I CAN DRAG EMAILS TO THE DESKTOP, BUT CAN'T DRAG THEM BACK???

I recently had to fix my Mail by replacing the Mail folder and prefs, which worked like a charm. But first, I saved my 50 most recent emails from my IN, SENT, and JUNK boxes, by individually dragging and dropping them to my desktop.
Now that my Mail is fixed, I'd like to replace them. But dragging and dropping them anywhere on the Mail Viewer Window doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know how I can get these individual emails back into the Mail application?
P.S. If I click on the individual files on my desktop, they open in email format (thank goodness). But I'd prefer storing them in the Mail app.

Try this - worked for me.
Double click on the desktop email so that it opens in Mail.
With the email open, select from the Mail Menu: Message>Move To>Inbox
Message should now appear in your Inbox as an Unopened message.
You could probably "Move To" other Mailboxes - I only tried moving it to the Inbox.
You can then delete the email file from your desktop.

    Did you 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.

  • Cannot see emails in the inbox, but can send emails out.  why?

    I bought the Galaxy S III about 3 months ago, and have been struggling to set up my personal email (my own domain hosted by godaddy.com).  my gmail accounts sync up nicely from day 1.
    Today, a tech rep from Godaddy.com suggested that i turn off wi-fi, and set up the account using the phone connection only.  That seemed to work, and i was able to set up personal email accounts (my own domain).
    Issues:  i cannot see any email in the Inbox. Every time i hit the button "load up to 50 more messages", the Update icon would spin for a few seconds, but no emails show up.  the message said "account last synced on date..., time....".  still no emails in the Inbox.
    a) i tried using the email software that came with the phone for the  (the icon has an envelope and a red seal in the middle).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    b) i tried using the K9 email app (downloaded from apps market, free).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    Does anyone know what i did wrong?  or is something wrong with my phone?
    thanks so much for your help

    good thinking.... I'm trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my desktop.  it's downloading emails from the server, but because i have so many emails up there (50K) for the past few years, it's not functioning properly yet.  i can see the emails and i can move them to different folders (10K emails in Inbox at a time, more get downloaded as i move emails out of the Inbox).  but i cannot send emails out from Outlook on the desktop. 
    wonder if these 2 issues are related.
    i can see, receive and send emails directly on the server (web) no problem. 
      I would try clearing out your inbox as much as possible, and then try it. Maybe it cannot index correctly to download because there are so many. Just a thought.

  • I can receive email on my 5s but can't send. Hosted Exchange 2013, 5s running 8.0

    We just moved email providers from in house (Exchange knock-off called 'Kerio' on a server) to hosted Microsoft Exchange 2013. My iPhone 4 (7.x) is able to connect to the new email server and send/receive emails. I've tried connecting my 5s (8.0) and a 5c (7.1.2) but I'm only able to receive email, not send. The 5c/5s were setup using 'Exchange' in the mail app. Any advice?

    Hello daveyellis
    Check the article below to go over some troubleshooting options to resolve issues with send emails from the Mail app. I would look at the settings and look at the outgoing mail server to make sure it is correct. If that does fix it, I would then remove the account and reset it up.

  • Mail Mac has deleted all my emails from the server..how to get them back?

    Mistakenly, I've changed the options in Mail app in Mac, which says "Remove copy from server after retrieving a massage" Immediately, and it deleted all my emails from the server. Is there anyway to return all my 3000 emails back to the server? cuz I want to access them from anywhere :S it's a hotmail account.

    You can create a new IMAP account in Apple Mail, and move all the messages to the IMAP folders. They are synced with the server.
    I don't know if hotmail supports imap though, I would prefer Gmail.

  • HT1668 I cannot remove the draft write mail template from the mail application screen. Save draft works but cancel does not remove the draft template. I can send email using the template but it remains on screen preventing me from accessing any mail

    Still can't get rid of the template page

    I am not at all sure about what you are calling a draft email template. I have never seen one in the mail app and unless this is something that you created in Pages or some other word processing program I don't know what template you are describing.
    Anyway, this may work. Quit the mail app and them go back and see if the draft is still on the screen.
    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Or try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

  • DAC - drops indexes in the task but does not create them back

    DAC is dropping indexes for a task but not recreating them. The execution plan drop/create checkbox is checked and other tasks' index drop/create is working correctly. Index setup is checked for drop/create as well.
    Is there somewhere within DAC that controls this function?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

  • Everything is fine with the iPad but can't send mail on cellular.

    I bought a new iPad with the Three 3G sim. I have broadband in the office through Orange and have synced the 2 all seems o.k. When in the office I can send and receive on wi-if, when in the middle of nowhere I can still receive, browse the web but can't reply to mail or write new and send. I have managed to forward my mail to my iCloud and sent it from there but it's not ideal. Any suggestions from anybody on how I can rectify this.

  • I just got my first mac pro and I can't get the photos out of iPhotos moved on my hp external hard drive, I try export says unable, then I try to drag it from the desktop to the external hard drive but same problem. Thank you so much

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

  • Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Here's the short-cut solution:
    Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
    HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
    Make sense?

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • My ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. Help!

    my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
    confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!
