Some emails missing

Starting few weeks ago I am not receving some emails. I simply do not receive them nor on my mac nor on the icloud. I tried to find a common theme but looks to be really random, and it is increasing in frequency lately. Will you have any suggestion on the reason and how to fix it?

It sounds like the emails are not being received if they are not on the server. Do the senders get a bounce message?
If you have a second email like a Gmail account, you could have the sender send a test message to your iCloud and Gmail account and see if you receive at Gmail but not on iCloud. Check both using your browser. No need to setup Gmail for this test. We just need to verify messages sent are received on the server.
If the messages come into your account when viewed in your browser, then we need to check to see why Mail is not receiving.

Some emails missing from Mail InBox

All emails received in Mail, version 3.6 (936) between 6:57pm 8 August and 6:15pm 10 August (around 30 messages) have disappeared from my Inbox at some time in the afternoon of 10 August. (I don't suspect the timings are significant, I'm just being specific.) I did not delete them, accidentally or otherwise. They have not moved to any other folder. Account type is POP.
I have followed all recovery procedures listed at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907, but nothing has worked. The messages were still on my ISPs server so I have been able to retrieve them on my MacBook.
Questions:
• Is there any known reason for this problem?
• Any way to prevent it recurring?
• Is there some way I can retrieve the lost messages from my ISP into Mail on my iMac?
• Is there any way to import only the missing messages into Mail on my iMac from Mail on my MacBook?
• How can I inform Apple of this problem by email?

Ok....now when I reply to something from my Mail....my phone is sending another reply to the recipient...except blank. Grrrr.

If you are using Apple's Mail app 6.5 is the latest version irrespective of what a previous poster says. It does sound though that you are using a gmail account online via a web browser. Please confirm and fill in missing information.

Emails missing from Mail - can't access backups from Time Machine

To my dismay both of my gmail accounts through the mail client will only show me emails from the last 30 days. I went to check gmail through Safari and the same story, I'm locked out of emails from before the last 30 days. This is not only on my Mac, but also on my iPad and iPhone.
I attempted to go into Time Machine and do a restore, but the same thing is happening and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be. For some reason even when Time Machine pulls up my email backups I can see stuff from every year but 2013 and the beginning of 2014. It starts populating the backup to show me my emails, but nothing appears and I know those emails have to exist somewhere.
Does anyone know if this is some kind of code error that caused this, or if there is anyway to get around it? Having an entire year's worth of emails missing is really problematic for me as you can expect. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Why date and time do not show as links in some email message in 4s?

why date and time do not show as links in some email message in 4s?

To add it back, tap the Edit button at the top of the list of mailboxes and select the missing email account so that it has a tick against it (you can also change their order in the list by dragging the parallel line icon to an account's right), tapping Done should then get it to show in the list

I am only getting some emails in Mail app

I have two computers, my iMac and an XP running Outlook. Both have the same settings to retrieve email from my hosting service.
I am only getting some email to my iMac/Mail app. That is, I can log onto my web server and see eMails marked as unread that won't download and others that do download.
All messages come to my XP / Outlook box.
I have been on with my hosting tech support and everything is fine from their side, so I assume it must be something with Mail.
Please help, this is my first week in the Apple world after being a windows user for over 15 years.
Thanks!

Hello Paul.
Be carefull when using multiple mail clients on a single POP account, that's not the way POP was designed.
Consider using IMAP instead, or be carefull with the settings of each of your email client, especially concerning the deletion policy.
Most email client can be configured to delete message from the server immediatly, after a period of time, or never.
What could happen is Outlook does retrieve mail fine, then deletes them.
When Mail comes to get the mail, it only gets the one arrived after the last Outlook retrieve, but Mail by default keeps message on the server for something like 7 days, that's why Outlook can then retrieve all messages the next time it checks your POP account, but because it deletes them all, Mail is missing some of them.

TS3988 Seem to have lost some emails on my iPad after iOS 6 update, how can I retrieve/ find them?

Lost some emails on iPad after iOS update!help!

If the missing email is no longer on your email provider's server, there is no way to recover them. If this is an iCloud email address, you can check your mail on icloud.com from your computer to confirm whether the lost email is there or not.

Please Help - Some emails mysteriously dissappear - Microsoft Exchange

Hello there
I do need a help!
I am getting quite desperate and I have sense that there can be actually very simple solution. I have my work emails on too many devices - on my iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, Work Mac desktop and at home on my Macbook pro. For about 2 years now, but with an increased frequency in recent months, my emails tend to mysteriously disappear. What I mean it I see it, I read it on my iPhone, and the next thing the email is gone and I cant find it anywhere. I do not mean all emails, just one out of many.. This happens only if I see it first on iPhone (I think). I get a lot of emails, and it happens to about 1 in 200 emails. But usually it is the most important email, and from my contacts. I checked all, thrash, everything, nowhere to be found. I am getting a bad reputation as I am missing some emails, and my IT team thinks I have just deleted them.
It is an Microsoft Exchange account. I have multiple private accounts on my iPhone as well, but this seems to be happening (or I have noticed) only for the Microsoft Exchange.
Do any of you had a similar problem? Or know any solutions? I am thinking of not using my iPhone for emails anymore...
Many thanks
Please help!!!

Hi
Thank you so much for your reply. These are my observations to your points raised:
1) I change my password regularly, and I do not think this is the case. I checked the login record for my account, and it is only my devices. So perhaps not, but you are right, you never know.. No one has my password or access to my phone which is locked.
2) I do not think this is possible, in the job that I am doing, but certainly a possibility.
3) I thought about this, trust me. I was questioning myself whether I have not dreamt those emails? But embarrassing reminders from clients, and from colleagues, forwarded emails back to me that clearly show that I should have received them, and prove this theory otherwise. The idea of deleting them may be true, but then they would be in trash, deleted items, or somewhere even if moved or deleted from the inbox of iPhone (and I am sure I didn't delete them).
I am in so much stress so any ideas that you guys have I do need to take seriously!!

Can not view (some) emails with attachments

There has already been some discussion about individuals getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4983643
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am using GMail and am having problems reading (some) emails with attachments. I can read the first several lines through the preview view, but can not open (some) emails without getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
The problem appears to be completely random. The problem occurs sometimes after I open the email on my computer, and other times it occurs before I open the email on my computer. And sometimes opening the email on my computer does not cause any problem opening the email on my phone.
I have seen this problem on two different phones now and have re-created the email accounts on both phone several times. But the problems keeps (eventually) appearing--for some, but not all emails.
 PowerBook G4, Macintosh 512K iPod nano (2nd Gen 8GB), iPhone (8GB)

So, I think things are actually sending/downloading and it's just taking time and the iphone is defaulting to the error message.
I don't think that's the case. I have several week-old messages on my iPhone (each under 300k) that still say "The message has not been downloaded from the server."
I've been connected to wifi for over an hour now, so that's plenty of time to downloaded these few small emails. I can read the "preview" of the message from the Inbox screen, but when I click on the message itself, I get the error.
And, those messages with the attachments that I was able to open this morning? I can no longer open them now. Very, very frustrating.

Some emails are there when searching, but do not show up in inbox for mail account. How do we permanently fix that? This is dangerous for businesses that rely

Hi, and thanks,
I noticed that many dozens of others have expressed the same problem with Thunderbird, but it still continues.
For no apparent reason, sporadically, some emails don't show up in the inbox list of an account, but are actually there. If we're told later that someone sent one, and if we do a search at that time, it does come up!
We rely on this for business, and wouldn't know to search if we are unaware that an email has come in but simply doesn't appear in the list. We have actually lost significant business $ on 3 separate occasions, from clients who have said they emailed us, but we never responded! (That's really bad, and even worse because they also won't use us any more.)
Obviously, we of course would not want to have to check with the webmail host when we have Thunderbird. So...., how can we permanently fix this problem so it never, ever occurs??? We used to use Eudora before switching, and this never happened.
Some blogs say to delete one of the files in the system to re-index the inboxes, but again, that would not be the answer, because we wouldn't know to do that, nor when to do that, since some emails, without a warning or clue, occasionally simply don't show up in the list at all.
Please let us know the permanent and complete fix for this ASAP.
Thanks so much,
Les Pock

Lers, I have used Thunderbird for the best part of a decade and have only once experienced something similar to what you describe and it was a corrupt database.
So lets just back up a bit.
If you want mail to flow without issue the first bullet to bite is anti virus.
* Scanning of outgoing mail is a total waste of time and an added risk for no return. You anti virus already certifies your machine clean.
* Scanning of incoming mail is of extremely limited value. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in email, so there is no bug that will junmp out and start running even if your mail is not scanned and it contains a virus. The exception to that is attachments. But they are not dangerous either, unless you try and open them. Even then your anti virus should be monitoring the temporary folder on your computer and blocking any attempt to write the infected file, let alone execute the contents.
* Scanning of your mail folder likewise is of limited value, but is more than often the cause of mail indexes not being updated. These days anti virus program appear to scan everything. Every file as it is accessed and opened. Thunderbird often has quite large files to store mail, up to 4Gb is not all that uncommon. Anti virus program take about 2 minuted per Gigabyte to scan files. So it can be the case that the anti virus is scanning while Thunderbird is timing out waiting for access to the appropriate files.
To make things more efficient exclude your Thunderbird mail profile folders from on access scanning by your anti virus program. The folders contain NO executable programs, and a weekly scan along with the rest of your computer with Thunderbird closed should be more than adequate. Perhaps scheduled for1am Friday. Gives Friday to deal with anything found and does not interrupt your use of the device.
A similar exclusion can also be beneficial for other data storage areas (databases especially)
Finally look at what processes run on your computer. there aerew by default about 40 when it is new and over time this grows with almost every security, office or game you install until your computer is so busy running background processes to check if the latest versions of XXXX has been released that it becomes sluggish and performance on most things is degraded (That common nugget of Windows computers getting slower over time is TRUE, but a large part of that is added processes and security software which is actually reducing performance quite extensively.)
BTW right clicking a folder, selecting properties and the repair button rebuilds the index non destructively as deleting the files as you mention also looses tags.

Since the latest update to OX I have been unable to download the contents of some emails because pages does not support the font they are created in. Is there a fix for this?

Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

Some emails I receive on my ipad seem to disappear when I want to look at them again. Also I forwarded an email to several people with attachment. WhenI went back into the email to print off the attachment it wasn't there.

Some emails I receive on my iPad seem to have disappeared when I try to go back into them. Also I sent an email with attachment to several people. When I went back into my email the attachment had disappeared. I phoned one of the recipients to see if the attachment had been delivered and it had. She tried forwarding the email and attachment back to me. I received the email but not the attachment. I checked my iphone fior the original email and the attachment wasn't included. I have IOS7 on the ipad but IOS6 on the iphone. Can anyone advise please?

How to see my unanswered questions? Some forums missing?

I miss the old format... Maybe I'm old and stubborn, but this new Apple forums format isn't growing on me - I'm finding it difficult to navigate. Is it possible to customize my view so that I see all of my unanswered questions, and perhaps some select forums? If not, what's the easiest way to find my open questions - I can't seem to find the link. Also, are all of the forums here or have some been removed/consolidated? Either I'm not searching correctly or they're gone - it seems like some are missing; the old list was much clearer than this scroll-down thing.

TAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You GO, girl!
