Incoming messages going straight to trash
Suddenly my Incoming email messages are going straight to the trash. I start my computer. I have nothing in the inbox it is completely empty. If I click on sent, those messages remain and if I click on trash all my new messages and anything that was previously in my inbox is now there. I drag them to the inbox, but I do not want to have to keep doing this every morning. I am running OS 10.6.8 on an iMac. I have Mail 4.6 After reading some online stuff, I tried repairing permissions after safe reboot. I deleted User/Your UserName/Library/Mail/Enveope.index and rebooted, but did not work. Clicked on inbox and selected rebuild also did not work. I have no rules set up, but the apple default which I unchecked as well. Our email did switch from a POP to an IMAP, but this did not start happening until a few weeks after that change occured. First few weeks after the change no problems so I am not sure if it is related. The old POP account is still listed there, but it has not received anything since the day of the switch. I am going to delete that and see if that helps. Any other ideas?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Incoming messages going directly to trash
Hi all
i have been having nothing but trouble with my BTinternet account since the wwekend. My original password was not recognised so had to generate a new one, then when FINALLy managing to get my email on my mobile devices ALL my incoming messages are going directly to my trash box.
this is obviously a pain as i have to keep checking trash to see whats come in. My mobile devices are an Iphone 5s and an Ipad mini.
any help would be appreciated, I have just re set-up my email on my Iphone as per the help page
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46673/c/346
but it is still doing it
Krysanyone help please....

The emails will go to `trash' on Ipad or Iphone or deleted on my PC in outlook

New mail now goes straight to trash!
I've been using Mac Mail and .mac, mobileme and icloud for years. This past week (or more?) some/most but not all icloud mail seems to go straight to trash unread rather than inbox. This even happened (and alerted me to a problem) when I was looking out for mail while on the phone to sender, who eventually had to send it to me at gmail instead when we got tired of waiting for it to arrive. Otherwise I would not have investigated and found several pieces of missing recent mail!
Not all mail goes to trash, but I can't see any pattern; for instance, one mail (received) asked for feedback on a previous item (not received). This inconsistency is scary because you don't know what you might be missing without continually checking trash. Tempted to abandon icloud mail for the time being?
I have checked and confirmed that I have not changed any mail preference settings (behaviours and rules). This 'missing mail' phenomenon has been consistent across my mac (OSX-ML) and IOS6 devices.
Help?Thanks so much for trying to help. I really appreciate it.
Yes, the list of folders appears to all be correct.
Trash says: move deleted to trash (check), store deleted on server (check) & perm erase when 1 month old.
All accounts have the same setting, except the pop but it is very close and it's not the one with the problem. -
Why aren't all incoming messages going to Gmail- Inbox, but they're in All Mail?
Sorry if this has been answered, I haven't seen a suitable answer anywhere.
I have lots of incoming emails I can only view in the All Mail folder nested under Gmail, but they never showed up in Inbox. Is there a reason or setting new emails are only seen in All Mail but not Inbox? How can I fix this?
I'm using the newest TB, don't know anything about imap/pop settings. I really appreciate any info you can provide, thanks!First thing I'd check are the filters for that account. Both in T-bird and on gmail itself. Tools > Message Filters
Next, I'd check to see where they actually are. Open (click on) your "All Mail" folder > Right click the column header > Check "Location" (see image). This will add a column that indicates the folder(s) in which your messages are located.
Once you check these 2 things we can go from there. Screenshots may help http://www.worldtruth.org/document/69/screenshot-how-to/
T-bird will usually use the correct IMAP/POP settings automatically using the Mozilla data-base. -
Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer to solve the above issue with Mac mail on my wifes' MacBook.
Michael StrykerHi:
I should also mention thatthe issue is with Mac Mail, which is where the messages are being forwarded to from the 3rd party email account.,......sorry for any confusion.
This is a problem that cropped up recently, i.e., previous to the past couple of weeks, she had no issues with trashing email.
Thanks,

Incoming messages going to wrong folder
I have no rules set for mail and I have messages that should be in my inbox automatically showing up in another folder. I think I previously had a rule set but have deleted all of my rules and the problem persists. Does anyone know of other settings I need to check?
Thank youquit Mail go to the folder home directory/library/mail and delete the files MessageRules.plist and
MessageRules.plist.backup
start Mail and it ought to behave now. -

Why does incoming mail go into the trash on my iPad?
Incoming mail goes into the trash and not into the In box on my iPad. What needs to be changed, as these incoming emails have not been read. Why do they go into the trash?
sometimes when I register with some app or website, they send me a email. They sometimes say look in you trash or spam folder. you might just have to read them from there

For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??
Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4. -
when my phone rings it goes straight to please wait while your party is reached. how do i get rid of that message?
do you mean like when someone calls you, that's what they hear? if that's the case, it may be a ringback tone or feature. i've heard the message that you are describing a few times when i have called people (as opposed to hearing the ringing sound), but i honestly don't know much about it. all i can figure is that it's a "ringback" tone or feature.

Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.
Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working. -
When people try to call me my iPhone6 goes straight to voicemail when I'm not on a call. People get the "I'm on another call" message, is this an easy problem to fix ?
Contact your wireless carrier and ask them.

Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5. I'm not technically minded and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle. I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off. Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out, I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired. I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support, have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins' and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion, so I've given that up as a bad job!! Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please? Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.
My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
This is entirely a carrier issue. If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.

I want to have a replication of Opera mail feature. This feature enables you to aggregate all mail items from across all the e-mail accounts into a single virtual aggregated view.
That is, say, we have 3 different mail accounts. In Mozilla Thunderbird on a daily basis I check if there is something new in the incoming folder for those accs. To do that I click on the corresponding folder for every account. Now, what i want is to click on a single folder where I would have an aggregated virtual view of the incoming folder for all of those 3 accounts. I guess, same thing can be done with different kinds of mails, such as:
* Unread messages (after having viewed the mail item, it automatically goes straight into "Sent messages" aggregate view, listed below)
* Read messages
* Sent messages
* Spam messages
* Drafts, etc
Also there is this cool feature (virtual thing applies here as well) that helps to have a view of all the attachments across all accounts categorized into different descriptions, such as:
* docs (xls, doc, ppt, etc)
* images (jpg, png, etc)
* archives (zip, rar, etc)
More then that, it would still be better to have labling aggregation view feature across all acounts. That is, if we have marked important several messages in, say, 2 accounts, those should be seen in a single aggregated virtual view under name, say, "Important messages". Same can be said with flags, todos, etc.Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox. Imap mail accounts cannot.
However, there are various 'views' in Thunderbird. I would suggest you try 'Unified'. This creates a visual Inbox containing all Inbox messages with sub folders showing individual Inboxes, so you can still see them separately if required.
via Menu Bar;
View > Folders > Unified
Via Menu icon
Menu Icon > Folders > Unified.
This view would show all the 'Important' tagged emails, so you could them sort by Tag. -
I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?
Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!
