New mail now goes straight to trash!

I've been using Mac Mail and .mac, mobileme and icloud for years. This past week (or more?) some/most but not all icloud mail seems to go straight to trash unread rather than inbox. This even happened (and alerted me to a problem) when I was looking out for mail while on the phone to sender, who eventually had to send it to me at gmail instead when we got tired of waiting for it to arrive. Otherwise I would not have investigated and found several pieces of missing recent mail!
Not all mail goes to trash, but I can't see any pattern; for instance, one mail (received) asked for feedback on a previous item (not received). This inconsistency is scary because you don't know what you might be missing without continually checking trash. Tempted to abandon icloud mail for the time being?
I have checked and confirmed that I have not changed any mail preference settings (behaviours and rules). This 'missing mail' phenomenon has been consistent across my mac (OSX-ML) and IOS6 devices.
Help?

Thanks so much for trying to help. I really appreciate it.
Yes, the list of folders appears to all be correct.
Trash says: move deleted to trash (check), store deleted on server (check) & perm erase when 1 month old.
All accounts have the same setting, except the pop but it is very close and it's not the one with the problem.

Incoming messages going straight to trash

Suddenly my Incoming email messages are going straight to the trash. I start my computer. I have nothing in the inbox it is completely empty. If I click on sent, those messages remain and if I click on trash all my new messages and anything that was previously in my inbox is now there. I drag them to the inbox, but I do not want to have to keep doing this every morning. I am running OS 10.6.8 on an iMac. I have Mail 4.6 After reading some online stuff, I tried repairing permissions after safe reboot. I deleted User/Your UserName/Library/Mail/Enveope.index and rebooted, but did not work. Clicked on inbox and selected rebuild also did not work. I have no rules set up, but the apple default which I unchecked as well. Our email did switch from a POP to an IMAP, but this did not start happening until a few weeks after that change occured. First few weeks after the change no problems so I am not sure if it is related. The old POP account is still listed there, but it has not received anything since the day of the switch. I am going to delete that and see if that helps. Any other ideas?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

My mail is going automatically to trash. help!

I have an icloud mail address, and some how over the weekend my entire inbox dissapeared, and now every email I recieve moves to trash once I've read it. Did I change something in the settings by accident? Can I get my old emials back?

Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Not able to forward/reply mails in Apple Mail but new mail is going out

I am using Apple Mail program for my mails, for last 3-4 days I am not able to forward or reply a mail but i am able to send if i compose a new email

Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

BT Wholesale Tester now goes straight into the TAP...

...directly after the initial centred 3 line down/up/ping message, bypassing the first further diagnostics test with the wide red and green bands?
Could someone explain why this is now happening please?
(Incidently, for those who said my speed wouldn't increase after having my DLM reset Tuesday my DL speed has increased from 44Mbps then, to 46Mbps now!)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

See this link about various tests. It is a few years old but I would imagine still relevant.

For some reason my iMac now goes straight to the login screen. I tried to change this in Preferences but Automatic Login isn't highlighted, so I'm unable change it from Off to On. Help please.

As you can see Off at the top of the pic is faint and I cannot find a way of getting to it to change it to On. If can change it to 'On' I presume I won't get the login screen/page after turning on the Mac??

So this was set to Automatic login and then it changed, correct?
What other changes did you make to the system, filevault, workgroup manager, something else?
If the lock is unlocked as you say then something else must have have changed to prevent this setting from being changed. Any information you can supply might lead to a solution.

I am new to MAC and while working in Mail I inadvertently deleted my entire Inbox. All emails are now parked in the Trash bin and I would like to transfer them back to the Inbox can someone tell me how?

I am new to MAC and while working in Mail I inadvertently deleted my enitre Inbox. All emails from Inbox are now parked in the Trash bin and I want to restore them to the Inbox does anyone know how to do this?

More tedious but more inuitive, you can select each email or a group of emails and drag and drop them wherever you want, including Inbox.

Why is my new mail going to an "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder?

I've discovered that my new mail is now longer going to the regular Inbox. It's now landing in a new "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder. Why? How can I reset this back to the regular new mail inbox?
I tried renaming the folder in the directory but mail still is defaulting there. I've check to make sure I don't have a filter to do this, no filter for this account.

Use C:\YourWebSite (where C: is your hard drive).

I want to move my mail account (exactly how it is on my laptop now) to my new mail account on mavericks

I want to move my mail account (exactly how it is on my laptop now) to my new mail account on mavericks (which is on a new SSD drive) then i am going to format the old hard drive so i can use it as an extra hard drive.
Surely it should be easy?
I thought i could just drop the mail folder but it looks different on Maverick.
I also have a hard drive back up of the old folders and also a time machine back up.
I'm a total dummy.. so go easy on me please

Export makes a mailbox package whihc I thinkis what's need to properly restore on import.
See below for location of export.
For restoring from Time machine here's is the help text for doing so. (I've only done this on individual messages)
I also think if you copy everything in ~/Library/Mail you may be all-right.

Email I send to myself goes to straight to Trash

Over the years I have occasionally sent emails to myself. They have always appeared as new mail in my Inbox, just like any other email. Apple Mail recently began moving emails I send to myself directly to Trash.
I can't be sure but I believe the problem started when I installed OS X Yosemite, not when I installed iOS 8.
There is not even momentary visibility in my Inbox. The sent email shows up in Sent. In Trash the email is marked as "unread."
Behavior occurs for email originating from iPhone 5s, iPad Mini RD, or Macbook Pro. Emails appear in Sent and Trash consistently across devices. I don't own any non-Apple products.
I've held off inquiring for awhile thinking the bug would get worked out, but it is still happening. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Macbook Pro mid-2009; OS X 10.10.1; Mail 8.1
iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.1

Pretty well all the mail on my Virgin webmail account does go to my desktop Apple Mail program, I've just double checked that. The occasional item goes into the Spam box on the webmail account but not emails from myself. Whatever is going on is happening within Apple Mail, and I don't particularly want to change the program I use. I don't have any other problems with it. It puts mail into Junk if the sender is not in my address book, but my email address is in my address book so why is it junking it? I suspect it's something to do with the fact that this email address is also the one I use to send emails from Apple Mail because other emails from myself from different email accounts I use are not diverted to Junk.

For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??

Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4.

While creating a new email, various portion of the mail will appear in the trash box.

after creating a new email and send sucessfully, breakdown of the full content in the mail will appear in the trash box without my intention. The breakdown were in seperate uncompleted mail/mails depending on the lenght of the email. Everytime after a simple email of about 3-5 sentences conpriseing of less then 30 words, 5 - 10 seperate trash box mail appeared. it worst when duration is longer while creating the email. Any advise to eliminate this situation??

You probably have "Store draft messages on the server" checked in the Mailbox Behaviors of the mail account(s) on which you are experiencing this, and the server's reaction to having a second, third, etc. draft of the same message stored is to put the older copy in the trash. Not all servers react like this, but some like Gmail seem to so do.
If you won't need to change Macs in the middle of composing an email message and can live with retyping a message you were composing at the time of a crash, you can probably turn off this feature.

Just locked my Macbook Pro and now it goes straight to recovery.

I just tried if the lock Mac works on the find my iPhone. My laptop froze and restarted. Now every time I boot, my laptop goes straight to recovery HD. I tried holding option when rebooting and when I chose macintosh HD, it still goes to recovery. It doesn't even ask me for the passcode. My windows bootcamp still works and my mac files are still ok. Apparently I can run my laptop properly but only through safe mode. What should I do?

Did you try booting off your Install disk holding the c key down. From here you can get to the drop down menu just a few clicks in (you are not going to install) and run the Disk Utility>Repair Disk. See if it will let you do this.
