Old emails have been deleted

I have been experiencing the same problems as thread 1793406 about emails sitting permanently in the outbox: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1793406 So I contacted my isp to re-setup my email account. I don't remember much about the process but I think it started by deleting the existing account and then setting up a new one.
As far as I can see all the old emails for this account were also deleted at the same time which was a bit of a shock, and a surprise that the isp assistant didn't warn me beforehand.
Fortunately I have a fairly recent backup of my emails, so I suppose one can simply drag them back into the newly configured account!? (any guiding advice on this would be welcome)
I suppose my question is is it necessary to completely delete an account in order to reconfigure it?
Thank you...

in what form do you have your backups? please be specific.

that question is far too general to give a meaningful answer. it depends on the problem. usually it should not be necessary to delete an account but if nothing else works you might have to.

Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB. Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB. Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

It might be caused by storage "buffering". If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

My emails have been deleted since july 27

all my me.com emails dating post july 27 have been deleted.

Sounds like folder corruption.
Right click the folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
'''Be prepared to lose some messages if the corruption is too bad.'''
Read this article about maintaining your email system to help prevent this in the future.

My iCloud account was hacked. My contacts and emails have been deleted even from iCloud storage

Hi, today someone hacked into my @icloud.com account and all my contacts and emails stored there have been deleted. I have changed my password but is there any way to recover my info? Thanks!

If the details have been deleted from iCloud, they are, I'm afraid, gone. But if you have backed them up by Time Machine they should be recoverable.

My Thunderbird pulls in emails from my gmail account even when those emails have been deleted in my gmail account. I do not have them synced. How do I fix?

I go into my gmail account first and delete messages I don't care about. Then I will later use Thunderbird to pull in messages I want and be able to store them locally. I do not have TB and gmail synced. However, when I "get messages" in TB, it pulls in a whole bunch of emails that I had previously deleted from gmail. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you.

Can you empty the trash in Gmail? Maybe you need to do that first?

Saved emails have been deleted

I have a file for saved emails which I made when I subscribed to Verizon internet in 6/11. Just tried to retrieve several and they are gone. Can I get them back and how?

If the emails are not appearing on the website, there is no retrieval for them. To backup your emails to a file, that would require downloading them off the Verizon website to an email client and exporting them to the appropriate .PST file. That file can then be moved, saved, or copied to any removable medium of your choice.

All my emails from Gmail have been deleted during the sync process with Mail

Hi,
During the sync between Gmail and Mail in my MacBook Pro all the messages disapered in Gmail and in my Mac. I see them for a minute in my Mac and then all disapered. Then, I went to Gmail and all my emails have been deleted too, but they aren't in the Trash Folder. The configuration was ok, and all the options to keep a copy on the server were activated.
Now I can't find the emails (more than 15.000) in Gmail or in the Mac.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

Most likely your anti-virus software did corrupt your mail files. In general the anti-virus software should not scan your Thunderbird profile folder.
Without knowing what exactly the local computer company did it is virtually impossible to tell what happened.
You can check whether the anti-virus software did quarantine your mail file(s).
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Anti-virus_Software#Recovering_a_quarantined_Inbox
The Windows Restore function does not cover the Thunderbird profile, so there is no point trying that.
Your best bet would be to restore a recent backup of your profile folder. Hope you did create one.

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

Can you retreive emails that have been deleted

Can you retreive emails that have been deleted??

Some phones use a "Trash Folder" system so you can retreive deleted emails within a certain window of time. I am not sure on the Bionic.
Also you could possibly retreive your mail directly from your email providers server. Example I use charter email, so I would contact charter communications, gmail is Google so you would contact Google, etc.
Good luck.

What you are describing sounds like you created a new apple id with your new comcast email address. There may be apps on your ipad that are associated with another id that was using your verizon email address. If thats what you're saying then those apps need to be updating by using the apple id that was used when they were downloaded.
If you're talking about something else then maybe a lttle clarification is necessary.
Go to settings/itunes and app stores. make sure the correct apple is shown.
Go to settings/mail, contacts and calendars. Makes sure all of the accounts are current.
Go to settings/icloud, facetime and messages, verify the same.

After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account. Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones. If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

How do i get rid of old files previously networked to Distributed Sytem Manager so as to create a new network file, all files have been deleted off my laptop already?

6 old network files keep showing up in Labview even though they have been deleted from both labview and removed from my laptop. Why does labview insist on keeping them in this history as now it will not allow me to network a new file
All help appreciated.

Got this issue resolved, basicaly what was happening was in the distributed system manager old copys of libraries which I had created previously and deleted kept showing up in my networked items and i could not delete them, what i had to do was to stop process and remove process on any that were showing up then reboot my laptop and this deleted them off the system altogether, this was time consuming for me as I had a load of old libraries to delete before i could network my new library. Eventually got it working after my laptop reboots.

How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...
