Mail Auto Updates and Deletes Email Accounts & Messages

The Mail software seems to automatically update (no pop up that asks "Mother May I?") and I lose all accounts except for the .Mac account. I lose the account info and messages, as well as my preferences for Mail. I have "figured" out how to get everything back, but it takes times and is very frustrating.
Can anyone tell me how to stop this, or fix it? Is it a bug? Is Apple aware of it?
Thank you for your help.

I have 12.5 GB available. I don't think available space is the problem. This has happened consistently over several months - 4 times. I also get a nice little window telling me that the Mail application has new features and do I want to add any accounts.
I have been using macs for almost 20 years. This particular powerbook for 4 years. I have never had this problem before either.
I also checked the modified date on the application itself - it's 1-14-03.

  • Grace Period before Cancelling and Deleting Email Accounts

    I recently change my phone provider to a VoIP phone, but did not cancel my DSL service.  However, once the porting of my phone number occured, Verizon "suspended " account completely.  I have not access to my email, and according to the agent I spoke with today, the account is inaccessable and has been completely deleted.  I can't sign up for "my domain" as one needed to do this before the number porting.
    REALLY?
    With no notice or information, all of our contacts are lost and nothing can be done?  Does Verizon think that punishment of customers who try other products is the best way to get them back.
    As someone pointed out on this forum, "account suspended" clearly means that the account exists somewhere, and all the data surely wasn't deleted.  But the agent I spoke with says it's gone for good.
    Is this how you want to conduct business Verizon?  Is this how you want me to feel after years of using your service?

    Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you.Please go to your profile page for the forum, and look in the middle, right at the top where you will find an area titled "My Support Cases". You can reach your profile page by clicking on your name beside your post, or at the top left of this page underneath the title of the board.
    Under “My Support Cases” you will find a link to the private board where you and the agent may exchange information. This should be checked on a frequent basis as the agent may be waiting for information from you before they can proceed with any actions. To ensure you know when they have responded to you, at the top of your support case there is a drop down menu for support case options. Open that and choose "subscribe".
    Please keep all correspondence regarding your issue in the private support portal.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I just accidnetally deleted email account and there wa sno warining so it went through and I lost all my emails. The email was not Back up. Is there any way how this account could be recovered?

    If the account was an IMAP account your emails should re-appear if you recreate the email account. If the account was POP you hopefully have backup (TIme Machine?) you can restore the emails from.

  • Inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages

    inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages, there are thousands of them.

    go thru all your mail boxes, and delete, all your synced boxes, highlight the stuff you want to trash, click delete.
    Go thru all the boxes and do the delete, then go to your server trash, and delete.
    You canthen go to on my mac and do the same thing.
    This is way different than 10.6.8, and I'm sure there is a much better way to do this, but at least it will get rid of some junk.
    Sorry this all I can offer.
    I'm sure someone who has been working with OS can offer a much better path.

    Why can't I reply to emails on my iPhone 5 - this is a recent problem, I have been able to reply and delete email messages previously.

    A bit more information would be needed to understand what's going on?

    Hi,
    First of all you might want to double check the settings you are using for the POP3 account in Mail with Microsoft's instructions:
