No Mail Shown In Inbox. Mail Accounts Not Now Showing Up In 'Preferences'

Just opened mail to retrieve latest emails. Don't believe that I did anything unusual.Program came up with some message about tracking junk mail and something about a creating a file called "Delivered" and asked whether I wished to see new features!
Had three mail accounts with in and sent mail + .mac account.
Now:
No emails shown in my emails 'Inbox'
Only emails sent via my iphone (.mac account) shown in 'Sent'. No record of emails sent from this computer from three other email accounts.
Shows emails sent and received that are saved in a separate folder.
Preferences now only shows the '.mac' account - No trace of the three others.
What can I do now? Can anyone help please?

Ps - I have pretty much resigned to the fact that I have lost all my mail now but I am curious as to how Mail was running these mailboxes when there doesn't seem to have been any cache or anything for them. I don't understand how this was possible.
And, of course, if I could find this missing folder, maybe I could get all my mail back and that would be great!!!

Mail in my mac iCloud account doesn't show up on the internet iCloud account

I have an iCloud mail folder on my macs (both a mini and a macbook) with many subfolders. All of a sudden the only mail that is on my macs that shows up on my iCloud internet account is in top level folders on my macs. When I click on the main folder that has all of the subfolders, I get a quick whirl of the indicator and then nothing - no sub folders, no emails, nothing! As a test, I moved an email from a subfolder into one of the prime folders on my mac and it immediately appeared on the internet. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what may be wrong? In the past I was able to access this mail on my iCloud internet account without any problems.

James
Could you explain what you mean and how to correct it?
The mail box listing in Mail have various main headings starting with On My Mac, and concluding with ICLOUD. Under the ICLOUD heading there are a series of subfolders, some of which have further levels of subfolders. It is only the top level under ICLOUD that shows its contents.
I just did a permissions repair with Disk Utility and the problem went away!!
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I have IMAP mail. My sent messages do not reliably show up in Sent mail. Why?

I have IMAP email. My sent message do not reliably show up in Sent Messages. Is this a common problem and is there a fix?

Hi rgw1130,
I am sad to hear about the screen on your phone. If you do not have Back Up Assistant set up, then all your contacts will not sync. Have you checked with your Gmail account to see if your contacts are there? Keep us posted.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

Since upgrading firefox my tiscali (through Talk talk) email account will not allow me access to my emails saying 'You have undefined new mails in your inbox' and will not open the page. it works on Internet Explorer.

It thinks there is no information there! If I revert to 3.6 how long will security be maintained. At the moment I am opening Mozilla for web browsing but IE for my email account. I am not very PC literate so need simple answers.

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?

I have an iphone4S when i first got it everything was fine, my husband accidentally erased my mail and contacts from apple account and now ive lost 500 or so contacts how do i retrieve my contacts step by step please.

Hi guys,
I bought a Ipad, Iphone and an Imac all at once, learning it is a bit overwhelming. so in practicing my husband removed what he thought were defunct accounts that apple had automatically on the phone. When he did so all the contacts from my iphone disappeared. I do not know how to retrieve my accounts, nor to be able to restore my lost contacts, over 500.
If you guys can help with restoring the lost accounts, that be great, and also step by step restore my contacts to my iphone.

thank you guys i have worked out this little number. becausse i didnt want to lose any old data, i didnt ohoose to go through the steps to wipe Icloud. I prayed the old data was still there and backed up my data from icloud.
In 30 mins or so, checked it and it was all there!
Many thanks for answering my queries. you rock!

IPad abruptly quit, started playing Gaga's Scheibe song and will not now show up in "Devices" on iTunes. Keeps telling me it detects an iPad in Recovery mode. Cannot get past that. Help!

How do I recover the data on my iPad2? It abruptly quit while I was shutting down and started playing Gaga's Scheibe from "Born this Way" -- it was not coming from My Music or iTunes. I pressed both home key and side button to get it to stop and plugged it in to recharge. The USB connector to iTures screen showed up and that's as far as I can go. Had an appointment at the "genius bar" this morning and all they tell me is that they can "restore" which will not save any info I have. The last backup I did was April 2013 (I know, very stupid of me). iTunes does not recognize the device. It's all greyed out and I get a window that says iTunes detected an iPad in Recovery mode. That's as far as I can get. I really don't want to lose any data. Please help me. Thank you. Nancy

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

"Invisible" e-mail in my Inbox

Here's a weird one that I can't figure out. Several days ago, I was mass deleting about 25 e-mails from my inbox (POP account). After selecting the ones to delete, I hit the "delete" button, & my iPhone froze. After resetting, those messages were no longer in my inbox, but they weren't in my Trash folder, either.
Later, I noticed in my Inbox that there were 25 empty slots. Like a regular e-mail, but with no address, message info, etc. Only the little arrow at the right. When I press any of those arrows, the empty slot just turns blue and stays that way.
If I press the Delete button at the top to delete, I get the little circles besides each, but I can't select them. If I do the finger swipe to delete individually, I get the red "delete" button for that message. But, when I press that, Mail crashes & the screen goes back to my Main 1st apps page.
Also, if I have one new e-mail in my inbox & am reading that, the top of the screen will read "1 of 26" instead of "1 of 1."
I have tried deleting the account & adding it back to my phone, but those "invisible" messages are still there. These messages don't show up in my Mail inbox on my computer, or in my Webmail inbox when I log on to that. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of these?
Thanks...

There's nothing on the Roadrunner server. I have it set to remove mail from their server once it gets to my computer. So, my server inbox is empty. These messages are also not anywhere in the mail program on my computer. Only on my phone.

New mail referencing older unrelated mails

I am receiving new e-mail from a new sender with a new subject - however when I open the mail an older unrelated e-mail comes up. The body of the mail would be an unrelated mail from an unrelated sender - but still shows that it was sent that day from a new sender with a new subject.
My i-phone through mobile me will show the new mail as it should be.
In the beginning there would be duplicate mails so could still find the new mail in my inbox
...but now I have no way of accessing my new mail other than on my i-phone
Please help I need to be getting my new mail!

Hello break:
I do not access mail remotely, sooo.
Try rebuilding the mailbox(s). That may help.

I cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account".

I suddenly cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying " (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account". It does not matter if I am trying to delete a single message or mulitiple messages. Can anyone help?

If you're running Leopard, as your profile says, then you need to post your question in that forum, not the Snow Leopard forums. So if you're really running Snow Leopard, you need to update your profile to show that, as well as give more details about what kind of mail accounts you have, and who your email provider is.

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts. Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list. Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account. I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off.
Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically? Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you TomJones75. When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7. I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3. With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though! Thanks!

Can't get into talk talk email account in Mozilla, you have undefined new mails in your inbox message. No problem with Internet Explorer though

I've been using the Firefox browser for nearly a year now but for the past three days I can't open my tiscali email account via Firefox. The message "you have undefined new mails in your inbox" comes up. Talk Talk technical help says there is a problem with Firefox and advised me to use Internet Explorer. I can get into my account through Explorer but would much prefer to use Firefox so please help me out.

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
