Trash Folder has disappeared from Apple Mail.

I had to boot into Windows - saw lots of old messages in Inbox
of Outlook Express so I deleted them. Ooops - they were sitting
on the MobilMe server. Now I don't even have a Trash folder over
on Apple Mail in either Tiger or Snow Leopard (2 Macs). How can
I restore?
Thanks,
Tom

Is this account POP or IMAP?
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 these 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

  • Drafts are Disappearing from Apple Mail Drafts Folder

    I am using Apple Mail wil my Mobile Me and an IMAP Gmail account.
    I create, save and close a draft and it then disappears from my Drafts folder with no sign of it anywhere. To date I have lost many emails and countless hours of work rewriting emails. This is more than frustrating.
    Is there a way to recover these missing drafts?
    How can I stop this from happening in the future?

    Same issue.
    Any resulotion yet?
    This is happening with my 4S - never was a problem with 3G.

  • E-mail disappeared from Apple Mail in Mavericks

    Hello,
    I think I experienced a bug yesterday in Apple Mail (I am running Mac OS X 10.9):
    While organizing my e-mails, I made a new folder in my iCloud account in Apple Mail. Let's call it "Apple". Then I used the search function to find the e-mails (within my iCloud account) with a certain keyword (let's say "Pear") in order to transfer those e-mails to the "Apple" folder.
    I dragged the first "Pear" conversation into the "Apple" folder. The conversation then disappeared briefly from the search results. At that moment I wanted to select the second "Pear" conversation, but in the meantime the first "Pear" conversation had been processed in the "Apple" folder and reappeared in the search results.
    So I accidentally clicked again on the first "Pear" conversation and dragged it again to the "Apple" folder (even though it was already filed there) and at that moment the whole conversation disappeared. I did not manage to retrieve the messages from this conversation thereafter. I looked for them with Spotlight, in the trash, I restarted Apple Mail... Then I tried to rescue them from my iPhone but the disappearance had already synchronized to iCloud and deleted them from my phone as well.
    As they are all recent messages I can't retrieve them from my Time Machine, as I only backup once a week. Furthermore, I was able to reproduce the behavior on other e-mails by using the search function and dragging an e-mail to its own folder again.
    Can anyone else reproduce this?
    And does anyone know how to proceed in order to retrieve the e-mails? They were not yet on my Time Machine as they are all very recent e-mails, but they are replies to my wedding save the date message so would like them back very much....
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm practically Amish when it comes to this stuff so I'm limited to opening and deleting (I've got a ton of e mails in my deleted account and its not there either.
    Thank you for the input

  • Sent emails disappearing from Apple Mail

    Hello, I'm finding that sent emails are disappearing from my sent folder in Apple Mail. I was having this issue with the account's IMAP settings, so I've deleted the account and used the Exchange settings – same issue. It was working fine for a while, and then they've stopped saving in the sent folder altogether.
    If I send emails through webmail, there's no issue.
    Machine / Software –
    OS X 10.10.2 on an iMac 21.5" 3.06Ghz Core i3 with 12GB of RAM

    Have exactly the same problem.
    Sent six emails, without realising they wouldn't get saved in Sent Folder.
    Moreover, i messaged one of the people i sent an email to and he told me the email did not arrive?

  • My user folder has disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it says it is still there. Anyone know how to restore it. I can drag a duplicate from the find window onto the hard drive but don't want two copies with one hidden.

    My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?

    Did you update to 10.9.3?
    If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
    That is the fix for that problem.

  • One "local folder" has disappeared from the left pane of my Thunderbird account. I need to find it What has happened?

    This was a very large store of personal emails. The folder title was Iran. I'm not aware that I did anything in particular, and everything else in the left pane looks perfectly normal. What to do?

  • Exchange Archive folder disappears from Mac Mail (Mavericks)

    My Exchange 2013 Archive mailbox folder keeps disappearing from Mac Mail (Mavericks). When it does, the mailbox/folder shows 0 messages and 0 size in the Account info box. To temporarily solve the problem, I disable the account, quit mail, and reenable the account. Then the Archive folder/mailbox reappears. This happens several times per day. By the way, the folder is still visible on Outlook Web Access and through the Outlook client. It is simply invisible to Mac Mail. Does anyone know how to solve that?

    Well, somehow, it disappeared after 10.8.2. and the following fixes which had no numbers.
    Mail startet and told me, that Mailbox is somehow adapted and now everything works fine.
    Strange....

  • Panic.  All my email has disappeared from iCloud.  I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from today.  What happened to my old emails?

    Sorry for the long header, but this is my first question.
    Today, for no apparent reason, my iCloud inbox/sent items/junk/trash everything has disappeared from all my devices.  I checked iCloud, and there's nothing up there either.  I did not delete all my email, either intentionally or by accident.
    Meanwhile, iCloud is now working again, but all the old mails are gone, I'm hoping not forever.
    How do I recover all this missing material, which is essential both to my business and personally?
    thanks

    I'm in the same position - this morning all my emails on iCloud have vanished.
    Luckily I  use an IMAP account in Entourage to keep copies on my machine, and I have a backup where all the emails are still visible. But if I connect ot iCloud using entourage they all vanish from entourage as well, so until this is resolved I cannot connect using entourage.
    I have another iCloud account I hardly use, and that's working fine. Similarly my wife's account is also working fine - all her emails are visible in iCloud and in entourage.
    Anybody had a successul way of dealing with this ?

  • Email disappeared from Mac Mail.

    Hello. Email has disappeared from Mac Mail. Running last updated Mavericks. I went back in the time machine settings to revert to the day before the mail disappeared, and each time I go in there, I can see the mail showing up. Except, when I go to revert, nothing transfers back into the account. Any advice on what is going on and how to fix it? Years of mail are now "gone."

    Okay, there is definitely an error message coming up in the log. I only selected a few messages from 2008 to restore. I selected just one of the error log messages I received (essentially one for each email it tried to restore). Thanks for all your help. As an aside, if it helps you to respond, I've just started a computer science degree, so I'm starting to feel my way around this stuff, but have a good cursory understanding. Not to say that your directions aren't just succinct and perfectly laid out!

  • The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX10.5 to 10.6. How do I get it back?

    The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX 10.5 to 10.6. How can I get it back?

    Updating your Mac's OS X version won't have affected how the Mail app (I assume that it's the Mail app that you are using, not Safari) shows on your iPad. If you don't have the menu bar showing in the Mail app then try closing the Mail app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it shows when you re-open it : iOS: Force an app to close
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • All my mail has disappeared from my outlook account after a software update

    I just downloaded iDisplay and updated my software and now all my emails and email account has disappeared from Outlook. I had been using it prior to undertaking these actions. Any ideas?

    Your Outlook mail is stored in a folder inside your Documents folder - "Microsoft User Data." Make sure that this folder is intact.
    The next time you start Outlook, hold down the option key to rebuild your identity. Your emails should remain intact.

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.
