Could you give me any option on how can i bring them back on Mail "Inbox"

Before deleting an account in Mail, a warning message is provided indicating all mailboxes for the account will also be deleted but this does not affect any messages that remain on the server.
When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server the account. For POP type accounts, the following mailboxes in mbox format are created when the function is used by the account; INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk Mail is set to automatic).
The mbox files within each account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail and as the warning message indicates, the account named folder along with the associated account mailboxes within are also deleted at that time.
If you don't have and maintain a backup, I'm afraid your options for recovering the deleted mailboxes are not very promising.

  • When deleting a message in mail, how do you get it to advance to the next message? whenever i delete a message it goes back to the previous message.

    when trying to delete a message in mail, i would prefer to advance to the next message. i delete a message and the curser goes back to an earlier message. i usually delete the most recent messages first.

    First of all, you've posted in the Snow Leopard forum, but your profile says you're running Leopard, not Snow Leopard. What version of Mac OS X are you really running? You should always be sure that your profile matches the forum you're posting in, otherwise the "solution" to your problem may be totally ineffective.
    Part of your problem is that deleting Mail messages depends on how you have them ordered. If they are listed in Descending Date order (most recent at the top), and you want to delete a series of consecutive emails from an earlier time, you should select the last one in that group and press the Delete key; with each one that's deleted, the selection will move to the next one up the list. You could also select the first one in the group, then Shift-click on the last one in the group and press Delete to get rid of them in one step.
    If you have them listed in Date Ascending order (most recent at the bottom), you would have to select the oldest message(s) you want to delete and select it (or them) and press the Delete key, and the selection would move down the list to the next most recent message in the window.

  • Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

    I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
    What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
    The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
    I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
    Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
    I would appreciate you help on this issue.

    The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
    Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
    I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
    I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
    Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
    I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
    Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
    The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
    Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
    "MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
    I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
    You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
    And thank you for answering my queries.

  • How to delete multiple messages in mail

    How to select a bunch of messages in mail to delete.

    I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
    The conspiracy.
    Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually. 
    And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete 
    I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
    That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
    I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
    I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

  • How to delete gmail messages in Mail for Mac

    I am using Mail 7.3 on my Macbook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.5.
    I use Gmail for my email.
    When I DELETE a message in Gmail it goes into the Gmail Archive (and stays in the All Mail folder)- it does NOT get Deleted.
    Gmail help says I need to drag each message to the Trash when using Mail as Delete will not work.
    Really?
    This is a drag to do, besides there is no Trash folder.
    I have a 'Bin' folder and a 'Deleted Messages' folder so I'm trying to use them.
    Still for Mail and Gmail not to be compatible for Delete seems crazy.
    I have tried changing the Mailbox Behaviours in Preferences but it seems to make no difference.

  • TS3899 How do I select and delete multiple messages from mail?

    How can I select mutiple messages in my inbox and send them all to the trash without selecting each message and trashing it? Using the "Mark All" command does not give me that option--only the "Flag" and "Mark as Read" options.

    I know there is no delete all option within Mail app but this workaround does the trick
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

    I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
    I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
    When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder.  However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it).  It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does.  If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted.  However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
    How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad?  When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
    Thank you very much,
    Jesse

    I figured it out.  Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages."  I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

    On my samsung you just hold your finger on the email and the delete choice comes up BEFORE you open that spam mail. I use an Imap account so the emails are not fully downloaded.

    You should watch the tutorial videos if you have not.
    In answer to your question, slide your finger over the email header and to the right. A red Delete button will appear. Tap Delete. Check out this clip on how to delete email.

  • Does "delete sent messages" in Mail refer to deleting on the server only?

    I want to delete my sent messages from the server but not from the "sent" mailbox in Mail on my HD.  I am afraid to check the "delete sent messages" box in the mailbox behavior preferences because it does not specify whether they would be deleted just on the server, just on my HD, or on both.  Can somebody please clarify this for me?
    Thank you.

    i don't know why you would want to do that, but people have their reasons. I do not believe you can delete an Email on one device and not let it syncronize. You know there are ways to hide an Email on your device, or just mark it as read, but it's not like Emails take up your hard storage or anything.

  • Lost inbox messages in mail

    I was revisting my Entourage mailbox after many months of not using it, saw old messages, saw messages from my "mail" mailbox, (but don't remember how I set that up.) When I closed out of Entourage and went back to my "mail" mailbox all the messages except for the most recent one had disappeared. (I had about 15 messages sitting in the inbox) Can anyone tell me what I may have done and how I can retrieve the messages?
    While is was in Entourage a dialog box came up asking something about keychains and I chose an option that I didn't understand and thought that I could go back and undo the action. I was just trying to figure out what was going to happen! Not a smart thing to do, but I was trying to learn...

    Did any of the emails have lines drawn through them? If so those were deleted messages by some other mail application, that were still in the trash, at the time Entourage was last opened. For some strange reason, Entourage shows them if it was not the application used to delete them, until closed then reopened.
    The keychain thing is not a problem. It just allows Entourage to access your email password automaticly, thus you do not have to enter it everytime you use Entourage.

  • TS4009 how do i delete multiple messages in Mail

    For a variety of reasons I have 8000+ messages in my icloud Mail inbox. Deleting them individually would take forever and even using the shift key to delete a block would be very time consumming because I can only see less than ten per page.
    How can I speed up the deletion process eg is there anyway to do a serch for say all the Facebook messages, not just the ten which would show up on the page from a search, and then delete everyone?
    Any suggestions very welcome - thanks

    Hi Nick,
    Can I check we are all using the same language for the same items ?
    In the File Menu of Messages is the Delete Conversation with the keystrokes of CMD + Backspace is listed.
    If you highlight an individual IM in the Chat window side then whole conversation will be deleted after you confirm deletion.
    There is no Menu item for removing individual IMs or iMessages from such a chat/conversations.
    However, as I eventually understood Sig to be saying, you can highlight items in the chat window side and use the backspace (delete) key and remove those individual items from the chat/Conversations.
    As Messages is iChat+ and has iMessages added to what iChat could do I refer to Buddy List connections as "IMs" for individual parts and "Chats" for the whole thing.
    Whereas I say "iMessages" for individual parts and "Conversations" for the whole thing for the iMessages connections you have going on.
    I stated this in my original reply
    In an open Conversation or Chat  individual IMs or Messages  also cannot be selected to be deleted.
    Highlighting one message and then using CMD + Backspace will produce the Pop up to delete the whole Conversation/Chat.
    As I have posted to Sig I made the mistake of using the File Menu keystroke for deleting a Conversation/Chat  when trying to delete individual IMs/iMessages and informed you incorrectly about this.
    I apologise for any confusion this has caused.

  • Archive instead of delete gmail messages in Mail

    Does anyone know of a way to force Apple Mail to archive messages rather than move them to the trash. I'd like to be able to keep my Inbox clear but keep a copy of all my messages. At the moment the only solution I've found is to drag the message to the "all mail" folder but this is rather laborious.
    Ideally when I'd like an archive button or keyboard shortcut so that when I've finished with an email I can quickly archive and move onto the next message.
    I understand it is possible to do this with Thunderbird but I like the mobileme syncing of notes from my iPhone with Mail.
    Thanks

    I have a similar question regarding how to save deleted messages from a .me mail account (IMAP). I like to keep my inbox limited to one page of e-mails. Rather than drag the e-mails that I have read to some on my Mac folder, I prefer just to delete them. It is much faster. However, now mobile me is permanently erasing the trash after 30 days. This has resulted in several months of lost e-mail which is now unobtainable. I have a cloned backup, Time Machine, and Mozy–none of which seem able to restore the old e-mail. There is a preference in mail which has an option to never permanently erase deleted messages. Apparently this does not apply to mobile me.
    Is there any way to delete messages from the inbox and not have them go to the trash but rather preserve them forever on my Mac or on mobile me? Or, do I have to individually drag each one over to a folder to preserve them?
    Thanks

  • Deleting email messages in mail

    Please help!  while I'm using my macbook or ipad in mail to highlight an email so I can preview it in the pane, I'd like to be able to go through this process without having the highlight jump to the email above as I review and delete messages.  Is there away for the highlight to keep scrolling to the emails below without randomly jumping to the mail message above.  I have tons of emails to delete daily but I need to review each one before deleting and this would make life a whole lot less frustrating if I could figure this out.  thanks

    That's correct - if you delete a POP account, you lose all built-in mailboxes (inbox, sent, drafts). Deleting an IMAP account doesn't lose your inbox mail, since it's on the server, but if your Sent mail is set not to sync, you may lose that.
    On My Mac mailboxes are not affected either way.

  • Update on 10-31-09 Deleted Inbox Messages

    When I performed the system-prompted update yesterday, the emails in my Inbox were deleted.  They were still in the Messages application, and I could add them to a Saved folder in the email program, but they won't show up in the Inbox.  I also received Welcome messages from Blackberry inviting me to set up both my email account and Facebook account on the handheld (I didn't have to do either as the accounts were still in tact).  No other data or applications were altered during the update.
    I don't really understand what the Email Reconciliation function is all about, but I had the setting at Prompt before deleting prior to the update.
    Does anyone know why this happened?  Can i get my emails back into the Inbox?  And how do I prevent it from happening again during future system updates?
    Thanks so much!
    Jill

    If the "deleted" messages are still present in your messages application, then you haven't lost them.
    Where, what inbox are you seeing them deleted in? Do you have Gmail? If so, then it could that the gmail sync of read messages is working as intended and not showing.
    Does that sound right?
