My iCloud mailboxes have disappeared from Mail.app (10.6.8)...

...yet "Window->Connection Doctor" states that "Connection and login to server succeeded.", and I'm still above to view my mail via icloud.com and via my iPod touch and iPad (both 5.1.1); I've been experiencing this problem for more than twenty-four hours now - anybody have any idea what's going on?

Yeah, I've read those threads where I thought the poster might be experiencing the same error as myself - however, none of the posters of those threads are experiencing the same error as myself, and I began experiencing the error early (GMT) on the 16th.

  • Once again, my .mac aliases have disappeared from Mail.... Arghhh! help?

    Once again, with no warning, all my .mac aliases have disappeared from the dropdowns in my Mail app (OS 10.4.11). They still exist in .mac/mobile me webmail, and in Mail i'm still receiving emails addressed to them. But I can't reply to these emails with the alias, nor create new emails with aliases.
    I have tried Sync-ing with the site- i recollect that has worked in the past, but now no change. i have tried adding the aliases in with commas after the primary address in Preferences (as is suggested in KB below), but it does not work- and the next time Prefs is open, they are gone. In Mail preferences, the account is listed as ".mac", which is listed in the KB as one of the correct types (the other being imap).
    I use my .mac aliases a lot, and have for years. i do NOT like or want to go to .mac/me Webmail to be able to use them. i do NOT want to change them to .me addresses/aliases. I can't stand how they just randomly come and go as far as being available as dropdowns in Mail... what the heck is up with Apple? i'm paying $100 for these kinds of services (excuse me, $99) and they can't keep a few aliases available to their own app (Mail)? If they weren't so deeply embedded in my business uses, i'd ditch the whole thing.
    Anyway, enuf ranting; does anyone know the solution or work-around? Nothing in the below KB worked for me, even tho it is supposed to.
    the non-helpful KB: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2296

    If your aliases are disappearing after you enter them, that would indicate that your Mail preferences file has become corrupted. The only solution for that is to delete the com.apple.mail.plist file in Home/Library/Preferences, then restart Mail and setup your account(s) again.
    However, before you do that, you must remove all your mail account folders that being with "IMAP-"; otherwise you'll create more problems for yourself. Those are located in Home/Library/Mail.

  • Messages disappear from mail app?

    since i changed my comp and automaticly transfer from my old one, a power book,every day i open the mail app i find every time less messages inbox and sent...
    i found some messages in librery they have a number and emlx(?)
    does anybody can help me i don't want to loose all the info i have in my mail!

    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
    Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
    Finally, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
    Let me know which are the mailboxes that have the problem.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • My notes have disappeared from Mail

    Suddenly all of the Notes in my Mail app are gone. They are not in Mail's Trash. I imported User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/notes.mbox & there's exactly one note in there. What could have happened? I didn't have Time Machine running - I'm trying to get them off my CrashPlan backup, but this is scary. Where are all my notes?

  • Hi, my Hotmail and icloud mailboxes have disappeared underneath the menu bar. If I drag the screen down I can see them but they pop back up wheb I try to click on them.  How do I fix this?

    My mailboxes have disappered under the menu bar at the top of the screen.  Ican see them if I drag the screen down but they pop back up when I try to click on them.  How can I drag them down below the menu bar?

    Well, in the end I contacted Apple and it was rather hit and miss but the problem was solved by deleteing the com.apple.mail.savedState file.  It took them a bit of time to sort it out and I had to be promoted up the chain of support but it worked.  Hope this is of use to others with the same problem,

  • Groups have disappeared from Mail

    How can I get them back?  They are in iCloud, but want them in Mail.

    Take a look in your Preferences>Accounts>Advanced to make sure the "Enabled" option hasn't been unchecked. That might cause the problem. Mine occasionally go awol and checking Enabled usually solves the problem.

  • Most of my emails have disappeared from mail Inbox

    Hello, last night my emails in my Mail inbox disappeared. I didn't notice at first because the last 10 days are still there, but then I realised that 4 years of email from 1 Nov 2012 up to 2008 (around 20,000 messages) are gone. There are a few for 2008 and then the rest  - I had emails back to 2005 have also disappeared.
    I am not aware of having done anything different last night - all I did was check my mail as usual -  and it was only when I tried to search for an email that I realised my inbox now contains only 300 emails. When I go to iCloud it is the same story. Only 303 emails in my inbox. Trash only contains a few hundred, so its like these emails all just disappeared into the ether
    I have no idea what to do or how this happened or what might have caused it. I run Lion 10.7.4 on an old black Macbook and have not installed anything new or upgraded software. I don't download unusual attachments so doubt it is a virus.
    Is there any way to try to recover them - my inbox is my filing system so years of important stuff is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    thanks

  • ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

    In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated.  After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences.  Why?

    So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application?  Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
    The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

  • SMS mailboxes have disappeared

    After upgrading the software to 3.1 the inbox, outbox and sent mailboxes have disappeared from SMS. Now when I open SMS all I see is one long list of SMS's containing everying I have sent and received. Any ideas on how to get the mailboxes back?

    The iPhone's Messages application has never had an Inbox, Sent, or Outbox. The iPhone's Messages application saves all messages in conversation format by each contact messages are exchange with similar to what an instant messaging application does.

  • I have backed up my iPad to iCloud as prompted but my emails have disappeared from my Mailboxes. Is this suppose to happen and can I access my emails in the iCloud backup, if so how?

    I have backed up my iPad to iCloud as prompted but all my emails have disappeared from my mailboxes, is this suppose to happen? If so, how can I access my backup to see my emails?

    Thank you, I never thought about accessing webmail. They are all there.

  • All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server.  Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page.  If they are gone, then they are really gone.
    Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago.  Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones.  My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
    What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted?  (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

  • The toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari - just grey boxes appearing

    As mentioned in the header to this question, the toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari and from finder windows - just grey boxes appearing without the sumbols that are usually there. Adobe apps are OK as are some others have deactivated any haxies etc, have repaired permissions reset prarmeter RAM

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

    Hi,
    Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
    it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
    Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
    All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
    What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
    The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

  • TS4009 I store important info in my notes app that I refer daily to. Some of my notes have 'disappeared' from my notes list and I cannot find them. Any ideas how to retrieve my lost notes?

    I store important info in my notes app on my Iphone 4S that I refer to daily. Some of my notes have 'disappeared' from my notes app.  Any ideas how to retrieve my lost notes. I am up to date on my software. All notes are  backed up to Icloud. I have approximately 74 notes on my iphone  but Icloud is showing only 15!

    Hi iPheariPhoPad,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with Settings, the Notes app entry isn’t showing up as expected. Take a look at the article linked below and try restarting your iPhone 3GS.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that doesn’t do it, try restoring your iPhone as shown in this article:

    Take care,
