Why do my old email messages disappear from my inbox since I started using OSX Mountain Lion on my mac? These are not messages that I have deleted on other linked devices such as my iPad.

TS3276 Why is one email address disappearing from my Sent folder

Since I updated to Lion my email often hangs when I am sending. I have tried a few of the tircks on forums without any great improvement.
Today a new and exciting behaviour has emerged. Emails to one particular address (naturally a really important one!) seem to take for ever to send, and when the process stops they are no where ot be seen - in particular not in my Sent folder. I have tried a few other emails and all have gone off happily.
How can a weird problem exist like this for only one address - that I know works.
Looking at the online email site, I can see these other sent emails too - just not the mysterious disappearing ones!
Any thoughts?

Every contact you've sent a message to is automatically added to the Collected Addresses address book. One approach would be to create a new address book, then copy the desired contacts from Collected Addresses to that book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key. Then, export the new address book to a csv (comma separated) file and open it in Excel.
It's also possible to scan a folder for contacts and have them added to an address book:

TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone? These are emails that I have not deleted.

My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

HT2497 I am finding that emails are disappearing from my Inbox without explanation. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

I am finding that emails are disappearing from my inbox without explanation. Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this?

I found a fix elsewhere for Mail.app. I had to remove every sub-folder under INBOX (I moved them to a local folder) and then used the MAILBOX -> REBUILD command on INBOX. It worked, but now I don't have any of the sub-folders.
I am very disappointed with Apple. I should never have to do that. Tens of Billions of dollars in cash, just lying around, and they can't be bothered to make the most basic (and central) of applications work.

Messages disappeared from my Inbox after Rebuilding

Hi,
I accidentally clicked on "Rebuild" in Mail and messages of the last 3 months have disappeared from my Inbox. However, they are still there in the Mail folder on the hard disk. How do I make them reappear in my Inbox?? Help!!

I had the same problem, after rebuilding, the Inbox was empty. I tried all the fixes I found here and on the forum numerous times with no luck. I was able to recover most email using a Time Machine restore, but the Inbox still was not accepting any new mail. Finally, realizing that my MobileMe mail server was fine, and that Mail continued to work on my iPod, I opened my Mail preferences and deleted my MobileMe account from the machine, and then added it back, configured exactly as it was before. Bingo! Everything is back to normal.

TS4002 EMAIL HAS DISAPPEARED FROM MY INBOX BETWEEN 27/07 AND 21/08/2012. HOW DO I GET IT BACK??

~How do `i retreive these emails.
? HELP! J

I found the answer myself - just reinstall the App from the Blackberry web site, and overwrite the existing one when it tells you it is the same version.
Somehow, it reacts with the phone and puts it all back the way it should have been.

Why have most all email messages disappeared from the folders they were stored in?

I have 57 folders set up in TB. All had multiple email messages stored in them. These file folders were used regularly without any problem. One day I accessed one of the folders and it was empty. It turned out that all folders were empty except for eight and those eight had files missing. I was at a complete loss as to what had happened. I then remembered that System Mechanic, which I have installed, had found something like 124,000 misaligned files prior to this problem and had proceeded to fix the problem. I don't recall if I had tried to reference any of my TB stored emails immediately after the misaligned file problem was "fixed" or several days had passed since this misaligned file problem was "fixed". I have had both TB and System Mechanic installed for 3+ years without any problem. Has anyone had this problem with or without System Mechanic installed.
Thank you for any help offered.

Yes they can. Connect your iPhone to your computer, open itunes, click on info and click on sync contacts. Alternatively you can go to your phone settings, iCloud and deselect the contacts option. A dialogue box or whatever that thing is should come up, select keep on my iPhone. Wait a few minutes and reselect it again and choose merge when it asks you to. Let me know if that solves your problem. It happened to me on my iPhone 4s and I just fixed it a few minutes ago.

Email messages disappearing from my Blackberry Tour

I currently have my BlackBerry Tour configured for three seperate email accounts. The first two are working just fine. I just noticed this this morning that for the third, messages that I have read appear to be disappearing from the device. I've checked in Options and it appears that I have plenty of available space (101680072 bytes free) unless I am misreading what that number represents.
For example, I've read and responded to probably 10 emails from this account today. The emails that I read early this morning no longer show in the inbox, however the sent item for the response that I sent still does. The only items that still appear in the inbox are items that have arrived in the last 2 - 3 hours, anything prior to that, including ALL emails that I have received since setting up the account a few weeks ago are gone. The only thing that is visible for those dates are my sent items.
I had seen another thread in which someone had stated that rebooting by removing the battery might correct the issue but I tried that and it did not. I've included my settings for the email account in question below. I don't use any type of third party sync application, what the heck is going on here and how do I fix it?

Yea this is strange.
Some IMAP email servers will reconcile "read" messages, and perhaps mark them as read on your device IF they have been marked as read on the email server, but Outlook doens't normally do this. The reverse is also true, reading the mail on the device can mark the same message as read on the email server. And in some setups, deletes can be reconciled.
But this sounds different.
The device memory on your BlackBerry should be ok, but let's look anyway, at Options > Status, what is your File Free?

Most of my emails have disappeared from mail Inbox

Hello, last night my emails in my Mail inbox disappeared. I didn't notice at first because the last 10 days are still there, but then I realised that 4 years of email from 1 Nov 2012 up to 2008 (around 20,000 messages) are gone. There are a few for 2008 and then the rest - I had emails back to 2005 have also disappeared.
I am not aware of having done anything different last night - all I did was check my mail as usual - and it was only when I tried to search for an email that I realised my inbox now contains only 300 emails. When I go to iCloud it is the same story. Only 303 emails in my inbox. Trash only contains a few hundred, so its like these emails all just disappeared into the ether
I have no idea what to do or how this happened or what might have caused it. I run Lion 10.7.4 on an old black Macbook and have not installed anything new or upgraded software. I don't download unusual attachments so doubt it is a virus.
Is there any way to try to recover them - my inbox is my filing system so years of important stuff is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks

I download OSX mountain Lion and my mac is very slow.Any idea why?

After downloading mountain lion my mac gets slow...any idea why?

Try this:
Boot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Does this help? If not, then you should reinstall Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Mail messages disappear from the Inbox, but are still in ~/Library/Mail

Folks,
I'm encountering a perplexing problem on my parent's eMac; any input would be very much appreciated...here's the story:
Over the weekend, I upgraded my Dad's 1.25GHz eMac G4 to Tiger (it had been running 10.3.9). The upgrade went smoothly, and all seemed well. I applied all the latest Apple Software Updates to get the eMac to 10.4.6, and once again, all seemed well. I performed the usual Disk Utility "permission fixing," as well, and nothing came up that seemed unusual. I did notice that I encountered the "spinning beach ball" a fair amount during routine operations, but I attributed this to the fact that the eMac only has 512MB of RAM (it's going to receive another 512 in a few days), and that I was just being impatient, given that I am accustomed to my own machine, which is a relatively snappy dual 2.5GHz G5 with the full complement of 8GB of RAM. A day or so later, Dad reported that the Mail app was not starting; upon clicking the Mail icon, it simply bounced several times, and then simply stopped bouncing. I looked at the crash logs and found that Mail could not locate a needed file/library located in /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework. In addition, I noticed that the iCal app and the Address Book app were also crashing (the icons of each would bounce, just like Mail's, then stop, without the apps actually firing up). The crash logs revealed that those apps were also looking for this mysterious file, which apparently had somehow been misplaced/lost. I used the "Pacifist" program to reinstall the contents of that particular directory (using the Tiger install CD). Much to my relief, once that directory was reinstalled, the apps once again started up and worked normally. HOWEVER, I noticed some odd behavior with the Mail app. The first thing that became evident was that the Inbox did not show all the messages that had been there before. Looking under the ~/Library/Mail/POP-Dad's account/INBOX.mbox/Messages directory, however, it was clear that all the messages were indeed there (in the form of the individual .emlx files). They just did not seem to be displayed in the Inbox of the Mail app. I tried doing a "rebuild" of the mailbox, but this did not result in any additional messages being displayed. Any thoughts?
The other perplexing behavior is this: the Mail app on the eMac can send and receive mail, but, once you click on a newly-received (unread) message, and then go to another mail box (say, for example, the "Drafts" or "Sent" folders), and then return to the Inbox, the message that was just received is no longer displayed/listed in the Inbox. Once again, looking in the ~/Library/Mail/POP-Dad's account/INBOX.mbox/Messages directory reveals that the message IS there (again, in its own .emlx file), but is simply not being displayed in the Inbox. I can click on the individual .emlx files, and they open new windows in Mail, from which you can hit "reply" or "forward," as normal; it just won't display the actual message that was originally in the Inbox. Sent messages, however, seem to be saved/displayed normally.
I've searched through the Mail discussion forum, and while I've found discussions along generally similar lines, I have not located an entry dealing with these particular symptoms. As such, any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.
-Javier

Regarding the missing package that you reinstalled with Pacifist, it would have been better to fix the problem by reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update. Actually, you're going to have to do that anyway, as the package you installed came from an older version of Mac OS X and could now be out-of-sync with the rest of the system. Not only that, but if there was something amiss with that package, chances are that something else went awry as well, so you should really reinstall the latest Combo Update. Read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the boot volume (not just permissions) before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.
As to the missing messages, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.0 is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
If you see a strangely named Messages-XXXXXX folder within any of the *.mbox folders in the Finder, that means the conversion didn't proceed as it should, so be careful about deleting the old files, as they may contain messages that didn't come through. Better just move them out of there if you wish.
I partially disagree with Allan (and with Ernie, who also has troubleshooted a lot of similar cases and believes the old files could still be troublesome after a successful conversion as well) in that I don't think the problem with Mail 2.0 is the presence of the old files, but rather that, as a result of the improper conversion, there is something wrong with Envelope Index and with some of the converted messages themselves. IMO, the old files shouldn't be a problem if the conversion worked properly. Mail should just ignore those files when it sees a proper Messages folder in the mailbox folder.
The reason you cannot see in Mail some messages for which an *.emlx file exists is precisely that there is something wrong with Envelope Index. Mail will simply ignore any *.emlx file for which a corresponding entry does not exist in Envelope Index. Actually, Mail doesn't look into the Messages folder at all when displaying the mailbox contents, it just loads whatever there is in Envelope Index. If that information is wrong, the information displayed by Mail will be wrong as well; it may refer to messages that no longer exist, ignore messages that do exist, display one message but load a different one when you open it, etc.
Re-creating Envelope Index without cleaning up the mailboxes first would probably fail and it could even make things worse, though. That's what makes troubleshooting these issues harder than it should be.

Why are do my emails keep disappearing from inbox

Why do my emails keep disappearing from my inbox?

Actually you can set it to a 1000. But anyway i solved my problem. I had to set the days to sync from unlimited to 30 days.

I'm losing my emails from my inbox and my trash. Also an email has gone from my inbox and appeared in my Sent box Can any one help please?

My emails keep disappearing from my Inbox and also my Trash. They arrive, manually summoned ,not Push, and I read them and they can disappera in front of my eyes or if I close the Ipad and then reopen Mail Inbox they just go. One has reappeared in the Sent Box but most have just gone. My Sent box has only got 3 in it, the others had 3 1 hour ago, they have now gone. They will also go if I recheck for mail. Pleas has anyone any idea what has happenend and how I get this sorted?

I usualy have my PC on at the same time as the IPad but I am not always checking for emails at the same time as I am checking on the iPad.
Are you accessing the account with an email client on your computer such as with Outlook or Outlook Express/Windows Mail?
If so, when the email client is launched and running, it is not set to automatically check the account for new messages?
I have just changed Removal of Deleted mesages to Never in Advanced Settings but it's too early to see the effect.
If you are accessing the account with an email client on your computer, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client? With a POP account that is accessed with another email client, this should be set to Never. If the messages are removed from the server after being downloaded with the email client on your computer, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well.
If you created the account on your iPhone using the Yahoo account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account on your iPhone. If you are accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on your computer, this can lead to problems - accessing the account as an IMAP account with one email client and as a POP account with another.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
