Help! I lost my mail!

I installed a Tiger version of Safari 4 for Tiger on my laptop and all my mail disappeared including Sent and other mailboxes I'd set up. What is going on here? And how do I restore my old stuff? Where does Mail put the mail anyway? I had logged on to MobileMe. Now all I have is the mail from MobleMe. Nothing else.

They were POP accounts. I retraced my steps. I had just installed Safari 4 for Tiger so at first I thought that had something to do with it. I then logged on to my MobileMe account. I think as soon as I logged on I got some loading bar that said something about loading mail. I didn't do anything. That is, I didn't click any options except go to view my iDisk, I never got a confirm box (Do you want your email accounts and all mail erased? cancel or okay) Suddenly I find that all my accounts and mail are gone and all that's in my inbox are a bunch fatuous messages from .Mac.
Yes I found my mail box under library and there 's nothing there now.

  • Help! Lost all mails and appointments from January 2012 to November 11

    I am really disappointed first of all for not having found a direct contact to a BB Help Desk. I mena a direct mail address and not simply a Forum. Recently I discovered that I lost all my mails from my different accounts (gmail, yahoo, the professional one). At first I tried to restore them through BlackBerry Protect since the last Back Up was doneon November 11, 2013. But I did not succeed. Then I sent you an email thrpugh the web. But I got no answer. A really bad way of behaving with clients. Now what happened affected a lot my work. I lost everything: the calendar , the mails that I cannot restore. Do you have an idea how to restore the contents? Do you know why it could hpen? Nobody had ever informed me of this risk. I am using a BlackBerry since about 6 years and it is the first time I hear somenthing similar happening in Italy. Thanks for your suggestions..

    Unfortunately, with that sparse information, it's rather impossible to help you figure out why this did not work.

    "You"? Who? You already recognized that this is a user-to-user forum, so who exactly did you send a request to? "the web" is rather impossible to know what you actually did.

    Restore, as with all computing devices, depends on a source of restore. From what you've said, it's impossible to tell you why your attempt to restore from BB Protect failed...you provided no details. Further, depending solely on BB Protect is unwise IMHO...refer to the Backup link in my auto-sig for "best practice" backup information.
    SusannaIsabella wrote:

    Given the limited detail you've provided, nope...no clue why it happened.

    Every computing device carries risk, some more than others. Any reasonable person using any computing device would very quickly seek out proper recommendations to properly protect the invaluable data that is stored on the commodity device.

    Spend a little time reading posts here and you'll find plenty of examples exactly like yours...it is not at all a unique situation. The key is not preventing it from happening, but rather protecting your data so that you do not lose anything when/if it happens.
    Good luck!

  • I've lost my mail, can't connect to the cloud, and can't backup.  Help!

    An error occurred while trying to save the icloud account is the message I get.  I've lost my mail, can't connect to the cloud, and can't backup.  Help!

    This happened yesterday afternoon.  My iPhone 5 and iMac are both working properly.  When I go to settings, icloud, it takes much longer than usual to open and then I get the error message.  I've tried rebooting but that didn't help.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Lost E-Mail Messages

    I just lost 13,000 Sent mail and 3,000 Inbox messages. I just started a .Mac account and Sync-ed my Mail, but that wasn't supposed to affect the e-mail messages themselves, just Bookmarks, Accounts, and Rules, etc.
    Anyone know what might have happened and how I can get that mail back? Thanks.
    Bob

    You’re welcome.
    in ~/Library/Mail, found only one folder--labeled with the @ sign.
    I double-clicked on it and received an error message--"The Internet
    location file (number here) cannot be opened because it is damaged."
    I have no idea what are you talking about here.
    When I sync-ed the accounts for the first time, my main Earthlink
    mail account was duplicated. I deleted one copy
    Ouch! This is where you lost your mail then. For each account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the username and the incoming mail server. Having two accounts sharing the same account folder in Mail is calling for trouble. Amongst other problems, deleting one of the accounts would cause the (shared) account folder to be deleted as well, and all your mail stored there to be lost. It’s not that you had two copies of the same messages and deleted one of them. It’s that you were seeing the same messages twice, and lost them all when you deleted one of the accounts.
    I'm not sure the FileSalvage tool will help, since not using the
    computer is not an option.
    The more you use the computer, the more likely it is that the deleted files may be overwritten, but since Mail 2.x stores each message in a separate *.emlx file, there is always the possibility that you can salvage some of those messages. If you don’t have a backup, that’s your only option, so you may want to try it anyway.

  • In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

    In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

    Go to System prefs
    Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
    Then select Other
    Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
    Then go to google for the settings you need:
    First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
    Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
    These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

  • 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,
    Arudi

  • I have lost my mail and the bullet on bottom of page.  How do I restore?

    I have a Macbook Pro and I have done something that has lost my mail.  I have tried going to the mail account but I cannot figure out what I have done.  Also I have lost the rocket that usually appears at the bottom of my window. I think it may be something I have done but not sure what it was.

    What  Mac OS X version are you using?
    Does the Mail window open? If so, please post a screenshot of the mail window as you see it now. Use command-shift-4 and drag across to take the screenshot, and the camera Icon on the forums to include it in a post.

  • Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

    Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

       Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.

  • Help! My outgoing mail has the image of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I did not put it there; it is fun but not exactly professional!  How do I get rid of it?

    Please help!  My outgoing mail messages arrive with an icon of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I have no idea how it got there.  This is cute but not really professional. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?  Thanks!

    It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
    When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
    If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

  • Help! Lost Installation CD for PD1030.

    Help! Lost Installation CD for Creative WebcamPro PD1030. Can someone help me to get a replacement CD ? Thanks

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter: Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management. Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”. Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused. Usually, “M”, “N”, “O”, or something similar.
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Also try this (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.

    What kind of accounts do you need to reset? IMAP or POP accounts using one of the many web-based messaging systems? An Exchange server account? Were they working and now just not working any longer?
