ALL of my mail inbox is gone since recent mail update by Mac, gone where??

Since Mac recently changed the mail application ALL of the mail which was in my inbox has gone and I cannot find it. I kept stuff in there which I really need, does anyone know how I might get it back???

If this happened as a result of something you did using the .Mac web interface or as a result of the changes introduced there, then this is definitely a .Mac Email On The Web issue.
If that’s the case, the fact that your mail has disappeared from Mail as well would just be a consequence of the problem that neither you nor we can do anything about, unless you have a backup copy of the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, in which case, depending on what the account settings are, it might be possible to recover your mail.
You may want to report the problem to .Mac email support. IMO, if it’s their fault (which I don’t know), then they would be obliged to restore your mail from any backups of the server contents they might have (if any).
If, on the other hand, this happened as a result of something you did in Mac OS X Mail, then the discussion would belong to this forum, and you should provide information as to the circumstances under which it happened if you want to make any sense out of it.

Mail does not work since recent software update

downloaded 4-9-2015 OSX Yosemite update 10.10.3 and Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0 and immediately Mail program now fails to respond. help.

I am assuming you are referring to the security update 2012-004. Look into your applications folder and see if there are more than 1 MAIL APP. Single click on each one and see which is the newer one,(4.6). DOuble click on that application and se if your mail works, if it does work, take the old one and drag it to the trash and do a secure empty trash ) shift.command delete. Hope this helps you. ATB

I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the mail "file" has 2GB. How can I permantely delete this information from my iphone4?

How can I permantely delete email information from my iphone4?
I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the Mail "file" still has 2GB...

Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again...

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting. However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete. However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash. Any ideas?

I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

HT6114 mail doesn't open since the new update

Since the new update(v10.9.2) my mail has refused to open keeps coming up with the mail has had a problem would you like to reopen screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

E-mail account not working since Z10 software update 10.2.0.424

I’m having a technical issue with my company e-mail account on my blackberry device. The phone had recently updated [5-days ago] its operating system to version 10.2.0.424
Ever since the software update, I have not been able to send or receive any e-mails on my work email account. But my gmail account is working normally on the phone.
I deleted the account completely from the phone and tried to reconfigure it, but the message is always the same: “The server for account XXX – [email protected] [mail.xxx.com, port: 143] can't be reached. The settings might be incorrect or the server could be temporarily offline. Check your settings and try again."
Our company's web-mail is provided by Bluehost and i have checked and rechecked that the configurations match the specs instructed by Bluehost. Moreover, these are the exact same settings I was using on the phone before the software update and it was working fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I am having the very same issue, and also done everything you have said.

Yahoo mail, anybody had problems since the last update

On iMac, since last 10.7.3 update, (Yahoo) mail keeps asking me to log in to get mail. This does not work. The only way I can get mail, is to log out of Yahoo account and log back in again, then mail works, for a few hours then back again with the log in sign.
This happened straight away after updating the Mac to 10.7.3.
Anybody else using Yahoo have a problem with loosing log in.

Can you install any program? If so can you install the MS cleanup utility?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
If you can't install it then I'll need a email that I can send the exe to. I just did this for someone else so don't worry.

WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way
...Michael

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.
...Michael

How do I change mail so only the most recent mail from a person opens?

When I open mail and go to a new mail all of the files/documents that, that person has ever sent me from previous days open as well. The other emails that I do not want also show up on the right side of my mail in the preview the document part. How do I change it so that I only see the email I am clicking on not a scrolling document of all of the mail items the sender has sent me. Also how do I change it so I only see the most recent item (the one I am clicking on) in the preview email on the right side? Thanks

Network won't start @ boot since recent hotplug update

Hello All,
The recent hotplug update rendered my network inoperable. Previous to the recent hotplug update network had no issues at all.
At boot, the network daemon is returning FAILED (in all red)
FYI: I tried the Wiki site before posting but it's down for some reason.
As root, if I manually "network start", usually it fires up, occasionally it does not, and requires a second attempt. It has never failed beyond the second attempt.
Action Taken: In the rc.conf file I removed hotplug. After reading some threads here, it looks like many of you have done the same thing. I put the required modules I know my system needs into the modules section of the rc.conf file, in the order that they are needed.
The result? No change in behaviour! I still have to login as root, and issue a "network start" to get the thing on it's feet. After that... it's smooth sailing.
I noticed in the network script itself a sleep 2 statement. I know what this does, but I wonder if the new setup that came down the wire with this AM's pacman -Syu, needs another one of these sleep statements somewhere else in the network shell script.
Suggestions and assistance is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dave Babb

first, what are the stats on your machine - if it's slower, it *is* possible that the module isn't fully probed at the time of the network request.

finally, after the network fails, try pinging something before you issue a network start again - it is possible that the script may be failing at some minor part while still starting the network (this would be due to permissions on some files/dirs most likely... perhaps the dhcp pid/cache files???)
ping fails to anyone. It responds with "Network is Unreachible"
Remember, when I log in as root, from the console, and issue a "network start", the network then fires up and operates normally.
Thanks for your help.

Since recent Firefox update, Google search bar is in foreign language!

Following the recent firefox update, my google searches are directed to google.cz. Unfortunately, I don't speak cz, only .co.uk

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ get the uk version and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

How to restore Mail Inbox from backed up Library: Mail folder?

I deleted my email account and recreated it to attempt to resolve some bizarre behavior with the Trash folder. Prior to deleting the account, I copied my Library:Mail and Library:Mail Downloads folders to my desktop.
I would like to restore the 100+ emails from my Inbox only, as all my other folders remained intact and appear to be fine. Could someone please refer me to an article or offer instructions to copy back to correct file to refill my inbox?
I am on a MacBook Pro OS X (10.5.5) with Mail 3.5.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Wynne

I appreciate your rapid response. So if I understand you correctly, I use this restore/import feature and it will return all my inbox messages, as well as creating duplicates of all my Mailboxes and those emails?
What if I delete the folder files from my backup, so all it will have to restore are the emails in the inbox? In the Mail folder, there is a Mailboxes subfolder containing folders and .mbox files for each of my Mail folders (which remained intact and do not need restored).
Wouldn't it make since if I move the saved Mailboxes folder to another location on my Desktop, the import feature will not see them and only restore the inbox? I just dont want to corrupt any folders and have to back up and restore and delete/add my mail account again?
What do you think?
Thank you,
Wynne

Mail Signatures behaving strangely since recent update to 10.5.5

Hi there
Some, but not all, of our macs have started to behave a little bit strangely since updating to 10.5.5
We use Apple Mail 3.5, we all have a set default signature which we sometime have to change depending on the circumstances. Prior to the recent updates all machines behaved in the same way. When creating a new mail the default signature appears, when you select a new signature the default one is replaced.
The new behaviour on some of the machines is that the new signature is added below the default one.
I would like all of the machines to replace the default signature.
Any ideas?
thanks for your help.
