How do I recover emails from library/mail/POP (mailbox)

I need to recover emails that I've located in Library/mail/POP (mailbox). I don't have Time Machine. How do I move them from this location to my Inbox in Mac Mail? I've tried creating a new mailbox and then tried dragging them into it (didn't work), tried copying and patsing (didn't work). What should I do?

How can I recover email from library file?

I tried to convert from incoming POP to IMAP (per instructions from Verizon). I then saw thousands of emails in my inbox disappear. They reside in my library folder with a different name: Library/mail/POP-(my email address/INBOX/messages/. I can't read the subject line since they are only identified as 21.emix, etc. I don't have Time Machine or a back up. I am running Snow Leopard (10.6) I am able to click on one lost email at a time and read it (guessing as to the subject line). I want to somehow transfer all of the old emails from that missing inbox (the ones with the .emix suffix) and put them back where I can read them in Mac Mail. How do I do that?

The following might work. Shut down Mail, then make a backup of the complete Mail folder in the library by dragging it to the Desktop, while holding down the Option key. You should see a little + inside a circle, which will indicate the contents are being copied. Drop it on the Desktop and let it finish.
Once you have a backup, go to the Mail folder again and drag the Envelope Index folder to the Desktop and drop it there. You will then get a message about reimporting or reindexing. Let it finish, start Mail up again and see if things are back to normal.
Not sure why this happens, but you may see some messages highlighted in brown.

How do I retrieve emails from windows mail after a crash?

I've just had to reload vista & all my old files are stored in a folder called 'windows.old' inlcuding a windows mail folder. I'm trying to retrieve all the emails that were in windows mail before everything crashed on me, does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks in advance

I agree with Akuma. It is definitely not Toshiba related issue and you should try to check some Microsoft forum and try to find final answer.

How do delete all email from a mail box?

On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?

This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
1. Go to your inbox
2. Press Edit
3. Tap any message once to select it
4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
6. Release the Move button
7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
‘Other’ POP account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Description: alias
Incoming mail server:
Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User name: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Server port: 995
Outgoing mail server:
SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
Server port: 25
‘Yahoo!’ account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Description: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server:
Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
Server port: 465
I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
Many thanks,
Patrick

A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
Any help appreciated.

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Can I create a xml that would would do this? Is there a way to do it using the EWS service reference. I do not want to use import/export to do this.

yes I was able to make it work using Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data and writing it as a web API, however i am unable to to authenticate the user if it is hosted on another server (without them retyping their password. I assume that
their is a matching java script version of what i am doing on the api side. I am just stuck trying to figure it out. the below code works as a Web Api if i could authenticate the user.
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.Url = new Uri("Ews url");
service.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//service.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
// Create a new folder view, and pass in the maximum number of folders to return.
FolderView view = new FolderView(5);
// Create an extended property definition for the PR_REPLICA_LIST property.
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PR_REPLICA_LIST = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6698, MapiPropertyType.Binary);
view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, FolderSchema.DisplayName, PR_REPLICA_LIST);
// get to the inbox folder of spam mailbox
Mailbox SpamMailbox = new Mailbox("Smtp of other mailbox");
FolderId SpamInbox = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, SpamMailbox);
Folder SpamFolder = Folder.Bind(service, SpamInbox);
FindItemsResults<Item> findItems = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.JunkEmail, new ItemView(10));
foreach (Item item in findItems)
item.Load();
ItemId ItemToMoveId = new ItemId(item.Id.UniqueId.ToString());
Item ItemToMove = Item.Bind(service, ItemToMoveId);
ItemToMove.Move(SpamFolder.Id);
//item.Move(SpamFolder.Id);

Cannot send email from the Mail App?

I've had an izymail subscription for 1 year and just renewed it last week. I could never send an email from my Mail App without a window popping up stating "izymail cannot connect to the server" and the sending bar (along the bottom of the screen) just freezes and will not send.
I've a Hotmail account linked up to izymail. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours. Then I changed every setting possible and finally figured out that I had 2-3 "Other SMTP Servers" as well as my "Primary Server". Once I deleted the Other SMTP Servers, my email worked and i'm able to send emails now!
I also think changing the "Server Port" number helped solve my problem also, and making sure "Use SSL" was turned off.
