Need to import 20 email accounts from Mail.app to my iPhone 6.

HI,
At one time I would see a listing in iTunes of all the email accounts I could import into my iPhone 4.
I did that for a while but then was running low on space and deleted all the email accounts on the phone.
Now I have an iPhone 6 with more room and want to import the accounts.
But the listing is no longer shown in iTunes. (must have gone away in one of the updates).
I have iCloud linking my Safari tabs across my devises so I think iCloud is running properly.
Is there a quick way to get the accounts into my phone? Or do I have to add them one at a time?
Thanks for any tips/info.

It does sound like the index is corrupted - if the messages aren't in the index, then the fact that they're in the mbox still won't let mail see them.
Are there a lot of messages that are missing?
if it's not too many - then open each one from the mbox-messages - then click message-move to from the mail menu & "move " them to the folder they're already in - after that they'll be visible in the mail app. actually , choose "move to xxx again" - it saves time. It doesn't matter if you do this to a message that is already visible in mail.
I don't know a quick way to do this - but you can select multiple messages from the library & ctrl-click-open which at least opens a load at once.
moving them in finder, or trying to import from a copy of the folder doesn't help.
There's probably a much easier way - try some serious searching of these discussions.

  • I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

  • How to setup email account on mail app?

    I currently have an ".edu" account that I usually log-in through a browser.
    I usually place my email username in mail.office365.com then redirects me to adfs."school here".edu
    Then I usually do the actual login username and password for the organizational account.
    We are currently using the Outlook Web App on our school email.
    So, I don't know how to use this .edu account for the mail app in Windows 8.1.
    Is there any manual settings to add a microsoft account in windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    Did you mean that you want to add a “.edu” account to Mail App (Tile)in win8.1, if so, please open mail app, move mouse to the right edge, click Settings>Accounts>Add an account>Other Account.
    But to get started with Mail app, you need a Microsoft account, see detailed information in this link:

  • My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

    MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
    My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
    Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App.  It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
    Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
    Thank you.

    Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
    the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
    The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
    Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
    Cheers

  • Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

    Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
    I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
    Any help with this?

    I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7.  Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
    In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
    We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message.  I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
    In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
    The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
    I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
    For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability.   Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

  • Cannot sort emails sent from Mail App and Exchange

    When trying to sort emails on Outlook in Windows, lets say by "Flag", emails coming from a mac using mail app and exchange get placed at the top of the list.
    Have tried sending emails from the same account via webmail and iphone and they get sorted correctly.
    Anyone has had this problem?

    So, Here's what happens:
    1) Send email from Laptop (Snow Leopard) with Exchange Integration
    2) Send email from iPhone (3.1) with Exchange Integration
    In Outlook 2003 sort by flag (neither of these messages are flagged). Any email sent from the Snow Leopard is sorted first in the Unflagged category in Outlook. Any of the email sent from the iPhone is sorted normally.
    There's no differences in the headers to cause these to sort differently. The only headers that differ are the Date, Subject/Thread-Topic, Thread-Index, Message-ID, x-ems-stamp. But, in the Message-ID it has the same domain.
    Both Snow Leopard and iPhone are configured to use the same Exchange OWA/OWS.

  • TS4002 My iCloud email account in mail.app keeps been 'disconnected' despite me having full internet access...

    As description,
    I keep having issues where mail.app keeps losing collection to the icloud account for no apparent reason, even though I have full Internet access?
    any ideas?

    Sorry David,
    Really appreciate your help did not mean to confuse things.
    I am having issues primarily with mail.app in osx (keeps diconnecting)
    most of the time mail comes through to my iphone/ipad with no issues. However sometimes I have push issues with the iphone, it breaks until I close and reopen the mail app in ios (I belive this is an issue some others have)
    The issue with ios started when i transitioned to iCloud from MobileMe (was .mac previous to this) the issue with osx only staretd with Mountain Lion?
    Hope this is now clear. (Could the issue be server side, apples end?)

  • Mail on my touch locks email account on Mail.app on Mac

    When I use the mail application of the touch it locks up the account on my Mac in Mail.app. Is there a way to prevent this and still use the email on the touch?

    This appeared to be caused by the fact that I keep all my email on the email server for at least 30 days. and It took time to process all of my email.

  • Email originating from Mail.app is junked

    Community,
    My company is using Exchange 2003 for our email server, which has had its series of troubles. However, the most recent one seems related to the new Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, instead of an aging Exchange server.
    Email is set up as IMAP on both mobile and desktop devices. This is due to the lack of Exchange support in newly released versions of Mac OS.
    The strange thing is, that email sent from the desktop computers, even to other emails in our domain ([email protected] <--> [email protected]), show up as Junk. However, emails from the iPhones or iPads do not.
    Has anyone seen an issue like this? We're starting to troubleshoot a variety of possiblities to begin finding the issue, but there are literally a thousand different reasons this might happen... Could be awhile!
    Thanks for any information,
    Charlie

    This has not been a problem with the use of Lion as the source of messages?
    I suspect it is due to the presence of HTML in messsage text, which as been a problem in OSX for a long time, but only in Lion did it become harder to prevent by making the message Plain Text.  I know how to prevent Rich Text/HTML in Lion, and suspect the same is needed for Mountain Lion but have not yet had time to confirm as the same issue.
    If you send me an email that will typically get marked as Junk, it might speed my analysis.  My email can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.
    The server may be adding a Junk or SPAM labeling, and your email may only be responding to that header -- that is one of the thing I need to see from an example.

  • How do I sync email accounts from my mac to my iPhone?

    I used to be able to sync my email accounds to my phone using iTunes.  I dont see that option anymore?

    With the iPod connected to your computer, go to the Summary pane under devices (your iPod) and check the appropriate boxes.  From the Users Guide:'
    Calendars
    Â
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft
    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple
    applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Outgoing email completely lost (Mail app with Gmail account) - Insanely awkward

    This is gonna be hard to explain as I have no "evidence" but here's what happened for the 3rd time now in the last 2-3 months on Yosemite using a Gmail account from Mail app.
    I write a mail (either reply or new one), send it and it get's completely lost. Can't find it anywhere neither from within the Mail app nor in Gmail's web interface. No error message, nothing. At first I thought I closed my laptop too soon after I hit the send button. I don't even know how to Google this issue, most of the similar issues and resolutions talk about SMTP and/or authentication errors, but again I don't have any error message.
    In one instance the message was indeed not delivered, in another one (that just happened to me yesterday) the recipient received the message but I still can't find it.
    Anyone ever experienced the same?
    While this is very low amount of occurrence, it is still very very annoying and creates awkward situations in a business context. I always think people who say "I have sent the message, haven't you received it?" are lying because there's no way an email gets lost like this.. And now I'm the one for the third time that asks this the other party.
    Anyone knows a way I could trace a message from some log file or anything? Any suggestions, insights are welcome.
    Thanks
    Dan
