AOL mail getting deleted using Apple Mail

My AOL mail seems to be getting deleted after about a week or so in my inbox. I am using the Apple MAIL with two accounts. One is the AOL and the other is RoadRunner accont. After I have read the e-mail, I have noticed that it would be deleted and I cannot find it in the recently deleted mails.
Is this an AOL problem or setting I need to change or is it on MAIL?

I was experiencing this problem also. Having received no help from AOL online tech support, I created a workaround following the instructions in the posts in this forum by creating a local "On My Mac" mailbox and a rule moving the incoming mail into the On My Mac mailbox.
So far so good. The new problem is, that I have two mail accounts in Apple Mail, my AOL account and my .mac account. My husband also has a mail account (AOL mail). His messages are being moved into my On My Mac mailbox as well as mine. He is not a very clever computer user and will probably be unable to deal with this.
Is there a way to modify my rule so that it doesn't move his messages?
Thanks!

File not getting deleted using File.delete()

Hi guys,
I have a code like this:
File tempdir = new File("tempdir");
tempdir.mkdir();
File temporaryFile = new File("tempdir\tempfile.txt");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(temporaryFile);
// write data into file
writer.flush();
writer.close();
try {
// Do something
catch (Exception e) {
// Do something
temporaryFile.delete();
tempdir.delete();The program runs successfully. The directory and the file is created and data is written successfully into it. However, the file as well as directory is not getting deleted at the end of the program. I tried temporaryFile.deleteOnExit(), but this also didn't help.
Can anyone provide some input as to what can be the possible reasons for the file not getting deleted?
Thanks..

I want the file to be created inside the directory I specified. Hence, I put the "\". Please let me know if there is some other way to achieve this. This way I am getting the file created at the location I want.
One more interesting thing which I noticed. Actually this code is part of a JUnit test. In the same JUnit, I am creating new files in atleast 2-3 test methods. But the deletion of files is really random. Sometimes, 2 out of 3 get deleted, sometimes only 1 gets deleted. However, I didn't come through a single instance wherein all the 3 files got deleted. :-(
Also, the directory is never deleted. However, I got the reason behind this. As per the File API, the directory will not be deleted if it is not empty.

I can only get sound using Apple's Headphones. Help?

Okay, this is weird.
I had no sound, or so I thought. However, now my ipod does have sound, but only through apple's headset. If I plug in any working headphone set, I get nothing but silence, but if I use the apple headset, I get sound. This is also the same for my MAC if that give any clues. Last night, both of these items were working perfectly and had sound regardless of the kind of headphones.
Anyone have any ideas what I could do to fix this or what the problem might be? I want to use my good headphones again.

See my response to your other post.

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

Can't open AOL Mail with Firefox, but can open AOL website. Have to use Internet Exp. to get into mail. Help!

Have always been able to get into AOL Mail, until recently; last 2 - 3 days. Can get into AOL website, just not mail. No problem with any other websites. Have to get to mail using Internet Explorer, and I hate Internet Exp. What has happened and how do I fix it? I tried reloading Mozilla Firefox, but that did not help.

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

Problem with AOL mail being recognized in sent mail using Apple Mail

Hi!
In Apple Mail, when I click on the Sent Mail icon, I see the two accounts that I use (one is a POP-gmail, and one is an IMAP-berkeley.edu), but not AOL mail. Its sent files go into this folder that is not included.
Also, AOL mail and calmail (the berkeley.edu mail) have these two icons under the inbox and the sent mail that are black circles with an @ sign in the middle, when clicked on they have several folders about contacts, sent mail... but it is very annoying to have them.
I would like for all sent mail to be included in the sent mail tab, and for these two @ sign tabs to be removed.
Thank you so much for the help!

also...
is there a way to constantly synchronize my gmail account to the gmail.com inbox... what i mean is: whenever I read a message sent to the gmail inbox on Apple Mail and delete that message, then when I sign on gmail.com the message is no longer there
This somehow happens with the calmail server, when I delete a message using Apple Mail the calmail message is gone when I log onto that website and check the inbox
Thanks so much for all of your help!

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Hello all, I bouhgt a TV serial using my apple tv2 and my Apple ID information: all good. But then I got an e-mail from apple saying that an "unknown" user downloaded con ten using my apple ID. Nobosy stoled anything. How do I get my particular apple TV2

Hello all, I bouhgt a TV serial using my apple tv2 and my Apple ID information: all good. But then I got an e-mail from Apple saying that an "unknown" user downloaded content using my apple ID. Nobody stoled anything. How do I get my particular apple TV2 to recognize my apple ID account so it knows it is me who is buying. Thank you so much.

Dear AC,
Thank you so, so much for this answer. I did go into my Apple ID account through iTunes store and associated my devices to my Apple ID account. I did this by working on my computers (a mac mini and a mac air) and my two devices (iPhone and iPad). Thus there is a statemente saying "4 devices are associated with this apple ID and can download your purchases from iTunes in the iCloud". So whenever I use them to purchase anything, iCloud knows it is me through my devices so I do not get no e-mail warming me my account might be being used by a stranger.
So, how do I associate my apple Tv2 to my apple ID account? I went to its settings and could not find any way of doing it. Can you continue helpling me? Please.
Thank you so so much

AOL mail gets smaller periodically, used to be able to go to File/Zoom/reset. This bar is gone. Help

There was a toolbar in the upper right of my screen before I installed the new Firefox upgrade today, 3/24/11
Intermittently, my AOL mail list would become small (I do not have AOL installed but use the browser to get there)
I would go to File, then Zoom, then Reset and the mail would enlarge again
How can i get that toolbar back?

Neal,
I am in the same predicament. I would essentially like to accomplish the same deal, as seen below. . . (from another forum that went unanswered.)
I use iCal (1.5.5/ 2.0.3) currently but own Entourage (11.2.1) as well. I have clients that I service on a weekly or biweekly basis whose appointments are in my iCal; I call and remind them the day before. The majority of these people are great about checking email. I would like to set up an automated email reminder which is sent to them for each appointment, two days in advance that does not contain an .ics file. Many times my clients' email app has junked the message due to the small attachment. Others don't want to open a file when they don't know what it is.
Predetermined timed stamped/Automated iCal events are possible aren't they?! If not, do I have to move over to :dreaded Entourage?

AOL Mail will not get new mail???

Hello Everyone,
I am setting up an AOL account on my mothers new Imac. I am trying to get AOL mail into Apple mail.
Unfortunately, I cannot get it to get any new messages. I also get the following alert in apple mail:
The following alerts are from the IMAP server for “<screenename>”:
Can't read attachment for message 21795
(sometimes the number of the attachment will change...)
I used the AOL service assistant to set up the AOL mail account. I have deleted and re-added the account. I am at a loss. I found this question asked in the archives several times, but the answers all said to use the service assistant, which I have done, and it doesnt solve the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am experiencing the exact issue with my AOL account. The error randomly states "it can not open attachment on message XXX". I'm using Safari with AOL mail on a MacBook Pro with MacOSX 10.6.7. Did you ever get a response or solution to your problem? Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Delays in loading AOL mail to Apple Mail

There are times that no AOL mail appears in my Apple Mail but if I go to the AOL website, there is unread mail there. It will eventaully come through but may be 24-36 hours later.
Is it AOL or Apple?
I use my old AOL account as my "shopping" email for retail purchases, etc. that aren't important enough to send to my iphone. That way, when I order something online, all the subsequent ads aren't arriving on my phone.
I am using a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8
Any clues?

Associates of mine are having these same issues ...
They are NOT on AOL ... but a variety of other standard email servers ...
So, it does not appear to be an AOL problem.
But rather with Apple Mail in particular.
My old AOL app, far outdated now (but still works) ... does not have these issues ...
I wish Apple would not become involved in applications it does not intend to actually support and develop properly, over the twists and turns in it's own OS .... and hardware systems.
I've still not taken the time to switch away from Apple Mail, but ... the situation is not getting any better ....
It is obviously something wrong in their system, because:
Other services have the same problem ...
and the problem is not consistence or predictable ...
   the same on a variety of computers, and a variety of Mac OSs ...
I've found no reliable 'fix' for it, other than waiting ... until Apple Mail decides to actually deliver my mail ...
Sometimes over a DAY late.
    Sometimes, a message will come in, then dissapear completely, no trace of it ...
       Then reappear at some point later .... Or sometimes not at all ....
And the crazy thing is ...
Sometimes-
            Not all the messages are late ...
      Sometimes just a message or two. Even from the same service ....
         Usually though- Everything .... is late ... from all services ... not just AOL ...
           Often-
               Nothing comes in for many hours ... then poof- a pile of stuff appears, all at once.
                    I've at least gotten a sense of when it's 'withholding' my emails ...
Does anyone know either a fix for this, or a better- reliable mail application for Mac?
This is an unacceptable situation.
Thanks!
ps:
I should note:
There is nothing wrong with my internet service.
   I am working regularly online, at fairly high speeds.
Typically 20.7 down, 4.7 up

Mail.app messages dont get deleted in GMail

I know that in GMail accounts, deleted messages dont really get deleted but end up in the archived. Please read on.
I have been using my GMail account as a POP3 account on both my Mac and iPhone. I recently replaced my old Core Duo MacBook Pro with a new Retina MacBook Pro, and decided to swap our both my phone and Mac to use IMAP so I can sync actions between devices.
The problem is with Mail.app. I followed Google's recommended settings, unchecking the option "Move deleted messages to the Trash folder", and for the most part when I delete something on the iPhone it seems to reflect in Mail.app and visa-versa.
The problem is that I have a LOT of junk mail that I was deleting when setup POP3, but which was really only deleting the local copy by moving it to the trash. So, I was trying to use the search tool to search and remove blocks of stuff, like spam from Amazon.com etc. So, the process I was trying to do was:
     1) Use the search field to search a sender I want to whack messages from
     2) Select the messages found
     3) Hit delete OR Control-click and choose "Delete" from the context menu
The messages dissapear, BUT if I search again, there they are! I hate to think I will need to go through ALL 31000+ messages and delete stuff. Is this a bug, or an "undocumented feature", and either way, is there a better way to mass-delete suff?
Thanks in advance...

Nathan,
Just ordered an iPhone 3G (my first Apple product) that I should receive in the next couple of weeks. My company has already said they won't certify it for use on Exchange so I plan on accessing my email via IMAP. With my Moto Q there is no problem...anything I delete on my phone is deleted, the next time the phone checks/refreshes the server, in Outlook. Is this not the same with the iPhone? For me that would create a big problem as I travel most of the time and process a large number of emails. I wouldn't want to have "delete" them twice...
I think I also saw some reference to going to preferences and identifying the folder you want messages deleted on the phone to go to on the server...if that is all I have to do then all is well.
I'd really like to get the iphone, but I can't afford to handle email twice... I'm hoping you'll confirm that I won't have to.
Thanks
