Mac Mail sent email disappeared from email server

Today all of my macmail in my sent mail folder disappeared. I kept the sent mail on the macmail server, but it did not give me any warning that the mail would be taken down. I have the box checked that says 'never delete sent mail'. Is there a way to download the mail from the server?
Thanks!

Try looking at this thread. It helped someone else having the same problem.

  • POP Emails disappearing from email server

    I have a POP email address, set up on both my iPhone5 and laptop Outlook. All mail is coming to my phone. Some of the messages aren't showing up on Outlook. And all of the messages are deleted from my mail server (which is hosted by a local company in Houston).
    All the correct boxes are checked.
    On iPhone Settings>Mail>Advanced, "Delete from Server" is selected to "Never."
    In Outlook, under the specific account settings, the box that says "Leave copy on the server" is checked.
    I called mail provider and went through this with them. They had me re-check those boxes and, of course, they were correct. (I have three other email accounts on my phone and a bunch for business on Outlook) and every other address is working fine.
    The provider's answer was that it must be a device problem and that I should check with Apple or AT&T.
    Just wondering if anyone else has seen the same problem.

    That's because POP will delete messages from the server entirely when it downloads them. Set up Outlook to use IMAP instead. If you can set up the iPhone and iPad to use IMAP, there is no reason you can't set up your computer to use IMAP.

  • Why have my mac mail sent messages disappeared on one computer but not the other?

    My mac mail account on my Air is not showing my sent messages other than the one I just sent.  To find the variables, I checked my mac mail on my iMac and my sent messages are there. 
    Not sure what the problem is but I look forward to some help.
    Thanks.

    I note that I just found all previous sent messages in the separate sent messages folder on my sidebar (minus the message that appears in my regular Sent Mailbox).  I just moved these to the Sent mailbox and will wait to see if they appear there (in the sent mailbox) once it has processed this action.

I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

  • I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

    My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
    With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
    BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
    Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
    Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
    The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
    I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

  • Emails Disappeared from Inbox

    Have lost about a years of saved emails from my inbox....I DID NOT delete them.  One day they were there the next they are gone.  I have settings on account and phone set to 'never delete'. Comcast foreign operators are of no help and eventually 'hang up' on me.....Poor service...They say can't get them, too bad, so sad.....Now if I was the NSA I could get them!Any way to find them or some other tech number to bypass the robots on the 800 number???Can't afford to lose anymore important emails, so if cannot be resolved, may look elswhere for a provider. 

    Most often email disappears from Comcast's "Xfinity Connect" webmail Inbox because an email program (ex: Outlook, Mac Mail) or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) using the POP protocol downloads the mail and removes it from the server.
    Check all mobile devices and email programs on all computers. The missing mail may be in the Inbox of one of these. If necessary, change the Comcast password for the affected userID to prevent mail from being removed. You can change your password in "My Account" (https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/UserSettings/) under "Users & Preferences" / (username) / "Basic Settings" / Username / "Change password". Once you identify the offending device or program, change its settings to "Leave a copy on the server", and make sure that a "Delete after xxx days" or similar setting is not active.
    The "Email Deletion Schedule" settings in Xfinity Connect do not protect messages from being removed by email programs or mobile devices.

  • Why do my emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2

    The emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2? The only way I can retain them is to move them to the Trash box.

    Hi Venks,
    I'm not sure if it's the same issue but have a look at the thread below:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=56357
    My inbox had emptied and the sent/draft/outbox folders had disappeared from the mailbox.
    I hope this helps.

  • Emails disappear from iPhone with exchange

    I have gmail set up with exchange and after a period of time the emails disappear from the iPhone, but remain on my computer and gmail account. I have changed the 'days to sync' to no limit, but no change. I have also changed the 'show email' setting to the max (200 messages) but nothing changes.
    Thanks

    UPDATE - the emails have not reappeared! It must have taken a moment to re-sync

  • Extract email addresses from email header - Sender (From) - Mail

    Hi!
    I would like to extract email addresses from email header from field "Sender (From)" and from email body in Mail at the same time.
    I saw only scripts how to extract from email body.
    I get emails asking for some informations about product and many people don't include their email address in the body, so I have to extract from email header as well.
    I would like to extract email addresses from whole email account, separate alphabeticaly, delete duplicates and save it (separated by comma) in text file.
    This I would use for sending massive email to all customers. 
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8.
    Do you have please somebody script for extracting email addresses in the way:
    1. select mail account
    2. run script
    3. save email addresses to txt file
    Thank you for help and advise!

    Hi Neville!
    Last time I was writing basic programs in Turbopascal in 1996.
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
    1. I switched off in Mail "Use Smart Addresses".
    2. I changed the path to my account in both commands:
    Command A.
    i=~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com # Input file path
    o=~/Desktop/ # Output file path
    n=`date "+%y%m%d%H%M%S"`-"addresses" # time stamped file name
    grep -rh From: $i | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > $o$n
    Command B.
    grep -rh From: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"
    3. I write commands in TERMINAL.
    result of Command A:
    List of couple emails same like before switching of "Use Smart Addresses"
    I answered it already above:
    It can extract to .txt file only email addresses from email header which includes after the name as well email address.
    Example:
    From: Neville Hillyer <[email protected]>
    If there is in header only the name without the email address then it's not extracted (email is visible after secondary click on the name)
    Example:
    From: Neville Hillyer
    I just checked that most of emails I have has in the emailheader only the name without the email address so I miss most of email addresses.
    Result of Command B:
    >
    And nothing going on...
    4. I tried the same in AppleScript editor
    Result of Command A:
    Syntax error. A unknown token can’t go after this identifier.
    I changed the path but I still get syntax errors
    (instead of i=~/Library... i put i= Users/muzaa/Library...)
    Result of Command B:
    Syntax error: A “from” can’t go after this identifier.
    grep -rh From: /Users/radimmuzikant/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"
