Mail moves incoming MobileMe mail to "Inbox" after being selected

My wife has three mail accounts, one of which is MobileMe. Under her Inbox I see the three inboxes labeled with the account names (Optonline, .Mac, etc). When mail comes in, it goes to the appropriate Inbox mailbox.
However, when you click on the .Mac mailbox, and see messages, as soon as you single click on a message it vanishes - however, you do see it in "Inbox". the problem with this is the .Mac messages get lost in the clutter.
Is there something I can do that will prevent this from occurring? That is, what I'd like is to have the same behavior as Optonline - the messages stay in the appropriate inbox mailbox til deleted or moved.

I've been having a similar problem with a single message. I was unable to remove it from the inbox, but not only would it re-appear when I trashed it, but it would add another copy of itself. This happened in a folder I put it into and in the inbox, simultaneously. Luckily, the cmd-x trick worked for me.
After going through the three folders containing the message (the inbox, the folder I had put it in and the trash), I quit Mail. Like it had been doing, it hung, and I was forced to force quit it. When i re-opened Mail, a single copy of the message was in my mailbox. I did the cmd-x, and then force quit Mail, because (once again) it hung on quit. I reopened Mail and the message was there once again, but when I clicked on it, it showed the "this message has not been downloaded from the server" message. When I cut the message and quit Mail didn't hang, and now it's behaving.

Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened

Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened... the blue dot will NOT go away, no matter how many times I open the e-mail.
It's a simple pop account. I AM able to mark messages read with the message menu item (mark as read.) I also have nothing synced with it, no iPhone, no IMAP accounts, no .mac account, nothing.
But this is a real pain to have to do manually, when it used to happen automatically upon clicking the e-mail, it opening in a window to read, and then closing it.
All was working fine up until the 10.5.7 update. I hoped the 10.5.8 update would fix the problem, but no change. Everything else is working perfectly (I do the permissions repair/disk verify procedure before and after each update.)
Can't seem to find anyone else with this problem in here either, through search or just going through hundreds of messages.

Okay, then lets try this:
1. Select all your messages in the Inbox; then use the contextual menu or the Message > Mark menu to mark them all as Read.
2. Quit Mail.
3. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
4. Restart Mail, wait for the index to rebuild and retrieve any new email you might have, and see if the problem contineus. Hopefully it will not.

IPod Mail 1.1.3 - Return to inbox after delete message

Hi.
I'm wondering if there's a way to have the iPod return to the Inbox after deleteing a message, instead of what it currently does which is moving on to the next message. This has horribly detremental effects as if the next message happens to have been an un-read one, and I didn't realize it and just back out after deleting the message, the message isn't marked as unread anymore.
If this isn't available in the current update, could this please be added for the next update?
Thank you for any information.

No, there's no option for that.

Messages remain in inbox after being deleted or moved to other folders

Spent 2 hours yesterday cleaning out my in box, deleting and filing emails, only to find everything right back where it was? I have an exchange account and have never had this happen. Nothing has changed with anything on account or computer.

I should mention that the transferred message also remains in my Inbox even if I delete it from my Inbox after having transferred it to another mailbox. Once I "delete" it from the Inbox, it will turn gray (from black), and will disappear if I hit Apple-L to "Hide Deleted Messages." But it will be right back again in the Inbox, as black as ever, the next time I return from another mailbox to the Inbox, even if I have chosed "Erase all Deleted Messages" in the meantime.
This is very annoying. I'll sure appreciate help.
Thank you.

My e-mail messages are disappearing from my inbox after only three days and I don't know where they are going or how to retrieve them and need help with this!

THe messages are not in my archives and I don't delete them as soon as I get them. Where in the world are they going? I needed a number of them in order to make appropriate responses, and they are no longer in my inbox!

do you get your mail on another device which might be deleting them after 3 days. A phone perhaps.

Mail won't import messages to inbox after envelope file moved to desktop

I had some kind of problem with a HD backup that cause my mac pro quad to lapse into beach ball mode. I had to restart and found my mail app had problems. All messages in other mailboxes are ok, sent items are ok, but inbox has lost messages. The messages are viewable from pop mailbox folder (in library). I moved envelope file to desktop and tried importing messages, but received a sql error notification and only very old message appeared. I backed up my mail folder before this procedure, and I have a copy of the same account on my laptop. So I have the messages, but can't seem to get them back into the mail program on the mac pro (running latest version of 10.4 osx).thx ra

after running the command the mac supplied me with this wonderful response. Hope it means something to you..thx ra

Mail deleting Incoming IMAP mails ?

Hi !
I just saw Mail.app do a pretty nasty thing to me. I clicked the "Reload mail" button (sorry, French user), saw Mail add a small "New incoming message" with a title in its notification zone (the zone below the sidebar, where it display a subset of the activity), finished downloading, but nothing appeared in my Inbox ! I connected to my Gmail account to see if it really did what I thought, but no trace of it there too ! I'm quite sure it's not the first time it does this, but it wasn't critical emails when it happened, now I'm only left with the option to write another email explaining the situation.
What happened ? It there a possibility I could get this email back ? It's not appearing anywhere in Gmail, so I think it's too late...

Yes, I recieved an email from the guy I mailed, and it didn't reply earlier.
I'm quite sure the activity box displayed an "Incoming message" message with a "Re:" corresponding to the subject of the email I was awaiting, but it looks like I hallucinated .
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Messages reappearing in inbox after being moved or deleted

I upgraded to Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago from Leopard. Since then I have noticed a bizarre bug in Mail:
A message that I had moved from my inbox to another folder kept reappearing in the inbox. I tried moving it repeatedly and deleting it, and it would keep coming back later that day.
After reading advice on this forum, I tried rebuilding my inbox and the folder that should have contained the message. I thought this fixed it, but now ANOTHER message is doing the same thing. This message is from the same day as the other offender, and I feel like this is not a coincidence. (For the record, that date is not the same as the date that I upgraded.)
This is getting really annoying (I like to keep a clean inbox) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You probably also need to use Rebuild on the target mailbox that you are moving messages to, but the following will take care of all mailboxes. This is almost certain to be an indexing problem. Try using the procedure described in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Note the special instructions to remove the account folders for any Exchange or IMAP accounts, which apparently you do not have.

Images disappear after being selected from galleries

I created an app in Project Siena that serves as a product catalog for our Remote Sales team to use on their tablets. The app relies heavily on image galleries for navigation. Everything works fine, except that as you navigate back and forth
through the app pages, images that have been previously selected start disappearing from their gallery upon returning to their page. Anyone seen this happen before?

Hi Bruton, thanks for the quick response. I'll try and break this down as simply as possible:
-Built on Excel tables containing links to images. The images are located in a mapped network drive that is synced offline.
-All images appear fine at first as you navigate through the app; then, as you go back to the Index page and go back through the same pages, you start to see previously selected images disappear from the gallery. All the other images show up fine in
the gallery. Only the ones that have been selected previously disappear. If you close that app and re-open it, voila, all images display without issue.
-This same phenomena occurs while running the app in Project Siena; when the images start disappearing, I will update the data sources, and voila, the missing images come back.
-There are four basic pages that each contain an image gallery: Index, Brand, Group, and Product
-You drill down by selecting a brand, then a product Group, then an individual product (hence the 4 pages)
-Note: some "brands" that are chosen take you directly to the Product page, bypassing the Group page
-The image galleries on each page are used for the navigation (drilling-down to next level)
-When you tap an image from the gallery, you launch the next page... below is the navigation code for the image gallery on the Brands page. (I used "UpdateIf" function w/ 1=1 so it's always true, because I wasn't sure how to use other "Update"
functions.)
UpdateIf(CollectedGroup, 1=1, {Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, GroupImage:Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND}); If(LookUp(ProductTable, Products in CollectedGroup!Groups, Products) = ThisItem!Groups, If(IsEmpty(CollectedProduct),
Collect(CollectedProduct, Group_Gallery!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedProduct, 1=1, {Products: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, ProductImage: Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND, Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups})), If(IsEmpty(CollectedGroup),
Collect(CollectedGroup, Group_Gallery!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedGroup, 1=1, {Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, GroupImage: Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND}))); If(LookUp(ProductTable, Products in CollectedGroup!Groups,
Products) = ThisItem!Groups, Navigate(Product_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Brands_Page"}), Navigate(Groups_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Brands_Page"}))
Here is the navigation script for the Groups page gallery:
Clear(CollectedProduct); If(IsEmpty(CollectedProduct), Collect(CollectedProduct, Group_Gallery_1!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedProduct, 1=1, {Products: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!Products, ProductImage: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!ProductImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!BRAND,
Groups: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!Groups, GroupImage: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!ProductImage})); Navigate(Product_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Groups_Page"})
Data script for the gallery on the Groups page:
Filter(ProductTable, Groups in CollectedGroup!Groups)

Mail Moves Messages

Hi -
To make a long story short - my house burnt down and I bought a new MacBook Pro running Lion. On my old iMac I used the mail application and so I naturally use it on my new MacBook Pro. I can send and receive message easily but whenever I reply or forward to a message Mail moves it out of the Inbox and to the sent folder. So if I want to go back to the message I have to go into the sent folder. How do I keep them in the inbox and not have them automatically move. On my iMac this never happened (I was running Lion on it too.) Any help is appreciated!
Spencer

I know this doesn't help, but wanted to let you know that this has also been happening on my accounts too. The weird thing is that is it is only happening on one alias of a .Mac mail account, but not on my main POP account. Also, I don't know if the settings are changed by MobileMe, but it's happening in Entourage as well as Mail for the same alias of the .Mac account and on different machines.
Anyone else had this too?

Incoming AOL mail in Mac MAIL Inbox disappears after a week

I´ve setup my AOL e-mail accounts in Mac MAIL. Receiving and sending mail via my AOL accounts works fine, but incoming mail will stay only for one week in the Incoming mail folder of Mac MAIL. After one weeks it disappears from the Incoming mail folder and it´s not longer available in MAIL at all. (I can only access it throught the AOL software or AOL Communicator themself, where it´s archived.). Sent (AOL) mail on the other side is still available in the Sent folder of MAIL. Is there any way to keep/store the Received AOL mail in Mac MAIL?

Hi Padua & JWurzak!
I don't know if this will help, but, in your AOL Preferences > Mail: under Automation, do you have the two options below checked?
Save the mail I read
Save the mail I send
Also, in AOL Preferences > Filing Cabinet: do you have Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet checked, and Never selected, in the contextual menus below?

Mail crash after move from MobileMe to iCloud

Its working now for me now, i can use my .me mail with my icloud account again

Mail App stuck on checking for incoming MobileMe messages

Hi
Something strange happened to my MobileMe mail account this morning. I was testing out emailing myself some photos from my iPad and a couple of messages came through from [email protected] stating that the delivery had failed.
Since then Mail has been stuck on looking for incoming messages on my Mail account, with a spinning wheel next to the MobileMe inbox. A couple of times it has downloaded new messages, but then the spinning wheel comes back. Eventually, after 10-15 minutes, the Mail App stops responding and I need to Force Quit the App, and start it again, when the problem re-emerges.
I have tried restarting my Mac but this doesn't cure the problem. My mail is still downloading to my iPad OK, so I presume that the issue is to do with the Mail app on my Mac rather than MobileMe server.
I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas as to what I can try to fix this issue.
Thanks
Nick

Nick,
In Mail, are you able to control-click on the Inbox of the MobileMe account and choose Get Account Info?
Next time you launch, hold down the Shift key while doing so -- any change?
Also, have you selected to use the IDLE Command?

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

Can't move some junk mail to Yahoo inbox in Mail

I have two email boxes, iCloud and Yahoo (att.net) After upgrade to Mountain Lion I cannot move mis-identified Junk Mail into Yahoo inbox

As I said, if the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, which I believe will be the case here, it doesn’t really matter.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
You’ll probably see a Junk folder without the .mbox suffix there. If that’s the case, quit Mail and rename the folder to Junk.mbox. That should fix the problem.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
