TS3899 Cannot see my mail in other folders/mailboxes I created. They disappeared!  Says NO MAIL

Have created other folders/mailboxes and moved many files over to them.  Recently they all disappeared, NO MAIL appears. I can see my INBOX mail though!,
Is there a quick fix?

I too had this problem, it happend yesterday around noon. No idea what triggered it, but I know that it is happening to other people, message boards are peppered with strings of postss about this. Restarts and PRAM clearing didn't help me at all, nor did a mailbox rebuild. In other discussoins here, I see information about more techincal solutions, but they intimidate me, worried I will make matters worse.
I have good news to report, but I suspect it won't help everyone who is having this problem.  But a few months ago, I bought an Apple Time Capsule and started using Time Machine (TM). It is a totally invisible operation, I more or less forgot that the Time Machine backups were happening, and I never really understood how they work. It turns out it is very easy to use. Well of course it is, Apple designed it!
But I went in to the TM view of my backups, and chose one from mid-morning, which I believe was before the moment when my mailboxes went missing. Since I had my Mail Viewer Window open, TM seemed to know that I was looking for a backup of just that program's data, because it showed a small text box letting me know that it was installing the backup for my inbox. It took a little while, not sure, but at least ten minutes, maybe more, but when I came back to my computer, everything was there, exactly as it had been before the problem. Frankly I do not know if TM replaced other things on my computer with the mid-morning version. After doing a Check Mail, all my incoming mail was in place. The one thing I lost were my Sent mails in the short period between mid-morning and when I did this TM fix.
So my Time Capsule and Time Machine paid off big-time for me yesterday. And now I would recommend that system to anyone who, like me, is not a huge computer geek, but who has huge amounts of data that they depend on.
Of course, for anyone who is suffereing this bizarre problem, and who perhaps doesn't use Time Machine (I didn't until very recently), I hope you find another solution. Maybe looking thru you rmore traditional backup systems and finding a recent backup that  you can somehow meld in to your current Mail inbox.

    That about sums it up Keith. You provided may offer pop, most offer IMAP as an add-on to their traditional POP. Thunderbird when setting up an account will default to using pop unless you specify otherwise as that is the current consumer expectation (synchronized mail)

  • Cannot see all mail accounts when I open up Mail

    Having down loaded iOS 5 for  iPad, I cannot see the arrows which takes the user back to other Mail accounts

    First thing... do a simple reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Now, is that screen viewable?

  • I upgraded my iPad and now I cannot see the mail boxes, I upgraded my iPad and now I cannot see the mail boxes, I upgraded my iPad and now I cannot see the mail boxes

    I upgraded my iPad to the newest version of iOs and now the body of the message is covering the full screen and cannot see the list of mailboxes, I have no idea of what to do to fix this.

    That view is the normal view in the portrait orientation. If you are in portrait, swipe left to right and the mailbox list shows up. If you are in landscape, then that isn't right.
    Restart or reset the iPad and see if that helps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You can also try quitting mail and restarting.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e w the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Cannot see Inbox mail of one account

    I've 6 emails account on Mail. All of them are working fine except one (Yahoo) that's not working correctly: *I'm not able to see any mail into InBox*.
    - I'm able to send emails from that Yahoo account.
    - The mails are present on Yahoo Web server and other PC/devices are able to download them.
    - Connection Doctor says that connection is working correctly.
    - When Mail tries to download new mails it shows on the bottom/left widget that there are mails for the inbox (the expected amount), but it doesn't show them on the Inbox list.
    - Search filter is not used or working (Inbox seems really empty even from related Finder mail folder).
    I've already:
    1- removed and recreated the Yahoo account (no differences)
    2- reindexed the emails list as described by Apple
    Do you have any idea on what else to do?

    Solved.
    Yahoo had several emails corrupted and somehow Mail was not able to download them. Removing the first emails from Yahoo fixed the problem.
    Now it's working correctly downloading and showing emails.
    It's disappointing the Mail was not telling anything about the error.

  • My emails disappear once they have been read, and I cannot find them in any other folders.

    Every time I receive a new email, once I click on it (and it becomes "read"), it disappears after a minute or two. I cannot seem to recover these emails, they are not in any other folders. Are there settings that do this that I'm completely missing?

    Try AppMenu button - View - Messages - All.

  • Video Conferencing Program cannot see myself but the other party

    I have made a video confrencing a program. I am now able to see the other party doing the conferencing but I cannot see myself on my screen. Can anyone help?

    If you meets that any other one can't see themself just like you.
    I think It's becaouse you use the datasourse for your transfer to another.
    you shold find of the sample of JMF solution as the clone datasourse sample.
    and you can play your own capture and transfer at the same time.
    or if just you can't see yourself and other party cannot see you. You should check the hardware by JMF Registry.
    Hope this help...

  • After upgrading to ios7, i cannot see multiple mail folders on the mailboxes page

    On ios6, i could see all my accounts and browse folders of each account on my iphone. Why is this not visible on ios7?

    Hi, I think you will need to go to your Aol email page as you want it, then open Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > General tab, and set 'Home Page' to Use Current Page. You may also want to set 'When Firefox starts' to Show my homepage.
    Hope that works for you.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

    Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

    In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

  • IPhone 4 - Cannot see e mails

    My iPhone 4 has suddenly stopped showing e mail text. When an e mail comes through, I can see the preview, however when I open the e mail, there is just a blank screen (i.e no text). I have tried deleting the account and reinstalling on the phone - doesn't work, symptoms the same. I have sync'd - doesn't work, symptoms the same. Any gurus out there that can help please?

    I had the same problem a couple of times. The problem with mine was with multitasking. What I did when the problem came up was double click the home button to activate multitasking where mail is in the dock area, touch and hold the mail app till the red negative icon is at the top then close it where it removes it from the multitasking dock. Then tap the mail icon again and it should work, at least it did for me. It has done it to me only a couple of times and has not at all since the new software update. Hope this helps.
