Lost e-mail message -  iPad2 3G

I composed an e-mail message on my iPad2 3G with 3G mode active and WiFi off.  After completing the message, I entered the To and Bcc fields, then clicked send.
The mail program indicated 'sending' in the status area at lower left.  After a long time, several minutes, the 'Sending' note disappeard, but the message did no show up in my 'Sent' folder.
No 'Drafts' folder appears in my mail program, only 'Inbox' and 'Sent'.
How can I retrieve a copy of the message?
How do I locate and review the 'Drafts' folder?

Boy, you were not kidding about traffic on this issue. There's a technical paper on it also. I solved the problem by a simple rebuilding, except for one odd box where rebuilding didn't work so I moved the mail from a disabled box to the active box and then rebuilt.
So rebuilding isn't unimportant. I thought it was just like when you compressed your mail in the old AOL so I basically ignored doing it.

  • Lost E-Mail Messages

    I just lost 13,000 Sent mail and 3,000 Inbox messages. I just started a .Mac account and Sync-ed my Mail, but that wasn't supposed to affect the e-mail messages themselves, just Bookmarks, Accounts, and Rules, etc.
    Anyone know what might have happened and how I can get that mail back? Thanks.
    Bob

    You’re welcome.
    in ~/Library/Mail, found only one folder--labeled with the @ sign.
    I double-clicked on it and received an error message--"The Internet
    location file (number here) cannot be opened because it is damaged."
    I have no idea what are you talking about here.
    When I sync-ed the accounts for the first time, my main Earthlink
    mail account was duplicated. I deleted one copy
    Ouch! This is where you lost your mail then. For each account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the username and the incoming mail server. Having two accounts sharing the same account folder in Mail is calling for trouble. Amongst other problems, deleting one of the accounts would cause the (shared) account folder to be deleted as well, and all your mail stored there to be lost. It’s not that you had two copies of the same messages and deleted one of them. It’s that you were seeing the same messages twice, and lost them all when you deleted one of the accounts.
    I'm not sure the FileSalvage tool will help, since not using the
    computer is not an option.
    The more you use the computer, the more likely it is that the deleted files may be overwritten, but since Mail 2.x stores each message in a separate *.emlx file, there is always the possibility that you can salvage some of those messages. If you don’t have a backup, that’s your only option, so you may want to try it anyway.

  • Lost saved mail messages after upgrading to OSX Mavericks

    I rencently noticed that after upgrading to OSX Mavericks I have lost all of my saved messages from before that date, messages mainly from my gmail account that is syncing with Mail. I have also noticed that the same messages are now missing when I log into Gmail and look for them there.

    HI,
    I also use IMAP and the "folders" I create in the Mail App are actually created on the IMAP server.
    My Mail side bar looks like this:-
    Between the INboxes and the Google folders are the Smart Mailboxes (Today)  and the On My Mac line which is current closed/hidden.
    I have a bunch more folder that are On My Mac in here.
    I went the Google Mail Web page the other day and was informed that there was a New Inbox.
    I also received an email about it.
    It appeared to happen just as I logged in to Google.
    I not sure it this was coincidence or the trigger.

  • I've lost the "Send" button in my reply window. When I double click on a Mail message, on order to reply, the "Send" button at the top of the window is missing. I can reply by closing and saving my reply, and re-openning from Drafts. How to fix?

    Hi, try this...
    If nothing is showing in the Toolbar at top, click the little gray oval at top right.
    Right click or Control+click on the Toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar, drag the Send button to the Toolbar.

  • How to delete empty mail messages in my Ipad2

    I am receiveng empty mail messages in IPad2 and can not select them for deletion. They have no headers, no from or to, nothing? Any clues on how to select them? Edit in mail does not work either.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'

  • Just upgraded to Lion (uggghh); lost mail; was able to get it to work, but lost folders and messages in those folders; any way to recover?

    I was able to get mail working again, but when it rebuilt everything, I essentially lost all of my archived messages in my folders.  Is there a way to get this back while still staying on Lion?  The only answers I've seen are taking mail back down to Snow Leopard.
    If the answer to the first question is no, is there a way to downgrade the OS back to Snow Leopard and then I could (hopefully) restore from my Time Machine back-up?

    What do you mean you "essentially" lost all archived messages?  What exactly happened?
    You can try restoring specific mailboxes/messages from your Time Machine backups.

  • Since installing OS X 10.9 some (not all) of my mailboxes have lost the contents of their mail messages. Can I restore them?

    Since installing OS X 10.9 last week, my Mail app is malfunctioning. I can no longer read the contents of old mail messages in some of my mailboxes. Others are fine. Can I restore them?

    As EtreCheck just provides a snapshot in time, it is not terribly useful for figuring out what is slowing the system down unless you have known bad actors running on your Mac that show up in the report.
    You need to watch Activity Monitor when it slows down and see what is chewing up CPU and Memory.
    If the Memory Pressure gets into the Red while using it, then it is likely not enough RAM for what you are trying to do. With the check you posted above, you weren't having any memory issues at that moment.
    You've got a handful of startup items which I know nothing about. Try disabling them and see if things are better.
    User Login Items:
        WBE Desktop Notifier
        WorkspaceUpdate
        iTunesHelper
        AdobeResourceSynchronizer
    And
    [loaded]    com.starfield.backupservice.plist 3rd-Party support link
    You can test by booting into Safe Mode. If it works reasonable well there, it is likely one of the startup or login items.
    If not, I would agree with others that it is the lack of RAM.

  • How do I get CC & BCC to appear in incoming mail messages?

    Since upgrading to Lion I can't get the CC & BCC to show in incoming mail messages.
    Also have we lost the alphabetical index down the side of the address book?

    In the very top right of incoming mails, there's a "show more info"-button. This should show any CC and BCCs.
    In address book, letters now appear before names with that letter. Unless I misunderstood you, this is what you are looking for.
    Cheers

  • Mail messages missing after upgrade to 10.4.3

    Short story: I upgraded a Mac from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and now none of my old received mail messages are in my inbox.
    Long story: Installed Tiger using "Archive and install". Repaired permissions. Installed the combo updater to 10.4.3 using software update. Repaired permissions again. After the system was upgraded to 10.4.3 I opened mail. It said it was importing messages. However, when it was done, there were only 6 messages from the last few days. The other 400 or so messages that had been in mail (in the inbox) in the previous version were not in the mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mailbox. This resulted in losing all of these 6 messages. I tried importing from the old account mailbox and mail re-created the mailbox structure, again with only 6 messages in the inbox.
    I have tried re-importing my inbox which is listed as 18.2 mb in size but I get a dialog box that says there are no valid mail messages to be imported. I have tried importing messages from my backup disk, a backup created before the 10.4.3 upgrade but it gives me the same “no valid messages to be imported.” I have tried rebooting but there are still only 6 messages in the inbox to be seen.
    Of note, the sent mail box is full of messages and appears to have been upgraded appropriately.
    The application mail and all associated mailboxes etc are in their default locations. I have not moved or modified any of the locations of files.
    Any ideas on what happened and more importantly how to restore or otherwise make visible all of my mail messages?
    Thanks,
    Pete

    When I compare the above INBOX.mbox files to the 13 POP account folders in my pre-upgrade Retrospect Backup, the files sizes match, but the difference is there are no "Messages" folders in the backup - I assume these are folders/files Tiger built (and screwed up) during my first launch/import of the Upgraded Mail.
    Thanks again for looking at this.

  • My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

    My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

    Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
    There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
    Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
    Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
    Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
    In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
    Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
    It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
    I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
    Problem solved - for me anyway!!
    Hope this helps.

  • Orphaned mail messages following upgrade - how to reclaim them?

    I've recently upgraded my G5 iMac to 10.5 from 10.4. The upgrade did not go smoothly. I made a bootable clone of my disk to an external HD, but this would not boot correctly (it started up but I could not log in), and so I ended up doing an erase and install, and then migrating everything from my laptop rather than from the external HD. I'm now moving across what I need piece by piece from the external HD.
    With Mail I have a ~/Library/Mail folder on my upgraded iMac which works fine, but I also have an "orphaned" ~/Library/Mail folder on my external HD, with lots of useful email messages in it.
    Question: How can I move all the old mail messages from the orphaned folder into the live folder, so that Mail.app recognises them and I can work with them?
    This must have happened to others. Any input most welcome.
    Regards
    Graham

  • Leopard Upgrade from Panther Forgot Mail Messages

    I just upgraded from Panther to Leopard. My iPhotos, Word documents, Bookmarks, everything except email messages made it thru the upgrade and are accessible. My problem is that although all of the Mail user settings are fine, and I can send and receive mail, my inbox, sent box, etc. are empty. Do I have any hope of seeing the contents of them again?

    It seems Tiger lost my Mail files. I restored from backup, then started Mail again. It imported in less than 1 minute, then started up normally.
