I see briefly the content of my Mail Inbox of an IMAP account, then everything disappear and the inbox is empty

Hi There,
I have beeen experiencing for the past few days some issues with my Inbox of an IMAP based email account. My inbox is empty.
When I start mail my Inbox is empty after briefly appearing at the sgtart of the application.
I installed thunderbird to verify that my IMAP account was not the issue and I can clearly see, receive and send email.
I can also access that account via a webmail interface and everything seems fine.
The problem started occuring after getting some error messages from the server indicating that I had gobe over the allocated quota. I cleaned up the account but now mail does present me an empty inbox. Again the account info are valid, nothing has changed.
The interesting things is that my iphone & ipad that are using the same setup and my inbox is also empty there.
With mountain lion (clean install), I can see the emails arriving via the notification bar.
I am at a loss and would appreciate any help if somebody has encountered such a problem.
Thanks
Eric

Try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me download certain apps. They show up on itunes but not on my phone, if I download the app from my computer it loads on my phone then immediately disappears. The 'FREE' button is white in the app store for certain apps. PLEASE HELP!

    I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • HT1379 i tried to update and there was an error, i tried again. when i tried to start, i get the chime and a progress bar that goes about 25% then disappears and the computer turns off. nothing works. it does this every time i try to start

    i just received a mac book pro from my dad. while trying to get used to it i tried to upgrade the os which failed because of an error. i tried again. when i tried to start later, i get a chime, and progress bar, and a spinning wheel. after 1 minute the bar is only progressed 25% then it disappears and the screen goes black. none of the keys work. I tried to re boot and the same thing happens. what do i do?

    If it's new and you don't have anything on it yet, you can reinstall the OS from scratch. You don't say what OS or model, but try booting while holding down the Command and R keys. If you get the recovery partition, use Disk Utility to reformat the disk then reinstall.
    This will wipe out everything on the drive though.

  • Since installing OS X 10.9 some (not all) of my mailboxes have lost the contents of their mail messages. Can I restore them?

    Since installing OS X 10.9 last week, my Mail app is malfunctioning. I can no longer read the contents of old mail messages in some of my mailboxes. Others are fine. Can I restore them?

    As EtreCheck just provides a snapshot in time, it is not terribly useful for figuring out what is slowing the system down unless you have known bad actors running on your Mac that show up in the report.
    You need to watch Activity Monitor when it slows down and see what is chewing up CPU and Memory.
    If the Memory Pressure gets into the Red while using it, then it is likely not enough RAM for what you are trying to do. With the check you posted above, you weren't having any memory issues at that moment.
    You've got a handful of startup items which I know nothing about. Try disabling them and see if things are better.
    User Login Items:
        WBE Desktop Notifier
        WorkspaceUpdate
        iTunesHelper
        AdobeResourceSynchronizer
    And
    [loaded]    com.starfield.backupservice.plist 3rd-Party support link
    You can test by booting into Safe Mode. If it works reasonable well there, it is likely one of the startup or login items.
    If not, I would agree with others that it is the lack of RAM.

  • How to extract the content of a mail message?

    Friends,,,
    How to extract the content of a mail message?
    the message does not contain any attachments or images.
    its just a plain text..
    if i use message.getContent(), in addition of the content it returns headers information also...
    but i need only the content of that message...
    if i write code like this:
    String content = (String) message.getContent();
    it gives cast exception...
    if the message contains only plain text, no multipart, then which method is useful to extract only the content?
    please tell me friends..
    thanks in advannce,
    regards,
    Venkata Naveen

    Message.getContent() does not return headers for a simple text/plain
    message. If you're getting headers, something else is wrong.
    Also, casting the result to String should work.
    Most likely the message really isn't a simple text/plain message.
    Provide more details and we'll help you figure out what you're
    doing wrong.
    Also, please read the msgshow.java demo program included with JavaMail.

  • HELP - The content in my mail messages has disappeared

    HELP -I've been trying to organize hundreds of messages (sent and received) so I've been creating mailboxes and submailboxes, without problem except for the occasional (you can not move this mail) message which I have not understood.
    I just created a submailbox and moved about 50 messages there which had a common topic. All of the messages are listed in the top window (with title date and time received), but the contents are gone. The only thing in the lower window is the same message for each email:
    "The message from Executive Producer <[email protected]> [OR WHOEVER THE SENDER IS] concerning “studio feasibility?” [OR WHATEVER THE TITLE OF THE MESSAGE IS] has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    HELP. Are these messages gone forever? Can I get them back? What did I do wrong?
    PS - I'm still receiving new messages, so the account is online. And the messages are from a few different accounts to a few different email addresses of mine (and vice versa), but they are all blank.

    Ernie,
    Mail allows the same folder to behave as both a mailbox and as a parent folder for other folders. Each aspect of this duality is supported by a different folder in the filesystem (.mbox suffix for the mailbox, no suffix for the parent folder), even though it appears as a single folder in Mail.
    When the user creates a new folder by means of Mailbox > New Mailbox, Mail assumes it’ll be used as a mailbox (as the name of the command indicates) and the .mbox variant is created in the filesystem. If the user later creates or moves other folders within this folder, Mail creates the no-suffix variant in the filesystem and puts the subfolders there, but nothing appears to change in Mail itself.
    Folders appear blue in Mail as long as there exists an associated .mbox folder in the filesystem, regardless of whether a corresponding folder without suffix exists as well. Only folders that don’t have an associated folder with an .mbox suffix in the filesystem appear white in Mail. That is, a folder appears blue in Mail as long as it can behave as a mailbox (i.e. store messages of their own), and white if it can only be used as a parent folder for other folders.
    Problem is, Mail doesn’t handle this duality very well. I always recommend users to use each folder as either a mailbox or as a parent folder, but not both. From what I’ve seen reported here many times, “taking advantage” of the duality is calling for trouble, e.g.:

  • I had an imap account in my iPad and my iPhone 4. They worked just fine till about Christmas. They act like they are checking the mail and it shows there is mail to come in, but it just goes back to saying checking mail.  Can't send mail either.

    I had an imap account in my iPad and my iPhone 4. They worked just fine till about Christmas. They act like they are checking the mail and it shows there is mail to come in, but it just goes back to saying checking mail.  Can't send mail either.

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob

  • I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

    I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to view the content of multiple lists(located in multiple webs) in one ListViewWebpart? And how can I filter a multivalue column?

    Is it possible to view the content of multiple lists, that are located in different webs as well, in just one ListViewWebpart? Could I maybe change the query programmatically so that it get's the content this way?
    I know that I could use the Content Query Webpart instead - actually I have been using that so far, but the problem is, that it brings no standard Sharepoint functionality for lists with it... I had to write the xsl style sheet, there are no dynamic filters
    that the user could set, there are no default list operations the user could use.
    The ListViewWepart has all of these, but it only shows the content of one list...
    And my second problem:
    One column can contain multiple values (like a column that contains multiple users or user groups that are related to one entry). I can filter every other column with the standard filters, but not the column with multiple values in it. Is it possible to
    activate that or maybe add this feature programmatically?

    You can fetch data from multiple lists in ListViewWebpart, this can be possible through Content Query web part or Custom Web Part using visual studio but in that case you can not get the standard SharePoint funcationality for list (which is available in
    ListViewWebparts).
    No OOB filter available for multi-choice column, you also have to go with custom solution to achieve this.

  • I have problems .!!!!   HELP    .... My 4 mails went over 17GB. I proceeded to cancel in my iphone the 4 accounts(yahoo, gmail ,icloud and the business email) and nothing, I am in the same 17GB.

    I wouldn't worry.  Assuming you haven't hacked the phone you cannot have installed any viruses or spyware just by clicking a link in an email.  Sounds like the page you accessed could not be read on the phone anyway, or it was just a dead link.

  • Mail.app handling multiple IMAP accounts

    Hi,
    I find it really hard to use multiple IMAP accounts with Mail.app. The way it displays IMAP accounts is really ugly and very confusing. At best you have one Inbox which displays all the Inboxes on your accounts. Then you have separate drafts, sent, trash treelike view for your accounts "special" mailboxes and then again some-kind-of-tree-view of your IMAP account - which by the way doesn't always even display! It depends if you have checked save trash/sent/junk/etc. messages to server or something which really doesn't have any logic in it. Also it doesn't display all the folders like Inbox (which is combined mailbox at the top which I explained). Then you can drag mailbox from your IMAP account to the "panel" which I think only copies and is not shortcut.
    Could you please do something to this instead of adding some ugly templates for sending your holiday pictures to your mom. I think that Mail.app should be developed to more "professional" usage, rather than develope features that teaches people to use their mailclient as a personal spamming tool for horrible HTML-mails.
    ps. I'd also like to turn off that stupid embedded-attachemts. Attachments are attachments and not a part of the email content thanks.
    -edit-
    you can see a screenshot of my Mail.app at work. I use more mailboxes at home and it's way more ugly. There should also be somekind of "don't display" -options as it displays some horrible Exchange-folders also.

    Please tell us what your computer shows for the contents of the two lines I've indicated with red arrows. The processor type will at least tell us to which of the four basic iMac families yours belongs. That's a start and can help you avoid getting advice that is not appropriate to your Mac model.
