Deleted account - Where is my inbox

Hi - I stupidly deleted my email account and now my inbox is no longer... I wondered if anyone knew where it might be and if it can be restored?
Many thanks

I'm afraid it's gone once you delete the account if it was POP, if IMAP making a new account of the same should get it all back.
It's possible sometimes to recover some of the files, but you must quit using the Computer immediately.
Either boot this one in Target mode...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
And recovering from another Mac, or booting this Mac from another HDD, then using Data Rescue II...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or professional Data Recovery Services.
BUT, every second you use that Mac the chances will be slimmer.

Email deleted account. where can I apply for a new one?

Email deleted account. where can I apply for a new one?

If you want a refund, take it back where you bought it.
As for the rest of your question, until you give us something resembling useful information, like what EXACTLY the problem is, and what error message(s) you're getting, we can't even begin to guess.

Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have purchased paid for extra iCloud data storage. Can I transfer this additional storage over to my other account?

I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have paid for extra iCloud data storage. Can I transfer the data storage over to my other account? I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

You'll have to contact Apple about that.
Their iCloud support page indicates you cannot merge or transfer iCloud accounts.
What do you mean by, I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

Deleted mail account - where to find deleted emails

Hi there
I have done the same stupid mistake others have done and accidentally deleted my mail account. I was trying to delete my gmail account in mail but selected my primary home email account instead.(I blame the computer) Thing is, it seems a 'partial' delete, in that this morning I still receive my incoming emails, ie the account settings are still there. Also all my sent emails, and trash from that account are still there. But as for the incoming emails for the past 5 years - nothing. And in library/mail there is no record of this account folder. Where does the deleted stuff go, if it doesn't go in the trash, and why did my deleted account action not wipe all the emails, incoming and outgoing, and not the account setup details in mail preferences? I am just curious because there is a small part of me that hopes somehow i can retrieve the emails from within the computer without having to pay for a data rescue program. (there would only be about 20 or so emails that we've need to keep for work purposes)

hi!
I have a question -- if I delete my mailbox in mail (one of them) -- which is my gmail personal account -- will it delete everything off Mail AND my gmail or just Mail Application? So hypothetically, if I delete the gmail account in Mac Mail and when I sign in that same email on gmail.com -- all my mail will still be there ?
I want to just have my work email on Mac Mail and I dont want my personal email on Mac Mail as well.
Thank you!

What happens when you got Setting; iCloud, Account and hit "Delete Account" . What get deleted from where?

When mywife set up her iPhone for iCloud, she entered my .me account the she uses for purchases rather than hers that she wants to sync contacts, etc.. from. Can she simply go to settings, icloud, account and 'delete account' and then add the correct one? delete scares me ;-) And it MY account. Not sure what is getting deleted.

Should be under
Settings - > iCloud -> Remove account (Big red button at the bottom of hte list)

Delete account without losing mail etc

I have a problem - recently hit an existing account - where I can no longer get pop mail. I have checked with ISP and there appears to be no problems their end and activity monitor shows (sometimes) mail being downloaded but it doesn't appear in theinbox.
The general suggestions is to create a new account and try that - but you cannot have two account with same name. How do I delete an account without losing my mail boxes eg inbox, sent etc. I obviously want the contents to stay linked to the account?
Any ideas? Thanks

You've been lucky, I'd say - although mail gives a warning when you try to delete an account, changing the details to allow creating an identical account can result in lost emails ( It happened to me).
Anyhow - you've already moved/copied emails from the renamed account to the new one?. Can you actually open & read the emails correctly?
If so.... imp you're quite safe to delete the old account.
But you want a backup - & quite right too.
Quit mail
Make a copy of the Mail folder found in home/library
Make a copy of the file 'com.apple.mail.plist' found in home/library/preferences.
You're now able to restore mail the to the exact state it was when you made the copies. To restore it, you need to quit mail & drag/move the copies back to their original locations in library & lib/preferences - choosing replace when you get a duplicate warning message,
Start mail again & all will be restored.....but you'll lose any mail/changes from after you made the backup.
Check my recent post on getting just some mail back from the backup folder

Find IP adres from deleted account

Hello,
Today I found out that I was chatting to a catfish, he ore she record me when I was showing my body (I didnt knew that). After the chatting he/she deleted his/her account so I was not able to see what the IP adres was of the skype account. My quistion: How can I find out what the IP adres is of the deleted account? ( anne.panne874 ) So I can go to the police... PLEASE can somebody help me?!

It depends - if you deleted your account from within Mail then it's unlikely you'll be able to get your Sent messages back but the place where they're kept on your Mac is Library > Mail then you'll see your email accounts in that folder - within your email account folder you'll see inbox.mbox, sent messages.mbox etc.

Can I delete account without deleting messages?

I have old email messages from friends and family that I want to keep in my mail folders, but I no longer use that email account. Can I delete the account without deleting all the historic email associated with it? Or do I have to look at that now grayed account name forever in my sidebar?

thanks. That is just what I needed. I currently have three accounts, including the one I'm deleting.
If I understand you right, all I need to do is move all my messages out of the INBOX of the account I'm deleting, and into other folders I created under the ON MY MAC section. Deleted account messages will only be deleted from the INBOX. (well, HELP should have said so, instead it just said ALL mail from that account will be deleted).
Now, if I SENT mail from the account I delete, that account's mail in the SENT folder be deleted also because it has not been moved into a folder I created in the ON MY MAC section, Correct?

On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

In email (gmail) when I delete a message in my Inbox the next time I open mail all of the items I deleted come back into my Inbox. How do I delete them permanently?

In email (gmail) when I delete a message in one of my email accounts inbox and then close email, the next time I open email for that account all of the deleted messages reappear in my inbox. My email settings are to move all deleted messages to Trash upon closing email but but that doesn't work in one of my email accounts. It works fine in another gmail account I have. How do I get rid of the emails I wish to delet permanantly?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

Delete Workflow items from workflow inbox.

Hello All,
We are using workflow in MSS for Compensation Management. As part of this an email will be sent to the managers when a compensation needs an approval. There are some workflow items under workflow inbox ( SBWP ) . How can I delete emails which I don't want to execute. I don't see any delete button. I can see delete buttons for the documents under inbox, but these emails that I want to delete are under workflow in Inbox.
Thanks a lot for your help and points will be rewarded for any helpful solution.
Thanks,
Chakri.

Thank You Suresh,
You are refering to the emails in the inbox ( SBWP ) where I can delete my emails with the help of a delete button. But I am referring to the workflow items that are present under INBOX -> WORKFLOW. There is no delete button on these workflow items. If we execute these workflow items then they will be deleted automatically. I am looking for a solution by which I can delete (clean up) all the workflow items that are not executed from last year so that we can be ready for our compensation for this year.
Thanks,
Chakri.

If I delete one message from my inbox they all disappear -why & how do I retrieve them?

Twice this week I have deleted a message from my inbox, using the edit button & then highlighting the message to delete, then pressing the delete button at the bottom of the page & ALL my emails in my inbox disappear! Where are they & how can I retrieve them?

wow thanks I don't understand why no one could have told me this. By any chance do you know why iTunes Store won't work onmy laptop and says an error occurred then some random number like -9872 or something

Deleted Mail Messages reappearing in InBox

iCloud Mail is acting like a POP account.
If I delete a message on my Mac, it doesn't get deleted from the iPhone's InBox.
Plus, deleted messages eventually reappear on the Mac as if I never deleted them.
Even before iCloud, using MobileMe, deleting a message from either my Mac or my iPhone would not delete the message from the other device.

Hello Joe.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Certain messages keep re-appearing in my inBox, even when I delete them.
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
Mail is only receiving some of the email messages sent to me.
Do you have any custom rules? It looks like Mail is downloading all the messages, but your rules are processing them in an unexpected way...
Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?
