How to restore mail notification on OS X Yosemite

I updated to OS X Yosemite the very day that it was released and for the most part works great. After a couple of days though I noticed that my mail notification is not working. My mail app icon lights up but I don't receive the notification. Is anyone else having this problem? I am on a 15" Macbook Pro early 2011. I have already tried removing my mail accounts and re-adding them but no luck. Can someone please help me.
Thanks,
Raymond C.

yes. and when i open the mail application ill get a list of notifications all at once. this is part of a bigger problem because the only way i can get my most updated mail is leave mail open all the time. so many problems with the new os

Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to restore mail files from Time Capsule onto a different machine?

My Macbook Pro hard drive crashed, and I want to restore my backed-up mail files from Time Capsule onto my Desktop Mac (iMac 27"). When I try to restore by opening Time Capsule with Mail already open, I can only see the current mail files on the iMac (not the backed up files on the MacBook Pro), even when I point to the MacBook Pro backup file.

Is this possible?

How to restore mail

My mail got corrupted. I have several POP accounts and a .mac account. I am trying to get all my mailboxes restored from backup data.
Here is what I did. I have the user/library/mail folder backed up. I quit mail and moved what I believed to be the corrupted /library/mail folder to the trash and replaced in with what I think is a clean backup /library/mail folder. I then restarted mail expecting it to bring up all the email boxes etc from the back up. Several of the mailboxes are missing. All the mail in the inbox is marked as unread. The Sent folder is empty. From comparison to the backup I know the sent folder is supposed to have ~20 MBytes of data in it and also has .mbox files that don't appear in mail.
I'm pretty confused by all this and would appreciate any insight. Note my OS is 10.3.9.
Thanks,

Do I need to restore the preferences file com.apple.mail.plist also in addition to the library mail file to get this to work?
I have observed something interesting. I do what I described in my first post and restored just the library>mail folder without doing anything to the prefernece file. Then after starting mail the library>mail folder grows with approximately twice the number of folders. It is as if mail makes some new empty folders or mailboxes instead of using the ones in the restored mail. I'm away from my mac now so I haven't tried restoring preferences yet.

How to configure mail notification on a folder content change?

Hello,
I would like to configure a mail notification whenever a certain folder's content changes. In order to acomplish this I did the following:
1. Configured new email Channel with the exchange address.
2. Assigned this channel to the Notificator service.
3. Subscribed to the requested folder with "Every Event".
The problem is that I don't receive mail notifications on change. What am I doing wrong or missing here?

Hi,
Don't use exchange.... use an SMTP hostname if you have access to one!
It is a lot easier as all you need is the hostname of the SMTP server without having to worry about authorizations.
Cheers,
Vic

How do I stop notifications to upgrade to Yosemite?

I'm on 10.6.8. I keep getting notifications to upgrade to Yosemite. I don't want to upgrade because I've heard Yosemite caused problems and lag issues to Logic Pro 9. I don't want to keep getting the notifications to upgrade. I've refused so many times, but it keeps popping up. How do I stop these?

The updates list is blank and says "no updates are available". Even when I clicked "show incompatible app update", Yosemite still isn't listed on there. So, where else am I supposed to click?
Since the update list is blank, I tried right-clicking the "free update" button, but all that did was download Yosemite, which I don't want to do, so I paused it.
Do you why am I getting notices to upgrade to Yosemite if there are "no updates available" in the App Store? Or am I supposed to download Yosemite first, then right-click it to hide the update?

How to restore mail and address book?

I recently had to reformat my hard drive and I had backed up my entire home directory. I would like to either restore everything in these two programs, or consolidate the data with that on another computer. Where do I find the files? I assumed it would be in Library somewhere, but I can't find them, what are they called, and how do I get the data back into the programs?

You will find the Mail data in /Home/Library/Mail/. Address Book and iCal data are in /Home/Library/Applications Support/. The preference files are in /Home/Library/Preferences/ and will begin with "com.apple.".
Copy the appropriate files and folders to their corresponding locations on your computer.

How to restore Mail inbox for one mail account?

I am away from home, and the inbox of one of my mail accounts on my MBP (10.7.3) has lost all its information. When I get home I want to restore (most of) the lost data from my Time Machine backup.
However, I do not want to restore all the accounts and all the mailboxes, just the one that was lost.
How to I find the Inbox for that account, in order to use the older file in Time Machine to restore it with?
DN

You just go to the mailbox in Mail that the messages are missing from and then, from there, choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu bar icon. You'll see the Time Machine interface, showing the current version of that mailbox, and you can go back in time to when the messages were still there. Then select the messages you want to restore (all of them, I'd guess) and restore them. They'll show up in a new mailbox (Recovered Messages or something? I forget exactly what it's called), and you can move them back to where you want from there.

How to restore Mail and Safari from TM

Here's the background... I posed this question earlier today...
Just got my daughter a new 2.4GHz/160GB HDD/Wht Macbook for college. when she was running the initial setup for User/Account/Shortcut name she input her email user name as her shortcut account name (the name that appears in Finder under Places with the house icon).
Question is - can the name she enter that appears in Finder under Places with the house icon be changed or renamed??
Niel answered/solved the question via the following instruction:
Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, release the padlock, control-click her name, choose Advanced Options, and change the settings.
end background info.
So, being the idiot Dad that I am... I decide to do the same on my 2 year old iMac (that was working wonderfully I might add) only to find out that my ALL my mail and associated folders "On My Mac" disappeared as well as ALL my Safari bookmarks, Dock, Menu Bar and you knows what else changed and/or dissappeared. Its like the system did an OS reset. YIKES! Niel's instruction didn't indicate this... not that it's his fault - its mine! Niel's instruction worked fine on a NEW Mac, but changed things terribly on my 2yr iMac.
So "my" question is - how can I recover from this??
Did multiple TM backups on 7/12/08. went to restore latest 7/12/08 backup but wasn't really sure what to backup. I hope I'm not messed up and can recover from this. My name change was so minor I feel like an idiot for doing it and these discussion groups have ALWAYS helped. So please - HELP me again. Can I or should I do a complete system restore to get me back or does this apparent OS reset mean I'm screwed? Also, never done a restore yet, so I'm kind of worried I'll make things worse. I LOVED my machine before I made the change and would LOVE to get back. Any and all input welcomed.
Signed,
Dummy Daddy

Should I call you Daddy, or just Dummy? (LOL),
You have one of two options. If you really want to use the new name, you can do so, but it will entail using the command line (Terminal). It's a pretty easy thing to do, though.
Another option is to just go back to the "Accounts" pane, and reverse the change you made.
Your old HOME folder, along with all the things you are now missing, is still there. If you have any doubts, look in the "Users" folder for it. Do not "monkey" with it until you decide which of the above options you would like to use.
Post back with your choice, and I'll provide instructions.

How to restore Mail and iphoto after a complete OS reinstall

Hi
I have searched as best I can to see if anyone has asked the same question, but no luck.
I want to do a complete reinstall of Leopard. I have an external HD and have activated TM so as far as I know I have a full back up.
Once I reloaded the OS can i bring back my Mail set up as it is. By this I mean, is there a way to restore all my folders, emails and settings?
Also with iphoto, can i bring it all back in as it is now?
I fully understand how to get a file back using TM, it seems pretty easy, but applications seem a little more difficult.
Please can someone give me some advice on this.
Many many thanks
Stewart

So you intend to erase (or replace) your boot disk and install Leopard on it, right? After the installation finishes, you'll be asked to create your account etc etc etc. The very last step is you are asked if you'd like to use the Migration Assistant to restore from another Mac or TimeMachine. If you say yes the Migration Assistant starts up and you can choose your TimeMachine drive.
Here I'm fuzzy because I've not performed this step. I think you'll get the same options as you do if you migrate from another Mac - the choice of Applications, Files/Folder, or Library. If I'm correct, you choose what you want to migrate, start it, and walk away until it finishes.
Now I know this works because I did before I knew I could use the Migration Assistant with TimeMachine. After you get to the desktop you select TimeMachine and select the drive that has the backup. TimeMachine starts up and you can browse the folders and times until you find a folder/file you want to transfer. Select it, click on the Restore button down at the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and let it work.

How to restore mail messages and address book?

Recently the hard drive on my eMac failed. The drive would no longer mount. Fortunately, my entire user folder has been recovered. While I see the files such as AddressBook.data and Incoming_Mail they are showing up as generic documents. I can't seem to import these files or open them with their respective applications (Address Book and Mail). How can I restore these previous messages and prior address book? I want to add this recovered data to the new address book and mailboxes that I have created in the interim after the hard drive crashed and I began using another Mac.
17" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the new version of Mail is not recognizing the mbox files and therefore I can't import them.
Again, this is wrong. Not only does Mail 2.x recognize Mail 1.x mailboxes, but can import them as either Mail for Mac OS X or as Other. The exact procedure is slightly different in each case.
I need a way to bring these old mbox message files into Tiger.
And I need that you explain what exactly it is that you’re doing and what exactly is the problem in order to be able to determine what exactly it is that you’re doing wrong...

How to restore mail accounts and settings from time machine

Long story short...the day that my applecare expired my hard drive went out in my 2009 mbp. So, I bought a new hard drive to upgrade from 250gb to 750gb. Problem was that when I installed it and went through everything...my new hard drive was too large than the computer was made to handle. I called Apple Care and they made an exception and talked with me - which revealed that the hd was too big. His suggestion was to try to intall the os from the disk and see if it will work. So, I popped in my Leopard Install disc...did all the updates...then snow leopard...then all the updates....then Lion...then all the updates. I ended up getting all of my main files that I wanted, along with my iTunes account (my iCal and Address book were synced to my cloud, so they popped up quickly). HOWEVER...I'm trying to get my work email account (along with the folders of old emails) back in mail. I can't seem to find the right file (I don't see a mail plist file in my preferences folder). Can anyone help please???

For posterity's sake, since i had this issue too, i thought i'd post my solution.
Locate and save a copy, locally on your computer, of a library.itl file that would contain the playlist you need. I'd suggest saving to your desktop. name it so you'll recognize it as the old library file.
Quit iTunes if open, and relaunch, holding down the Option key immediately after
when prompted, select "Choose Library"
Find the file you saved in step 1. this will launch iTunes with all the old playlists and such. Don't worry, it doesn't touch the actual songs themselves, so nothing is lost of from your current library.
Find the playlist(s) you want, right click on them and export. save them as .txt file (again, suggest desktop for ease)
Once all playlists you want to restore are saved, quit iTunes.
Launch iTunes, again pressing Option immediately after
Select "Choose Library" and select the Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Library.itl file. This will restore iTunes to the most current copy of your library
Select File -> Library -> Import Playlist and find the .txt file for your playlist on your desktop. et voila!

How to restore MAIL and ability to update software

By accident, I erased all website data. Now no MAIL and no updates.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Recover Files in The Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.

How to restore mail with Time Machine?

Hi,
I recently (accidentally) deleted an old mail account, which also seems to delete all of the messages on that account from your mail client.
Using time machine I selected the application (from a backup about a week ago), and clicked 'Restore'.
I selected 'Keep Both' so as to maintain my newer mail (just seeing what would happen).
Now I have two mail applications, one called 'Mail' and one called 'Mail (original)'
However, neither of them have my 2nd account with my associated emails. Can anyone advise?
Just to be clear, both mail apps seem to be exactly the same.
Many Thanks,
Drew
Message was edited by: xroox

Of course they are both the same. The application is not what you want to restore; it's the mailboxes that you want. Throw one of the redundant applications away. Now open Mail, then enter Time Machine while Mail is the current application. Step back in time until you find the mailboxes you need.
