Pop account to 1&1 IMAP e-mails are deleted each month, but have correct settings.

I have recently changed my pop account to a IMAP account as I was fed up deleting e-mail of each computer. Now I have found that with the IMAP account it deletes my e-mails every month so I can't go back to previous months. But the odd thing is that the mail setting is tick to never and on my 1&1 server its set to the same.
How can I stop this from deleting my e-mail every month? As with the Pop account it just kept all the e-mails I received.? Luckily I didn't change my laptop to a IMAP account, so if I can't stop it deleting my e-mails every month how can I import my e-mails from the laptop which as the pop account with my old e-mails?
Any help would be grateful.
Cheers!

I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
Any further comments welcomed.
Thanks much

Removing GMAIL POP Account and Replacing with IMAP Account

Because I want to sync my Gmail account on two Macs and discovered that IMAP is better at this than POP, I want to delete my Gmail POP account and add an IMAP account. Mail > Preferences indicates that all received mail will be deleted as well. Since I want to keep received emails, should I move them to a folder in On My Mac? I don't see where emails are stored on the hard drive, so until I know that I'll be able to retrieve them, I don't want to delete the POP account.
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
You may find that all these messages also exist on the Gmail server, and if so they will sync with the IMAP access. The account folder and the Inbox, etc, can be found at Home/Library/Mail in a folder beginning with POP.
You can leave the POP account, and only disable it in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced until you check or transfer the info.

Mail downloaded from POP account in Gmail appears in Sent mail

I have configured Gmail to download mail from two other POP accounts. I use Mail.app in OS X with IMAP to access my Gmail. I've noticed that when I receive a message from one of my POP accounts, it appears in my inbox but also as an unread message in my Sent mail folder. Why? Is there anything I can do to change this behavior?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The Gmail account is set-up as IMAP. But it does download POP email from other accounts. It's a nice feature and one of the main reasons I just use Gmail now for all email.
I know I could just ignore the issue, but it bothers me to have unread messages in the Sent mailbox. Clutters up the interface.

Pop accounts don't show up in mail window

I have one email account that is IMAP and two Pop accounts. The IMAP shows up in the email window but the POPs don't. All showed up before today and no changes have been made. How do i get the POP accounts to show up again?

10.7 or greater, reboot holding CMD+r keys & use Reset Password from there after Repairing Drive with Disk Utility.

Yahoo mail on nokia c6 don't have advance settings

Hi,
I am able to configure Gmail and Yahoo mailbox on nokia C6.
FYI - first I configured Gmail and then Yahoo mail.
Both worked fine for first couple of days (mainly I was able receive and send the emails)
After some days Yahoo mailbox stopped receiving mails.
When I tried to check the settings of both , I found that Yahoo mail box don't have the advanced account settings in which we configure the Incoming and out going servers. Gmail still have these settings.
My understanding -
As for some initial days I was able to receive Yahoo mails my account setting must be ok ,
There is no problem yet with Gmail.
Neither it is an issue of access point - gmail works on both access points, but Yahoo don't on any.
Only one observation is after creating the mailbox on C6 , I may have logged into same Yahoo account from my desktop, I suppose after this it stopped receiving any mails. Also I can't sent mails from Yahoo mailbox. In parallel for gmail I can still log into the email from desktop as well as from my mobile.
Please help if any of you have solve the problem.
Regards,
mak_c6

Do you have an AT&T email account? They use Yahoo for email service. Anything with att, sbc, sbcglobal, ameritech, etc is actually a Yahoo account.

Mails are deleted even though delete is set to "never"

I have a wierd problem. I will just explain my setup to you guys.
I have an iPhone 4, Outlook 2007 and a webmail client all running up against an IMAP server. But I am losing mails in two different ways.
1. When I delete a message on my iPhone, it is moved to the "trash"-folder. It is allowed to stay there for a week, after this the iPhone deletes the mail from the server. This happens even though I in my setup have defined, that mails are never to be deleted from the folder.
2. When I delete a message in Outlook og my webmail-client, the message is marked for deletion. Every 1st of the month (possibly every 2 weeks, I am still not sure of this) my Inbox is autopurged. Since Outlook is unable to do this by default and I have disabled autocleanup in my webmail, I have concluded, that it must be the iPhone performing this purging.
These problems started when I got my iPhone 2 months ago, so I am pretty sure that the mailclient on the iPhone is to blame for this mess. I have contacted my ISP and asked them to read the logfiles - they say, that nothing out of the ordinary is happening and points at the iPhone as the culprit. Have anyone in here experienced likewise and possibly have a solution to the problem?

OK, so as for number 1, I found this in the archive:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7318205#7318205
Does anyone else but my STILL AFTER 3 YEARS have this problem? Apple - are you listening?

Why do my outlook e-mails appear on each device and have to be deleted 3 times?

Every outlook email appears on each device and has to be read and delted from each one - then I have to delete three copies of every e-mail from the delted folder. Any ideas how to get them to syncronise properly?
AOL seems to sync fine but not Outlook which is set up as Exchange.

I cannot see which community this should be addressed to.
Tough one, but questions about Apple Mail are best handled in the forum for your Mac OS version. If you post what version of OSX you are running, I can ask the Hosts to move you, and you won't have to retype anything.

Multiple POP accounts: Can I set up separate mail windows

New mac user. I was able to switch identities using Outlook Express on my PC so that multiple users' mail were not downloaded when one user logged on. My desire is to not see other people's email, nor they mine. Is there a way to accomplish this?
lmac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Instead of switching identities in Mail, you do it at the OS X level i.e. create multiple accounts on your computer and use Fast User Switching. Each user of your computer then has their own separate environment for all applications including Mail.
I hope that helps.

Pop account apparently storing multiple passwords in Mail

On my G5 desktop, when I check my email, I successfully receive all messages, but the mailserv indicates a failed password.(I am in direct voice contact with my mailserv administrator during the test procedures) The same issue does not occur with the same account on my Powerbook. I deleted and reinstalled the account on the G5. I also have a second account with the same provider and it works fine. I deleted the keychain items associated but still have the problem. I noticed that when I did not put the password in the software, and simply responded to the popup askeing for the password, I still got messages, but the number of failed password flags on the mailserv increased each time I responded to the popup. It appears Mail enters some sort of loop to check the mail, sending the correct password and then an incorrect password, or vice versa, in one mail check event.

Thanks for the help. My ISP helped resolve the issue.
For some reason, perhaps a manual adjustment made in error during original setup, the Authentication was set to NTLM instead of MD5 Challenge-Response.
The effect was to seek authentication as NTLM first, creating a "Failed password" error on the ISP operating log. The mailserv then cycles to to NTLM as an alternate, thereby allowing authentication and download of messages to the user.
The time delay is negligible, hence the User has no indication of the first check being made with the wrong authentication. Only the ISP could see the error as it was logged.
Life continues.

Can I restore imap emails that are on my iphone but not on gmail?

Boy did I goof!
I was in gmail and I thought all of the e-mails in the All Mail folder were old/deleted emails. I checked the first hundred and they were all old. So I deleted them and that moved them to the Trash. Then I deleted the Trash. Apparently ALL of my e-mails were in the All Mail folder...makes sense, but that's not what it appeared when I looked in the All Mail folder to make sure that wasn't the case.
I use IMAP with my gmail account. They are gone when I log into gmail. They are gone in Thunderbird. But I have not updated my mail on my iPhone...any chance I can recover them from there? My guess is no, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

I don't believe there's any way to do that, no. As soon as the mail client connects with the server for any reason, it will sync with the server, deleting them from the phone as well.

What is best way for 3 person family to share 200 gb music on 1 itunes account on two networked windows 7 PCs, have access to each others music on each PC but have own libraries. Goal is simplicity

Currently, one windows 7 pc is upstairs in common area and is used most frequently. Father's (me) windows 7 pc is downstairs and has 200gb music collection on internal hardrive. PCs are networked together. Wife and kids would like to buy and listen to itunes music upstairs. They would be ok sharing a music library and it would not need to be huge. They generally, but not exclusively don't care for my music. I am eclectic and like their music as well as mine and would like access to it to be able to easily put it on my devices for family trips, etc and update playlists.
Ideally, I would like to be able to keep all of the music together on the same hard drive for managament purposes (organizing, replacing a computer, etc). I don't trust them not to screw up my library (too many hours invovled in it already), so I'm assuming that they should have their own libraries. These they would access upstairs and would also sync their devices on the upstairs computer. I think both their libraries could be pointed to the harddrive on the downstairs computer where the music files currently reside. When they played music from the upstairs computer, it would play from the downstairs computer across the network. If they purchase music on the upstairs computer, I would like it to get downloaded on the downstairs computer with the other music files and not be downloaded onto the upstairs computer. I would like to be able to rely on my library and the music files not getting messed up. If friends and babysitters come over, they use the upstairs computer. We've had a disaster before when it was just one computer, but the music was on an external hard drive and my wife launched itunes without turning on the external hard drive first and fried my library.
The best I can come up with is their having their own libraries, on the upstairs computer, that reference all music files on the downstairs computer over the network. Am I on the right track here? How do I make sure their purchases go into and only into the music file downstairs? Is there some other better option of having a separate itunes on the upstairs computer and storing their music separately upstairs? How would I make sure to get copies of their music files from the upstairs computer also into my large music file downstairs, so I can keep one comprehensive collection of music all in one file. This seems like it shouldn't be so very difficult in the 21st century. I ought to be able to keep one comprehensive music file and one comprehensive library, even though my wife and child, who are less computer literate than me would like smaller, more personalized libraries and to purchase music on the convenient upstairs computer and even store their music on the upstairs computer accross a network. I the old days, you could just dupe some of the CDs. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife is tired of waiting on me to resolve.

SHARING iTunes MUSIC

How do i delete songs from my ipod? i got it used a while back and it had a bunch of music on it that i dont want. i went to my itunes account and clicked on music to try to delete the music, but my no music came up. music is on my ipod though

i logged onto itunes and went to MUSIC under library and no music came up. I know that i have music on my ipod though because it shows up on my ipod. I am trying to delete that music. How do i do this??

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have set it to delete every month but it has been keeping the trash mails for only about 10 days. Please help.

I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have had it set to delete the messages once a month. But lately it has been deleting my messages every 10 days. I have tried choosing different options to set the trash mailbox behavior but has not been successful. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

Converting on mail.app POP account to IMAP? How can I do this?

Hello,
hope someone can help me. I just recently bought a domain name with all its software on GoDaddy. Unfortunaltely I found out, that the POP account offered, does not syncronize my mail between my iMac and iPhone, as Gmail or Yahoo do, these are IMAP accounts... Even though I tried through the mail.app assistent to sent up a new IMAP account, GoDaddy does not allow this. So I called them up, to know why, I would have to purchase an upgrade, to switch from POP to IMAP. My question: is there a way around this purchase? I have read, that many people leave their mail on the server, but would prefer my pop account to work as an IMAP , that is syncronize mail on my iMac and phone. I can not create a new IMAP account, while doing so GoDaddy server will tell me , that I can not connect to their server... What happens if I use the Yahoo server instead? Someone has a clue? Thank you in advanced for your responses. Hug, René

You're trying to do this in the wrong place. This is a bit complicated but I'll try to walk you through it.
First make sure you have a Google Apps account. This sill carry a charge, but I suspect it will be worth it. It is for me. Check here for details and to register: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/pricing.html.
You will have to choose one of the ways to verify your domain ownership. More details here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60216
Next, you need to go to Godaddy.com. Log in to your account, then click "My Account" at the top of the page (or the equivalent in Spanish).
Click "Domains", then the green "Launch" button to the right of the domain you want to use.
Click the "DNS Zone File" tab
Scroll down to the "MX (Mail Exchanger" section and Google's settings found here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174125
Once it's all set up, you can set up your imap accounts using Google's settings here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105694
