Mail Help SOS!!!! Need Help!!!A

Hey everyone
I had just ran into a serious problem. As a result I lost years of important on my mail.
Problem: The current mac mail (that is automatically given when you install- it's in a shape of a stamp with a gray eagle on it) takes my mail from the server (lets say for instant, comcast or gmail) and on to my computer. After a few months of using this "apple mail" I logged into comcast or gmail account and noticed ALL my e-mail were gone/missing/did not exist anymore. *The problem is, is there a way I can use my mac mail AND keep a COPY of all those e-mails on the comcast or gmail server.*
Can anyone recommend an mail application that I can use?

This has nothing to do with a particular mail client you are using. Mail can do this just fine.
you are using POP accounts. you can go to Mail preferences->accounts, select your account and click on "advanced" and uncheck the box to remove messages from server after downloading them.
alternatively, switch to an IMAP account. gmail offers both IMAP and POP. IMAP keeps everything on server and syncs your local mailbox with the server automatically. For example, if you trash a message locally and empty trash, it will disappear on the server.

    I've got a csv file with 125 addresses.
    I'm trying to import them into my address book.
    I jump through all the hoops, fix the headings.
    Then, when I import 'em, they're all empty, all no name.
    Or else address book tries to plant them in existing adresses.
    I do fix the headings. I need to do a mailing. I need to bring in addresses of this group into Endicia. Please please help.

    I'm no longer desperate. Endicia will import the entire list with no problems. I'd still like to bring these addresses into Address book, tho.

  • Mail Adapter Scenario  ----- Need help

    Hi All
    Again with same mail adapter scenarios .
    I am trying to send my e-mail on Microsoft Exchange server to a FTP server .
    So flow is like Mail system->XI-> File system.
    While configuring sender mail adapter , i gave the following URL  imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/InBox as i am using IMAp4 as the protocol.
    Now i have set of doubts and questions for which i need input from you all
    a>I am still seeing my sender communication channel with green light (running ), its not picking up any new mail i came to my inbox. Any reasons why it did not pick up ?
    b> Now to set up Receiver Determination and Interface Determination , i need to have inbound interface created, but here when my requirenent is just to send a e-mail content as XML to fle system , what interface should i use or how should i create a interface with interface mapping or message mapping ?
    c>Any idea whether just configuring a sender mail adapter with certain poll interval will result in a XML message that can be seen in SXMB_MONI txn ? Or do i need to fullly set up my receiver system and complete whole configuration of the entire flow.
    My intent is just to get a simple mail body into XI , how do i achieve it ?
    I gave URL as imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/InBox , still i did not get any XML message in SXMB_MONI txn ..or should i give IP address of my exchange server instead of S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com ? ...
    Can we see a XML message if only a sender communication channel is set up with no receiver ? .. I am just wondering why new mail in my inbox is not getting picked up into XI.
    Thanks a lot to all who helped to me earlier , i guess i rewarded points to all those who guided me : -) and will do same again as promised.
    Please help .
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Rohan -
    Here's what I can tell you:
    - if the hostname is wrong, you'll get a 'UnknownHostException'.
    - if the path (e.g. Inbox) is wrong or doesn't exist, you'll get a 'IOException...  The requested item could not be found'.
    - if you don't configure user authentication, you'll get a 'NullPointerException'.
    This is all within Adapter Monitor - so since your mail CC status is green, we can only assume that your mail host is valid, your path is valid, and your user id/pwd is valid.
    One thing to try, since 'Inbox' is common to any mailbox, try creating a new folder at the Inbox level (e.g. called 'Test1') and specify the URL as:
    imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/Test1
    and see if your CC status is still green in the Adapter Monitor (make sure to look at the ID Cache Notifications and the timestamp in the adapter monitor).
    Outside of this, SP9 is relatively old.  You should patch your XI system as soon as you get a chance - with or without this problem.
    Regards,
    Jin

  • Mail sending error need help, thanks a lot.

    Dear experts,
    I have such kind of trouble several days when I send email via Apple's mail program.
    Meantime my email recieving is fine. The email configuration just one, so I wonder why recieving is OK but sending of email could Not work.
    My OSX version is 10.9.1, and Email server is based on MS exchange 2010.
    Much appreciated if anybody could help me on this issue. Any clue and troubleshooting progress could be shared with me. Thanks in advance.

    Likely you have the sending confirguration wrong.
    Note: i dont use Mail for Ecchange - i run outlook.
    But in any event, exchange is a modified IMAP protocol, and i believe Mail uses activ sync.
    You have independent send and receive cpnfigurations it is perfectly possible to receive fine adn not be able to send.
    Go to mail --> preferneces --> accounts
    Open the exchange account.
    Ender "accpunt information" click on "outgoing SMTP server" (SMTP is the protocol for outgoing mail - where your problem is).
    Pull don the list and reveal "edit server list"
    Now, find your Echange outgoing server and make sure that every single paramater - address, port, security, login, pasword etc is as needed. Ask you admin if needed.
    Alternatively, delete your preferences file and start all over. You should nto lose exhcnage or IMAP mail nt he process.  Thatis in users/you/library/preferences.  To reveal the users/you/library folder requires that you go to "go" int he finder's menu bar at the top of the screen and press option. Magically, Library will appear.

  • IPad mail app freezing, need help

    I've experienced my Mail app freezing twice in last two weeks in the middle of writing a mesage. I can't save it as a draft nor can send it, can't move to another folder. But if I leave the Mail app and go to gmail app it works. Anyone knows what's happening?
    Thank you in forward for your help!

    Have you tried the simple basic things?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app and restart.Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    It is possible that you have an email in your inbox or trash folder that is causing the problem as well. Maybe an email with large attachment? If you have an email like that - try deleting it from the iPad. You may need to do that from the server in your webmail using a web browser if the mail app keeps frezzing on you.

    hi guys
    I am experiencing several major issues
    1) my phone had been resetting itself a lot lately without reason and randomly.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Otherwise, please try this drastic method:

  • Mail V3.6 - Need Help

    Hello,
    Im having a problem when I send email. This problem just started and used to not do this. When I hit send it closes the new email and I can see the pinwheel running in the send folder. About 2 mins later I get a pop up window that asks me to select an smtp server;
    Connections to the server “smtp.me.com” on the default ports timed out.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    If I select the smtp.me.com server then it immediately send the email. I have another disabled account with gmail but it's outgoing server is mobileme's server. How can I fix this?
    Thanks
    Shawn

    Who provides your Internet service? I suggest you use their SMTP server for all outgoing mail regardless of your email account. A particular problem with most ISPs is that they prevent anyone from using servers other than their own. They do this for security reasons to prevent anyone not subscribing to their service from accessing or gaining access illegally. In many cases if you try to use an SMTP server other than theirs then it is blocked. You need not nor should not change the Incoming mail server, btw.
    I use Shaw when I'm in Vancouver. However, my email server is on the US east coast. When I'm here in Canada I use Shaw's SMTP server instead of my usual one when back in the US. Although sometimes my US server will work, oftentimes it does not so it's simpler to just use Shaw's which works all the time when I'm in Vancouver.

  • PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP

    I logged in to my mid 2012 13" MacBookPro with Latest OSX Mavericks and my dock only appears if i click down on the bottom of my screen (I hide my dock so that it only comes up when I hover over where it would be) and when I do get the dock open if I hover over anything it doesnt give the name of it! After playing with this problem for a while I have concluded that wheneverer I hover over something it doesnt appear available the click on e.g. when I click on file on safari none of the options appear blue and available to click. This also makes it impossible to play video games becaues i have to hold down left click to move.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following lines separately:
    killall Dock
    killall Finder
    Press RETURN after each line. The Dock will automatically restart itself. See if that helps.
    If it doesn't help then do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Please help - I need help working with a "curved" scanned image!

    Hello --
    I've been looking here for a while and finally got around to registering because I have a question. I'm sure I have this posted in the wrong place, so don't jump me for that - I'm just not sure WHERE I should post a question / plea for help.
    I have a shape (kind of a wavy 3/4" stripe) that I need to reproduce in photoshop. I was able to take the original and scan it into my computer. Upon scanning, though, the color it no longer solid but actually looks a quite a bit speckled, and the edges of this stripe tend to not be 'crisp" and it need to redfine the edges. I need to repaint the stripe, and it has to remain the same 3/4" diameter all through it's length.
    If anyone can suggest a way that I can take this scanned image and redefine the edges so I'll have a "new" crisp, solid colored stripe, that I can keep the same 3/4" width and then will be able to highlight it and repaint it would be appreciated. I tried highlighting the shape and applying a thick "stroke" around the edge but this just made it worse -- kind of like using a pen on a piece of paper on top of glass -- almost impossible to write or draw smooth! It's for a small model airplane decal, so the edge needs to be sharp and crisp.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    ¨Hi Henry,
    I'd use the Pen tool and trace around the shape in order to create a Vector Path or a Vector Shape. But, you'd need to study the black art of Bezier curves first.

  • HELP!  Need help in restoring APEX application from database backup

    I accidentally deleted many pages from my development APEX environment when I thought I was deleting from QA.  By the time I discovered it, it was too late to do a flash back.  The DBQ I am working with is now trying to recover from a database backup, but we are not having much success.  Can someone point me to any documentation that may exist on exactly what to restore from what schemas?  It is not intuitively obvious what should be extracted and restored?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    I have older exports, but I would loose 2 weeks of work by going back to them. I need to be able to restore from a database backup so I get back my changes. What we tried to restore didn't bring back the deleted pages so we must have done something wrong.

  • HELP!  Need help linking Nano to existing Nike+ account

    Hope someone can help as I'm going out of my mind. I searched but couldn't find another topic like this.
    I had to restore my nano (2nd gen) to its original factory settings in itunes, which erased all songs and data. My Nano is working great now, but it's no longer linked to my Nike Plus account. When I now connect the restored Nano, under the Nike + tab in itunes I cannot check the box to automatically send my workout data to Nike+. The only option is to register. I'm already registered but there isn't an option to link to an existing account?
    After the restore on my nano, how do I link it in itunes to my existing Nike+ account that has all my run data stored? Like I said, the only option on Itunes is to register and that's not what I want to do since I already am registered!
    I guess this would be the same problem if I bought a new Nano so I'm sure this question has been raised before.
    Please help! I need this fixed before my run tomorrow! Thanks folks!
    Scott

    GFF,
    Yes, I checked the link you provided below and couldn't find any topic with a similar problem. I already did my run for the day so won't know until tomorrow if the receiver and sensor gather info but everything appears like it will work just fine. When I plug the receiver in the Nike+ option pops up in the menu and it looks ready to go. It even recognizes the sensor so I think that's okay.
    I did email Nike Plus but they haven't answered yet.
    When I connect the Nano to itunes, I cannot check or uncheck the box to automatically send the info. The only option is to "create a Nike account." I clicked this and tried to just add my existing account and it wouldn't let me saying it already exists.
    There has to be a simple way to do this. Can't imagine you lose everything if you get a new Nano or have to restore one.
    Maybe more options will pop up after my run tomorrow morning when I plug in the Nano to itunes with a run to send to Nike+
    I'll let you know. Until then, any other suggestions would really be appreciated!

  • Charging Help! NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY!

    I really need some help. IMMEDIATELY, TOO. I am going on a trip tomorrow and am planning on bringing my new iPod nano with me. Of course, I realised that the nano does NOT come with an AC adapter, like my previous 20GB ipod did. And here the problem comes in.
    Question 1: Can I use my old 20gb charger and stick it into the nano? Or do I have to go and buy that 30-40$ Adapter meant for the nano at the store? If the answer to that is yes, it will probably make me raging mad- because I am going to be away for a week and I was looking forward to be in sync with my music.
    Question 2: Can anyone help me think of ways I can charge my nano when I go on a trip, if it can't be plugged in to the 20gb adapter and be charged? I really want to be able to listen & charge my music on my trip. I won't have a mac accessible, but there will be internet cafes, hopefully. So yes, I guess I do have minimal acccess to the internet.
    Thank you SO much in advance!
    I really need answers tonight or early tomorrow, thanks!

    If the 20gb adapter uses the usb to dock connector cable, then yes, it's the same cable and it will work. If it's firewire, I'm not sure. The nano doesn't support firewire, and definately won't transfer over it, but I've heard that it can charge over it. You can try it. Both the 20gb and the iPod use the same dock connector port
