Just lost a very important email

I went to move a VERY important email message from my in box to a folder and i dropped the message on the out box by accident. now the message is gone!!! is there any way to recover it? i have tried using spotlight and the seach function in mail but i found no joy. i REALLY need the information that was in that email and i cannot get in touch with the person who sent it. is there ANY way to recover it at all
Thanks in advance.

The thing is, in Mail 2.x Outbox shouldn’t even appear in the mailbox list under normal conditions -- see Mail Help’s “Where's my Outbox?” article.
Anyway, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox/ and check whether there are any *.emlx files there.
Also, depending on the type of account, the account settings, and whether this a recent message, it may still be on the server...
If the message has been deleted, and it’s not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • My email keep deleting before i can read them have lost some very important emails today before i could read them

    lost most of my important e mails this morning had a total of 21 new emails only managed to read a few when they suddenly disappeared they are not in my deleted folder or any other i can see

    What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
    Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
    Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

  • HT1535 I've lost a very important note on my ipod touch. Most of it should be synched on my computer.  If I synch now, will it delete the note from my computer or restore it on my ipod??  Thanks!

    If you properly erased all data on the iPod it would be exactly how it was the day it was bought. You would be instructed yto set up your iPod and to sign into your Apple ID account etc. If this has happened to you, you have properly erased your iPod.

  • Lost a very important note from the iphone how can i find it ?

    lost a very important note from the iphone how can i find it ?

    Launch JuicePhone. You should see a list of backups. Select the one that's most likely to contain the note you want to recover (again, you should make a copy of the backup in case something goes wrong). Select where you want the extracted files to go and click "Complete". Then go to the folder containing the extracted data and you can find the data file and see if you can extract the data you need.
    If you were using the included Notes application, the file will be notes.db in Home/Library/Notes. You can open the file in Text Edit and try and extract the note text from amongst the code, or you since it's an Sqlite3 database, you can try a database browser that can view Sqlite3 databases.

    Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

    I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

  • Just lost 4 years of emails on iPhone and now MBAir! how do Iget them back?

    Just looked at my iphone and got 3 new emails this afternoon. Scrolled down to find next emails are from Aug 2008!!
    opened up MacBook Air Mail only to see last 4 years emails go in a flash - yes, 4 yrs of emails GONE...!!!
    Anyone any ideas..?  Is this just a temporary server issue or has this wonderful icloud system just wiped all my emails off forever?
    T

    Was just checking on activity over in another area and there are posts reporting problems with the iCloud mail server(s) today...that could be what you are seeing.  Maybe give it a day or two to get resolved and see if they don't do a backup from other servers.
    I will let you know if I hear anything else, also.

  • Iphoto just lost my last import of pictures, how can i get them back?

    Uploaded my pictures on iphoto, when I went to add location to them, iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card. Help how can I get them back.

    iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card.
    What happens now, when you open iPhoto? Are the photos not showing in the library or iPhoto still crashing?
    What is your current iPhoto version?
    If you imported the photos into iPhoto, but are no longer seeing them after the crash, try if rebuilding your iPhoto library will find the photos inside the library. Rebuilding might collect them in a "recovered"  event.
    To rebuild: That will depend on your iPhoto version - this article explains it for the older versions:
    iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
    For iPhoto '11 look at Old Toad's post here:

  • HT4858 Is there anyway to get back icloud photos that have gone over the 1000 pic limit?? i have lost some very important photos

    please help

    There is a little chance that your pictures are included in your last iCloud or iTunes backup, if the photos were stored in the camera roll. Otherwise they are probably gone. For the future I would suggest to start saving your photos additionally (in iPhoto etc.) on your Mac or PC or any other cloud storage like Dropbox.

  • Why is it taking so long for important emails to g...

    Hi, very important emails have taken 12, 14 and 10 hours to reach my inbox. Therefore it was too late for me to carry on with my action regarding them.
    I noticed that the last one was actually sent to me at 9.50am and I received it at 7.50pm !!! I should have received it within a few minutes.
    Can anyone help me? as it is very important that I respond to these emails within an hour of them being sent.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to this forum.
    If they are that important, then I would suggest that you use an alternative e-mail service. If these e-mails are business related, then you are not allowed to your BT Residential account for business use anyway.
    BT Business, and other commercial e-mail systems, are guaranteed to deliver mail quickly.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • IPad battery died while in the middle of composing important email. Help recovering!

    NEEDING HELP!
    I have been up since 6AM carefully composing a VERY important email on my iPad. I was literally DONE and about to press send...when my iPad DIED on me. I had it plugged in and charging...or I thought I did. The outlet wasn't working. Bless it.
    Has anyone else had this happen to them?
    Or can anyone help me recover the email (which I did not save, as I was done and about to send.)
    ANY advice on how to recover it would be appreciated.
    (BTW, I was using an iPad 4.)

    Unless your email account is an IMAP account and the draft was saved on the server, the email is gone now and cannot be retrieved. Emails are not contained in the backup, so even if you did backup the iPad before it died, you still would not be able to recover the email.

  • How about telling us in advance what programs or plug ins will NOT work with the new Firefox. I just lost my "safe search" feature with AVG, and I think that's sort of important!

    Just upgraded to Firefox 6 (which I like, by the way), but when I upgraded to 5, I lost the gaming feature when I installed AVG, and now I've lost the AVG safe search feature, which I think is very important considering that I have grandkids that use my computer,
    How about telling us in advance (and I'm running Firefox, so a link would be easy) whether or not we're going to lose an important feature like the one I lost?
    So, how do I get back to Firefox 5 without uninstalling and reinstalling so I can have that safe search feature back?

    Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
    Contact information Dennis [email protected]
    Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

    Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

  • I lost a really important file (an iText Express document) randomly and then one day, a "recovered file" folder popped up and I assume it has to do with that, but the file just contains a doc with a bunch of coding. What do I do with that? HELP!!!

    As the title question states, I lost a really important file with iText Express. I've been using iText Express for a year or two now because it's just the one application I downloaded for writing and saving documents. I was working on one for a few months and randomly one day last month, when I went to open it to resume editing my work, the file was gone! I searched my whole laptop and trash. Then one day, a "Recovered Files" folder popped up in the area my file used to be, so I assumed that was the file I lost being recovered and I felt relieved. But when I opened the folder, the document inside was a "SoftwareMap" document with a bunch of coding written in it. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with that or how it's going to help me recover my file?!? I lost SO much work!!! If anyone has ANY idea what to do, how this happened, or if the coding is supposed to help me recover my file, PLEASE help!!!

    No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.
