Old messages gone in Mail.app, but still present via .Mac Webmail.

Hi. I have a .Mac account set up as IMAP in the Mail application and cannout figure out where all my old messages went. I have tried everything- there are no rules that delete them, there are no other computers or anything else involving POP in the setup... This has all worked flawlessly for years and all of the sudden the Mail application won't show the messages in my inbox if it is older than about a week. However, directly above the few recent messages left are about 15 very old Apple-sent emails (newsletters, etc).
I have tried rebuilding it in the application but it still wont show the other older messages (yet they are fully visible in the webmail viewer on the website).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sam

Oh no!!!! I just checked the webmail and those are gone, too! What can I do? This must have something to do with the system maintenance that they're doing, right?

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

I guess that was a bit cryptic. I'm trying to update iPhoto from system 10.5.6, a PowerPC system, to 10.8. The app I downloaded is iPhotoLibraryUpgrader.dmg. I open that and I see Iphoto Library Upgrader.pkg. Igo through the install, which says it completes successfully. However, when I double-click on the iPhoto icon on the dock, I get the oroginal message that the upgrade must be installed. I hope this gives enough information to diagnose the problem. I apologize for the first message's laack of detail.

There used to be a preview window in mail where you could read the message in the mail box but now its gone. It just shows me who its from and the date. I now have to click on the message twice to get it to display. How do I get the preview box back?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Display of RE: and FW: messages generated in mail.app

II am the sole Mac user in a 100+ person company. (I run the company so IT tolerates me.) After receiving many complaints about unpredictable display of FW: and RE: messages sent from mail.app (leopard and snow leopard), I gave up and converted to Outlook '11. Hated it. Airplane pilots have fewer buttons, ribbons, etc., on their control panels. So, I'm back to Mail.app and newly determined to solve, or at least understand, the issue.
Posting what I've discovered here in the hope someone can shed light on it or, better yet, fix it.
What I discovered is that a message with embedded graphics in it (e.g., a company logo .gif embedded in a signature) generated in mail.app will display very differently in different email clients and settings.
In iphone (iOS 4) the message renders perfectly. No issue.
In Mail.app received via exchange, the message also appears to render perfectly. No issue.
However, it's a different story in Outlook '08 for Windows and '11 for Mac) BUT ALSO in Mail on the iPad. AND also if the message is viewed from the sent items folder in the very application (Mail.app) in which it was created. Here's what happens.
Text before the embedded image is rendered correctly. But after that, everything is displayed as an attachment. The embedded image is displayed an attachment. So too is any text that follows it. (ATT0001.htm). If there are multiple embedded images with text in between them, you'll get a string of attachments (image001.gif, ATT0001.htm, image002.gif, ATT0002.htm, etc.)
(Note that I have already done everything I know to make things clean and windows friendly. Mail.app is set to windows friendly attachments. Iconizer is installed. Mail.app is also set to send re: and fw: messages at the same level to avoid formatting issues different levels might create. )
I'm not a coder, but I did take a look at the source code. What I noticed is that mail.app treats a message with embedded graphics very differently than one without. A message with just text (even when sent as HTML format) is just text. A message with embedded graphics has the first bit (before the first graphic) as text, then the first graphic, then, the next bit of text is an HTML file, and so on. Apparently, mail on the iphone can recognize this and render properly. Not so others. The question is why Mail turns text bits into HTML files this way?
Now, the good news is, having isolated the problem, I've solved most of it by simply eliminating embedded graphics (including a logo in my signature) from my emails. Still, I often forward or re: to long strings that do include these graphics. Not so good.
Thoughts?

IMO, if you want to send magazines, then e-mail isn't the vehicle. Better to create PDF files and send them as attachments. This problem you're running into has to do with poorly followed standards in all those e-mail clients and attempting to send magazines as messages. Stick to plain text and there aren't any issues.

I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 is working

I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 of them are working. the default account isn't working and emails are coming from the other account.

Even after the Mavericks Mac Mail update and showing my "All Mail" folder, Mail.app is still acting weird and slow. Any further suggestions?

Even with the recent Mac Mail Mavericks update and showing my "All Mail" Gmail folder, Mail.app is still acting funky and slow. Any further suggestions for getting Mail.app back to it's pre-Mavericks state?

Your description of the problem is rather vague, but I'll take a guess at what you mean.
Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/C*.db vacuum; sqlite3 L*/M*/*/*/E*ex vacuum
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
You should see a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) appear below what you entered. If not, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.
Note: This procedure will have no effect unless you quit Mail when you begin.

How do I use transparent=true in my Air app but still displaying swf ?

How do I use transparent=true in my Air app but still displaying swf's files ?
The thing is that I created a customized chrome, and looks nice when it is transparent cause seems to be floating, it works as a browser, but the problem is that when I navigate with it into a page wich contains embedded youtube videos, as in example, or any other swf file... it just doesn't show...
Any help ? thanks in advance,

- The iPod uses the location of a nerby or connected router to determine it location based on a database of routers and their location. It appears that the routers near y are not in Appl'es database. As of yet, nobody here seems to know how to get routers added to the database.
- If you go to Strtbucks. McDonalds or another networks does the location show in the Maps app?
