Mail disappears when transferred to folder On My Mac

I am having trouble losing pieces of mail when I transfer them to folders that I have created on my mac. Today I moved one, checked to see if it is in the new folder, and it is not in any folder at all!
Advice, anyone?

Thanks Elko,
In my special mailboxes for my mac.com account, store junk messages on server is checked, delete is set to never.
This tells me that your junk messages will be with you forever. You aren't deleting them from the server when you download them, and you aren't deleting them ever, from your computer. No reason I can think of to keep junk, on the server or on your computer, but maybe I'm not thinking right.
Also move deleted messages to Trash is checked, permanently erase deleted messages 'when quitting mail' is set.
This is good, HOWEVER if you are having a problem with mail disappearing, change this setting so that they aren't deleted when you quit, but maybe a day later in case you need to retrieve them from the trash folder.
In another account that included messages that disappeared, only move deleted messages to a different folder is checked, erase when one week old is set.
So have you looked in the trash folder of this account for the mail that is disappearing?
In the Advanced Tab, checked boxes for mac.com acct. include enable this account, and include this account when checking for new mail.
It also says keep copies offline, all msg.s and their attachments.
This tells me that you have a different version of Mail than I have. My choice that is closest to that says to remove copy from server after retrieving a message, nothing about attachments. What version of Mail do you have?
For the other account, (not mac.com), checked boxes include enable this account, and include this account when checking for new mail, and remove copy from server when retrieving a message is set at right away.
What does this tell you?
I guess I should have asked you in the beginning, HOW are you moving messages to other folders (and then not finding them there?) Are you selecting the message and then using the move to command from the drop down menu? Are you sure you are putting them in a folder on my mac?
Have you rebuilt your mailboxes lately?

If you delete email on your desktop using iCloud, they will be automatically deleted on the iPhone and iPad.

Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
Any help will be appreciated

Mike,
We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
1)
Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
2)
Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
3)
Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
4)
Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
Steps to clean boot machine:
================
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup> Disable all
Reboot
Thanks,

Original mail disappears when forwarding if I inadvertently attempt an edit of the original.

This problem occurs when I am creating a reply to an incoming mail. After hitting the reply button, I will sometimes inadvertantly mix up (click on) the original mail message rather than the response I'm typing. This happens when my desktop is crowded and because of the way the reply message stacks on top of the original. Anyway, If I inadvertently attempt to edit or delete any part of the ORIGINAL mail, it just disappears in a flash, without warning, as if it has been deleted. Now, I know that original mail cannot be edited but why does it disappear? My reply message remains OK but the original disappears without a trace. Where does it go? Can it be retrieved?

I figured that part out already, thanks.
What I posted was an attempt to discover why the original mail disappears, where does it go, and can it be retrieved?
It's really annoying to have the original message just disappear on those occasions when I inadvertently to click on the wrong window.

HT201301 when transferring dJ recordings to my mac, where or what folder am I supposed to drop them in?

When transferring my dj recordings on to my mac and using file sharing as instructed, I get the diologue box "where do you want to save the file to", is it
onto the i-tunes folder or where ? DJ does not specify. App is the algoriddem DJ for i-phone.

The dialogue box does not provide an option to select where to save the file to after being prompted with "where do you want to save the file to"?
If not, have you contacted the app developer for this app? The developer should provide a user guide or troubleshooting via the website for the app.

My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac, replaced with Mac default image. please help?

My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac...replaced with default apple image. does anyone know a fix?

First, try to delete the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart your computer. Finally, change the wallpaper and see if it stays after restarting your computer
If that does not work try
open the Applications Support folder and then look for the Dock folder and open that. There are two files, one of which is "desktoppicture.db". Move this file to the trash and securely delete it. Restart the computer. A new "desltoppicture.db" will be created on startup.
Finally, reset your desktop picture again using System Preferences.

Why does all the formatting in my composed e-mails disappear when I send them?

Hi! I've noticed lately that whenever I type up an e-mail with formatting (like changing the color of text, in particular), it looks fine when I'm typing it, but as soon as I send it, the formatting disappears. I bcc'd myself a few of the e-mails that I've sent recently and this is what I am finding. The formatting looks fine when I send it, but what the receiver actually gets seems to be lacking much of the formatting (especially when I change the color of text, it seems to always revert back to black in the sent message).
About a month ago, my motherboard fried so I am now using a newer system running Vista. This is a new problem for me so I'm naturally wondering if this new system has anything to do with the problems I'm having. I have looked at all the OPTIONS and ACCOUNT SETTINGS in Thunderbird and I cannot find anything that might either explain or correct this formatting problem.
Can anyone help? Thank bunches!!! Lauren ;-)

Dear wuergler,
Thank you for helping me to resolve the formatting problem I was having with Thunderbird. I checked all the settings as you suggested and your option #4 did the trick. I offer only a very slight amendment to your instructions to make them less confusing (for me, anyway---I realize that the menus may differ somewhat in different versions of Thunderbird), as follows:
2. In "Preferences/Tools > Options > Composition > General [tab] > Send Options > Text Format" should not be "Convert the message to plain text" and in the tab "Plain Text Domains" the recipient domain should of course not be listed.
3. Before sending a new message [but while still in the in the new message, not your Inbox], "Options > Delivery Format" must not be changed to "Plain Text Only".
4. "Tools > Options > Display > Formatting [tab] > Colors > 'Allow content to choose its own colors, instead of my selections above'" should be checked (default).
Thanks to christ1 as well. Glad we finally figured it out. Cheers! Lauren ;-)

Mail disappears when send clicked

About 3 days ago email I have composed began to disappear entirely when I click Send. It does not go into Sent, Draft, Outbox or any other mailbox nor does it get delivered. I just disappears. This includes Replies as well as New messages. Incoming email is received normally although I've been having some problems with Rules not being used properly but that could be totally unrelated.
There are no error messages...none. The ONLY thing I can find is a message in Console like this for a test email I just tried to send: "9/13/12 9:31:36.898 AM Mail[1443]: deleting invalid message from outbox". Clicking Inspector for the message provides nothing that I understand and cannot copy nor can I Grab it to attach. We also have an XP PC using Outlook Express, the same email provider (RoadRunner) and account that sends email without a problem.
Does anyone have any idea why this happening? Seaching the web or these Support Communities for the Console message provides no useable results.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Mail, if you click on the Sent mailbox in the Sidebar, and then on Mailbox in the command bar, and then place the cursor on the Command to Use This Mailbox for, are the choices black or gray? What you describe would most match needing to choose the Sent as the destination of message sent from Mail. Is not required with all accounts, but can be the cause of this.

Recipient Address in Mail disappears when Redirecting

When redirecting an email in Mail (v3.6), I type in the 'To' address and send but it refuses to send, comes back with the message with no recipient address in the recipient panel, and has a message saying it can't send because there's no recipient. This happens over and over. Ultimately the only solution I've found is to make a new email using the content of the mail I was wanting to redirect (which of course is perfectly adequate but a bit of hassle when the Redirect function is meant to work and I have several mails to do). This has only started happening since OSX 10.5.7 update (using Combo updater) and only seems to happen using Redirect, not Send or Forward.
Any help much appreciated, thank you.

Seems that upgrading to 10.6.2 has made this issue ALMOST disappear - very seldom happens. Strange that it happens intermittently now.

Mail disappearing when pressing send

When I press send on an email on my iPhone, the email often disappears compeltely. It does not attempt to send, and is not in the Sent Items or Outbox (Outbox is not visible).
This has happened a number of times on accounts which do work, and happened again this morning when I definitely had a full 3G signal. I have my email accounts set up to use only one SMTP server (the o2 server) with all other servers set to off. How can I retrieve missing email and prevent this happening in future?

Hi Popshop. You’re welcome.
Unfourtunately, it didnt' help.
What do you mean? Sure it helped. It was meant to determine the scope of the problem, not to solve it, and now we know that the problem is system-wide, not some kind of data corruption confined to your home folder.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
If the problem persists after having fixed all filesystem issues, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Mail disappeared when acct deleted

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help.
I deleted an email account which is inactive and I am no longer using.
When I did this, all emails in the inbox for this account, and in all all other mailboxes associated with the inbox for this account, disappeared from the mail app, replaced by blank space, even though all these messages had already long ago been downloaded by the computer from the server.
Does anyone know where these already received incoming messages reside on the computer, and how to view them?
Thank you,
Neil

What you saw is exactly what I'd expect to happen when an email account is deleted.
If you don't see any remnant of that account in "yourhomefolder"/Library/Mail, then your only option may be to restore that content from a backup.

In the Calendar app in Yosemite, how can I prevent the event's details window to disappear when transferring focus to another app?

When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
This is kind of annoying.

It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD, It's DVD Player. Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD. You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

HT3459 Why is my added text disappearing when transferring a quicktime video from my Mac to my iPad 2?

I have a .mov file. (Quicktime video - edited in Quicktime Pro) I transferred it to another computer, via it's public folder, so it would be on the computer where my itunes library is. No problem. I transferred it to my iPad through iTunes. The video transferred and plays. Soundtrack that I added is also intact. Problem is, I have added text to the video and for some reason the text does not show up on the ipad (but does on my computer). Any suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

ask your question on forums.iis.net. This has nothing to do with C# or asp.net since your code is not even getting executed.

HT201317 issues seeing all photos when transfering from iphone5 to pc/mac

I'm having issues transferring photos from my iphone5 to pc/mac. I have over 200 photos on my phone however when I go to transfer only the last 20 or so photos are visible to transfer. why is this the case? it was working ok before now I cannot access all my photos from the computer. please help!

Whenever you plug in your iPhone to your Mac with iPhoto installed, iPhoto will automatically open up a screen giving you the option to download the photos in your iPhone...At least that's how it's set up in my computer. But I believe that's for photos taken by the iPhone.
Besides what said above, there is a iPhone Transfer Column which includes the tutorial about How to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac.
Hope it can do you a favor.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Error 16 message when transferring Photoshop Elements to new Mac. What am I doing wrong?

I am attempting to transfer my licensed copy of Elements to a new iMac. I've copied all the relevant files/folders from the old Applications folder to the new, and on trying to open the program on the new machine receive an Error 16 message (uninstall/reinstall). The original applications was a download, so I don't have an install disk. I'm obviously missing some files - any suggestions? Many thanks for any help!

Do as it says - reinstall it properly.
