Can I recover lost e-mail accounts and history

After a power failure, e-mail was opened like it was the first time. All account set up lost and e-mail history.
I can't recover through time machine.
Any ideas?

If this is Apple Mail, can you nagivate to the Mail folder in your Home Folder Library. Look inside the folder. What do you see there?

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

  • Apple Mail: Lost all Mail accounts and emails - after reboot - how to recover?

    Here is what happened:
    upgrade to 10.8.4.
    macbook air froze
    I held down power button
    reboot took a looong time ... I nearly thought the little "meter" on the grey screen was stuck. But it finally came through:
    I then logged in as usual
    opened Mail
    and nearly died, since all my 7 mail-accounts were gone + all emails gone
    except mobile me account
    tried restarting, restart mail.
    mail crashed almost immidiately upon opening.
    then I did what linc davis said in https://discussions.apple.com/message/22477277?tstart=0#22477277?tstart=0 and mail started anew, and now Mail doesn't crash straight away.
    It seemed to import my mobile me mails, but comes up with the "!" sign next to my mobile me account and: "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” on port 143 timed out."
    I have verified that username and paswword are correct and saved in preferences.
    But anyways; thanks to another post from you elsewhere I have located my 7 mail accounts in subfolders to something called the V2 folder. There are 6 POP accounts each in a folder and one I think is called EWS.
    So: How to I restore these POP accounts in Apple Mail and reimport all my (vital) emails from the last two years?
    phew, I have loved working in mac OX for as long as I remember ... but this experience, I could have done without.
    I really, really hope some genius can help out. Thanks

    Mail isn't showing your eMails correctly or what?
    Might try this before we restore anything...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ does not exist.

  • Can I delete an e-mail account and reinstall it without losing all my old messages, folders, address lists etc?

    I can no longer send from email from my account and keep getting the message that the connection to the smtp server was lost or the settings are wrong.
    I would like to reinstall the account to make sure that the servers settings are correct, but I fear that I might lose years of messages that I have saved in my folder system as well as my address books, hence the question.
    Alternatively, does anyone know how to reset the server settings so that Thunderbird will work with Rogers Yahoo mail?
    Thanks for any help you might provide.

    Two ways you can do it
    If your not Removing the Thunderbird try this '''First Method'''
    *Copy the entire mail and address to local folder and local address

    **Try this Addon for local copy - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/copy-folder/
    '''Second Method'''
    *Profile Backup

  • How can I reinstall my mail accounts and get all my mails back?

    My internal HD died a few days ago . Fortunately I did a Time Machine backup a couple of hours before it happened .
    Now my MacBook Pro is back from the repair center, with a brand new HD and Mac OS 10.6.8 installed (the system I had) .
    But how can I get all my mails back? Indeed I used Mail to manage many mail accounts, and some of the inboxes or local mailboxes contain messages that are a few months if not years old. I coud reconfigure my accounts, but then I only get the mails of the last few weeks downloaded (those that were not erased from the pop3-server). Is there a possibility to get all the mails (including outbox) as it was before the crash?
    By the way, I'm also still looking for my address book and my iCal calendars !!
    Thanks for help.

    I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011.  It is running OS 10.6.8.
    I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air.  My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
    None can support "the Cloud".  I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
    I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
    Please help.

  • How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

    I'm not sure how to set it up so  my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.  This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
    Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

  • How can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now on iCloud?

    how can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now are
    on iCloud?

    Thanks for the answer, but the external POP accounts I had in my MobileMe are working in my iCloud! I receive all the e-mails that are directed to those POP accounts, in my iCloud e-mail, since I migrated from Mobileme to iCloud. So, iCloud accepts external accounts, but i doesn't allow us to edit new configurations or to send e-mails using Pop Accounts through it. Very weird. Does anybody have a solution?

    If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
    Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

  • Upgrading To SL By Erase And Install. How Can I Save All My Mail Accounts?

    I am thinking about erasing my HD and installing Snow Leopard.
    This will destroy all my Mail accounts and it takes ages to reinstall them as each one has to send off and receive info back from my ISP which can take 5 or more minutes.
    Is there something I can save to put back in SL that will allow me to continue using all my accounts instantly with no reconfiguring?

    Thank you. I had completely forgotten about TM ....... even though I only started using it 3 days ago!
    However, I have a friend with an early Intel iMac who is running Tiger and intends to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    I assume he may be using an older version of Mail and of course he hasn't got TM.
    What precautions should he take or will he just have to reconfigure his accounts?
