How do I recover the trash mailbox in the mail application

Hello Everyone,
Today I was attempting to configure Gmail for mail.app and in the process I somehow deleted the trash mailbox that would normally reside under Inbox and Sent.
I don't really know how I deleted it or how to recover it but I am currently searching through all the mail.app system files.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to get that trash mailbox back?
Thanks,
Matt

Open your local Library. It's hidden so in Finder, hold down Option key and in the top menu, under "Go" select Library. The Finder will open your local library.
Enter Gmail in the search box and you should find a folder named,
[Gmail].mbox
Don't ask me why the name is written that way.
Right-click the file and select "Open Enclosing Folder" and you will see all your mail boxes for gmail. If the Trash is there, you have not deleted it.
Now, what you need is for someone to tell you how to put it back into the mail app.
I do not know how to do that, but at least you know whether or not the Trash is still on your system.
If you are using TM, it is much easier. Just open the email window and then open the TM interface from the Launch bar. You will see all your mail for as long as you have been using TM. Find the first instance of the Gmail trash in the time windows and click on it to select it. Not click the little Gear in the TM window and select restore it. The trash will be restored to your gmail account.
I have done this once and it works.

  • Where is the trash mailbox

    it is not on the sidebar ?  how to put it there?

    I would take this question to the OS X Lion forum, since this forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware.  On my side panel, I see the Trash Mailbox, so I'm not sure what your issue  might be.  I'm sure someone there will help you.

    How do you recover a deleted playlist from the cloud?

    If you navigate to your Trash folder the message should be there ... if not then perhaps this is a setting on your particular account (the Exchange server side, not the iPhone). On my Exchange account for work I can go to the Trash folder and not only find a deleted message, but move it back to my Inbox (or any other folder).

    What you say about Send Later timestamp is correct.
    When you click Send or Send Later a time is set regardless of when you actually sent the Send Later email.

    recover the trail file col values to a SQL?GoldenGate "capture" (extract) parses the redo/archive logs and writes out trail data in a GG-specific, database independent format. The trail contains changed-data events: inserts, updates & deletes (and optionally DDL events.) The GG replicat reads this data and converts the data to SQL to be applied to the target.
    The GG trail files are not the same as the data as originally seen in the redo logs (GG is not doing any type of log-shipping of redo logs). The actual data in the trail isn't really important for end-users; it's an implementation detail (much like you shouldn't care what Oracle's redo log format is). But you can use "logdump" to inspect the contents of this (binary) file... again, kind of like LogMiner can be used to inspect archive logs.
    There are a number of (conceptual) analogies one can draw between Oracle redo logs & GG trail files. But they're not the same. Your questions are mostly internal implementation details that are not really important for understanding how GoldenGate works. Nonetheless, it is useful to become familiar with logdump for advanced troubleshooting.
    Good luck,

  • I FORGOT MY IPAD4(wifi) password and it got disabled now how can i recover it?? By the way the wifi is of and the location services and find my ipad are enabled now what can i do to recover it???? PLZ HELP!!!

    I FORGOT MY IPAD4(wifi) password and it got disabled now how can i recover it?? By the way the wifi is of and the location services and find my ipad are enabled now what can i do to recover it???? PLZ HELP!!!

    Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
    If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

  • I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have set it to delete every month but it has been keeping the trash mails for only about 10 days. Please help.

    I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have had it set to delete the messages once a month. But lately it has been deleting my messages every 10 days. I have tried choosing different options to set the trash mailbox behavior but has not been successful. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

  • How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    From Mail help:
    Make a sender a VIP
    To keep track of messages you receive from especially important people, make them VIPs in Mail. You can have up to 100 VIPs.
    To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
    To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar.
    If a VIP has several email addresses in Contacts, messages from any of those addresses will appear in the VIP’s mailbox.
    If you use iCloud Contacts, your VIPs are available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
    So to remove a VIP mailbox, you would have to remove all its people, and then exit mail.
