Items in my mail inbox disappeared.

Items in my mail inbox disappeared. I tried a rebuild but nothing happened. Any suggestions how to get the inbox populated again? Thanks.

I had the same problem and your mail isn't lost forever. It's still sitting on the server in California. Here is what I had to do to get mail back up and running..... I had to go to mail preferences and delete my account and then reset it. It was a bit of a chance but I had already backed up my system before upgrading to 10.5 so I wasn't too concerned. My reset worked beautifully and all of my mail came back up in a matter of seconds. In my case there seemed to be an error in outgoing server recognition and once I reset it all was well. Hope this helps and good luck!

Incoming AOL mail in Mac MAIL Inbox disappears after a week

I´ve setup my AOL e-mail accounts in Mac MAIL. Receiving and sending mail via my AOL accounts works fine, but incoming mail will stay only for one week in the Incoming mail folder of Mac MAIL. After one weeks it disappears from the Incoming mail folder and it´s not longer available in MAIL at all. (I can only access it throught the AOL software or AOL Communicator themself, where it´s archived.). Sent (AOL) mail on the other side is still available in the Sent folder of MAIL. Is there any way to keep/store the Received AOL mail in Mac MAIL?

Hi Padua & JWurzak!
I don't know if this will help, but, in your AOL Preferences > Mail: under Automation, do you have the two options below checked?
Save the mail I read
Save the mail I send
Also, in AOL Preferences > Filing Cabinet: do you have Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet checked, and Never selected, in the contextual menus below?

Apple mail inbox disappears every time I tab back to it

I have two monitors and I hate the new Mail. Mostly because I can't open a window and drag it to the other screen. But my big problem is that I use command tab to move from app to app and every time I tab back to mail, nothing is visible. I have to go to window: inbox. Then I can see the inbox again. Also, it's the only program that when I am on it, the left hand screen goes black. I took "spaces" off, but there must be some other pref on that I don't know about. OS 10.10.2. Mail 8.2 on Mac Pro.

Does the same thing happen with only one display connected?

Most of my emails have disappeared from mail Inbox

Hello, last night my emails in my Mail inbox disappeared. I didn't notice at first because the last 10 days are still there, but then I realised that 4 years of email from 1 Nov 2012 up to 2008 (around 20,000 messages) are gone. There are a few for 2008 and then the rest - I had emails back to 2005 have also disappeared.
I am not aware of having done anything different last night - all I did was check my mail as usual - and it was only when I tried to search for an email that I realised my inbox now contains only 300 emails. When I go to iCloud it is the same story. Only 303 emails in my inbox. Trash only contains a few hundred, so its like these emails all just disappeared into the ether
I have no idea what to do or how this happened or what might have caused it. I run Lion 10.7.4 on an old black Macbook and have not installed anything new or upgraded software. I don't download unusual attachments so doubt it is a virus.
Is there any way to try to recover them - my inbox is my filing system so years of important stuff is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks

Mail.app multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace

Mail.app with multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace
iCould account
gmail account
exchange account
In all accounts, the Inbox contents totally disappeared, gone without a trace. Inbox shows 0MB used for each account. The trash had stuff in it but it didn't have the inbox items. Get Account Info shows all the other folders have items but nothing the side of the inbox. What was werid was my mac was running slow even with an SSD things were crawling. I noticed mail Activity window was processing but thought it standard processing, updating inbox etc.

Well thank goodness for time machine. I was in mail app and clicked on time machine I was able to recover 2 inboxes, one with ~3400 and other with ~1800 messages. However, time machine is now stuck for over 12 hours on 30,682 messages. I was able to go back to a few days ago, it loaded all the messages. I was then able to select all of them (I pressed cmd-a) and in a few hours it was then able to process the select all and show me the restore button much like the other two small mail boxes. But its been stuck at the "Click Restore to recover the 30682 selected messages" screen. The 12+ hours its been busy hammering away at the disk and CPU. From what I can see, it may just be trying to process it all. The previous two smaller restores worked so I'm hoping this one works too.

Gmail emails disappearing from my Mail inbox

Hi,
I use the Mail program to manage my emails on my MacBook Pro (as well as my iPad and iPhone). I recently set up a gmail account and have been having a strange problem. Sometimes after I read a gmail, it disappears from my Mail Inbox folder. I haven't been able to figure out a pattern as it doesn't seem to do it every time. When our IT manager configured my computer for gmail, I ended up with a Gmail folder and two subfolders called "All Mail and one called "Important" on my Mail desktop. I told him I didn't want or need those folders but he couldn't get rid of them. When the gmails disappear from my Mail Inbox, I can always find them in one or both of these Gmail folders. But the problem is I get so many emails I don't always notice that one has disappeared until it is too late! This is causing some significant problems. No one has been able to figure out how to stop these emails from moving on their own. Our IT manager is more familiar with PCs than Macs. I hope you can help!! It's very frustrating!

No. The email never makes it to me. It is on my iPhone for an instant, but then it disappears. It never makes it to my Outlook on my computer, and it is not in the Junk Mail, Deleted Items, or in my Sonic Wall Spam Filter box. There are 4 other people in my office, and I know that at least 2 of them are having the same problem. I can't tell if this is a problem with my iPhone or my Exchange Server. Help!

The reading pane Mail inbox has disappeared; what's the fix?

The reading pane of my Mail "inbox" has disaappeard; what's the fix?

This indicates the account's Inbox mailbox has an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has some corruption.
All email clients have limits and although an "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size, it is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a mailbox approaches or exceeds 1 GB in size for Jaguar/Panther Mail and 2 GB in size for Tiger Mail.
Since an account's Inbox mailbox is usually the most active mailbox, it is not a good idea to use an account's Inbox mailbox as the final storage location for all messages received that are not deleted. You can/should utilize user created "On My Mac" mailboxes to sort received messages by category that you need to save. This can be done by creating rules to automatically sort received messages to user created mailboxes by category or transferring messages manually.
That being said, quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
This should be for the account named folder within the original Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail, not from the backup.
Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, a new (and empty) INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when receiving the next message with this account. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new messages received while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop.
Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
List the package content file names and size of each here.
This information is required to determine the next step to take to recover all messages contained in the mailbox.

BT Yahoo mail emails disappearing every night

Hi,
Every night all the emails in my BT Yahoo Mail inbox are disappearing! I thought nothing of it for a few days due to the email i had received about migrations however after a week i got Yahoo to restore my mailbox to 7 days and then that night all my emails disappeared again!
I have lost lots of important emails and need to get these back HELP!!!!
All mail folders, sent items, deleted items remain unaffected. I am only accessing email via the BT Yahoo webmail interface.

Entrusting your only copies of important data to the competence of a mass market cloud provider such as BT and their partners, is not a strategy I could recommend.
I would urge you to swop to pop3/smtp using an email client such as MSOutlook or open source Thunderbird or similar, and keep your email store on your own machine (and back it up to external media regularly)
The BT email system is not in a good state at the moment and has been like that for a few years now - at least since 2011 with Yahoo, and Critical Path/Openwave don't seem to be doing much better. Basically they cannot be trusted to look after your data, and they aren't even contractually obliged to do so.
As for getting your email back - BT may or may not be able to help you, but you are not the only one to lose mail at the moment. Best of luck.
Personally I have all my BT acounts set to forward any mail immediately to a 3rd party provider, and I moved away from BT for important mail a few years ago because I didn't want to lose important data.

IPad Mail Inbox Puzzle

Suddenly my iPad mail inbox shows 11,497 unread messages -- except that when the inbox is selected there are no messages. When new messages are received they can be opened, read and deleted. Still the inbox shows 11,497 unread messages. Where do I go from here? Operating system is 7.1.2.

This is not the discussion thread for your question but if you can get a copy (hard or .pdf) of your particular iPad manual you should look at re-booting the unit. But first you should close all your open apps. Hit the home button twice quickly the screen will shrink and show open apps to the right of the main page. Swipe UPWARD the apps that are open(to the right of the main page). The open apps will close and disappear and repeat until none are left to the right of the main page. Then follow your main manual to re-boot the iPad. Usually hold the power down top button and the home button at the same time. The screen will go blank and either restart after a minute or so or restart by hitting the top button.
Your manual should indicate how to power down and restart the iPad.
This may work. The same problem happened to me and I think this is how I fixed it.
Other wise go the the Apple Support site and you can work thru the links to find the iPad and its Tech manuals which you can open and read to find trouble shooting and normal use of the unit. Book mark this link. There are iPad SYSTEM menu items that say reset the iPad and I think that may wipe out some remembered WiFi info which you might have to re-enter all that hidden log on and account e-mail account data +password and may not be needed.
Good luck.

I just purchased the new ipad. I set up my email and put show 1000 messages. After a few days my email in my inbox disappears. I have gone thought all the settings. Please help.

Help restore 30684 messages in Apple Mail inbox

I had opened another thread where in I had e-mail accounts two using IMAP and one using exchange 2010. For some strange reason around 12/21/11 all of my inboxes disappeared without a trace. That day mail was being sluggish activiity monitor was busy but I did not realiize realize what it was doing until too late. None of my messages showed up in the trash or deleted messages folder, they all just went straight into a black hole. With the two IMAP mailboxes I was able to do a time machine restore of a backup done on 12/20. These mailboxes only contained a few thousand so it was relatively quick an hour or so each. After the restore I moved the messages from the local recovered folder to the inbox all is happy. When I tried doing the exchange inbox with 30684 it would hang on the restore. I would select the inbox then launch time machine. I would go to the date 12/20/11, the inbox would start a count of the inbox contents ultimately ending up with 30684 messages. I would then do a cmd-a and it would select all 30684 messages and in about 2+ hours the daisy wheel is done selecting and a message would pop up on the lower pane and say something like "click on the restore button to recover 30684 messages." I would then click on the restore button and leave it. I've left it as long as a week and it was just stuck there and I had to force quit mail. I tried that process again and would leave it over night the next morning it would still be stuck at that last screen when I clicked recover but the time machine disk has stopped popping the popcorn. It would be totally stock and only thing I could do was force quit mail. Clicking on cancel or anything else would not respond.
Please help restore 30684 messages tell me about a finding a work around. I can browse backups so there has to be a way to get them back...
one example is this
/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/mpitogo-mbp/2011-12-20-113717/Macintosh HD/Users/mpitogo/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]/Inbox.mbox/71BA922B-5E27-4F12-93EE-21CC8DBFEF27/Data/0/0/1/Messages

ALL of my mail inbox is gone since recent mail update by Mac, gone where??

Since Mac recently changed the mail application ALL of the mail which was in my inbox has gone and I cannot find it. I kept stuff in there which I really need, does anyone know how I might get it back???

If this happened as a result of something you did using the .Mac web interface or as a result of the changes introduced there, then this is definitely a .Mac Email On The Web issue.
If that’s the case, the fact that your mail has disappeared from Mail as well would just be a consequence of the problem that neither you nor we can do anything about, unless you have a backup copy of the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, in which case, depending on what the account settings are, it might be possible to recover your mail.
You may want to report the problem to .Mac email support. IMO, if it’s their fault (which I don’t know), then they would be obliged to restore your mail from any backups of the server contents they might have (if any).
If, on the other hand, this happened as a result of something you did in Mac OS X Mail, then the discussion would belong to this forum, and you should provide information as to the circumstances under which it happened if you want to make any sense out of it.

Auto forward SAPmail items to external mail

Hi all,
There is currently a program RSWUWFML/ RSWUWFML2 that enables workflow items in the mail box of a user to be forwarded to his external email address.
I would like to check if there is a corresponding program/ function module that performs the same function for other mails in the SAP inbox.
Any suggestions/ recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel
