Mail in On My Mac disappeared after Mavericks install

Yesterday, after making a complete SuperDuper backup, I installed Mavericks on my lovely bride’s MacBook Pro Retina (Mountain Lion).
Everything went smoothly, and all of her various email archives in On My Mac subfolders appeared and were readable.
She decided to clean up those old email folders. I created a new mailbox named Archive at the top On My Mac level. Throughout the afternoon, she dragged the various On My Mac subfolders with old mail into the new Archive folder. She stepped away for a few hours, returned to continue the archive process - and the new Archive folder had disappeared. The MBP had not been shut down (and still has not).
I checked Library>Mail. Right at the top, there’s a folder marked “Mail Lost + Found” with lots of .mbox content. Just below that is the expected folder marked “V2” with the bulk of the expected mail components. Under its “Mailboxes” folder, the very first .mbox is “Archive.” All the subfolders she had dragged to that folder yesterday do appear in the “Archive” .mbox.
I hope someone will field a few questions, please.
1. Why would the new Archive folder at the top level of On My Mac disappear?
2. What should I do next? I’m concerned that restarting may wipe out the Archive mailbox and its contents, but I’ve read that a restart sometimes corrects Mavericks Mail problems.
3. Assuming I can get her Archive folder visible again, is she likely to run into the same problem if she continues to drag the remaining 10-15 subfolders into the Archive folder?
4. What, if anything, should I do about the .mbox material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? At least some of it appears to be duplicates of the subfolders in the Archive folder.
5. Is there a better, more stable archive solution for all this mail? It spans years, multiple IMAP and AOL accounts, and is - or was - neatly organized in subfolders by topic in Mail. Would Mail Steward be able to import this mail, keep the mail organized, and be as searchable as the Mail app? Would it be a good solution to import and reconcile the material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? Again, I do have her full Mountain Lion system, including all the Mail, on a bootable SuperDuper drive If that might help create an archive outside of Mail app.
Thanks!

Hi Eric. Thanks for your response.
1. All the non-archived sub-folders already appeared under “On My Mac,” so they weren't hidden.
2. A restart helped, in fact. I first made a copy of the entire Library>Mail folder so I would still have all the .mbox content. Upon restart, Mail automatically created its own Archive. Fortunately, it contained all the subfolders in the manually created Archive mailbox that had disappeared. Apple apparently reserves the term "Archive" for its own use in Mail. I found another thread that arrives at the same conclusion and suggests a fix for a related problem: Re: Deleted my 'On my Mac' folder in Archived mail after Mountain Lion OS X update - all mail lost - how to retrieve?
3. I believe the answer to #3 is yes; she'll need to drag her non-archived subfolders to Apple's newly created Archive from now on.
4. I copied them along with the Library>Mail folder, so I'll have them if I need them.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • Mercury CUDA not enabling when using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 on Apple Mac Pro after Mavericks install

    Been using the same setup since CS5 with the Mercury CUDA running perfectly.

    Hi Wendell,
    Sorry for the inconvenience. NVIDIA is currently working on drivers that support CUDA on Mavericks 10.9 with some of the older NVIDIA cards such as the GTX 285 and the Quadro 4800.
    For others interested, the Quadro 4000, K5000 and GTX 680 ect... work with CUDA in 10.9.
    Best,

    I have latest CUDA drivers, so i guess i am just waiting till a proper update that have the fixes to support my card.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Even if FileVault is not active, an aftermarket SSD may be the cause of kernel panics. Check the manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

    Blurb Book in Lightroom 5 on my Mac disappeared after 3 days of work. Where can I find a backed up copy via Time Machine or anywhere else?

     
    Welcome to the WD Community.
    1) I assume I can  just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
    Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
    2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
    Yes, just run the applications.
    3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
    Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode. 
    5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing. 
    Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
    6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"?? 
    That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.

    Installed Maverick today on macbook pro, then have been unable to back up to Time Machine to my Western Digital 3TB drive.  Last back up was successful just before install earlier today. 
    Time Machine Error "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only.
    and a second message
    Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “My Book”. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.
    First restarting after Maverick install I received an error message that the disk "my book" could not be repaired.
    When I go to get info on the external drive, under sharing and permissions it sayes I can read only, and I cant figure out how to change this everything to try is grey'd out.
    Any help in fixing the problem and understanding the issue.

    I'm also having this issue. I havn't had it before.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

    Is the app checked in the Apps tab of iTunes?  That's how you tell iTunes whether you want the app on your phone or not.
    Otherwise, check the very last screen on the phone.

  • Lost document files after Mavericks install

    After Mavericks install from App Store, document folders located in Dock are replaced with question mark icon; unable to locate files in Trash, iCloud, or Finder.
    While I appreciate feedback on backups, never have had issues losing files before when installing apps from App Store.  Please advise.

    I have the same problem. It just accured today, and i updated to Mavericks several weeks ago. I cant open several folders in Finder but when i right click on them it say that they contain eg. 5 Gbit... But i still cant see/open anything in some folders.
    Also yesterday (right before i realised the Finder problem) my computer was slow and acting weird so I tried restaring it, and after it sayed that my start-up-drive (or somting like that) was nearly full. It wouldnt start propoly after that, but then after a few goes I got it to work... I have no clue whats going on really..

  • "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.

  • IBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, won't open after Mavericks install/update

    Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

  • Mac App store problem after Mavericks install

    I have installed Mavericks, 3 times now, on my MacBook Air. There have been a few hicups but the only one I have been unable to fix is the App Store. It will open, accept my user name and perform updates however it will not allow me to view or download new Apps. If I create a new user that user has full functionality. So the Maverick install has obviously done something to my Mac Store user settings. Has anyone any idea how I fix it?
    Thanks

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • TS3276 Almost After Mavericks installed, I cannot receive mails unless I go to my gmail.

    Almost immediately after Mavercks installed, I have every day for a few hours (last time for 24H and still having it) problems with receiving my mails. I go to Window>activity, seeing "synchronizing "salonistiotou@****l". So, practically I have no email system on my mac unless I go to (central) gmail. Can anyone help me?

  • Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners (Mac OS) after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0

    - recently re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on my new Mac (OSX version 10.9.3)
    - after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 an icon called Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners
    - every single time I want to scan, my printer/scanner Brother automatically chooses Adobe PDF 9.0 as printer/scanner, although my printer/scanner Brother is set as standard printer/scanner
    - did bring the issue under attention of Customer Service who directed me to this website

    Hi Pieter,
    Acrobat 9 has not been tested and is unsupported Mac Mavericks.
    You might face compatibility issues with it.

  • Macbook Air crashes after Mavericks install

    Hi,  I installed Mavericks a few days ago and everything seemed to be operating fine, but today I have had two crashes within a couple of hours.  Computer screen goes black and I have to force quit.  I am not doing anything fancy, just working with Pages to create simple docs.  Other apps running are Safari 7.0, Mail, and the Thesarus.
    The only other symptoms I have noticed is the Finder taking forever to load up files when I ask to open a file in Text Edit or Pages...and one of my little apps (iCheckClock) not keeping time correctly (I have not tried using it today, no use until the iCheckClock people do an update).   I figured the slow finder would get fixed in the next Mavericks update, but the crashing thing is a pain.  FYI, it does not happen when I am trying to open a document.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,  Penny

    RIght, I made that assumption also, and was proven wrong.  I manually changed the icons in the dock for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote myself, and manually deleted the old versions of these from the iWork09 folder in Applications.  I'm not sure why the update didn't change what is in the dock.
    Anyway, I sure hope that solves it for you.  Enjoy your Mac gear and Mavericks.
