Recovering disappearing email

I have my junk settings so that suspected junk mail is marked junk but stays in my inbox. I noticed that sometimes certain email that I send is later marked a possible junk in my sent folder. Anyway, I noticed that if I move those possible junk emails into a folder and then click on the icon in the upper right corner of the email to change it to "not junk", the email just disappears. Whereas, if I change the email to "not junk" while it is in the inbox, it remains there. So I learned to change just email to "not junk" before moving to any folder. My question is whether I can get back those disappeared emails. Thanks.

Disappearing emails in Mail

I have been having a very weird problem with mail since the last few weeks. I pop my email from gmail and I have usual folders and some basic rules.
The new mails (as well as some read ones) keep disappearing from the Inbox. But they showup again when I open it later. I have not been able to figure out when it decides to show some mails and when it does not. So I would download some 50 mails, it will show only 10 new ones. But after many hours or even days it suddenly show the remaining 40 mails and again they keep disappearing.
In this state, even my sent mails act funny. They just do not seem to go out, even though it says sent and suddenly one day I see week long send mails stacked up in the outbox.
I never had this problem before, but mail just started doing the last few weeks.
Any idea whats wrong and what could be the solution to this ?

Try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When finished, check to see if your disappearing emails are back to stay.

Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

Is there a way to recover deleted email on my computer?

We inadvertantly deleted an important email on our computer and it is no longer in the trash folder since the messages in the trash folder that are older than a certain date are automatically deleted. Is there anyway to recover this deleted message? It is no longer available on our ISP's server and they said that they cannot access it so I am trying to find out if it is possible to recover the email from my computer. Thanks.

Geoff,
Welcome to the Discussions.
I know of no sure way to make such a recovery, and the only possible way that comes to mind would to use some sort of data recovery software. However, if the Mac was used for any period of time, after the elapsed period of time to keep deleted messages, even that is most unlikely.
One other possibility, would be to examine both the mbox file of the INBOX.mbox and Deleted Messages.mbox folders, with another application, such as TextEdit or BBEdit to see if any reference remains. The path to these mbox files is as follows: Control-click over the xxxxx.mbox file, and choose Show Package Contents -- then open the mbox file with TextEdit or BBEdit. If deleted from the Inbox, check the package of both the INBOX.mbox and Deleted Messages.mbox folder from the account folder for this account (assuming here, that the account is POP). If deleted from a mailbox you created, then the folders to check the package of would be in the Mailboxes folder. All referenced xxxxx.mbox would be found within the Mail folder, at Home/Library/Mail.

How to recover emails from Mail after account is deleted accidentally. All my emails are now gone and i am standing no where. Can any body help me out by recovering my emails.

After having problem in getting emails from pop server, i thought of removing account and adding it again. Problem was solved but all my previous emails are gone.
Really needed all my emails back. Tried but could went through. Also purchased once software "EaseUS", no further progress was achieved. It only recovered deleted emails which was of no significance for me.
Can any one help me out. I have no "Time Machine" active on my mac book pro.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

i deleted an email account an need to recover de emails in this deleted account. is it possible?

Hi Brooks, The right way to do it is to import the photos from within iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't like it when you drop stuff in from within Finder. Ditto iTunes.
Open iPhoto>File>Import to library...
Navigate to the albums in the deleted user folder, click 'Import'.
Hope this helps.

This is a copy of a post i made on CrackBerry about Disappearing Email and it seems to just be Gmail as best as i can tell. There are a lot of people on CrackBerry having the same trouble. I have the new software 7.0 1739 / V7.0.0374.
I have been to the email set up page and check the setting and unchecked the delete syn box and on the phone i have unchecked the email syn box. My email is set up to delete in 15 days and it is Not a low memory problem i have plenty of memory.

Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account).
Within the account named folder should be the following folders; INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (if Junk Mail is set to automatic).
Confirm there is an INBOX.mbox named folder and if so, post back listing the file and folder names available within the INBOX.mbox folder.
In addition, confirm there is not another POP account named folder with a similar name within the Mail folder.

Disappearing Emails while using iPhone 5 IOS 7.0.4

On several ocassions already I have opened an email with iPhone Mail and while reading the email accidentally disappears and cannot be found or recovered either in the iPhone or in the main Gmail database. I could not find the email by searching, Sender, Subject, All Mail, Deleted Messages, Spam or Trash Folders. The last email I was reading was important and it disappeared to oblivion while using the iPhone, a very, very frustrating problem.
In the past I had a similar situation two-three times but later I was able to find the email in Deleted Message folder or in the back of a string of email with a particular Sender. Now iPhone just disappears the message completely. Unreliable using iPhone unless one insures that your PC or Mac Book already has the email downloaded before attempting to use iPhone to read the email content. It does not happen all the time just periodically and also makes me wonder if the email was Recalled by Sender and whether an email once received, opened and read it can the deleted by Sender!?????

Sometimes when i reject a coming call then i try unlocking screen , swiping to the right is not working only draging notification center and contol center works but i cannot click on any toggle only click home button to close both, in order to fix the problem i have to reboot the iphone or answer a coming call .

GoDaddy IMAP automatically deleting/disappearing emails from Inbox, solved!

We're running a unibody Macbook 13" with Mac OS X 10.5.8, all patches, and Apple Mail 3.6.
When we moved from Earthlink POP to GoDaddy IMAP, we almost immediately started losing emails from the Inbox. They would literally disappear before our eyes.
We checked online, found others with the same problem, and no actual fixes (some workarounds, such as switching to GoDaddy Exchange email).
I called GoDaddy for help today. Aside from the usual run-down: Are you sure it isn't configured as POP? Did you check that any other devices aren't getting the emails as POP?, we finally got a new solution I hadn't heard before:
Turn off Auto Purging.
If you log into GoDaddy Webmail, right-click on the Inbox, and click Auto-Purging, a little setting pane comes up.
If Auto Purging is already turned off, turn it off again anyway, and make sure the little pop-up confirming the setting has been saved comes up in the bottom right corner.
This seems to have fixed the problem. We've gone for about an hour now without the emails disappearing.
What's more, I got lucky and found that the emails had been thrown into the Trash by the Auto Purge feature, so I could retrieve them (some of them disappeared before Time Machine could back them up).
One important possibility: I discovered that I had mapped the Trash folder to Deleted Messages and not to GoDaddy's Trash folder. So I set this to point to GoDaddy's Trash thinking that this might help. It MIGHT have been what fixed the problem, but it's not likely.
A few other notes to help you guys:
1) We weren't losing emails from any IMAP folder except the Inbox.
2) I tried setting the IMAP folder path to / but that broke the subfolders.
3) After turning off the Auto-Purge and dragging the deleted emails back into the Inbox from the Trash (using Apple Mail to do so), there were duplicates of these emails in the GoDaddy Webmail Inbox that did not show in the Apple Mail Inbox.
4) Using other mail clients like Thunderbird didn't help. The iPad and iPhone would eventually lose the emails too as everything sync'd up with the server.
Hope that helps somebody!

I've had the same problem... As with MOST of the e-mail problems with the PRE the best solution is to delete the account and reload it... I've had to delete and add my account twice!!!
PALM better fix the e-mail functions or a lot of people (my self included) will get real fed up deleting and adding the account every two weeks...
PALM - ARE YOU ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS???

How do you stop Mail App from recovering deleted emails

I use Mail app to manage multiple email boxes. Whenever I send a message, it will fail and ask me to send through another server. If it fails, it will infinitely ask this question. Also when I cancel it, it will infinitely recover and try to send the message. Even when I delete the mail box, it will bring it back. That email address is now unusable through the mail app because it shows the spinning wheel and tries to send/recover the one deleted message over and over.
I have read on this forum that if you delete the invisible folder below, it will get rid of the problem
~/Library/Mail/IMAP-<username>@[email protected]/.OfflineCache
Where is this folder? There is no folder in Library that is named "Mail". So I don't know what to do.

I did what you said but there is no file with "OfflineCache". I even used spotlight and it cannot find a file named or containing "OfflineCache". I saw the recovery folder and deleated the email in there. But when I start up Mail app, nothing has changed. I even deleted all the cashe on my system using CleanApp (hope this doesn't mess up anything) and nothing has changed. I can't even use Mail App until this is fixed.

How can I recover old emails from previous versions of Apple Mail?

I bought a new MacBook Pro Retina display in late 2013. I loaded all my applications and data from Time Machine since my old Mac had died. Unfortunately, the migration program didn't recover most of my email files. In one of the discussions here, it said this was a known problem, and I assumed my old emails were gone forever. For the most part, this wasn't a huge problem, but recently, I had cause to want maybe a dozen or so of those emails, so I went back to try to find a solution.
I did find a discussion here that told how to locate the old mbox file in Time Machine, copy it to the desktop, then import it to Mail. I was able to recover the mbox files without any difficulty, but when I try to import them (using "Files in mbox format"), I get a message saying, "No valid mbox files were found."
Most of the recovered mbox files are hierarchical (i.e., the mbox file shows as a folder in Mail), but I get the same message whether I try to import at the folder level or the mailbox level.
Any ideas? Could Text read the contents of the mbox files?

Recover outlook emails and contacts

My friend's Notebook crashed and I told him that I would recover everthing off of the hard drive. I installed the HDD into my computer and now I am trying to recover his e-mail addressses from outlook. There was no backup file made (.pst file) so I am
stuck! Is there a way for me to recover his outlook e-mail addresses?

Hi John,
Sorry, if you don’t have Outlook PST File then there is no any way to get back those data from HD (Outlook).
Scanpst.exe and any third party recovery software only works in the case when you have a backup of PST File. (As it works only on corrupted and deleted items of Outlook).
But, you should go with Karl’s suggestion and once check the hidden files.
At last, there is only one solution to revert back those emails which is downloading the entire data (email via using an IMAP account) from the server by creating a new PST in Microsoft Outlook.

IMail: slow performance, disappearing emails, random receipt/dispatch of emails

Other users in this forum have reported problems with iMail after upgrading to ML (e.g., iMail slowing down significantly). I suffer from these problems as well, in particular:
1. iMail has slowed down. I followed the advice of other users and deleted all envelope-type files in the library thus "forcing" iMail to reimport all mails. This helpe for a second, until the next problem emerged.
2. In addition, mails apper and disappear randomly depending on the folder that has been activated/highlighted. After a few minutes, mails in other folders appear and disapper.
3. Furthermore, even when all mails in a folder have been read, reference to "x" or "z" mails that were indicated as unread before would not disappear.
4. Finally, dispatch and receipt of emails also only randomly works, which means that form time to time emails can be sent and received - but the program is no longer stable.
As a consequence, iMail has become unusable as of today. Can anyone help solving these problems? Comments and suggestions very much appreciated.

I am having this problem as well. If you quit mail and reenter it, you will see your exchange mail again. Question, do you that are having this problem have a large inbox? Others in my office are not having the same problem but the only difference I have found is that I use searches to organize my inbox instead of physically moving exchange mails into folders so the inbox doesn't have as many messages.
However, Apple NEEDS to fix this ASAP! This has been an absolute pain in the ***.
