HELP! How do I restore mail left on server?

Since I archived part of my mail into a separate folder, I no longer see in my main Inbox the content of the mail and I get a message saying "Message has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." the account is active, but I no longer can retrieve the message content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kane,
This message is not what it seems, and is not actually related to the server. Please review, in full, each of the Topics at the following links, and then post back, in this Topic for questions, or comments:

There are many other topics where this is dealt with, but these are very representative.

HT201250 how do I restore mail

How do I restore mail - i seem to have over written it -I have time machine but no instruction about how to restore just one programm

Do you need to restore the application (program), or the data (mailboxes, emails), or the setup (preferences -- account names, mailbox rules, server names, etc.)?
Those are three different things, stored in different places.
If your Mail app is missing from your Dock, see if it's in your Applications folder. If so, just start it, then right-click its Dock icon and select Keep in Dock.
If something else is missing, please clarify.

How to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1

hi i am bhaskar ... how to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1 and how to restore system from a restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1.. is this option available or not ? what is the difference between shadow copies and
restore point ? instead of restore point we have this shadow copies option in windows server 2008 ?Bhaskar

AFIK, Restore Points doesn’t exist in Windows 2008.
Volume Shadow Copy option can be used to achieve:
Creating consistent backups of open files and applications
Creating shadow copies for shared folders
Creating transportable shadow copies using a hardware provider — for backup, testing and data mining scenarios
Quickly recovering and restoring files and data
It is more like a file, data, application backup.

How to download ALL MAIL from the server in a Mail app ?

How to download ALL MAIL from the server in a Mail app ? I want all the mail messages, sent, received ON my computer... Thanks much !!!!!!!

I can't find a preference to keep mail on the server as it's deleted on individual devices. We have 4 Mac devices and a PC running W8 with the iCloud control panel. How can we keepthe mail on the server as it is deleted from the individual devices?

How do I keep mail on the server as it is deleted on individaul devices? We have 4 Apple devices and a W8 laptop. We sort and read mail on all of them, but have found that deleting mail on one deletes it on all of them.

Yahoo and Gmail both support POP if you wish.
All modern email systems are Imap (because it supports multiple and mobile devices)
I do not recommend POP under any circumstances, it can not be synchronized so unless you do not use Mobile devices at all (iPhones etc) it is useless.
Yahoo users (search this site) have endless problems and Gmail is highly non-standard. Expect a learning curve for that one.
Are you short of server space, why do you need to do this rather retrograde step?

How can I restore MAIL program in OS X 10.3.9?

My MAIL Program is gone!! Only segment left is listed under Library/Mail/Mailboxes. How can I restore it? Do I reinstall ALL applications that came with my G-4, Mac OSX? Or can I reinstall my updated Panther (OS X 3?) Why isn't there a download for just MAIL for Mac OSX?
If I buy a year membership will that give me Mail?
Right now I use my ISP WebMail, and Eudora. But MAIL is so much better. Any help will be appreciated. THANK YOU.

I just downloaded Pacifist last night.....that program does exactly what you want it to do - extracts individual programs from your OS install discs so that you can reinstall/replace individual applications if need be. It worked like a charm.

How do I restore mail from Time Machine after a clean Yosemite install?

I've been having various performance issues with my iMac recently (wifi keeps dropping off, scan functionality on my multifunction printer stopped working, whole system periodically hangs) so decided to do a clean install of Yosemite. I also have a MacBook Air, also running Yosemite, and on which I have no issues with the wifi, printer or system performance.
Before doing the clean install, I made sure I had a current Time Machine backup. The process appears to have worked so far, but I have run into an issue restoring my mail. I think it best if I describe how I have restored my documents and then I can show at what point I run into a problem.
To restore documents, I opened Time Machine, used the keyboard shortcut command-shift-C to show the backups prior to the clean install, and then selected the documents I wanted to restore. This was simple and worked perfectly.
To restore my mail, I opened Mail, selected 'Enter Time Machine' from the shortcut menu at the top of the screen and then used the keyboard shortcut command-shift-C to show the backups prior to the clean install. This is where I got stuck as command-shift-C is a default shortcut in Mail that shows the colours dialog box. Hence I have been unable to view the correct backup. The backup I want is listed on the right hand side of the screen in Time Machine, but I can't work out how to select it.
I thought changing the shortcut in Mail might work, but I couldn't find a way to do that either since it is not listed in the Keyboard section of System Preferences.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Hey there,
It sounds like you're still having trouble exposing the proper library folder. You can use the following terminal command to do it globally (this will show all hidden files)
Open Terminal from your appliications folder and copy/paste this into it:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (press return)
**After that last line you'll need to restart the finder so use:
killall Finder (press return)
Now if you enter Time Machine the correct Library should be visible. To re-hide your hidden files repeat the process above but replace TRUE with FALSE, then use the "killall Finder" again.
I agree with the commenters above, you should restore the Mail library to the desktop and then re-import it to Mail. This is how I was instructed to solve this problem by Mac help, who I chatted with online for quite a while before they figured it out.
Hope this helps

How do I restore Mail messages to Inbox

While working with my ISP on a mail problem I deleted all of the messages from Inbox and Sent.
I maintain regular backups so I have the messages there. They are located at User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/POP-(me)@pop-server. . . .
How do I restore them to Mail's Inbox and Sent respectively?
Thanks!
-Joe

Kurt,
Your answer put me on the right track but it would not work quite like you said. What I needed to do was import the InBox and the sent folders from the backup copy. This creates an imported mail folder containing the messages from the backup. Then from the Inbox and the Sent folders in the import folder I moved the messages into the main Inbox and sent folders.
On Both of my computers there is no Mail folder in the Home/Library. It definitely is located in the User/Library folder.
Thanks for your help getting me there!

How to leave a mail copy in Server

Hi,
I would like to leave a copy of my mails in the server. I am using iMac and iPhone, configured to receive mail from the same account. Until recent times, i use to get mails in both. But, now my iPhone doesn't retrieve the mails. I went to online to check the mails in the server and I didn't find them there. I tried to do the settings in my Mail preference / accounts / specific mail account / advanced tab. But there is no option to leave a copy in the server. Such an option is available only for microsoft outlook account. Is there a way to enhance this option. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Thanks for your response. This email provider is etisalat. I am living in UAE. It is a POP account. there is no option available in Preference pan for mail accounts / mailbox behaviors.

How do I restore mail only...

Looking for some help...
I have recently purchased a new Mac and I am trying to determine how to install all my Mail details messages from time machine backup. I would like to keep all my historical e-mails and respective folders so it would seem I am on my "old" Mac.
I have tried using the "Migration Assistant" to restore my whole operating system/desktop on the new Mac but it could not find the DROBO FS (this is where my Time Machine backups reside) through the process, even though Finder locates it..? This might be a DROBO issue- but can't put a finger on a definitive reason yet.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Try Repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Then try Migration Assistant again.

Help! Trying to restore mail!!!

I deleted my mail server and did not realize that it would also delete my inbox, sent messages, trash, etc.
I want to restore my mail program to exactly how it was at a back up I did this morning at 5am.
I can not figure out how to do this or even where to find the "mail" folder that has all the preferences and old mailboxes.
Please help!!

Thanks! I talks there about restoing the old mailboxes and e-mail. So at least I know I can get the data back.
Is it no longer like the old days where I can just replace all the mail related docs and files from the "Library" folder and the re-start the program? I can't even find where any of those files live on the computer anymore.
So then, how would I go about restoring the settings and preferences? Or do I just have to start from scratch on those?
