  • Since upgrading to Mountain King my email saved folders have disappeared, which has brassed me off!! any ideas?, Since upgrading to Mountain King my email saved folders have disappeared, which has brassed me off!! any ideas?

    Since upgrading to Mountain King my email folders have disappeared - any ideas how I can get them back?!!

    Look along the left hand side of your Mail app.  That side pane has headings like Inbox, Sent, Trash as atandard,  There are also headings that say "Smart Mailboxes" and "On my Mac".  The On my Mac heading should contain the saved mail folders you had.  This keeps the mail you save on your computer. 
    If you find that heading, click on it and see the word "show" to the right. If you see it, click on the Show word and it should reveal your saved folders.

  • I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

    I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
    Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

    I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

    Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

  • Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    hi eric. many thanks.
    i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
    so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
    i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
    does that question make sense?
    i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

  • My home envirornment is an older Mini Mac running 10.5.8 with a PowerPC G4 processor ( I know, it's old). I also use an iPhone 3S, accessing my mac mail account.  Do I have to upgrade my computer to a faster processor to use iCloud?

    Hello,
    You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
    You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

  • Migration Thunderbird (PC) to Mac Mail (OS X) : merged folders

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to migrate my emails from Thunderbird (PC) to Mac Mail. I have multiple accounts in Thunderbird in separate forlders.
    I copied the thunderbird profile folder from my old PC  and imported the emails to Mac Mail, unfortunately the different folders and email adresses have merged. How can I import my emails with the same organisation?
    Thanx

  • If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?

    If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?
    Will it cease to work on 30 June, and if so do I have to buy leapord and then lion, updgrade and re-sync/lose a number of things?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, if you do not migrate from your MobileMe account to iCloud you will lose access to all your services after June 30, 2012.
    Lion (10.7.2 or better) is required for iCloud. If you have a MobileMe account Apple are giving you Snow Leopard free of charge, this will install the App Store on your computer from where you will be able to purchase and upgrade to lion.

  • Only In Box is visible - all other folders have disappeared.

    All of my sub-folders have disappeared from Thunderbird. The only visible folder is the In Box. None of my sub-folders, Sent Items, Trash etc. are listed beneath it. It is as though the folder pane has been turned off. They are not hidden on the far side of the window either - tried that. I have 'All folders' checked under View/Folders- not sure what else to do. I use Thunderbird to run my gmail account and so logged into my Gmail account directly and all of my folders are there. How do I change the view so that they come back.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I do have a gmail IMAP account but the In Box is shown as a tab at the top not a folder so there is no folder to right click to Subscribe other folders. When I right-click the In Box tab, the only options are: Close Other Tabs and Recently Closed Tabs.
    The folder pane seems to have disappeared completely. Would really appreciate a reply if you can solve this!

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Mail is asking for all my mail account passwords. They should all be in my keychain. Any suggestions?

    Mail is asking for all my mail account passwords. They should all be in my keychain. Any suggestions? (I have over 50)

    Hi ...
    50 ??
    Open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
    From the Keychain Access menu bar top of your screen click Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid
    Click Verify > Start. if necessary click Repair.
    You may need to enter your admin password to proceed.
    And, from the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
    Go through each mail account to make sure the password is typed in on the right.

    I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.
