Mail from Apple wipes out mail program? Possible Virus?

Howdy
This morning, while my wife was reading her email, she received, via the mail program in her Macbook Pro, an popup from Apple, telling her about upgrades in the Apple Mail Program. She clicked on the popup, read the info, decided there was nothing new, clicked out, and all of her email was gone.
I have been looking around her computer-her account info has been deleted, and another account, with her name but a @me tag substituted.
Also, I checked the mail folder in her library, and they are blank.
Any thoughts, help, will be appreciated.
Thanks

Mail under Lion is 5.1
I do not know of any upgrade since Lion.
Please gieve us some more info about the message and your (yours wife sytem).
You can try to look into the basket to see if the content of the Mail folder is there.
Can you enter her Mail server (iCloud or MM or amithing different from Apple) and see if messages are There ?
Probably you find some.
What do you mean by "tag" in @me substituted (surry for my english).

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

When accessing my itunes library of music I get the notation on all songs ...The song could not be located because the origional file could not be found...how can this be corrected or did Apple wipe out all the files

wien I access Itunes I get the notification....the song could not be located because the origional filoe could not be found...I have over 2000
songs in my library ....Does this mean they are all gone....How can one retrieve them???

This missing song thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Once you've sorted out the broken links I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

Why is it taking so long to get an iPhone 5s ordered directly from Apple?

My daughter ordered an iPhone (5s, 32gb, black) directly from Apple on the first day possible. She still has not received it. I ordered one from ATT and rceived it in two days. Does anyone know whether this wait from Apple is normal?

She should call the Apple Store ask ask about status. With the iPhone 5S now showing 2-3 week delivery, I would think it unusual and an indication of a problem with the order that a 5S ordered the first day hasn't yet shipped.

How do I get my email in Apple's Mail program from old drive to new drive?

I can not determine from Apple's support info how to export my email in Apple's Mail program from the old drive to the new drive.
The old 60 GB drive was at 55GB and had 3 volume structure problems. It would not backup all files using SuperDuper!, but I could backup the user files onto an external 250GB Tintanium Fantom Drive. So I installed a new 120 GB in the iMac and took the old 60GB drive and put it in an external firewire drive housing, which mounts, runs and will even act as the startup drive. I installed 10.3.9 on the new 120GB drive. I was able to export the address book over to the new drive with no problems, but I don't know how to export the email.
There does not appear to be an export function in Apple's Mail program (This sounds kind of ???).
I have a lot of email (#???) in a lot folders and subfolders (60) in addition to the inboxes, plus all the sent mail (2,000)

The Mail.app preference file (which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences) is located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
All Mail.app mailboxes and other data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
With the Mail.app quit on the new hard drive, place a copy of the Mail folder from the old hard drive at Home > Library on the new drive. If there is an existing Mail folder at Home > Library, this will replace it.
Place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the old hard drive at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive (and there should be one if you have launched the Mail.app on the new hard drive), this will replace it.
Launch Mail on the new hard drive and the Mail.app should be completely restored or identical to the Mail.app on the old hard drive.

I'm new to Apple's Mail program (I've used AOL for years). How do I configure Mail so once an email is read it automatically disappears from the list of emails? Conversely, how do I mark "keep as new" an email I've read but I want to remain on the screen?

Right click on the email in the left hand pane. Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state. Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured. You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders. The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

Is it possible to wipe out iMac with ML upgrade and THEN reinstall SL from disk, back up with TM?

Iv'e been going round and round with my iMac ever since Genius bar employees "upgraded" me to ML while replacing Seagate HD per the recall. THis is a late 2009 27-inch iMac that came with SL.
What I think might solve this once and for all is to completely wipe out the hard drive and THEN reinstall SL from the disk that was shipped to me by Apple.
Here's what has happened thus far:
1. iMac was working fine, but per emails from Apple, replacing the Seagate HD that came with the computer was advised. Made appt, took it in after backing up to external hard drive.
2. Picked up the iMac first week of August. Found that they had upgraded me to ML.
3. Proceeded to put back contents of backup from July 27 (before the hard drive was replaced, all saved in SL).
4. Immediately after back up was reinstalled, realized that iPhoto contents (ALL of my saved files/photos, movies, etc, both work and personal) are inaccessible. Also, fan will not stop running (and this is true even when there is no user signed in, ie, no CPU-intensive programs running). Programs that worked in SL no longer work with ML (iWeb, etc).
5. Have been in contact with Apple numerous times, and finally got a senior tech to work with me via phone. I had a SL disk borrowed from a friend (the 27-inch was a replacement for original iMac that was defective and never received any install disks with new iMac Jan 2010). Per instructions from Apple tech, backed up iMac, then tried to reinstall with SL disk. When the progress wheel only kept spinning, he said that the disk I was using must be incompatible and I waited for a replacement SL install disk to be mailed to me.
6. Called back when I got the new SL disk, and then we tried it again. When the progress did the same thing, ie just spinning, Apple tech said that I must have a hardware problem and he instructed me to make another appoitment with the Genius bar. I did that and am supposed to take it in tonight.
7. Apple tech said it must be a hardware problem, that the super drive would not read the install disk, BUT, the super drive (actually both of them, one inside the machine, one external super drive purchased separately) has no problems reading audio CDs. It is ONLY the SL reinstall disk.
That, along with the continually running fans that have also been deemed by Apple tech to be bad hardware (which were both fine before the upgrade to ML) make me think that it is the ML software that does not work properly with this late 2009 iMac. It was designed for SL, not ML.
I suspect that if the hard drive on the iMac is completely wiped clean and SL then reinstalled with the disk that was mailed to me, this would put my machine back in order with SL as the OS.
I'd like to try that BEFORE I take this iMac back to the Apple Store. I have the back up from July (before ML was put on as the OS) and that's what I'd like to put back on. I can more easily save jpegs that were savde after ML was put on as the OS than I can save everything (one by one) that was on this iMac from Jan 2010 till July 2013.
Is there anyone who can give me a yes or no, whether this would work or not? Wipe it all out, start fresh with a new SL installation and back up from that July 2013 backup?

Yes it is. That is why you got a set of reinstal disc with your Mac. For just this purpose.
But if you have a 2009 model it might of come with Leopard. But you should still be able to use that reinstall disc or the retain Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade to SL to restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
First you need to boot the system from either the original reinstall DVD or the retail SL DVD and use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as One Partition. you MUST do that to get rid of the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition. Once that is done there should be an option to Restaore your Mac from a TM backup. Have the backup drive connected before you start the system from the Reinstall DVD, either of them whichever you chose.

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
Thanks.

If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I can't open mail, the header bar is grayed out and program as itself doesn't open

I launched Mail as I ordinarily do. It opened up, but the header bar was grayed out. Finally I managed to open program via Message/Go To/ Inbox, but no messages appeared in any of my mailboxes (even though I had several still in there from today). Nothing is happening, I even can't quit teh mail program.
Please suggest guys what to do. I have to use my gmail account and it's soooooo uncomfortable.

There is a forum for notebooks. One for Mail: OS X too.
There is a setup wizard for Mail but I doubt that is the issue.

Gmail - you can remove an account, re-enter etc and it will rebuild and synch with what is on the server.
You can always use Chrome as well and login that way and Chrome gmail extension gives you a separate application.
Can also be used from any mobile device - tablets etc.
I suspect it is your system, your home mail library, prefs, and you should try to insure your backup was current but don't backup now, repair the hard drive, try creating a new account. A Guest account would not help.
No, if you can't quit you need to do some system maintenance.
And you are on j10.6.8 and not Lion.

How do I import .eml emails, etc. from Windows Mail 2011 (online version) to Lion mail program?

I have tried to find out how to import my stored .eml emails from my previous PC into my new Mac Mini Lion Mail program, so I will not lose them all. I have tried going through Thunderbird, but all it keeps giving me for choices is Apple Mail and Eudora. Then the Mail on the Mini only gives me choices that do not include the .eml files. Please help! I have a gazillion emails saved and don't want to lose them! Thanks very much!

I see you are running Leopard. So maybe ask your question in the Leopard forum area.
