Deleted Account -- emails disappeared

A couple days ago, I deleted an Account under Preferences in Mail (since I couldn't use that server to send or receive messages anymore), and now all the messages sent to me at that address are gone from my Inbox. In retrospect, that might be somewhat logical, but I swear there was some kind of reassuring message when I was deleting the Account that said it wouldn't delete messages I'd already received at that Account. Can I get those messages from the deleted Account back?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Before deleting an email account in Jaguar or Panther Mail, the following warning message is provided (the warning message with Tiger Mail is slightly different):
Are you sure you want to remove the account “XXXXXXXXX”?
This will erase all mailboxes for this account, but will not affect any messages stored on your mail server.
Existing messages on the mail server are not affected but all associated account mailboxes in Mail are deleted when deleting the account.

If this is your iCloud email account, whcn you delete an email from any of your devices, they are moved to the trash on all devices/computers, then the trash is automatically deleted after 30 days. That's how IMAP accounts work. You can't delete them from your device and keep it on the server because you are reading and deleting from the server itself.
If you want to keep them on your Mac, you'll need to move them to a folder rather than deleting them. When you do, they will be moved to the same folder on your other devices.

I recently deleted an email account from my phone because they were going to require me to always have password lock on ect. When I deleted it some of my notes in my notes app disappeared. Is there a way to get those back? Maybe by reinstalling that email

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time?

Some (not all) emails disappearing / deleting themselves from folders in the Mail app on iPhone 4S

I am having an issue with some of my emails disappearing on my iPhone 4S and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues and might offer a solution? I have three email accounts on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (of which include my iCloud @mac.com and Yahoo!) and all are set up as IMAP so that I can be sure both devices remain in sync at all times. The issue occurs when I go into any of my archive email folders, in any one of my three email accounts and let the iPhone sync with the server so that it is up-to-date. Sometimes - not everytime - I will watch as one of my most recent emails that is cached on the phone suddenly vanishes as it pulls down the rest of the emails archived in that folder. As soon as that email vanishes, it will then automatically remove it from the server (being that it is IMAP) and that email is then gone for good. It has not been moved to trash or any other folder because I can subsequently log into Yahoo! mail for instance and do a complete search for it and it won't find it at all. At first I thought it was my fat thumb (!!!) that had acidentally hit delete on the email but it is happening around twice a week and it has only happened since getting my iPhone 4S. I have contacted Apple support by phone and they suggested completely wiping the phone and restoring from backup, of which I have done. I have changed various settings such as showing 50 recent messages rather than 1000, turing on "organize messages by thread" and "ask before deleting" and trying that for a week but none of that has helped. I have a feeling this is an iOS5 issue rather than a hardware issue because my iPad 2 has started to do the same thing and it never did it before I upgraded to iOS5. Nor did my old iPhone 3GS that I had for two years. I am losing important emails and I'm getting to the stage of thinking about never opening the Mail app on either device for fear of losing any more important emails. I'm considering resorting to logging into Yahoo! and iCloud webmail via Safari instead which is a bit of a pain. Very sorry for the long message but thought i'd best be as thorough as possible. If any of you guys have had similar issues, or if you have any suggestions please feel free to chime in. Many thanks.

Thanks to everyone for their replies - I thought that it was just me with this issue but clearly not. Also thank you to Mil_Prep and S2Linda's suggestions, unfortunately all three of my email accounts do not have a "Mail Days To Sync" option - I believe that this option only appears in Mail settings if the account is an exchange email account. Even if I was able to adjust the time period of emails to sync, I don't think that it would help because the email(s) that are going missing can be as recent as one day old, leaving all my earlier emails in the same folder intact - some of which can go back to the year 2002 for instance. I am still convinced that it is a bug with headers in iOS5. Last week I even had a related problem where I had a new email merge with an old email. The senders email address, subject title and date remained the same but the body of the text was replaced with an old email from 2006! Very odd....

Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
Does anyone know how to delete this email?
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

ibosie /V.K. -
Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
Thanks -
Dudley

Deleted Emails Disappearing from Trash Box

Hi There,
When I delete an email from my inbox, it goes to Trash and I can see it there but after a couple of days, it disappears? I want to keep all of my Trash emails until I delete them manually. I have the account settings for Deleted Messages set to NEVER but they still get deleted after a couple of days.
I’m with Rogers. Can anyone help me or explain this?
thanks

Thank you for the advise, I also tried the "advanced" under MAIL/notes and was able to increase all deleted messages
By selecting " delete messages after 4 weeks" and/or by selecting "never" , all deleted are in a new box titled
"Deleted Messages " bypassing the trash box.

E72 Email : "Deleted Items" folder disappears ?

Tonight, my phone downloaded emails as usual. Some of messages were spams, so I deleted them. After I press "delete", the email app stopped responding. After about 1 min, it started responding again, but the "Deleted Items" has disappeared. Now in my mailbox there are only Inbox, Sent Items, Outbox and Drafts . Any solution guys ?

Yeah, the difference was you using IMAP vs. me using POP3. I have rarely used IMAP, as my ISP's don't support it, but just gave myself a refresher. POP3 is the oldest mail protocol in use today. It knows nothing of folder structure, read/unread marks, tagging, push, multiple client access, etc. IMAP can do all of these things, but with potentially greater stress to the server, which is why I think many ISP's stay with POP3. Gmail, for example, is IMAP-only. You typically wouldn't want to switch from one to the other (I would use IMAP if I could!) but switching involves deleting and re-adding the account again, using either a different host name or port. For example
POP3 server: pop.mailserver.com:110
IMAP server: imap.mailserver.com:143
Check your ISP's email settings if you really want to switch. Hope that helps!
Oh, and your Deleted Items folder disappearing sounds like a bug to me. The next time it happens, check your email account from a desktop/laptop computer and see if Deleted Items shows up there. Perhaps try deleting something to see what happens. If this works normally, then I suspect it's another bug in Nokia Email 2.2.0.

Email account has disappeared

I was trying to send email with a large amount of photos which I was copying from my phones picture gallery and then my email account disappeared. When I click icon for mail it opens as a blank screen. I've re booted and deleted account and reinstalled but still nothing although if I click on a photo and click share it allows me to email the picture. Can anyone help?

The icon on your desktop is an alias, look on your Dock for Mail. If it has been removed from your Dock then navigate to Applications + Mail and drag Mail to the Dock. If you somehow have lost your Mail use your Time Machine backup to restore it.

How can I retrieve emails from a deleted account?

Hi, I've done a stupid thing. I was setting up a new account and only wanted to disable my old account but deleted the account details instead of disabling, not realising that this would actually delete the emails as well and I had most of my emails sitting in the inbox and sent folders. Does anyone know how I get these back? I don't have any backups.
Thanks,
Mark

If the account was an IMAP account, and e-mails that were on the server should still be there. However, I get the impression that isn't the case. For a POP account that has deleted the messages from the server, unfortunately, no, there isn't an easy way to get them back. You could try a file recovery utility, but I'd put my money against getting much useful data back that way. If you want to try, I believe that TechTool includes a file recovery tool.
Since you don't have any backups, take this as your cue that you need to start keeping them regularly. Start today!

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

I am unable to delete an email account/profile in the settings for Mail/Contacts/etc.

I have 3 email accounts and on 2 of them there is the "Delete Account" red button at the bottom, but for one of them it is not an option. This particular account that I am trying to remove was installed using the iOS setup tool from GoDaddy.com, which is the host for my work email. These were the instructions I was asked to follow to setup the IMAP account on my iPad:
1. Go to the GoDaddy website (full site) in Safari
2. Type "Apple" in search bar top right.
3. Select "Automatically Setting up Email on Your Apple Mobile Device"
4. Select "Email InfoCenter"
5. Type in my email and password.
6. In email info center, select "Auto Setup fo iOS"
7. In the popup, there is a link in bold letters, select that and copy it, then paste it into your Safari address field at the top and go to that site.
8. Follow instructions and type in your password to validate.
This installs your IMAP account on your iPhone or iPad automatically. So when you go to Mail, it is there as an option.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to delete it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!
