Mac Mail missing all of my old e-mails on the server - Help!

Hi,
I recently got a Macbook Air about a month ago and all of my old e-mails on my server were there (I have over 2,000.)
My HD became too full and crashed - I Just got it back today (all of my data is on my external hard drive.) I just tried to setup my e-mail again and all of my old e-mails are missing ..... it only imported by 600 e-mails from January 2nd - thru today..
Where are all of my e-mails? Why aren't they importing? Help! I have very important content and they are still on the server....but not importing.
Thank You!

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

  • Cannot send message (from mac mail) using the server iCloud

    My Mac Mail send stopped working during a large number of mail sends yesterday.Could that be an issue? If so, what to do?
    Message further reads - The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.mail.me.com.
    I deleted the account and set it up again, but still can't get the mail out. Same messages
    If I go on to iCloud, mail send is working fine.
    Can anyone see anything wrong or suggest what to do?
    I've deleted the user name below for the screenshot.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    There is no user name entered in your SMTP (advanced) preferences.

  • Lost all my .mac mail from the server when I changed to icloud

    Hi Can anyone help, I've lost about two years of back up emails from my .me account when I transferred to iCloud?
    Any suggestions

    Mailboxes and messages are located in ~/Library/Mail Check that folder to see if any folders are named for your accounts (e.g., [email protected]). Look in these folders if they contain any messages.
    Alternatively, you can do a Spotlight search for a specific message that you know you had. In the Search results, right-click to Show in Finder. This may lead you to where all your other messages are.
    Other than re-importing messages from within Mail.app, I don't know how you can restore everything including folder structures, etc. Perhaps someone else in this forum can give pointers. Re smart mailboxes, you can just recreate them once everything is back in.

  • Mac Mail gathers the string of e-mails. Is there a way of using the "old" viewing mode?

    Mac Mail gathers the string of e-mails. Is there a way of using the "old" viewing mode? I like to have all mails listed individually and not have the mails grouped together. Is there a way I can use old style settings as they were in Snow Leopard?

    You can uncheck View -> Organize by Conversation...  but note that that is on a mailbox-by-mailbox basis, which is a bit of a pain if you have a lot of mailboxes.  You can also go completely back to the SL look by going to Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing and checking "Use classic layout".

  • How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook?

    How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook? It is currently retrieving all emails from the four accounts I am syncing to and filling up space on my macbook.  I can't work out how to set a limit.
    Any help appreciated!

    Imap is designed to synchronize your mail client with the mail server, this the normal result.
    Switch to POP access if you want it to work asynchronously

    Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

    I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done.  Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks.   Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
    This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow!  Apple really can make simple things difficult.  Who would have guessed."

    iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

  • Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

    Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

    The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.
    What Mac and screen size are you using?

  • HT201343 My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
    I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
    Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

  • Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

    I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

    I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
    In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

  • I can't find a preference to keep mail on the server as it's deleted on individual devices. We have 4 Mac devices and a PC running W8 with the iCloud control panel. How can we keepthe mail on the server as it is deleted from the individual devices?

    How do I keep mail on the server as it is deleted on individaul devices? We have 4 Apple devices and a W8 laptop. We sort and read mail on all of them, but have found that deleting mail on one deletes it on all of them.

    Yahoo and Gmail both support POP if you wish.
    All modern email systems are Imap (because it supports multiple and mobile devices)
    I do not recommend POP under any circumstances, it can not be synchronized so unless you do not use Mobile devices at all (iPhones etc) it is useless.
    Yahoo users (search this site) have endless problems and Gmail is highly non-standard. Expect a learning curve for that one.
    Are you short of server space, why do you need to do this rather retrograde step?

  • My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password.  When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted.  What am I doing wrong??

    My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password.  When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted.  What am I doing wrong??

    Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!!  My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again.  All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
    Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.
