All mailboxes in mail have disappeared

all mailboxes in mail have disappeared

I had a similar problem, which I solved like this:
In the sidebar, there are various main headings in gray. If I hover the cursor over those headings, I see the words "show" or "hide."
I went to the heading "ON MY MAC," hovered the cursor over it, clicked on "show." Voilà! All my mailboxes, which hold archived emails sorted by topic, are now displayed!
Now the question is: Why is there no reference to this in any of the help documents anywhere?

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after Yosemite install! HELP!

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 install! What should I do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server. Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page. If they are gone, then they are really gone.
Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago. Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones. My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted? (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

HT204406 I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it). The files are all on the HD. When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed. When I highlight a keyword, Get the message "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED". Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!
GFrey

Which operating system are you running on? Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Which version did you upgrade from? updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference? was unchecked now checked. Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked? At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked? yes
I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events? get groupings of files with those keywords.
Brian
Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly

All my g-mail messages disappeared that were stored in folders. How can I retrieve them?

I Have an i-Mac, iPhone and an IPad. All my stored g-mail messages have disappeared. How can I get them back.

If you had an IMAP mail account then all your emails are stored on the server, so install Thunderbird and create the IMAP mail account to see folders and emails on the server.
If you had a POP mail account then all of your emails were stored on the computer and you should have been creating regular backups of your Profile folder or at least created a backup of your Profile (and any other documents / images etc on your computer ) before wiping the computer/reformatting and reinstalling OS. So you can use the backup to reinstall the Profile. If you used MozBackup tool to create the *.psv file, then reinstall MozBacktool and use it to restore the Profile.
* Backup: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
If you did not create a backup of the Profile, but backed up/saved emails as .eml files saved to an external device, then you could use this addon to put those .eml files back into the new Profile.

All my Sent mail just disappeared...!

Been having a couple of problems with a Time Machine drive (WD 1TB MyBook) which have had me diving in and out of Disk Utility and DiskWarrior trying to fix it, but my actual iMac is running fine. However, I just noticed that sometime in the last hour or so, ALL my 'Sent' mail has vanished from the app. Mails sent since the vanish are appearing fine but all my earlier mails are gone. I have Mail set up to use IMAP Gmail but have not had any problems with it before.
This seems to have coincided with a hanged 'Quit' out of Mail earlier today. I'd quit the app and the window had gone but the app wasn't quitting. In the end I Forced Quit but strangely the Force Quit window didn't say the app was unresponsive like it usually does, so perhaps I shouldn't have done this. Either way, I'm pretty sure it was when I relaunched the app that all the Sent mail had gone, but I can't be sure as it was another half hour till I dipped into the folder to check the wording in something I'd sent that morning.
Any ideas?

Owen:
The problem may have been caused by DiskWarrior or the Permission Repair function in DiskUtility. Also there have been a number of stability issues with Mail after the 10.5.6 update.
Apple has just issued a fix for Mail under 10.5.6 - check downloads. If that does not resolve the problems you can import the sent mail using the Import function under Mail/File. You may also have to rebuild the individual mailboxes using Mail/Mailbox/Rebuild.
Hope this helps.

Dan Reiss

Help please. Some of my 'Notes' within Mail have disappeared? This is a problem, any advice or help is appreciated.

I have just noticed that some of my important and often used 'Notes' within my Mail app have misteriously disappared? The last time I accessed them was only a few days ago, and now gone! I have Latest Lion running, no iCloud sync at he moment and the 'Notes' were kept in my Notes sector in Mail. I have searched all mailboxes and files in Library... gone! Any help or advice?
Thanks

Just came looking for answers and understanding for same exact situation. You are not alone. I am very glad I did not have to waste time finding the right string or forum, BUT I AM NOT glad I lost a very important file.
Driving of a nice three hour trip Sunday, I put some great inspirations into a current note in my "Notes" program.
Immediately plugged phone in to computer when I got home, and immediately did a sync. Today, while out, when I checked my iPhone, the notes I entered the prior day were GONE! iTunes did NOT notify me of a "Conflict with sync" and well info gone, me very angry!
Plus, I did an experiement. I repeated exactly the before mentioned actions and the same result happened. (make note change on iPhone, plug into comp and sync in iTunes, remove iPhone from comp - with no "sync conflict warning message") On the fourth try (I was very aggrivated by then) I got the "sync conflict warning message." I repeated the test and its working fine now.
WHAT THE F(*&%!!!!!
I depend on notes for all my todo lists, inspirations, quotes etc...... I use this feature the most. What am I to do?
Is there a way to have only the most recent note be the update?
Thanks (loyal mac user for over 15 years)

How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

I have an iphone 4s IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
Where did they go? How do I get them back?

If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.
