Mail Archive folder showing empty

I posted this question yesterday but didn't specify that the Archive folder I was referring to was in Mail. I can't understand why the folder is showing as empty on both my iMac and MacBook Pro (Mavericks) whilst the same folder shows all its content on both my iPad and iPhone (IOS7). I have tried Rebuild, but that doesn't work. Has anybody out there got any suggestions? I would be so grateful.

Oh and any idea why some of my TRASH folders are shown as a trash can and the others as a circle?

Outlook 2013 installed in English only- But Showing a Strange E-mail Archive Folder, in a Different Language

Dear Outlook IT Professionals:
Has anyone experienced seeing a strange e-mail archive folder (in a different language, other than English), within an English only version Outlook 2013?
Basically, I found an e-mail archive folder, which is in another language, in my e-mail Inbox; that I did not create, and its properties seems to be hidden. Therefore, I am unable to see the archive folder's attributes. This Microsoft Outlook
was installed the English language only, but the language of the archive folder is either Japanese, or Chinese.
I have disabled RSS Feeds, even before seeing the strange archive folder, then I just verified that it is still disabled; so this cannot not be the culprit.
I don't want to automatically assume that this is a security issue, so any logical technical explanations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Security programs may cause such issue, please temporaily disable all your security programs to check the issue again.
In addition, we can start Outlook with /cleanviews switch in case it is caused by a corrupt view. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews in the Run dialog and press Enter.
Also try /resetfoldernames switch to check the result. Use it with the same way above,
outlook.exe /resetfoldernames.
Hope it helps.

Folder shows empty but is not empty

I installed about hundred applications. I put it in folder Games. In one moment this folder showed empty. So the applications are there within but is too much and the folder can't show it.
If I open games it shows empty and when I return EVERY FOLDER get empty. Like the memory sucks.
I can't uninstall it because Applications Manager IS A F**** GARBAGE. It stop to work after 50 application and give "Memory full".
With "Batch uninstaller" I uninstalled some of it but folder games is still show empty. The only change was after I opened games the other folder stop to show empty.
I found /t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/How-to-Remove-quot-stuck-quot-Apps/td-p/692348 and did this step to remove maually Java applications from Games folder BUT when I install it again it says that I still have it and ask me to overwrite it. And after reinstallation I cant find it. I suppose it goes AGAIN in folder games.
How to make folder games to show his content? I don't have option "delete". Or how to reinstall the applications again but after reinstall to be in other folder like "Applications" for example, not to go in Games automatically?
If you fix it with hard reset because as you know this is vivid defect => I did not break any condition in my warranty as I used properly this product => According EU consumer's law if same defect appears more than 2 times the producer is obliged to replace the product OR to return the money.
So, I DON'T advice you to give me a solution as "hard reset" unless if you are not sure that this defect will not appear SECOND time after the reset which I deliberately will install hundred of your OVI applications and will put it into ONE GAMES FOLDER just because I CAN without to break any item in the user manual compliant with EU consumer laws.
Please fell free to solve the defect of my product in warranty under EU law terms which is 1 month. All further issues could be arranged by authority of EU consumers protection laws if my party conceive for necessary

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

Help with Mail Archive folder

I'm getting close to my iCloud limit and want to free up space by removing/archiving emails; but not sure excatly how the Archive folder works.
If I drag and drop (say) all of 2011's email into the Archive folder - does it remove them from the server, but still keeps them readable and searchable on my Mac?
I assume they won't be readable or searchable from my iPhone/iPad but I doubt I'll ever need to go back three years on my device.
Or is there a better/easier way to remove mails from the server but keep them on my Mac?
Thanks!
Andy

Yes, that might be a bit confusing. I have more than one iCloud account in use, hence I have more than one iCloud archive folder. However, these won't do the same thing as I described above, using these folders will just move mail from the inbox to an archive folder but it will still keep it in iCloud and therefore use up your space.

Mail freezes and shows empty mailbox a while after installing ML

Hi there.
I'm having massive issues with Mail since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (and updated it to 10.8.1).
I've been searching through the support, the web for hours but nothing matches my issues specifically. Sorry if I write a long message but I will be as accurate as possible.
Mail was working fine at first for a week after upgrading to ML, then yesterday, while checking my emails, one of my accounts (Gmail set up as an exchange) couldn't connect, and had the small thunder icon by its side. I checked the password and settings, everything was fine. De-activated the account then reactivated it, still impossible to connect. And when I went again in the Mail preferences... the spinning rainbow came. For a long time.
I had to force quit.
Here started the real trouble.
I restarted the laptop, and relaunched Mail. The mailboxes appear on the left and the messages are listed with a preview, but the right panel says "No message selected". Everytime I click on an email it hangs for a while then shows it, but if I click on another mailbox or even choose a subfolder of the same mailbox, the right panel goes back to "No message selected" and stays like this, even if I click on a message.
In other words, I can't browse my mailboxes anymore.
Sometimes it shows the new email download bar in the bottom left hand corner, but the new emails never show up. Every mailbox seems empty.
Opening the preferences brings the spinning rainbow until I lose patience and force quit.
Clicking on the check emails button does not react.
Typing a new email also makes it spin forever.
The "flagged emails" category says there are 12 emails in it but remains empty when I click it.
I tried to be patient, and after a LOOOOONG while (15 minutes), 2 out of 4 mailboxes show the recent emails, but 2 of them (a google exchange and a google IMAP) keep freezing and don't show anything, as well as the flagged emails category.
I've tried various things found over the web (deleting com.apple.mail.plist, deleting Enveloppe Index). Nothing helped.
The weirdest thing is that is worked fine so far after upgrading and it started freezing out of nowhere, not after a software update or even after downloading new emails.
Last precision, ML was a full install on a brand new hard drive, then Migration assistant brought everything from my former, snow leopard internal hard drive.
Everything was migrated successfully.
How can I fix Mail and... check and write emails again ?
Thanks in advance guys, I'm lost.

...to continue: I've deleted the Mail folder from the Library and the 'com.apple.Mail' folder from the Containers folder in the Libtrary; created a new account from scratch and guess what? Still happens. As soon as I select accounts in the preferences the spinning ball kicks in. Can't find what is corrupted anywhere. As I create a new account (I've tried different email accounts), I've trawled the Mac looking for what's new or updated. Nothing seems relevent. Gah!
Please somone, know something helpful and pass it on.
Cheers,
SNaP.

Two Gmail Addresses, which email does the archive folder show?

I have 2 gmail accounts (account A & B). I have account B forward messages to account A through Gmail (not through the Mac Mail program).
When I open the mail program and look at the inbox or archive top level folder (which show both A and B account), which email message am I seeing, from the A account or B account? If I hit delete, is it deleting from the A account or B account?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
By default, all messages (email, SMS, BBM, etc.) are put into the main Messages icon/app. Some prefer this "unified messages" approach, others prefer to separate things. When using two accounts from the same provider, that could indeed become more challenging to remember which you are working with. Fortunately, the BB provides the ability to split things out according to your desires, and there should be no issue integrating two GMail accounts to the same BB (but for what you are concerned about, of course!).
Your 9860 should have the option to allow you to dictate what shows in Messages:
Homescreen > Messages > > Options > (Main Message List Settings) or (Inbox Settings) or (Inbox Management)
Uncheck what you want to suppress from Messages, enabling a separate icon for those you uncheck
Good luck!

How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for your time.

Mail Archive Folder

Ok, about a week after installing Mavericks, Mail has decided to move ALL of my incoming mail into a special folder called "Archive". I am not sure if this folder existed before, but it is making Mail basically unusable for me. I have no rules set up in Mail or on any of my gmial accounts.
Help.

An update to Mail was released yesterday that may improve compatibility with Gmail.
Gmail is an intentionally broken implementation of IMAP that often causes problems with Mail. The problem seems to have gotten worse in Mavericks. My recommendation is either not to use Gmail at all, or to access it through the website. You may also get better results from another email client.
If you insist on trying to make Gmail work with Mail, the following links may help:

My cox e-mail mysteriously disappeared - showing empty "no mail"

I have an iphone 5 and have had the cox e-mail set up from inception. Yesterday morning, my account was showing as "no mail." I refreshed the screen - got nothing. Shut down the phone 3 or 4 times to no avail. I checked the settings for Cox's IMAP, and tried changing the ports, and still got nothing.
Does anyone know a) why this happened, and b) what a solution is? Cox, of course, is blaming it on iOS.

Hi teeEMdee,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your inbox for your Cox email is empty and it sounds like you are not receiving any other incoming mail either. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.

My Applications folder shows empty. How do I restore it ?

My Applications folder was missing from my dock, so I opened it in finder and tried to drag it to my dock. It would only let me drop it on my desk top. I thought I could drag it from there to my dock, but then It looked like I was making copies of1000's of files so I x'ed out of it and now when I try to open the applications folder in fider it shows it to bwe empty. How do I restore the contents to it?...

You started to copy, not move, the Applications folder. Delete the copy. Drag the original to the right side of the Dock, next to the Trash icon (not into the Trash.)

How to open and display and mail archive folder?

We were running Novell and GW for a number of years. Recently, we have migrated to Microsoft and Outlook. We have a number of GW archive folders that I now want to access. I understood that I could retain an installation of GW on my PC and although no longer connected to the server, I should be able to browse and open the archive, to retrieve these emails
Have tried this, but they dont display. When I go to check mailbox size, it is seeing data as the it reads the same file size as the folder of archived email - so I think they are there somewhere!
Any suggestions please??

provide more information. It should work. But only if you installed GW
in remote or caching mode.

Why can't I copy files from a Mail Archive folder ON MY MAC to another folder?

I created a folder ON MY MAC named Archive. Now I want to move all the email to another folder and all I get is an error message.
I am aware that it was a mistake to name the folder Archive, but that's in the past.
I have tried exporting, but not all the emails get exported.

Click on the drive, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it.

What happens to messages in the Archive folder if you choose Archive

Click on the Archive folder to view messages in that folder. Select one or more of these messages. Choose Archive from the Message menu.
Where did the message go?
I did this with a thousand messages that I wanted to keep, but now they're not to be found. However, if I Get Account Info, I can see that my Archive folder contains 1,422 messages...however, in Mail, the Archive folder appears empty. I have used Mailbox > Synchronize command, but no change.
Where did my messages go and how to I get them back?

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

My folder is empty but my playlists are full?

I was trying to create a playlist inside my folder, and now the folder shows empty content with the two playlists that still contain the music. I cannot sync this folder and its music to my ipod. When I try to sync, It ignores that folder and its contents. I cannot move the playlists anywhere. I cannot copy the contents of my playlists back to the folder.

I think I've been trying that(2), but when i press OK a pop-up says that I don't have the authorization to do this, and when I try it a second time, nothing happens. And I'm not sure how to set up a new windows user, i tried removing all the iTunes software and all that and reinstalling, but that didn't do anything, and the playlist was still intact.
Edit* There's also a little lock icon beside the ipod information at the bottom of the iTunes screen when i have my iPod selected. it tells me Used: 1.50 GB and shows the little bar and then Free: 335.5 MB and then this little lock. ??????????
