Mail deleting inbox older then month

Hi,
i've got a mbk with lion os x, and im using the mail app to sync with my email account via IMAP.
the mail just deleting masseges from the app and on the server, and not touching the sent masseges ...
please any help!!
thanks

My only suggestion is to STOP using the built in Mac Mail program and switch to something that actually works.
There are numerous posts everyday about problems with the Apple Mac Mail program. IMHO it is one terrible piece of software. But then I only used it for a short time then switched first to Outlook, which I didn't really care for, then to Thunderbird which I use on both Mac and Win PC and am very happy with.
Good Luck.

Remove e-mail in deleted items older then 5 days

Hello, we need to clean up the deleted items folders of our users. We are using Exchange 2010
We have decided to clean up all mail older then 5 days in the deleted items folder.
I have created a retention policy tag.
- Tag Type = Deleted Items
- Age limit = 5 days
- Action to take = Delete and allow recovery
I have also created a retention policy and added a test mailbox
- Assigned the retention
I have ran the Start-ManagedFolderAssistent -Identity "testmailbox" cmdlet
It seems to delete all mail in the deleted items after 5 days the policy is applied?
I have deleted an e-mail yesterday on 30th of april. So it should expire on may the 6th?

Hi,
The retention age for items in the Deleted Items default folder is calculated based on the date of delivery unless the item was moved or deleted from a folder that doesn't have an inherited or implicit retention tag. Here is an article about how to calculate
retention age for your reference.

Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
I would appreciate you help on this issue.

The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
"MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
And thank you for answering my queries.

E-mail delete shortcuts?

I'm finding the number of touches slowing me down when I'm deleting e-mails on my new z10. I've been using an iPhone 4 for a while and decided to switch because I'm tired of the unbelievably poor experience I have with iOS devices in a corporate environment - don't get me started on how bad calendar management works on an iOS device!
Anyway, I've ready about how to do multi-selections and then deleting a group of e-mail, but the way I typically process e-mail is to look at the e-mail and then delete it if I don't need to keep it, so multi-select doesn't work so well. The way I'm used to doing this is looking at an e-mail, deleting it and then the e-mail client typically goes to the previous or next e-mail so i can delete the next one.
On the z10, I have to touch the e-mail, then touch the over-flow icon, then touch the delete icon and then it takes me back to the e-mail list where I have to touch the next e-mail, touch the over-flow icon, touch the delete icon, etc..it takes me 3x the number of touches to delete e-mails individually.
Are there any shortcuts to delete an e-mail without using the overflow menu first? If not, there should be! Or at least an option to go to the next email after deleting - then I'd only have 2x the number of touches instead of 3x...!
Thanks.

Best way to delete emails, is to Select and hold an email then select more and select all your emails you want to delete in one shot. Also if you want to delete or mark all emails as read, Click and hold the date above the email, a slider appears on the top right to delete all or mark all read.

Mac Mail deleting mail older than 1 month old

Mac Mail is deleting mail, from my Inbox, after 1 month old. I can't find the settings for deletion or archiving. I have not selected archiving either. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Steve:
I think you misunderstood my post. I was not talking about the delete trash setting in Apple's Mail application. Many (most?) E-mail providers have settings in their applications to automatically delete mail. This has nothing to do with Apple's mail application. I know nothing about Mobile Me or Mac mail, but what I was suggesting was that those might have a setting someplace.
Apple's mail application did not, on its own, to delete mail. There is no setting in that application that I am aware of that would cause that to happen.

Mail deleting after one month

mail 5.2 delets inbox mail older than one month. I cant get it to stop. Any sujestions?

I just noticed you are still using Lion. I can't be sure but it seems MtLion has fewer issues.

I can't see events older then 2 months on my iPhone 3GS

I can't seem to view my events that are older then 2 months in my calender. I know I can view it using iCloud.com, but I marked up some events using emoji and now I don't know what the event is! If I turn off sync my calender with iCloud all my events are gone. Please help!

Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Sync and set to further back than you are now seeing

To 31.0. Now when I open an e-mail and read it, then want to return to the Inbox, I now need to click on the List Tabs

Recently upgraded my four PCs running Win 7 professional from Thunderbird 24.6 to 31.0. Now when I open an e-mail and read it, then want to return to the Inbox, I now need to click on the List Tabs at the top right side of the screen, then click on Inbox it means an extra step and extra Mouse movement. How can I correct that? If not, how do I revert back to my previous version of Thunderbird? George G. (USN-USAF RET) Much obliged for your time and effort.

Do you not close a tab after using it? If you close them, they can't accumulate.
I haven't seen any change in TB3.1 in the way tabs work here.
Older versions are available here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
Choose your version, then your OS (win32 in your case) then your locale (en-us I would think). Finally, when presented with something like ''Thunderbird Setup 24.6.0.exe'', right-click it and choose "save link as", then after it has downloaded, double-click the downloaded file to run it and install Thunderbird.
You don't need to uninstall your newer version. Some add-ons may require help to locate their previous versions, compatible with what you've downloaded and installed; Lightning in particular comes to mind.

Mail deleted a current inbox and restored an old deleted inbox. It won't restore from Time Machine, and I'm missing archived emails from the old account. I'm pretty sure there is other stuff missing, but it's hard to tell. Any ideas why it would do this?

Our Mac was working fine last Monday, then Tuesday morning one of our current inboxes was gone, and an old, archived inbox was restored--twice. Other than some trouble-shooting on Tuesday, we've pretty much left things alone as we were busy doing other stuff.
I tried restoring the files from Time Machine, but it didn't work. I followed plisk restore instructions--nothing. It's a mess. We have no idea what would have caused this. We're above average users--we weren't mucking about with anything. It was just so strange.
I went back into Time Machine, and it just makes no sense that I can't restore anything. We're now missing important emails--nothing too tragic, but still a pain in the butt. Thankfully the current inbox that was somehow deleted had a back-up on our email server, but the archived/deleted inbox file that was magically restored had all the archived emails that we kept deleted.
Any ideas would be wonderful.
Thanks!

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

HT3275 I've 1.85TB empty space on my time Machine, but it only backs up to the beginning of the previous month. it should have weekly back-ups for every month before that. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?

I've 1.85TB empty space on my Time Machine, but it only retains back-ups to the beginning of the previous month. I should be able to access weekly back-ups for every month before that until the disk is full. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?
Thanks, Rigby.

If you are using Ethernet to connect your Mac to the Time Capsule, are you allowing at least 2-3 minutes for Time Machine to fully load when you open the application to see your backups?
If you are using wireless to connect, you may need to allow 8-10 minutes or longer for everything to fully load, depending on the speed of your wireless connection.
If you see only white time "bars" on the timeline at the right of the screen, you are seeing temporary backups. Permanent backups are displayed with purple "bars".

Deleted Inbox messages on Mail

hello everybody,
All of my personal e mails on Inbox, Sent items have been deleted because i erased my e mail accounts
Could you give me any option on how can i bring them back on Mail "Inbox"
Thanks Moumou

Before deleting an account in Mail, a warning message is provided indicating all mailboxes for the account will also be deleted but this does not affect any messages that remain on the server.
When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server the account. For POP type accounts, the following mailboxes in mbox format are created when the function is used by the account; INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk Mail is set to automatic).
The mbox files within each account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail and as the warning message indicates, the account named folder along with the associated account mailboxes within are also deleted at that time.
If you don't have and maintain a backup, I'm afraid your options for recovering the deleted mailboxes are not very promising.

HT203768 iPad air ios8 deletes mail in inbox every few days.

IiPad air ios8.1.2 deletes inbox email every few days.

Some where along the lne the Mail app changed from hom many emails you could keep to the lenght of sync, it's been this way at least since IOS 6. It's normal, to free up room on your iPad. Remember just because a email auto-deletes it's not gone, it's just not on your iPad. You can go to your email account onlne to see how many email you have. You can also use the search field if you also know the name. if you live near an Apple Store it might be a good time to stop in and find out why you don't have the option to change the sync amount.

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete? Thanks.

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic. When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also. If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO. This was never before say one or two months before.
The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.
Regards
Venkat

I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD". Now the Trash is empty. I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat
