Number of unopened emails missing from mail

I migrated to maverick and for some reason in apple mail, my email accounts in the "inbox" won't show me how many unopened messages I have. How can I fix that?

I tried this and now the emails that I did have (that were empty) have disappeared completely and replaced with email from 2011. Any ideas what I should do now?

Emails missing from Mail - can't access backups from Time Machine

To my dismay both of my gmail accounts through the mail client will only show me emails from the last 30 days. I went to check gmail through Safari and the same story, I'm locked out of emails from before the last 30 days. This is not only on my Mac, but also on my iPad and iPhone.
I attempted to go into Time Machine and do a restore, but the same thing is happening and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be. For some reason even when Time Machine pulls up my email backups I can see stuff from every year but 2013 and the beginning of 2014. It starts populating the backup to show me my emails, but nothing appears and I know those emails have to exist somewhere.
Does anyone know if this is some kind of code error that caused this, or if there is anyway to get around it? Having an entire year's worth of emails missing is really problematic for me as you can expect. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Some emails missing from Mail InBox

All emails received in Mail, version 3.6 (936) between 6:57pm 8 August and 6:15pm 10 August (around 30 messages) have disappeared from my Inbox at some time in the afternoon of 10 August. (I don't suspect the timings are significant, I'm just being specific.) I did not delete them, accidentally or otherwise. They have not moved to any other folder. Account type is POP.
I have followed all recovery procedures listed at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907, but nothing has worked. The messages were still on my ISPs server so I have been able to retrieve them on my MacBook.
Questions:
• Is there any known reason for this problem?
• Any way to prevent it recurring?
• Is there some way I can retrieve the lost messages from my ISP into Mail on my iMac?
• Is there any way to import only the missing messages into Mail on my iMac from Mail on my MacBook?
• How can I inform Apple of this problem by email?

Ok....now when I reply to something from my Mail....my phone is sending another reply to the recipient...except blank. Grrrr.

Emails missing from inbox on iphone

I have a good number of emails missing from the inbox on my iphone. My only email is gmail. The emails are random, not from any particular person or place. The messages are in the inbox on my imac and also when I access gmail account on my pc. They are simply missing on the iphone. If I access my gmail account on the pc and star one of the messages, then it does appear on my iphone in the starred folder. Remove the star and it's gone (still doesn't show up in inbox). I just noticed this yesterday because I was looking for something, so don't really know how long it has been like this. I have looked at iphone settings for mail but don't see anything to give me a clue why this is happening.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

There are two things you can try.
1. Move the file com.apple.mail.plist from your ~user/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and relaunch Mail. If that's cured the problem, delete the Preferences file you moved to the desktop, otherwise move it back again overwriting the new one Mail just created.
2. Try reinstalling Mail from your Install DVD - this only reinstalls the app itself not the mailboxes, but take a backup of them first, just to be on the safe side.

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

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

Export email addresses from Mail?

Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

Receiving undelivered email reports from mailer daemon

Hi,
I use Mac Mail 5.1, which is linked to my hotmail email account and for the past 24 hours I've been receiving "undelivered email reports from Mailer Daemon" but it appears that, even when I send the same message from my yahoo accout, the problem still persists. Any assisstance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Those reports come from the server at the message destination. For whatever reason, the mail couldn't be delivered. It's not a problem with your Mac.

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! ;-)

Custom email boxes missing from mail

I had a notes section under mailboxes in mail. Within this notes section I had several named mailboxes that I used to store various emails. They are now missing from my mac when I converted to Maverick. I still have them on my iPhone. Any suggestions on how to retrieve them? Thanks for your help.

It was really a Notes folder, not really a section. I opened notes and did not find it. Here is what it looks like on my iPhone. I am missing all of the folders below "Notes".
Thanks so much for your help.

Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached. However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format. I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
Thanks

Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

How can cocoa app get attachment in Drag & Drop email(s) from Mail?

HI all,
I would like to drag and drop one or more emails from Apple's Mail application to a cocoa application and have the cocoa application find the path to the attachments in those emails. If I drag & drop a message from Mail to Text Edit, it creates a link with the message subject. If I hold the pointer over the link in Text Edit, it shows the contents of the link, which has the form:
message:%[email protected]%3E
If I click that link, it opens a new Mail window with the message. None of that is the message number as shown in Mail's viewer window.
I've also looked at what Pasteboard Peeker shows given a Drag & Drop from Mail. The above link data is from the public.url pasteboard type. Some of the others look interesting, but Pasteboard Peeker truncates the data read from the pasteboard, and the pasteboard types are probably nothing that we "supposed" to have access to since they have names like "Someone's super-secret pasteboard type". Any other ideas?

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

TS3899 Search missing from mail

Search is missing from my mail and I can't seem to access my other email accounts

Hi,
”After restarting the computer, I ran windows update (windows defender updated), and since then have
restarted a few more times, but the search bar is simply missing from the start menu. It's just gone.“
May I know the preview build version you're using now? I wonder whether you're performing a normal Windows Updates or a system upgrade at that time. If it is normal Windows Updates then check if it has created a restore point before installing the updates,
if it has, then you could restore the system to a previous state with system restore and check if it could help you.

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.
