Emails were missing after message

Hello,
Recently when opening thunderbird the following message appeared: "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox". Soon after, my Inbox emails were missing. I tried to recover them in every way, without success. What do I do now?
Thanks.

What is your account type - POP or IMAP?
Do you have a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder?

DI custom SQLs were missing after importing a good ATL file

The customer had a strange issue recently - lots of custom SQL statements were missing when they imported a good ATL file into a brand new repository. This hasn't happened before. And they are sure that the DI repository versions are the same between the one it was exported and imported. I did some troubleshooting for them and found out:
1) The custom SQLs are intact when I opened the ATL file in a text editor. And the ATL file can be imported without any issue into other repositories.
2) Most custom SQLs are missing but not all. Some are imported OK.
3) When I opened the SQL tranform for those with missing SQLs, the textbox area for the SQL statement was blank. This caused errors in validating the job.
4) Sometimes the issue was resolved when the developer re-initialized the repository and imported the ATL again. But sometimes this strategy doesn't work - the SQL statements are still missing after the repository has been re-initialized a couple of times.
The DI version is 11.5.3 on HPUX with repository version 11.5.1.5. The repository database is either Oracle 9i or 10g.
Thanks,
Larry

The issue was resolved. The error occurred because of the database version mismatching. When the job was exported from the dev repository, datastores were excluded. The datastores in dev point to Oracle 9i sources. However, when datastores were recreated in test, some of them point to Oracle 10g sources (same database structure, just version upgrade). Therefore, when the job was exported from the test, although the datastores were still excluded, the version number "10g" were embeded in the SQL transform. This caused the SQL text to be excluded when importing ATL into the dev repository.
The action taken is to 1) delete datastores with version 10g; 2) create one with version 9i; 3) then exported the job into a new ATL. The new ATL can be imported into the dev repository without any issue.
Thanks,
Larry

EMails are missing after Snow Leapard to Mountian Lion migration

Finally received my I7 27" iMac. I took my Time Machine back up from my Snow Leopard Mac Pro and migrated everything over to the new iMac, Everything looks like it came over without a hitch but while I have all of my Mailboxes and folders and the one ON MY MAC, none of the existing mail folders has any actual emails in the folders, only the iCloud account and those go back several months. I checked the Library folder on the iMac and it seems that Mail accounts are listed under Mail>V2 but none of the mail is showing up.
Does anyone know how to correct this? Looks like I'll be using my Mac Pro for a bit longer.

I tried that all the emails appear in a separate IMPORT folder. I can then move the appropriate emails into the correct folder but that's a lot of emails.I have restored from TM back ups before and never had this issue. I wonder if it was due to moving from SL to ML.

Emails gone missing after upgrade to 10.5.6

Hi
I just upgraded from 10.3.9 straight to 10.5.6.
I had to delete some music files to make space, but it seemed fine apart from that, until I opened mail. My folders are still there, but all the emails within are gone!
I checked in the library, and there the files run:
Mail>AccountTypes>com.apple.builtin.mailaccounts>MailAccounts.plist
Nothing else in there!
I've lost alot, and there was no warning about that being an outcome of upgrading, or I'd have backed it up too.
Anyone out there can help?!
THX
Antonia

Your mails should be in the "Library" folder of your home folder. Some time ago I did such an upgrade and it worked well. No mails got lost as far a I can tell. Maybe your mail log file will tell us more?
But apparently this is not a Leopard Server related post. So you might get more help in the appropriate section of this site.

Mail missing after Rebuild

Hi All,
Having problem with the Mail.app
All my mails were missing after I ran the rebuild function.
I think the old mails were somehow hidden from the inbox as i noticed the the size of inbox.mbox is 1.22GB, whereas the latest INBOX is only 240mb.
How do I bring back all my old mails?
Mail.app v 1.3.11
OS 10.3.9
Many thanks.
Cheers

Hi mercuryfin.
I'm sorry you've been left out in the cold. For some reason your post has gone by unnoticed, maybe because there are many threads discussing problems similar to the one you're having. Read the following article (and the articles it links to) to better understand the problem and how to fix it:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121837
Unfortunately, one of the side effects of trying to fix your problem as suggested in the article is that a lot of previously "deleted" messages may reappear and you'll have to delete them again. If you wish, we can try a slight variation of the procedure described there to see whether that side effect could be avoided -- I haven't tried it before, but it won't cause any data loss, at worst it'll just not work and we'll have to do what the article suggests.
Let me know if you need any clarifications or want to try the alternative approach I'm suggesting. If the latter, start by quitting Mail and, in the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/. Locate the folder of the account that contains the largest Inbox -- its name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open the account folder, locate the file INBOX.mbox, right-click or ctrl-click on it and choose Show Package Contents. Now, choose Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C) and paste it in your reply to this post so that I can see which items are within that mailbox. Tell me also the size of the mbox file that appears there.

Email Client Missing Issue in Reader XI

Whenever I open a document in Reader (both X and XI) I get the email client missing error message window which I have to then close. I googled this error and have looked in the Adobe questions for this. What little I found was of no help. I don't use an email client (in use gmail) and I don't want any email being used for Reader. When I go to Edit/Preferences/email accounts I find that I can add an email address, etc.; but I can't delete the Outlook email item as when I select it the 'delete' box is greyed out ... so unavailable. My question is this: How do I stop the email client error message from appearing?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

In Preferences | Email Accounts, specify a Webmail / Gmail address and make it the default.

Sent emails missing after ios 5 upgrade

After upgrading to ios 5, all sent emails are missing from my iPad 1.

From what I recall, I updated all of my apps first. After attempting to sync the updated apps to my phone, I got a message stating something like "The app Numbers cannot be synced to this device". I made a few more attempts at syncing with the same result, I decided to just update the OS and maybe things will work again. After upgrading to iOS 5, I was able to reinstall numbers, but all of my spreadsheets were gone.
Ruining my phone sounds less than ideal. Any ideas?

Some iPhoto pictures missing after time machine recovery, were there errors reported during backup that I missed?

Hello. I used time machine/time capsule to automatically back up my sytem over the last 3 years and I used the backups to recover my system to a new hard drive when the original drive began to fail. After recovery, I noticed there are missing photos in iPhoto.
I'm curios where I should look to see why they weren't backed up, and why it wasn't obvious to me at the time that they weren't backed up.
Does time machine explicitly call out issues when it can't back up a file or does it just squirrel a message away in the system log?
I'd like to know because I'd like avoid this issue going forward.
Full disclosure & History -
The hard drive on my late 2009 27" iMac was exhibiting issues and started to go bad. No problem I thought, I'll get a new one and recover the system from my time capsule.
The full recovery was initiated from the OS install media. Upon recovery, the system wouldn't boot. After booting from the OS install media and reinstalling the OS on top of the recovered data the system booted and seemed to retain almost everything. This may not be the best way to recover but it seemed to work.
I additionally had to:
repatch the OS
reinstall iWork
relicense MS Office (otherwise office seemed to be intact)
When I started looking through my iPhoto libraries, there were some events with no pictures (mostly the newer events). I couldn't find the pictures on the time capsule either so I'm curios if there was anyway I could have known that backups weren't completing successfully. I had run a time machine incremental backup before pulling out the old hard drive and it seemed to complete successfully so I'm at a loss. I can understand that as the hard drive began to fail, there may have been issues backing up the data, but I somehow missed it if/when the problems were reported.
Should I go through the old system logs that were backed up on the time capsule and look for backupd messages/errors? Going forward, how do I know if there are backup issues?
It took me a couple weeks to realize the drive was failing. I had noticed that the system performance was getting bad, and the system would occassionally hang. It would come back OK after a restart. I thought it was because the filesystem was getting close to full (30GB left on a 1 TB drive) so I was chasing down cleaning up some data to make more room. There were suggestions in other forums to try and keep the filesystem 10% free.
While moving data from the internal drive to a new external drive (to free up space) the system would hang. I eventually found a couple disk0 errors in the kernel log and I actually witnessed disk0 disappear while running an iostat. I'm thinking it took me too long to know the disk was going bad, and so the pictures I imported over the last 3-4 weeks may be gone.
I still have the original drive so I'll see if anything else can be salvaged from it.
Looking for some suggestions on
1) the ability to know if time machine backups are successful and are in sync with my system
2) the ability to know when there are hardware issues that I should be aware of
If you got to this point, thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
Regards,
-mike

Hi Mike,
I just saw this post and saw no one has responded. You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out. I had the same problem. Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing. I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago.
I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict. Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above). However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto? Just a thought.
Good luck!

Contacts, messages, history were lost after using device switch from BB 9320 to BB Classic

Hi! I recently bought a BB Classic and used to use a BB 9320, I used the device switch app to back up all these infos. turns out, most of my contacts starting august 2013 up to now were lost. Please help how I can restore my contacts. Thanks in advance

About how many contacts are you missing?
Messages are not synced from the old device, but rather from your email server. You should be able to set your message sync time frame by opening your Hub > Settings > Accounts > select your email and edit. If not, delete that account and add it back again and you'll find the "sync timeframe" in the advanced settings.
Call logs. Only the last 30 days of call logs are kept.

Mail messages missing after upgrade to 10.4.3

Short story: I upgraded a Mac from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and now none of my old received mail messages are in my inbox.
Long story: Installed Tiger using "Archive and install". Repaired permissions. Installed the combo updater to 10.4.3 using software update. Repaired permissions again. After the system was upgraded to 10.4.3 I opened mail. It said it was importing messages. However, when it was done, there were only 6 messages from the last few days. The other 400 or so messages that had been in mail (in the inbox) in the previous version were not in the mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mailbox. This resulted in losing all of these 6 messages. I tried importing from the old account mailbox and mail re-created the mailbox structure, again with only 6 messages in the inbox.
I have tried re-importing my inbox which is listed as 18.2 mb in size but I get a dialog box that says there are no valid mail messages to be imported. I have tried importing messages from my backup disk, a backup created before the 10.4.3 upgrade but it gives me the same “no valid messages to be imported.” I have tried rebooting but there are still only 6 messages in the inbox to be seen.
Of note, the sent mail box is full of messages and appears to have been upgraded appropriately.
The application mail and all associated mailboxes etc are in their default locations. I have not moved or modified any of the locations of files.
Any ideas on what happened and more importantly how to restore or otherwise make visible all of my mail messages?
Thanks,
Pete

When I compare the above INBOX.mbox files to the 13 POP account folders in my pre-upgrade Retrospect Backup, the files sizes match, but the difference is there are no "Messages" folders in the backup - I assume these are folders/files Tiger built (and screwed up) during my first launch/import of the Upgraded Mail.
Thanks again for looking at this.

Outlook 2013 Issues (Emails go missing when stucked in Outbox after restarted Outlook)

Hi,
I have being using Outlook 2013 for email but i have face for two main issues as below which is quite annoy me sometime.
1. Email stucked at Outbox (even is just a normal email without attahcment). Those emails which were stucked at Outbox will goes missing if i just close the Outlook and re-open the Outlook again.
2. Outlook will hangs/ freeze (showing Not Responding) when half way I just viewing my email in Inbox or I click on Calendar.
I have tried to some of the suggestion across other forums such as:
- Disable the add-in (example: Social Outlook Connector/ Lync Meeting (which i dont have it to use) and etc.)
- Checked on the Program Features and clear all the office plugin
- Change the Aero Setting in Windows
- Disable Anti Virus (Just guessing)
- Reinstalled the Office 2013 (Outlook 2013)
- recreated the Outlook profile
However after tried, the first two issue still happened and the critical part is the email will goes missing after i reopen the Outlook.
More Info:
- When the email stuck at Outbox, the Outlook is show "Connected to Exchange"
- My company is using Exchange Server 2007 R2 (not sure got any related or not)
Anyone can get help on this?!!! Thanks a lot!!!
The reason I re-posted this issue as the previous as remarked as answered but somehow after that no more ppl reply.. i need more ppl's suggestion here!!
Thank you

Hi,
Generally for emails stuck in Outbox issue, we need to try basic steps as below:
1. Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
2. Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
3. Test in Outlook safe mode.
4. Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
As you have tried to disable Anti-virus, we also remind you to disable the firewall to test.
Please run MFCMAPI to check if there are emails or corrupted items that are stuck in Outbox, if yes, please delete them.

Here are some articles which use MFCMapi from where you can get some step by step guidance:

We can also perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Outlook:

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

TS1627 Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped by Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM

Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped Apple Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM BACK! They all had very important attachments. I have tried looking for them in deleted items, even though I didn't throw any of them away, still cant find them. Never had this problem before. I'm pretty sure its a setting somewhere. Also tried expanding all conversations, no luck. Searching for the mails under the sent email address, no luck.
I'm sure they are not deleted but have somehow been hidden by Mail. Very frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kash.

I have found found out what has happened. I had requested a statement dating back to April 2012 from a supplier. They replied back with the latest statementof 2013 only but used the same subject heading as the previous monthly statements. Apple Mail automatically grouped these and I thought that they were sent altogether. As soon as I replied to the last email all other the previous emails ungrouped from the conversation leaving me lost as to where they had gone. They were all still sitting in my inbox but no longer part of the trcked conversation. I searched under the subject heading and all individual mails were all still there. (feeling stupid - )

Emails were missing after message
