Mail messages appear then disappear
Hi All,
We have been having so strange issues lately with emails coming into users mail clients and then dissaperaing right away. We are running OS X 10.6.8 server as our primary mail and authentication server, as well as iChat and iCal. the server it self is running on a Mac Pro with 64GB of RAM, 2 Xeons, and 2TB Raid 1 on a raid card w/ cache enabled. This has just started recently and is now starting to affect business, so I need to find a solution to this. I have check in our mail logs and I am only seeing the emails that have been acctually delivered to the users, no record of the emails that have been disappering, the logging level is set at Information and all AV and spam filtering is disabled.I have also disabled Junk Mail Filtering on the client side which helped for a bit but dosen't any more. I have poseted my postfix main.cf and master.cf

Gmail can only access from a server that supports POP3 -- .Mac does this, but conceptually it is counter to the philosophy of an IMAP account, which with Mail you have set your .Mac account to be.
In setting up Gmail to access an account (remember it does so as POP) you have a selection of whether to leave messages on the server or not, and furthermore the instructions for such Gmail access talk about the possibility of too many messages on the server. But that concept is based upon the server being a POP server. Yours is set up to operate as an IMAP account, and in an IMAP account all messages and indeed the entire Inbox resides on the server. If a message were removed from the server it would be removed from the Inbox you are expecting to view in Mail on your Mac. The symptom would be just like a "winking out", as Mail remembers the message was once there, but suddenly it is gone!
Access via Gmail is just like accessing from another email client or device.
More info, and confirmation of what you find, please.

E-mail messages appear, then disappear.
I've been having e-mail messages show up in the inbox then disappear. It's been happening for months. I use a lot of rules and folders.
Steps I've taken:
– Rebuilt every mailbox in Mail
– Today I deleted the Envelope Index but the problem keeps happening
– Contacted SpamSieve to see if it might be their add-on (they don't think it is)
I archive all of my e-mail at Gmail so I can see that every day a few messages get through but don't turn up in my inbox. Any suggestions? Are there some more things like the Envelope Index that I can trash and hope for a fix?Andy,

Messages Appear then Disappear
My iphone 5 (ios 7.1.2) has been acting up. It says i have two unread texts but ive opened them all. Earlier today i got a couple texts that showed up on the lock screen preview, but then disappeared when i opened up the messages. Emails show i have 989 but often will clear to zero, once i hit the email app it has to redownload and often times crashes. Some of my texts come in and there isnt a name or number on it either, so i have to scroll through the convo to figure out who its from.
ive tried resetting my network settings and did a hard reset and backed it up via PC, the number of two unread texts is still there.Andy,

The full message that was almost impossible for me to read was: “'''Firefox will close now. Please standby while BetterPrivacy checks your hard disk for LSO cookies…'''”
To see if your message is the same or different:
1. Open Firefox
2. Press and hold the Shift key with your left hand
3. Close Firefox
4. Then, as soon as the message appears, press the Print Screen key with your right hand
5. Open the Microsoft Paint program, go to the Edit Menu and press Paste
6. A box with the full message should appear. If not, continue to open and close Firefox and hit Shift/Print Screen until you time it just right and the message will appear when you paste it into Paint
There would not appear to be any security concerns with the message posted above
There may be security concerns if your message is different. -
Mail Messages arrive then disappear.
My emails are being pushed to my 3g iPhone but they almost immediately disappear from my Inbox. Any solutions?
I had same problem. Was the settings in the email account online, needs to be set to leave a copy on the server. If not, once you download them to your computer, they won't be there for Iphone to get, so it syncs to empty box and empties same from your phone.

Exchange email appears then disappears after one read !!
Since installing OS 3.0 on my iPhone 3G my Exchange email appears then disappears after 1 reading.
To get the emails back I go to the account settings and switch the Mail off (which removes the account and the folder format) then I switch the mail back on then the email are back again !!
(if it can get through to the server, as I often get a Sever error message)
Anybody else seen this problem?
I don't use the Contacts or Calenders as currently through iTunes sync they seem OK.
Note my Yahoo and other POP accounts have no problems.
cheersProblem Solved- Atleast for me
After going through this issue for more than 3 weeks, I was able to find the solution. For me emails continue to disappear but it was totally random. Calendar and Contact also disappeared but not as often as mail.
The problem resides on Exchange OWA server. On IIS I have connection limit of 10 connections which we was causing this problem. After increasing the limit problem is gone.
STEPS
Search the logs under C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\HTTPERR for "503 1 ConnLimit", if you find this line then the solution is to increase the limit.
To do that, go to, IIS Manager, Right click on Default Website (where OWA is hosted), properties and go to Performance tab. Under Website Connections, increase your current limit. Restart IIS Admin and try IPhone mail again. -
My iPod player within my iPhone isn't working properly when playing videos it will start then stop after a few seconds and also the sound bar appears then disappears, and when playing music no sound is coming out when I'm on a call I can hear everything properly and also on loud speaker! What can I do to remedy this? Please help!!!
If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first. Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

then restart the device.

I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen. Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox. When I return, they are gone. Any idea why this has started to happen?

Running cs4 w/mavericks. won't print from PS. Printer icon appears then disappears -
This started recently. I think I was in the middle of setting up a custom size for my epson 2880 when something happened. Now when I try to use the photoshop controls printing command, I'll hit print, it will start to respond, the printer icon appears then disappears and then nothing happens. I can print from other apps, I use quad tone rip for b&w and am now printing color using color sync, I can also print from LightRoom, but no luck through PS.
Has most recent drivers.
Yes, it will print from a PDF – it will print from preview, Acrobat, Word, OpenOffice - Anything other than InDesign it seems!
Tried deleting and re-installing printer. No change, unfortunately. -
during upgrade my iphone, it restareted then cannot run. Only the apple icon appears then disappear. I cannot restart it or do any thing.
Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again -
Images appear then disappear in mail on 10.4.4 intel duo core mac
In mail, running 10.4.4 on my new duo core intel mac, i am getting images in mails beautifully - and then for no explicable reason they disappeare and revert to code - and nothing i do will bring them back - i have already checked the box for download images from html in mail:preferences:viewing window.
Mac duo core Intel 2006 Mac OS X (10.4.4)I simply DID NOT have the correctly dated BACKUP SET!
So NOW with all the data, properly in my Netscape Mail "local folders" I can easiliy (but slowly) convert them to Mac Mail.
Sorry for pulling the trigger too soon, It works perfectly if I use the proper backup data.
DUH! on me! -
How do you 'mark all' mail messages and then delete in Iphone 5?
I cannot do a mass delete of my emails any more in iphone 5 - how do you get the edit functions back onto the screen once you have 'marked all' the messages?
As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like. -
Incoming Mac Mail Messages Arrive, then Dissappear
Have had my iMac for about a month, month and a half. Email has been working fine. Starting yesterday, when I open Mail, I see the new messages coming in at the bottom. By that I mean, the number of messages arriving. I also happens to show 0KB/sec. Just now seeing 33 messages arriving, but then they are nowhere to be found in my inbox. The email account is my ISP account cox.net. Like I said, never a problem until yesterday. Went out to another yahoo account and sent myself an email and my number of messages increased to 34 incoming messages when I hit "Get Mail". But, the messages just keep disappearing.
Where are they going and how do I get them back and fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.HI,
Not sure if this applies but...
*If messages disappeared from mailboxes*
If all the messages in a mailbox have disappeared and are missing, it’s possible the mailbox contains too many messages and attachments. This can happen with mailboxes whose sizes range from hundreds of megabytes to more. Although you can’t see your messages, they’re still in the mailbox.
Here are ways to redisplay the messages:
If you have multiple email accounts, view the inbox for each account separately, instead of viewing the Inbox mailbox. The Inbox mailbox displays messages from all of your accounts, and all of those messages together might be too large to be displayed.
Quit Mail and then reopen it.
To avoid this problem again, keep your mailboxes from getting too large.
Also, make sure your account is "online" .. To take just one of your accounts online, choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take account name Online.
