Mail program has been replaced by Gmail IMAP
I have been using Apple email on my MacMini for 3 / 4 years.
But after synching my iPad today, the email account changed to GMail IMAP.
So I've now lost all my folders and saved mails....
Any ideas how I may restore to what I had before??
Thanks
Dennis
Not sure what OSX version you're on, but see if there are any folders that start with POP in this location...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
If 10.7 & up...
Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder > Go > Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory in the Finder.

I am currently using the adobe cloud service and would like to give my granddaughter my original lightroom and photoshop programs. Would do I need to do to remove them from my computer to hers? The lightroom 5 program has been replaced with the cloud version on my computer.
Follow the steps listed at Transfer an Adobe product license
Lightroom has no activation check so you don't need to do anything to your computer. Your old copy of Photoshop must be deactivated / uninstalled if you haven't already done so. -
Mac account on desktop mail program has been disabled
Hello, would appreciate any help. Yesterday I ran my desktop mail program and it would look like it was connecting but would have a box appear to "check the settings as it was having trouble getting mail," but then the new mail was there, so didn't think there was a problem. I ran the disc permission repair as I have to do this periodically and today when I clicked on mail in my dock only my ISP mailbox was there. When I click on Preferences it shows my Mac account as "inactive" and it is grayed out. It will not let me "enable" the account or bring it back online. If I click on "edit" to check the settings it won't let me back out because "there is no user name in place" but it won't let me add one. I must click on cancel in order to get out of that section. Is there a way to get this account back on line without removing it and then re-entering all of the information again? If I have to remove it how do I know what to put where in order to get my mail coming to my desktop again, as I am not sure if the ones on the "disable account" are correct at this point. I checked with my ISP just to make sure everything was working on their end and it is, they said it is an Apple problem and to get help from them but their recommendation was to delete the account and start over. In order for me to check my mail to get an answer, I am going to have to keep going to the Mac.com website so would appreciate a prompt reply. Thanks for any help.

How does one show full message headers in Mail 8.1?
he previous 'complete header' option has been replaced with a time consuming 'custom' choice.Customize your toolbar in Mail and add the All Headers button:

Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.
My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
THANK YOU!!!!I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

My HD has been replaced and when backing up from my time machine the transferred got interrupted
My HD has been replaced and when backing up from my time machine the transferred got interrupted. When Mac book booted only half the data. So I erased the hard drive to start again although I now can't restore from my time machine as its saying not enough space on HD to restore. Please help coz I'm freaking out!
I seriously doubt that you can do that. I've never heard of anyone doing something like this. I also strongly suspect that that windows software didn't preserve all the resource fork, ownership and hard links correctly.
You are left with manual migration of your data back to your computer. this isn't as hard as you make it sound. You just need to copy you own stuff back. also use the following [post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to migrate important parts of you user library, Mail, iphoto etc. You will have to reinstall your applications by hand. -
Why repeated "Your Mail index has been damaged" errors?
In my Mail.app (running on a white MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard) I frequently (sometimes daily) get the "Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail." messages. Either letting the system repair or just Force Quit & restarting then I'm away again, but only for a few hours or days.
Any ideas how to debug what's causing this? It's making Mail totally unusable.
I use IMAP for about 5 accounts with this app. I don't have any problems with other Mail clients.
Thanks, MichaelI am not a clued up user as you might realise. I do not get nor can a search find a library folder nor any of the other files you have mentioned

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?
I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
dougI don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks. -
I`ve a iPhone 4s , apple support shows this has been replaced.
I bought an iPhone 4s from Apple Store in Feb`12 , Apple Coverage status shows the device has been replaced with another device but I am using the same device. I am in India at present . How can I contact Apple in US for this matter.
If you so readily post private personal information on the internet, like you've just done with your phone number, and are so willing to give login info to complete strangers, I'm not surprised all your iCloud email accounts were so easily hacked.
But why on earth do you have EIGHT iCloud accounts? You can't personally use them all?
You need to change the passwords on these accounts to VERY secure passwords and delete the mail settings that are re-directing your emails. -

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck! -

How many times a program has been run?
Is there a transaction or table or something that tracks how many times a program has been run? The number of times the program has been run plus using the programs' attributes for last changed would help me a lot. We need this for an archiving study to determine of the client has set up the configuration correctly since they went live and have been executing the correct programs. Thanks and mucho rewards if someone has an answer. FYI - I have done a forum search and could find nothing on this topic. I have looked at the tables TADIR and no help, as well as transaction STAT.
I know ST03N transaction can be used extensively to determine how the programs were executed or even to know who all are using a particular transaction...
I tried to find if we can find the number of executions of a program through this transaction, I could not find myself...
try if you can find it through this tcode.

Why can I no longer find my iphotos? Updated from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently... The iphoto logo in my dock has been replaced with a transparent, grey, question mark... why? How do I restore my iphotos? Searched for them in Finder, and in "search"... they appear as text only.. but no photos.. please help.. Mark
Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive?
To do so download and use Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't. If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it. However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.
