Messages retrieval from closed account possible?

Written chat messages from a closed account are needed for defense in a lawsuit.
Is it possible to reactivate an account that was closed more than 90 days ago?
If not, are the chat messages still stored in Skype's database?
(Or should I contact NSA? Just kidding)
The plaintiff in a lawsuit purposely closed their account as the written messages are damaging to their case.
In short, is there a way to get those messages?
Any assistance that the community can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!

Well, I thought I found a solution in the archives here: Import the old messages from within Mail. Had no doubt that would work. Well, it didn't. Though all the old messages were Apple Mail messages, when I tried to import Mail said, "No valid Apple Mail files were found." Tried importing them as mbox files. Same result.
IMAP has advantages for people who check mail from more than one device, or for multiple users of an account. Not having been forwarned by AT&T that I was going to be switched from POP to IMAP, it has been a big headache for me. And it clutters up the sidebar with a changing collection of folders, including many that seem redundant, and some whose purpose I can't, in my ignorance, imagine.
Supposed to get a call today or tomorrow from a unit in AT&T that is "specially trained" to handle problems like mine. We'll see.
I sure would like to get help from somewhere.

Mail hangs upon retrieving last mail from POP account

Hi,
I have a problem with retrieving mail from a POP account. Mail seem to hang after the last new mail has been retrieved from the account. E.g, the activity viewer shows "Fetching 7 of 7", the progress bar indicates that all mails have been retrieved, but never completes. Pressing the Stop button next to the progress bar does not have an effect. Mail then indefinitly hangs in the "STOPPING" phase. In that state I cannot retrieve mails for other accounts, either. I have to force quit Mail.
Has anyone experiences similar problems and found a solution?
Thanks,

Does your account have webmail capability? If so, log into your account that way, and deal with the offending message.

Mail - Retrieveing Mail from multiple accounts

I have multiple e-mail accounts, one for each family member (1 primary plus 4 for my kids) and would like to retrieve all e-mails to the same in-box (to keep track of my kids messages). Mail Help instructed to create aliases for my primary e-mail account. I went to Mail>Preferences>Account Information>E-Mail Address and listed the e-mail addresses separated by commas. After saving, then restarting my iBook, Mail will still only retrieve messages from the primary account, not any aliases. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

If all email accounts are provided by the same provider, are the 4 additional accounts alias accounts with the provider?
An alias account to a primary account shares the same user name and password in addition to the same incoming mail server as the primary account.
If each of the 4 additional email accounts require and have a different user name, you cannot create the additional accounts as alias accounts to or with the primary account with the Mail.app or with any email client.
When creating separate accounts in Mail, each account has its own Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailbox (when Junk Mail is set to automatic) but you can view received messages by all accounts by selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. When opening Inbox in the mailboxes drawer revealing the account named Inbox mailbox for each account, selecting an account named Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. When selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals a blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts and the same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.

There is no solution. You have to provide the ID and password. There is no way around it. If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Why is it that when I delete an email message from an account on my iPhone it instantly disappears from the same email account on my wife's iPhone? We both have iOS7 and have imap email accounts.

not all mail providers sync the send mail part of the mail box
you can try to contact yahoo if this is the case with them

Is it possible to transfer money from one account to another?

Basically I just want to know if it's possible to transfer money (for like, downloading apps and stuff) from one account to another and, if it is possible, how. Thanks in advance.

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID from one account to match the second account, without losing the information on each account?

Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

How to make a virtual view for all the incoming messages from several accounts, just like in Opera Mail?

I want to have a replication of Opera mail feature. This feature enables you to aggregate all mail items from across all the e-mail accounts into a single virtual aggregated view.
That is, say, we have 3 different mail accounts. In Mozilla Thunderbird on a daily basis I check if there is something new in the incoming folder for those accs. To do that I click on the corresponding folder for every account. Now, what i want is to click on a single folder where I would have an aggregated virtual view of the incoming folder for all of those 3 accounts. I guess, same thing can be done with different kinds of mails, such as:
* Unread messages (after having viewed the mail item, it automatically goes straight into "Sent messages" aggregate view, listed below)
* Read messages
* Sent messages
* Spam messages
* Drafts, etc
Also there is this cool feature (virtual thing applies here as well) that helps to have a view of all the attachments across all accounts categorized into different descriptions, such as:
* docs (xls, doc, ppt, etc)
* images (jpg, png, etc)
* archives (zip, rar, etc)
More then that, it would still be better to have labling aggregation view feature across all acounts. That is, if we have marked important several messages in, say, 2 accounts, those should be seen in a single aggregated virtual view under name, say, "Important messages". Same can be said with flags, todos, etc.

Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox. Imap mail accounts cannot.
However, there are various 'views' in Thunderbird. I would suggest you try 'Unified'. This creates a visual Inbox containing all Inbox messages with sub folders showing individual Inboxes, so you can still see them separately if required.
via Menu Bar;
View > Folders > Unified
Via Menu icon
Menu Icon > Folders > Unified.
This view would show all the 'Important' tagged emails, so you could them sort by Tag.

Failure to move messages from one account to another

I have recently started having problems when trying to move messages from one account to another. I get a message that says: The IMAP command "APPEND" (to INBOX) failed with server error: message contains NUL characters.
I have tried shutting down and restarting, repaired permissions. Not sure what to do next. Any help?

Ernie,
One is POP thru Cox Comm and the other is mobile me (the old .mac accts). Why would all of a sudden there be an issue when I several times during the day have been able to move messages from Cox to mobile me?

Not necessarily...
You would need to check the Terms and Conditions for the Mac App Store and possibly iTunes for clarity on that assumption...

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).
