Mailboxes and Inbox removed by 10.5.8 update?

I've just accepted an update to 10.5.8 from Apple. When I opened Mail, all my mailboxes and my old Inbox had gone. Will the update have caused this?

Alison, it shouldn't have, but let's see if the drive's directory is OK.
1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.5.x Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • HT5527 I have had my storage reduced once already.  In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents.  I do notcare about contents so much as starting a new Save box.  How?  (OS X 10.7.5)

    My iCloud storage is being reduced.  I have already had it reduced once.  In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents.  (One would think that that would be the last thing they removed.  But they took that and the "Trash" mailbox, yet left several thousand old and read messages which were in my "Inbox".)  I do not expect to get the "Save" contents back, but I would like to restore the "Save" mailbox, so that I can start from scratch saving msgs in it again.  But I cannot figure out how to do that.  When I go to "Mailbox" on the top line (between View and Message) and select New Mailbox I get a dialog box in which I can name a new mailbox.  When I type Save, for the name of the new Mailbox I get a response; "The mailbox 'Save" already exists."  But I cannot find it.
    Thanks,  Bill Burner

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can anybody tell me how to create other mailboxes besides inbox,sent and trash on my iPhone4?

    can anybody tell me how to create other mailboxes besides inbox,sent and trash on my iPhone4?

    You can't create any mailboxes directly on your phone. Mailboxes/Folders have to be created on the mail server, then synced to your phone. This requires an IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account. Sounds like you have a POP account, if so you cannot create any mailboxes/folders.

  • I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

    I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash bin but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate the bin?

    You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

  • Resource mailbox :Subject not removed and organizer not visible in subject after setting permissions

    Hi,
    I'm configuring some meeting room mailboxes, and would like to hide the subject and content, and add the meeting organizer into the subject field.
    I've configured the next permissions :
    Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "[email protected]:\calendar" -User default -AccessRights LimitedDetails
    Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "[email protected]" -AddOrganizerToSubject $true -DeleteComments $false -DeleteSubject $true
    Unfortunately the subject is still visible, and the organizer doesn't get filled in into the subject field.

    Hi,
    DeleteSubject parameter, AddOrganizerToSubject parameter and DeleteComments parameter are ignored unless the AutomateProcessing parameter is set to AutoAccept. From the above description, the AutomateProcessing is AutoUpdate. I recommend you use the following
    cmdlet to achieve your goal.
    Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity xxx -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept -DeleteSubject $true -AddOrganizerToSubject $false -DeleteComments $false
    Hope it helps.

  • Shared mailbox and personal mailbox showing identical content in Outlook

    I have one user on Outlook 2010 who has Full Access permissions to a shared mailbox. In OWA, everything looks fine, but in Outlook, the shared mailbox shows the contents of her personal mailbox instead of the content of the shared mailbox.
    If she views the shared mailbox's Inbox, it shows her the contents of her own Inbox instead of the shared mailbox. If she attempts to view the shared mailbox's Calendar, it shows her nothing at all. There are no error messages.
    I configured a separate Mail profile (via Control Panel) for the shared mailbox, and that works fine also.
    I deleted her Mail profile and all cached Outlook data, then created a new profile, and let Outlook recache all the data. Same problem.
    Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?
    Blog /
    Facebook / Twitter

    Finally some moderately helpful info:
    The end user logs into a computer on an untrusted, foreign AD domain (domain2.com) using an account from that domain. She then logs into her Exchange mailbox in Outlook using her domain.com account.
    Every domain2.com computer she logs into gives her the same random mailbox mirroring problem.
    I had her log into Outlook on a computer on domain.com located in my office and leave it running for 3 days. Every time her Outlook client on her regular computer would start or stop mirroring mailboxes, she would let me know, and I'd check the computer
    in my office and find no problem.
    So the problem is something in the foreign domain or something that that domain's administrators are doing to the computers. Unfortunately, several other people on that domain are using mailboxes and shared mailboxes on my Exchange servers in the exact same
    configuration and are not having this problem. It is only this one user.
    I am pretty sure they are not using roaming profiles. I know they are not using mandatory profiles.

  • How to Hide a Specific Mailbox In Inbox?

    Hi!
    I manage more than 10 e-mail addresses in Apple Mail and one of them suffers a lot from spam. Everyday, I receive 100-200 spam e-mails to that specific mailbox and I don't want to see the content of that mailbox in my main Inbox tab.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks in advance!

  • E72 Scoll among mailboxes and adding a 3rd box to ...

    Hi - new E72 user and am curious how I can do the following:
    1. If I am in a mailbox's inbox, and I want to go to my other mailboxes, is there some shortcut I can use to scroll through the inboxes of each mailbox?  Currently I am scrolling to the top of the screen and then clicking into the folders drop menu, then manually scrolling all the way down to each mailbox.
    2. I have 3 email account on the device, but only 2 are showing on the dashboard.  Can I add a third one?  This way I can click into it directly from the dashboard.
    Thanks!
    Marshall 

    Why do you ask?
    Just add the name in front of the array by concatenating two arrays:
    app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.keywords =
    ["MyCompanyName"].concat(app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().name);
    Note: the names of the links will also include the file suffixes like .tif, .eps etc.

  • Lost all my mailbox and smart mailbox folders when I had to reinstall Mail

    My messages were garbled...a message from one person today was attached to a message from a completely different person sent weeks ago. Called Apple and we removed Mail and plist from the Finder Library. Now my new messages are fine. But I've lost all my Mailbox folders where I organized messages. Can't find the messages on the dotmac server either. Where are those messages? I need to find them.

    Mailboxes and messages are located in ~/Library/Mail Check that folder to see if any folders are named for your accounts (e.g., [email protected]). Look in these folders if they contain any messages.
    Alternatively, you can do a Spotlight search for a specific message that you know you had. In the Search results, right-click to Show in Finder. This may lead you to where all your other messages are.
    Other than re-importing messages from within Mail.app, I don't know how you can restore everything including folder structures, etc. Perhaps someone else in this forum can give pointers. Re smart mailboxes, you can just recreate them once everything is back in.

  • Export 2 specific folders from users A mailbox and transfer them to user B Via Powershell

    Hi 
    i know there is a simpler method for the user to export the folder within outlook as a PST file and send it to the other user to import... but
    Is there a powershell command sequence i can use that will export folders from User A mailbox and import them into User B's mailbox remotely so they don't have to do anything.
    Many Thanks
    Gordon

    i made some progress with the following
    New-MailboxExportRequest -mailbox "User A" -includeFolders "User A\\TransferFolder" -Filepath \\server\serversubfolder\transfer.pst -verbose
    then using
    New-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox "User B" -FilePath \\server\serversubfolder\transfer.pst -TargetRootFolder "Inbox" -includefolder "Transferfolder" -verbose

  • Office365 - Move Mailbox and Export to PST

    Hi Everyone
    So we have moved all our Mailboxes to Office365 and I am in the process of setting up our service desk checklists etc.
    One issue that i have came across is that it is not possible to directly export mailboxes from Exchange Online to PST.
    We are in a Hybrid Environment so it is still possible to migrate mailboxes off to a local Mailbox Server and export from there.
    In order to streamline this as much as possible i have written the following (UnTested!) script.  I will be using it from the Azure Powershell Module already connected to our online tenant and so that section of code has been removed.
    If anyone had any thoughts in regards to this - or can point out any glaringly obvious mistakes that would be great!

    Hi,
    You can not export the Office365 mailbox Data in to PST, you must have to bring the mailbox to on premises and then export, once done again move back the mailbox to office365,
    another way is from in-place hold, search the mailbox and take users PST, or user third party tool such as messageops which is quite good.

  • All The Notes and All my personalized Mailboxes and Smart mailboxes have disappeared

    When I woke up my MacBook Pro and wanted to check email, all The Notes and All my personalized Mailboxes and Smart mailboxes have disappeared.
    I only have the standard mailboxes like inbox, sent, trash, etc...
    Anyone can help with this?
    Thanks
    Short background:
    I have upgraded recently from Snow Leopard to Lion.
    I have lost a lot of software (and had to re-purchase licences and re-install it) but then I have said to myself BE IT! great that I did not lose critical stuff.
    I have also said that I will do the Time Machine back-up when everything is working fine....
    Well, I think I was a bit too quick with my statement and too slow with the back-up...
    Mugur

    You are not getting them from there, you just verifying if you have a back up with notes (you will have to check the date and try to remember if had those at that date and time.) Then you have two ways to go - the apple way and third party way.
    1 Apple way - restore from back up (downside is you going to lose changes to your phone since the last back up)
    be careful - not to overwrite last back up when you connect your phone, I would find and copy back up file just in case to external drive. You can find location of your actual back up file using that article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    if you expand where it says "where back ups are stored on the computer"
    how to restore from itunes back up here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    2. not Apple way.- there are programs for windows that allow you to look inside of actual back up file.
    Google is your friend for that one.
    If you don't like my results just adjust search to your liking.

  • I accidentally deleted my 1&1 account in mail and inbox / sent items lost

    Can anyone help please?  I have transferred my domain name from 1&1 to godaddy today and the domain transfer has been successful but in the process of trying to set up my Mail account I inadvertently deleted the old 1&1 account from Mail preferences.  I didn't think that this would be a problem as all of the emails must be stored on my hard drive once they had been delivered to Mail, but when the 1&1 account had been deleted I lost all emails from my inbox, sent items and deleted items.  The personal folders that I have created to store emails in are all still there, but I am very worried that I have lost all of my sent items and all of the items in my inbox that were awaiting replies.
    I have looked on here and people refer to going to Library and then Mail folder, but I don't have a mail folder.  I do have Time Machine so any recommendations where I can back up on would be appreciated.
    1&1 have said that I can transfer my MX records back to them to restore my mail and then transfer them back to godaddy, but I have been waiting for 12 hours from the original transfer to take place and it still hasn't happened and I can't afford another day without being able to send or receive any emails.
    I would also like to know how to ensure that i have a back up of my existing mail to make sure that i don't loose any more.
    Any advice greatly appreciated. :-)

    Was this a POP account, and where is your backup?
    From now on use Time Machine to backup your Mac, for Mail you can also (not instead of) export any or all mailboxes to the desktop by rightclicking on the mailbox and choosing Export.

  • Exchange 2013 - Public Folder Mailbox and Single Item Recovery

    Hello,
    I recently had a request to recover some messages that an ex-employee deleted from the "recover deleted items" folder in their public folder. Since this resides on a public folder mailbox and it does have the option for
    "Single Item Recovery" to be enabled on the box (which I enabled not knowing if this really works or not), is there a way I can still recovery these items or do I have to go to a backup to obtain those messages. Since ExFolders does not work that
    is not an option. I've seen commands to restore a public folder that was deleted but not items that were deleted directly from a public folder. I checked using MFCMAPI and I do see the dumper root and the public folder dumpster for each folder but it
    looks to be only the "deletions" folder and don't see anything similar to a "purges" type folder. Any ideas or am I stuck recovering from backup? Thanks in advance!

    So I think you are stuck and will need to restore the EDB to a Recovery Database to restore the items because when the end user purged the items from the "Recover Deleted Items" it removes them from the Recoverable Items/Deletions folder. 
    Check out this article
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/08/23/recovering-public-folder-information-in-exchange-2013.aspx
    I have not played with the recoverable items settings on the 2013 public folder enabled mailbox EDB  but you might try checking out Litigation or In Place Hold to use as a safety mechanism moving forward.  That said this will also increase the
    DB size so consider all the options before implementing
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
    2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's
