Pre - Where are my e-mails going?

I have pretty basic work e-mail service using POP3 servers.  I have my Pre configured to leave e-mails on the server so they can all be downloaded to my office desktop.
I just noticed that when I have read an e-mail on my Pre but choose to save it by just leaving it in my inbox, the e-mail automatically disappears (as in not even in the trash folder) once the e-mail is downloaded on my desktop (and thus removed from the POP3 mail server) and I then next get e-mail on my Pre.  It seems that if the message is no longer on the server, the Pre just deletes it from the phone.
Curiously, this does not happen with e-mails in the trash folder, which must annoyingly be deleted one at a time.
Is there some way to solve at least this situation?  I like to keep some old e-mails in my inbox on my Pre as reminders of tasks I need to complete.  If they're going to self-delete, however, this obviously won't work.
I really can't believe the enormous step backward I have taken by "upgrading" from a Treo to a Pre!  Very disappointing, to say the least.

This is odd, thank you for providing the link to your email setup. But this should not be happening on the device. I have a pop email setup as you do but it does not do this. At this point this is an error on your device. We need to delete the account and recreated it. When you remove the account do a restart on your device. Then add it back on to your device and see if this issue keeps happening.
If it does you may need to Partial/Full erase the device.

  • Where are the e-mails?

    I reinstalled mail today, put the old mail folder back in the library from the user library folder.
    Now mail says it has 2 or more messages, except I don't see them...
    I am getting pretty desperate here... Where did my mail go?
    You would think that if you keep your library mail folder and insert it in the same space again after reinstalling, that everything will be there.
    Rules, spam, signatures, it is all gone...
    I am pretty sure that I put the correct folder back, it also does not help to rebuild the mailboxes...
    Any insight????

    Catherine,
    You have evidence of leftover files from when operating in Panther and Mail 1.3 -- specifically, all but Info.plist and the Messages folder are no longer needed, and if you check the dates the others were last modified, you find that it will prior to the upgrade to Tiger. These can be very problematic in ways not easy to describe. There are number of topics about the issue of leftover files. I want you to read the article at the link below, and perhaps get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
    This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
    Also, please examine the size of each file or folder. It is very important to compare the size of the file named "mbox" with that of the Messages folder. If the mbox is greater in size than the Messages folder, then not all messages have been converted to be in the Messages folder. If Messages is larger, then probably all were converted -- if none are know to be missing from before the upgrade to Tiger, then simply remove all leftover files.
    The path to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder.
    In a pre-conversion to Tiger mailbox, the only file that really mattered, in regard to message content, was the file "mbox". In a mailbox properly created and established in Tiger, the only thing that really matters is the folder named Messages.
    Once all leftover files have been removed (done while Mail is NOT running, btw), then at the first level of the Mail folder, find the file named Envelope Index -- delete it, and relaunch Mail. Mail will say it is ready to import all your mailboxes-- allow this to continue, and it will only be re-indexing all the mailboxes, and all the messages should once again be accessible.
    If you think missing, pre-Tiger are missing, then they might be in the mbox files, and the lengthy topic at the link below, may also be of assistance:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
    Let me know any questions, or discomfort you have.

  • Where are my old mail folders

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and though the mail program says that my old folders are in Library:Mail, when I go to the Library, there isn't any Mail folder at all. Help!

    Which Library folder are you looking in? There are three of them, and what you're looking for is in Home/Library.
    If Mail works, then the folder is definitely where it should be.

  • Where are the e-mail settings?

    Hi, I have an E72, I have set up a POP3 e-mail server and I can receive e-mails with no problem, but I cannot send any! Now, I know how to solve the problem, I simply have to change the outgoing port number to the new one given by my e-mail provider, but I CANNOT FIND WHERE ARE THE OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS!
    The E-mail -> Settings -> Mailbox name -> Mailbox settings tab only has one server setting in it, and it says "Server name". There are no separate settings for Incoming and Outgoing servers! Where can I change them? In the Advanced mailbox settings there is only one setting - for the port number, but again not a thing about which are my ingoing and outgoing servers.
    Pls help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks albyzas, thanks thetao.
    I have the last version (3.21 I think) and I know where the in/out settings should be located, but here is no such thing under the "Advanced Mailbox Settings"! The only settings I have are the port number and the secure connection on/off. I have this problem since I bought the E72. Previously, I had E71 and it had the in/out settings there!
    BTW the provider I use is listed automatically for my country, just below Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo (I don't have to click "Other")
    So I have some questions:
    2) Delete and remake the mailbox.  Don't use Nokia Messaging (their push service) by Declining the terms of service.  Maybe that provides more control?
    If I decline them, what client will I be using then?
    3) Can you remove the email client?  I hesitate suggesting that because some people have reported being unable to reinstall...but you can try if you feel daring.
    If I remove it, how can I reinstall it later?
    4) Do you recall when the problem started?  If it happened after a firmware update, a hard reset ( *#7370# , default password 12345) will sometimes fix weird issues that occur after installing new firmware.  Be sure to make a backup first.
    The Problem started when my e-mail provider decided to change the numbers of their ports several months ago...

  • Where are Thunderbird e-mail files stored on my computer?

    I have read the suggested articles and followed the instructions as best I can, but I still cannot figure out how to get to profile (the path revealed in "Troubleshooting Information," by clicking "show folder," was not what I found on my computer---one element in the supposed path, "AppData," simply was not there in the tree) unless I somehow missed a hidden clue. Furthermore, even if I manage to get to profile, I still don't comprehend how to move my e-mail files from there to a location on my computer that is easy to get to and to back up along with all my other data files.
    Perhaps my level of knowledge is too modest here because the assumption is that I know more than I actually do know. If that is the case, I apologize, but that does not resolve the issue. I wonder why the folders containing e-mails are not placed in an obvious and handy location to begin with, but that of course is a different matter.
    But right now, all I want to do is to (1) get to profile, (2) understand how to back up the actual profile (or profiles, if I ever have more than one, which I don't quite understand, either), and (3) comprehend how to separate out and move the e-mail files/folders located there to an easily accessible and obvious (to me) location. I would greatly appreciate some basic-level instruction on this.
    (I might mention that because it did not meet my needs generally, and also because it was most inconveniently down periodically, otherwise difficult to use far too frequently, and administered with shockingly scant attention to customer satisfaction despite its full-bore commercial nature, I abandoned AT&T/Yahoo web mail for a computer-resident POP client. I chose Thunderbird on the recommendation of a knowledgeable friend. I had used Outlook with relatively good success quite some time ago but have a fundamental aversion to patronizing Microsoft when I do not absolutely have to do so. That is why I am trying with much energy to get Thunderbird to work for me with some reasonable degree of convenience and functionality.)
    Thank you.

    ''re: A folder-copy isn't easy to read,''
    Only if you need to read a specific email as emails are not stored in separate .eml files. They are stored in mbox files which look like a long text document containing emails written one after the other in the order downloaded. But for backing up and reinstalling a Profle which contains all your data, it is stored exactly as required for reinstalling. It also stores all your preferences and account details and so on - eg: address books.
    ''re: if its not compressed it also includes all deleted files.''
    What gnospen actually means is 'compacted' not compressed. They are two entirely different things which should not be confused. You can easily empty the Deleted and Junk folders and then compact all your folders before backing up. This resolves this if it is of a concern to you.
    As gnospen says, ImportExportTools is an excellent tool for backing up emails - not your Profile, not your account settings and preferences and not your address books.
    You can choose to use to store emails as separate .eml files or HTML or plain text format or as a single text file or pdf format or export the entire folder in mbox format with or with subfolders.
    If you want to use ImportExportTools, Thunderbird needs to running, I would advise you go into Offline mode whilst backing up as you do not want your folders synchronising whilst performing this task.
    Here is a link to ImportExporttools addon:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
    I suppose what you need to determine is what do you want to backup.
    I would advise, if you want all your prefernces, account settings, address books and emails saved in one go, then copy the Profile to create a backup or use MozBackup tool.
    If you only want to backup emails then use ImportExportTools addon tool.
    If not backing up your entire profile, but you do want to keep a backup of address books then you can go to Address Book and select the address book, then Tools > Export as either LDIF or comma separated .csv file.
    Note: comma separated .csv files can be opened by other programs such as Excel and can also be easily imported into any email client or back into Thunderbird.

  • Where are the response files going?

    Hello.
    I know someone who created a form in Acrobat software and has chosen to distribute the software in acrobat.com. What she did was the sent out emails where people has open access to the file and but once the form has been completed, she sometimes received the response in her response PDF file in her desktop but most of the time she doesn't. People who submitted the form has been informed that their "response has been submitted" but she doesn't receive a response. Is there anyway to retreive all the response files that are shared through acrobat.com individually? Where in acrobat.com are the responses stored and how can she retreive them?
    Many thanks and more power to acrobat.com development team.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post. Any chance you could have your friend send us some additional information? We'd need to know her acrobat.com account name as well as what document is causing the trouble...
    Kind Regards,
    Michelle

  • Where are my iCloud Mails ?

    I have updated to iOS5 yesterday, I have also setup iCloud on my iPhone where I had to create a @me.com email adress.
    Since I had setup my iPhone as a new device I had to reenter all my passwords and stuff - so I have setu my "normal" mail account aswell.
    Now, when I open the Mail App, I just have my "normal" mail account there - no sight of the @me.com mails. In the settings the "push" service is enabled, but when I send a test mail there is no notification.
    when I login to icloud.com on another pc, I can read all mails without a problem.

  • Where are the sent mails - sync with IMAP

    I am wondering, where my BB Z10 transfer my sent emails. I not see them in a folder like sent, wich I sync from my IMAP server.
    Doe's somebody have any suggestion or tip, how I can change this?
    Kindly Simon

    it works on my GMail.
    what is the language of your IMAP server ?
    what is the exact name of your "sent items folder" when using the webmail ?
    what is the name of the same folder on your Z10 ?
    chances are, the two folders have a different name.
    please make sure that you have configured your Z10 to synchronize emails from all servers.

  • Where are my GB's going?

    I started using the Photos app last weekend. Before I started importing pics in the app, I had 700 gigabytes of space on my iMac. After importing about 25 GB of pics I have lost 300 GB of space. What's going on?  I notice the same problem after I uploaded these same pic on the iCloud. On the cloud I have 8,000 pics and it's using over 40GB of space. What's eating up all of space?

    202 vs. 165 seems like a large difference.  Could someone explain what causes this?
    Thanks.
    Several ideas off the top of my head:
    1. File fragments.  Try a comprehensive defrag using a third-party tool such as jkDefrag or PerfectDisk 10.
    2. Backups/restore images--Windows is often set up to make periodic backups and restore points; for example, a restore point is created by Windows Updater before it makes any changes to your system.  You can clean out these restore points using the Disk Cleanup utility (which you always should before you defrag).  Running CCleaner (available online for free) will also free up a lot of temprorary and unnecessary files and can clean up unused registry entries.
    3. Paging/hibernation/system files--Again, if these are very fragmented, you may be losing quite a bit of hard disk space.  Disable both when defragging to free up unmovable files.  If you have a program that will run a boot-time defrag, run that as well to defragment the system files.  Keep in mind that disabling paging and hibernation are advanced tasks and not for a beginner or average user and will probably require an administrative account.
    **DISCLAIMER**: I am not a tech.  I have very little formal education with computers.  If you cause damage to your computer (hardware or software) as a result of my advice, I take no responsibility whatsoever.  

  • Where are my "old" mails?

    I had to re-configure our OpenDirectory Server; so all users in the LDAP Database have been deleted. (of course)
    (I deleted the OpenDirectory Master and set up the OD Master again)
    OK - I re-created all users and configured them like in the settings before - no problem!
    But all emails of each user got deleted as well. (IMAP)
    My question:
    Does the mails still exist on the server (somewhere e.g. in /var/spool/...), or are they really deleted permanently?
    Thanks in advance - Chris

    I've found a solution:
    NOTE: Before you perform the following steps, you must be logged in as the root user!
    All mails of the Mail-Server are stored in the directory /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail
    The only problem is, that the name of the folders inside this directory contains only numbers and letters.
    (e.g. 7C493120-D5S3-2A48-391-8G6B7E91F601)
    So the only challenge is, that you find the correct folder, which contains the mails of the desired user.
    As a little trick, you can open each folder and take a look into the cur directory.
    This directory contains one file for each mail. Again, these filenames contains only numbers and letters.
    When you open such a file, you can see the header and contents of each mail.
    So it's easier to identify which folder belongs to which user!
    That's it!

  • Ios7 - where are my individual mail accounts?

    Upgraded to ios7 on my iphone 4.
    Open up mail and I have All Inboxes, VIP, then a heading Accounts under which is nothing. I go into mail settings and all my accounts are there and configured. The All Inboxes thing has mail from all of them, but I hate that. I want my individual accounts back.
    How do I configure it so they show up individually like they used to under Accounts?
    Chris

    I had the same problem on my iPad2, an even quicker solution that worked for me: go to the home screen, double clickt the home buutton to bring up the multitasking navigation and force the mail app to close. When you open again, everything should be as it should be.

  • Where are my iCloud photos going, and where can I see them?

    I recently upgraded my PC to one that can use iCloud, and I want to sync all of my photos. I wirry that I am losing photos, and I don't know how to view them in the cloud.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • Where are all the MBPs going to that you send back ???

    Hey all,
    As the title says i was just wondering what Apple does with all the MBPs that were sent back....
    How can i be sure, that a MBP that i order now is really new and not just an "old" one that is fixed.
    I am afraid that i'll get a new looking notebook that is possibly 14+ days old and that was taken back....
    Hope someone can help me....
    P4t

    I would imagine they would be as well. There have been class action suites in the past against companies who have sold used and returned products as new, so I doubt about would attempt to do this.
    I would say this is where they end up..

  • Where are comcast e-mails?

    We had verizon installed yesterday. Today I went to mail to change the POP account from comcast to verizon. I had a lot of trouble getting the verizon account to be able to send e-mails. I was successful but by accident I deleted the comcast pop account that I had on mail. When I put it back as a POP account, the saved e-mails were not there. The info has to be on my computer somewhere. Can you please lead me in the right direction? I didn't have much saved on my comcast account but I did have a file containing e-mails I sent to a group that I lead. Thanks.

I searched my computer for the files but I do notice that mail is not saved in the library with the information that you see in your folder.
