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 you

quit 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.

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-DROID-2-by-Motorola/Droid-Bionic-text-messages-going-to-wrong-people/td-p/733318

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

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.

Almost all incoming emails going to junk folder

I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now with very few glitches. However, suddenly, it is putting almost all my incoming emails into the junk folder. I believe my junk settings are appropriately set. I have attached a screen shot of them. What I am doing wrong?

Just to verify that its TB and not the server that moves the mail into junk, change destination of your junk to a local junk-folder.
Then also disable adaptive junk mail control temporarily. To see if this is causing it.

Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

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.

Importing to AE files - goes to wrong folder

I looked in the AE FAQ, didn't see the answer to my question, so here goes.
I am using AE with editing video, meaning I only use AE for some basic things. This is one of those times where my lack of knowledge is driving me mad.
When I went to import a clip, AE directs me to a folder from an old project. This happened once before, and I fixed it, but can't remember what I did. Any help would be appreciated, as I hate navigating around to a new folder all the time. I am obviously doing something wrong with the preference, workflow, or both.
Cheers,
Douglas

You're doing nothing wrong. AE will remember your new folder after you have quit and re-launched it. Ages old design flaw in the way it handles this...

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.

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".

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.

Incoming mail going into Drafts folder

I don't have any mail rules set. I get hundreds of emails a day all going to my Inbox (or Junk). Mail from one particular sender goes into my Drafts folder so I usually miss it. How can I stop this?

Mail>Preferences>Junk Mail
Uncheck the 2 boxes marked below.

Mail Messages Going To Drafts Folder

Almost every mail message I compose - both new messages and replies - are showing up in the Drafts folder. These seem to be identical to messages after they are sent and appearing in the Sent folder. I'm not saving them at any time, so why would these messages go to "Drafts"?
Thanks,
JD

While indeed unchecking this option stops the behavior, it's not the best of solutions. The options to save drafts on server is available with any decent IMAP program, and generally is very beneficial. Say I start a message on my Mac, and then have to leave before it's done. If it's saved to the server, I can then pick this message up later on my iPhone or iPad and complete it and send it. Or I can start it on an iOS device, have it save to the server from there, and then pick it up on my Mac later to complete.
So, the functionality of "Save drafts on server" is widely known amongst IMAP clients, and it would be nice if Apple Mail would simply replace a previous draft of a particular message with the latest version rather than piling up multiple versions of the email. Also, it's customary that when you eventually send the message, the drafts also disappear.
It would also help if there was a way to increase the auto-save time to a longer setting so that they don't pile up so fast.

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. It will gather information from your computer to allow others to look and analyze what you have that could be causing issues.
