Accidentally deleted apple mail

Hello, I accidentally deleted the apple mail that comes on the computer. Is there a way to redownload it without having to do a complete system restore?

No, you can't download it. You will need to download a shareware utility called Pacifist from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract a fresh copy of Mail from the file archives on your OS X Installer Disc. The archives will be in the /System/Installations/ folder.

  • Accidental Delete of Mail.app

    Hi,
    I accidentally deleted my Mail application. What do I do to recover or reinstall mail.app, without overriding the emails and setting saved in my system/library.
    PLEASE HELP.

    I'm happy to report that you are safe so as long as you didn't touch or delete any of the preference files for Mail in the library or preferences folders.
    What you're going to have to do though is find your original system restore discs (the grey ones that came with your computer at purchase) to reinstall Mail.
    Apple Discussions board user, Cornelius, previously recommended this application called "Pacifist" in order to extract specific files from a restore/installation disc. You can use it to find the Mail.app and restore it onto your Mac.

    Upon reinstallation and startup of the Mail application, it should automatically detect the old settings and e-mails and work right away.
    Maybe you should back up your Mail preferences files before running the application for the first time, just in case it happens to reset things or override the old settings.

  • Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine.  I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard.  The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard.  Any thoughts?

    I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
    Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
    Can you post a screenshot?
    I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
    Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox.  You can then move them into the desired location.

  • Accidentally Deleted the Mail Icon on IMac

    I accidentally deleted the Mail icon on my IMac. I can't find it in "Applications" folder either, so maybe I deleted something more serious?!
    How do I reinstall the mail icon or find the application in my system?
    Thanks.

    Perform a custom install from the Mac OS X 10.4 disk and install only that component if possible; if not, use Pacifist to install it. In either case, run the combo updater for your Mac OS X version afterward.

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • Help! Accidentally deleted Apple id, can't restore iPad

    Help! When trying to change the apple id on icloud, I accidentally deleted my sister's apple id, to which my ipad 2 was linked. I have since created my own account, and tried to restore the ipad, but it won't let me because it asks for the password of the previous "owner" of the ipad, and I can't access it because it no longer exists. I am not from the US, and thus can't call to get help.
    Please help me!

    Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase/download them originally. So they will always require that ID to update.
    Why did your old Id become unusable?  If it was because the email is no longer functional, you can go to appleid.apple.com to update it, and keep your aple ID functional with a new email address attached to it.

  • Accidentally deleted e-mail account, won't re-download my e-mails?

    In Mail, I accidentally deleted an e-mail account. After re-adding it, I noticed that it wouldn't download my e-mails anymore. I logged into the web-based e-mail and all my e-mails were still there. Is there any way I can re-download my e-mails again? I'm using Gmail.

    Greetings,
    If you're using IMAP mail, try this:
    Quit Mail if it's running.
    Go to Home/Library/Mail and remove the mailbox folder for that account (it starts with IMAP-).
    Restart Mail and it should download the email again.
    If you're using POP email, you may be able to download them again if you access your Gmail account on the web and mark all the messages as Unread first, then try restarting Mail.

  • Accidental delete of mail

    I was editing an email to print a copy and send snail mail. When I highlighted the signature portion to delete it and hit delete, the whole email disappeared. It was in my sent box. Since disappearing I cannot find it, even in the trash. No, Time Machine was not running. Suggestions. PS It still was in preview until I printed a hard copy, but now is gone.

    Is that the Install Disk?

  • Accidentally Deleted Junk Mail

    My Mail account is set up to automatically delete items in the Junk folder after one day. Sadly there were a couple of mails that WERE NOT junk and they have now been automatically deleted. How do I retreive them please?
    I note that junk mails neither go into the Trash in Mail, nor into the main Trash bin in the Dock. Where do deleted emails actually go?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Messages automatically erased from Junk according to your settings don’t go anywhere. What would be the point of moving them to the Trash? Mail is just doing what you’ve told it to do, i.e. erase the messages after the specified amount of time.
    There is a small chance that the messages haven't actually been erased, though.
    For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores messages sequentially in an mbox file within the *.mbox package associated with the mailbox -- you can see the files contained in an *.mbox package by ctrl-cliking on it in the Finder and choosing Show Package Contents from the contextual menu that appears.
    When a message is removed from a mailbox in Mail 1.x, the actual message may be completely erased from the mbox file (in which case it cannot be recovered), or it may remain there just marked for deletion in one of the other supporting files within the *.mbox package.
    In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes. I’m not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.3 are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox, or something like that. Follow the instructions to import the Junk.mbox package that’s within the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
    Importing as Other / Standard mbox causes Mail to look at the mbox file only, ignoring the supporting files that keep track of which messages are read/unread, marked for deletion, etc., thus causing any previously deleted messages that might remain there to reappear.

  • Accidentally deleted all mail from one account - how to retrieve?

    I apparently deleted all of the mail from one of my email accounts on the iPhone. They are not showing up in the Trash folder.
    The emails are still present in Entourage and have not been deleted from the server.
    Is there any way to bring them back into the iPhone? I really need them for my on-the-go responses since I spend half my life waiting in offices!
    Thanks,
    roxpat

    OK - another update.
    If the message is downloaded into Entourage first then it won't downloaded onto my iPhone at all. I haven't made any changes to my account.
    ideas?

  • HT204053 Accidentally deleted Apple ID account

    My wife accidentially deleted her apple id account. She has  lost contact information on her phone and when she tries to login with her old details it does not recognise them. Is there anyway she can retrieve the account?
    Hope someone can help, thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willie.
    You can't delete iCloud accounts, you can only remove them from your device and should be able to easily add them back by logging in again.
