Lost mails in my mail box for all of a sudden

I am a new mac user for a few months only and my english is not that good please forgive me.
I use Mail app to receive mails for my work and I set up the account as a POP account. A week ago I think that the I need to organize my mail box so I create some folders and put my important mails into folders and delete some of mails I don't need them anymore. All of a sudden they all gone before two days ago. Can anyone give me some ideas about what's going on? Any luck on saving my mails?

Hi Lucife,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you create the folders under "ON MY MAC"? If you did then it is possible that a file, which keeps track of where your messages are, has been corrupted. This can be fixed but firstly let us determine where you put your messages.

Thunderbird migrates many wanted mails to my junk box, though all junk settings are disabled.

Since a few weeks TB started migrating many of my incoming mails to the junk box. Disabling all settings regarding unwanted mail (in preferences as well as in account settings), does not help. New mails keep arriving in the junk box instead of the In box. Is it a bug? How can I fix it?

Most likely the messages ending up in the junk folder have been moved there by your provider's spam filter. You may check via webmail if you can tune the provider filter. There's not much else you can do other than regularly checking for false positives.
Alternatively you can switch off the provider filter and train the Thunderbird built-in filter.

Note that you cannot switch off the filter in Gmail.

Help me ditch Outlook! Apple Mail doesn't display messages for all accounts. Thoughts?

I have two IMAP accounts, both GMail. One account always shows messages (Gmail in the screenshot below) but the other usually does not. I've deleted the account, rebuilt it etc and nothing works. When I do get messages to display, as soon as I change folders then go back the messages have disappeared again.
Both accounts are set up the same way. One the account that is not working (Ruddell Consulting in the screen shot), I see the total unread message count under the Mailboxes window but the sort column and preview windows are blank. When viewing the common inbox I only see mail from one account.
I'm trying to get rid of Outlook 2011 but with the same account settings in Outlook 2011 both accounts work as expected so I'm stuck with it until I can get this resolved.
Any thoughts?Thanks!
Jim

I found the problem. Or at least a workaround. I use Google Mail and some folders in my Gmail account were causing problems for Apple Mail. I removed the folders and Mail works as it should.

Wow... I Just Wanted To Check E-mails... Thanks For All The Replys

My contact list on my iPod has gone. In iTunes the info section for contacts doesn't show anything like 'family' - just tick box for all contacts. Any ideas on how to correct this? iPod is 3 yrs old...

My ipod no longer shows any contacts from my address book. iTunes when syncing in the info section - contacts - only shows the all contacts tick box, not categories such as 'family', 'friends' etc.
Any thoughts on why this is please?
Am suspecting icloud as a possible culprit.....
Thanks

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

There is no album artwork in the Multiple items information box for all albums

I have iTunes 10.0.5 and all my album artwork is present but when i bring up the Multiple item information box by clicking on an album there is no artwork there?
but there is artwork on the actual album. im wondering if this is why when im uploading music to the internet using FTP transfer the artwork doesnt come up next to the song name. It does with some and with others there is no art.
All the songs have ID3tags versoin 2.4 and have been converted to a MP3 file but still doesnt work.
Check this image to understand what i mean more.
So from the right itunes is showing an album with the album art, in the middle is showing the Multiple items information boc and on the left its showing my FTP with albumart work showing and some not showing?
PLease can someone help

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

My mail is saying cannot verify account all of a sudden

My mail account is saying cannot verify account. I've deleted and started again but same message appears. Help

Hello Nicola98,
It is possible that some of the server options have changed recently. I would recommend using this to get the settings from the email provider directly and use that information to setup the account.

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.

How can I get Mail sounds to turn off for junk and other non-Inbox new mail?

This week my Mail sound started going off for all types, incessantly, including receipt of the much Junk filtered out of the Inbox into Junk. Formerly I received alert sounds only for new Inbox mail. I have unchecked the "Play sounds for other actions" in Mail Preferences which does no good. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks.

Did you install any software which includes or is a notification program such as Growl? Those may override any options you've set in the Preferences.

On my new iPad 4, all of a sudden the mail screen went to a vertical format and I can't change it back to horizontal. Help!

The mail screen on my iPad 4 all of a sudden went from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format, and I can't change it back. Help!

You should really start a new discussion because many times people will not even look at a solved post. It's one thing if you read the post and the solution works for you, but to add onto a solved post, especially when you have a different problem than the original person that posted, you might not get the help that you need.
I will give it a try. Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

TS3899 I am receiving incoming emails on my iphone5, but my replies sit in the out box for days. I have checked the IP address, etc and that all seems to be correct. Any suggestions please?

I recently purchased an iphone 5.
All the settings have been copied over from my MacPro and all seems to be working fine EXCEPT for out going emails.
Emails come in even when I am out at work, but can I reply - NO - replies sit in the out box for days and then suddenly disappear. I have check all the settings and they seems fine. I have tried turning off the wireless and turning it back on. Some time that works.
Why am unable to send emails even when I am at home near my router?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

OK, that at least means that you won't have to start from scratch again;-)
You could try to re-install only the SyncServices.framework framework since that seems to be broken or corrupt - using Pacifist, you can re-install only parts of the original system from your original disks.
Another approach would be to re-install the latest system update - this is probably the easier solution and might already be enough:

Mac Mail & Qwest E-mail

Up until now I have not had any issues with my Mac Mail and my Qwest E-mail working, but last night it all of a sudden starts asking me for passwords and won't load my incoming emails, or let me send outgoing ones. (It shows them as offline until I put in the password, but I've never had a password for it) I tried reconfiguring the account in the preferences, but everytime it just goes with the automatic settings, which don't work. If you have any suggestions that would be wonderful!

I created a "Ghost" spam rule in Mail as follows:
If any of the following conditions are met:
Select From and Does not contain from the pop-up menus and enter @ in the space provided.
Under Perform the following actions:
Select Delete Message from the pop-up menu.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

if you know the password of the account, i think you can also access the mail using mail client, like you use outlook to deal with your company mail daily.
