Mail folders suddenly empty

Hi,
I am using Gmail on my mac, mailprogram Apple Mail, Now suddenly when I open Apple Mail the entire mailbox is empty and the same occur when I open Gmail in chrome.
ALL folders are empty with one exception. a couple of incoming mail (the last ones) are still there. I have tried to send and receive mail and it seem to work but I can't get back all other mails. I looked at the trash folder it is also empty.
What to do?
Best Regards
Kamal

I think they are gone for good due to Disk Corruption, 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 these 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.

Do you have a backup you can restore from?

Mac mail inbox suddenly empty

I have an old imac running on snow leopard, and I just got my mom a new imac with lion for christmas. She has two yahoo email addresses, so we set up Mail to import both, and it's been running fine for about 2 weeks now. Then suddenly tonight, one of her inboxes was completely empty. I tried syncing, taking it offline and back online, restarting Mail, I even deleted the account and re-added it, but it's still completely empty. The other email address is still working fine.
I've never had an issue like this with my own computer, and I just spent about an hour searching for solutions on google, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been praising mac for years, and now my mom's first one is super buggy (this is just one of many issues she's been having -- another annoying thing is that it's losing the wifi connection every time it comes out of sleep.) I feel like it's such a letdown!
Anyway, I'd be very grateful if anyone knows how to fix this!

First, I don't know if you are aware that the free standard Yahoo email accounts does not support POP or IMAP to a native mail client like Mail. To gain POP access, you have to pay $20/year. I checked, Yahoo asks you to upgrade for this privilege. Now assuming that you paid, I would disable and re-enable the POP access by logging into your Yahoo account via a web browser.

Folders Suddenly Empty?!

I was playing with m.necraft mods using the terminal commands below that I saved as a text file:
FIRST PART:
cd ~
mkdir mctmp
cd mctmp
jar xf ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
SECOND PART:
rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.*
jar uf ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./
cd ..
rm -rf mctmp
While doing that, I had my Documents folder, my Files folder (/Users/--/Files) and Desktop opened in finder. For some apparent reason, these folders' content disappeared. Although, I, myself am not sure whether it was deleted because my Trash was empty, my FREE hd space was not higher (as there was plenty of files 20-40GB lost in total) and there was no "deleting ..." window.
My guess is that when I was playing with the commands, I forgot a line or two OR I only did the second part. Point is, after playing with the terminal, I can still see the "mctmp" folder that was in the Users/--/ folder. And I made that folder gone by now.
Thank you for your help.

Additional notes: I have used this command plenty of times. I can proudly say over 100 times, and only this time has it gone wrong.

Mail 4.5 folders are empty after 10.6.8 reinstall.

Hi Guys,
I need advice about Mail 4.5.
I've been obliged to reinstall ALL my data.
On a brand new hard drive, I did a clean DVD install of 10.6.5, and then a clean Software Update install of 10.6.8, in my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 MB of RAM.
I have NOT been able to rely upon my Time Machine backups (long story).
Instead, I've been obliged to do a raw copy of all my data from an external hard drive.
Everything seems to be back where it was except Mail 4.5.
Mail launches fine, it can see all my accounts, it can pull down new mail, and I can see all my Mail folders, as evidenced by this screen grab:
The problem is that ALL my Mail folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk, etc) appear to be empty.
So, for example, the Mail folder called 'Newspapers' shows that it has 20,418 unread messages within it.
However, when I click on the 'Newspapers' folder, I can't see ANY messages, either read or unread.
Instead, I just get a blank white screen.
All my Mail accounts are running on standard POP configs.
No IMAP complexities, or anything like that.
I've installed EXACT copies of these three folders, all of which worked fine before I was forced to reinstall all my data:
- Users/Name/Library/Mail
- Users/Name/Library/Mail Downloads
- Users/Name/Library/Preferences
I've also repaired Permissions in Disk Utility, and pulled restarts.
In view of the fact that Mail can see my messages, but won't show them to me, I'm stumped.
Your wise and kind advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Best,

Hi Softwater,
Thanks for your kind and swift response.
It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
I've got to get my e-mail history back.
Thanks.
Best,
Michael

IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Thank you.

Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

*there's no reason to be paranoid*
Says Mulder .
Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

HELP! My Inbox, Sent, Junk & trash mail folders are completely empty.

Please can someone help me with this ... all my mail messages have vanished - apart from the archive mailboxes where I store messages from 2009.. 08.. 07 etc. So that's my Inbox, Sent & Trash all empty. Is there a way I can get these back please?
Cheers
Ant

this keeps on happening.....every handful of weeks my computers will all need Enable This Account re-checked in Mail's preferences because I'll suddenly see that the entire Mail program is empty
why does this keep happening?

What do you recommend if local mail folders empty after migration?

I have successfully migrated user data from old macbook to new macbook (both mavericks). However, my local mail folders are only empty folders. Did anything go wrong? I could simply export and import them from the old macbook, I know. I can probably also easily retrieve them from my backups. I just wonder whether anyone else had experienced this and what you recommend as best procedure now. Looking forward to your replies!

Oops... found the solution:
I select folder by folder, go to the mailbox menu and select rebuild. Mails are all appearing again!

Mail folders turning white and empty of messages

I was rearranging a couple mail folders in our mail program Version 2.1.3 (753.1), and at some point in time I noticed a folder was white instead of blue and all the messages I had saved inside it were gone, as well as the messages inside the blue folders within the white folder. Please help me find them, as they are very meaningful (all are congratulations from friends and family on our engagement and wedding while we were living very far away...) Thanks.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Lost mails while moving mail folders

I was reorganising my mails into mail folders and suddenly I lost all mails (many folders are empty).
In the specific I created a new folder called "projects new" in which I tried to put in all the folders and subfolders contained in an old "projects" folder. Something went worng as the programme was not able to copy the mails and their folders and subfolders. The result is that all folders I tried to move into the new folders are still there but empty.
Any advice?

First duplicate the entire Mail folder for backup purposes (~/Library/Mail)
Now choose each mailbox one by one and do a Rebuild from the Mailbox menu

Apple Mail account suddenly offline, smtp offline

iMac 27" (late 2009) updated to Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 and Apple Mail 8.0 (1990.1) 17th October 2014.
Mail accounts in Apple Mail where working as years before until Yesterday, 3th November 2014. Suddenly 2 out of 3 accounts where offline showing the warning triangle icon on the right. Command "go online" and "syncronize" has no effect. Activity in Mail is showing no try to connect. Looking into the account config I see that the SMTP are "offline".
I checked everything and compared to the settings of the one account which is still normal working. Everything is identically set up. Only differences are the domain names, username and pwd. The domain names are on the same external virtual hosts and have same configs. The on the iMac faulty accounts are working on iPad and iPhone like ever and from the same internal network. My hardware firewall or the external mailserver can not be the reason.
I deleted 1) SMTP config, 2) whole mail account, 3) all corresponding keys in keychain and was setting up from new. No chance, they show SMTP offline and do not go online in IMAP. Next was trying to give account #1 the SMTP from the working #3. The SMTP #3 shows fine but near the inbox of account #1 i have again the warning triangle. No go online, no sync, no action in the activity window.
I go setting up Mail with these accounts in a new user. Mail was totally empty as I started config of two accounts. After doing all they where at the same point. No connection possible.
Why is this happend suddenly and after more than 2 weeks after Yosmite update? Why is one account working, two others not anymore?

Sorry, just found the details. Here we go:

Contents in Documents Folder Suddenly Empty

I'm a single user and I found that today my contents in documents folder suddenly empty. I also noticed that my free space doesn't have any change (the documents folder contents contain of thousands SVG, Ai, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPG, files). Unfortunately I don't have time machine, I just bought this mac for about three months ago. This is so frustrating.
I tried to:
-check my trash bin, nothing found
-search my files over spotlight and finder, nothing found
-restart my mac, nothing happened
-verify disk permissions, found one invalid permissions, fixed
-verify disk, no problems found
I tried another solutions:
in terminal (ls -ael ~/Documents)
ls -ael ~/Documents
total 24

Tried recover through diskdrill (both quick scan and deep scan)
BUT NOTHING FOUND what's in my documents folder.
What would cause the contents of my "documents" folder to suddenly disappear?
Right now I'm scanning my Mac if there's any virus. I'll update soon if I found any.

There is not malware involved. It's extremely unlikely that you would have any Mac malware, though the scan may well turn up some Windows malware attached to e-mail messages or something similar.
As to what the problem is, that's hard to say. One possibility is that you have somehow accidentally moved them to a different folder. Since Spotlight does not search everywhere and could be handicapped if something is wrong with the search indices, try searching for one file whose name you know with certainty using EasyFind.
Unfortunately, whatever may have happened, if those files can no longer be found on your hard drive and cannot be found by data recovery tools, they are gone for good since you don't have any backups.

Issue with emails being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders

Hi, I am experiencing an issue where emails are being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders when the weekly Sunday night purge of the Yahoo Trash folder is carried out by Yahoo. These are mails that have been moved from my inbox via the iphone mail app.
I have a similar problem with Outlook 2010 on my laptop but not with Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
When I move the emails from my inbox I have noticed that using Outlook 2003, the moved email is left in my inbox in "strikethrough" mode whereas on Outlook 2010 it is deleted from my inbox. I subsequently purge the marked email from my inbox in 2003.
I am able to see and access the emails in the folder I have moved them to until after midnight on Sunday when they dissappear. The emails moved via 2003 are ok and not lost.
Funnily enough when using an earlier version of the iphone mail app I remember that I could see emails in "strikethrough" mode in Outlook 2003 when they had been moved via the iPhone mail app but you don't see that now.
It feels like some sort of pointer issue to me ...... any ideas on how to stop this happening?.

This is now fixed !!!! I am not sure how though :-((
I reported the problem to Yahoo and in the process of them investigating the issue my sub-folders suddenly became invisible via my IMAP connection and then also were invisible on-line following a log out and a log in. After my initial panic, I contacted Yahoo who were able to restore my complete account. Since then, the problem has gone away.
I have been testing this for two weeks and all is working perfectly from whatever device I use to connect to my mail (IMAP or via my browser).
Phew!

Mail is suddenly running REALLY SLOW !!??

Does anyone know why Mail would suddenly lag?
1. Takes forever to load emails (never did this before)
2. Mail boxes show up empty - then eventually reload.
3. Sent mail shows as "still sending" - but the receipient has already received
it on the other end.
4. Does anyone know how to re-install Mail (only) w/o installing the whole system? Then reloading all mail files?
Is there something seriously wrong?
Thanks Miles

I have had the same problem. Mail runs OK for ages but as soon as you try to send a large file to somebody it freezes, then duplicates the email several times and started to behave erratically.
It seems to do this especially if you use another application such as iPhoto or pages. I think the system just gets in a bit of a muddle. The only way I have found around it is to go into sent messages once you have completed sending the e-mails that you want to and deleting any that have large attachments associated with them. Make sure you then go to the trash and delete them from here as well.
Hope this is useful?
Let me know.
Andrew...
P.S. There has just been a security update released that includes updates that effect the stability of mail, worth downloading didn't seem to correct the fault with my mail system.
