How do I recover a deleted mail account and all associated contacts?

Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

Hi everybody on this line...
I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks in advance

You're welcome.
Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
together with two folders that I have made (Prut
mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

24.5.0 - deleted mail account and have issues with a spurious New Folder

Hi
I have been messing around with my Thunderbird data, so this problem is of my own making I think.
I deleted an email account using my provider setup area. This was an email account I had set up at the start when joining this provider and contained only test messages etc. and so was of no further use.
I had set up this email address in Thunderbird and after deleting the account with my provider I then removed the account in Thunderbird. All seemed to be OK.
Now, to confuse matters. I had previously set up a list of folders under Local Folders for filtered email in Thunderbird - I now moved them up into my main account by click/drag/drop onto the account name. Although this took a very long time (and unexpectedly used an enormous amount of bandwidth), the operation finally seemed to finish (although that was really hard to determine until I finally found the Activity Monitor).
Now, for the point of this posting:
After all of the above, I discovered that a spurious folder had been created under the INBOX of my main account, called 'New%20Folder=0' which I read as New Folder-0. I don't know at what point in the above that this folder appeared, but I *think* I must have dragged/dropped one of my folder moves on the INBOX instead of the account name field.
Now, dear readers, if you have got thus far, the crux of my problem. I can not delete this folder, when I try, I get the message
The current operation on 'New%20folder-0' did not succeed. The mail server for account ******* responded folder does not exist.
I have tried a whole bunch of things, altering settings in its Properties etc but nothing lets me delete it.
Question is: how can I delete it?

I would:
a) check on the email provider's website to check if it had copied there, and deal with it. Your mention of bandwidth implies this is an IMAP-connected account.
b) close Thunderbird, open its [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb?esab=a&s=profiles&r=1&as=s profile] and delete the offending folder there. You need to browse your profile for a while to understand its structure before doing anything rash.
On the whole, I discourage users from dragging folders about as you have done. By all means drag the ''contents'' (better yet, use multi-select, then right-click and "copy to" or "move to") but moving ''folders'' is IMHO an undefined operation with unpredictable outcomes. I've heard of users moving a folder from one account to another and finding that it still associates with (i.e. "belongs to") the original account.

HT1688 Deleted my mobile account and all my contacts are gone. What do I do?

Can I recover lost e-mail accounts and history

After a power failure, e-mail was opened like it was the first time. All account set up lost and e-mail history.
I can't recover through time machine.
Any ideas?

If this is Apple Mail, can you nagivate to the Mail folder in your Home Folder Library. Look inside the folder. What do you see there?

How can I keep My 2 email accounts and all other using HTML? It only lasts temporarily, i.e. for the day...

(1) - when I open Firefox I recently have clicked on the hyperlink for HTML at the bottom of page, it works great for my gmail and yahoo accounts. However, it is not a permanent fix, as it apparently lasts just for the daily session. How can I keep my internet, et al. HTML permanently?
(2) - Firefox v24.0 is said to be fast and faster! However, I am not finding it so. when I click on a link or open a tab, it is frustrating as the tab labors too long to open...I more than not click on reload, which appears to help somewhat. Any suggestions?
(3) - I've just printed out the Mozilla Support Q&A on the error message from Firefox stating that it cannot load the website...how to I remedy this, as it occurs constantly with my Yahoo mail login?
(4) Finally, several weeks ago I inadvertently popped the "HEALTH" Bookmark (I have a Bookmarks Toolbar), which is excellent (had it with WinXP also, now with Win7), but I seem to pop, double click, or something or other, that makes a bookmark folder jump into the wild blue yonder! I've posted for answers here and elsewhere, printed out and read all variable instructions to navigate and locate, all to no avail. More sage advice please?
with appreciation and, thanks in advance.

For #1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?
It may be that the site stores your preference in a cookie, and you might have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you exit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:
* Set Firefox to "Keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your mail sites)
* Set Firefox to "Clear history when Firefox closes" on the Privacy Options
* Use a private browsing window to visit your mail site
It's also possible that add-ons or external software may clean out cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses the store cookies.
For #2, did this problem just start recently? Do you notice any relationship with the type of site content (e.g., pages that use Flash or other media)?

I would like to delete an account and all the iPhone apps associated with that account off my mac.

A friend of mine bought an iPhone 4 back in Febuary 2011 (pre-iCloud). At the time of her purchase, she was without a computer, so I allowed her to back her iPhone up to my MBP.
Since iCloud, she has no need to use my MBP for backups, restores, etc. Plus she lives 40 miles away. Her apps are still on my MBP and I have been updating them when needed, however I no longer need to have her account OR apps on my MBP.
How can I be rid of all her info and apps from my iTunes. I do have access to her account, with permission.

If by account you mean a user account then open Users & Groups preferences, select her account, click on the Delete [-] button. Choose the last option to fully remove the account. Do not check the box for Secure Erase.

How to disable message images in Mail app for all but contacts?

I use the Mail app for OS X Mavericks and have been inundated with spam lately. I understand that spam email campaigns can confirm that you have opened their mail (and subsequently continue to send you mail) by image tracking so I would like to disable images from showing for all except my contacts. I don't recall if it was with Mail or another email client I previously used, but I vaguely remember message images not showing by default and requiring you to click a button at the top of the message in order to show the images within it. If possible, I would like to be able to do this for non-contacts.
So my question is: how can I disable images from showing, by default, in messages from non-contacts within the Mail app?
If there is no way to do this, can someone suggest an alternative email client for Mac OS that does allow this? I am willing to change if this feature does not exist within the Mail app.
Thanks for your time.

Personally, I've never heard of spammers tracking by a contact's image. I think you might be confusing this with the images in the message.
Spammers can do two things to track you.
1) Send an email with a read receipt. Mail doesn't support read receipts
2) Send an email with an embedded image (sometimes called a bug or beacon). When the email is opened, the email software loads the image from the remote server by sending it an HTTP request.
If a message matches the junk mail criteria, then a bar will appear near the top of the message. External images in the message will automatically be disabled, so that spam authors won’t be able to track if you’ve opened the message. To load the images, click the “Load Images” button in the bar, or to mark the message as not junk, select “Not Junk.”
Mail > Preferences > Viewing >Uncheck Display remote images in HTML messages.
Enable Junk filtering in Mail Preferences. Check "sender in in contacts, sender in in previous recipients**, message is addressed using full name.
Use SpamSieve, third party product to filter spam, http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
Keep contacts in your Address Book.
Mark messages as junk to help train the junk filter.
Don't open a message you think is spam. You should be able to see enough of a message in the preview to know if it's spam.
** Open Previous Recipients under Window in the Menu bar. Remove any addresses from spammers.

How do I fix an Apple mail account that is "confused"

Last week I moved a mail account from one host provider to godaddy.
I updated the incoming and outgoing mail servers in Apple Mail and did a "Get Mail".
Two new messages came in so it appeared everything was fine, however I realized Mail
was not retrieving any other new messages. Mail does not report any errors, just does
not retrieve messages.
When I "Get Info" on the account I can see 75 unread messages under "All messages on POP server".
For some reason Mail will not retrieve them.
I can log into the account via webmail and confirmed that the password is correct, and that the account
is working properly.
I have deleted the account in Apple Mail several times and recreated as POP and IMAP with the same
result.
Apple Mail seems to have "memorized" the account even after I delete it, it acts as if some preference
has incorrect information about which messages have been downloaded?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Keith

Thank you for the suggestions BDAqua!
The new Smart Mailbox was unable to retrieve any new messages.
Something strange about Connection Doctor, at the top of the window it reports "Internet Connection Status: "Mail was unable to connect to the internet, click the "Assist me..." button for help diagnosing the problem." (this report is false because the other two accounts work). When I click Assist me as instructed Network Diagnostics reports "This computer's Internet connection appears to be operating normally. Are you sure you want to use Diagnostics?"
All other status lights are Green within Connection Doctor, it reports "Connection and login to server succeeded" with all three mail accounts and all three smtp servers.
In safe mode, Disk Utilities repaired some permissions, no disk repair was required.
After moving the Cache files, Envelope Index and rebooting, Mail went through the Message Import process but there was no change.
I remvoved MessageRules.plist and backup, still no change.
I'm not getting a password rejection, no rejection or error at all.
In Keychain access I deleted every entry having to do with mail accounts and servers. I reentered passwords in Mail accounts and still no change.
I'm using no SSL and ports check out.
After all the above I'm still in the same situation, have not found a way to create a new account that is capable of retrieving from my main email box. Very frustrating, I can't seem to figure out a way to bypass the "hidden" library file that's corrupt.
It's curious that the setting in Accounts>Advanced>"Account Directory" there is a "choose" button but you can't click it. I was hoping I could chose a new location to fix the problem.
Thanks for all your suggestions,
Keith

Ooops, deleted mail account also deleted all mails - can I recover them?

Hi there,
I deleted a mail account and now all the emails from the Inbox have been deleted as well (bummer). Does anyone have any idea if they can be recovered and how?
Help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks
Andreas

There should be separate directories inside ~/Library/Mail for each account. Something like this, for example:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Mac-username
There should also be a ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes directory that houses any "On My Mac" mailboxes.

Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one. How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
Your choices are:
--Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
--Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
Good luck.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
