Loading old messages into mailbox

Is there any way to load old messages into your mailbox on a iPhone?
In my mailbox on the iPhone it only shows mails for about one or 2 weeks, but i want all the mails i have in my POP3 mail... is that possible?
Thanks!! =)

When accessing a POP account with an email client, the email client downloads new messages received at the incoming mail server for the account. If these messages downloaded with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account have been removed from the server when downloaded by the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, the messages are no longer available at the incoming mail server for the iPhone's mail client to download.
This is the nature of a POP account. Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client.
If your account were an IMAP account, all messages in the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account would be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's mail client. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can also store sent messages on the server with an IMAP account so all sent messages are the same with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with a POP account.

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!

POP email loading Old Messages, and not most recent messages: (not Gmail)

Hi,
I'm having an issue where my iPhone is loading old emails instead of the most recent ones on the server. I see the messages download in outlook (leave message on server). But my iPhone will download the most recent message for awhiel and it will stop.
I have it set to display 25 messages. It used to always download the most recent messages and push the old messages out. (i'd have to hit download 25 more to see more). But now it no longer does this. Also, when i delete a few messages, it downloads some messages, but not the most recent ones. Also tried completely deleteing the account and starting over. But after it fills up, the same thing happens. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it started having this problem.
I've tried deleting all email, but eventually it fills up and then starts doing the same thing.
Thoughts and help would be appreciated.

Those messages which iphone can't get are Junk mails..
First remove the account,
Go to Setting/mail and choose "show 50 or more recent messages".
Add your account again.
go back to mail settings
choose your account at the top of add account...
go to advanced
below the deleted messages
remove... choose "after one day"
under the incoming setting, delete from server choose "7 days" (which is quite enough time to keep)..
Thats all.. Fixed on my phone..
This phone is not your real mailbox. Use it to check only or respond After that delete them...
Don't keep your mails in it. Use Mail, Entourage or Outlook etc..
Peace..

Mac mail won't load old messages!

Hi!
I've been trying to set up my mail, but the account will only load up to 106 messages, though the 'incoming messages' bar says something around '506 of 628' messages incoming. Is there anyway to get them back? I've tried the rebuild option but it does absolutely nothing. I managed to get 400 to load, by fiddling with servers, and then clicked rebuild to get the rest and it took it back to 106! Please help, I'm not very good with tech language but I desperately need the old messages back!
Also the mail I'm trying to recover is not a gmail/yahoo or anything, it is linked to my personal website which is hosted on TSO. I've tried using IMAP, POP, and turning off ssl but to no avail!
Thanks,
Claire

I'm experiencing similar problems, inbox empties as soon as I open a message (I still can send/receives messages. Spent 1 hour with AT&T and Apple customer service; all the help they gave was "delete the account", which did not do anything...it reminded me (not in a good way) of the days of frequent MS Windows crashes and all the help MS would provide was "just restart your computer.." very frustrating so far.
Anybody, please help! Thanks!! My yahoo mail works fine on Wifi or 3G, Safari does too, I tried my exchange email on wifi and 3G and get the same problem..

Mail automatically moves old messages into a new folder.

Hi,
I noticed today that Mail automatically created a new folder called Aug2009 and moved all my old messages from my Inbox into that folder. How do I stop it from doing that? I would like to be able to see and search through ALL my mail at once, not just one month at a time.
Thanks for your help
-Patrick

Greetings,
Sounds like you have a Rule setup to do that, since it's not something Mail would do all by itself. Look in Preferences > Rules for that and if you see it, delete it; then move the messages back to your Inbox.

Shortcuts for filing mail messages into mailboxes

I just switched from ThinkPad to MacBook Air, and from Thunderbird to Apple Mail. I have a big hierarchy of mailboxes (several thousand of them). It is time-consuming to drag a mail message through the hierarchy into the appropriate mailbox. In Thunderbird, I had a plug-in that allowed me to quickly file mail messages into appropriate mailboxes by simply typing a few letters of the mailbox name. Is there anything similar for Apple Mail (or any other tricks for filing mail messages more quickly)?
Thanks for your help.
M....

Thanks for your response.
Actually, the plug-in for Thunderbird works quite well, even with thousands of mailboxes. You type in a few letters from the mailbox name (not necessarily the first letters) and it shows a list of all mailboxes whose names include those letters.
If someone could create a plug-in like this for Apple Mail, I think it could be very useful.

Mail inserts old messages into new ones

So I have been getting emails from people, everything from the sender to the subject line is right but then instead of getting that message, an old message from that inbox is put in its place and its very confusing. Then my phone decides that all the 2000 messages in that inbox on the server are new messages and tries to download them all at once to my phone.
Anyone have any ideas of how to stop this? I have a feeling its something to do with my email provider.

You can only restore Messages when restoring from a complete backup that contains those messages.
If you have a backup in iTunes on the computer or in iCloud, you can follow the restore section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Upgrade PE6/Win to PE8/Mac - load old catalog into Bridge?

I've been successfully using Photoshop Elements 6 on XP for some time. But, I'm shifting my main machine from PC to Mac, and as part of that move I just bought Photoshop Elements 8 for the Mac. Right now, I'm accessing the existing photos via a shared folder from the XP machine, so the folder structure is the same on both. Of course, I've got metadata for the pics on the PC, mostly star ratings. Is there any way to take the catalog from Organizer on the XP machine and import it into Bridge on the Mac? If I can't, it won't be a heartbreaker, but it sure would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

No, sorry. Bridge is a browser, not an asset management system; it keeps no database, just shows you the current state of the folder you point it to. What you can do is to make tags for your categories, ratings, etc. in windows before exporting the photos to the mac, then use Write tags and properties to Files in the organizer to make metadata keywords out of them (You might also prefer to use psedbtool for this). Then any program that can read metadata can pick up the keywords, although you'll have to re-establish your hierarchies. There are some limitations on doing this--not much good with raw files, for instance--so try it on a couple of images first.

How do i stop my ipad from loading old emails from my imap account?

i have a problem with my ipad loading old messages instead of new messages from my imap email account. Anyone know how to fix it?

If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account. When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email. That's a POP account.

Load Earlier Messages button help

On my iPhone 5 i OS 6.1.2, I have over 1000 texts in a conversation with someone in Messages. I want to look at some old texts I've sent to and review from this person; please someone tell me how I load old messages more quickly than using the 'Load Earlier Messages' button!? It's incredibly slow and then it freezes, so I can never get to the beginning of the message that I want to read.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Jerry

Thanks! Mine keeps freezing, anyway to stop that?

Mail is moving old messages from folders into the inbox

Hey,
Mail has started behaving really weird. It has started to move old messages, from various folders into the inbox. When i try to move it back, i have to use the contextual menu to do that, drag and drop doesn't work.
Has anyone experienced this before? Help is greatly appriciated!
/Andreas

Hi Andreas.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), proceed as follows to re-create Mail’s index:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium,
upfront:
I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
Now the real deal:
I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

TS3899 My email on my iPhone won't allow me to trash old messages -- I get "unable to move message" "message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash" I have restored to factory settings, asked AT&T about it (no help).

my iphone won't allow me to trash old email messages -- I get the little window that says "Unable to Move Message -- The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." AT&T can't help me -- no one else has this problem, even though we're all on the same server from my company. I have restored to factory settings, but it didn't help. My email account settings are correct, the same as on my computers, and I can trash old messages on them.
What do I do now?

I have had a similar problem recently and followed advice here. Specifically, I used the brute force approach. As suggested by this site, I strongly urge you to backup your mailbox before trying this fix - just to be on the safe side.
