Inbox empty yet emails are in my mail folder.

My inbox is empty, just a white blank space, even though the blue numbers say there are emails.
When I navigate to the mail folder I see all the emails there as little files so they are there. I rebuild the mailbox but no luck.
Btw, I did not upgrade, migrate or anything like that.

Turned out that even though 2 mailboxes in the mail interface had different names they ended up with the same name (inbox) on the HD and thus confused the crap out of mail. Got it sorted but it did confirm my right choice of switching to Thunderbird

In my 16 gb iPhone 5, Mail has used up 5,6 gbs of memory. Trash is empty and there are a few mails in my accounts with no attachments. What's wrong?

In my 16 gb iPhone 5, Mail has used up 5,6 gbs of memory (and is increasing). Trash is empty and there are a few mails in my accounts with no attachments. What's wrong?

These are Apple's tips on this:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

I am new to MAC and while working in Mail I inadvertently deleted my entire Inbox. All emails are now parked in the Trash bin and I would like to transfer them back to the Inbox can someone tell me how?

I am new to MAC and while working in Mail I inadvertently deleted my enitre Inbox. All emails from Inbox are now parked in the Trash bin and I want to restore them to the Inbox does anyone know how to do this?

More tedious but more inuitive, you can select each email or a group of emails and drag and drop them wherever you want, including Inbox.

Does it make sense to mark an email messages that are in junk mail folder as junk

Hello,
I see that some of email messages that are in my junk mail folder are in different color and marked as junk. However, some emails in the folder are not marked as junk. Most of these unmarked emails are put there because of my rules. The question is: does it make sense to mark these messages (in junk email folder) as spam/junk manualy? Will email spam detection engine learn somethig from it?

If the messages are really junk, then mark them as junk. That will help Mail detect similar messages as junk, even if your rules miss them.
If the messages are not junk, but you have set rules to junk them for some other reason, don't mark them as junk. If you do mark them, you may start missing other messages.

Inbox empty, all emails in bin before they're even read

Set up email last night and everything was fine. Turned it on today an no emails in my inbox. Check settings, all fine, check other folders and they're all in my bin.
I can sync and a email comes into my inbox, when it syncs again it moves into my bin without even being read.
I've tried searching the internet for a solution, read pages of forum, gone through all my settings. Very frustrating.
Can anyone tell me how to stop my emails automatically going into my bin.
Thanks

Under Account Settings on the Virgin email account, do you have Sync server to device set to ON? With this set any email that is deleted on any other device or computer would be deleted from this device also. I would also make sure that Sync delete email is set to OFF to prevent all other email from being deleted from the server when this problem occurs.
This could also be something on the Virgin server settings that need to be corrected where the email are being marked as read when they arrive. You may also want to increase the Sync Criteria, Show Email time from 2 weeks to 1 month.

Duplicate emails in Junk E-Mail folder when running multiple Outlook clients

Has anyone experienced problems when running multiple Outlook clients - and a junk e-mail is received?
We are seeing that when a user is running 3 Outlook clients (2007/2010) - and they received a junk email - Outlook seems to take that email and movie to the folder. However, with 3 clients, there end up being 3 copies of the email.
Mail clients are Outlook 2007/2010 running in native Exchange mode (no IMAP, POP, etc). Server is Exchange 2010 SP1, RU2.
Antivirus is McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i - but we believe that the problem occurs even with it disabled.

hi, we also faced the same issue.
we had a common mailbox that is accessed from different workstations, and the outlook profile is set to cached mode. when a junk mail is received, it will create duplicates according to the number of outlook clients, as what jbuschmann mentioned. Is this
a known issue in outlook 2010? Understand there's a fix for outlook 2003 for a similar issue, is there a similar fix for outlook 2010? thanks!

Can't search emails after creating encrypted mail folder

Using Disk Utility I created an encrypted folder for my Library/Mail folder. I created the folder with a password, then created an alias for it which I stuck in the Library folder to act as my new 'Mail' folder. So now when I open up Apple Mail, I'm asked for a password so that I can start reading emails. Great, works fine. But now I can't use the search tool to find emails according to various key words. Anyone know how I can get this feature working again?

I've had trouble with JavaMail starting on July 21st. I've used the same code for months, but all of a sudden, I can't delete messages from Gmail using the DELETED flag. I open the folder as READ_WRITE, grab the messages from the folder, set the DELETED flag, double check to make sure the DELETED flag was set, then close the folder (setting EXPUNGE to TRUE). Nothing happens. No exception is thrown or message is given, and no messages get deleted from the inbox (they just remain sitting there). I've tried calling the EXPUNGE method manually after setting the DELETED flag, but then it complained that the underlying implementation could not execute the method because the message was READ ONLY!!! I'm out of ideas. I've posted on Google's forums, but every other .NET and command terminal commands seem to still be working. I'm wondering if Gmail altered their configuration to become more compliant with the IMAP protocol, and JavaMail (or its underlying implementation) is still not 100% compliant?
Thanks for your consideration.

My yahoo and work emails are going into same folder - how do i stop

i just set up my enterprise email and my yahoo was going into the main "folder" on my bb prior to setting up my work/enterprise email. i still have the yahoo icon/folder as well. how do i change it to only have my work/enterprise emails go into the main mail folder/icon and my yahoo to just go to the yahoo icon? thanks so much!

HI,
Officially, You cant.
BES emails ALWAYS go into the Messages icon.
All messages go into the Messages icon.
You can get third party applications to create a seperate BES email icon, or you can get the BES to push an icon (if you BES has the ability/mods).
But you will always have the Messages icon with ALL messages.
Sorry.
I dont know the other third party places, but Im sure someone else can assist
(I think one place may be called Empower? A google search maybe?).

Microsoft Exchange: Iphone inbox empties when messages are loaded onto PC

Hello,
I've got an IPhone 3Gs with the latest OS, and have successfully sync'ed with my Microsoft Exchange Server. When new emails arrive in my account, they are shown on my IPhone. Sounds good, right?
It would be perfect except for the (feature?) fact that as soon as I turn on my computer and open Outlook (thus syncing my computer with the same Exchange Server), the Inbox on my IPhone empties completely. The emails in Outlook that I've read on the IPhone are still marked as unread, and (biggest problem) the IPhone no longer has any mails in the inbox.
Is this issue known?

Okay, I found the answer to my own question, problem solved!
for those of you with similar symptoms: my Outlook was set up to use POP/IMAP communication with the exchange server instead of 'Exchange', so everytime it sync'ed, it would remove the emails from the Exchange server, which is why they were removed from my IPhone.
It was a configuration issue on Outlook, not on the IPhone.

Printing emails from a mac mail folder

hi,
I have many folders under my inbox in MacMail. Each of those folders represents a client. I need to individually print the content of those folders as pdf's so I can save them to a DVD for storing in my actual paper file for my offc. I've gone round and round thru Google, Apple 911, etc etc and I'm at a loss! Even the gal at Apple Care couldn't help.
Does anyone out there have a way to do this? Its so simple to do on Outlook for PC and Adobe Pro but not for Mac?
I have OS Mountain Lion and the latest Apple Mail. I also have Adobe Pro for Mac
Please help!

Thanks Beat. As you suggested, I moved the files in the problem folder over to a new folder, and then deleted the old folder. Problem solved

Some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is left on the POP server

Hi All,
I have a weird problem where some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is not.
If I log into our ISP's webmail system, there are a whole bunch of emails that are just sitting there. These emails have not ever been downloaded to Mail.
I've tried to create a duplicate account, but Mail doesn't allow the same username & password in more than one account, which is kind of frustrating - I get an error stating that these user details are already in use.
Our ISP says it's the client machine, as no one else in the office is having this issue.
The connection doctor can connect to the servers and 30 or 40 emails are downloaded to Mail each day - just some emails don't.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
OSX 10.4.6
Mail 2.0.7
Any help would be much appreciated.
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

Assuming the account is a POP type account, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
If successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any messages available on the server not yet downloaded by Mail.
The reason you cannot create two accounts in Mail with the same user name and incoming mail server is based on the account and associated mailbox filing structure within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account.
In addition, if this were possible I don't think it would resolve much by having identical accounts created in Mail with both accounts checking the incoming mail server at the same time.

Hi,
Which type of email account are you using? Do you have the email account sync to any mobile device? If so, please check the junk email option on the mobile device. You can also try to disable the sync in the mobile device and then check the issue again.
Please let me know the result.
