Can I restore Mails that I still see in Mail from cache?

Hi,
When I connected a new iPhone to my macbook (Os X Lion) Mail duplicated my email account. The "new" duplicate said all mails were new and unread and the account used some pop and smtp settings that had changed months ago. So I deleted the unwanted duplicate. Now, Mail seems to have deleted all the messages in both accounts.
Mail is still open. And I can see all my messages in the remaining "old" correct account. I can still see all the sender adresses, the title of the emails, even the text is displayed in the short overview in the left pane. When I maximize the left pane by shifting the "complete mail text pane" to the right the text displayed for each mail is even extended. So the info is still all out there somewhere in my cache. However I cannot open the single mails. He just can't load them.
I went to the apple store yesterday and they had a look but not the slightest idea how to deal with the problem.
I had a look at the mail library folder and except for the new mails I recieved after doomsday there is nothing at all. The "com.apple.mail" folder in the cache wasn't of any help either.
Has anybody an idea how to save/restore my mails as long as they exist in the ominous cache I didn't find yet?
It's just so annoying to see all the mails still in front of you, see the text and not knowing how to make a quick backup or restoration of them.
Thanks for the help.

P.S:
Would it possible e.g. to retireve the date from the sleepimage or swapfiles?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If you're using a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, nothing; they can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If you're using an Intel Mac, click here and look the applications up.

How can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a back from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1?)

how can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a backup from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1)?
When I try Easing All Content and Restore. It backup's to ios7. Then I'm unable to install the backup that i have in the cloud.
Help!

Are you sure it's a 4S and not a 4?
You can't restore a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone running an older one. You must update the phone to the newer version of iOS, wipe it again, then restore the backup.

Why is it that I cannot see my iMessages from my iPad on my iPhone?

Why is it that I cannot see my iMessages from my iPad on my iPhone? I have both on the iCloud, both have iMessage on, and on my iPhone I show to receive at both my cell phone number and my email address that is linked to my iPad. Any suggestions?

If its SD DV, check the following:
· Camera is set to the proper input
· In FCP, Canvas is set to RGB and sized to "Fit to Window or smaller
· View->External Video is set to "All Frames"
Do a search for Shane's Stock Answers ... I belive #8 covers this question.

Missing mail (that's still there)

Recently a had my entire system throw a very strange wobbly, which messed up certain preferences and plists. And since my backup system has been down for a period of time i'm embarrassed to admit to i just had to grit my teeth and start fixing things.
Mostly it's been finding apps and areas of the system that have just had their prefs returned to default, but the oddest one so far has been mail, and i'm hoping that someone out there has a deep understanding of the way mail is stored and can help me out.
All of my emails in two of my POP accounts (and my main two accounts of course) which were dated before the big wobbly were still in the list, but if i trid to open or preview them it would tell me that they needed to be downloaded from the server. When i rebuilt the mailbox it simply lost all of the emails, so now i have nothing in the list prior to the date of the problem. BUT.. they're not gone! If i do a spotlight search for content that i know is in one of the missing emails it will find that email and display it, but of course the 'Show in Mail Viewer' link does nothing.
How can i find these mails and restore them?

Since you have converted from an earlier version of Mail, you may have issues arising out of leftover files, and conversion to Tiger and Mail 2.x, but with the Envelope Index file, for sure.
I want you to read the article at the link below, and as needed, get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but will also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
In a pre-conversion to Tiger mailbox, the only file that really mattered, in regard to message content, was the file "mbox". In a mailbox properly created and established in Tiger, the only thing that really matters is the folder named Messages.
Thus, if you are able to compare the size of both the mbox file and the Messages folder, at the time of conversion (a mailbox trying to have it both ways), and they are approximately the same size, then you can reasonably conclude everything was converted. There are some very minor exceptions to this comparative analysis, but it basically holds.
Once all leftover files are removed, then at the root level of the original Mail folder, locate the Envelope Index file, and delete it -- if more than one file has Envelope in the name, delete those as well.
Relaunch Mail, which will announce that it is ready to import your mailboxes -- allow this to continue, and in your case, it will really only be reindexing all your mailboxes, and not importing any.
This will refresh this all-encompassing index file, and I think the the search for reply messages will be resolved.
There are numerous topics about issues surrounding conversion of mailboxes to Tiger and Mail 2.x, from earlier versions. One of them -- the lengthy topic at the link below -- may also be of assistance, and deals with the Envelope Index to some extent:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
This topic is particularly relevant if the mailboxes were large, and complex while used in 10.3 and Mail 1.3. It may not be very relevant, if you were initially satisfied with the conversion of messages, and did think any were missing, at the time you first upgraded to Tiger.
Let me know any questions. Post back here for specific instructions, and help after you have thoroughly investigated your Mail folder, and mailboxes, and the degree of conversion that may, or may not have been completed.

Can I restore to my iPad Air calendar that I accidentally deleted

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
Once you tap that it will tell you when the last backup was made.
That said, to restore from a backup, would require you delete everything on your iPad, then restore from the backup. For a few calendar entries, it might just be easier to try to reenter the calendar entries.

Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send to me via email. When I tap on the video icon it only gives me option to send as a mail or to open in drop box which I don't want to open in.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

Can I restore my iTunes library file (iTunes Library.itl) from my iOS device?

After upgrading iTunes to 12.1.1.4 (around 2/25/2015), my library has reverted to a version from 12/28/2013.
None of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" or .tmp files are newer than the 12/28/2013 version.
All of the media files are perfectly fine and in their normal location.
Can I restore my "iTunes Library.itl" file from my iOS device?

I suspect you have been attempting to access the previous libraries in a way which always shows you the same content. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for advice.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can import any missing media from the media folder into the library. There are some scripts mentioned towards the end of the recovery tools section that can rebuild ratings, play counts and playlists.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

It would be very nice if Thunderbird would automatically remember e-mail that I mark as junk mail.

I get so many junk e-mails. Often, T-bird sees most of them as junk and puts them in the junk folder. However, there are many that it does not catch, so I have to create message filters.
Also, T-bird doesn't always remember e-mails that it marked as junk at one time, and leaves them in my inbox; or, it marks e-mails that are not junk as junk, and doesn't remember that I mark these as not junk - all of this makes going through my e-mails a very time-consuming part of my day.
It would make my life so much easier if T-bird would remember e-mails that I mark either as junk or not junk, and handle them accordingly, without the need for me to add message filters constantly.
Maybe it would be easier if T-bird provided a "white list" function which the user could include *only* e-mails that are "approved."
Please feel free to contact me about this issue.
Thanks!

i have had this problem for the last few weeks, and the junk is becoming more and more....i like tb and have used it for many years, but i may have to go to my mac mail program.....ughhh
i will try the retraining suggestion and see what happens thanks

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Looking for e-mail that supports Safari and OSX Mail client.

I've noticed that some email applications don't support Safari so a lot of the nice features are not available, even on paid subscriptions such as Yahoo! plus which is $20 per year. Is there one that does support Sarari that doesn't limit the features?

Never got an answer so I contacted my Satellite provider to use their e-mail set up for my Mac Mail client. I guess that provider is as good as any.
