Mail deleting messages daily instead of using Mailbox Behavior to keep on server for 1 Month

I have a Mailbox Behavior for Trash set to:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox
Store deleted message on the server
Permanently erase messages when: One month old.
But it is not respecting the latter. The messages are deleted daily. I think this is a recent (Mavericks) gift.
Anyone having the same problem? Any solutions out there?
Thanks.

POP accounts will only give you control to server settings at the inbox. If you never remove it from the server, it will download all messages when you log into your account from another computer. This could be a problem with thousands of messages left on a server.
For IMAP, your inbox will atuomatically sync to the IMAP inbox, so what you do in Mail or Webmail will reflect the change at the other.
For the other mailboxes, storing messages on the server in Mail settings basically syncs the IMAP and local mailboxes like the inbox does. So, if you trash a sent message in Mail, it will trash it at the IMAP site.
If they are left in those mailboxes, then the server setting in Mail will control how long the remain in those mailboxes unless you move them or delete them manually.
If not set to store on the server, the local mailbox will not sync with the IMAP. So, deleting a sent message from the local sent mailbox will not delete the sent message in the IMAP sent mailbox.
Some accounts like GMail have settings at their site that will let you further control how mail is handled.
You can make settings to archive messages automatically when deleted from the inbox or sent folder. I believe that is the default setting in GMail. That would be what you want to save all your mail. That would keep your inbox and sent mailboxes clean. Look at your IMAP site to see what settings you can make there.
In GMail, the "all mail" is just a reflection of all messages kept and archived. You have no settings control of this mailbox on your mac in Mail. But, you can view the "all mail" under the IMAP folder in Mail.
You can still set up a smart mailbox on your mac in mail to show the messages in the "all mail" mailbox that are greater than a year old. Only those would show up in that smart mailbox and you can just select all and delete without having to visually look at all the messages in the IMAP "all mail".

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
System: 10.6.4

Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

I deleted a message from iCloud mail. It says it is saved on the server for 1 month. Can I get to it?

I deleted a message from my iCloud mail (and emptied the trash) on my MAC that I didn't mean to. In my iCloud IMAP settings it says that deleted mail will be saved on the server for 1 month. How do I get to it?

Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page there. Open the Trash mailbox. If the message is there you can move it out. If it isn't, then I'm afraid it's gone. The 'delete after x days' setting in the Mail application is over-ridden by the automatic deletion in the iCloud server - I have an idea that's 7 days but I'm not sure.

I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months. It suddenly stopped working. When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does. I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting. Mine started working after the update.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

Apple Mail - Delete Messages Come Back

User is saying they delete messages and then they re-appear as new in their inbox.

Hello, is it OP or IMAP?
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox behavior tab, what are the settings there?
it seems that it's not deleting from the Server, just locally.
Might be some messed up files.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Mail deleted all of my POP3 account mailboxes

So I woke up yesterday to find that 2 email accounts (POP3 accounts), their mailboxes and all of their messages gone in Mail.app Version 3.6.
My Mobile Me account is the only mailbox that is still there. The missing accounts are still synced on my iPhone though. So I've been emailing from that the past day.
Does anyone know what happened here?
I have Time Machine running, perhaps if it's a preference file or something I can restore it from the backup?
I'm a little freaked out because the 2 email accts that disappeared are for my freelance business and have a lot of important info in them. So, in addition to setting up the accts again, I need to recover the stored messages in those mailboxes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Restore the com.apple.mail.plist file, after checking at Home/Library/Mail that the two POP Account folders are present. Quit Mail before restoring the file, btw, then relaunch. Probably only the preference file got overwritten for some reason, but since MobileMe is also in System Preferences, it was automatically restored.
Did anything happen to interrupt Mail's completion of housekeeping tasks, or did free disk space get low for some reason. How much free disk space do you have the hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition? If a lot, would you have been using any video or audio apps that temporarily use lots of space?

Mail: Delete message on server when I delete it in Mail

Dear all,
I just recently switched from Windows to Mac and especially from MS Outlook to Mail. In Outlook I can tell it to only delete a message on the server when I delete it in Outlook. This is very helpful, so that when I use WebMail I do not see all the junk mail messages and other emails I deleted. Now in Mail I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Go to Preferences, Accounts. Select the account you wish to configure. Click the Advanced Pane. Make sure the checkbox is checked for 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'. In the drop down just below that, choose 'When moved from Inbox'. This will let you retrieve a copy of the messages to your Mac, leaving a copy on the server. As long as you leave the message in your Inbox, the copy will stay on the server. If you then delete your local copy, or move it out of the Inbox, the next time you retrieve new messages from the server, the messages you have moved will be deleted from the server. The key is that there has to be at least one new message to retrieve. This works for me most of the time, since by the time I process the messages I already have, and then check for new messages, there usually are new messages. If you have a mail account that is not that active, or you just want to remove the most recent messages from the server, use the Get Info method above.

HT204389 Mail & Text Message Sounds Gone When Using Siri

The confirmation "vwoop" or "swoosh" that would annunciate a message or text being sent by Siri stopped working. I am blind so this feature is important to me.
I took my phone to an AT&T corporate store and they had a replacement sent to me. The problem remains even with this new iPhone, and after further investigation it appears this may be related to an iOS update, as others I have spoken with also say they lost that sound after Siri sends a msg or text. This phone is running 6.1.2. Is this a bug or what? Will this be addressed in an update?

Just tried that, and no go. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
I got a message from the head of service where I take my Mac for repairs, and he says Rules never work for him, that it just messes up and disappears his messages.
Any other similar experiences?

My mailbox behavior setting keep resetting how do I fix this?

I have an iPad 2 and I just realized that the setting that are working fine for my two Google Apps IMAP accounts on my iPhone 4 are not working so well on the tablet.
More specifically I am trying to make it so that whenever I delete a message it is moved to a folder called "Deleted Message" not the Gmail "Trash" folder. I go and select this in the mailbox behavior setting for each account and correctly back out of the menus by hitting "done". However, whenever I actually delete an email the setting have reverted back to sending the message to the "Gmail/trash" folder. It somehow keeps mysteriously resetting.
Any ideas how to make this work or what I did that is causing it to trip up?

Using one controller as primary DHCP server for 2 or more controllers

Here's my setup
2 - 5508 controllers (40 APs per controller) running 6.0.196.0 (100 user license per controller)
about 80 mixed - 1142 and 1252 APs, trying to put 40 APs on each controller
One subnet connects two controllers together on the management interface on port 1 on both controllers. 10.x.x.x addresses.
Port 2 on each controller (LAG not used) connects to a DMZ via dynamic interfaces for user traffic, 172.x.x.x addresses.
I want to use one controller for all clients to get their DHCP addresses from (no matter what controller their AP is on)
as a primary DHCP server (controller A as primary), then i'd like to point the clients to the other controller (controller B) to be used as a backup DHCP server in case Controller A fails. Also, the APs are setup to have the correct primary and secondary controllers under their high availability setting as well as the mobility group information.
I want to avoid splitting my DHCP scopes between controllers, and I don't have a DHCP server dedicated to this project, so the 5508s should be able to do the job. Or at least I thought.
When configuring the controllers with the proper DHCP scopes, this only seems to work for clients connecting to controller A. Clients on controller B don't get an address from controller A when pointing to that controller, in fact, the wierd thing is that debugging shows DHCP requests going out of port 2 (DMZ traffic) instead of port 1 (management) on controller B. Shouldn't they be going out of the interface that is specified with the DHCP configuration in the dynamic interface? And I don't have "override" turned on in the WLAN configuration so the DHCP server should be taken from the dynamic interface that the user resides on.
Mobility groups are configured correctly between the two controllers and both the control and data paths are up between the two controllers. Another wierd thing, both controllers management interfaces are on the same subnet, no acls or filters, when the mobility groups are configured, controller A can ping controller B, but controller B cannot ping A. The status still shows as UP/UP in the mobility members windows, but they use mPing which seems to work fine. Remove the mobility group configuration and ping works just fine between the boxes. I don't know if this is related to my DHCP issues, but it would seem that if I put the controller A's management address in the dynamic interface configuration for DHCP on controller B, my clients on B should get an address from A's DHCP pool. Controller A's dynamic interfaces all point to controller A's management interface and they work just fine.
I'm trying to load ballance my AP distribution between two boxes, and I'm also trying to have some controller redundancy.
Controller A works just fine, it's in production. Trying to add another controller B to talk A for DHCP is the issue.
Anyone have any clues?
-Blair

I guess i was under the impression that when mobility groups were cofigured, the lease time, along with other client information (mac address, IP address and such), would replicated from one controller to the other controller over the EoIP tunnel. If that's not the case, then obviously I'll have to look elsewhere.
Also, does this mean that it will not work, or just that it's not recommended. If it does work and I have to fix something, at least I can move on with my testing, all while pursuing a DHCP server. It doesn't sound like using an AP as a DHCP server is any better than using the controllers for that same purpose.
Thank you for the quick response.

My daughter created a movie using iMovie, which she has worked on for a month, when trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie...now there is no record of it at all. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

My daughter created a movie using iMovie 11, which she has worked on for a month. When trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie, and while this was running (quoted 13 hours!) she received an error message. Now there is no record of it at all, I have looked in trash etc. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

The file cannot be reloaded in iMovie using File > Open Recent ??
There is no trace of the file in a Spotlight search?
The project files are not under <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects ??
Finalizing creates small, medium and large version of the finished video. It does take a long time, but it should not destroy your project files.
Oh, and you really MUST have a backup of your files. You can expect to lose files if you have no other copies of them.
