Missing messages in inbox

I was wondering if anyone could help me on my mail problem!
I'm currently using mail(3.6). It's an aol account that i use in mail.
For some time now my messages in my inbox that i have received more than a month ago start disappearing. I don't think my inbox has reached it's limit because it really isn't full. but for some reason i cannot find these missing messages.
thanks

Benjamin,
Welcome to the Discussions.
AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox on the server for 27 days, per their policies. The AOL account is by their advice set as an IMAP, and the messages in the Inbox are not kept on your Mac, but on the server. To keep longer, you must manually move the messages to the Saved folder which will be found in the lower section of the Sidebar.

Some emails missing from Mail InBox

All emails received in Mail, version 3.6 (936) between 6:57pm 8 August and 6:15pm 10 August (around 30 messages) have disappeared from my Inbox at some time in the afternoon of 10 August. (I don't suspect the timings are significant, I'm just being specific.) I did not delete them, accidentally or otherwise. They have not moved to any other folder. Account type is POP.
I have followed all recovery procedures listed at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907, but nothing has worked. The messages were still on my ISPs server so I have been able to retrieve them on my MacBook.
Questions:
• Is there any known reason for this problem?
• Any way to prevent it recurring?
• Is there some way I can retrieve the lost messages from my ISP into Mail on my iMac?
• Is there any way to import only the missing messages into Mail on my iMac from Mail on my MacBook?
• How can I inform Apple of this problem by email?

Ok....now when I reply to something from my Mail....my phone is sending another reply to the recipient...except blank. Grrrr.

IMAP message list and search missing messages

I access an IMAP server from my MacBook and iPad. When I look in folders on the server other than the inbox, the MacBook shows all the messages but the iPad is missing many. When I compare the two, the iPad has all, one-for-one, for the past four days or so. Before that, the list on the iPad is spotty. I have touched the update and download more messages buttons.
Searching on the iPad also misses messages, but different ones. I can search on the iPad for messages I see on the Mac, and sometimes find them, although they don't show up in the message list (for example, the message from about five days ago, immediately before the last message which shows up consistently on both the Mac and iPad). In other cases, I can do a search on the Mac and iPad, and the Mac will show more hits from the search than the iPad.
So, mail on the iPad, at least with an IMAP server, is unreliable. Is this well-known? Will this improve on iOS 4.2?
Thanks for your help,
==Leonard

I did an experiment with the IMAP server I have which stores the mail in mbox format in the home directory of the Linux server I have a login to. I can drag messages in any order I want from the inbox to a folder, and can verify that in the mbox file, they are stored in the order I dragged them in. Yes, those messages are shown in the iPad message list in chronological order, regardless of the order I dragged them into the folder.
But, earlier messages are not shown in the iPad message list in the order they are in the mbox file or chronological order. Well, they are in chronological order, but with big time gaps. For example, the iPad shows a message from April 6 followed by April 1. But, I can see on my Mac that I have many messages between April 1 and 6. They do not appear on the iPad.
Ah, I think I see something. Some of the messages in this mailbox are log files with timestamps at the beginning of the line. The iPad mail program appears to be taking the time from the first line in the body of the message rather than the timestamp in the mail message envelope.
No, it just got stranger. I selected another mailbox, and then went back to the mailbox with the log files I was looking at before and the order of messages has changed! Now there are messages from May where there were messages from April. Still might be the timestamps in the body of the message because those are the first messages shown in the list after the last non-log-file messages.
Now there are messages missing between April 30 and May 4, where I can see that the messages exist by looking in the Mac mail program. I can see that all the missing messages on the iPad are the ones for which the body starts with a timestamp.
Perhaps the iPad has trouble with an IMAP server using mbox format.
Another complication in my case is that the messages in the mbox file are not stored in the order they were received. I suspect this is because I copied them there, using Apple Mail, from previously being stored on my Mac. That is, I had all my mail On My Mac, and then selected all the messages in the folder and dragged them to the IMAP server folder. That put them into the mbox file in an unusual order. But, on the Mac, they show chronologically, regardless of the order stored in the file.
The iPad also does this, for recent messages (which don't contain those log files with timestamps), but the timestamps in the body of the message may be confusing it.

Missing messages and other recent Mail.app quirks

HI,
Although I've read through many post on this issue, I haven't found one that seems to apply to my situation. And, the process seems really confusing... so I thought I'd ask you guy's.
I rebuilt my inbox's last night, and:
1. 1 of my 2 POP inbox's is now empty (except for a couple new mails today). There were about 150 messages.
2. My .mac inbox is receiving mails, but first the little spinner thing wouldn't stop spinning, and has switched to a blue clock looking thing that's stuck at about 10:30 (may have moved to 11:00 now?).
3. Drafts don't seem to be saving.
4. Seems that the audio feedback is gone or was gone (the sound is up and the speakers to work).
5. I was getting a strange error message when sending that I didn't write down (something to do with the Trash and 0 space or something).
I've been on this new machine (OS 10.4.5) since November with no Mail.app (2.0.7) trouble at all (I moved from a TiBook that had once had Panther on it). And, I didn't let this last Security update install. I had been trying to resolve some POP SMTP server issues, but went with .mac with the "reply to" option (I'm stuck in a hotel in southern China), and I did lose one email that I had just sent... which prompted the rebuild of the mailbox's. Still can't find that missing email- but I did get a reply from the person I sent it to.
There weren't many messages in that now empty inbox, but they were the important ones (which I think I located in Library > Mail folder thanks to you folks).
I can survive with issues 2 - 5 above if necessary, but I'd really like to deal with the missing message problem.
Should I just "import mailbox's" back in and hope it all works? Will I lose those new mails from today? Can you offer me any advice?
Sorry if I rambled on too much (too much spare time on a Sunday morning in China), and thank you in advance for any thoughts,
Guy

Guy,
Different answers for each file. The CachedData1 is a leftover file from an IMAP or .mac account -- Mail no longer uses that method of caching, so delete.
The two MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded are used with each POP account, and are still valid file types -- however, one of them should be modified each time you access your POP server -- check the dates modified again.
The two files named to begin with Incoming are leftovers, and probably must simply be deleted. They resulted in the mailbox where you found them when a message had been received (even if by transfer) and that mailbox was not opened prior to the conversion. In Panther, and earlier, these files would disappear when the mailbox was opened to view. It probably is only one or two messages -- the Incoming_Mail file can be read with TextEdit to confirm.
I think the Envelope Index Journal results during an incomplete indexing attempt Mail has made at some point, was meant to be temporary -- I am not entirely sure about this, but I do not have one.
The time out on port zero is one I need to research -- although I have seen a few reports, and think there is some explanation, I cannot remember as I write this.
There is an ongoing issue with .mac and continuation of the indicator for activity -- I see this on my iBook G4, but not on my G5. Useless needed for Offline use, set Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced to Don't save all message and attachment for Offline viewing, which may help. I hope this one get addressed in some future update.

Mail is unable to find responses to emails and missing messages

Since making the change to apple mail about 90 days ago, I have had an ongoing problem with missing messages sent from my desktop and iphone. They are not in the sent folder or the separate project email folder. However, the arrow next to the original message shows that the original email was responded to. When I click on the arrow, I receive a message saying that it cannot find the message and that I may have deleted the message.
I moved the Mail folder from the Caches folder and still no help.
I am required to keep all email messages sent and received. But this is an ongoing problem that has resulted in several lost messages. If I cannot resolve this issue, I may need to switch to a different email program.

oops sorry, Mailbox Behaviors: Drafts, store messages on server is checked. Notes, Store notes in inbox is checked. Sent, Store sent messages on server is checked and it is set to never delete sent messages. Junk, nothing is checked and delete junk messages when: is set to never. Trash, move deleted messages to the trash mailbox is checked along with, Store deleted messages on the server. Permanently erase deleted messages when, is set on, One week old.
i also use a mac laptop from time to time but the missing messages were sent from the desktop.

Disappearing and Duplicated Messages in Inbox

Ever since I switched to Mail.app a while back, I've been noticing a pair of odd behaviors in my Inbox. The first is that some messages will appear twice in the list. If I read one, the other is marked as read, and if I delete one, the other is also deleted. So far, all the affected messages are from one mailing list.
The other issue is that sometimes, while I'm reading through the new messages, some unread messages will disappear from the list. The message count will show that there are still X unread messages, but none will show in the list. If I switch to a different mailbox and then back, the missing messages reappear. I have found no correlating factors among the messages that disappear.
While neither of these issues is a major problem, they are annoying. Has anyone else ever encountered either of these issues, and does anyone know a way to fix them?

Hi Mark,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Missing messages in Mail (IMAP)

Since upgrading to ML I've noticed that at least two of my email accounts don't receive all my messages. For example, I'll receive a reply-all to a message which was also addressed to me, but didn't get the original message which was sent earlier...
If I shut down and restart Mail, then the missing message appears where it belongs in my Inbox... I've noticed this on two of my four email accounts (all IMAP). This is quite concerning. It did not occur prior to Mountain Lion. If it matters, I use conversation view in Mail.
Is this a known problem, or is there something I can do to fix it? I've had no other problems with ML, it works great. Thanks.

Problem with IMAP account, no messages in INBOX

I'm using the email from o2 Germany with my Pre almost 2 years without any significant problem.
Now I'm experiencing very strange behavior with the same account and the same IMAP settings on my TouchPad.
I get no emails shown in the INBOX on TouchPad. Other Folders, Sent, Trash, or any other custom Folders, work correct.
The update to 3.0.2 didn't help.
I've deleted the account and created it again, I've done Full Erase, and nothing has helped.
I believe it's not a connectivity problem. At home I’m on o2 DSL, but I’ve tried it also on other Wi-Fi Networks.
My wife's account on o2 behaves in the same way, IMAP account of my friend by other provider worked without any problem. But I don’t think the problem is on o2 side, because it works on my Pre.
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

Are you using Outlook 2003-2010 or Outlook Express to get your email at home or work? If so then you would want to check the settings to make sure the email items are not being deleted from the server.
Are the messages are more than 3 days old? If so you may need to correct the settings on the Touchpad under email for the amount of email time synced.
Can you check any trash folder for the missing messages?
Can you confirm that the missing messages are still in the Inbox on the mail server? You can do this by using a webmail tool for O2 through you browser.
Lastly you mentioned that you tried a friend's account and it worked fine. This could indicate an O2 issue through Wi-Fi versus HSDPA (O2 network)? You may want to check with O2 on this issue.

Mail not getting all messages from Inbox

I get my email via Gmail using POP. For several months I have noticed that I can only download about 11 messages at a time, even if more are on the server. I have to rehit "Check mail" button until I get them all. It is rather annoying and sometimes leads to me missing messages that should have been downloaded. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I went to the Genius Bar and they could not figure it out. I have trashed the prefs files and that does not help. If I set up a new User it works fine, so clearly there is something awry in my User account or Mail folder, but I have too much organized and setup in Mail to just start afresh. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
p.s. This happens no matter the ISP I am on. I travel and it is the same everywhere.

Apple recently merged all my devices so that if I miss messages or facetime calls on one device, they get forwarded to my other devices. how do I UNDO this so this no longer happens?

If you don't want them to be unified, don't use the same Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage on our devices. Go to Settings>Messsages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Error while loading master data (Displaying warnings like missing messags)?

Hi,
loading is successful but request is not in green.
it is appearing in yellow colur.
The warnings message(yellow in colour) is:
"Data package 1: arrived in BW; processing: Data packet not yet processed."
Error messages like:
1.Extraction (messages): Errors Occured.
2.Transfer (IDocs & TRFC): Missing messages or warnings.
Data package 1: arrived in BW; processing: Data packet not yet processed.
3.Processing(data packet): Warning received.
Data package 1: Missing messages.
Please suggest the solution what needs to be done.
After reloading also the same errors are getting displayed.

Hi
You can go to the source system . In SM58 check for the tRFC's. Execute the tRFC's manually and see if this helps you to proceed. You need to check for tRFC's for your BWUSER who has executed the load. Also check in SM50 on the BW system to see if you have enough BGD processes available to run the loads. These should be ok for you to start
Regards
Vin

In using mail with my mackbook air with maverick, to open a message takes time as if the message is downloaded & its same every time I want to open the message from inbox.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Missing Message Attributes: URL/HTTP Destination

Hello,
following scenario:
There is a sync. interface between SAP PI ante the Paypal API within the HTTP adapter calling a dynamic URL.
The dynamic URL is created as mentioned in this blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/7264. [original link is broken]
Also the HTTP adapter is configured as described (Adapter Specific Message Attributes and URL are flagged).
Following error occours when testing the call:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="PLAINHTTP_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_MISSING_URL</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:Stack>Dynamic Header - Missing Message Attributes: URL/HTTP Destination</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Is there sth. special I have to consider in the HTTP Adapter?
Thanks in advance,
André

Hi Michal,
I´m passing the URL to the attribut "TargetURL" by using a UDF in my mapping.
In the adapter I have flagged "URL".
So the value of TargetURL set in mapping shoul be used as destination in the adapter.
Please have a look onto my UDF used in MM:

Adapter settings:
http://img691.imageshack.us/i/adaptersetting1.jpg/
http://img339.imageshack.us/i/adaptersetting2.jpg/
How can I check that the TargetURL is successfully set as a dynamic parameter?
Thanks,
André

How to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes

Hi, i've searched without success how to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes (as it exists in Windows Live Mail).
For me, it would be very useful to search in only one folder when i try to find something in sent and received mails.
Thank's

This is what Unified Folders does. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve.
