ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

mozilla ask me if I want to compact, I click yes . . Then, ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

Any time mail disappears from the server, there's a pretty good chance there's some device pulling it off. This can happen even without you intending it to. For example, the default Verizon setup for a long time (and possibly still) configured Outlook automatically unless you were paying attention and unchecked the box during the install.
The easiest way to fix it is to change your password. Once the device(s) can no longer authenticate, the disappearances should stop.

Email in Exchange inbox are getting deleted

Hi
Email in Exchange inbox are getting deleted automatically.
I could see my mails received in my Inbox and immediately getting disappeared.
Is there any possible way to find the how these are getting deleted.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
From your description, I recommend you disable the POP3 feature on the problematic mailbox to determine whether the issue is related to POP3 account.
If the issue persists, please move this problematic mailbox to another mailbox database and check the result.
Hope it helps.

Does not say "The oldest backups are deleted when your disk becomes full."

I am helping someone set up her backup, but I noticed that in the Time Machine window, there is no line that says: "The oldest backups are deleted when your disk becomes full."
She is running Mac OS 10.5.8, on a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core. Her first backup ran fine, but we're concerned that it will not delete older backups automatically to make space.

It works differently in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
In Leopard, the box is titled +Warn when old backups are deleted,+ and Time Machine will fail with a message when it runs out of room and that box is checked.
On Snow Leopard, the title is +Notify after old backups are deleted,+ and that's what happens -- the old backups are deleted, then you get a notice.
See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

All the emails in my inbox have disappeared apart from the last 2 day's worth, they are not in the deleted folder either

I have my 3 bt email addresses linked to Thunderbird. This morning when checking emails I found that 1 of the accounts is missing everything apart from the last 2 days worth of emails. I've logged into BT and all the emails are there but not in Thunderbird, how can I get them back?

Delete your e-mail if you are dealing with Yahoo or Google or Apple, and then add the account back in again. This will reload those e-mails. If you have the same problem, then, you may have a problem in your Mail app, and you may have to reset you iPad to factory default in iTunes to reload a fresh and clean copy of the e-mail app. Always be sure you do your backups before fiddling around with your iPad, like this.

All emails into the inbox are listed as "archive". Also, emails have self-deleted.

In gmail, emails in the inbox listed as "archived." Emails in all folders in gmail vanished.

Sounds like you both have the same messed up add on. Try restarting Thunderbird with the add ons disabled and see if things go back to normal.
You can do this from the Help Menu.

How do I delete all the emails from the inbox of my ipod touch?

As a result of my lack of management, I now have 1500 emails in the inbox of my ipod Touch. I know how do delete them using "Edit", selecting each email and then deleting, but I would like to delete them all, in one action. How do I do this, please?

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it. and there should be.
Try this, I never have but it should work.
on your touch go to
1 Settings
2 Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3 select your email account ( the one with 1500 emails)
4. scroll down and select Advanced
5. select Remove
6. select After one day ( the default is never)
tomorrow your 1500 emails should be gone. any new emails should be there.
You may want to keep the setting at one day, one week, one month or never. BUT you should probably cleanup and delete some of those 1500 old emails.

HT1668 I am seeing "all" my emails including those that I deleted days, months, years ago in the "spotlight search" screen of my iPad and iPhone. All account trash folders are emptied. How to remove?

Hello.. I'm seeing all my emails from all my accounts located in the "spotlight search" feature of my iPad and iPhone4. What's most troubling is, there are emails that have previously been deleted. I have confirmed over and over that all trash folders for accounts are emptied as well as all other folders.. I empty the trash very regularly. When I select an email from the list in the spotlight screen, it will take me to an in box for that email where it may or may not exist.. Often it opens another persons email all together.. The bottom line is that I can not delete these emails and it's very nerve racking... Any help is greatly appreciated. Than you..

Thank Goodness for Time Machine. I was able to restore from a recent back up.
However as a follow up I now have a glitch in that Icloud email will only restore from oldest to newest. My Icloud.com account is fine. All my email are in chronological order from newest to oldest.
With the help of support from this site I was able to confirm that the problem is not resolved by disabling mail and then enabling again or even from deleting the Icloud Email Account and then reloading. It is exactly the same.
The only way I can get yesterday's email on my devices is to load 5000 emails starting back in 2010.
I think I caused a glitch when I was restoring from Time Machine. It was late at night and it was taking a long time so I went to bed thinking it would just continue on. Well i should have taken my computer out of Sleep Mode because my Imac must have powered down somehow causing the glitch.
Although you would think that I would also have a corrupted email account on Icloud.com
who knows....... the reason why i tend to live with problems rather than correct them because i hate it when stuff like this happens when you do................

All emails into my inbox are being marked as read whether they are or not.

All emails coming into my email inbox are instantly being marked as read. This is happening whether or not they have been opened in the reading pane, and is also happening on a colleagues computer as well.
Any suggestions as to why this may be happening?
It seems to have only started opening in the last week or two and I have not changed any settings in the mean time.

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?). How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard. However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted. It is running the next operating system (Lion?). Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac. It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages. I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

IPhone 5 sending all "Sent Emails" to "Trash" Folder and deleted items not showing up at all

My boss has an iPhone 5 and today she realized that trash folder only has the last 50 emails that she has sent.
The trash folder is empty.
We use gmail. Her outlook is fine and the web interface is fine. She's tried restarting her phone. Will we have to delete the account and resync? (please say no...)
Thanks!

Dear Mr. Rakesh Vijayan,
What is your justification for below behavior?
Using basic Gapps (free) email server,IMAP option client with MSO2013. Window 7 professional
MO Professional Plus,
(15.0.4535.1006), MSO(15.0.4535.1507)32-bit.
Auto migrated/upgraded from MS2007 to MS2013 in March, 2013.
Inbox repair tools has been run 03 times since last 6 months in safe mode..
Already configured Settings> advanced and deselect "Do not save copies of sent items
Already configured File > Account Setting > double-click your IMAP account and adjust "Mail to keep offline" to "All".
Since March 2013, 95% mails are getting saved/appearing in Sent Items folder. Only some times few mails are not appearing in sent item outlook client folder.
All those emails are also appearing in All mail Folders.
Any email sent from Gapps web interface/browser definitely getting save/ appearing in sent item outlook client folder.
But now since last 4 days no email sent using outlook are appearing in sent items folder.
Sincerely Yours

Lost all my emails in my inbox, how can I get them back

I am told I can contact Firefox and they can put them back. Is that so, and how do I contact Firefox?

Thank you for your reply.
I realized that if I went to Internet Explorer, I could get my emails back. You go to delete and there is a choice to recover deleted emails. When I did thatl 33 emails went into deleted. Then I just picked the ones that go into my inbox and delete the rest.

ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???
