Emails gone from 2 macs

I am in the process of switching from an iBook G3 to a MacMini. I use .Mac as my mail server.The iBook wasnt working for a while so I was slowly saving all my emails, but meanwhileI let my .Mac mailbox get overstuffed and it deleted all emails before June9th. It has also done this to the Inboxes in both the iBook and the MacMini. Are my old emails still in there somewhere, or only those I have saved into other mailboxes?

Worth a try to "Rebuild the mailbox".
Select the Inbox, then from the Mailbox menu, select Rebuild.

Email disappeared from Mac Mail.

Hello. Email has disappeared from Mac Mail. Running last updated Mavericks. I went back in the time machine settings to revert to the day before the mail disappeared, and each time I go in there, I can see the mail showing up. Except, when I go to revert, nothing transfers back into the account. Any advice on what is going on and how to fix it? Years of mail are now "gone."

Okay, there is definitely an error message coming up in the log. I only selected a few messages from 2008 to restore. I selected just one of the error log messages I received (essentially one for each email it tried to restore). Thanks for all your help. As an aside, if it helps you to respond, I've just started a computer science degree, so I'm starting to feel my way around this stuff, but have a good cursory understanding. Not to say that your directions aren't just succinct and perfectly laid out!

One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
Thanks.
- Jennings

Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

Email Alarms from .Mac account....not from home?

Is there any way to have the .mac account email a chosen address directly from .mac and not from my home computer. For example: I'm at work, my home computer is off, and I would like to have an alarm sent to my work address sometime during my work day. So far I can only see that it emails from the home "Mail" application.
Any ideas to get this to work?

The computer that sends the mail HAS to be turned on with an ACTIVE Internet connection. The .mac account has nothing to do with alerts. iCal is the one managing alerts using your user account address (the address specified in AddressBook under your name) and it tells Mail what to send and to whom.
Another way to achieve what you want without leaving your home computer on:
1. AT HOME: Add your work address under your user name in AddressBook.
2. AT HOME: Make sure iCal is using your work email address (when you have more than one address, arrows appear to allow you to chose).
3. HOME & WORK: Sync your computers using iSync (before leaving home and when you get at work).
4. AT WORK: you can verify in iCal if the alert has been added.
Have fun!

Auto display HTML attachments in body / email sent from mac mail

Hi,
One of my clients has received an email written in MAC Mail, the email doesn't display correctly instead what would be the body of the email appears as an html attachment, he doesn't want to have to click the attachment to preview it as he doesn't have to
do this on the iphone (also an apple device hmm....), I cant see any way of making it auto display the html in the body without clicking it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Can you confirm if the sender has this problem sending emails to other recipients?
Please logon your Webmail(or OWA), does that message display as an attachment as well?
If other Outlook recipients also see the email body as an attachment and you can verify it shows as an attachment on Web as well, I'm afraid we should blame the Apple Mail Client, since I've seen some Apple Mail users have this problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1947994?tstart=0
Kindly have the sender check if the setting like Edit > Attachments > Send Windows friendly Attachments
has been checked.
If I'm not getting this wrong, we should confirm this issue with Apple:
https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
Feel free to post back of course.

Japanese mojibake in email created from Mac OS X Mail. Help?

Since Tiger I am having more and more Japanese friends of mine say that my email is turning up in their inbox as mojibake (junk characters.)
I have found Article ID: 301986, "Mac OS X 10.4: Japanese message doesn't appear correctly in web mail or on cell phone when sent from Mail," which details how to set the NSPreferredMailCharset to ISO-2022-JP. I have made this change in the hopes that it would work but my friends continue to tell me that my mail is coming out as mojibake. This only affects friends using Windows.
I have confirmed in Property List Editor that the NSPreferredMailCharset parameter is still set to ISO-2022-JP.
Does any one have any ideas? Your help would be much appreciated.
2 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac - 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) Original 5GB iPod, Pepsi iTunes 6GB iPod Mini, Wallstreet Powerbook

This only affects
friends using Windows.
Windows Outlook can't handle some kinds of rich text from Mail correctly, unless perhaps you use UTF-8. UTF-8 is not the best choice for many Japanese recipients. So, as Allan suggested, see if Plain Text will help.

I am unable to email attachments from mac mail

I have a new Macbook Air with Moutain Lion. I am using Mac Mail. When I first started, i could add only a few attachments but now I cannot add a single one. This renders Mac Mail almost useless. I've tried adding/deleting accounts, checked all imap options, tried different ISP emails and new user, rebuilt mailbox, and on and on. I thought it might be a file privelage thing, but I don't think so. Drag and drop adds an empty icon.
Any help is welcomed. I will need to move onto a different app if I can't fix this.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
ls -1A {/,}Library/Mail/Bundles 2> /dev/null
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Migrate Email folders from Mac to Windows

Is it possible to migrate my emails from outlook 2011 that is running in my mac os to outlook 2010 that i have recently installed in my new windows 7 dell laptop.
Is there any simple and effective solution available to deal with this migration?

If you have less emails you can create a Gmail IMAP account, Now drag and drop Outlook for MAC data into the IMAP account, open that IMAP account in Microsoft Outlook. It is a time consuming process and a bit dificult too.
The other option is to use some third party olm to pst conversion utility like Olm to Pst Converter Pro Conversion tool which converts .olm files to .pst format in a single go thus saving precious time of user.
For more support you can have a look at these links:-

How to delete old email aliases from Mac Mail?

I have been a Mac user since the '90s and like many, evolved up from the original OS X to today's Lion. 10 years ago, we created email aliases in a very early version of Mac Mail and today, they still populate the drop-down menu when I'm selecting the email account to send from. Since there are 3 total aliases x 2 accounts (.Mac and .Me), I have 6 unneeded addresses which I'd like to delete.
I cannot use iCloud for this, as it shows that I do not have any aliases.. so there is nothing to delete.
Any ideas on how to clean up the email address drop-down and delete the old aliases?
Thanks everyone!
Eric

Open Mail's preferences, and edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Delete any servers for these accounts.
You said you checked iCloud for this. I assume you meant you went to iCloud.com and checked the accounts there for aliases.

Emails vanish from .mac account when deleting them from iphone!

The problem we are having is that on my wifes minimac when she deletes emails on her iphone they vanish from her desktop .mac mail programme.. not good!
But.... my email on my G5 .mac mail programme account is set to .Mac IMAP and my emails that come into my iphone dont get deleted from my desktop .mac mail programme.
How can i set up her account to not delete the mails from her minimac mail account?
Her email is an additional account - whereas my account is the master account!
can anyone help?

If you are accessing the account as an IMAP account with the email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized automatically between the email clients used to access the account. This cannot be changed. If you delete a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's email client, the message will no longer be available in the account's Inbox mailbox when checking the account with your computer's email client and vice-versa.
This is the nature of an IMAP account which cannot be changed.
If this is not the same for your account, this indicates you are accessing the account as a POP account with one or both email clients used to access the account.

How do i restore deleted email messages from mac mail back to hotmail server?

i have a hotmail email address i use, i have been using mac lion mail
here the problem - i found loads of my emails missing when using hotmail webpage
but in MacMail they are all there still.
i found that in macmail settings "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" was selected(after one week). (now i have disabled this function)
how can i send them back to the hotmail server email box?
Many thanks in advance for help. Rick

i think mac mail has erased the from hotmail server after placing them in the mac mail.
i need emails back on hotmail server for access to old emails when working out and about with ipad.
I do not know if you can unfortunately, having deleted them from the POP server and as Hotmail does not offer an iMap or Exchange solution for OSX they may be 'marooned'
I will search around and see if I can find a solution.
But before anything else happens backup your mail (Mailbox Menu>Export Mailbox) and save the file somewhere you can find it, you probably don't need to hear this but you should be (have been) backing up regularly, for this and many other reasons.
I'll post back if I can find a solution to the issue.

18 months of emails gone from inbox

This morning checking my email encountered the repeated login error discussed on the board. Once I was logged in and not getting logged back out, I noticed that approx. 18 months of emails are missing from my inbox. Bascially from middle of Aug to May of 2011 messages are gone. I did not delete them, they are not in any of my folders. Any idea/suggestion on how to get them back or where they went.
I am really tired and frustrated with Verizon email service the last few months.

Just my personal opinion, DO NOT COUNT ON A SERVER ELSEWHERE TO SAVE YOUR EMAIL. Personally I use a client on all my PC's to download copies. I have one of them set to delete them after 7 days, and the rest to leave a copy on the server.

I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document." When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

ICloud email (Migrated from .Mac MobileMe) no longer works on older device (iOS 4.2.1)

Hi there. Here is my question/concern.
I just migrated to iCloud from MobileMe (with the same Apple ID/email I have had since it was the free iTools.com years ago). Aside from the general up and down connectivity most people are experiencing (I am sure there is a heavy load - I know it will pass in a few days) I have encountered an unexpected side effect.
(Maybe I should have expected it, however)
My wife uses a 2nd generation iPod touch, which is still on 4.2.1 (as high as it will ever get). We got an alert on it about not being able to access our account on MobileMe (as it is now part of iCloud).
Is there any way to set it up manually to get at least the email ability back?

I've had this happen in the past due to a corrupted email or enclosure. You might want to try to log into your account from your desktop and delete mail from the server from the last few days, store locally on your desktop, and see if that clears it up though I get the impression you're talking about two different accounts so it's unlikely you would get the same email both places but that's usually been the issue for me.
