Incoming mail going to archive folder instead of inbox

after registering my macbook pro 2.4ghz core 2 duo running mavericks 10.9.1 for the app "messages", i've noticed emails addressed to my .mac account no longer go to my inbox on this computer, they land in the "archive" folder.
any idea what happened and how i can fix this?
thanks in advance.

Your slow computer could be caused by a number of problems such as memory, hardware, or software issues. It isn't related to the problem you had with Mail.
First, I suggest you open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot volume. Then verify if the hard drive is OK, or does it show problems.
Restart the computer and see if you still have problems.
If so, I would just advise you to post a new discussion describing this problem so others with better knowledge could help you to figure out the problem.
Search google or these discussions on Slow Computer with Yosemite. There are many discussions on this already. You might also look into downloading EtreCheck and providing that information in your post.

  • Incoming mail going to trash folder instead of inbox

    About 20% of my new emails are deposited in the trash folder instead of my inbox.
    How can I prevent this?

  • Incoming emails going to junk folder instead of inbox

    i I have an iPad and every time my sister emails me it goes into the junk folder instead of the inbox. Is there a setting I need to change?

    Just move the message back to your inbox and her emails won't appear in "Junk" anymore. You probably confused "Trash" with "Junk".

  • Incoming mail going to Archive, not Inbox

    On Dec, 2 I submitted this question:
    Dec 2, 2013 6:12 AM 
    My incoming mail now goes to the archive file instead of the inbox file. I have changed nothing and it still shows up in the inbox but allnew notifications go to the archive file. I am using OSX 10.9  Any ideas hoiw to fix this?
    iMac, OS X Mountain Lion 
    It was suggested to delete the account and then add it anew. That seemed to work fine, but two weeks later it all began again. All the incoming mail goes to an Archive folder and no new notifications are shown in the new mail accopunt? I hate to have to delete and reopen the accoiunt every few weeks.
    Any ideas? I see the same issue on other discussions but no explanations?

    What email program are you using?

  • HT202303 incomming mail goes to threat folder

    can somebody help me find the treat Folter in my email Acount

    I think its nothing to do with java mail api, it the mail service provider which filter the incoming mail and thinks that it is a junk mail adding it to the bulk folder. If you can open the email and mark the email through which u are sending mails as not junk, then the future email throug this address will be delivered into inbox.

  • E-mail going into trash folder instead of the normal destination

    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello James.
    You should ask your email service provider for support. Firefox rarely has any kind of influence over this matters.

  • Incoming mail goes to wrong mailbox

    I recently created a rule in Mail to send all messages from a certain address to a specific mailbox. Trouble is, now about 50% of ALL my mail goes to that mailbox (instead of the Inbox), even if it doesn't come from the address specified in the rule.
    What do I need to do to make sure that incoming messages not otherwise directed by one of my rules all end up in my Inbox?

    It sounds like an error in the mail rule.  Pay particular attention to the Any or All criteria.

  • Mail goes to BULK folder , how to send it to the INBOX folder

    When I try to send mail throgh the java mail concept it is going to the bulk folder , my requirment is to send the mail to the inbox , is anything i have to set to send the mail to the inbox.

  • Mail going to spam folder

    All of my incoming mail keeps going into a spam folder. I've deleted the folder and relaunched mail and the folder returns.

    Select the mail and mark it as 'Not Junk' deleting the folder won't work.
    If this is GMail, attend to the issue on the website.

  • Mail Going to Junk Folder that is Not Junk

    I have mail that is going to my junk folder that is not junk.  When I look at the "thumb" symbol for the mail, the thumb is down, meaning that it doesn't think it is junk either.  Even when I turn my "Enable Junk Mail Filtering" off in Preferences, the mail still goes to junk.  No idea how to fix this.  It seems like a glitch!

    Thank you Nubz N. and BobHarris for your feedback on the issue.  I had actually already tried resetting my junk settings in Apple Mail and had no success, and trust me BobHarris, I was not using the Junk key as the delete key.
    It turned out that I had to go directly to the email source's website, which in this case was Gmail, and change my junk settings there.  Apple Mail was perceiving the incoming mail as "Not Junk", but because Gmail was viewing it as junk, it was still going to my Apple Mail junk folder.  I'm not sure why Gmail was viewing it as junk, as I had never clicked junk before.  Anyway, after changing the junk settings there at Gmail, the filter has now been working properly again.

  • Mail app missing "Archive" folder in sidebar for iCloud account.

    This seems like it should be an easy fix but, it's not. I've been trying all day. Basically, the sidebar in the mail app now only provides Inbox, Sent, (VIP if set up) Junk and Trash. It used to also have three other folders. (Drafts, Archive and Flagged) Now, I am able to view Inbox, VIP's, Sent, Drafts and Flagged by the drop-down menu right above "MAILBOXES". But neither on the drop-down menu or the sidebar is the "Archive" folder located. If I want to archive a message I certainly can by clicking the "Archive" button in the top toolbar. But, the whole folder used to be in the sidebar where I can view "saved" messages just like I would on my iPhone.
    I have found a way to put it back temporarily but if I quit the mail app, the folder goes missing again. These are the steps I have done to put it back in the sidebar.
    Original image when app is opened: No "Archive" folder.
    I click the gear on bottom left of app. And then I clicked "Get Account Info".
    This new window opens up and give me options. And so I clicked "Archive" and then "Show Messages".
    After doing that I noticed that the "Archive" folder is now back where I have always seen it. And, I can view all messages I've saved there whether it be from the mail app, my iPhone or iCloud on the web.
    If I quit the application I have to start all over again to retrieve the folder. Although it's not a long process it can be annoying and for some reason it opens two full windows of the app.
    I am only asking about this for iCloud e-mail not Gmail or Yahoo! etc.
    Why is the folder not there anymore? How can it be placed permanently again?
    I can import it but anytime I move a message to the imported "Archive" folder it's only saving desktops messages and not all that possess iCloud.
    The simple question is how to keep that "Archive" folder in the sidebar, as it is pictured in the last picture, the way it used to be, all the time.
    -Randy

    I had the same problem today with (Mavericks) Mail and was able to fix this easily:
    In the search bar, look up some email which is in the archive. In the upper right corner of this email you find two links: "details" and "archive ..". klick on that "archive". it will place the archive folder back in the sidebar permanently.

  • TS3899 Mail going to wrong folder

    I have contact emails in my phone that are sending to my junk mail folder instead of my inbox.  One contact is even marked as VIP.  Can you help with this?

    Jeff:
    I have gotten hostname as you suggested, and thus far seen one Helo failure prior to that, so thanks for the tip.
    The queue is running like 150k to 170k, I've got content filter off right in order to isolate problems.
    This wrong account issue is causing some severe creditability issues with this server as you can imagine.
    Thanks for the help.
