.mac account disappears from Mac mail

Often I will go to my Mail app and the .Mac Account is no longer displayed. If I quit mail and reopen, it and its folders stored there at .Mac will be displayed.

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

.mac account disappeared from my iPhone

Two odd things happened this past week - maybe at the same time, although I can't be sure.
1) My .mac account disappeared from my iPhone. My POP3 account remains.
2) On my laptop, in Apple Mail, three new mailboxes for the .mac account suddenly appeared under "On My Mac": Deleted, Junk and Sent. They never used to be under "On My Mac", so I'm wondering if this is somehow related to the .mac account disappearing from my iPhone.
I still get mail to the .mac account on my laptop, and it still shows up online when I go to the .mac website.
Should I just go ahead and try to add the .mac account back onto my iPhone or is this likely something more complicated?

Hello, did you resolve this? It's happening to my .Mac/ iPhone now. I've only recently set up my .mac account, and it's now disappeared off the iPhone twice in the 2 days I've had the email account.
any help would be much apperciated,
Regards

ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated. After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences. Why?

So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application? Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

Gmail emails disappearing from my Mail inbox

Hi,
I use the Mail program to manage my emails on my MacBook Pro (as well as my iPad and iPhone). I recently set up a gmail account and have been having a strange problem. Sometimes after I read a gmail, it disappears from my Mail Inbox folder. I haven't been able to figure out a pattern as it doesn't seem to do it every time. When our IT manager configured my computer for gmail, I ended up with a Gmail folder and two subfolders called "All Mail and one called "Important" on my Mail desktop. I told him I didn't want or need those folders but he couldn't get rid of them. When the gmails disappear from my Mail Inbox, I can always find them in one or both of these Gmail folders. But the problem is I get so many emails I don't always notice that one has disappeared until it is too late! This is causing some significant problems. No one has been able to figure out how to stop these emails from moving on their own. Our IT manager is more familiar with PCs than Macs. I hope you can help!! It's very frustrating!

No. The email never makes it to me. It is on my iPhone for an instant, but then it disappears. It never makes it to my Outlook on my computer, and it is not in the Junk Mail, Deleted Items, or in my Sonic Wall Spam Filter box. There are 4 other people in my office, and I know that at least 2 of them are having the same problem. I can't tell if this is a problem with my iPhone or my Exchange Server. Help!

All mail accounts disappeared from mail

Today, I can not get any mail from my mail accounts becaue no accounts are listed. I migrated to iCloud, but it didn't do any good. Mail.app is now useless and I have no way to send or receive email. What the **** do I do now????

OK, I have solved it by using the instructions posted here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
However, now that my @mac.com account has gone from my Mail.app, I can't get at any past mail that was listed by the thousands in the inbox under [email protected]
Is there any way that I can migrate all the mail that was listed under @mac.com to the @me.com iCloud account? If I enable the @mac.com account I can see the list, but Mail app keeps trying to download mail from a that server that no longer exists and ties things up.
Anybody?

Sent emails disappearing from Apple Mail

Hello, I'm finding that sent emails are disappearing from my sent folder in Apple Mail. I was having this issue with the account's IMAP settings, so I've deleted the account and used the Exchange settings – same issue. It was working fine for a while, and then they've stopped saving in the sent folder altogether.
If I send emails through webmail, there's no issue.
Machine / Software –
OS X 10.10.2 on an iMac 21.5" 3.06Ghz Core i3 with 12GB of RAM

Have exactly the same problem.
Sent six emails, without realising they wouldn't get saved in Sent Folder.
Moreover, i messaged one of the people i sent an email to and he told me the email did not arrive?

Drafts are Disappearing from Apple Mail Drafts Folder

I am using Apple Mail wil my Mobile Me and an IMAP Gmail account.
I create, save and close a draft and it then disappears from my Drafts folder with no sign of it anywhere. To date I have lost many emails and countless hours of work rewriting emails. This is more than frustrating.
Is there a way to recover these missing drafts?
How can I stop this from happening in the future?

Same issue.
Any resulotion yet?
This is happening with my 4S - never was a problem with 3G.

Push notifications disappear from Yahoo Mail

I upgraded to IOS 4 a while back (still waiting to do 4.0.1, seems like some have real signal issues). After a while, I stopped getting push notifications from Yahoo mail.
I confirmed all the settings were correct, everything is set to push. I also have an IMAP account which is not push, but it was living happily along side my yahoo mail account.
I tried changing all settings to fetch, then back to push, and it still doesn't work. I tried rebooting the phone, that didn't work. A few days ago I deleted the yahoo mail account, and re-added it. Yay, I got push notifications back! But today, they're gone again
One event that may be to blame is that I plugged it into an older JBL speaker/dock that the iphone says is not compatible (but happily works fine with). Do you think this can cause Yahoo mail push notifications to get screwed up? I hate to have to delete and re-add my yahoo mail account every few days. I'm going to test to see if the dock is the culprit tonight, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has these problems?
-Steve

I just got an iphone 3GS three weeks ago, and found out that I could receive my yahoo e-mails in real time thru my device via push option. Per recommendations of other blogs I deleted my account, changed my password and re-added it again in my iphone but no e-mails in real time yet!! I had the soft version 4.0.1, and now have the 4.0.2 version but remains the same, no e-mails reception in real time. Any help will be more than welcome. Cheers!

User accounts disappeared from Mac Server

My company uses a Mac Server OS X v10.7.5 which we store all our files on and staff connect to it using a mapped drive (B:). This afternoon we stopped being able to connect, we rebooted the server like we normally do, however, when it came back online all of the user accounts have disappeared leaving only our admin account!
All of our files and folders are still there, it's just the user accounts used for accessing these folders that seem to have disappeared.
Coincidently, the + sign under the Users section is greyed out in server.app so I'm having to use Workgroup Manager to add new users. I've tried doing this for myself and given my user account access to the folders that I need however, when I try to map the B: it doesn't recognise my server credentials any more.
Basically, at the moment, no one can access any files or folders so I'm really hoping that someone has an answer on how to either restore the missing user accounts (if that's possible) or how to set up the user accounts so that we can access the files again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

From what I found out it was to do with corrupted Open Directory file, if you've previously archived the Open Directory (through Server Admin) you can restore a previous version or, as we had to do, copied all the server files to an external hard drive and restore from Time Machine, we did it for a point a week ago when it was working and all the user profiles came back.
If you don't already know how to do that, restart the server but hold down the cmd and R (command key and R key) at the same time until it gives you a screen with a list of restore options, select Restore from Time Machine Backup and select a date from a few days ago or whenever you knew it was working fine, depending on the size of the files on your server it can take a couple of hours to do this. Then copy the files from the hard drive back on to the server so youy have the latest versions again.
After it had done this all the user profiles were restored with passwords and groups etc..., if you do remove and restore the files then you may need to re-do any file access permissions but other than that it should be back to how it was before.
Hope this helps and I've explained the process ok.

How do I fix it when an e-mail account disappears from the left panel of the main interface (with inbox of another account on right)..

I recently added two accounts to Thunderbird and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Today I was using one of the new accounts and wanted to change to my old Edurostream account. But it was nowhere to be found. The new accounts and another old account are there. If I go to "accounts" Edurostream is still there, but there is no way I know of to get from there to the inbox for that account. There is no error message. I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (24.6)

If you have all your emails going to Local folders, this sounds like you have a Global Inbox for the pop mail account.
You can check this here:
Tools > Account settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
click on 'Advanced' button.
Is this selected?
'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
Global Inbox accounts do not show the mail account name in the Folder Pane as it does not use those folders.
See info on Global Inbox account:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox
If you remove the account, the emails will remain in Local Folders.
If you change the settings as described above to point to 'Inbox for this servers account (also see image below - words may be a bit different as not an image of latest version), then you will see the mail account in the Folder Pane with it's own set of folders. New mail will go to those folders, but old mail will remain in Local Folders.

E-mail disappeared from Apple Mail in Mavericks

Hello,
I think I experienced a bug yesterday in Apple Mail (I am running Mac OS X 10.9):
While organizing my e-mails, I made a new folder in my iCloud account in Apple Mail. Let's call it "Apple". Then I used the search function to find the e-mails (within my iCloud account) with a certain keyword (let's say "Pear") in order to transfer those e-mails to the "Apple" folder.
I dragged the first "Pear" conversation into the "Apple" folder. The conversation then disappeared briefly from the search results. At that moment I wanted to select the second "Pear" conversation, but in the meantime the first "Pear" conversation had been processed in the "Apple" folder and reappeared in the search results.
So I accidentally clicked again on the first "Pear" conversation and dragged it again to the "Apple" folder (even though it was already filed there) and at that moment the whole conversation disappeared. I did not manage to retrieve the messages from this conversation thereafter. I looked for them with Spotlight, in the trash, I restarted Apple Mail... Then I tried to rescue them from my iPhone but the disappearance had already synchronized to iCloud and deleted them from my phone as well.
As they are all recent messages I can't retrieve them from my Time Machine, as I only backup once a week. Furthermore, I was able to reproduce the behavior on other e-mails by using the search function and dragging an e-mail to its own folder again.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
And does anyone know how to proceed in order to retrieve the e-mails? They were not yet on my Time Machine as they are all very recent e-mails, but they are replies to my wedding save the date message so would like them back very much....
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm practically Amish when it comes to this stuff so I'm limited to opening and deleting (I've got a ton of e mails in my deleted account and its not there either.
Thank you for the input
Apple = Overrated

Trash Folder has disappeared from Apple Mail.

I had to boot into Windows - saw lots of old messages in Inbox
of Outlook Express so I deleted them. Ooops - they were sitting
on the MobilMe server. Now I don't even have a Trash folder over
on Apple Mail in either Tiger or Snow Leopard (2 Macs). How can
I restore?
Thanks,
Tom

Is this account POP or IMAP?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
