My "sent" mailbox and "drafts" mailbox have disappeared. Help?

I tried to make a new folder in which to store correspondence, but instead, my whole local folder menu disappeared, and then a few moments later the inbox and trash folders reappeared, but nothing else.

Pop or IMAP mail account?

  • 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...

    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.

  • Why when I send an email does it appear in "sent" and "drafts" mailboxes?

    Often when I send an email a copy appears in both the sent and drafts mailboxes. Why does this happen, and can I stop it appearing in drafts?

    If this is an IMAP account, try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors and uncheck Store drafts on server.

  • I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. Help!

    I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!!  I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
    My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
    What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.
    Thanks for any help!!

  • Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

    Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

    *there's no reason to be paranoid*
    Says Mulder .
    Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
    The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

  • Trash and Drafts Mailbox?

    In mail, only the inbox and sent mailboxes are there. The trash and draft mailboxes aren't in the left mailbox list. Where are these? How do I get to them? How can i put them in the left mailbox list?
    Going to Mailbox > Go To > Drafts or Trash just brings me to a blank mailbox that says no mailbox selected at the top....i've already deleted messages

    Does the problem persist if you quit Mail and open it again?
    From which mailbox did you delete the message? If that mailbox is selected, do you see a Show/Hide Deleted Messages command in the View menu? Does that command appear enabled or disabled?
    Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
    In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • IMAP Email: Sent, Trash, and Draft folder behavior

    I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard where I'm unable to configure or sync the Sent, Trash, and Draft Folders in their specific top level sections. Although, I was able to successfully configure them in this way before I reinstalled Snow Leopard (currently running 10.6.6).
    I had 3 IMAP accounts within three top level folder sections called Inbox (3 accounts), Sent (3 accounts), Draft (3 accounts), and Trash (3 accounts) where all email was stored/synced on the IMAP server hosted by my webhost.
    After reinstalling Snow Leopard, I configured each account the same exact way where the Inbox folder was configured just fine on the top level but now the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders have now moved to the lower level "On My Mac" section where specific sections were created for each account (Example: (Account 1 - Sent, Draft, Trash). Although, I do see a Sent section in the top level with nothing in it.
    When configuring the email, I selected to store sent email, drafts, and trash on the server. Path is currently set to INBOX. I really do not understand why Mail is creating separate lower level "On My Mac" sections and placing the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders in there.
    I greatly appreciate any help or tips I can try to set my IMAP email the way I had it before.

    Select the 'Sent' mailbox in the lower section, choose menu 'Mailbox' > 'Use this Mailbox for' > 'Sent'.
    Repeat the procedure for the other mailboxes (drafts, junk, trash).

  • 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?

    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.

  • Are mailboxes and smart mailboxes really missing?

    Just got my new iPad. Set up mail. Am I missing something, or is creating mailboxes and smart mailboxes really absent here? If so, then it's really not going to be possible for me to jettison my laptop top as I was hoping to do. In which case, color me majorly disappointed.

    Thanks for confirming that I wasn't missing some in context aspect. (I see from another reply that it may be possible to set up Mailboxes within Mobile Me and have them appear on the iPad). As to research, I assumed in buying at this early stage that it would be evolving -- and that Apple will be watching closely to see which additional features to tweak/add. So I've also gone to their feedback page to request this one, plus an ability to view more than 200 msgs at a time.

  • Retention Policy between Mailbox and Archive Mailbox level

    Dear All
    I have some questions about the Retention Policy between Mailbox and Archive Mailbox.
    I want to apply different retention tag on different Mailbox level. 
    In normal case , I would like apply the Retention Policy for Mailbox after 28 days moving to archive Mailbox and over 365 days to be deleted.
    And the Archive Mailbox should be liked deleted the mail over 90 or 180 days.
    But I found that the archive Mailbox is applied the same Retention Policy as the Mailbox one.
    Is it Normal case ? How can I set another retention Policy for My archive Mailbox ?
    Best Regards
    Vincent Chi

    You cannot have a different retention policy for primary and archive mailbox. The policy applied to the primary mailbox also applies
    to the archive mailbox.

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • In Windows 7 I mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and all applications (CS3E, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from programs on the start menu

    WIN7: Mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and now all Adobe apps (CS3, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from the programs list in the start up menu.
    CS5 Bridge is still there so I can get into the photo editor to de-activate it and re-install.
    However, all of CS3 has disappeared so I cannot get into it to de-activate.
    Question 1: Will downloading and re-installing Adobe Application manager get CS3 automatically back?
    Question 2: If not, what to do to get CS3 back things working properly again? Remember, I can't de-activate it.
    Thanks and have a happy day!

    Don't worry about activation unless you are installing on a new and different machine. Simply reinstall in order. It should all work.
    Then install any updates. Product updates
    After that, let me know how it went and if there are any further questions.

  • The column headings in my Response and Summary views have disappeared

    The column headings in my Response and Summary vews have disappeared. I have seen others have had this problem and that the work arounds discussed do not work.
    Can Adobe please advise when this bug is going to be fixed?

    Hi;
    This is not likely to be a bug but users selecting all rows to clean up responses and deleting.  Doing a "Crtl+A" will select the Header row - there is a warning dialog before allowing you to delete the header row but it still happens all the time:
    See this FAQ for how to fix the Headers, if you already looked at the History you'll want to read the part about "touching" each fields label to "fix" the headers:

  • All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly made have disappeared, but my songs are still there. What gives?

    All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly created have disappeared. I have Windows 7 and have decided NEVER EVER to get another 'update' of ITunes...grrr Help!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
