Clear mail cache

HI,
I use godaddy imap on my 13" retina late 2012.
Yesterday emails stopped syncing. I tried deleting the account and re entering it again, but get the same old batch of emails instead of it syncing and starting over. I thought that I reached my quota on godaddy, so deleted mails via web, but when I go back to mac mail it still says I have the higher number of emails (before deleting) and also the last email I received yesterday when it stopped syncing.
Any ideas?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Clearing the outgoing mail cache

    How do I clear the outgoing cache for my mail since I can only receive and not send emails?
    I got assistance from Apple with this once before but I can't remember how anymore, and now they won't help me.
    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the 'Library'?
    Thanks

    IIRC, I was told it was dangerous to do if anything at all was running.
    I always use Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • SInce uploading 3.1 version I cannot send a reply to an e-mail or forward an e-mail. Using Verizon. Tried all the suggestions of clearing the cache, history,etc

    Since uploading version 3.1 of firefox I cannot reply to emails or forward them (I use Verizon webmail). I can send newly composed emails however. Using another browser (explorer) I do not have these issues. I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, cleared the history, etc. Appreciate your efforts to help! Thanks.

    Several users have reported this -- here is a long thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1006704 verizon email..can't reply to emails says null status:404].
    At this point, no one has posted a diagnosis of why this function is no longer working in Firefox 31. Unfortunately, with hundreds of changes in each version, it is difficult to track down without "hands on".
    In the meantime, if you need to use Firefox for your Verizon mail, you have the option of reinstalling Firefox 30 (so long as you know there are security implications). See: [[Install an older version of Firefox]].

  • How do i clean out my voice mail cache?

    My voice mail has been running slow and the phone store told me to clean my mail cache.

    1. Open your message app as normal and enter your pin code plus #, next listen to voice commands and press 1 to turn your message indicator off. Exit your message app and go into settings and next go to applications manager.
    2. Go to all apps and locate your message app
    3. Tap Force stop and then clear cache not data. Do a restart of your phone and go back to your message app and use as normal.. This should speed up your Voice mail messages .

  • Is there a way to clear the cache on iPhone 4?

    Is there a way to clear the cache on iPhone 4?  Seems to be a bit slow checking for e-mail, etc., lately.

    Thank you for the info!!!!  I did go in and delete cookies and history, the only 2 options available.  Whether it helps or not, still a good thing to do once in a while, I would imagine.  Thanks so much!!!

  • Deleting Mail cache

    I've had iphones and ipads for a while now, and every time I get a new one I restore the previous backup, so over time, the dreaded 'Others' has crept up to a rather invasive 3gb+.
    I often clear the caches of apps like facebook and monitor space usage through settings, and I've even got phoneclean installed and run it ocassionally.
    There's one thing that I can't seem to shake and it's doing my nut in!
    'Mail and attachments' takes up over 500mb on my phone and nearly a gig on my tablet. I have a lot of email accounts on them and often open attachments (PDFs, JPGs etc) which I believe end up in the cache. Once I've seen them, I'm normally done with them for good so don't want them indefinitely clogging up the cache, but at the same time I want to keep the message in my gmail accounts. Frustratingly I can't seem to get rid of this dead space. Phoneclean won't let me get at it, there's no option in settings>usage and I even painstakingly removed all the email accounts and waited a couple of days hoping it would naturally flush out but nothing.....
    Has anyone had any joy in freeing up space from the mail cache?

    If you want to get rid of all your data, why don’t you just Erase and Install Mac OS X?

  • When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

    When I publish my site on one specific page where I've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:
    'Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.'
    I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
    HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
    http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
    It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

    I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

  • I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

    When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

    I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
    doesn't accept my credit card.
    Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
    You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regards.
    P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
    I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
    As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

  • When I click "Clear now" to clear the cache, nothing happens, no acknowlegement the the cache is cleared, and I need to know whether the function is working.

    login problem at an arts forum... login works at other sites.
    I can't log in. They gave me a new password and were able to log in with it, doesn't work for me. They suggested clearing cache.
    I removed a cookie from that site, and tried to clear the cache, but suspect I was unsuccessful. When I go to the login, after attempting to clear the cache and removing cookie, the login form is immediately filled in with a password, which could be the old one or the new one, they are unfortunately the same number of letters.
    How do I get the cache clear if the edit preferences thing is not working?

    As a quick test for cookie or cache problems you can try to switch Private Browsing mode on to see if that allows to log in.
    You can either use Tools > Start Private Browsing or set a check mark in:
    * Tools > Options > Privacy: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    To see all the History and Cookie settings, select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"<br />
    Do not forget to exit Private Browsing mode after you have finished the login test.

    My safari,4.1.3 on the bottom says cancelled opening page. have cleared the cache,and reset but it still does it on some pages,not all. Any ideas

    It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
    If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
    Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
    You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

  • How to clear the cache in the portal browser

    Hello Experts,
    Iam unable to clear the cache in the portal. I tried  clearing the Navigation cache , PRT cache,PCD cache,Database cache,UME cache.
    The senario is in the browser if iam logging with some user X , he should see only 1,2,3 countries, and if i logg off and again logg in the same browser with different user he is seeing same 1,2,3 countries unlike he should see 4,5 countries.
    But if iam opening in different browser iam getting the correct one with cache cleared.
    I want to acheive this in the same browser.
    Qucik help in solving out this cache problem is appreciable.
    Regrds,
    Manasa.

    There is one more important cache: the HTTP Provider Service cache (in VA).
    To find out why the browser is showing the same languages, analyze what the server is sending to the browser with HTTPWatch or Firebug and look at the cache flag. Also check what is the iView cache parameter? Is it user, session, shared or none?
    How do you do the logoff? The best thing is to make sure that the HTTP Session is killed. If not, the portal may send data that is cached for the HTTP Session to the browser. When you open a new browser, you will also open a new HTTP Session. That could be the cause why it is working with a new browser instance.

  • Can't seem to clear Flash cache in Firefox 4 on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    When updating my work's webpage, I cannot seem to get a certain flash component to update. It works fine in IE so I know that it's not on the server's side. I have tried clearing all cache and even private browsing. Nothing I do will cause Firefox to show the updated information. Is there any other way to clear the flash cache other than using Firefox's Clear Recent history feature?

    Thank you for finding that driver Mikey. The information at the download site is confusing me. The first version listed is the version I have BUT it appears to me that the first listed applies to Windows7 32 bit. I have 64 bit and that number is off the wall. Also, I was looking for Broadcom since that's the driver I have. Somehow you were able to recognize the driver. I made a restore point and removed Ready Comm and it worked out okay. I would hope sometime in the future Lenovo would identify their drivers so that people who aren't familiar with all of this can recognize what they need. I think you're probably right that that is the driver I have. Thank you again.

  • How do I clear the cache in my MacBook Pro 10.9 Maverick

    How do I clear the cache in my MacBook Pro 10.9 Maverick operating system? Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions. I'm a big dummy when it comes to this sort of thing.

    Hey DrSteveMc,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines where the cache folder is stored. Note that the Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Mavericks. To access this folder, hold down option when clicking the Go menu in Finder:
    OS X Mavericks: What is the Library folder?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14330
    Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1199
    If the issue does not appear to be related to preferences, a login item, or a kext file, and still persists in Safe Mode, there may be an issue with a cache file in your home folder:
    1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Home.
    2. Open the Library folder.
    3. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    4. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    5. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    6. If issue persists, from the Finder's Go menu, choose Go To Folder.
    7. Go to this folder: /Library
    8. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    9. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    10. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    11. If issue persists, go to step 4.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have the latest version of Firefox. How do I clear my personal info and then clear the cache?

    I have the latest version of Firefox. It is: Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729).
    I got a page that said I needed to clear my personal information, then clear my cache. It said I could do that in the "tools" menu. The "tools" menu has no such option.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thats' all well and good, but FIREFOX crashes when I click on those links. I'm not doing it again. Heck with it.
    Am going to TRY and get my old version of FIREFOX back.
    If it were not THIS problem, I'm sure I'd be having another problem because I've had nothing BUT problems since I "updated" my browser, the way my neighbor says you are supposed to.
    Thanks anyway, caldwell418
