How can I restore mailboxes in Mail app that suddenly disappeared?

Most of the mailboxes I use to organize and archive my emails suddenly disappeared. What is the best way to restore them?

If you are accessing emails from multiple devices, you are better off using the IMAP protocol. Then the devices sync with the server and they are all looking at the same information. With POP, you are going to get your emails spread about, some on Outlook, some on the iPad. It could get very confusing.
By default, the iPad will not delete from a POP server. Instructions for changing this are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228

  • How can I restore my e-mail

    Dear all,
    I totally reinstalled my Powerbook G4.
    Before I backup my mail by copying the content of
    Library -> Mail -> [email protected]@mail.domain.com -> INBOX.mbx -> Messages
    After the reinstallation, I opened Mail and I created my accounts.
    Then I copyed my backup into the same path of my Mac.
    But all pasted Messages (xx.emlx) are not displayed in the Inbox when I reopened Mail.
    How can I restore those e-mails?
    Many thank

    Hi Pierrot10,
    Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
    In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
    Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
    This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

  • How can I restore the previously bought apps after I have formatted my computer without backing up any of my files for iTunes?

    As titled.
    I bought many apps from iTunes at the end of last year, and then my computer had got problem that I had to format and reinstall everything.
    I just want to know how can I restore the previously bought apps once if I forgot to backup any of my files on the computer??
    Would be really grateful if someone can show me how to. Thanks!!
    FYI: At that time I was using iPad 1 and the OS was still 3.1.x. Now I am using iPhone 4 and would like to restore the apps at least those that are compatible to my phone.

  • How can I restore FLASH to a URL that I previously blocked?

    I have set Shockwave Flash to "Ask." I set a specific URL to ALWAYS ALLOW, then later changed my mind. How can I restore flash-deny functionality to that URL?

    Note that you can click the Lego block icon on the at the left end of the location/address bar to change the plugin settings for a website.
    If you click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar then you will see what permissions have been changed from the default.

  • How can I restore saved e-mail from time machine in 10.7.2?

    Hi James,
    sorry for my delay.
    You mean that you found the folders in your Library/Mail/etc...  ??
    Strange that you have the messages there and not in your Mail program. It is clear a matter of a database corrupted.  Inside Mail there is a command Rebuild. this should do the job but there is a risk of a demage to the present Mail.  Of course you can explore each single file in the librari folder but you see they are down in a comples structure and you may not find everithing.
    I am not so expert to give you a safe suggetion.
    Before tryoing a rebuilt I would do as follows to be more safe about the possible result.
    Create a new user Account in your Mac and copy your complete Mail folder into the Library of the new account.
    Then try the rebuild option in the new user account and see what happens. You today mail system will not be affected and you can decide what to do.
    To postpone a rebuilt can be an option but if you have a demaged database and you se you can live with the result of a rebuild in the "test" account I would rebuild also your.
    For some reason before doing any action I wouyld repair the permission and also check the HD to be sure you do not have any write-read problem.
    Let me know if it works.

  • How to deactivate restore function of Mail app

         Hello, i have following problems with the mail app in Mac OSX Mountain Lion:
         (also had this problem with Lion)
    Some mails of me are restored automatically 100 times under the Library > Mails folders.
    They often reach over 200 GB. Even after I delete these messages, they appear later again as
    restored message in these folders a serval times.
    The pictures that I have stored in the app, "notes" are no longer seen,
    but they appear in the subfolders of mail and also restored several times.
         How can I deactivate the restoration of mails ?

    oh, and since setting up Apple mail is so easy in mountain lion, with the new Mail, Contacts and Calendars preference, you might just want to delete your mail account prefs, for gmail at least, and start from scratch. i have had 3 gmail accounts for years and i went back into Apple Mail prefs on Mountain Lion and reset some settings according to the above link and now gmail plays nicer with Apple Mail indeed. I have no problems with yahoo mail. i don't think you'll lose your gmail if you totally delete you gmail prefs in Apple Mail and start from scratch.

  • TS1702 how can I restore all of my apps from a device restore?

    I recently had issues syncing a movie I purchased on itunes to my ipad. Itunes kept prompting me that the movie could not be synced due to an issue with the file. I found through a google search that I could reinstall my itunes app on my pc or restore my device. I first attempted to uninstall/reinstall itunes from my pc and that did not resolve the issue. Finally I restored my device although I created a backup beforehand.
    My issue now is that all of my apps that I originally installed on my ipad are not syncing even though I see them in the apps library in itunes. My two ipod touches continue to work without issues and have very similar apps installed but I just cannot get any of the apps to sync to ipad.
    I have found other people with the same issues and one person recommended to use the restore options when you right click the ipad under devices in itunes but of all the availalbe restores that option did not work...
    I'm hoping there is a simple fix to this versus having to manually re-download all of my apps from the itunes store...
    Thanks!

    Two things that I can think of.
    Make sure that you are still signed into your Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID. You should see your ID in there. If you don't - sign in with your ID?
    The second thing, make sure that your apps are still selected to sync in iTunes. Sometimes when you restore/reinstall - settings get corrupted.
    Connect the iPad to the Computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps in apps list that you want to sync
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • How can I repair a corrupted Mail app in Mountain Lion?

    Let me begin by stating I've been experiencing several issues in the Mail app off and on. Today, I was having trouble with my iCloud.com account not sending or receiving.
    I go to remove and re-add the account under iCloud settings under SyStem Prefs, and I'm told that the mail account cannot be setup through the Preferences pane. I'm told to set it up in the mail app itself, but this resulted in it adding the imap version, rather than using push mail.
    I decided to go and find every mail app related preferences file in the library subdirectories,, and deleted the mail folder. I did not locate any other .plist file anywhere else; although I could have missed them.
    Can someone please point out what else I can do to clear out Mail of all data and start fresh? Now when I launch Mail, it displays my prior account info, in spite of the prior deletions.

    When you open Mail, and go to the accounts, highlight the account giving you problems the click the minus sign at the bottom of the column to remove that account.  The click the plus sign and setup the account again the way it should be.
    See if that clears up the issue.
    Alternative is to reinstall ML, but you would be better off trying to straightern out the account itself first.
    To reinstall, restart holding the Command and R keys, then select reinstall, do not erase and install or you will lose all of your content.

  • How can i restore my e-mails (especially a saved message file) after i uninstall and reinstall

    I have picked up some kind of bug in my e-mail program. I have used malwarebyte and Norton and I think it is cleared up. the problem is that I now cannot send e-mails. Comcast tells me the problem is in thunderbird and I should uninstall and reinstall. I have a "saved message file" I do not want to lose. where is this file and how can I save it. thanks.

    Please tell comcast from me that they are idiots.
    The suggestion to uninstall and reinstall is about as likely to fix your issue as dropping the device in the bath.
    So lets look at this. I assume you get some sort of error message, what is it? Exactly please.
    Personally I would be putting money on Nortons being the issue as it has a very long standing habit of making mail sending and receiving difficult.
    Check in the Nortons firewall that Thunderbird has full access to the internet. Automatic is not enough. Then disable all email scanning ion Nortons, reboot your computer and try sending again. Any better? A new error message?

  • How do I delete emails in Mail App that are no longer on the server?

    HI,
    I have configured the Mail App on my brand new iPad to receive emails from my provider GMX.net. It is a POP3 account. The emails stay on the server until I fetch them with Outlook 2003 on my PC. After retrieving emails with Outlook they are deleted from the server. That is what I want. But the emails stay in the Mail App on my iPad. I also can’t delete emails with the iPad on the server.
    How can I do that?

    If you are accessing emails from multiple devices, you are better off using the IMAP protocol. Then the devices sync with the server and they are all looking at the same information. With POP, you are going to get your emails spread about, some on Outlook, some on the iPad. It could get very confusing.
