After Mavericks Install, Mail has imported all mails into the wrong folders

Anyway to fix this without manually going through each and every email? I have over 6 years worth of email and now all the new mails, sent mails, spam mails have ended up getting filed away into "ALL MAILS."
It took two days to for Mail to upgrade and now it looks like it did a bad job. Any advice?

Hi Eric. Thanks for your response.
1. All the non-archived sub-folders already appeared under “On My Mac,” so they weren't hidden.
2. A restart helped, in fact. I first made a copy of the entire Library>Mail folder so I would still have all the .mbox content. Upon restart, Mail automatically created its own Archive. Fortunately, it contained all the subfolders in the manually created Archive mailbox that had disappeared. Apple apparently reserves the term "Archive" for its own use in Mail. I found another thread that arrives at the same conclusion and suggests a fix for a related problem: Re: Deleted my 'On my Mac' folder in Archived mail after Mountain Lion OS X update - all mail lost - how to retrieve?
3. I believe the answer to #3 is yes; she'll need to drag her non-archived subfolders to Apple's newly created Archive from now on.
4. I copied them along with the Library>Mail folder, so I'll have them if I need them.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

After Mavericks Install, MBP runs hot all the time

Im sure this has been said all over the community but I have to add my two cents. My 2011 MBP was perfect on Mtn Lion. I started the update which failed on install, which I then had to wipe the HD and do a fresh install. My time machine backup wouldnt even restore, that was a fun night let me tell you. Anyways, ever since I installed Mavericks, not only do I have the service battery issue everyone else has but now even running firefox or watching a movie will make the laptop run super hot and the fans start going. Ive even had the MBP shut itself down twice b/c of the overheating. Example: I almost couldnt even get time machine to make a new first time backup b/c the laptop starting running hot during the backup and it shut itself down. The second attempt worked but it sure seemed like it was on the verge of shutting down again. I just tried resetting the SMC but I dont think it did anything if you want my honest opinion.
I hope apple is listening and realizes what mess mavericks is making of our older macbooks.

I did do the verify/repair disk, and there is nothing wrong with the disk. Havent had a chance yet to boot in safe mode. Will post an update shortly but in the meantime:

After Maverick install Mail won't open all the way

MacBook Pro laptop had troubles upgrading to Maverick. Kept saying no updates available. Took to Genius Bar and they got it to accept Maverick so now I'm running 10.9.5 issue I have is with mail. It says the application Mail is open in finder and the top tool bar also says Mail is open. But the actual window with my email accounts and subfolders will not open. On the top top Mail bar I can not select any of the File options. So basically I can not access any of my mail on my laptop. What can I do?

Hey Eustace,
Ok the funny thing is I can not see that window at all, it never opens up. Here is what I get.So I only can see the mail application open in the very top main tool bar and when I select File drop down list or Edit drop down list, I'm limited on what I can select as shown above. Additional weirdness is I have another user on my computer and his mail window will open. Does the above make sense? I feel like its just some easy switch I'm overlooking but can't figure it out to save my insanity.
As seen here I can not change the status of my accounts easily.

Time machine won't back up after Maverick install

Installed Maverick today on macbook pro, then have been unable to back up to Time Machine to my Western Digital 3TB drive. Last back up was successful just before install earlier today.
Time Machine Error "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only.
and a second message
Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “My Book”. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.
First restarting after Maverick install I received an error message that the disk "my book" could not be repaired.
When I go to get info on the external drive, under sharing and permissions it sayes I can read only, and I cant figure out how to change this everything to try is grey'd out.
Any help in fixing the problem and understanding the issue.

I'm also having this issue. I havn't had it before.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mail in On My Mac disappeared after Mavericks install

Yesterday, after making a complete SuperDuper backup, I installed Mavericks on my lovely bride’s MacBook Pro Retina (Mountain Lion).
Everything went smoothly, and all of her various email archives in On My Mac subfolders appeared and were readable.
She decided to clean up those old email folders. I created a new mailbox named Archive at the top On My Mac level. Throughout the afternoon, she dragged the various On My Mac subfolders with old mail into the new Archive folder. She stepped away for a few hours, returned to continue the archive process - and the new Archive folder had disappeared. The MBP had not been shut down (and still has not).
I checked Library>Mail. Right at the top, there’s a folder marked “Mail Lost + Found” with lots of .mbox content. Just below that is the expected folder marked “V2” with the bulk of the expected mail components. Under its “Mailboxes” folder, the very first .mbox is “Archive.” All the subfolders she had dragged to that folder yesterday do appear in the “Archive” .mbox.
I hope someone will field a few questions, please.
1. Why would the new Archive folder at the top level of On My Mac disappear?
2. What should I do next? I’m concerned that restarting may wipe out the Archive mailbox and its contents, but I’ve read that a restart sometimes corrects Mavericks Mail problems.
3. Assuming I can get her Archive folder visible again, is she likely to run into the same problem if she continues to drag the remaining 10-15 subfolders into the Archive folder?
4. What, if anything, should I do about the .mbox material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? At least some of it appears to be duplicates of the subfolders in the Archive folder.
5. Is there a better, more stable archive solution for all this mail? It spans years, multiple IMAP and AOL accounts, and is - or was - neatly organized in subfolders by topic in Mail. Would Mail Steward be able to import this mail, keep the mail organized, and be as searchable as the Mail app? Would it be a good solution to import and reconcile the material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? Again, I do have her full Mountain Lion system, including all the Mail, on a bootable SuperDuper drive If that might help create an archive outside of Mail app.
Thanks!

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

Go to the printer manufacture website and download the drivers for your printer model for OS X v10.9 Mavericks.
Then open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Select your printer on the left then click - (minus)
Then click + (plus) to add the printer.

Lion Mail selects the wrong entry after delete?

Does anyone else thing Mail selects the wrong entry after delete? Say your scanning through your mail from latest to oldest, something most people seem to do. You click on an entry, read the mail and then press delete to move it to trash. Mail picks the next newest entry instead of the one right after the one you deleted. But you've probably already looked at that one and want to look at the next older item. So I have to select, delete, click the down arrow, delete, etc. in order to quickly go through mail, deleting the ones I don't need, and leaving others I want to go back too.
Seems like there should be an option to set what the next entry is after delete.

Applications close very slowly after Mavericks install

Everything working normally except all applications take about 15 seconds to fully close. Anybody know why this is occurring? Mavericks install was clean and all third party apps were reinstalled clean. Mac is fast

Lost document files after Mavericks install

After Mavericks install from App Store, document folders located in Dock are replaced with question mark icon; unable to locate files in Trash, iCloud, or Finder.
While I appreciate feedback on backups, never have had issues losing files before when installing apps from App Store. Please advise.

I have the same problem. It just accured today, and i updated to Mavericks several weeks ago. I cant open several folders in Finder but when i right click on them it say that they contain eg. 5 Gbit... But i still cant see/open anything in some folders.
Also yesterday (right before i realised the Finder problem) my computer was slow and acting weird so I tried restaring it, and after it sayed that my start-up-drive (or somting like that) was nearly full. It wouldnt start propoly after that, but then after a few goes I got it to work... I have no clue whats going on really..

Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it renames all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

(By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
29.95 fps = NTSC
25 fps = PAL.
BTW, this is actually the iMovie 5 forum, but no matter!

Multiple copies of e-mails in the wrong family account.

I have a family account for MobileMe set up with only two accounts, one for my wife and one for me.
MobileMe syncs 3 computers (iBook, new MacBook and a 24" iMac all running OS X 10.5.6) and an iPhone 2.5G and an iPod touch.
When an e-mail is sent to my wife, it appears 3 times in my InBox and not at all in her InBox. Messgaes sent to me only appear once, correctly, in my InBox.
Has anyone any ideas about what could be causing this? For instance, does having 3 computers have some bearing on it?
John

A further thought is that multiple e-mails in the wrong InBox only occurs when the sender has a mac.com or me.com account. I have noticed that "outside" e-mails addressed to my wife go into her InBox correctly.
But this may not be true of all e-mails.
Also, after making some changes to my Mail prefs, I am now only getting 2 e-mails in the wrong box!
Note: I was reducing the choices for incoming mail servers. No smpt.mac.com. Only smpt.me.com.
John

I use Microsoft outlook and want to stop getting mail into the apple mail as well

I have always preferred the microsoft outlook program and have never enjoyed the apple mail as I can't do the things I like. Plus we also use a PC for work and we need the outlook appointments etc to merge the way we like them to. Can I somehow stop the apple mail program for also getting all the emails? and if I can how do I clean it out without loosing and emails etc.

Just disable all the accounts in Mail or delete them after saving your mail into .mboxes. These can be imported into Outlook.
