A whole batch (many months) of emails have disappeared from inbox

They tried the "repair folder" option and it didn't help.
They do frequent manual backups by copying the Profiles folder to another disk. Can that be used somehow to restore the missing messages, perhaps by restoring the applicable file? (How to determine which file to restore? They have about 3-4 email accounts in Tbird).
Thx.

I have this problem plus I don receive emails at all.
Correction: I think I do receive emails but they do not come to my Mozilla thunderbird screen.

  • Most of my emails have disappeared from mail Inbox

    Hello, last night my emails in my Mail inbox disappeared. I didn't notice at first because the last 10 days are still there, but then I realised that 4 years of email from 1 Nov 2012 up to 2008 (around 20,000 messages) are gone. There are a few for 2008 and then the rest  - I had emails back to 2005 have also disappeared.
    I am not aware of having done anything different last night - all I did was check my mail as usual -  and it was only when I tried to search for an email that I realised my inbox now contains only 300 emails. When I go to iCloud it is the same story. Only 303 emails in my inbox. Trash only contains a few hundred, so its like these emails all just disappeared into the ether
    I have no idea what to do or how this happened or what might have caused it. I run Lion 10.7.4 on an old black Macbook and have not installed anything new or upgraded software. I don't download unusual attachments so doubt it is a virus.
    Is there any way to try to recover them - my inbox is my filing system so years of important stuff is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    thanks

  • All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?, All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?

    Last night I went to check my emails on my ipad and noticed that all of my inboxes (gmail, yahoo and exchange) were completely empty. I logged on to each individual site on my computer and the inboxes were empty there as well, with no trace of the lost messages in any trash folders or other folders. Obviously this is completely unacceptable as I have lost hundreds of important emails. Upon searching online I found that other people have experienced the same exact thing  but apple has provided no explanation. As the only device that I use to access these 3 email accounts is my ipad I feel like it must have come from there. The chance of all 3 servers malfunctioning and clearing my inboxes at exactly the same moment last night is too ridiculous to contemplate, despite being suggested by the customer service advisor that I just spoke to. And I have no other evidence that my accounts have been compromised, and they have separate usernames and passwords anyway. Has this happened to anyone else? Or can anyone provide any sort of explanation? Thank you

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • My hotmail emails keep disappearing from inbox on my iphone4!

    I've read about a lot of similar problems but have found so resolution.  I will check an email, and a day or two later I try to reference the same email again and it's gone.  If I log onto a computer, all the messages are still there, they just disappear from my Iphone 4 inbox. I've explored every setting option, and no help.  What is going on!? My old iphone didn't have this issue!

    i had the same problem. but  i noticed that once your laptop email downloads the email it will go from your inbox in the iphone. it is this new setting from hotmail. you cannot do anything. but if u have anothe email address like gmail or icloud.
    first go to hotmail account setting from browser in your computer. in the setting you will see email forwarding. type in the alternate email address like gmail or icloud. u will receive email on those account which has come from hotmail. and gmail and icloud stays on the iphone.

  • Some emails have disappeared from my account

    My email has been working perfectly but recently some emails seem to have completely vanished. All suggestions appreciated

    Sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud) reboot and sign back in.

  • Adobe Paper extension for PS CC has worked for many months.  Today it disappeared from the Extension menu.  I reinstalled and received a "successful reinstall" message but the extension does not appear any more.

    Why has the Adobe Paper extension for PS CC disappeared from the Extension menu?

    And, of course, as soon as it isn't 3am, I realise that it is because I haven't run the programs in the background. Oh dear...

  • Emails keep disappearing from inbox on iPhone and ipad

    Emails are being deleted as soon as I open my email folder and I have to read them in the deleted folder.
    I cannot find anywhere in settings to change this.
    Any advice please?

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

    Your email data is in your Microsoft User Data folder in your Documents folder.
    User > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2004 Identities > Main Identity > Database
    Do you have a backup of this anywhere? It sounds like you deleted it.

  • I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. A large chunk of emails have disappeared. Time Machine is no help. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

    I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible  icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

    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 the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". 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 corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • I changed my outgoing pop settings and my stored emails have disappeared, how do I recover them, please?

    I am using the Mail app on my iMac in OS Yosemite 10.10.2. My talk talk.net account would not let me send emails, so I changed the  port setting from 110 to 25 and when I went back into my email box all but today's emails have disappeared. How do I recover them, please?

    Now I cannot access these photos.
    You need to update to iPhoto 9.6.1. Only that is fully compatible with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    You can no longer buy iPhoto from the App Store anywhere, and also not update it from the "Updates" tab of the App Store. You can however reinstall it, if it is showing among your Purchases at the App Store and associated with your AppleID.
    Sign into the App Store and look at the Purchases tab.  If you do not see iPhoto there, try to unhide your Purchases as described on this page:   Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
    If iPhoto shows on your Purchases tab, reinstall as described in this User Tip:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the incompatible iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the App Store by pressing ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    So move iPhoto to the Trash (don't empty the Trash), relaunch the App Store. The button to the right if iPhoto should change to Install on the "Purchases" tab.
    Alternately, you could migrate your iPhoto library to the new Photos.app.
    When you launch Photos, it will try to migrate your iphoto Library, if it can find the library.  Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it is in your Pictures folder, simply drag the iPhoto Library to the Phots icon in your Dock to migrate it to Photos.
    Photos will make a migrated copy, so you still can use your iPhoto Library with iPhoto.
