IMAP GMAIl and Leopard Mail...where are deleted messages?

I have followed these instructions in mapping folders from Google website (below). When I delete a message while on iMac/Apple Mail..i cant see where it went! It is in the GMAIl ALL MAIL folder but not in trash. When I delete from gmail website while on web browser, a deleted message goes in TRASH.
Apple Mail
From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors
Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > checked
Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check

There is a potential solution at Macosxhints.com

Followed the tip above and it hasn't occurred again (yet).
Hope that helps

IMAP, Gmail and Apple Mail in Leopard

Has anyone got Gmail IMAP to work properly in Apple Mail in Leopard?
Although IMAP is still being rolled out, it's arrived on my 'spare' Gmail account so I tried it out in Mail on Leopard - with very mixed results.
I followed the official Gmail instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12761
then looked here: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
for some additional help.
It does sort of work, but Messages don't usually appear in the InBox and setting Gmail folders to be for sent mail, deleted etc as per the second link doesn't seem to work that well.
Anyone had a good experience with this? Got any tips?
Thanks

I am using it. It is working pretty well. You do have to set up your account manually. Note the following recommendations from Google:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
I have a post detailing my setup here:
http://pt.withy.org/ptalk/archives/2007/11/gmailimap_on_myiphone.html
The one problem I am having with Leopard Mail is that despite setting my account to not move deleted messages to the trash, and having Show Deleted Messages enabled per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9911.html
When I delete a message it disappears from my InBox immediately, and there is no Undo Delete Message action available (as there used to be in Tiger Mail). The message is still available in my All Mail folder under [GMail], but I sorely miss the ability to quickly un-delete a mail message... Hope this will be fixed in 10.5.1!

Mail: Where are email messages and address book saved?

Good morning.
I would like to backup both emails and the address book in Mail.
Where are these located on my harddrive?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Again Bruce,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

In Apple Mail where are the message in Trash stored?

Somehow all my Trash message from March 2014 through September 2014 have been removed. In the Trash box I have Trash message going back many years prior to March 2014 and then again starting in late September 2014. Since I do backups with CrashPlan off site, if I knew where the trash was kept, I could go to Crashplan and restore them. In Crashplan I have it set to never delete any files, only to keep adding, so they should be there. I also have Presference box Move Deleted Messages to Trash mailbox checked and Store deleted messages on the server. - Godaddy is my server and it doesn't seem that Godaddy is rstoring them because the Trash box there has only a few days worth of deleted messages. Could it be since I have checked both boxes, it is not keeping them on my computer since I also check to store on server?
I did restore from CrashPlan

spotlight search "trash".

IMap Gmail and Mac Mail - email pileup.

I added my gmail account to mac mail as an imap acount thinking that it would be easier to keep my emails synced with the server. It was working well for a while, but then I started to notice something. On the sidebar in mail there is the MAILBOXES section with the inbox, sent, trash and junk folders. Then below that there is the section called MYACCOUNT and in it is the [Gmail] folder with the All Mail, drafts, sent mail, spam, starred, and trash folders.
I have found that over time the 'All Mail' folder in this section fills up with all my mail, including the spam. The spam stays there even after I have deleted it from the spam folder so that now, with only 3000 emails in my inbox, there are 14000 + emails in the 'all mail' folder.
Does anyone know why these emails seem to pile up like that or how I can stop it from happening?
Thanks,
Alwaysapple

Unless you need to access all your mail across several different computers or locations, IMAP is not the best solution. You should set this up as a POP3 account and be sure to set your preferences for each account to delete mail from the server (Gmail) after you retrieve it.
There are many reasons advantages to using IMAP as opposed to POP3 even if you're using a single computer.
Online backups
Saved drafts
Remote access via webmail and alternative clients if you don't have your computer with you
Faster--download meta data (subject, etc.) and then the message body
The list gets really long if you start looking at the advantages in the case of multiple email clients, which just about everyone has now. The majority of email users have computers and home and at work, and a pretty substantial chunk of them have portable (think iPhone) or web-based clients that they also use.
I'm sorry to say it, but recommending POP3 over IMAP as a better protocol demonstrates your lack of knowledge of subject matter. Thanks for piping in, but people here aren't looking that kind of help.

Old computer I had is OSX Snow Leopard with Entourage. New one is OSX Mavericks. Using Mail where are my addresses and old address book. Transferred old computer backup by Time Machine and other things work? Can't see a symbol for address book.

GMail and Mac Mail (and iPhone)

i am on IMAP and have a number of accounts including a GMail account. when i look at this account i have a somewhat confusing set of folders that i would like to understand better. Does anyone know of a good and short resource that explains how to organize GMail folders and what they do or why they are there? Does anyone have an explanation as to where an "iPhone deleted" message would go?
These are my folders:
Inbox
Drafts
Sent Mail
Trash
[GMail] > with various subfolders i have created and various subfolders that i didn't create such as "Chat" "Important" "Spam" and "Starred"
Apple Support Communities
Deleted Messages
Drafts
Junk
Sent Messages
etc.
3. I have looked in Trash and in Deleted Messages and i am not seeing it and at this point i am trying a search from my desktop computer to try and located this.

E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access

Dear All
I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
Please help me out for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys!
I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
For Gmail:
Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your Password
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Mailbox Name: Whatever you like
Mailbox Type: IMAP4
Security (ports): SSL/TLS
Port: Default
Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
User name: Again enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'

What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
Retrieval Settings:
E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.

TS1843 Not receiving apple mail. Connection Doctor says not connected to server. Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

My NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL emails get deleted at random

At least twice in the last week, all of my NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL files were deleted. Some of these are very important files. I cannot work with a system that deletes my files, so that needs to be fixed. Also, I'd like to have ny deleted files restored.

Firefox doesn't even do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

Very many thanks Niel. My problem solved in less than five minutes. I've never had to use that command before. I found the folder and copied it - but I'm still no clearer as to where it was!
Thanks again

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you have an internet connection and that you are using the correct iTunes store location setting.
Try restarting the router.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
