Importing messages after resetting inbox

I had the typical problem with the messages in my inbox coming back as "not downloaded from server" after scrolling through the discussions i learned that the mailbox was possibly corrupted due to size (and seemingly from the upgrade to Tiger, as it worked fine in Panther) My mail is working fine now, but i am wondering how to import some of the old messages back as i still need access to them? Any information would be great.
thanks

i use memory card to save messagers in my 5800 . . But i am unable to back up orphmsgs from memory card . . . i want to format my card so i want to back up the text messages . . I think they are stored in 'private' folder . . I tried to copy that folder in to my pc but that too failed . . The properties of the folder private in the memory card shows more than 90 gb . . Card itself is of 8 gb ? Any solution to back up msgs before formatting the memory card

Mail not importing messages after upgrade to tiger

I've just upgraded to Tiger. Everything is working well, except mail. The initial process of importing messages goes on forever! I left it running overnight, and it still was not done. I have tried cancelling and restarting. I have also restarted the machine several times. It looks like the process is just stalling. i do have over 2000 messages in my mailbox, but even so, 8+ hours seems excesive.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

[5800] Importing messages after backup failed

Before installing the new firmware on my 5800, I backupped everything by using the backup function in the filemanager. I also did a hard reset. I started importing all of the settings and files from my backup, and it looked like it all worked. But when I look to the inbox of my messages, it's empty. I'm trying to import only the messages, but it still doesn't work.
Why isn't he importing my messages? And is it possible to get it all back, maybe by doing it another way.

Mail fails to import messages after 10.8.5 update

After the update Mail fails to import my messages and then quits.
First screen says: Welcome to Mail. To use the new features your existing Mail messages need to be imported....
Then when I click continue it says: The import failed. An error occurred during the import. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again.
I run mail from inside the container (MacOS folder) and here's what it reads:
Last login: Mon Oct 21 22:39:50 on ttys001
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail ; exit;

I have already reinstalled combo 10.8.5
I have already booted on recovery console and repaired permissions
I have already installed the Supplemental update 10.8.5
I have created another standard user and inside this new account Mail will work perfectly.
Nothing worked so far. Cherry on the cake : I have a message saying I have a recall on my MBAir SSD drive.
Please advise on how to solve this issue !
Cheers,
ZChef

Intermediate answer: The app launched correctly and the import process has started.
It is taking ages though. Over 3 hours for around 30K messages.
The message count sometimes gets stuck for 20-30 minutes or so and then starts counting again...
There are ~5K messages left to be imported. I'll let you know if it goes ok.
Stay tuned for the next and hopefully last episode.

Photos not imported message after opening iPhoto 08

Has anyone ever experienced following Problem:
Everytime I open iPhoto it appears this error message: "9 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?". If I choose yes, iPhoto shuts down after a short while. If I choose no, it works, but everytime I do so, one foto is added to the fotos left to import.
How do I get rid of this fotos?

alterkram
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right click on it and choose 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window opens with your library inside. You should see a folder there called 'Importing' or perhaps 'Last Import' (NOT Auto Import). In side will be the offending files. Drag that folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. Does it work normally?
Regards

Hotmail keeps downloading message after reset

Ive had to reset my iphone for a few reasons and since the reset hotmail keeps downloading messages that Ive already read. I have over 3000 messages in my hotmail account....is there a way to stop it from downloading messages I have already read...
thanks...

Hotmail uses POP. Pop is a very old protocol that has limitations.
When you download a message, the mail app actually has to sort of save off to a file index information that it has downloaded the message so it won't again since there really isn't syncing like there is in the IMAP or Exchange protocol.
Thus when you reset, the phone has no idea you got the message before so it will download again. This would happen on your computer to if you were checking a POP account with some type of mail app.
Since Hotmail doesn't allow IMAP and you are stuck with POP there isn't much you can do other than clean up your hotmail inbox on the server.

Import messages after new features are installed

I try to open Mail and get the following message:
To use the new features in mail, your existing Mail messages need to be imported into the mew version the first time you use mail. This make a few minutes you won't be able to use mail until the import is finished.
when I click continue, the preparing to import screen comes up and stays there I thought it just may take some time so I left it all day 12 hours later it still has not moved
I use Yahoo Premium
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem, after a migration from a time machine backup. It's just sitting there "preparing for import."
Did you ever get this solved?

Mail stops importing messages after 32 messages - HELP

Everytime I try and get my mail it downloads the messgaes but when it gets to the magic 32nd email it gets hung up. I veen deleted the suspicious email on the server and still when it gets to 32 it gets stuck. I tried entourage and it gets the messages no problem. Should I reinstall mail? if so how or any other suggestions (Cache etc)

This is a problem for which I've yet not found a solution when it happens. Another user recently reported being able to solve it by deleting some caches. Problem is, I have no idea what caches could have a bearing on this. If you want to try that, take a look at the following article:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
and be sure to read this in particular:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
In addition to the utilities mentioned there, you may also consider OnyX or Cache Out X, which are free.
Rather than blindly deleting every cache from your system, I encourage you to be somewhat selective, in order to be able to find out which cache could be involved in the problem, if any. Note that no applications other than the cache-cleaning utility should be running during the cache-cleaning operation, and that you should restart after each attempt before checking whether it makes a difference. Please, post back with your observations.

Problem importing messages after Envelope Index got damaged.

Envelope index crashed and I took it out to have a new file created.
Everything went smooth until file number 11766 was reached.
There the import grinded to a halt.
I removed the folder that contained the corrupted file (Sent items) and imported everything else.
Worked fine.
The problem now is how to import the folder containing the corrupt file.
I tried the import option and that performs the import but actually imports some other mbox folder I didn't even select.
Any suggestions on how to proceed.
TIA
Hans

I followed the common suggestion of deleting "Envelope Index" files to speed up mail
That's not a way to speed up Mail.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click 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. Post your results.
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 (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.

Mail won't import messages to inbox after envelope file moved to desktop

I had some kind of problem with a HD backup that cause my mac pro quad to lapse into beach ball mode. I had to restart and found my mail app had problems. All messages in other mailboxes are ok, sent items are ok, but inbox has lost messages. The messages are viewable from pop mailbox folder (in library). I moved envelope file to desktop and tried importing messages, but received a sql error notification and only very old message appeared. I backed up my mail folder before this procedure, and I have a copy of the same account on my laptop. So I have the messages, but can't seem to get them back into the mail program on the mac pro (running latest version of 10.4 osx).thx ra

after running the command the mac supplied me with this wonderful response. Hope it means something to you..thx ra

Lost my messages after update, but I see them in profile INBOX file. How to restore?

After one of the latest TB updates the option "Never delete messages" (translating from RUssian, dont how how in original) in the "Sync and store" section of profile options had been set to "Delete all except for last 200". Nobody changed that settings.
All my messages except for last 200 had been deleted from the inbox folder and mail server.
I see my messages in INBOX file ib the TB profile. But I cant restore it.
How can I restore by messages from INBOX file?

I have a similar problem. One day last month when I turned my computer on, I found a screen telling me that Windows was 'repairing the disc'. I let it get on with it, but later discovered two things: first, that the computer no longer allowed me to set Firefox as my default browser - each time I opened Firefox, it asked me if I wished to set it as default, but clicking the button produced no response; second, when I opened Thunderbird I found that all of the (many!) messages in my Inbox prior to that date had disappeared.
I explored my profile, just as Timerlan had done, and found two things.
First, the profile name has a second stop between the random string of characters and the word 'default', so it reads as '.*./********'''..'''default'. If I right click 'rename' and remove the extra stop, Thunderbird will not open; I get an error message telling me that 'Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible'.
Second, if I open the profile and then click 'Mail' I see six folders: local folders, local folders.sbd, pop3.blueyonder.co.uk, pop 3.blueyonder.co-1.uk, pop 3.virgin media.com and smart mailboxes.
Local Folders has all the folders and subfolders that I've created to store messages I wish to keep; these folders and their contained messages open up normally when I open Thunderbird - thank goodness! blueyonder.co.uk is my email address and was the name my ISP formerly used for its server; the ~-1 variant dates, I believe, from the time that my hard drive failed and the computer shop had some difficulty restoring my data; and pop3. virginmedia.com is the address of the server that the ISP now uses, and as such is shown in my Thunderbird settings.
When I open these pop3 folders, I find that each of them has an inbox.mozmsgs folder. The blueyonder.co.uk one has a few dozen messages; the one in in the ~-1 folder is empty; and the one in the virginmedia.com folder has a large number of messages, which would seem to be the ones that have disappeared and that I wish to retrieve, and obviously the next step is to try Told-Hall's suggestion to see if I can import those messages.
However, when I try to first back up my profile as he recommends by using MozBackup , I get a message saying that the profile is corrupted (which figures!) and the process is terminated.
Would it be sufficient to use the copy/paste procedure to save the profile elsewhere before attempting this procedure?

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches. I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow. Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
How can I clear this up?
I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
"Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'. The required folder cannot be found."
CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

I have the same problem. I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'. I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in. I have seen no fix for this problem.
