Emails deleting themselves

Why would my email program accidentally delete my emails from ON MY MAC section, as well as the rest of my emails. I know there still on my mac somewhere, but why isn't in my email program.
It has completly deleted my two inboxes. Also all my stored emails in my ON MY MAC section of my folders. HELP

Which eMail program do you use? Apple Mail? Entourage/Outlook?

ICloud emails deleting themselves...

Facebook worth $100b? This one is as mindboggling...
Scenario:
Since I upgraded to iCloud from Mobile.me incoming emails to my me.com account are automatically deleting themselves every time mail is refreshed. Emails disappear from icloud.com, my iPad and iPhone, yet they remain in the Mail application inbox on my MacBook Pro.
Background:
All three devices are running the latest OS.
I only have one iCloud account.
I haven't touched any settings within Mail.
I've tried deleting and reinstating the iCloud accounts on the iPad and iPhone.
I've restored data on the iPad and iPhone.
I've rebooted the iPad and iPhone.
I have been for a long walk...
There have been no changes to any settings on any devices since migrating to iCloud.
Apart from everyday rules allocating emails to various files, there are no rules set up in Mail to delete emails or similar (and nothing has been touched since migration).
Sent emails are successfully synching across all three devices.
Any ideas would be *very* welcome, cheers.

Well, it turns out that Facebook can't sustain an initial $100b valuation after all; and maybe this problem isn't as mindboggling either...
Having tried various scenarious to see any made a difference, I found that when I quit the Mail application on the MacBook, the emails on the iPad and iPad stayed in place.
Although no new rules or filters had been put in place since migration - and none had ever been in place to delete emails - I tried removing all the rules completely.
Again, this worked, and all emails on all devices stayed in place.
However, as soon as any rule is installed, eg to put all emails sent to a certain address into a particular folder, the deleting problem starts again across the board.
I've reported the issue to Apple who have been helpful and they're investigating.
An inbox swollen with unfiltered email is far better than no email at all...

Read emails deleting themselves

I saw on the verizon help website that read emails can only be deleted when it is manually done, however my emails are deleting themselves after a certain number of days without me doing anything. Is there a way to stop the emails from deleting?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

OK, that helps, now we know your environment.
Verizon's policy is to delete emails that are left in your Inbox after 30 days. Here is a link to some information from Verizon on this policy:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Troubleshooting/QuestionsOne/85628.htm
Now if emails are being deleted in less than 30 days, I have no idea, there are no settings in either the Basic or Rich webmail clients that will affect how long an email is kept in the Inbox.
You should be able to ensure that emails are not lost by creating additional folders (at leat one) and moving any emails you want to keep to those folders. There is a My Folders item in the list on the left side of the window with an icon you can click on to create a folder. I highly encourage you to do this, as if you create folders with meaningful names you will be able to find saved emails more easily anyway.
One more thing: if you are on a FiOS or reasonably high-speed DSL internet connection you might want to switch to the Rich client, it provides some additional function over the Basic client (but not any option about how long emails will be kept in the inbox).
And I guess I will add that if you have not already done so, you should probably choose the option in Mail under My Settings to save your sent messages.
Edit to add: another way to fix this issue would be to stop using the web interface and instead use a PC based client like Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail. those clients download the emails from the Verizon mail server to your PC and store them there, so they are then completely under your countrol, and can be accessed even when you do not have an internet connection. One down side of doing this is that those stored emails are not available if you do not have access to the PC they are stored on (although most PC clients do offer an option to leave emails on the server for a user-specified period of time).
Hope this helps.

Emails deleting themselves on Blackberry Pearl after a few hours

I have set up an Email account on my Blackberry Pearl for a UKmail Exchange email account so I can see my emails on my Blackberry. However after a few hours the incoming emails are deleting themselves only leaving the sent emails. Emails are deleting themselves before I can see them.
I've looked in Email Settings but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to stop them. Has anyone had the same problem?

Check and see if your WiFi is on. I had (have) the same problem when I leave it on and go to work. The phone constantly searches for WiFi and the battery at a record pace. I turn it on only when I am at home or where I can access WiFi, other times I leave it off.
I also hear the Ebay app is a huge drain.
I also limited the home pages, I had over twelve that i think were constantly updating. I limited it to one.
Maybe one or all of these will help.
Regards.
It's always funny when it's someone else.

My emails keep deleting themselves on iPad air

Hi
My emails delete themselves and I cannot find them in any folders

What email service are them from? Yahoo? gmail? icloud? ??? Are you sure the service is an IMAP service. If so, when you delete an email on one device, it deletes from all devices. Or.. do you have a rule defined that deletes emails given a criteria?

Bought an ipad mini and my emails keep deleting themselves. They're there one second and gone the next

Bought an ipad mini and my emails keep deleting themselves. They're there one second and gone the next.....any suggestions?

The official return policy of the Apple Store for anything other than an iPhone is fourteen days, not 30 days. Any return of an iPad beyond fourteen days, even if a new model is released, would be an exception, not policy.
Regards.

Emails on my Tour have started deleting themselves after about 30 - 45 minutes of receiving them

Over the last couple of weeks, all my received emails have started deleting themselves. All the emails I had prior to this happening have also been deleted. If I send myself an email, it'll appear on my BB and then delete itself after about 30 - 45 minutes. If I send email from my BB, the sent message will stay there. It's only received emails that are deleted.
This only started happening recently and prior to that there were no issues. I haven't changed any email settings. This happens regardless of whether or not Outlook is running or not.

Hi,
Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.
If you search the Internet you will find numerous posts and suggestions that describe your situation with many, many different suggestions and possible solutions. You will find pages and pages of suggestions that may or may not solve your problem. There isn't any one time cure all suggestion based on your symptom description. You might want to try a few suggestions and see if you get lucky.
You may need to separate the "wheat from the chaff" (hardware issues from software issues) or you might be chasing the issue for many, many hours.
I have seen hardware failures produce similar issues. You might try running diagnostics for 1-2 hours and see if the diagnostics will detect an issue. Even hardware diagnostics are not a cure all solution for possible hardware issues.
If you can roll your PC back to a known good Windows restore point before the issue started then give that a try. Otherwise back up your data to external media and use the external HP recovery media to bring your PC back to a factory day one condition. Then without loading a lot of software add ons, try some multiple browsing for the time period that the issue typically occurs.
Post your results.

APPLICATIONS DELETING THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF MY EYES

I am an idiot. Strap in folks. If you only want the problem, not how I got there, skip to paragraph 3.
I've been teaching myself html, php, css, etc... and I got in over my head when I tried to get safari to open a .php file saved locally (works fine when opened from server). I looked up why this was happening and I found people saying I needed to enable php and Apache. I did the steps to enable it but Safari would still only open a .php file as html code. This is no longer on my list of worries but is relevant to my problem.
I was also learning at the time about myslq and learned that myslq and Apache work together so I decided why not, I'll download and install myslq while I'm at it. It turns out myslq didn't install correctly, so I was searching through forums and found that I needed to go into terminal and change some directories and such. Eventually I got myslq to start correctly after dinking in terminal (stupid). By now I realized this was way over my head so I wanted to get it off my computer. Well, I should have realized deleting things using terminal was extremely risky. I did it anyway, looking through more forums, learning about directories I needed to delete and how to delete them.
Then I noticed my applications folder in the dock was displaying an app icon, not a folder icon. In fact, it's changing the app icon it displays every couple seconds. I open it up and when it expands it seems like I don't have all the apps that should be in there...Sure enough I open applications in a finder window and all apps starting with A-L have been deleted. I sit there astonished for a second and another application was deleted right in front of my face! I immediately shut down my computer.
Did this begin, and I'm sure it did, when I was so foolishly deleting directories by copying and pasting directions on forums on how to delete mysql?
I have since rebooted my computer and apps are no longer deleting themselves.
I luckily have time machine so everything is backed up. Is it possible to just do a full restore of everything to a point in the day before I started all the myslq nonsense? If that is possible, would that change back all the terminal directories I may have deleted as well, or does TM not back those up? I'm clueless on what to do next. I don't just want to drag back the deleted apps one at a time, I want to get all of my mistakes off.
Help! Let me know if I need to include anything, if there is a terminal history I can somehow put in here or something.
THANK YOU!

PHP can only be run from a server.

Correct.
I did the steps to enable it but Safari would still only open a .php file as html code.
The only way to run PHP in Safari is through the address bar.
I was also learning at the time about myslq
mysql

Which forums are those? Most of that information on the internet is out of date at best and often flat out wrong. In the future, it would be best to ask here on Apple Discussions.

No doubt. Don't feel too bad. I don't know of anyone who has used ever used UNIX and didn't delete their home directories at some point - or worse.
I don't just want to drag back the deleted apps one at a time, I want to get all of my mistakes off.
You can always boot from your install disk, use Disk Utility to erase your startup drive, then reinstall a factory-fresh OS. I do that every couple of years, when I get a new computer, or on a major OS upgrade. It helps to clean out a lot of junk.

Install files delete themselves

Hi everyone I just bought a 2gig nano and i have windows xp.
i tried installing with the cd it came with and everything looked fine, but then when i looked for the files there were none, no folders, nothing. i changed my install directory to my desktop so i could see if it even created them or not and i saw the "itunes" and other icons appear and then at the end of the installation they disappeared as if deleting themselves, and then i got the error saying the installation was interrupted.
i have been working and searching for answers about this since yesterday but i havent seen anything similar, i also had the problem of it taking my cd-roms away but i can fix that later right now i'd just like to get itunes installed and working so i can use my ipod. i even tried downloading the itunes installer separately and it does the same thing.
there is an "itunessetup.exe" icon on my desktop with the classic white square icon, and it says cannot delete because its in use but there are no itunes processes running at all.
i tried booting in safe mode and nothing works there either.
i will appreciate any help u have to offer!
thank you for takin the time to read this

well done dynobyke!
for some alternate techniques with this one (especially if you've got XP Pro, see):
iTunes for Windows installation quits with 1607 error, while publishing product information, or is interrupted

Songs delete themselves

Hi, I've been set on a quest to figure out my nieces ipod nano (i have a regular 2nd gen ipod)- her ipod charges fine and i just set it to my mac with no problem but the issue that i'm trying to resolve is that her ipod will get songs on it for about a week, then when the battery dies the songs are all erased... I searched for as long as I had the patience to find something on this topic but I couldnt find anything... so to recap...
- battery is fine
- songs upload fine
- songs delete themselves when ipod battery dies (about a week into normal usage)
how do I get the songs to stay on after the ipod dies?? (I realize that keeping it charged would eliminate issues but she is 8 and that won't ever happen)
thanks... Dani

Is your iPod set to automatically update? If so, are all the songs still in your iTunes library? If not, this is probably the cause.
If it is, you may want to restore your iPod and then resync it with iTunes...

Also, make sure you never disconnect your iPod when it says not to.
Is the software on your iPod and your computer up to date?

Podcasts delete themselves while playing

Hi all-
There's one podcast to which I subscribe (KQRS Morning Show) which will randomly delete themselves from my 5S while they are playing, and I am forced to re-download them. I do not sync them with my Mac, and this happens throughout the day while I'm away from my home. This is irritating beyond belief. Any thoughts or opinions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Go to the podcast page of the library on that computer and click the settings tab at the bottom. Check and see what the "Keep" option is set to.

Podcasts automatically delete themselves???!!!!!

HELP!!! Whenever I listen to/watch a podcast, the little blue dot that was next to them vanishes. Then when I update my iPod, the watched podcasts delete themselves from my iPod and computer!!!! Has this happened to anyone else? I also notice that when the podcasts delete themselves, I can't put them back on. How/why does this happen, and how can I fix it????
PS, My iPod is an 80GB video and only 3 days old.

Good for you, football_gurl90!
I find it hilarious you first thought you were running iTunes on a Win ME machine. Coupled with your comment about unintelligent podpeople, I can only say -
Happy podding to you, dear!

Segments of a single track deleting themselves in Garageband.

I was going through two vocal tracks segment by segment (recording by recording) and once I reached the very end and scrolled back, all the segments on one of the tracks, save the last one I had been working on, had deleted themselves. This has happened to me twice, and on the same single vocal track (I worked on two at the same time). Anyone know how I can get these recordings back?
