All mail and folders dissappeared

Was working on my mac in mail when it shut down, now when I go back all the folders and all mail has gone Is there any why to recover all that?

They are probably hidden. I seem to recall that happening on ML installation.
Do you see your account name(s) in all-caps gray letters under the "MAILBOXES" list in the left sidebar? If so, hover the cursor to the right of the account name (at the right side of the column, under the unread message counts). If you see the word "Show" appear, click on it; the mailboxes in that account should be releaved.

Copying all mail and folders from one mac to another

I have a pop account that loads to my imac. all the mail is sorted into folders and kept there till needed. is it possible to take all the mail on my imac and transfer it to my macbookpro so i have all my files sorted when i go on trips? can i either upload it or do it through .mac? i thought i could just archive the whole thing like in entourage and reopen it, but i haven't found a way to do that yet. Can you help?

All your mail and mail attaachments are in /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail and /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail Downloads (unless you set up your Mail downloads to be saved somewhere else). While not hte most elegant of solutions, conceivably, you could manually afp-mount one computer onto the other's desktop (⌘k or ⇧⌘k in Finder) and drag those two folders to the corresponding /Users/inahayes/Library folder on the MBP. When you return from your trip, do the same thing in the opposite direction. However, an imap account would eliminate this problem, if you have the ability to migrate to an imap account.

My iPhone shows 1.0GB of memory used by Mail. I've emptied all mailboxes and folders but still show 1.0 GB

After upgrading to iOS7, I noted my iPhone 5 shows 1.0GB for Mail in the Usage list. I've cleaned out all mailboxes and folders but still show the Mail app as using 1.0 GB. Am I missing something?

From another thread -
Deleting mail from backup
In any case, I'm posting this to help others. I can't say with certainty what fixed this for me, but my hunch is that deleting (and then re-adding) the iCloud account on BOTH my iPhone and iPad had something to do with it. Or maybe it was launching/syncing via Mail.app, and/or giving it some time. Or maybe those prayers had something to do with it after all.
The funniest part about all of this is that my whole iPhone backup (with small Camera Roll) takes up 3.6 GB and my whole iPad backup (with even smaller Camera Roll) takes up 1.4 GB... so I'm still right up against that 5 GB quota, and will still end up paying $20/year for the extra 10 GB of space anyway. If only for elbow room, and if only for peace of mind.
So there ya have it.

How can I sort all files and folders by size?

Due to lack of space I need to find the biggest files and folders on my Mac OSX Mountain Lion, but "Size" is not in the Find options.
And I don't know the wildcard to sort all files and folders by size in Easyfind.
Thanks
Sarah

There are applications out there which are designed to show you files and the space they use. Some of these applications and some strategies for making more room on your disk are given below.

I am running OS10.6.8 and have a mail box duplication. I use gmail and when I open my mail I have both the Apple Mail and another set of boxes for Gmail. Both get all mail and when I delete from one, it deletes from the other. How can I get rid of the dup

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Internet Mail only says "All Mail" and "No Messages"

I have Bold 9700 with OS 6 and 4 different emails set up. I have work email with BES for Exchange and three different internet email accounts. All of them have been working fine until today. I have my icons set up so there is a different one for each mail account. The "Messages" icon is set up so that only the BES work email is viewable there. The three internet email accounts each have their own icon. When I open the icon for the problem email account it just says * No Messages * and at the top where it used to have the name of that email account it just says "All Mail". I am still receiving email to this account and I can access it by hitting the blackberry button, selecting Filter, and clicking Inbox. This is very inconvenient however, and I want to make it work the way its supposed to and how the other email accounts work. I tried the following with no success:
1. Power off, pull out battery, wait a minute, put back in and power on.
2. Pull out the battery while it is on and put it back in.
3. Delete the email account and recreate it (it just picked up the old settings).
Please help!!! I know I must have screwed up the view settings for this account but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Hola octaviolpgr.
Not sure what you mean by “I've just re-installed Mac OSX Tiger”. If you did an Archive and Install, your mail should all be there, just like the rest of your data.
Anyway, Gmail doesn’t allow the same message to be downloaded more than once via POP by normal means. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes.

HT1923 This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, and Users.

This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users. My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected mini dock and over Wi-Fi. It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

10.9 mail.app archive v. all mail and trash

It appears that there are other subtle changes in how the Mavericks Mail.app handles things. in 10.8, we used to have "All Mail", and it was exactly that - all the mail ever received, no matter what the disposition of the mail was. You could always could scan thru the all mail folder and find messages. Now, we have "Archive", which seems to map to all mail, but when I delete a mesage from my InBox, it is now removed from All Mail (Archive) and placed into the Trash bin, which gets emptied periodically.
Does anyone know a way to get the old behavior back? I want everything left in All Mail as it used to be. If I "delete" something, it just removes it from my InBox (or wherever it was). I don't see a way to tell mail.app not to use trash.
Help!

Thanks guys!
what i mean is: I want to set up an account once to use it on both devices, the mac and the iphone. a new account should automaticly appear on the iphone after i set it up in mail.app.
earlier i could set up an account in mail.app and check a checkbox in itunes/overview to automatically sync the account settings to the iphone (and vice versa). the account was then automaticaly installed and set up on the iphone according to the mail.app settings. when i changed the settings in mail.app they also changend on the iphone. the account had to be installed once and could be used on both devices.
to me it looks like i have to set it up twice now, since the checkbox to sync accounts in itunes/overview disapeared (with mavereicks?)
hope, i was clearer now :-)
best, philipp

Lost all files and folders on the desktop and also in time machine

All files and folders on the desktop disappeared, I checked time machine and even there are no longer present, even going back months.
How is it possible?

Difference Between All Mail and Inbox

When I do a search for an email in Apple Mail it'll typically show 2 results for each search. 1 in 'All Mail' and 1 in 'Inbox'.
Is there a difference between the 2? Is it essentially taking up TWICE the hard drive space?

The 'all mailboxes' indicates you're SEARCHING all mailboxes, not necessarily that there are multiple copies of a message. If you only have one inbox, then 'all mailboxes' is the same as 'inbox.'
If you have multiple mailboxes, here's where the distinction becomes helpful:
In my case, I have 4 email accounts, plus extra 'on my Mac' mailboxes that I've created on my sidebar. If I know that the message I seek is on my .mac account, I can choose to search only the 'Inbox' and speed up the search considerably.
If, on the other hand, I don't remember when or where the message came in, I can have it search 'All Mailboxes' and the system will look through all mailboxes from all accounts.
In your case, even if you only have one inbox, searching 'All Mailboxes' can still help, because it also searches the trash folder and junk folder (each appear as just another mailbox to the system).
Hope this helps!

The specified file or folder name is too long,the url path for all files and folders

The specified file or folder name is too long,the url path for all files and folders must be 260 character or less
can we increase this limit?
MCTS,ITIL

Hi,
As I understand, you want to increase the length of URL path in SharePoint 2010.
Per my knowledge, this limit cannot be increased. SharePoint limits URL length because all relative URL links are stored in the clear forms on the SharePoint content DB and often this links are used as primary keys to link one table with another. Fields
which are used to store these links (for instance tp_DirName from the AllUserData table) allow storing only 256 characters.
There are several ways that you can resolve or mitigate URL length problems in the SharePoint Server 2010 environment. The following list provides suggestions:
1. Upgrade all the end-user browsers to Internet Explorer 8, which has a longer URL length limit.
2. Use shorter names for sites, folders, and documents and control the depth of the site and folder structures to reduce the lengths of URLs.
3. If possible or allowed, use ASCII names for sites, folders, and documents. This will avoid situations where the URL will be lengthened by being encoded.
4. To reduce the risk that the SharePoint Server 2010 end-users will encounter problems because of URL length limitations, we recommend that you apply the following effective limits in the deployment:
256 Unicode (UTF-16) Code units - the effective file path length limitation, including a domain/server name
128 Unicode (UTF-16) Code units - the path component length limitation

AOL mail and Folders have dissappeared AGAIN!!!!

I just went to open my mail and it is all GONE!!!!.
All of the new and old mail. All of my folders and Saved mail.
This happened a few months ago but as soon as I went to the forums I saw a lot of people with this problem. I don't see anybody right now complaining about mail.

My mail just came back. I sent myself an e-mail and the whole thing was loaded again.

"Documents" folder is empty, all files and folders disappeared.

Hello there.
I was trying to install a software, and since it couldn't work, I was advised to remove different files.
Since then, seems all my files and folders from "Documents" have all disappeared. They're not in the trash, they're not anywhere.
I'm actually using MacKeeper to try finding them among deleted stuff. But so far, nothing has showed up.
Before anyone asks, I did not change my folder user name. Can't be this.
Thanks for your help. I'm in real ****.
Friendly,
Cyrille.

No I don't have any backups.
The software I am talking about is Parallels Desktop.
I had to remove those files :
rm -rfd /Users/~Cyberpen~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels*"
rm -rfd /Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Parallels/*"
rm -rfd /Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Parallels"
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats/*
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /Library/Logs/parallels.log
sudo m -rfd /Library/Preferences/Parallels/*
sudo m -rfd /Library/Preferences/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /private/var/.Parallels_swap
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/receipts/'com.parallels*'
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/qtsingleapp-*-lockfile
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*/*
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*
sudo m -rfd /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
I did this manually (didn't work with Terminal) so I had to go deep into the macbook and sometimes change permissions to access those specific files (I was probably not supposed to touch).

Problems opening files in DW CS4 - not all files and folders are showing

Hi!
I'm trying to change some already existing files on the homepage but when I click the Open button, it doesn't show all the files and folders, even if I ask it to show all files. When I open the ftp folder in Explorer, I can see everything. I'm using Vista and Dreamweaver is version 10.0 Build 4117.
Most of the unaccessible files and folders were created using Frontpage a long time ago but this also happens when I create new files, although the new ones I created used one of the old ones as a template. Any help would be appreciated! It's rather annoying not to be able to access all the files.
Thanks a lot!
Mathias.
