HELP! email folders & e-mails gone overnight

I have an O2 e-mail account which I used to access through Safari and and a gmail account which I access through Mail.  I decided (using online instructions from my e-mail provider) to set up Mail so it would also contain my O2 e-mail.  It was all very simple and was working fine with all my O2 e-mail folders visible and working in Mail alongside my gmail account.  And I was sending and receiving e-mails fine too. 
Today when I opened Mail all my e-mail and folders from my O2 e-mail are gone!!!  I accessed the O2 account via Safari and they are all missing there too.  I have no Timemachine backup as it only happened overnight.  
Where are all my e-mails gone?????

Hello yellow ducky,
As you know, o2 are in the process of moving their broadband system to SKY and this is why you may not get a reply quite as quickly as usual.   I usually phone o2 and I have to say, have had excellent service from them ... only yesterday, one man spent half an hour resetting my router to enable a second device to be used.
Try the technical department on 0800 230 0202 (you have to go through one of those auto selection processes)  .
I think they have the facility to replace your lost e-mails from their server.   Just ask.

  • Sync local email folders, Apple Mail

    Hi,
    I'd like to synchronize local email folders between two Macs with Chronosync.
    Both Macs running OS X Yosemite and Mail 8.2.
    As far as I know until now, I have to sync the folder   Home/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/"folder name".mbox
    But there are a few other things that must be synced, but I am not sure which ones.
    1. Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail-shared.plist
    2. Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.plist
    3. Home/Library/Mail/V2/Maildata/Envelope Index
    Which ones of these three, or something else or different?
    Why has the name of the plist in the Preferences folder changed from "com.apple.mail" to "com.apple.mail-shared"?
    I don't need any information about the benefits of IMAP, I only want to synchronize my local email folders.
    Best regards
    Thorsten

    I would sync all of them.

  • Email Folders & iOS Mail App

    As I have quite a few cntacts on my email account I have folders set to recieve e emails from specific coontacts. I noticed that folders don't appear and junk mail doesn't get sorted for my hotmail. But I was wondering do other supported email providers show custom folders users may have on their account? I attached a screenshot (pixelated a few things) to show my folders (that you see under my Inbox. I am wondering If any email providers supported by mail can show custom folders like mine (scouts, sent 2 myself, online news and so on are custom folders I have). DO any email accounts from suppor providers show custom folders like mine in the screenshot in the iOS mail app?

    Is your Yahoo account a POP email account? If so there is no way to sync the folders to your iPhone. Only IMAP accounts sync folder. The best you could do is log in through Safari.

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

    Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually.  Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here.  Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Regards
    Justin

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

  • My email folders on iCloud mail are missing

    I have a new IPad Mini. All of my email folders are now missing after restoring from ICloud backup.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Force-close the Mail app (double-tap the home button, swipe up on the Mail app to close it, tap the home button again), then reset it (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  Check Mail.
    If the folder still aren't there, but they appear in Mail on iCoud.com, sign out of your account: Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in and check your Mail.

  • Help! Email sent from Mail just disappears!

    Hi, all. For the past couple of days, I've been having a bizarre problem with my Mail software. When I send an email, the recipient does not receive it, and it's not saved in my Sent folder. (I have my Accounts prefs set to save all Sent mail.)
    This problem started suddenly. I have not downloaded any new software recently.
    I'm using OS 10.6.3 and Mail 4.2.
    If I log on to my ISP's Web mail site, I can send and receive any test messages just fine. But if I try to send myself a test email from within Mail, I never get it, and it's not saved in my Sent folder.
    I'd love to be able to send email from within Mail again. Can someone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it? Alternatively, is there an online support service from Apple that I could contact?
    I'm a longtime Mac user and I love it, until things like this happen!
    Thanks very much,
    Heather

    I also need to mention that the "rebuilding icon" on the Sent folder, in the Folders list, is constantly spinning, as if it's constantly rebuilding the folder. It's as if it's trying to find something, to finish the rebuilding, but can't get to it. ??? I've watched the icon for a bit, and it NEVER stops.
    Again, thanks for any help.

  • I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

    I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
    I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
    Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
    Thank you so much,
    Arudi

    Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
    I also can save drafts now on both computers.
    Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
    Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
    Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
    Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
    IMAP for both accounts.
    Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
    The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
    'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
    On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
    On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
    Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
    The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
    The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
    On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
    Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
    Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
    Thank you so much,

  • I can't seem to set up a second email account with Mail. Help...and thanks!

    I'm having an impossible time setting up a second email account on Mail. Seemed as though it would be simple but after I've done all the basics, it sets up the account on MobileMe instead of iCloud and there it stops. Can't send or receive messages. I'm lost!  Advice?

    I do have an iCloud account and have since October. I am trying to set up a second email address. Perhaps I'm asking Mail to do more than it's equipped to do.
    I have set up an alias with the new email address through my existing iCloud account. However, when I test sending and receiving, the emails to and from the new address are in the same list as my regular Mail. Not sure this helps with my desire to separate the two! Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong.
    I do appreciate your help.

    How do you mass archive emails in iclould mail?  I have 330,000 emails and what to move old emails from my inbox to a managed folder. Can anyone help?

    Winston - thank you for your reps but that is common sense... Icloud only displays 50 emails at a time. So your recommendation doesn't work if you have 330,000 emails in your inbox. I am looking for a way to do a mass move.. Like a filter or rule that runs in the inbox. Current rules can only work as emails arrive.
    Any other thoughts?
