My Trash folder is no longer visible on mail sidebar

Only my inbox is visible on the Mail sidebar. I no longer can find by Trash, Juck, and Archive folders.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings such as On My Mac. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for Mailboxes), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The Mailboxes category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.
Note also that you may have to scroll the mailbox list up or down to see all of it.

Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder. However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it). It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does. If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted. However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad? When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
Thank you very much,
Jesse

I figured it out. Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages." I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

External Drive No Longer Visible

My external drive is no longer showing up either in the finder, on the desktop or if I click the computer name under the devices tab on the sidebar. The only way to access this drive at all is to open up disk utilities, select the drive, right click the drive and choose Open "XXXX". If I choose Reveal "XXXX" in Finder it opens to the Volumes area and that drive is not visible.(see screenshot) The finder preferences have external drives set to show up in the sidebar and on the desktop.
I can access folders and files on the drive if I place a shortcut for that file/folder on the desktop. But even when using this method the drive shows up in the sidebar but is grayed out. (see screen capture below)
This drive is shared via Mountain Lion Server and shows up fine for systems connecting to it via the network.
I recently manually changed the permissions of this volume and propagated them via the server utility (we were having permissions issues with certain folders and files for server users). After that I ran a couple of updates to the computer. I suspect one of these was the culprit, although that could be just a coincidence.
We have a bit for bit copy of this drive (SuperDuper) that is on an internal drive in this computer and it shows up fine.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am going to try trashing the p-list file, but as this is an actively used server I can't take it down for any length of time during working hours.
Facts:
Mac Pro 5,1 Quad Core Xeon
OS 10.82
The Drive is a 13TB Promise V-Track RAID connected via Fibre Channel
Drive shows up as Mounted in Disk Utility
External Drives are set to be visible in Finder & Sidebar Preferences

Update:
Ran ANOTHER server update from the APP store. Then rebooted. Nothing changed.
Found another thread that suggested deleted you com.apple.finder.plist and rebooting so I gave that a try. Now NONE of my drives are showing up in the finder other than the drive the OS lives on.
Same behavior and I can still access the drives via Disk Utility using "Open XXX " command.
For now I have created Aliases to both so I can at least get to them via the desktop.
H-E-L-P
Please

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. Any solutions?

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

TS4153 few files and folder are not deleting from trash folder

i am trying to delete all files and folders from the trash folder by clicking empty securely, but its not deleteing the files anf folder. please suggest how to clean the trash folder by deleteing all the deleted files and folder.

Securely deleting items in Trash writes Zeros over the data so that it is completely eradicated.
This will take quit a long time depending on how much data you have in Trash.
Unless there is data that needs to be rendered unrecoverable in the Trash, you could choose to just delete the files and folders with out the secure option.
Once you have Emptied the Trash unsecurely you can always use disk utility to Securely Erase Free Space on the Drive.

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

How can I delete the contents in Cache.Trash folder (not the normal Cache folder)?

Recently, I keep receiving notice of "Hard Disk is Full - You have run out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Clean-up". But after I removed a substantial sizes of files to another drive, in a short while, the notice reappear again. I was puzzled and take a check on the files and folders in drive C and realized the problem came from those unknown files in the folder named Cache.Trash (not the normal Cache folder although they are located side by side). Some files sizes are shockingly large ranging from 2GB to 5GB. They have strange and difficult to identify File Name and File Types. When I checked the Properties of those files, they have unknown MS-DOS name, Created, Modified and Accessed dates. When I tried to delete those files directly, a notice of "Error Deleting File: Cannot delete file: File system error (1026)" appeared. Note: There are still many Free Space available in other disk drives. Any idea please?

There is no session crash here. On others start, the Cache.Trash folder and its contents still there. When a ScanDisk program is performed, after some time, a notice appeared, "ScanDisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive. Quitting some running programs may enable ScanDisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning?" So I closed any other running application and program and restart the ScanDisk program again. After some time, the notice appeared again. I clicked No to indicate do not want to continue receiving this warning and the program keep repeating running.....how long will the program take?

How to get trash folder in finder?

How to get trash folder in finder?

Hello Neil,
Here's a challenging adjunct to the physical location of trash question above. I moved home folder of my login to a different partition (data only) which all worked fine. Then I trashed the original home folder which was on the Boot OSX partition (just to be tidy as it was not needed any longer) now the MBA says "cannot logon to this user for the time being". So I clearly need to return the original home directory back from trash to my logon folder (eve though it is not really used).
However, how can I access my original logon user directory in trash when I am unable to logon? Logged on to the root directory and using your go to folder solution above I have found the trash for root but I am unable to find the trash for my actual logon (which contains the trashed home directory)!
Any thoughts sir? Thanks for your help.

My iPhone 5 is no longer visible to my PC via Windows Explorer

My iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.02) is no longer visible to my PC (running Windows 7) via Windows Explorer. In the past, I have been able to see the phone listed as a Device in Windows Explorer when connected via USB cable, and could navigate to the DCIM folder to see and copy photos just like any other hard driver.
Since installing iOS 8.02, the phone no longer appears in Windows Explorer.
If this is no longer possible, how can I transfer photos from iPhone to PC? I have tried clicking around in iTunes, but can't find any relevant functionality there, either - am I missing something?

You're welcome. There are many blurred lines with respect to iOS 8 photo management -- i.e. is the photo actually on the device, or only in iCloud? If it is in iCloud only, and you put it into an album on the iPhone, does it get downloaded to the device and is it still full resolution?
Part of the problem may be that there are still some unfinished things with respect to photos. The "iCloud Photo Library" feature seen in pre-iOS 8 release is still in beta form, so whenever that gets full release there could be some sense in all this. There's also the pending replacement of iPhoto and Aperture on the Mac platform, slated to be replaced by a new "Photo" app, so that may play into the big picture on photo management.
But for the time being, I don't feel that the changes to photo management in iOS 8/ iCloud have been for the better. I can only hope that we get a more elegant photo management process with these pending changes.

Sometimes Mail is slow emptying trash folder or sending emails with attachments

This happens occasionally- but enough to be an annoyance!
I am about to send an email using Mail to an address, and I wait very patiently while the Mail program makes a copy, communicates with server, then finally sends the email. Sometimes, to send an email with a simple attachment, this can take as long as three to four minutes!
Another related problem is Emptying the Trash folder.
Sometimes it takes an inordinate amount of time to do this, and other times such "deletion" takes mere few seconds.
I wonder what it is I'm doing wrong.

Hi
The context of this question is:
* I've had an Apple iMac for just over 3 years;
* and I've been using their 'Mail' application to send/receive emails;
* but not infrequently, when I send an email with one or more attachments all of the email doesn't get to the recipient;
* and after working with Apple and getting nowhere;
* I'm now using Thunderbird instead of Mail.
I like Thunderbird, but I've noticed that if I send an email with an attachment (an example is an email I've just sent with a 2.6MB attachment), it takes a while to both (a) first send and then (b) copy the email to my 'send' folder.
Are there any 'settings' changes I can make to speed things up, or do I just need a bigger machine? (I've noticed that over the 3+ years I've had the iMac, it's got progressively slower and slower.)
Regards

Many thanks

'Recovered Files' in my iMac Trash folder

I have iMac that was upgraded to Mavericks in January. But only recently I have been seeing a folder, called 'Recovered Files', suddenly showing up in the Trash folder every day, despite deleting it daily. This folder contains file called 'MerpAD Office365'. I have no idea what this file is, and am unable to open it after restoring it to my desktop. What is this file, where does it come from, what is it for, what automatic process is putting it into my Trash folder, and why? Is it some sort of "secret" file? A forum member once said last year to just ignore it because it is harmless. Well, if someone knows that it's harmless, why is there so much secrecy about it?! Any chance of an answer to this question directly from Apple, because it seems to me the user community has been frustrated long enough on the whys and wherefores behind this Recovered-Files-in-Trash issue.

Office365 in the title would suggest it is something to do with Microsoft Office, if you have the latest version.
Recovered Files in the Trash are files that the OS puts there at restart, if it discovers a file that hasn't been "put away" properly.
There is no secrecy. It's just OS X doing housekeeping. If you want to ask someone, ask Microsoft why their apps aren't tidying up after themselves.

Book no longer visible in Projects tab of Inspector - How do I get it back?

Something happened in a Time Machine backup and although the project I was working on is still visible in the "project tab" of Inspector, the book I designed and printed two days ago is no longer visible. I also had a folder with the photos I was using for the book and it's icon is also gone.
After searching in finder, using the right click and "show package contents," the book is still in the Aperture Library.... it just doesn't show up in the PROJECT TAB of Inspector.
Any suggestions on how to get it to be visible once again? Thanks for any help.

Hi Petria,
Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is the calendar provider? It sounds like this might even be a desktop application and not a web based calendar? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation.
Hopefully this helps!

Accessing trash folder causes folder to lock on server?

Hi,
I've been having this problem. I hope someone can help with some advice:
My workplace IMAP account's trash folder is named "deleted-messages". I use this folder to store my trashed messages on my IMAP server. In Apple Mail, I had mapped this successfully as the Trash folder for about 2 years already. I've been happily using Apple Mail during this time.
A couple of days ago, I could no longer access my deleted-messages folder:
1. each time i deleted a message, Apple Mail would tell me it could not move the message to the 'deleted-messages' folder.
2. each time i tried to view the folder's contents, Apple Mail would not respond and would show me the 'spinning beachball' until I forced a quit.
But I have not had a problem using other email clients (Thunderbird and Pine).
When I logged into my workplace server through a command prompt, I noticed a "deleted-messages.lock" file in my mail directory. I deleted the lock file, and all my other clients are able to access my deleted-messages and delete my mails correctly. However, when I access "deleted-messages" (or Trash) using Apple Mail, I get the same 2 problems listed above, and a new ".lock" file is created in the mail directory.
I can't seem to get around this - I have completely deleted my account in Apple Mail and recreated one, but the same problem arises.
Can someone help me understand what's going on?
thanks!

ok, found the problem - there was a bug with the new imapd service being run...
thanks for reading!
