Missing imported mail folders after Leopard upgrade

After upgrading to Leopard, my previously imported mail folders (from outlook express converted to .mbox) disappeared. I imported again with mixed results. One folder successfully imported but with 2 new but empty folders (at that point I had 3 folders on my mac). I tried to import the second file. It appeared to import, I can see the folder and number of messages but no way to access them. I can't open the folder. I tried it again with the same results. I had no problem accessing the same files prior to the Leopard upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks,
Dana

I have Comcast email, and I never had a junk folder. However, if you did have these folders, go the preview window where you see all of your email accounts - The window that shows all,of your Mailboxes. Tap the Edit button to the right of the Mailboxes heading. See if the folders are in there.
You can also try closing the mail app and resetting the iPad to see if they reappear.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
BTW, creating a new draft email should make the folder appear again as well.

  • Lost email folders after Leopard upgrade

    I recently upgraded to Leopard and in general things are great, except... there are a couple of mail folders (in Mail) that have disappeared. If I search in Spotlight for messages I know are in those folders, I find the messages. However, if I open a found message from Spotlight and click "Show in Mailbox", Mail comes up with "No Mailbox Selected" in the title bar.
    Any ideas on how to recover those folders into Mail?
    thx -g

    if you go to homefolder/library/mail/... you should see all the folders and files, and there should be a folder for each email account, in each of these you will find the mailboxes for these email accounts. Can you find the missing mailboxes anywhere?
    let me know what you find.

  • Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

    Hi everyone
    I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
    I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
    However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
    I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
    After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
    Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
    After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
    I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
    I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
    I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
    I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
    I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

    My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
    I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
    Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
    Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
    Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
    I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

  • More mail misery after Leopard upgrade

    Mac mail works well but I am having great problems with my ISP. I have deleted my plist and re entered my BT account. The connection doctor says no problem but when I try to retrieve mail the progress window beneath my mail boxes says receiving 8 mails but nothing appears in the main window.
    If I try with my non upgraded powerbook there are no problems but the settings are the same as those on the Leopard computer.
    Any advice welcome.

    Not for me...I seem to have lost a whole bunch of emails, mostly from the past month or two, in doing an upgrade and transfer from my laptop. At first it looked like the transfer had gone through successfully to my tower. I should have checked more thoroughly and done a backup before then upgrading my iBook. Once I upgraded my iBook I transferred the system back from the tower. Though everything seems to have transfered smoothly, and most of my email messages, preferences and address book is there, mysteriously many messages have just gone missing. Backup, backup, backup!!!!

  • Mail issues after leopard upgrade.

    I upgraded my dual processor G5 tower to Leopard and have been having problems with mail since then.
    1. Periodically mail simply fails. The window disappears and then I get an error message that Mail has unexpectedly quit, ignore or restart.
    2. When mail checks messages, the spinning wheel icon next to each box is very choppy or stops completely. Sometimes checking mail takes a long time.
    Anyone else seen these issues post upgrade? Is there a fix for it?
    Thanks

    I for got to add
    5) repair permissions in disk utility
    6) reboot

  • Mail Problem After Leopard Upgrade

    Upgraded an iMac 20" 2Gig (Intel Chip) 1 gig RAM from Tiger to Leopard. Did an Archive & Install. Mail will not configure. Gets to the outgoing server check & it just hangs.
    Entourage works perfectly so I know the settings & ISP are OK.
    Reloaded the System again with the same result.
    All the latest upgrades were installed.
    Won't let me get to accounts... The set up run asks for the info & when it hangs I have to cancel and the app quits.
    This one is stumping me...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Richie

  • Correct method to import Mail folders from Tiger to Leopard?

    Guys,
    What is the correct method of exporting/importing mail folders/settings from Tiger to Leopard?
    Thx

    You're lucky--I can't even open Mail! The icon bounces in the Dock and then quits unexpectedly. (Ditto with iCal). Had horrible Keychain problems after installing Leopard (as an upgrade--I wasn't even given an "archive & install" option. My username and password were being rejected, and I couldn't even install the recommended Software Updates. Tech support guy (for whom I waited 30 min. and then spent an hour with) made things worse--the Unix code he had me type ended up invalidating my account. He then handed me off to a supervisor--for whom I had to wait another 45 min. After another hour, during which the supervisor had me create a new account and attempt to copy and paste the items (42,000) from my old User folder to the new one, he told me that when I was done (it took 2 more hrs) I should log out and log back in. I did and nothing happened--all my previous files and folders were still gone. But I could start Mail, although all it brought up was my mac.com account. So rather than reinitialize and reinstall Leopard, I restored my important files, folders and programs from the external drive to which I'd backed up my previous hard drive (OS 10.4.10)--including Mail and iCal. (I wanted to set up my RCN and Earthlink accounts too). But now I can't even access Mail AT ALL! What happened, and how can I just get a working version of Mail so that I can set it up from scratch? (I am now accessing my mail from an old iBook G4--and I don't want to travel with two computers).

  • After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

    Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

  • Lost Mail Folders, after 10.4.7?

    Just noticed I have missing Apple Mail folders. Is there a known problem with OS 10.4.7 and Mail?

    Hi Mike -
    You wrote - "Suppose it's too late to know now, but were the 'missing' folders still on your HD, under ~/Library/Mail/ - that could have be remedied by rebuilding the mailbox."
    I'm suffering a similar problem, with Mail being set back to Default settings. As my mailboxes are still where you suggest they should be, how can I get things back to normal?....... James

  • IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

    iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
    I too am wondering what I can do???

  • Missing Mail Folders after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard I had setup mail folders.  After the upgrade they were gone.  I cannot see them.  I cannot see a way to build a folder now.  Can someone assist?  Thanks.

    "Folders" are now called "Mailboxes". To add a mailbox, select Mailbox --> New Mailbox. You will be prompted to enter a location and a name. Then you will see your mailbox appear in the sidebar and you can drag messages to it. You can also make smart mailboxes that automatically add messages to themselves according to a set of predefined rules. Select Mailbox --> New Smart Mailbox and enter a name and a set of rules.

  • How to recover missing content of mail folders after upgrade to Maverick?

    When I upgraded my Mac computer to Maverick I lost the content of my mail folders.  The folders are there but there are no emails filed in them.

    Try to re-index:
    Repair & Reindex All Messages in Mail app
    You may encounter an alert from Mail app telling you that the mailbox must be repaired, but you can also do this manually. This is particularly helpful if the search functions of the Mail app have become unreliable.
    Quit out of Mail app and go to the Finder
    Hit Command+Shift+G and go to the following path:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Delete every file that begins with “Envelope Index” (optional but recommended: back up these files to the desktop just in case something goes awry)
    Close the MailData window, then relaunch Mail app to force reindexing
    Like rebuilding the mailbox, the reindexing process can also take a while, depending on how large the mailbox is and how much mail is stored on the computer. Be prepared for a lengthy re-indexation if you have tons (thousands+) of messages in Mail app. When finished, try the search or perform the task that you had issues with before and things should be working as usual again.-These two solutions will fix most common mailbox related issues encountered in OS X Mail, so try them out the next time Mail app is performing strangely. On the mobile side of things, iOS does not have similar forced rebuilding and reindexing options, and thus to resolve similar issues you often have to remove the account from iOS Mail settings and then re-add it to resolve like problems, but that’s a topic for another article.
