Getting back my mailboxes

Long story short:
I installed Snow Leopard and decided I didn't like it and re-installed OSX 10.5.8 after several hours on phone with Apple support. That being said I am ALMOST back to normal but the mailboxes I created and stored are not there anymore and I can't seem to recover them with TM or Carbonite. Does anyone in here know a way to recover all the messages I've saved for the last couple of years? Any help is greatly appreciated.
One more thing. Some of my messages are highlighted in color but I've not set up ANY rules yet and can't figure out where the color is coming from. Messages are not even closely related either.

if you have a TM backup you should have simply done a full system restore from TM to get your old leopard system back. it would restore your system to the exact state it was in at the backup time including all your mailboxes etc. you can still do it now. just boot from the leopard (or snow leopard) install DVD and select "restore system from backup" from the Utilities menu. that's what I would do.
you can also, restore just Mail data. quit mail and restore the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist AND the entire folder /users/username/library/mail. start mail, let it import and your Mail will be back to how it was at the backup time.

  • After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all the AOL messages get dumped into the inbox along with the gmail messages. How can I get the AOL mailbox back?

    After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all AOL messages have been lumped in the inbox along with my gmail messages. What do I have to do to get my AOL mailbox back?

    Linking AOL and gmail?  I don't know what that means.  But if it means what I think it does - that you have the AOL and gmail servers chatting directly with each other through some configuration, I'd definitely disable that.
    In general, the messages either aren't deleted, or aren't correctly deleted, or there's a protocol or network error, or some sort of a mail server error.
    First diagnostic is a mailbox repair.  Mail.app > Mailbox > Rebuild
    Then verify that the credentials are correct and the connection is reliable:
    Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor
    And yes, if you have gmail and AOL chatting directly with each other, undo that.

  • I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
    As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay.

    How Do I Get My Junk Mail Icon Back Under MAILBOXES ?
    It seems to have disappeared and I have know idea what I did.

    In each account, is Junk filtering enabled -- Mail Preferences/Junk Mail? Also, have you selected (account by account) to move any Junk message to the Junk Mailbox?

  • Lost all data. How to get back information from iCloud.

  • I just bought a new iMac and when transferring the contents of my previous mac the mail folders were all empty.  How do I get back my saved emails?

    I just bought a new iMac with OS X Mavericks, and when I transferred my data from my old iMac with Snow Leopard, all my mailboxes appeared, but they were empty.  How can I get back my saved emails?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Get back the data in R/3 If R/3 fails

    Hi All,
          If our R/3 system were to fail, and we had to bring it back from a backup that would be dated behind the current status of the CRM due to MW flowing, what would we need to do for R/3 to “get back” orders/customers that existed in CRM but not in the recovered R/3 database?
    Plz give me reply as early as possible
    Thanks,
    Saritha

    Dear Saritha,
    I'm not sure if this forum is the right place to get a qualified answer to your question. This discussion group deals with Discovery System specific topics -> there is no CRM installed on the Discovery System.
    My take on your question: You have to ensure during the time of the backup that you have a backup that covers R/3 and CRM "in sync".
    You might want to re-post the question in one of the "SAP Solutions" discussion groups.
    Best Regards,

  • How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

    Gorgeous Hello All,
    If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
    Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
    A hurdle :-
    I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
    I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
    -> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
    How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
    (I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
    Help Please

  • How to get back fields from INSERT statement in batch mode(getGeneratedKeys

    Hi,
    I wanted to insert records to database and get back some fields.
    I create prepared statement:
    preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(sqlQuery, columnIndexes);
    then I set parameters.
    Following code works properly:
    preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
    generatedKeys = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys();
    if (generatedKeys.next()) {
    doSomething();
    But when I try to do this by batch I get exception:
    Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 22
         at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CNumberAccessor.unmarshalOneRow(T4CNumberAccessor.java:190)

    My "batch" code:
    for(...){
    setParameters(preparedStatement);
    preparedStatement.addBatch();
    preparedStatement.executeBatch();
    Isn't it a bug?
    Can I get back fields (eg. from last insert added to batch)?
    I hope somebody can help me.
    Agata

    This code works for me but only inserting one row. More than one causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException once sendBatch is called.

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...
