Email that I've read disappears from inbox and I want to keep it

Hi there-
I am helping a friend who has Leopard and the latest Apple Mail. She says that she has read some of her email and then after a while it disappears from her in box. I can show her how to delete old mail, but she wants to keep it. Does it have to do with keeping it on the server? She has AOL and uses Apple Mail to maintain it all.
thanks for your help.
Anne Z

Anne,
AOL by policy deletes messages in the Inbox (and also the Sent) after 27 days. To save longer, the messages must be moved to the folder named Saved that AOL sets up on the server. There is nothing in Mail to cause this, but AOL's own action.
Is this perhaps what she is having issue with?

  • SMS disappeared from Inbox

    I have just formatted the Nokia N95 8GB phone due to the error showing as "Startup Failure". There was SMS in inbox earlier. However, when i started installing software - Mini Opera/Fring/MFE/Yamee etc- i have realized that all the SMS are disappeared from Inbox - Inbox is completely empty. Can anybody suggest on how this has occured and how can i restore those missing SMS?

    This seems to be a common issue with the S60 mobile operating system.  No comment from Nokia regarding a resolution so far.
    My E75 phone has also experienced the disappearing-messages-act saved in my SD card when my phone restarted from a low battery shut down.  Inbox/Draft/Sent Items were completely wiped out.
    I tried to change the SMS location from SD Card to Phone Memory then back to SD Card again.
    I also tried to (safely & properly) remove the SD Card then reinserted it back.  Still no go.
    The worst part is that I spent 3 days searching the Internet and found that it's not rare for this problem to occur on an S60 platform yet no resolution from the web nor does Nokia offer any solution to it's customers.
    They're about to lose a 12 year loyal and solid Nokia Fan (along with his friends and relatives to migrate to the Blackberry & iPhone Bandwagon) soon if they can't help us retrieve the important messages that was wiped out from our inbox. <sigh>..

  • After downloading Safari upgrade 5.0.5 emails prior to 12/2010 disappeared from my hotmail account. How do I restore?

    on 4/22/2011 I downloaded an upgrade "Safari 5.0.5" and afterwards I noticed emails prior to Dec 2010 disappeared from my Hotmail account on my iMAC. The are still in residence on my PC running Windows Vista meaning this problem is specific to my iMAC running version 10.6.7. I have the disappeared email problem whether i use Safari, Firefox or Camino browsers. What can I do to restore my emails on my imac?

    It you are viewing the email from a Mac browser app, then it stands to reason that the email resides on the Microsoft mail server, not on the iMac. If the email is no longer available for viewing, then logically the email has been removed from the server.
    The question then is, how are you accessing the email from the Windows machine? Are you also viewing the email from a browser app, such as Internet Explorer, or are you using an email client app? If you are also viewing the email from a browser on the Windows computer, then you have a bit of an enigma, why is the email available for viewing from a Windows browser, and not from a Mac browser? However, if you are using an email client app, such as Entourage, then the email client app has likely been configured to download the email to your Windows box and to then delete the email from the server after having done so.

  • I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the mail "file" has 2GB. How can I permantely delete this information from my iphone4?

    How can I permantely delete email information from my iphone4?
    I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the Mail "file" still has 2GB...

    Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
    thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again...

  • In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?

    Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

  • Work Item or Document is disappear from Inbox

    Hiya,
    Any ideas on why the workflow item or document is disappear from inbox SBWP once you clicked to display/view the document without perform any task action.
    Cheers,

    Hiya Raj,
    "you can check log of executed workitem from SBWP, go to OUTBOX-> "WORK ITEMS EXECUTED BY ME" .there you can find workitems you performed from your INBOX."
    Those work items which have executed are flow to OUTBOX -> Work Items Executed By ME.
    Where is the place to check logs?
    However as mentioned those messages in both inbox folder "Unread Document" or "Document" is disappear after you clicked on either those folders without read the message or perform any action. Any ideas?
    Cheers..

  • I lost my email that was linked to my Apple ID and my password from Apple ID it says that it is wrong... What should I do? Hackers?!?

    I lost my email that was linked to my Apple ID and my password from Apple ID it says that it is wrong... What should I do? Hackers?!?
    I can't just create a new Apple ID once my first one was the other one......
    Please help me

    It's unlikely that hackers are the problem, but there's no way of knowing for sure. In the meantime, you've done exactly the right thing: create a new Apple ID (or change the password on your old ID.

  • Reading message from inbox

    I want to write a J2ME application which will read message from inbox.i used the following code to open fileconnection with inbox
    FileConnection filecon = (FileConnection)
    Connector.open("file:///c:/system/mail/directory");
    I am using Nokia 6610i.I am getting the following error:"The requested protocol does not exist file:///c:/system/mail/directory"
    Can anyone help me out?

    Hi
    If you want to be able to store data and then retrieve it, the you can use RMS, but if you want to get data already stored on your phone then you need the FileConnection API. There is no work around this as far as I know.

  • I cannot open older yahoo emails that I already read with firefox, I can read them if I use IE. How do I fix this?

    In my yahoo emails while using Firefox I cannot open up older saved emails that I already read. My computer hangs up and says unresponsive. At that point I can only shut down Firefox through task manager due to pc freezing up. I tried IE and I was able to open older emails. I tried clearing cookies, cache, etc. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.
    * Clear the Cache
    Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    and
    * Remove Cookies
    '''''Warning ! ! '' This will log you out of all sites you're logged in to.'''
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Privacy.'''
    Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''.

  • Apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. why is this?

    Firstly, I really like the new reminders in iOS 7. However, I noticed that apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
    why is this? am i doing something from?

    unfortunately, that does not address my question. your link describes how to clear the missed section of center.  I know how to clear the missed section of notification center, as I said in the original question. I will re-peat my question to clarify. it is:
    apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center. 
    why is this? am i doing something wrong?
    the behavior I would expect would be that when i click the circle on the "today" view. it would clear it out from the missed and all view so i would not have to clear in 2 areas.
    I Hope this clarifies...

    Hi, MPiaM.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer.  However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • Music completely disappeared from itunes and computer

    I got on my iTunes today and my music all said that the location could not be found. I don't know how or why, for I haven't changed anything or moved my music folder around. Out of over 2000 songs, only 800 remain. But all my folders are still there. All the artist folders in my iTunes folder are all there...but I have no idea where the music went. I did a search and the songs didn't come up. WHY did my music disappear from iTunes and WHY only some of them?! I'd love to say I have them saved on my iPod but my iPod is only 4 gigs and I had over 12 gigs of music so obviously I can't recover all of them. Someone help me find my music!!!

    Nobody likes replying to posts like this - if you've searched all your hard drives and the music files are gone, then they're gone.
    I assume you looked in the Recycle Bin and did a Win Explorer search instead of just looking in the known folders?
    Who knows why this happened! Disasters like this usually convince folks to make regular backups.

  • I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' Can anyone help please

    I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?  
    Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
    Many thanks

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
