Cannot see trash or junk folders in Yosemite mail

This is probably an easy fix, but I haven't been able to figure it out, and it is driving me bonkers. The only "folders" I can see under "Mailboxes", in the mailbox list to the left in mail is "Inbox" and "Sent". I used to be able to see "Junk" and "Trash" also, but can't after doing a clean Yosemite install. Does anyone know how to make it so I can see those?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
RESOLVED: I rebuilt the mailboxes, then logged out of mail and back in, and they were then visible.

Liam318, you are the only one I can find with this problem, which just happened to me. Just wondering if you have found a solution, if your mailboxes came back on their own (glitch?), or if it's still a problem on your end? Thanks.

I've deleted all of mail, including trash and sent folders, but my mail usage stays high at around 1.4 gb. What am I missing?

It is possible it just hasn' updated yet.
Try resetting:
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Entourage cannot see tasks in public folders in exchange 2003

Hi,
I have a bunch of users using entourage on their macs and they cannot see a public folder task list from an exchange 2003 server. They can see their mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
Has anyone ever seen this?? The rights on the public folder have them as owners of the folder so they should be able to see it. When the users click on the folder it says it is empty... but is isn't. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Please refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2249852/en-us
The issue occurs when the Internet Information Services (IIS) website that hosts the Exchange Web Services (EWS) virtual directory contains a site binding that binds to an IPv6 address.
Note It is a known issue that this configuration may cause an exception .
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Firefox 13 WindowsLive cannot open POP or JUNK folders

I could access my email account with WindowsLive using FF11 and click on POP or JUNK to view previous mails. With FF 13 nothing happens when I click on the folder icons

There are many regression bugs with Windows Live see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736731 & https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762170

Trash and Junk Folder Missing from Mail 5.1

Hello,
I am running Mac OS X 7.1.2, and Mail version 5.1, and am currently experiencing a massive issue when using the Mail Application. At the moment I cannot seem to access a mail folder or a trash folder, and cannot even create a folder and select 'use as trash' as this is greyed out. So far I have managed to get around the Junk issue, by making a new folder and adding a rule that sends all junk mail to it, but cannot see a way to do the same for trash; any suggestions?
Thanks, 4r1

Cannot send files to trash...cannot empty trash of certain folders...

Hi, Bit of a problem with deleting certain files from my external hard drive.
There seems to be some files that finder doesn't like moving to the trash, I move them, and it asks for my password. I do this and they remain in place. I've tried over and over, emptying trash and rebooting eternal hard disk. This works for most stuff, why i dont know... :/
Some folders still wont die, so I open problem folder and move to trash one at a time - this actually works for all but one folder. I had no problem deleting this folder before when moving stuff back and forth from my old PC. It doesnt seem to be write protected. What do I do???
ALSO - some of the stuff that did move to trash now refuses to be emptied form trash folder. It says: cannot complete operation because you do not have sufficient user privileges. I want aware i needed any to delete these seemingly mundane files - one folder that wont go is empty also...
can anyone suggest anything?
many thanks,
Mr T

it seems clear that the drive in question is a windows drive formatted FAT. OS X often has various problems with such drives of the sort you are seeing now. in that case the ONLY remedy short of completely reformatting the drive is to delete the folders in question from Windows.

Auto Delete From "On My Mac" Trash and Junk Mailboxes?

I have three pop accounts set up. I have set the prefs for each account to autodelete trash and junk messages older than one week. This works.
However, when I delete a message from a folder I manually created, Mail moves it to an "On My Mac" trash folder. If I mark a message as junk from a folder I manually created, it is moved to an "On My Mac" junk folder. These "On My Mac" trash and junk folders do not autodelete the messages. I cannot find a preference to set an autodelete option for "On My Mac" trash and junk mailboxes.
Is there anyway to do this? Am I missing something?
Thanks

AFAIK, that’s how it works and you aren’t missing anything. The Mailbox Behaviors settings are account-specific and there is no way to specify those settings for “On My Mac” mailboxes... except I have my accounts set to erase messages in the Trash when quitting Mail, and my “On My Mac” Trash does the same...

I cannot see how many messages are in or the size of the trash or sent folders after upgrading to 3.1.10

I recently upgraded my Thunderbird client to 3.1.10 from 2.2xx and I no longer can see the size of folders or how many messages are in certain folders. The folders do show how many are unread, but not the total messages or size of data in folder as I could with the previous version. If these options have been removed for some reason is there a problem with reverting to the previous version? Thanks, Dave English

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

My inbox shows that I have 69 emails, but the pane to the right is completely blank. Other folders will show mail (trash, junk)

My inbox shows that I have 69 emails, but the pane to the right is completely blank. Other folders will show mail (trash, junk). It was working fine but I don't know what happened to emails. I know they are there, and I know the server is sending correctly (comcast)

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot see my other iMac at home (note I am at work) in the Finder window shared devices. Note my iMac at home is connected to an airport extreme (as is my work iMac) and I can see both airport extreme.

Aftger I upgraded to Yosemite I cannot see my iMac at home from my work (i.e in Finder window under shared devices). Note both my work and home iMac are connected to time capsules and I can see both of those time capsules but I cannot see either iMac from the other location. My guess is that the time capsule is blocking the connection to the iMac. One last comment occasionally (5% of the time) my iMac does magically appear in the shared Finder window but this is extremely rare. Any help????

Just discovered this one myself. OK, this may sound silly but place your cursor next to the word "Shared" on the finder sidebar. The "hidden" command "Show" will magically appear. Clicking that will display your other network attached devices.
This appears to be a new "feature" that some freaking genius thought was some how "Cool". My only assumption is that Apple programers expect users to randomly move their cursor around the screen in hopes of finding some critical function like looking for an easter egg in their favorite game.

Cannot see items in my trash bin sice upgrading to mountain lion

cannot see deleted items in my trash bin,since upgrading to mountain lion,it seems to delete items straight away.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

My iPhone (5s/8.1.2) and iPad (orig mini/8.1.2) cannot see my Mac Book Pro (Yosemite) and vice versa in Airdrop

My iPhone 5s (current iOS 8.1.2) and iPad mini (ditto) can see each other in airdrop, but neither one can see my Mac Book Pro (early 2011/Yosemite). And the Mac Book Pro cannot see either iOS device.
I have read everything I can find about this and it seems like these iOS devices SHOULD be able to exchange with my Mac Book Pro using Airdrop, but I am unable to make it happen.
Can anyone enlighten me on what might be going on here?

I have been just wandering for quite a night over the web to find out a solution to this particular issue (no mid-2012 mac visible in Airdrop on iOS).
So, I seem to have found it and must share it:
the airdrop started working bidirectional for me after I had changed the following settings to "off" (or whatever it may be called in English version): system settings - network - bluetooth PAN - IPv4 configuration -> off.
If it works for you, please share further, because the problem seems very common with no solution readily offered.

I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore. It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders. Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially. Thanks

You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
Best of luck.
