Inbox losing emails

Hope someone can help! My inbox on my Macbook is losing emails. It seems that there is some sort of quota set for the size of the inbox, and it is automatically removing older messages as new ones come in. Yesterday I had 158 messages, today it is down to 148. I have checked all account settings and cannot see anywhere I can change the settings for the inbox, only for sent items and trash. As I run part of my business from this laptop, its a bit of a problem! I need to find the stream of emails which have been removed, but even searching for them by name in spotlight has not come up with anything, at the moment it has cleared all messages that are over 7 days old. The same account down loads to our desktop which is not losing the emails?? 

I have the exact same problem, older emails are disappearing.
I then have to log on to my bigpond mail to find them.
They are all there still.
I dont understand, why are they all in my bigpond mail server, but not in my mail on my macbook pro ?
Please help
Whoops. sorry I am not answering your question philps but just querying Linc...

  • I keep losing emails from my iPad.. HELP!

    I keep losing emails from my inbox on my iPad.. They seem to disappear on a daily basis. I have an account set up on my iPad, iPhone 4 and iMac. Would that effect the mails on the iPad? Every time I go and check my emails they have just disappeared and I have to check the mails on either my phone or the iMac.. it is sooo frustrating!

    I have had this same issue for about a month.  I have checked every setting on every device but still lose emails randomly.  I use an iPhone 4s, an iPad, and a Dell laptop.  I have them all synced with outlook and everything was working fine in the beginning.  Howevr as of late, I go to refernce emails on my iPhone only to find it missing.  Whe it is missing from iPhone, it is also missing from iPad.  BUT it is still on my laptop.
    This has become very frustrating for me because booting up my laptop to reference an email from yesterday that I actually read on my iPhone takes a looonggg tiimme.
    Please let me know which "settings" I am overlooking because I am getting a bad opinion of Apple.

  • How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you.  In the Terminal, you can type this:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.

  • How do I stop losing emails?

    What do I need to do to stop losing emails?

    Try going into your settings and change the amount of time old emails are kept. Mine did the same same thing but when I visited the website to check they were still there

  • TS3276 When I click on the "Get mail" icon, nothing happens even though I know there is mail. However, if I click on "send" and then go back to the Inbox, the emails start loading. What's going on?

    Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
    Click your Apple menu  top right in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click Software Update.

  • Losing emails in ipad after 2 weeks?

    I am losing emails that I have read, but want to keep for a while after only 2 weeks in one of my email accounts. My other email accounts do not lose them for a year or more. How do I stop this from happening?  It is in my Ipad.

    It should be above delete account.  If not don't worry different mail providers are different. The most important thing is that just because they auto-delete from your iPad they are still in your email account. Also the search field in mailboxes works whether the email is on your iPad  or on your server.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • HT5312 I can't get a rescue email to reset my security questions. I clicked the link but there's no massages in my inbox alternate email. Help please :(

    I can't get a rescue email to reset my security questions. I clicked the link but there's no massages in my inbox alternate email. Help please :(

    You are checking your rescue email account - an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address on an iTunes account. If it's not in the spam nor inbox then you could try requesting it again, or contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • I'm Losing Email

    I keep losing emails. Mail 2.1.1 on iMac (intel). Everytime I come back to my computer, I lose the latest email except the ones earilier than November 29th 2006. They're there at one point and then they are gone. All that remains are the last couple days but then a big blank for the previous two weeks or month. This has happened several times.

    What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

  • Hi there, I seem to be losing emails from my inbox - they just disappear! Is this some sort of a bug or am I doing something wrong? thanks

    I also just reactivated my MS outlook & same thing seems to be happening...does Outlook somehow sync to Thunderbird?
    Please help!

    No/yes
    If its an IMAP account, they both read the same account.
    If its a POP account check that you leave it on server and don't delete after x days.
    Check your account on server as well as on both your clients.

  • IPod touch losing email

    I synced my iPod touch with MacMail 4.6 on my iMac running 10.6.8.  A few of my incoming email messages bypass MacMail and show up only on my iPod touch, so I'm missing important mail at my desk.  How can I reset either MacMail or iPod so all incoming mail shows up in my INBOX?

    To keep from losing purchases you will both need to continue sharing the Apple ID for purchases.
    I would reccommend you both create new Apple IDs for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and keep the current one to share purchases in the iTunes & App Stores.
    Use shared ID here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    Use individual IDs here:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > Game Center

  • Cannot view inbox or email accounts hidden on top of list on iPad

    I can't find a way to fix the settings in mail to allow the list of accounts to scroll down so I can open the inbox. Has this happened to anyone. I can see them 'greyed' out if I hold the scroll withnleft hand and attemptnto touch inbox with right hand but nothing happens. I can open and view other sections like sent fold as normal and compose and send emails. But totally cannot open the inbox. Very frustrating

    I will say answered as I used advice for another mail question and did the reset within iPad and inbox came back. All seems quite random but early days yet I suppose with iPad.
