Access to old emails

Just upgraded to Leopard... backed up up all my files except my emails from my old version of Mail, which was probably very silly, because now with the new version of Mail NONE of my old emails show up in Mail, and I can't seem to find them anywhere in the Library.... anyone else had this problem, or have any answers, or are those emails lost forever??? Thanx

1. Right click on the account and select archive mailbox. Save it to your desktop.
2. Under the file menu, select Import Mailboxes. Select mbox files and then select the file you just exported.
3. After the file imports, you can delete the file from the desktop, and delete the account from Mail Preferences.
Your email is in a folder called Import/Mailbox name under the On My Mac heading. You can select all the messages and mark as read if it bothers you that they are imported as unread. I hope this helps.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance.

How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have had to create a new Apple ID due to my old email being locked/out of use. I can not access my old email/Apple Id to change icloud and imessage to my new Apple ID. Any ideas?

I have had to create a new Apple ID after having my previous email locked and put out of use. I have managed to change my purchasing for music and apps to my new Apple ID but for iCloud and iMessage I can not access my old email/Apple ID to change this.
Any ideas guys. Sorry if this has been posted previous.
New here.
Thanks

You need to delete them and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Can't access my old emails

Dear Madam or Sir,
I can't access my old emails anymore.
I use to have Outlook Express and contacted Microsoft.
The old emails are still there but I can't access them. Microsoft support couldn't help me to get them back and told me to contact you.
Can you help me with getting my emails back. Is there some software I can use to retrieve them?
Best regards,
Andre de Jong

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud. when I try to sign in using my password it says it is the wrong password.

If you are only updating apps, that's normal Apps and other purchased media are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. You also don't back up apps or music to iCloud, the only thing backed up to iCloud is your app data, which is part of your iCloud backup by default.
Is your phone signed into the old ID in Settings>iCloud?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
My apologies, but it's not clear what particular email address you're having problems with - is it the BTinternet email address ?
Win7 doesn't use OE, but as you've found out you can use Windows Live Mail, and there are other mail client programs you can use such as Thunderbird, Opera and many other free ones.
The old Orange email address can be accessed in BTYahoo (webmail), but you need to got through a verification setup in order to access it via that method. However Windows Mail is possibly the best method.
However the Orange email address may well expire after a period of time, and eventually be cancelled. It may not allow for pop3 access - in other words not be access from something like Windows Mail.
If you are unable to send orange emails within Windows Mail, that's because you are on a different ISP and need to got through address verificaton (see my shortcuts option 0e). However this does need a working BTinternet email address.
If the problem is the Orange email through Windows Mail, then you need to make sure that you have the correct settings in order to receive the emails. Can you check the pop3/smtp servers in the Windows Mail account ?
Apologies if I've got a little technical and some jargon speak.

URGENT:Must delete my alias but still access that old email in/out in past.

I MUST immediately no longer send or receive email from an alias email name i have set up on my dslextreme ISP.
I know i can do that if i go onto that ISP and 'delete' that alias. Then that alias will no longer be used to either send or receive, they said. OK.
But definitely want and need to still be able to see all the old email I have ever sent or received (over the years) in the past.
Doesn't seem right that it might be lost, all my old in and out records, and not viewable ever again in my 'MAIL' aplic.
I want to still be able to access and read all my old in &/or out mail.
My ISP tech support said I could delete that alias on their end, but if I maintained it on my Apple 'MAIL' it would be constantly searching for an inactive address and sending me messages every day that it was unable to find that account. That's okk, I guess, now that I think about it. I just worry that I must somehow still be able too read all my old past in and out letters. If I can do that I'll be happy.
Doesn't seeem right that if I make an email address deleted or inactive on MAIL Prefs, that I can never see those old messages again.
PLEAse help. Need to do it immediately.
Thanks

If the account was a POP type account, your emails should already be stored locally. If the account was an IMAP type account, then it is saved on the server, so if you will lose access to the server, you should copy them locally. If you don't know, you should be able to tell by opening Mail preferences to the Accounts pane. Select the account in the sidebar and look under +Account Information+. The +Account Type+ should be shown there.
If it is IMAP, you can copy your email to your local drive.
Look to the bottom of the Mail window sidebar. You should see a plus sign. Click that and select +New Mailbox+. In the drop down dialog box, for Location select *On My Mac* and name it. A good name might be "email from (alias)" or something that refers to that alias. You should see a new +On My Mac+ section appear in the Mail window sidebar, if you did not have one before.
Repeat the plus sign +New Mailbox+ command again and again, to create folders (mailboxes) within your previously created folder. Now copy your email as you see fit from your existing account email folders to your +On My Mac+ folders.

HT201342 How can I access the old emails in iCloud that are no longer on my device

I want to view an old email no longer on my iPad. How can I view it on iCloud?

Go to icloud.com on your computer and look at your mail. Chances are, if they aren't on your iPad you won't find them on icloud.com either, in which case they are no longer available.

What if I cannot access my old email address to verify?

I need to verify my Icloud account, but the email I have on file for it is for an old employer and I cannot access it. What can I do to get it changed?

I cannot change my iCloud email address to my new email address.
