RSS Folder Missing in Mail

I was using RSS for a day with no issues in mail. Today the RSS folder and feeds are gone from the left panel. I've tried adding new feeds and the folder still doesn't show up.
The only difference between the two days is I turned on .Mac sync. Any ideas?

I can't figure out what is going on, but syncing may well be related. I've been running developer builds of Leopard for a few of months now, and I've not had this disappearing RSS feed issue in Mail until today. It could simply be a bug in the release version of Leopard, but it also coincides with my installing Leopard on my other Macs and having them all sync (which had its own set of issues, but I digress). Until today I had only been running Leopard on my one development Mac. I've been unable to detect a pattern or a fix, other than quitting mail and restarting. Annoying to say the least. I'll file bug report.

  • Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

    I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
    More info, please.

  • Trash and Junk Folder Missing from Mail 5.1

    Hello,
    I am running Mac OS X 7.1.2, and Mail version 5.1, and am currently experiencing a massive issue when using the Mail Application. At the moment I cannot seem to access a mail folder or a trash folder, and cannot even create a folder and select 'use as trash' as this is greyed out. So far I have managed to get around the Junk issue, by making a new folder and adding a rule that sends all junk mail to it, but cannot see a way to do the same for trash; any suggestions?
    Thanks, 4r1

  • Mail complaining Mail folder missing in the User Library

    Has anyone encountered this issue? I ran a recent update for Mountain Lion and after the update Mail could no longer find the Mail folder in the User Library even when the folder is still there and coughs up the Mail folder missing error message. I've tried rebuilding permisions even replacing the Mail Folder to no avail. can anybody help?

    Bee,
    Thanks for the reply. Bee, I am aware that the user library is hidden. That isn't the issue I'm afraid.
    What is happening is that when I launch Mail, it coughs up an error message saing that it cannot find the Mail folder in the ~/user/library. The weird part is that the folder does exist but Mail just doesn't see it.

  • Albums folder in iPhoto Library folder missing

    The Albums folder in iPhoto Library folder missing. This means when I try to sync photos to my iPod (video) in iTunes, none of my photo albums show up (though I can seclect a specific folder useing year, month day, etc.). It also mens that I must navagate through the date folders to find photos when trying to attach them to e-mails.
    I am running a G5 with the latest version of OSX, iPhoto, iTunes.
    How do I recreat this folder?
    Thankd for any help.
    Cheers__ Heath

    Hi Heath,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Also, when you choose a folder to sync for your iPod, choose iPhoto in the drop down menu in iTunes, then choose the Album you want to sync. Do not choose a folder on your hard drive and then the Albums folder in the iPhoto Library folder.

  • How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

    I received some important emails in my spam folders when I checked them with Safari, but Apple mail does not have them in Inbox or Junk folder. How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

    In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
    The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
    Here's my Gmail account listing:
    It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
    If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
    By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.

  • Not able to add rss to my mac mail

    i m not able to add rss to my mac mail after i deleted my rss folder in my mac mail

    I have a similar problem. I had about 7 RSS feeds in Mail. Two of them stopped working/updating but when I tried to delete them (in Mail) I found I could not. They just stayed put and remained unresponsive. Then I found (1) I could not delete any of the feeds, even the ones that were still working and (2) I could not add any new RSS feeds to Mail.
    I then went to my Library/Mail folder and manually deleted the contents of the RSS folder, without deleting the RSS folder itself. This caused the RSS feeds to disappear from Mail, along with the RSS header in the left menu bar.
    BUT I STILL CANNOT ADD NEW RSS FEEDS TO MAIL! When I click on an RSS tab in a website, it goes through all the right motions but then, nothing. The RSS feed does not show up in Mail and there is no error message.
    I/we need help please.

  • Where is my RSS folder????

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion on launch day, and have noticed that my RSS folder in Mail has disappeared.
    Also, when I surf onto news sights, there is not an option to subscribe to RSS feeds in the address bar.
    Is this an issue just affecting me, or have other people got the same problem???

    So I watch this support video http://support.apple.com/kb/VI30?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and it shows me how to add a rss feed in my mail and how great apple mail is.  So I go to add a feed and I can't.  Now I learn the feature is gone.  Frustrating.

  • How to avoid messages going automatically to the archive folder in Apple Mail?

    Dear list members, I've been using Apple Mail (version 7.3 (1878.6)) on my MacBook Pro 13" (9,2) (MacOS 10.9.4) for years to integrate my GMail, university, and other e-mail accounts in the imap mode. Since some weeks, Mail is behaving odd: some messages are sent automatically to the archive folder. That's quite annoying, as I have to move them manually back to the inbox folder, and sometimes I mess some messages. I did not change any config in Apple Mail or my e-mails servers. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thanks.

    The Archive folder in Apple Mail is linked to the All Mail "label" in Gmail. A label is treated like an IMAP folder, but it really isn't the same thing.
    In case you weren't aware, Gmail saves every email you send or receive inside the All Mail label. In Gmail, you can tag a file with multiple labels. So, a file that comes into Gmail appears in two places at once, the Inbox and All Mail. When you trash a file, the Inbox label is removed, but it still remains in All Mail.
    Previously, the All Mail label was hidden from you in Mail. Apple has been trying to make Mail work with Gmail, but that hasn't been going well.
    I have never had a problem, but I have both Gmail and Apple Mail set up such that any email I trash actually gets deleted and not stored on the Gmail server. I also have it set to no display the All Mail folder at all.  This may not be a fix as others have similar setups, but have problems with Gmail.
    This is how I set it up. I followed the original article, not the Part Deux article. However, you don't need to change the IMAP path prefixes or the label names in Gmail settings. I just have the part where I configured it to delete the emails when I trash them, and hid all the Labels I didn't care to see in IMAP.
    Remember, this may not resolve your problems. I don't know of another "fix."

  • On 10.4.11 Mac Mail I get this: Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full. You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unnedded documents or move documents to another volume. I can't open mail.

    On 10.4.11 iMac Mac Mail I get this message: "Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full. You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume." I can't open mail to do this. I have reinstalled software but no effect. How do I get into Mail to delete?

    Found this on the "more like this" Worked like a charm!
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Move the Envelope Index file to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import mailboxes. Select OK and allow the import process to complete.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully imported and available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old Envelope Index file from the Desktop and this should resolve the problem.

  • Applications folder missing from Dock and Finder

    I was a little confused to find my applications folder missing from the Dock on my Macbook Pro today - I can't think of anything which I may have done to actively cause it to go missing. I opened up the finder and dragged the applications icon from the LHS of the finder onto the RHS of the dock, but rather than reappearing in the doc it just disappeared.
    When I went back to the finder to try again I discovered that it had vanished from there as well. I ran a search in the finder for "applications" and found the applications folder in the results, but when I try to open it I get the following error message "The alias “Applications” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
    Does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused this or on how I get my Applications folder back on the Dock? Any help would be really appreciated!

    The Applications folder on the dock is a shortcut, or more specifically, an alias.
    It sounds like what you did was to drag the Applications item from the Finder sidebar...which is also an alias. By dragging it from the sidebar, it's as if you'd dragged an icon off the dock. It poofs and disappears.
    To get them back, open a Finder window and navigate to Macintosh HD (or whatever you've named your hard drive). At the root level of the drive lives your Applications folder (the actual folder, not an alias). Drag that one to the sidebar to replace that shortcut, and drag it again to the Dock to replace that shortcut as well.
    If you click on Macintosh HD and all you see are System, Library, and Users and have no Applications folder, then something terrible has happened.

  • RSS feeds between Apple Mail and Gmail

    I was wondering if this is possible or if this even exists.
    I am subscribed to RSS feeds in Apple Mail which I love reading on my iMac. But when I'm at the office on a Windows machine I can only read my RSS feeds through Gmail. It's hard to keep track of what I haven't read and have read.
    Is there a way to sync which RSS reeds which are read/unread with Apple Mail and Gmail?

    Thanks, Andy. I should have posted a closure statement on this thread as I finally figured everything out. The most frustrating thing is Google's own advice at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892# couldn't further from correct. After many hours of experimenting with settings, I finally came up with the correct ones. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about it since there is simply no definitive guidance on the web that I've been able to find in the time I've searched.
    Your comments are on target...everything on the *Behaviors Tab* needs to be checked (excepts Notes) and the *Delete when* settings must be set to Never. But there are a few other things that must be done, including some changes on Gmail Settings before Mail and Gmail will be perfectly synchronous. I'll post the entire solution on this forum when I finish the graphics.

  • RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

    The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

    you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.

  • GoDaddy exchange account sent emails not appearing in sent folder in Mac Mail

    The problem: I set up my business email address (GoDaddy exchange account) as a new email account in Mac Mail. A few days later I noticed that sent emails were no longer appearing in my sent folder for this account.
    The solution: there was a conflict with the Gmail account that I also set up in Mac Mail a few days after I set up my business email. I have deleted my gmail account from Mac Mail and so far so good - sent emails are appearing again in the Sent folder in Mac Mail.
    Note:
    - Emails sent from webmail (Office 365 Outlook) did appear in the Sent folder.
    - GoDaddy thought there was a conflict in the name of the Sent folders (called Sent Items in webmail interface), but said it was a problem Apple should solve.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
