How do I keep Mail messages from vanishing?

I don't use iCloud for much, but I have sent a few Mail messages from my iPad (iCloud address) and I have received a few at that address that I need to be able to view on my Mac and to have available for viewing on my iPad. The received messages consistently disappear after a few weeks. The most recent one that I forwarded to my iCloud address from my desktop machine appeared in the list of messages (already a very short list due to the vanishing act) for a nanosecond when I first opened Mail on my iPad, and then vanished. Only a single message is still there out of maybe a dozen messages that ought to be there.
The iPad is running the most recent iOS version. I use Snow Leopard most of the time on my Mac, but I boot into Mountain Lion when I have to: I sync the iPad in Mountain Lion. I access iCloud through my browser when I'm in Snow Leopard.
What do I have to set or change to make iCloud e-mail at least minimally useful? I've looked at the settings, and don't see anything obvious. My regular e-mail accounts are configured to never automatically be deleted from the server, but I don't see a way to do that with iCloud mail.

Ok, just discovered it only does this in split-keyboard mode.

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
Thanks

How do you stop mail messages from poping up in ipad

When I turn on my Ipad 3, i receive mail messages in the center of the screen of all new messages. you have to manually tap each screen in the middle of the screen to continue working. I changed the setting in general mail to manually fetch the mail, however the messages still pop up. This is not part of the notifications screen that you can pull down from the top of the screen. Any suggestions
Thanks

Re-visit Settings/Notifications/Mail. It is probably set to "Alerts" which require an action before they are removed. Set it to Banners which go away on their own or None to remove them completely.

How to manually retrieve mail messages from time machine in Lion?

I just did a clean reinstall on Lion and want to import things from time machine piecemeal. As far as I know, in order to access the mail documents on the computer's hard drive, in the Finder I need to go to Go-->Go to Folder... and then type ~/Library. Then I have access to the "Mail" folder with the data. How can I access this folder that's on my external harddrive? I don't have the "Go" function and I don't know how to get there manually. My hidden files are shown.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The best way to restore mails is to use Time Machine.
1. Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk, select the external disk and see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html
2. Open Mail and open Time Machine. Navigate and restore the mails you want

"Yahoo is the preferred search engine for Firefox. Switch now. Yes. Not now." How do I keep this message from ever appearing again?

I have already clicked "not now" but it reappears after a while. I don't have any yahoo toolbars or extensions.
I'm using Firefox 37.0.2, on Windows 7

Firefox never displays this message on its own. The message is either being displayed by an add-on, some software on your computer, or by Yahoo.com directly.

On your iPad or a Mac?
You posted in the iMac community but your profile indicates an iPad 2.

I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account. How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

Prevent mail message from loading on iPad?

How do I keep a message in mail on the iPad from not loading the message, I only want to see who it's from and the subject? I have gotten some spam mail lately and I feel like once it is downloaded even to delete it - it gets downloded anyway.
Also, why can't I mark something junk in mail on the iPad or put it in the junk folder?
Tx.

You can't just load the subject.
Mobile email client does not have a junk button to flag an email as such.

Hi, Plastic, and welcome to the Community,
But my question is this, This is a brand new account (2 days old) set up only on a skype phone. I have told no one my skype name, so how did the caller know my name to call?
Question: When you set up your new Skype account, did the Skype app on your phone provide the option to secure your account via setting the privacy settings to permit incoming audio calls, video calls, and instant messages from people on your contact list only? If not, please sign on via a laptop or computer to do this. Remember to Save your settings as you proceed through the screens/windows.
It's not like they can randomly guess a skype name.
Yes, they can.
How are our details stored?
Please refer to these FAQ articles for explanation: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA143/is-skype-secure and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA31/does-skype-use-encryption
Can wild characters be used in skype calls?
If you mean something like an "*" such as in a database search, then, no.
No one should be able to call my skype number unless I tell them my ID or chose to use something easily guessed, and then even if this was the case, within two days?
If you secure your account and profile (do not specify a gender; leave location and other settings which default to "Public" neutral or blank), then your Skype account should not be easily found.
Skype has significantly reduced the number of ways other Skype users can find their friends, colleagues, and so on, but still allows for general searches based on only four Add a Contact features: Skype name, full name, e-mail address, or telephone number input in the Profile. Your new Skype account fell into the scammer's random search parameters.
Also, why does Skype allow user names that include system.notice? This would seem to me words that should be reserved for system notices, or am I missing something here?
Yours is a valid point which I have read many times - however, these titles are only titles such as how you might change your name as it appears in your Profile settings; the scammers constantly change the underlying Skype account names they use. Please see this FAQ article for the details of a Skype name vs. a display name: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name
Securing your account should rid you of these nuisance messages as well as unsolicited contact invitations.
Best regards,
Elaine

8830..Moving e-mail messages from Inbox to other folder

On my 8830...When I move e-mail messages from my Inbox to a different folder (under Inbox), they disappear totally from my laptop e-mail rather than mirroring what I did on my BlackBerry. On the flip side, if I move messages from my Inbox to another folder on my laptop, it does mirror on my BlackBerry. My e-mail is Outlook 2003, running on my company's Microsoft Exchange Server. Please help.

Since you have folders under your Inbox, I can only assume you're on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) setup receiving your Corporate email. If that's not the case, I can't figure out how you got folders under your Inbox, and have NO IDEA how you're getting the results you're getting as BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) email accounts can't have folders!
You most likely don't have reconciliation enabled for the folders you're moving your email to.
Go into Messages, hit the [Menu] button and select Options --> Email Settings. Hit the [Menu] button and select Folder Redirection.
You should see your Mailbox at the top with a + to the left of it. Highlight that line, hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the main folders under your Mailbox. Your Inbox should appear with a Box next to it either checked or filled in.
Highlight Inbox, and again hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the folders under your Inbox. All the folders under your Inbox, and the boxes are probably unchecked or not "filled in". Scroll to the folders you want reconciled with your BlackBerry and hit [Space] to check or fill the box next to it. Use [Menu] --> Expand if there's a + to the left of the box to expand subfolders.
Once all the folders you want reconciled are checked or filled, hit [Esc] and save.
Now your email won't dissappear when you move it! You should also notice in the Messages list that email in folders other than your Inbox have a folder icon rather than an Envelope icon.
And before you ask... The BlackBerry does NOT SYNCHRONIZE, it Reconciles. Email is pushed to the device ONCE, and only changes to the status of messages are transmitted after that. Moves will only be reflected after you've turned Reconciliation on for a given folder. BTW - emails you moved that disappeared should have been in your Deleted Items folder.
Reconciliation rather than Synchronization saves enormously on data transmission ($) as well as Battery life. Believe me - we have both BlackBerries (Big Wigs only) and Windows Mobile (the rest of the 25,000 peons) devices at my company, and the most common complaint about the Windows devices is battery life, and HUGE costs when the device is overseas!

How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

Here's the issue. Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods. We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set. BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off! How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me?? In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked? What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else. And ask me to turn on wi fi. How and can this even be done? Right now my d text is turned off completely. And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself. On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again! HELP! Thanks :) Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.
