I lost mail smart folders on iMac after delete them on Mac Air

I lost mail smart folders on iMac after delete them on Mac Air with differents mail accounts.
I don't undestand, I have email accounts totally differents between iMac and Mac Air, I don't know if is an iCloud issue.
When I open Mail on Air I see a lot of smart folders I use on iMac and I thinked of a some old sync mismatch, so I deleted smart folders on Air.
Today when I turn on my iMac I see I lost ol my smart folders, but are differents computers, differents email accounts, one used for work the other at home (gmail).
Of course I have time machine backup but don't know how to restore smart folders.
Please help me, I don't want smart folders be synced beetween differents accounts
I attach my iCloud settings...

I don't know the answer to your question, but smart folders do not actaually contain messages, just links to messages from other folders. So nothing has actually been lost. Once you recreate the smart folders, you'll see the same mail inside them that you did before.

Flagged mails shown in "flagged" folder after deleting them

Hi folks,
I have the following problem with my mail app:
I marked 4 mails as flagged and they were shown in the "flagged"-folder. After deleting them the flagged folder shows still the 4 flagged mails although they are deleted. Meanwhile I reinstalled the specific mail account, restarted the iPhone and so on. Nothing helped. Any ideas? Thx in advance.
(iPhone 4S, iOS 7)

Hi Laura
I'm not sure you said which version of RoboHelp you are
using. I'm going to base my answer on X5.
You should find a file inside your project folder location
that is named rhbuildtag.apj. So what I would do is to close
RoboHelp HTML, locate and delete your ProjectName.CPD file. Edit
the rhbuildtag.apj file to remove any instances of those tags. Then
restart RoboHelp HTML and see if things have improved. If my hunch
is correct, this should correct the issue.
Cheers... Rick

Mail Smart Folders across accounts / between Macs

OS X Mail Smart Folders are very useful, but I have one problem:
My "Unread" folder between accounts and Macs has two criteria: Unread, plus on one account, not in a certain Inbox. Now, the mail account that I use for that 2nd criteria is only set up for use on one account. I have 2 accounts on my Mac Pro and 1 account on my MBP. When I check my Mail Unread folder on the other account and other Mac, the Unread folder syncs across iCloud, but since that email account I use for the 2nd criteria is not set up (active) on the other account / Mac, the Unread folder essentially breaks. If I edit it, then it breaks on the other user account where that 2nd criteria is effective.
Does that make sense? Anyone else having iCloud Mail Smart Folder sync issues across accounts / Macs?
Running OS X Yosemite all up to date on everything.

iCloud does not support or sync Smart Mailboxes or local folders. You can create mailboxes at the iCloud.com site that will be IMAP and show in the Mail sidebar under the iCloud folder. Those will show up on all devices.
Other than that, iCloud will only sync Mail's main mailboxes (default mailboxes).
In Addition to better explain:
Local folders under On My Mac are folders only located on the computer. They are not part of any IMAP or Exchange account.
Smart Mailboxes are for the most part just search engines. Messages are not stored in those, but they merely point to messages which actually reside in the original mailbox where they are stored.

Mac Mail Smart Folders triplicate messages (Gmail-based mail server)

I can't get Mail Smart Folders to work well with my Virginmedia mail server, which seems to use a Gmail type of system. (I'm using IMAP).
It is easy to set up an instruction to select mail e.g. from defined individuals only, or any other qualifier.
However, I get all mail in triplicate: from the normal Inbox, but also from Gmail-type "All Mail" and "Important" inboxes. I know these mailboxes exist on the Virginmedia server, and also, virtually, in Mail, but I don't ever look at them or need to. There might be a way of not having all mails defined as "Important" on the server, but "All Mail" exists by default and can't be removed, for obvious reasons.
I have tried various additional instructions in the Smart Folder such as include if "Message is in Inbox", but that selects all messages. Also, if "Message is not in Inbox", so that I get only two sets of messages, but that has produced strange results such as messages marked as in Spam folder, which seem to have nothing to do with the defined instructions.
Is there anything "smart" I can do about this, or is it just a matter of Mail not being up to speed with Gmail-based servers. It's just an annoyance, more than anything.

Nope. Gone.
I went to my second mac. Opened Mail, it refreshed its previous state, with 1100 messages in the Inbox, I was relieved and while thinking about my backup options, Mail started its new activity cycle and POOF....Gone. One test message in the Inbox.

Lion Mail selects the wrong entry after delete?

Does anyone else thing Mail selects the wrong entry after delete? Say your scanning through your mail from latest to oldest, something most people seem to do. You click on an entry, read the mail and then press delete to move it to trash. Mail picks the next newest entry instead of the one right after the one you deleted. But you've probably already looked at that one and want to look at the next older item. So I have to select, delete, click the down arrow, delete, etc. in order to quickly go through mail, deleting the ones I don't need, and leaving others I want to go back too.
Seems like there should be an option to set what the next entry is after delete.

My email keeps loading the same emails even after deleting them. They keep coming back everytime I start up the mail app. What can I do?

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility. Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
Hope this helps

How to keep items on ATV after deleting them on iTunes library

does anyone know how to delete movies/tv shows on the computer's hard disk/i tunes library without loosing them on the ATV after the next sync. My problem is that I am only using a Laptop and my HD is already full and I want to delete some of my movies/tv shows on it and I want to keep them on the ATV. However even if I go to manual sync and uncheck the specific items ATV will delete these movies from its storage upon the next sync process. So is there a way to keep items on the ATV after deleting them in the iTunes library?

Unfortunately, that's not how it's supposed to work.
The important thing to appreciate is that AppleTV is not like an external storage/backup device as you cannot ordinarily get files from it should you need to transfer them elsewhere or you lose the originals. You must back up anything you'd hate to lose in some other way.
Many of us attach an external USB drive to the computer, migrate the iTunes library to that, and stream most content, however that is less practical with a laptop if you need the laptop to be mobile and to use AppleTv when it's on the move.
One thing you could try is to test delete a file from the iTunes library manually. In that way iTunes still holds a reference to the file but complains it can't find it. Not sure if this still causes file deletion from AppleTV as the item is still referenced in the database but you could try it and see (make sure you copy the file somewhere safe first!).

Do tracks of files/pictures/etc. remain hidden inside the iphone after deleting them?

If so, I am deeply concerned. I won't get into the whole location tracking feature but allegedly forensic analysis of the iPhone can reveal what pictures you've had on your iPhone even after deleting them. A few questions:
- There are many "scanner" apps out there and the idea of a hidden document scan lying there hidden raises concern.
- Since the battery is NOT user replaceable, does Apple give you a refurbished iPhone with a new battery when you bring in your iPhone for battery replacement? Sensitive files/pictures might still be on it and the idea of getting someone else's iPhone doesn't seem appealing to me. I don't want a scratched iPhone since I've kept mine in a leather case all the time.
- Does the "erase all content and settings" feature truly erases ALL content of your iPhone? (e.g. does it zero out data?)

i feel your pain
this is so infuriating
it's great little app, and so easy to record audio on the fly.
BUT then absolutely impossible to easily transfer them to my desktop.

Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.

Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.
I tried cleaning all appstore.plist, cache, cookie files.
The problem remains the same.
Please advice.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Mail Smart Folders lost on every restart

This is a last-ditch effort to resolve an issue that I've long given up on resolving: My smart folders in mail disappear every time I restart the computer. It is limited to my user account. I honestly cannot remember what I've tried to fix it, as I've had this problem since one of the early point releases of Leopard, and have tried many many things.
Has anyone had this before? Any ideas of how to fix?
Thanks.

Greetings,
Maybe your Mail preferences file is corrupted. Try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and remove the com.apple.mail.plist file.
3. Restart Mail and setup your account(s) again, then setup your Smart Folders again.
4. Quit and restart Mail again to see if your preferences stick. If so, delete the old com.apple.mai.plist file that you previously removed.

List view status of flagged messages in Yosemite Mail Smart Folders

I'm using Mail in Yosemite with an Exchange server. Before Yosemite, everything was fine, now I have an issue with message flag status in Smart Folders. I have a Smart Folder which is my "ongoing" mail folder; it is set to only show unread and/or flagged messages. In the latest version of Mail, setting the messages flagged status does not change the flag icon in the message list, but does in the header of the actual mail message. The only way to get the flag to show up in the list is to select another folder and then reselect the smart folder. It does this on both my MacBook Pro and iMac, with with the latest Yosemite version and all updates applied.
In the previous OS X Mail (Mavericks) changing the flag status would remove/add the flag icon in the message list pane; now it doesn't. It's insanely annoying.
Anyone else seen this bug? I have tried recreating the smart folder and that makes no difference, neither has rebuilding the mailbox/deleting index/envelope file. No changes have been made to our Exchange server.
Cheers
Matthew

Well, I guess those are more "smart inboxes" and not "smart mailboxes" in iOS...

Column view not peristent in mail smart folders

I use a smart folder which displays multiple actual folders; I enable the mailbox column, but as soon as I move to another folder and back, the column becomes disabled.
I assume from some other old messages that this is the intended default behavior and not a bug. Does anyone know whether there is a way to ensure persistent column settings, and if not, if this is a planned fix for the next version of mail.app?
Thanks very much.
(searching: persistent column views in mail; View > Columns > Mailbox)

I'd love to know too, but can't seem to find out how.
This seems like a major oversight/quirk.
I have to adjust the column widths often -- otherwise they bounce back.
I have this in the Inbox, not just Smart Folders.

Why the mail smart folders don't show the email?

Suddenly (as it looks to me) any smart folders of Mail show their email; someone does have anything to suggest?

Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and use the minus sign "-" at the bottom to remove any and all accounts that you don't want in Mail.

Why do my Mac Mail smart folders keep disappearing

Each time I shutdown and restart my computer there seem to be a different listing of smart folders that are available. I've moved and stored important emails in these folders and when they appear at random, it is hard to perform normal business functions.
Thank you!
Jason
