Gmail folders disappearing in Mac Mail under Mavericks

Hello,
We use gmail for our small charity as an email client and mac mail to sync it between all devices.
It has been working well under Mountain Lion.
I have just upgraded to Mavericks and under 'Inbox' a whole series of folders I previously used to catalogue and sort my email have now disappeared. I cannot find where they are or the email that was in them and nicely sorted.
All Mail is showing - have picked this up from other threads.
Why didn't my previously logged folders come over with the upgrade? Can they be found and enabled? If not, how to do go back to Mountain Lion?

  • Mac Mail under Mavericks

    I just upgraded to Mavericks (os 10.9.4). In this latest version of Mac mail, one can paste into the To:  Cc: and Bcc: fields but one cannot copy from them? Why did this change? Is this a bug or is there a reason for it?

  • Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?

    Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?
    Under Mailboxes in Mac Mail, I used to see Inbox (along with sub-Inboxes for each account, all of which are still there), VIPs (still there), Sent (still there), Drafts, Junk and Trash, all of which are missing, without me making ANY changes anywhere, either on Mac Mail or Gmail.
    Any ideas ... or other people experiencing same issue?  (Happened in my wife's account and I just assumed the kids deleted something, but then I went to my account where the kids never are and I found the same issue.)

    Do you mean that they are not listed under Gmail's header at the bottom of the Mailbox List or that they don't exist in the Unified Mailboxes at the top?
    If they are not in the unified mailboxes, check down under Gmail and vice versa. If they are at the bottom under Gmail, select each separately and go to the Use Mailbox for command in the Mailbox menu. Set each one to what they are supposed to be, ie Trash, Junk, Sent, Drafts.
    If they don't appear anywhere, log into Google's email website, go to Settings, click on the Labels tab and make sure those mailboxes are set to show in IMAP.
    Finally, if they are IMAP accounts, just delete the accounts from Mail then re-add them. If you have a lot of email, it will take a while to synchronize, but it should recover those foldrs. If you are using POP, I'm not exactly sure how to save the old email, but I would assume Google is already doing that for you.

  • Exchange Archive folder disappears from Mac Mail (Mavericks)

    My Exchange 2013 Archive mailbox folder keeps disappearing from Mac Mail (Mavericks). When it does, the mailbox/folder shows 0 messages and 0 size in the Account info box. To temporarily solve the problem, I disable the account, quit mail, and reenable the account. Then the Archive folder/mailbox reappears. This happens several times per day. By the way, the folder is still visible on Outlook Web Access and through the Outlook client. It is simply invisible to Mac Mail. Does anyone know how to solve that?

    Well, somehow, it disappeared after 10.8.2. and the following fixes which had no numbers.
    Mail startet and told me, that Mailbox is somehow adapted and now everything works fine.
    Strange....

  • Gmail emails disappearing from my Mail inbox

    Hi,
    I use the Mail program to manage my emails on my MacBook Pro (as well as my iPad and iPhone).  I recently set up a gmail account and have been having a strange problem.  Sometimes after I read a gmail, it disappears from my Mail Inbox folder.  I haven't been able to figure out a pattern as it doesn't seem to do it every time.  When our IT manager configured my computer for gmail, I ended up with a  Gmail folder and two subfolders called "All Mail and one called "Important" on my Mail desktop.  I told him I didn't want or need those folders but he couldn't get rid of them.  When the gmails disappear from my Mail Inbox, I can always find them in one or both of these Gmail folders.  But the problem is I get so many emails I don't always notice that one has disappeared until it is too late! This is causing some significant problems.  No one has been able to figure out how to stop these emails from moving on their own. Our IT manager is more familiar with PCs than Macs.  I hope you can help!!  It's very frustrating!

    No. The email never makes it to me. It is on my iPhone for an instant, but then it disappears. It never makes it to my Outlook on my computer, and it is not in the Junk Mail, Deleted Items, or in my Sonic Wall Spam Filter box. There are 4 other people in my office, and I know that at least 2 of them are having the same problem. I can't tell if this is a problem with my iPhone or my Exchange Server. Help!

  • I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same difficulty. "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

    I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

    "Weird" needs further explanation.
    Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

  • 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!

  • Why do gmail users recieve my mac mail signature in grey font?

    I emailed my gmail account from my mac mail account and the signature arrived in a different font ( grey ).
    Why is that? How do I keep it black?

    The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
    It sounds like you're trying to connect to a web server, not a mail server. Check with your ISP for the right server address and settings.

  • Groups does not work in Mail under Mavericks

    Its not just smart groups, by I cannot get any of my Groups to work with Mail under Mavericks.  I am weary of having to type out the address for each person separately.  Is there some better way?

    I don't know why typing he name of a regular group does not work for you, but…
    Another way is to open the address panel, select a group, then select all in the group, then click the two button.

  • Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

    Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders.  Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

    IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
    With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).

  • How do I get my ALL MAIL gmail folder back in Mac Mail after upgrading to Mavericks?

    Hi
    I've upgraded to Mavericks - very cool !........ but my Mac Mail gmail ALL MAIL folder seems to have vanished in my Mac Mail listings.
    Any advice how to get it back?
    N)

    It seems its all in the new ARCHIVE folder which shows up now.......but dont delete mails in the inbox as that really deletes them and they go to TRASH.  So you have to manually MOVE TO ARCHIVE to ensure it finds itself in ALL MAIL on the gmail server.  Hope that helps?

  • How to remove duplicate POP messages in Mail under Mavericks

    Hello
    I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
    My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep ALL my mail (even the trash) so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails in around 250 subfolders. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
    A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. I left it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it...
    The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then planned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
    The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. I also rebuilt all the folders again, which doesn't seem to have resulted in any further loss of messages as far as I can tell. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
    1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
    2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
    So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size, because of the 'hidden' messages), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some corrupted email somewhere, which probably caused the original email haemorrhage, and may still be causing the inability to remove duplicates. Mail is so slow as to be almost unuseable.
    I figure I have a number of options:
    1. I could live with the situation and just archive most of the Mail in my inbox, with the side effect that there will be a bunch of messages I have never replied to that are missed.
    2. I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of Mail I was using a week ago, and then redownload the recent emails from my various accounts. That would still leave me without those thousands of emails I lost on my local machine.
    3. I could find another way to deal with this. Can I get the remove duplicates script working? Should I revert to the version of Mail from a week ago, download ALL the messages again, but do it in a way that allows me to find the duplicates and remove them? Should I move to another email program altogether (which would presumably be massively disruptive to my work!)
    Anyway, apologies for the essay length of this request, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!

    hi Eric
    thanks for the tip, but I don't think that solves my problem, which is that Mail apparently hides the duplicates, so they're still there, you just can't differentiate or remove them. I actually *need* the duplicates there so I know I've got everything, but then I need to be able to move the ones I know I've dealt with from my inbox to an archive/trash, and/or remove them completely so Mail isn't totally bloated

  • Gmail Not Working with Mac Mail

    Just this afternoon my 2 gmail accounts stopoped pushing mail to my Mac Mail (7.0). I can send mail from my Mac, my iPhone sends/receives on both accounts, as does my gmail when used with any browser. There has been no change in any settings that would cause any issues, so out of the blue I just don't receive emails on my Mac. I read some threads about appliction specific passwords but that seems unlikely as a cause since it just stopped working today, and as far as I can tell there was no change in my computer or google that would necessitate such a change on my end.

    Just to upodate, out of the blue one of the accounts started receiving mail - the other still does not. I'm not sure if this is a google issue or more likely a Maverick issue, as some other odd behavior has occured with mail since upgrading the OS a week ago.

  • Gmail set up in Mac Mail gives me 3 of all mails?

    I was having problems with duplicate mails in Mac Mail and on my iPhone etc as is widely reported as a bug elsewhere, so I followed advice and switched to GoogleMail and IMAP.
    I've set up my iPhone and Mac Mail to use the IMAP GoogleMail account instead - and for the main inbox view at the top of my mailboxes view in Mail I have exactly what I want (and no duplicates).
    But I also have (further down the hierarchy view on the left side of mail) another set of folders with the name I've given my GMail account (Personal Mail) and within that group of folders I have a mailbox I cannot delete called [Google Mail] this has an All Mail folder and there is also another folder with the name of my mail account. Both of these appear to independently maintain copies of my inbox mail.
    It semes that in addition to the IMAP account that I've set up myself, somehow Mac Mail is also maintaining a view of GoogleMail in parallel.
    Can anyone shed light on this? I want one copy of mail but now have 2 or possibly 3!

    it certainly is possible to do that.
    the exact details depend on how your POP is set up. do you keep the messages on server after you download them? If yes, you don't have to do anything special. just create an IMAP account and you are set.
    If you don't keep messages on server after POP downloads then I would do the following.
    1. change the behavior of your POP to NOT delete messages from server upon downloads.
    2. set up IMAP and let it sync.
    It will be lacking old messages from your POP mailbox as they are not on the server. to change that you can copy all the messages from your POP inbox to your IMAP inbox. Just select them all in the POP inbox, right-click and use "copy to" menu.
    WARNING: if you do this, IMAP will sync up and put all those messages back on the server from your computer's mailbox. This can take a VERY long time if your inbox is big. Therefore, it's up to you if you really want to do this.
    After everything is working correctly you can delete the POP account if you wish.
