Lost all emails from mailboxes (inc. inbox) on 10 April. No backup!

On 10 April I attempted to add an additional email account (not sure how, because a recent upgrade has changed the process of working with accounts). Somehow I managed to lose all the data. I therefore have no history prior to 10 April. There was seemingly no copy of my mails kept by the service provider and I did not have a back-up. I have had my hard disk scanned and they could find no trace of any relevant deleted files. Does anyone know what has happened / how I could recover this data?

Sounds like your email account is a POP account. If so, existing messages in your account's Inbox mailbox (which are stored locally on the iPhone after being downloaded from the incoming mail server) and Sent messages, which are also stored locally on the iPhone, should not have been lost after installing firmware update 3.0. If any lost messages do not remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the incoming mail server - the messages were not removed from the server when downloaded by the iPhone's mail client or removed from the server when downloaded by another email client if another email client is used to access the account, you can delete and recreate the account on your iPhone. Any received messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the incoming mail server will be downloaded as new and unread messages after recreating the account as a new email account.

How to move all emails from mailbox to an external email account in Exchange Server 2007?

I have a user who is leaving the university in a few days. The user would like to forward all of their old emails from their mailbox to their G-mail account. Will setting up email forwarding forward all of the old emails to the G-mail account or just the
new emails that are received after setting up email forwarding? If forwarding isn't the correct solution; then what is? We are running Exchange Server 2007.

No, as you've suspected the forwarding will only affect new messages coming into the mailbox, not existing ones. Additionally, if you did get all existing messages to forward to another account (you could probably do it by creating a rule in Outlook) then
the gmail account would show every single one of them as arriving now, and lose their existing send date.
Probably a better option would be to export the mailbox to .pst, and then assuming the user has their gmail account configured in Outlook somewhere as something other than POP3 they can then open the .pst file on their machine and copy the messages over
to their gmail account, which I think would also preserve the original information.
You could do that via the server using Export-Mailbox as described here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb266964(v=exchg.80).aspx (note it has to be run from a 32-bit OS with the Exchange Management tools installed), or the user could just as easily do it themselves from within Outlook using the Export option.

10.7.4 update has duplicated mailboxes & rebuild has lost all emails

Two of my six mailboxes were duplicated after the update, so I deleted the duplicates in mail preferences.
However, the original mailboxes then lost all email content and showed only the headers, so I rebuilt them both and hey presto - instantly lost the entire contents of both mailboxes, including headers. Not happy .
Any ideas for recovering? Have tried hosting server but emails have also gone from there.

ACT FAST: call your email host and see if they have weekly/etc. backups of your data. If it's a small web/email hosting company they should do this.

All emails from one day lost!

We have a GW 7.03 clustered environment running on NW 6.5.7.
All emails from one day on one of our POs has been lost, ie: on the 21st of this month all received, sent, work in progress and calender items for all users on one of our POs were lost.
The only difference between that problematic PO and the other 6 POs, is that its GWCHECK.db became much bigger in size then the other 6 POs one day after the loss! Also the GWCHECK.log at the root of the PO shows several attempts to run scheduled gwcheck jobs with failure: "Failure 'writing' GWCheck database (WpckSetItemStatusByDrn)" in the log.
Subsequent logs from the GWCHECK.log files on subsequent days are normal. I have since re-created the GWCHECk.db and restarted the PO, since then the log is the same size as other POs.
I cannot find any other indication to show me the reason for loosing the emails from that day!
The PO never ran out of space!
Question (s):
1- Could the scheduled task cause email loss based on the above info?
2- If the lost email was never deleted by the users, is there a way to recover those emails form a restore PO location? (knowing that the restore area will show only deleted messages)
3- Will the only solution if the above statement is true is to load the restore PO against an isolated POA while allowing Client/server & Direct access for client connection?
4- Any idea what caused the email loss?
Thank you

After all: a restore executed - by mistake - to the live environment after midnight on the day of! this made it even harder to detect from the GW aspect, but could be confirmed through our backup system logs. What made the matters even worse; the fact that the nightly backup was running as well!!
The timeline from the Gwcheck logs alligned with the restore logs which also resulted in "bloating" the "NGWCHEK.db" to lamost 30 times as much as normal, since the system went into a loop trying to execute the scheduled maintenance jobs.
Thanks!

I am not sure if there is a way to accidentally purge a given days mail. What about an accidental restore? The gwchecks might be in response to a failure to access the databases and the PO tried to recover them. Look at the poa and mrs logs and see if you find any database errors being reported.
Has another episode like this happened since?

Exchange synced and lost all email on MacBook (mail 4.6)

Our company internal server died on Tuesday, internal web mail (exchange) / was a full loss.
I still had all emails and folders on my MacBook & iPad.
We switched to web hosted exchange Friday. Set up the new account to export all emails from MacBook but exchange synced first,I lost all emails & folders etc. (I have a complete set on my iPad still though)
I understand that imap & pop are saved to mail but exchange emails and folders are not. (unless you create a new mailbox, select all, copy and export to a file)
I changed my default mail account to gmail on Tuesday to continue working & I tried to forward exchange emails from my iPad using my gmail account as the default but it sits in the outbox.
I tried to backup with time machine last week but my external is almost full & it won't overwrite.
Question:
Are the emails still on my MacBook somewhere? Snow leopard 10.6.8
can i recover the lost emails and folders somehow? (mail 4.6)
or export from iPad to the MacBook or exchange? (Without losing them also.)
Any help would greatly appreciated.

Are the emails still on my MacBook somewhere?
If the mail is still on your computer it would be in your user Library/Mail - your mailboxes are in that folder.
can i recover the lost emails and folders somehow?
Do you have a backup you can restore from?

How to select all emails from the same sender

Hi
I have been pulling my hair out with this one, what i want to do is select all emails from 1 specific sender and delete them, because my inbox is completely chocka, is this possible in mail.
Cheers
Karl

There are multiple ways to achieve this. First, you could click the From header in the mailbox in question to sort by sender, then just click the first message from the desired sender and shift-click the last message. Second, you could do a search using the search bar, limiting it to the mailbox in question and searching only the From field using the buttons that appear when you start typing a query.

Upgraded to maverick lost all emails?

Upgraded to Maverick and lost all emails? Help!!!!

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects the reply to address.

Ok, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects just my main business email account, even if the email was sent to a completely different persoanl address. This use to work without issue in Lion. I have at least a half dozen accounts that all come into the "Global Inbox" and I never worried about what account I was replying from as it always matched the account the email was originally sent to.
Now in Mountain Lion, this is broken and no matter what email I select it defaults to my main account and I have to remember to manually select the proper reply address from the drop down menu. So far the only way to avoid this is the keep all the separate account Inboxes showing and then selecting the account that I want to view. Then when I repy it is to the correct address, but having to do this makes the "Global Inbox" view completely worthless! If I have to select teh correct Inbox to get the proper reply address every time then what is the point of having a Global View?
Why did you break this Apple?

Hello,
When you compose a message right click on the attachement and choose "View as Icon".
I know there was a Terminal command to set all attachements as icons by default but never tried it :
- You can also use the Terminal (in your Applications folder > Utilities) quit Mail, and type in the Terminal :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean yes
- To restore the original settings type :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean no
(source)
Hope this will help.

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!
Mark

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

Lost all my mail in my inbox +my mail account

lost all my mail in my inbox +my mail account settings except @mac.com after a crash of my system.
When I rebooted my mac, a pop-up from mail was telling me that it had created a new folder called "distributed" in replacement of the usual "sent items" folder. This last folder is still there but is empty.
Can I somehow recuperate the settings as it was before the crash?

Hi Jake, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
After we're sure those things are OK, we can go further.

Lost all email gmail deleted by mistake need help thank you

lost all email gmail messages deleted by mistake need help thank you.

Mail 2.x doesn’t store mail in standard mbox format. The only way you might find Mail messages in a “recovered” mbox file is if it was a Mail 1.x file that Mail 2.x left there after the conversion to the new *.emlx format when you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier to Mac OS X 10.4.
If you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and don’t have a backup, what you should have tried to recover are as many *.emlx files as possible. Data Rescue II may be able to do that, but the documentation doesn’t say so. The only data recovery utility that I know for sure can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage.
That said, you may still try to import those mbox files as Other (not as Mail for Mac OS X), and hope that they don’t contain garbage that causes Mail to crash — you may look at their contents with a text editor first to check whether there are actually any emails there.
Beware, however, that anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted *.emlx files to be overwritten if you don’t try to recover them first.
