Recovering Old Messages

I accidentaly cleared my History and in the history i had many many important things saved, some even worth money and i absolutely need those messages back... Is their any way to recover my history???
Please help, this is super urgent.

i'm not completely sure, but it seems there is no such option to recover deleted messages using the native features of Skype.  Perhaps with the use of a special software, it might be possible.

    Is there any way to recover old messages received on iMessage?

    Hi,
    No.
    If you have several Devices such as an iPad and iPhone and Mac you may find that an older Conversation will sync several days after the iMessages were sent.
    I happened to have been away from my computer over a weekend.
    I iMessaged my wife from my iPhone whilst on a hotel Wifi.
    These were synced when I turned on the Computer and launched Messages.
    This was only a relatively short period of just over 24 hours.
    I have not tested for longer.
    I suspect there may be a 48 hour limit.

  • Need help recovering old messages

    I recently had to do a wipe/reinstall of a mail server, one of the users did not backup old copies of the messages in his imap account. I have recovered the old users folder from /var/spool/imap/user
    How do I go about recovering the messages from that folder, and place them into his new folder?

    Put the messages from the backup into the users mailbox folder and reconstruct the mailbox by issuing:
    sudo -u root /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r -f user/username
    (replace username with actual user name/mailbox name)

  • Messages received before september 4th are not more readable. However , not problem of reading for incoming messages for yesterday and today. How can I recover old messages ??ges dated

    Hi , All my incoming messages up to September 4th on one of my mail accounts are impossible to be read again !!  When I 'click" on any of the messages a blank window appears instead of the text..!!  However , all the incoming messages received yesterday and today are perfectly readable.
    How can I solve this problem ?
    Sorry for my poor English..Thanks in advance

    Hi Francois, nothing wrong with your English at all!
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Is there any way to recover old text messages after update

    When i updated my new iPhone OS to the new system, i had to end up doing a restore. This wiped out all my info and while i have a backup on the computer. I can seem to find a way to recover old text messages via the iMessage platform. Is there any way to recover some of those old conversations? Some have sentimental value to them.

    I just need the last month of texts and I had not backed up for several months.

  • How to recover old chat messages?

    please help me...i want message from the year 2014 from one person ...i delete the person but i want the mesages...how  can find the message...????
    [Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Messaging"]

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    You cannot recover old chat messages, I'm afraid. Skype will only synchronize maximum the last 30 days of conversation when you start it for the first time on a new device.

  • Desperate to recover old text messages

    Hey,
    I am trying to locate some old text messages (from a few months back). I never deleted them but apparently they just disappeared over time. I regularly back up my phone but I am not sure if I can view them from the blackberry back-up assistant on my laptop. 
    does anyone know what I can do to retrieve these old messages?
    Thanks so much!

    You could try to restore the messages back onto your Blackberry from your laptop using the Blackberry Desktop Software.
    http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=13983
    If that doesn't work for you, I recommend that you Google for a program called ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter. It will allow you to read those backup files you have on your laptop and hopefully access those text messages.  I believe there is a 30 day free trial before purchase. 

  • TB stopped retrieving new messages and trying to "reconfigure" my account to fix the problem, now I lost my old messages.

    [4/15/14 edit #3] I posted the requested troubleshooting information and made a backup of Profiles using MozBackup, so my remaining problem is the presence of two Inboxes, both receiving messages, and my not being sure which one can safely be deleted nor how to safely delete it.
    [4/14/14 edit #2] T'bird's Help taught me where my "Profiles" are stored but I found I had no backup of them. However, I now discover that I have TWO Inboxes - hadn't noticed that quirk before. Thankfully, one of them still contains all of my old messages! The Inbox that still has all of my old mail is listed as a subfolder under "Local Folders" and the Inbox that I thought was my only Inbox is listed as a subfolder under the top folder whose name is my email address. Both Inboxes are now retrieving my new mail. Does this mean I have somehow created two accounts? If so, how do I get rid of the account that uses the Inbox that does not have all my old mail in it? I don't want to get rid of the wrong account but I suspect the "right" one should be listed under my email address, not under "Local Folders". If anyone understands this mess that I've created, I'd really appreciate some advice so I don't make things worse. At least I've now learned what it is that I need to back up.
    [4/14/14 edit #1] Following is a major update of the problem I described before (see below). I disabled the Mail Shield portion of my Free Avast antivirus software and discovered that TB was again able to retrieve my email. Then I re-enabled Avast to see if it blocked TB again. It did not. So, apparently simply turning Avast's Mail Shield off and then back on again seems to have fixed the problem. However, I'm now left with the consequences of my having tried to "reset" TB as I described below, namely the loss of a very large number of emails that were stored in my Inbox. So the remaining problem I'd like help with is how to recover those seemingly lost emails. If they remain on my hard drive, where did TB store them and what specific files should I look for? I do have a backup of some of my hard drive (but nothing under Program Files), but I need to know how to identify them, where to look, and how to get them back into my Inbox without deleting its current contents. I'd really like to also retain their original dates, if possible. I'm running 64-bit Windows 8.1. [end of 4/14/14 edit]
    TB suddenly stopped downloading my mail today. After I click Get Mail, I can see at the bottom of the screen a very rapid succession of messages; first the "connected..." message, then "checking...", then "downloading 1 of 10...", then finally, "No messages to download" after downloading absolutely none of them. I also noticed that my list of mailboxes was missing the very first entry that showed my email address as the account name. Figuring something major must have been changed in my account configuration, I went through all the settings but saw no problems. Finally, I decided to try to re-establish my same account. That did place my email address again back at the top of the mailbox listings as my working account name but it also created a worse problem. There were now no messages in my inbox, I suppose because I must have created a new account using the same name as the old one, whereas before there were thousands of messages that I had saved for many years (since this is a business). Then when I clicked Get Mail, TB downloaded 383 messages that had not yet been deleted from the server, giving then all today's date (another loss since their original dates were important). But after it finished downloading all of them, clicking Get Mail still does not retrieve any messages past the time that it stopped retrieving them earlier today. Those newest messages remain on the server - but now there are 14 of them instead of 10. The same succession of TB messages appears at the bottom of the screen, but now it says "Downloading 1 of 14..." but still downloads none of them and ends with, "No messages to download". This sequence of messages will repeat as often as I try to retrieve mail but it can still count how many it is NOT downloading. Two questions: (1) Are the thousands of messages that were stored in my Inbox still stored somewhere on my computer and is there any way to recover them? (2) How can I get TB to start retrieving my current email again? I guess it's obvious that these are important problems to me and that I'm totally stumped. Many thanks in advance.

  • Is there a way to recover old iMessages?  Or is there a way to track iMessages?

    Is there a way to recover old iMessages?  Are these messages held in the network somewhere?  If so, how easy is it to recover them?  I need to look up some messages for a file of mine.
    Thank You

    Look on the device.
    If they've been deleted off the device, the only hope of finding them would be to restore to a backup created prior to them being deleted off the device.

  • Mail lost all settings and does not allow to see old messages

    One day I launched mail and it appeared as if it was starting for the first time. I aborted the procedure, rebooted and relaunched mail but again. So I regave all the necessary parameters. Then I noticed that Mail had actually kept all the previously custom folders but would not show -a part from the most recent ones- all older messages in Inbox. I looked into Library/Mail/mailboxes and found the missing messages but whenever trying to reimport them into mail got the message that Mail could not find messages in a format acceptable to Mac OS. Actually the messages can be opened with the Mail (but not imported) and have extension .emlx
    As an addtional info, the problem appeared shortly after I had switched hosting service but I do not see how this could have affected mails sitting in my hard disk.
    It should also be noted that I am receiving and reading new mails without problem.
    Any suggestion on how to recover my messages and have them again accessible in my Inbox?
    Thanks.
    Stefano

    What you’ve described could be the result of having set up the account differently and Mail not recognizing the account folder already present in ~/Library/Mail/ — see below a more thorough description of this particular issue. If this is a POP account, the most recent messages in Inbox might appear to have been preserved because they were still on the server and Mail downloaded them again as if you had never set up this account in Mail before.
    Under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all your non-.Mac account settings (but not the messages themselves) are lost. If you had a .Mac account, its settings would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set up that account automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This is where all your mail is stored.
    There are three ways you could have solved this problem (#2 is what you did):
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, I would expect com.apple.mail.plist.saved to be corrupt, but apparently that often is not the case and the settings can indeed be restored by just renaming it back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
    <hr>
    For each mail account, Mail creates a folder in ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server.
    When re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, setting up an account with a username and an incoming mail server that exactly match one of the already existing account folders in ~/Library/Mail/ causes Mail to automatically recognize and reuse that account folder. If the username and/or the incoming mail server are different and don’t match an already existing account folder, however, a new account folder is created from scratch, that account behaves as if it had never been set up in Mail before, the old account folder is simply ignored, and the messages it contains become inaccessible other than by manually importing them or setting up the account again.
    If you have more account folders in ~/Library/Mail/ than accounts in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, that means some of the account folders have been created anew whereas others are being ignored by Mail (and hence, you don’t have access to the mailboxes and messages stored within them). You can, however, import their contents doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and following the instructions. You can get rid of the unused account folders afterwards.
    Pay attention to the instructions that Mail displays when choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format. In the next step, Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported (i.e. the folder where the *.mbox folders to be imported reside), not the *.mbox folders themselves nor the Messages folders within them. If you select the wrong folder, Mail says “No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found” because it cannot find any *.mbox folders within the folder you’re selecting.
    Alternatively, you may try re-creating com.apple.mail.plist again and this time use the exact same username and incoming mail server that Mail used to name the old account folder.

  • 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).

  • Mail showing very old messages in inbox

    When I do a search on someone's name for whom I have received an email, I often get other emails with that same name (but a different person) that are from 2005!when I click on the email, there is nothing showing in the preview and there's nothing when I click on 'Show in mailbox' either. Any ideas where these very old messages are stored???

    I see the choice in Mailboxes. I just tried it and unfortunately it wiped out all my 'trash' contents. I typically keep trash for 6 months out in case I need to refer to thing that inadvertently found there way there instead of a folder. Darn. I hadn't realized it would wipe out the ones in the trash folder. Yeah, I know they were 'deleted' from the inbox, and others, etc. but I still considered them safe until I deleted them physically from the trash mailboxes. My error but I can recover them from Time Machine. And ironically, the emails from 2005 are still showing up when I do a find on say, the name "kate". Oh well. still unresolved at this point. thanks for trying though.

  • Mac mail won't load old messages!

    Hi!
    I've been trying to set up my mail, but the account will only load up to 106 messages, though the 'incoming messages' bar says something around '506 of 628' messages incoming. Is there anyway to get them back? I've tried the rebuild option but it does absolutely nothing. I managed to get 400 to load, by fiddling with servers, and then clicked rebuild to get the rest and it took it back to 106! Please help, I'm not very good with tech language but I desperately need the old messages back!
    Also the mail I'm trying to recover is not a gmail/yahoo or anything, it is linked to my personal website which is hosted on TSO. I've tried using IMAP, POP, and turning off ssl but to no avail!
    Thanks,
    Claire

    I'm experiencing similar problems, inbox empties as soon as I open a message (I still can send/receives messages. Spent 1 hour with AT&T and Apple customer service; all the help they gave was "delete the account", which did not do anything...it reminded me (not in a good way) of the days of frequent MS Windows crashes and all the help MS would provide was "just restart your computer.." very frustrating so far.
    Anybody, please help! Thanks!! My yahoo mail works fine on Wifi or 3G, Safari does too, I tried my exchange email on wifi and 3G and get the same problem..

  • How to stop Thunderbird from reloading old messages?

    Thunderbird is downloading over 12,000 old messages. How do I get it to stop? I had to use another email address to get the email for verification from support. HELP!!!!

    Thunderbird keeps track of What is downloaded and what is not in a file called popstate.dat If something damages that file or more commonly of late the provider re-indexes the messages on the server and allocates them new reference numbers. Thunderbird is flying blind, what it has is invalid and it has no way of recovering other than starting over.
    ATT and Yahoo (those I am aware of) have re-indexed mails frequently over the past year, but there are occasions when a mail provider must do that. Say when they get new mail software from a different company.
