Emails vanished - although Spotlight finds them

Even after rebuilding each & every mailbox, there are emails that seem to have disappeared - although I can find them with Spotlight & open them in Mail.app by clicking at the Spotlight search results. The vanished mail opens - everything is fine. I close it - and it's gone again, only to be found again by Spotlight, not by Mail.app.
What else could I do?
Thanks a lot
Peter

Sorry - another rebuild worked!

Thank you very much!
I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
But yes it is:
I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
I am going to try that now.
Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!

Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!

When I open up my emails and close them, they disappear and I cannot find them. Where are they going? Is there a setting that I have to change?

Once I open up my emails they disappear and I cannot find them anymore. Is there a setting that I need to change to stop this from happening?

Are you tapping any of the icons at the of the Mail app after opening them, or do they disappear without you doing anything ? And if you have more than one account on the iPad, does it happen on your other accounts as well ?

Some emails don't appear in the folder list, I can only find them by using Search Messages

As of yesterday, new emails from one regular correspondent do not appear in the list of messages when I click on Inbox. The only way I can access them is to use "Edit/Find/Search Messages". They are still in Inbox, they haven't been moved to another folder.
Thunderbird version is 31.6.0.

None of these apply, the messages have been received, I can find them using Search Messages but they do not appear in the folder contents.

My old emails and documents are not showing up in email or finder both from the same date and I cannot find them anywhere. I do not believe I have any archive settings on. Any idea how I get them to show up?

Tried to fix spotlight indexing and lost my entire drive and backup; can you help me find them?

Hi,
I am in a complete crisis. If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful.
I tried to correct my Spotlight indexing by using a combination of the sudo mdutil -E / , sudo mdutil -i on / , and sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100 commands from the terminal.
I am not sure what happened, but the computer went into an interminable color-wheel and, when I shut down and rebooted after an hour or two, I found that both my main drive and my backup drive had severe problems.
DiskUtility volunteered to correct these. I ran it on my main drive and found that my entire directory appears to have been erased.
Disk Warrior cannot repair. Nor can TechTool. Both declare that the directory structure is now beyond repair (which they also say of my former backup clone).
My main drive now has barely nine files left - and a handful of empty folders:
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Application Support/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Frameworks/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.bittorrent.uTorrent.plist
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Autosave Information/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/KextPropertyValues_OSBundleHelper_i386.plist.gz
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/KextIdentifiers.plist.gz
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/IOKitPersonalities_i386.ioplist.gz
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.bootstamps/0E6271FF-3F33-3661-9B4A-38AFF32D4 860/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Applications/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/net/
file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/home/
Though I did not run any file repairs on the back up drive, it has also lost all of its files (it shows just one remaining
file:///Volumes/Eric's Backup/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi - whatever that is).
FileSalvage is now beavering away, attempting to scavenge some 350Gb of applications, e-mails, photos, iTunes, and movies (most of which it is unable to name). But these will all be unlabelled and randomly organised by extension type. These could take months to sift through and the list is almost certain to be incomplete. I have no other backups of my system apart from a two year old clone.
Please tell me. Is there anything I can do to get back my lost directory structure?
                       Might there be some use of an Undelete routine that might recover the directory alone and thus allow me to salvage either disk?
                        I don't even know what sort of extension to hunt for in order to attempt such a restore
                       - nor how I might drop it back into its correct spot on the volume.
All suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks, guys.
Yes, FileSalvage seems able to retrieve a vast jumble of unnamed "junk files," a tiny percentage of which are probably highly valuable to me. The problem will be finding them amongst the jumble. It could take weeks. ITunes files and MP3s are more promising, as it seems to have been able to reconstruct the files' names - and even cover art - from their metadata.
No. TechTool Pro wrote nothing at all. Sadly, though, I had allowed Disk Utility to reduce the number of threads or leaves or something in the volume directory, before I realised the gravity of the situation. It has thus made a very small alteration to my main drive (resulting, no doubt in the creation of those 9 system files and their containing folders). But the back-up drive had nothing further written to it since the apparent deletion of the volume.
I downloaded a freeware program called TestDisk which claims to analyse drive partitions. The partitions on each of my two physical drives (the internal and the backup clone) were not apparently affected - just the total loss of the volume directory structure on the boot partition in each case. So, would this be the wrong tool for the job? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It does claim to be able to "Rebuild NTFS boot sector." I don't really know what that means. Can anyone tell me whether a rebuilt boot sector will enable me to recover a deleted volume directory structure?
Meanwhile, I am also running a trial version of Stellar Phoenix, which claims to reinstate "lost/deleted volumes." It claims to have "found 6 lost/deleted volumes" already - after five hours, during which it has scanned about 5% of my 1.5 T external drive. So I suppose it may well take days to finish scanning. Then, I expect it may ask me to buy a serial code in order to proceed.
Does anyone have experience with Phoenix, or understand the jargon about lost/deleted volumes? Once I've bought the full version, is there a good chance it will actually reconstruct the whole volume as it once was - or is it more likely just to scavenge scores of thousands of nameless file snippets as per FileSalvage?
I don't have a problem with paying the boffins at Stellar if they are actually able to save me months of sifting through random unnamed files in order to locate the ones I've lost.

I appear to have deleted a year's worth of emails from Entourage. Where do I find them?

I appear to have deleted a year's worth of emails from Entourage. Where do I find them?

Without further information, it's literally impossible to answer your question. However, here are a few general approaches.
First, do you have ANY backups? Anything at all? Time Machine, a manual backup of some kind. If so, check there.
Second, have you checked the Trash in Entourage? If not, I'd take a look there. What kind of email account is this? If it's POP, is there any chance the mail is still on your mail server?

Trying to recover T-Bird emails from old HD. Not finding them. Any suggestions?

Upgraded to Win 7. Upgraded HD. Set old HD aside. Now need to find old emails on old HD. I have old HD in an encasement, connected to my computer by usb cable. I am able to access HD info but cannot find file that contains old emails. I left most all of them in the inbox. I am not sure what folder I am looking for on old HD that will contain old-inbox. So far unable to find them. Any suggestions?

Rosetta Stone does make a Mac OS X compatible version of their software. You may be elligible for a crossgrade or a Mac version of their CD. Or you might need to consider installing Windows on your Mac, if the disc only has a .exe file.

I "sent as gift" two songs to a friend. She can't find them. Are they sent to her in an email? Will they download during a sync? How can we recover the songs and get them to her iPhone?

Try going to iTunes Store from the left column, then Account, then Purchase History, then Manage Gifts.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

you haven't lost anything, it's virtually impossible to delete your Zotero library by accident.
You may just need to show your add-on bar (View --> Toolbars ---> Add on Bar).
To check if Zotero is disabled, go to Tools--> Add-ons --> Extensions.
Make sure to check for Zotero updates, you may need the newest version (2.1.10) for FF6 compatibility.
As a general piece of advice, if technical problems make you frantic, don't perform major software upgrades in the middle of a project. Also, support for Zotero is better on the Zotero forums than here.
