable link in the email you send. However, it will not be clickable in the window where you compose the email, only in the email that your recipient recieves.
Test it. Type a full URL into an email in Mail.app, for example:
http://www.apple.com
It won't appear to be clickable in that composing window. But send that email to yourself. You'll see that in the email you receive, that link will be clickable.
Note: This is somewhat dependent on the email program your recipient is using. Some will block links from being clickable. That's not something you can control. But most email programs will allow it to be a clickable link.

Case of the missing email

A bit more info on the crash of my mail program this morning.
Re-entered the info when prompted by dialogue box to set the mail program up again (not sure if info was exactly the same as was there before crash)
I now got this message when looking at some past emails in my smart folders.
"The message from [email protected] concerning “Re: Next meeting” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
And all sent messages have vanished.
Currently I can receive emails but not send.
Seems to be several items in mail folder

Is old mail gone forever?
Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

I copied my .mbox which was in the Inbox of my accounts with missing
messages, onto the desktop, then put it in a folder and imported
it as "Other" into my Mail program. Then I was able to see the messages
in Mail from the "Import" Folder.
In my thread "Upgrade Lost Messages," this thread was helpful.

The computer at my vacation home is missing emails from may to late august

email from early May 2014 to late August 2014 did not download when I tried to download my email at my second home. I had not logged on the 2nd computer after early may until yesterday. How can I get the missing email to download?
Thanks,
Rob

''re:Pop account is what I use on both computers.''
Pop mail accounts access the server Inbox and if it locates new mail not previously downloaded, it will download those emails to the Thunderbird mail account Inbox and by default it will delete the copy off the server.
You can set the Pop mail account to 'leave messages on the server'.
It sounds like your other computer used pop, but it was not configured to leave a copy on the server. This would mean tht as that computer downloaded emails, it was also deleteing the copy off the server. So when you used the second home computer, it cannot download something that does not exist.
There are two ways off checking this.
Firstly, if you logon to your webmail account via a browser you will see if the emails are actually on the server.
Secondly, check both computers to see if the option to leave messages on the server is selected. I would suggest that you select this option so that you can download to both computers when using either.
This is where you make the 'leave messages on the server' setting.
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select 'leave messages on server'
if desired you can also select:
'for at most xx days' to remove older mail
and / or 'Until I delete them' to remove deleted emails.
click on OK to save changes.

Missing email in BT Internet

I am having massive problems with BT Internet missing email. It has worked perfectly for years but in the last two weeks many people have sent me mail that I never receive (not in spam). There is no pattern i.e. this morning someone sent me two emails, I got the second but never received the first. It happens with different people every day. To compound this, BT Yahoo web mail just deletes all the items in my inbox at random and they just disappear (not in deleted items)
Help!

There is NO, I repeat NO limit on email storage with BT Yahoo Webmail. Years ago there used to be but this restriction has long gone and as others are saying BT advertise that email storage is unlimited. There is a download limit but that is entirely different.
However if any reader uses the search facilty above and enters my name John1952 you'll find another thread in which I outline my problems with BT. I have been having serious problems with BT and Yahoo apparently randomly deleting emails in my inbox and other folders.
To start with I thought that this was my imagination but it started to happen so often that I became convinced that there was a problem. It was problem at BTs end which they admitted to and I solved it by buying and using Outlook to download and keep all my mail safe myself. Up until then I had no email client software so please don't tell me that I had something on my computer which was downloading and deleting these emails from the server. As a result of now keeping all my emails myself I have not lost or mislaid one email yet before this it was a daily problem.
There is something seriously wrong with the storage of customers emails. It is either caused by customers like me who have stored a large number of emails, I had around 4GB of stored emails, and for some reason the system has a bug that occurs with large storage or large numbers of folders, or its malicious. And don't waste your time talking to BT about it because they will deny knowledge, it will always be your fault and you will waste so much time talking to them that you'll lose the will to live.
If you are losing emails simply get an email client and store them on your own system......and back them up!!!

IPad mini is missing emails

Hi
I've recently purchased an iPad mini and linked it to two (UK) email accounts; hotmail & talktalk. Inboxes appear fine and update correctly but other sub-folders I've created in both email accounts are empty ... the folders are there but there's no mail in them, even though when viewed on a PC there a multiple emails in there. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi...I had the same problem and found that you need to check in :
SETTINGS - MAIL, CONTACTS and CALENDARS - DEFAULT ACCOUNT - this is the email account you want to use (you can only use one account at a time for emails as default)
Then go to -
ACCOUNTS at the top - Select your chosen email account and then set MAIL DAYS TO SYNCH - to -
NO LIMIT and include all the folders you want to synch under -
MAIL FOLDERS TO PUSH - by ticking against each folder.
Then hey presto it resynchs and all the folders reveal the missing emails...! It worked for me...
Simples!!
Cheers

Missing email from my iCloud inbox.

When I download eMail messages they downloadI And I can see that happen. However, the eMail messages do not go to my iCloud Inbox. Nor do the eMail messages go to my gmail Inbox.
Strangely most, but not all eMails, can be found in gmail folder "Important".
I also had the same problem with Mobile Me, unfortunely at that time I did not have a gmail account. Those missing eMails from the Mobile Me Inbox were never recovered. So I gaps in my email, weeks, or months.

To change the From name on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap iCloud under Accounts, tap your iCloud account at the top of the next screen, tap Mail at the bottom of the next screen, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on a Mac (if you have one), go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Moving an email on mail app which then disappears

I am running ios 7.0.2 on the iphone 4 and accidentally deleted an email on the mail app. I then go into the deleted folder and click to move the email back to the inbox. Even after closing the app, switching the phone off and opening the app again, this email is nowhere to be seen in the inbox on the device. Even stranger, when I log in on my PC, the email is there in the inbox. I thought it might have been an issue with how the email account was set up on the device, but I moved 3 other emails from the deleted folder to the inbox and they appeared on the device immediately. I used the search function and found the missing email, but the move email function from there wouldn't let me put it into the email inbox. I then moved it into the trash folder, thinking I could then move it to the inbox. I go into deleted, it isn't there. I go into deleted on the PC, it is there and I move to the inbox and it then appears on the device again.
Has anyone else come across this issue with moving emails between folders and if so, is there a quicker way you resolved it as it will be a pain if I have to do this for other emails as well?
Cheers
Stephen

Stephen,
My problem may be related. When opening the inbox, emails immediately go from the inbox to trash.
There are two things that have changed in the last few days.
1. After using the iphone to get mail linked to outlook mail on a pc for quite sometime, I bought a macbook and set up apple mail on the mac.
2. It's acutally my wife's phone and she said that she had deleted many emails from the inbox and trash.

Missing emails on Outlook 2013, not happy.

Bought a new PC and on previous PC was using Outlook 2010, new PC uses Outlook 2013. After synchronising with the server I have emails dating back to 2009, which is fine, but there are a lot of emails missing from Nov 2014-Mar 2015. No matter
how many times I hit send/receive they just dont show up in Inbox. How can I get these emails back?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the issues of missing emails in Outlook 2013, please follow these steps: -
Get the files from old computer
Put files on New Computer
Create a Profile
More Settings
Add Old Data File (.pst)
Finishing Touches
Signature and Stationery
Do you leave mail on POP3 server? By default Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 automatically leave POP3 mail on the server for 14 days.
Things to keep in mind when you are preparing the new computer: -
You really only need to move the PST and create a new profile using this PST, the other files Outlook uses are created as you use Outlook.
If you use Windows Easy Transfer to move your Outlook data, you can need to recreate your Outlook profile as the move process can corrupt. You can only move user data,
not the program itself.
Your accounts are stored in the registry and need to be recreated on the new computer.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
