My smart folder in my mail box is empty I can not find anything where can I get it

My smart folders on my mail are empty and have been for some time not sure when they vaporized but they have been empty for sometime now. I now need to make a new one but am afraid, Please advise

Hi Mike,
Smart Folders aren't really folders at all, but really just pointers to Mails that meet certain criteria, if they're empty now there's a setting elsewhere that is likely deleting or removing those Mail after a certain time.
Right click or Control+click on one of those Smart boxes & choose Edit Smart Mailbox, check the criteria out, it may contain something Like If... Last viewed was 30 days or less, in which case they would disappear after not being viewed for 30 days even though you did nothing, the eMails would still be where they were originally though.

  • I created a new smart folder within my mail box.

    Now, how do I move messages from the in box to this new folder?

    When you created the "Smart Folder" you must have put in some kind of search criteria, like the sender is part of a particular group in your addressbook, or the subject of an email contains a certain word.
    Name the Smart Folder for it's purpose and let it do it's job of finding incoming emails with the proper conditions.

    You mean the Aperture serial number?
    If you have a second installation of Aperture, you can see the serial number in the "About" panel from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
    Else you will have to contact Apple with a proof of purchase for a replacement serial number, see the following support page:

  • Why does a "Today" smart folder appear in Mail and How do I Keep it from Reappearing Every Day?

    I use two Macs daily, each running 10.9.2. On my home machine, every day at 12 AM, a smart folder called "Today" appears in Mail. I delete it, and the following midnight, another instance appears; lather, rinse repeat. I can see no control that will prevent its zombielike reappearance. I never asked for it or sought it out, it just keeps reappearing. On my work machine, which is left on 24 x 7 (as my home machine is five days a week), nothing of the sort occurs.
    Why, Apple, why? Why, Apple community, why? I can find no documentation And why is the behavior different on two machines, both updated to 10.9.2 from previous versions, on none of which did this brain-eating behavior occur?
    For what it's worth, I have an Exchange IMAP account and two (2) POP accounts on each machine.

    I recently moved most of my accounts to another mail client, deleted all my mail related stuff from Library including the entire V2 folder, restarted fresh then just have icloud account in there. I have the smart box. Maybe it is an icloud smartbox? Do you have icloud in Mail?

    Thanks, Barney. Nice of Apple to document this so conveniently for us. But sincerely, thanks.
    I've never needed any documentation. Optional behavior has always been accessed using the Option key, going back to Classic Mac OS.

  • How can I back up mail boxes to an external drive (not using Time Machine)?

    I recently lost all of my mailboxes when switching from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion; I still have all of my emails, just without the mailboxes I'd created over the past 6 years to organize these emails.  The files that control organization information for Mail, iPhoto, and iTunes must not be obvious.  The 2 Apple "Geniuses" who wiped my computer after assuring me I'd backed up everything I needed clearly didn't think of mailboxes (Mail), events and albums (iPhoto), and playlists and ratings (iTunes) -- lost all of those.  Would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me where to find the organizational files for Mail that contain the "smart" and regular mailboxes.  Thank you!

    Are you referring to mailboxes as in different email domain providers (AOL, Yahoo, GMail, etc???)
    Or are you referring to mailboxes as in archived folders with various messages in each?
    If the latter, have you considered moving it all to iCloud and not storing anything locally?
    I have my folders/boxes in iCloud and dont' botehr with storing anything locally anymore. Too much pain to worry about saving the mailboxes on a USB stick any time you reinstall your OS X.
    Moreover ,the new versions always needed to be updated after you imported them back into Mail app.
    Just a thought....
    Unless you have more than 5GB of mail stored, I woudl consider moving it to iCloud once and for all.

  • Large mail box (87GB total) how can I delete the data?

    I have a mail box that has a total of 87GB of data. The content is no longer needed. How do I delete the content but not the mail box? 

    In Exchange 2007 you need to use Export-Mailbox ex:
    export-mailbox -id <username> -deletecontent -confirm:$false
    Ratish Nair (aka MSExchangeGuru) has a great article on this topic:
    Delete emails from mailboxes – Exchange 2007
    Keep in mind that to run the Export-Mailbox cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
    Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
    Full access to the source mailbox
    Export-Mailbox Addition Information

  • My ''clever mail boxes'' are empty after installing mavericks

    Hello,
    I work on an Imac 27" 16GB ram OS X 10.9
    After migration from OS X 10.8 to 10.9 everything looks well with no missing email in any account no emails problems but my clever mails boxes are now empty!  all intelligent boxes are completely empty!
    When I use the ''search'' it works just for the first results, but not for the details !! Because when I choose one of the proposed research results, it gives me always a blank page!
    Outside the Mail software, Spotlight works really very well
    I checked if nothing was fired in spotlight I made several rebuilding the spotlight index, but the problem persists, I do not know what to do?
    Does someone has an idea? thank you
    Thank you

    Hello
    Thanks a lot  !!!
    I had a look of what you wrote and I have found the problem
    In the spotlight system preferences, mail was checked in the
    search results, but library was not in the " confidentiality " or
    "Privacy" tab
    Thanks
