Mail disappears after read

I had restore my iPad and now when I get mail it disappears after it is displayed briefly in the list. It seems to be happening on my iPhone as well. This did not happen on the pad until the restore. It is an imap account and I have checked all of the settings.

If I have push on the message disappears. If I change it to fetch it doesn't.t happen. The downside it I will have to schedule it to poll at intervals or open the program to poll the servers. I can not imagine why anyone would want their messages to disappear after 30 seconds. It takes my brain a minute to read the message and think about it.

  • .Mac mail disappearing after while. (It is not set to.)

    I have the latest updates to Tiger and Mail.
    That's the case. Mail from .Mac seems to be disappearing after while. I have it set up to store messages on the server (both sent and deleted). I started having a sneaking suspicion when I would go to check for mail that I had previously sent or deleted and couldn't find any of it. Stuff that I KNEW should be there. It appears like Mail is deleting messages that are a month old—even though I have it set to never do this. Any ideas? I would like to stop losing my mail, or not be forced to store it all on my Mac for viewing to prevent it from being lost on the server.
    Is there some other setting besides in Mail. Maybe one on .Mac itself? Because I did not find it.
    Thanks for any help.

    FYI - you posted in the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier Mail & Address Book discussions.
    Have you confirmed settings at Mail > Preferences > Accounts under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences?

  • I have email account that mail disappears after a day or so.

    I have email disappearing after a day or so.  I have a secod email account that the email stays on the computer.

    '''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''' {web link}
    This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up
    and then resets your search preferences and home page
    to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This
    affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

  • Mails disappearing after MacOSX 10.8.4 update

    Following the update to MacOSX 10.8.4, all new emails incoming from any accounts (i.e. not iCloud only) are disappearing. This affects the Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc. With Mail app shutdown, mails are coming correctly (not disappearing) on the iDevices (I can't check on the Mac...).
    Thank you a lot for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Charles

    Thank you a lot! Disabling the rules is the solution (I can't tell whether Apple's Junk Filtering has an effect as mine is Intego's own set of rules (accordingly shown as a specific rule)).
    This precise point should be further investigated if someone has the same problem and uses the built in Junk Filtering.
    Here's what happened to the 200+ emails I received since yesterday (bad for zero inbox ). They all seem to have ended up in the Spam folder.
    Re-building the mail boxes didn't have any effect (just mentioning, so that anyone who would read saves the time it takes...).
    After disabling all rules, nothing seemed to have happened, but in actual fact all files started to show up in the Spam folder (it was empty before, I've checked numerous time).
    Now, here's the strange point (to me at least): files started to appear account per account. First GMail (sorry guys... You know there has to be an account for all the junk newsletters ), then my personal domain, and eventually iCloud (possible reason: they were created in the reversed order (i.e. iCloud first)). But files from an account wouldn't appear before I moved those of the preceding account back to the Inbox (i.e. I first thought to have only recovered one account... The GMail, you understand my disappointment...). Accordingly, make sure to move the first files you find in the Spam, to see if something else isn't coming .
    Voilà. Linc, Thank you again , you rock!
    I hope this might help others with the same issue.

  • Mail "disappears" after a period of inactivity

    Since upgrading to Leopard a strange problem is occurring.
    On returning to iMac after period of inactivity mail appears "open" in dock and menus appear at top of screen. However, the application just won't display anything at all. Only solution is to shut down and reboot.
    Anyone else come across this? Any ideas?

    I think this is what might be happening :
    I think in both cases, when he is playing it overnight , his machine might be going to sleep , and his network connection to server migth be goign off. Since network connection goes off, NetConnection would be closed resulting in NetStream going out of scope which results in NaN for NetStream.time.
    You can basically display error message when you connection goes down by using watching for NetConnection.Connect.Closed message in your NetConnection handler. And you can either assign display of NetStream time visually as 0 instead of NaN for better user experience.

  • Mail Disappeared After Shut Down

    A retired friend bought a new 21.5 inch iMac 5 months ago and twice in the past week his mail has completely disappeared. Fortunately, there is a TM backup and I have used that once to restore everything for him. The first event also took away all Address Book and iPhoto contents.
    Yesterday, he was unable to Quit or Force Quit Mail. He shut down and restarted and once again all his Mail content has gone west.
    Does Mail need to be reinstalled?
    All suggestions welcome.

    Ah, forgot, silly Apple has hiden the home Library folder in 10.7 & up...
    Access User ~/Library Folder in OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Lion
    Use “Go To Folder” and Open ~/Library/ Directly
    All you need to do is hit Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop  (or Finder > Go > Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory in the Finder. When you are done, close this window and it will no longer be visible.

  • Mail disappeared after archiving to iCloud

    I archive my important emails to icloud. Just now I selected a few mails and moved them to archive on icloud. They disappeared. I cannot find them in any mailbox. Please help how to retrieve them??? I thought the idea of icloud was to save mails securely. Is there any way to access emails stored on icloud?

    They should've been identical as I kept them in sync. But appears like iPhone has gone out of sync recently for mail only. Calendar and contacts are alike everywhere. Will have to do a deep analysis to check what exactly is happening.
    A copy of my email goes to gmail. But there could be emails sent using cloud.com email address which aren't stored anywhere else. I still don't understand why an option to archive in iCloud or send email as iCloud is given when it isn't even reliable.
    I think you need to slow down and try to understand how iCloud works.
    The mail part is a standard Imap account, if it is providing different sets of data from client to client it is NOT working.
    How does a copy of your email go to Gmail.

    Are you sure that you are talking about iCloud, there is no mechanism available for you to 'keep them in sync' so tell me, what are you doing to 'keep them in sync'?
    Contacts and Calendars are DAV servers and according to you they are working, so the issue is with email only? Correct?
    You still have not answered the question I asked about whether you backup or not?

  • Droid Incredible Activesync losing e-mail contents after reading

    I have the HTC Droid Incredible. Using HTC's standard e-mail program witth Activesync, I constantly lose the body of my e-mails after they are read.
    It's not always 100% of the time, but happens more often than not.
    Please help!!

    It sounds like you have a software issue on your phone maybe from an application downloaded. I recommend performing a hard reset on your device to clear out the settings. Once you do this your device should no longer experience this problem. The steps to perform the hard reset are below:
    Performing a factory reset via settings
    The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
    1. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
    2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
    3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
    Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
    If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a
    factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
    1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly
    press the POWER button.
    2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME
    DOWN button.
    3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
    4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.
    If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft” reset instead of a hard/factory
    reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After
    re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Folders In Mail Disappeared after Leopard Boot

    I downloaded Leopard to my wife's computer, and her mail, internet settings (including bookmarks) are all intact, however, I had to download twice to my MBP before it went through, now my bookmarks are gone, and folders I had created in mail are gone as well. If I search through spotlight, I can find the old messages in those folders, however, I can't seem to find their path as if they didn't exist. Please, can anyone help me restore my mail folders?

    Did you try clicking on the "on my computer" arrow in Mail? It starts up with that arrow closed, if you click it and open it you might see folders there you had previously had on your computer in the old Mail app. I did this and found all my old stuff...

  • HTMLEditorKit SCRIPT content disappears after read

    I am trying to read and display an HTML Document using JEditorPane and HTMLEdiorKit. I am overridding javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument.HTMLReader class to read HTML document. My javascript content(functions) disappers when I read the html document. It only displays
    <script type="text/javascript">
    </script>
    All the content of the script disappears.
    I tried to register script tag with a tag action class, still I can't see content.
    I tried to use the orginal HTMLReder. It didn't help.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If your script code is wrapped by a comment the HTMLEditorKit is going to throw away the script - it doesn't understand any scripting language. If you take out the comment tags that wrap the script content, you'll probably see the script content as plain text. I'm not sure if there's a way to tell the HTMLEditorKit not to throw away comments.

  • Strange things happen: mail disappears/appears/is shown wrong

    Strange things happen: mail appears in "drafts"/mail disappears after "send"/title-content doesn't match
    I'm having some Problems with mails that get worse and worse
    First thing I remember is, that I found mails in "Drafts" that weren't drafts, but just mails I received or mails I sent.
    They were kind of aliasses of the original. Deleting them in "Drafts" deleted the original in its Mailbox too.
    Re-indexing Mail (removing the envelope.index files etc.) fixes it, but it reappears very soon
    Next thing:
    When I send an email, it happens sometimes, that it is not send (no sending sound, no copy in the "Sent"-Folder). It just "disappears"
    Re-indexing Mail fixes this: When Mail is ready with reindexing, it sends those messages (kind of funny, when I do this reindexing after some weeks... kind of...) - but it will reappear
    The third thing happens more seldom:
    When I klick on the emails name in the list, I get another Mail shown in the Previewbox. Doubleklicking the mail shows the wrong mail too.
    Re-indexing fixes this, - but it will reappear
    Well after having re-indexd my Mail library 10 times this week, I want another solution for this...
    Mail Version etc:
    Mail: Version 3.5 (930.3)
    1 Pop account,
    1 .mac account (i don't use)
    Mail, after being sent, is moved to "Sent"mail never to be deleted
    Mails Spam Filter is active (and working fine, by the way)
    about 80 Mailboxes for old Mails I got, partially nested
    More than 4000 Mails in the whole Database
    Things I've already done:
    Reindexing mail, as I already wrote (Quit mail, removing the files "Envelope Index" and "Envelope Index-1", and the folder starting with "Mac-", then start Mail again, that tells me to klick "ok" for reimporting the mail)
    I deleted a bunch of emails with attachements, so there are just a few with attachment now.
    I emptied the "Sent" folder and put those old emails in 3 Folders (each of them is containing about 500 mails now)
    Thanks for your help in advance
    PS: Yes, I want to keep all these old mails...

    This is not a security risk - a setting change you should make.
    1.     Take a look in settings - i message and see what the 'recieve at' addresses are declared.  If you do not want to see phone messages on the pad, clear that number out of there - and just use your e mail address.
    2.     Since you used to have an i phone, that device is likely still registered   go to your i tunes account and de register the device.

  • Why do my pictures disappear after I send them in an email?

    Actually, it's my hubby's problem. He has an iPhone 4S using iOS5. His job requires him to take pictures and email them back to the home office. The last few days everytime he emails the photos, they disappear from his camera roll. And the last time, the email wasn't received in his office, wasn't in his "Sent" folder and the pics were gone from his camera roll. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    In Mail, Control-click on the Inbox and choose Account Info.  In the resulting dialogue, is the Inbox said to contain any messages?  If setup as IMAP in Entourage, and as you report the messages are in the Inbox (which in IMAP resides on the server) then they must still be on the server.
    What I describe above is for normal IMAP operation -- I am unfamiliar with RackSpace; can you provde a link to it description of operation?  Some implimentations present a subset of messages and can be impacted by what device or program first connects.
    I would suggest quitting Entourage, and checking to see if the message still disappears after reading in Mail.

  • 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!

    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.

  • "On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after Yosemite install! HELP!

    "On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 install! What should I do?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
