Lost Emails before Jan '15

I've discovered that all of my emails before Jan'15 have gone. Is this a size restriction or has the system somehow lost/deleted them.
Will it be possible to get them back? ... there's some very important emails in there.
Terry

It should not have happened. There is no size restriction. You should phone BT 0800 111 4567 ASAP to see if the can be recovered.

Re: HELP! URGENT! lost email messages!

had to shut down due to time constrictions, sorry for pushing the need for help, but I was desperate to recover vital lost messages. I tried everything suggested in the Mail help records and past discussion posts. At this point (next morning) my mail is still lost.
any suggestions will be appreciated.

HELP! URGENT! lost email messages!
Posted: Jan 21, 2007 6:29 PM
I started, two days ago, receiving four of each message coming to me. I just looked at my accounts and saw two of my primary account (POP.ipa.net is the Incoming mail server), I'd never seen the second one before, so I deleted it.
Went to my (Mac Mail ver. 2.1) mail browser and all my inbox and sent and junk messages now show the same message: "The message from [email protected] concerning “Receipt for Your Payment to (account name)” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
WHAT!!!!!!??????
I went to Apple discussions and found a problem similar from today and followed the advice there by David Gimeno:
"In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder, and look at the contents of INBOX.mbox and Sent Messages.mbox."
did this and found nothing under either .mbox folder ...
HELP!!! IMPORTANT MESSAGES ARE IN THE BALANCE!

If you deleted a POP account, then all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes has been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved your mail to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving it in the account’s mailboxes.
If the messages are 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 (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). 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. Actually, your anxiety may very well have already caused some of those messages to be irretrievably lost.
As to why you appear to have lost messages from the account that remains in Mail as well, note that for each account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Deleting a mail account causes the corresponding account folder to be deleted as well.
You should never, ever, set up two accounts in Mail with the same Account Type, User Name, and Incoming Mail Server. Two such accounts would share the same account folder in the filesystem, and deleting one of them would cause the (shared) account folder to be deleted as well...

I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

Hello!
I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update. It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
Many thanks in advance!

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

Is there a way to retrieve notes from notepad if the phone powered off lost charge) before I hit the done button?

Is there a way to retrieve notes from notepad if the phone powered off lost charge) before I hit the done button?

If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

How can I delete addresses in a received email before forwarding?

I want to clean up a message before forwarding it to someone on my iPad. Cannot find out hoe to delete sections of received email before sending on. Read a double tap would give me a delete option but it does not. So much for buying books. Also have never figured out how to delete a saved photo from iPad either. Anybody out there know how?

You have 2 options, 1: tap and hold on the first word of the message and select-drag or select all the text you want and copy it, then start a new mail message and tap into the body of the mail and paste, or 2: tap forward, and in the new mail message tap on any of the recipients you want to delete and back space/ delete, and the same goes for the text; tap and hold on the first word and select-drag-backspace/delete the text.

How to filter/check outgoing email BEFORE it is sent?

I want to write a set of rules to check outgoing email *before* it gets sent. For example: I have 2 contacts with very similar names and autocomplete occasionally means that I send an email to the wrong person. I want to be able to avoid potentially troublesome situations by specifying that an email with certain keywords never gets sent to specific addresses. I'd like a warning to pop up, or just to have the email shunted into a special local mailbox, if it meets certain conditions prior to being sent out. I am using Apple Mail and Outlook 2011 with an Exchange server. Is there any mail client, or script or extension that will allow me to check emails for specific things before they are sent out?

Hi Raju,
Try this. Create another dataprovider within your web template? This new dataprovider refers to a similar query, but this query definition should restrict values CG1, CG2, CG3 and CG4. Assign this dataprovider to your checkbox. Then make sure the properties of the checkbox affect all other dataproviders.
Also, if this list is static, you could create an HTML checkbox object coding the options (cg1, cg2, cg3, and cg4) programmatically. Then add javascript code to produce the proper filtering based on the users' selections.
Let me know what happens.

Does anyone know how to get my email to download pictures? I was able to view pictures in my email before I upgraded to iOS 7. I have allow remote pictures turned on in my settings.

I was able to view pictures in my email before I upgraded to iOS 7. I have allow remote pictures turned on in my settings. I loved Apple until this last upgrade. It used to be an intuitively designed product. I hate it now. If they don't make it easier for older users to use again, this will be the last Apple product I every purchase.

Welcome to AD!
I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

My,trashed,mail,is,only,showing,October,trashed,emails,and,a,small,list,of,rando m,emails,before,October.,,My,setting,are,on,never,delete,the,trashed,emails.

My trashed emails are only showing for the month of October. My settings are to never delete trashed emails, so I should have a significant number of emails in there. I do see a few random emails before October. How do I get them all to show, I need to search them for a particular email. This is a .mac email account

If secureserver.net is IMAP then all emails will by definition come back unless you dragged emails into folders residing only "On My Mac" in Apple Mail on your previous machine. If secureserver.net is POP and your mail is not coming back, the only thing that could be from is the messages being deleted from the server, esp. if they aren't showing up in web mail. It's even possible that the thieves deleted all of your messages. Check you webmail's trash bin.
Do you have a backup? Can you contact your email provider about possible data recovery? Sorry, this sounds terrible!

I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

The iPad was plugged into the iMac to transfer apps etc and asked to update the macs OS. The result is that the last 12 months of emails have gone ( emails not working) as have whatever files were on the desktop. The calendar has also reverted to 2011.
Worse still is adobe software I use for work won't let me open.
Any ideas?

Lost emails .not in any mailboxes?

Hi I have not long had I pad but seem to have lost emails. They do not appear in any mailboxes

Is it all or just some?
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Cannot PREVIEW my eMail before sending; nor can I use BOLD, ITALIC etc.

In the past 3 days: Cannot PREVIEW my eMail before sending; nor can I use BOLD, ITALIC etc.
I can add this: and I think you see the smiley-- but I cannot use the "B" bold button to make a selection of text bold; nor any other features for emphasis-- and cannot even get the Preview window to open.
Is this a technical problem or me?
Thanks,

Lost emails upgrading from tiger to leopard

I lost emails (although mailbox folders are still there, just empty) after upgrading from tiger to leopard. Please help?!

I followed these instructions the last couple of times this happened to me. It works so well that I've made a text file with these instructions:
I got it to work by deleting all the values in the defaults database associated with Mail and the Junk rules. In my case I did the following:
Remove the Envelope Index file (~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index) from your user account.
Launch Terminal.
Copy/Paste this list into the Terminal window.
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailBehaviorHasBeenConfigured
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailHeaderFlags
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailInfoPanelHasBeenShown
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkViewerAttributes
defaults remove com.apple.mail LastTimeJunkWasVisited
defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsJunk
defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsNotJunk
defaults remove com.apple.mail UseJunkMailHeaderFlags
Watch the rapid execution of the text commands in the Terminal window.
Quit Terminal.
Launch Mail.
Follow the onscreen guides to import your mail and watch the mail database restore itself.
All mailboxes, drafts, etc., should be quickly restored. Mail launches and quits correctly.
You will need to start updating the Junk filter in Leopard from scratch as new junk mail shows up.
