HELP! Emails in Mail are suddenly gone. How do I change this?

Hello -- Using Leopard 10.5.5 and Mail 3.5. Can I change it so that Mail does not automatically delete emails? In the Mail app on my iBook, the emails never go away (unless I delete them..) Yet on my G5 and my MacPro the emails get deleted after awhile. Thanks for any input.

What type of account is this -- is this your AOL IMAP account?
In Mail, there is no option to ever delete messages in the Inbox, so what you report does not fit any setting you would be able to change. However, AOL, by policy, removes messages from your Inbox folder after 27 days. To avoid this, the messages must be moved the Saved folder. This would not be different from earlier versions of Mail on other Macs, but perhaps the passage time has made a difference?
More Info, please.
Ernie

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • HT5824 my iCloud account has the wrong mail address - where and how do I change this?

    my iCloud account has the wrong mail address - where and how do I change this?

    What do you mean with the wrong email address?
    - If it is not your account on your Mac, then just sign out and then sign in using your account in "System Preferences > iCloud".
    If you want to change your current email address which is associated with your iCloud account, please make sure that you turn of "Find My iPhone", "Find My Mac" on all your devices before you change your email address, then go to https://appleid.apple.com sign in and then change your Apple ID/iCloud ID. Please note that email addresses which end with @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com cannot be changed.

  • All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

    All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
    Thanking you in anticipation!

    I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
    To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
    Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
    I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module.  Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
    These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

  • HT4436 When I first purchased an iPhone, I used an email I no longer have access too when creating my account.  I've changed this email for my regular iTunes account, but the cloud defaults to the old email address as the account.  How do I change this?

    How do I change an iCloud account using an old email address I no long have access too?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change ownership of these apps, if they were purchased on your neighbours account, they belong to your neighbour, you should delete them from your device, delete his account from your device and add your own account.

  • Help!  My Contacts Are Suddenly Gone and my computer will only synch photos

    I was talking on the phone and when I was done, all of my contacts are gone. When I look at my recent calls, it just shows the numbers of the people who called and not the person's name. Does anyone know what happened? I am moving in two days, driving across the country and I need these contacts.
    What happened?
    How do I retrieve the contacts, if possible?
    Thanks

    No I'm just an idiot. I forgot that you had to open itunes (it doesn't do it automatically). I opened itunes and synched my windows contacts and got them back. But I lost a lot of my contacts because obviously I don't synch very often. Thanks for your help folks.
    I still don't understand why suddenly all of my contacts were deleted during a phone call. This is really frustrating and terrible timing.

    I just upgraded to 10.9.  My exchange email won't load emails that are older than a few weeks old.  How do I change this setting so I can see all my mail?

    Plett81,
    I'm having the exact same problem. It does not seem to be a settings issue but rather some sort of "problem" with mac mail. My Exchange provider was able to setup my mailbox on a test machine running Mavericks and everything pulled in fine, however I cannot duplicate on my upgraded system.
    I was able to get rebuild my mailbox and get the older messages within my Exchange inbox, however none of my folders and old messages outside of the Inbox are downloading/synching.
    **NOTE** I contacted Apple SUpport and they told me to call my email provider. I called my email provider which did as described above and they don't see a problem. SO as suspected it has something to do with the Mavericks update but I'm not sure Apple is willing to help. I might try contacting them one more time and see.

  • TS3988 Suddenly my email folder is all different.  This IMAP stuff has shown up as folders, and my old folders are subfolders.  How can I fix this?

    Suddenly my email folder is all different.  This IMAP stuff has shown up as folders, and my old folders are subfolders.  How can I fix this?
    Suddenly I don't have my own trash, but an IMAP trash folder.  I have this new IMAP icon on the left of my mail folder.  What's going on?

    Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

  • My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?

    1.My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?
    2.Currently my emails are grouped together if the subject is the same, how do I undo this?
    3.My emails are "folded up", with tabs like "See more" - how do I undo this? - I want to see the full email at once without having to click multiple times in the email on "show more" etc.
    4.When I send an email to some one, a copy of that email is sometimes sent to me?? - this confuses my and make me think I by accident sent it to myself, but when I check it in the SENT box, it the correct recipient's name was used. How to fix this mystery?
    Please help, I am not good with computers so you will have to keep your answer simplictic or in steps.
    Thanks!

    Hi foxie-d,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    iCloud: If email shows the wrong time
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2644
    When you send or receive email, the time it was sent or received appears in the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown in your email header is incorrect, you need to change the time zone setting for your iCloud account.
    Change the time zone on iCloud.com
    Click your account name, then choose Account Settings.
    Click Time Zone, then click a time zone on the map.
    You can also click the time zone name below the map, then choose a time zone from the pop-up menu.
    Click Done.
    You need to log out of iCloud, then log back in to see the changed time zone in iCloud Mail.
    Happy New Year!
    - Judy

    You need to create HTML signatures for use with the Apple Mail apps. You can't just throw in a logo, it has to be stored on the internet and it's location coded into your signature. You may find a service and an app that helps you do that in the iTunes App Store.
