Lost incoming emails?

I have recently added a second email account (gmail) to my mail box as I have been having major problems with orange ( who have admitted that they have a problem currently sending emails) ; since then, "mail activity" shows incoming email which does not then appear in the inbox. I am still receiving emails from both my email accounts, but not as per the quantities shown under mail activity. This makes me think that some emails may be going astray, or are being hidden in some way. How can I resolve this?

If your Gmail account is set up as an IMAP account, as is the default, then there can be lot's of activity building the history of everything on the Gmail servers. Is it set up as IMAP? You certainly can use the web interface to confirm the messages new to the server.

  • Help I lost my email after deleting my mail acount

    I lost my email after deleting my mail acount there was nothoing in the trash and I have important email whish were in the reception folder. What can I do ? Thanks

    It all depends on the type of account and how it was configured. For IMAP-type accounts, mail is stored on the server, and setting up the account again is all that's needed to regain access to your mail.
    If you deleted a POP account, however, then all your mail stored locally in that account's mailboxes has certainly 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.
    For each mail 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 the account causes this folder and everything within it to be deleted as well.
    If the POP account was configured to leave mail on the server for some time instead of removing it right away, incoming mail that's still on the server can be downloaded by setting up the account again, just like for IMAP accounts, but keep in mind that this would only work for received (i.e. not sent) mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
    If the messages are not on the server, and you don't have a backup, your only option 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 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.

  • Incomplete sent folders / lost outgoing emails

    Greetings,
    I have set-up Mail.app to access several incoming / outgoing mail servers. Mail.app organizes the outgoing emails under the generic 'Sent' hierarchy, according to the mail server used.
    I am missing a couple emails sent with one particular SMTP servers, and I have been unable to retrieve them: Since this is not a POP server, there is no 'Sent Messages.mbox' or specific POP folder in the Library/Mail directory that I could restore.
    Restoring the whole Library/Mail structure worked half way: I have a couple of emails showing as 'unread' (blue dot), but these are totally empty: no headers or content to them. Rebuilding the particular 'Sent' mailbox removed these empty messages all together.
    I have no clue on why the emails went missing in the first place, and am running out of ideas on how to recover the lost outgoing emails.
    Thanks for any pointers.

    Ernie, I can confirm:
    The account does appears in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information as a separate account
    There is no obviously related folder for it under Library/Mail (all other folders seem to relate to specific pop accounts, for example: [email protected], [email protected] and so on, but I have no folder named [email protected]).
    This is my first in the list of email accounts under Mail/Preferences - but am unsure if that makes it the 'primary' account, where the sent messages of the primary account are supposed to be, or what, if not the 'From' Address, the criterion is for Mail.app to place a sent message in a particular place. Library/Mail/Mailboxes/out* are empty so I know the missing messages are not there.
    Further, copies of Sent emails are never erased - for any account.
    Thanks for your patience
    James

  • No sound alert for incoming emails

    I lost  sound alerts for the incoming email messages into my yahoo mail  inbox since I upgraded to Mountain lion. I even made rule to play sound it but doesn't work!!! I have all the setting on. Apple please fix since this problem arose with Mountain Lion upgradation.
    On the other hand any communication done through the apple mail app doesn't save send items automatically. Apple email is poorly desigend and needs to be redesign or eliminated  completely.

    Thanks. I just talked to apple rep and we figured out that in system preference>sound effect> output volume, I had mute option checked which happened during upgradation to Mountain lion.  iI unchecked mute and now sound alert works. However the sent items are not being synchronized with web based yahoo email sent items.

  • Stop categorizing incoming emails with same category as thread

    Hi, I categorize certain emails.  When I receive a reply to an email that is categorized, the reply is then categorized to match the other email in the thread.  I don't want that.  I want incoming emails to not be categorized.  I've
    even created a rule to remove categories on receive, but they still get categorized.  I also have a rule to remove categories before send, just in case that's how they're getting there.  
    Any ideas how to stop this?
    I'm using Outlook 2010 against Exchange.
    Thanks!

    Does that help?

    Hi,
    Sorry for my delay. Has the issue been resolved?
    I have tested all your scenarios above in my environment one by one. But I can't reproduce your issue. And the message received last time by the Receiver is not categorized in any scenario.
    I suspect whether the receiver opened the Inbox folder by conversation view in Outlook. Please do the following changes in Outlook to have a try:
    1. Click the receiver's Inbox Folder.
    2. Click View tab on the Ribbon.
    3. Please make sure the Show as Conversations checkbox is unchecked.
    4. Close Outlook. And run the following
    Outlook switches to open it:
    Outlook /cleanviews
       Restores default views. All custom views you created are lost.
    Then check whether the issue persists. If it doesn't work, please confirm if the issue only happens to one specific user and we can change a new machine for this user to send test message for further troubleshooting.

  • Almost all incoming emails going to junk folder

    I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now with very few glitches. However, suddenly, it is putting almost all my incoming emails into the junk folder. I believe my junk settings are appropriately set. I have attached a screen shot of them. What I am doing wrong?

    Just to verify that its TB and not the server that moves the mail into junk, change destination of your junk to a local junk-folder.
    Then also disable adaptive junk mail control temporarily. To see if this is causing it.

  • Incoming Email on Windows Server 2012

    Windows Server 2012:
    SMTP and the associated management tools are deprecated. Though the functionality is still available in Windows Server 2012, you should begin using System.Net.Smtp. With this API, you will not be able to insert a message into a file for pickup; instead configure
    Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP.
    Question:
    If this is the case, is there a TechNet article that has instructions for installing/using incoming email on a SharePoint 2013 web front end?
    What I know:
    Why do we install deprecated features http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263260 (Plan incoming email for a SharePoint farm in SharePoint 2013) to make this work?
    What to do:
    I want to use the basic scenario for incoming email, but with the information above about Windows Server it looks rather like idiotic to follow those directions in the TechNet article.
    How to do this:
    "... instead configure Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP." Huh? Oh stupid me!
    Thoughts???
    NOTE: We do use Exchange for incoming email.
    Chris

    You will need to continue to use the IIS6 SMTP Virtual Server for SharePoint incoming email. I'm sure by the time the feature is dropped, the SharePoint group will have an alternate solution.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2010 incomming emails not delivered to library

    Hello
    we run a SharePoint 2010 Foundation server and an Exchange 2010 Mail Server. I want to add incoming-email-support to a SharePoint Library.
    I have installed and configured SMTP Server on the local SPF, enabled incomming email support on SharePoint via Central Administration, here I have specified the respective drop Email-Folder. Have added a new send-connector on Exchange in order to forward emails
    to the SharePoint SMTP (while SMTP and Sharepoint is the same host)
    I also have configured the Email-Settings on the library settings, configured a email-address, allowed to recieve email from any sender via Library Settings / Incomming-Email-Settings. Nevertheless the sender is a AD Member of the same Acrive Direcotry whom
    I gave contributor permissons to this site and library. It is a document library.
    While I send an Email to the resp. library this one is delivered via Exchagne to the SMTP server, put into the drop folder. From there it disapears very soon, obvioulsy it's beeing picke dup be the Timer Service. But the Email never arrives into the document
    library in charge. Actually I have no idea where the emails went without leaving a trace once they have been picked by the timer service from the drop folder of the smtp server. Actually I don't know for sure who pickes up the emails, but I can tell that they
    disapear after just a few minutes or secons from this folder where they can be found as .eml for the time beeing.
    Any suggestions where to search, where to look into some log-files etc. are highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • How do I stop two copies of Incoming emails appearing in my inbox

    Quite suddenly, this morning two copies of most Incoming emails have started to appear in my inbox

    presetly you are using POP from gmail(Which is default), use IMAP settings(visit google website for configuration) and then you will not see your sent mails in INBOX.

  • I have sent in a question but don't think I worded it right. I have 3 email accounts. The all work fine. My problem is that I set up a "notication" the same way on all 3 but incoming emails are only notifed to me (alerts) on one of them.

    How do I get notifications of incoming mail? I have set this up on 3 accounts and the "beep" only works on incoming email for one of the 3 accounts. The emails come in fine but I have to open up the phone to see if I have any messages.

    Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod?  Have you looked in all your folders?  Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.

  • 2013 Home and Office Outlook - Pop email incoming email disappear

    I have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 (current updates) using the same email POP account for over three years. 
    For weeks, I’ve seen incoming email disappear.  My Desktop Alert shows new email incoming then it disappears from the inbox.
    I know these emails were sent to me because my co-workers have emails that show me cc’ed that I did not receive.  
    Where are these disappearing emails going or are they being rejected?
    I was forced to perform the 8.1 upgrade, no impact on Outlook
    I checked and have all Office updates current
    I’ve checked my other device’s email apps and those emails were not located there.
    I’ve checked my Outlook Options: Conversation clean up:  added
    /checked – Do not move unread messages
    I have Disabled all:
    Add-ins,
    Rules and Alerts, no folders
    No security add-ins
    Not sure on - View and manage Microsoft Office Add-ins  

    This may be caused by different reasons, but the most likely reason is on the custom setting. To help you investigate what happened to your messages, we'll walk you through a step-by-step process to eliminate possible causes of your missing messages:
    Step1: Check web server - Please check your web serve to see if those missing messages are out there.
    Step2: Search all messages - Try to search the messages that are missing. Remember to click
    All Mailboxes button before searching.
    Step3: Check junk mail setting - They are probably set to delete mail rather than send it to the
    Junk E-Mail folder.
    Step4: View filter - Please check your View filter
    to see if you have set any filter rules to the incoming mails.
    Step5: Forwarding settings - Please check in Account settings dialog to see if you have changed the default deliver location of your account.
    Please follow above steps to see if you can find your missing data.

  • How can i set up different rings/tones for incoming emails for different email accounts?

    HI, I would like to be able to hear different rings/tones for emails coming from different email accounts. Eg, One sound for incoming email from gmail and another sound for incoming e-mail from Yahoo.
    Thanks!

    No.  Maybe with ios 6 this fall.
    "Also would there also be an option for high priority emails to have a different ringtone as well?"

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
