New Mail in Inbox is appearing than disappearing

I just received two emails and as I clicked on one and started to read, it just disappeared. Was not in Junk Mail though others from today were. I searched everywhere and totally gone. Luckily I forward all to Gmail otherwise I would have never have known about it.
Have rebuilt inbox and junk. Is that enough?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. Mail disappears after coming in, a rebuild helps to get the messages back but only until I change mailbox (folder), then I have to rebuild them again...

  • New mail notification counter not appearing in dock

    I've noticed recently that my new mail notification counter doesn't appear in the dock if I have Mail sitting in the background. I can be working in, say, Word, and not know I have new mail. Yet, when I go to Mail there are emails sitting there (and the dock counter appears as soon as I go to Mail.
    Not a major problem, I agree, but it would be nice to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the replies. I do have preferences set as you suggest but am not getting the notifications when Mail is in the background. I'll just live with it...

  • Click on new mail and old messages appear

    Hi, I've had this problem sporadically for several months. I am using my Gmail account as well as a school account via IMAP with Mail. Every now and then I get a new message in my inbox, and when I click on it, the contents of the message, as well as the sender, subject, date, are all from a random older message in my inbox.
    The new message header information appears correctly when it arrives in my inbox, but then when I click on it to read it all the info is wrong and is from an older message. When I log in directly via gmail there is no problem. Yesterday and today this has happened with five e-mails. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    I am having exactly the same problem. I logged the problem with Apple, they tried to resolve it, determined it to be a database corruption specific to the Administrator account (problem does not occur with other users). Solution = delete Admin user & recreate. This is not a viable option for me, so I'm using Entourage for mail instead.

  • As of noon today, when I try to access my Yahoo mail, the encrypted icon appears & then disappears showing the "partially encrypted" so can't sign in. .

    The "partially encrypted" icon is not orange (it is grey), however it is like the icon shown as "unencrypted" and when clicked on reflects the "partially encrypted message". I have spent hours trying to determine what the problem is. The "normal padlock" appears first (has always been grey), then immediately disappears and the triangle shaped icon is there. Any and all advice will be sincerely appreciated as I do not know if the site is secure or not (although it does show the "https" in the address.
    I have used Firefox for more years than I can recall, and never encountered a problem like this.

    In case the problem is an old style sheet or script, or an obsolete cookie setting, try clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How do I change the way Mail notifies me of new mail? My notifier appears and just stays on the screen until I acknowledge it.

    A while back I changed a setting in Mail pertaining to notification of a new email arrival. The banner stays locked on the screen until I take an action. It used to display and then disappear soon afterward. I can't remember how I adjusted the setting, or even where the settings for notifier are. Can someone help?

    Go back to preference
    >System Preferences>Notifications>Mail> change from Alerts to Banners (or None if you do not prefer to see them.)

  • Sent messages come back as new mail in inbox...

    Whenever I send an email from my iPhone's Gmail account to someone else, it always comes back to me as a new message. It only does this with my iPhone and not my computer. Why is that? Shouldn't it be sent to the "Sent" folder? Or is this normal? Please help me, as this is getting annoying.
    -M.R.P.

    It is normal. Perform a search on the iPhone forums and you will get your answer. That is how gmail works it is not the fault of the iPhone. From the main screen tap settings - email - your gmail account - advanced - scroll all the way down and tap use recent mode. That will stop the iPhone from displaying new messages that you send yourself.

  • TS3276 When i receive a message in Mail it does not appear in my inbox

    When i revieve a message in mail it does not appear in my in box until i click away from the in box by going into sent mail and then returning to the in box, this has only started happening since i have moved onto Maveric OS, any ideas anyone?

    I found the answer on another forum by '''Tom Wijsman''':
    Go to Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor.
    Find the Name mail.pop3.deleteFromServerOnMove
    Set it to True.
    True: Delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you move or delete the message.
    False(default): Only delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you delete the message.
    That's it, restart Thunderbird. You need to press 'Get Mail' everytime you want to sync with the email server, in order for you to make sure messages in the application is in sync with the email server.
    The following should be emphasized to realize the sync with the server. You will not see your server message disappear upon the initial Get Mail download (new messages downloaded). After you process your Inbox in Thunderbird by deleting/moving a new message, then do another Get Mail which will delete the new messages previously downloaded on the server (put in sync).
    Note: If you have older messages in your Thunderbird Inbox, they will not be deleted from Server. Delete them manually from server. From then on, any new messages you download, then process (delete/move), and then do the sync by doing Get Mail again WILL be deleted.

  • Mail Inbox and Sent box disappeared

    The Inbox and Sent boxes appear empty and do not respond. Trying to move messages from other boxes to the Inbox results in a message saying the box does not exist.
    Not able to send or receive mail to the computer. MobileMe works.
    Have recovered the last inbox, but cannot move the recovered msgs to the Inbox.
    Cannot rebuild the Inbox as that item in the menu is grayed out.
    Reindexing the boxes does not solve the issue.
    Questions: Is there a fix within the current configuration that does not lose the contents of either box? Would downloading a new Mail app fix the problem and recognize the old mailboxes? If I have to install a new Mail app, where do I get it?
    Appreciate any help

    all the mail content (but not the headers) in my Inbox and Sent box disappeared.
    Setting up the same account twice in Mail is probably what got you into trouble. I suspect Mail simply removed all mailboxes associated with that account without checking to see whether they belonged to the original or the dupe.
    Do the disappeared messages from my Inbox, and their attachments, all exist somewhere on my Mac even though I can't see them (I have searched the Library)?
    Very unlikely. Try looking in the ~/Library/Mail/ folder (where '~' means "your user folder). See if there are any mailboxes still there that might be appropriate, and try duplicating them to the desktop and then import them into a new mailbox. That's unlikely to work, but you never know.
    Is there any utility out there that might help me to find them?
    If they're really gone, no. If you have backups, you can restore them from the backup, of course. But without backups, the best you'll be able to do is try a data recovery tool, which is unlikely to give very good results in this case, but would be worth a try if there's no other option.
    And what happens to attachments in Mail nowadays, when there seems to be no separate Attachments folder?
    Attachments are stored with the message, just like they are sent across the internet as part of the message. They are not automatically decoded and saved as individual files somewhere. That happens when you either open them or tell Mail to save them somewhere.

  • Mail in inbox has disappeared

    I use Apple Mail with Panther 10.3.9. Mail was open and the machine got hung up (spinning beach ball) I could not force quit anything, it was completely unresponsive, so I shut down and restarted. When I re-launched Mail, the contents of my main POP account were gone. No other folders were affected. I tried to restore it by deleting all contents of the inbox.mbox file except the mbox file (7.9 MB) and then putting the inbox.mbox in the home/library/mail/POP account folder and restarting mail, but it did not work. All I got was a new, empty folder/mailbox named INBOX which is empty. I opened the mbox file in text edit, and it was all of my messages, so they are there, I just need to get them back into mail message format. I have over 20G of free space on the drive. Anybody have any other suggestions to restore my messages? Thanks in advance!

    Not sure what the situation is now, but here’s what I would have suggested to solve the original problem.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a copy of Inbox), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
    3. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Open Mail. A new empty INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will allow you to continue using Mail normally while trying to solve the problem.
    Although INBOX.mbox appears to be a file, it’s actually a special kind of folder (a package) that contains several files. Ctrl-click on INBOX.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains. Of these files, mbox is the most important and is where all your messages are stored. What’s the size of that file? Depending on its size, you may or may not be able to directly import it back into Mail in the next step.
    An Incoming_Mail file may also be present, in which case it might contain messages that Mail couldn’t transfer to mbox. Incoming_Mail is also a standard mbox file like mbox proper, just named differently, and can be imported back into Mail in the same way.
    5. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import the INBOX.mbox that’s on the Desktop. I’m not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.x are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox or something like that, so that Mail looks at the mbox file only (and Incoming_Mail, if present) and ignores the other files in the package.
    If Mail doesn’t let you select INBOX.mbox in step 5 because it’s a package instead of a plain folder, rename INBOX.mbox to just INBOX (i.e. remove the .mbox suffix) so that it becomes a normal folder, and try again. You cannot do this directly in the Finder because removing a suffix by normal means causes the Finder to hide the suffix instead of renaming the file. To remove the suffix from the name, you must do File > Get Info (⌘I) on the file and change the name there.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username). Hence, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username/Library).

  • Mail not showing new mail until I switch out of and back into INBOX

    When new mail is downloaded, the messages do not appear in the INBOX until I have moved to (clicked on) another mailbox and then moved back to INBOX. The unread message count reflects the correct number of unread messages until the above procedure has been followed. Similarly, when messages are moved to another mailbox, the messages sometimes do not leave the INBOX list until the same procedure is followed. This is a relatively recent problem (last couple of months, I think). Any ideas?

  • Whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view?

    whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view. Kindly help me to solve this continuous problem.

    I confirm this is a known bug and Microsoft are working on a fix. They plan to fix this before Firefox 4 reaches release candidate phase.
    A workaround is to change a preference in Firefox:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''html5.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
    If you do this, remember to set the preference back to true by double-clicking on it again when Firefox 4 release candidate is made available, the bug should be fixed by then.

  • I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

  • Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

    I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic.  When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
    Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also.  If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
    I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO.  This was never before say one or two months before.
    The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.
    Regards
    Venkat

    I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD".  Now the Trash is empty.   I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat

  • New mail in the Inbox disconnects my wifi.

    For some time now my i7 iMac is experiencing wifi disconnection when new mail arrives in my Inbox. I have turned off Notifications and tried alternative user accounts without success. The radio waves icon remains at full strength display requiring a toggle off and on again to get Safari working once more. Safari is not the problem though because software updates get stopped too by incoming mail when Safari is not running.
    My other devices retain the wifi connection. Its only the iMac that has the problem.
    All my devices are running Mavericks or iOS7 as appropriate. Any ideas anyone?
    AW.

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
    Step 4
    This step will erase some of your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Recreate your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
