When I drag a message from trash folder back to inbox it disappears- where is it?

I see the key command in the Messages menu for moving messages back to inbox, but really, there should just be a "move" button for moving messages from folder to folder.

I presume you are using a POP mail account and the email originally was in the Inbox before it was moved to Trash.
There is a method of checking the actual mbox file.
Make hidden files and folders visible - scroll down to see MAC info:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird:
Help > Troubleshooting Information
* Click on 'Show folder'
A window opens showing Profile folder
* '''close Thunderbird now - this is important. '''
* click on 'Mail' folder
* click on 'Mail account name' folder
Look for 'Inbox' file (not Inbox.msf) and open using Notepad
All emails are listed one after the other. Note: newer emails are appended to the file, so the newest date will be at the bottom.
Emails start with these lines:
Example:
* From - Fri Apr 24 15:49:42 2015
* X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
* X-Mozilla-Status2: 00800000
Use the Edit > Find
look for lines like the one below which has a '''0009''' number.
* X-Mozilla-Status: 0009
Read the email info to see if this was the email you need to rescue.
If yes then
* change the''' 0009''' to '''0001'''
* save the file.
* Then delete the 'Inbox.msf' file.
* Restart Thunderbird

    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.

  • How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
    •Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Drag a file from a folder to my desktop

    When I try to drag a file from a folder to my desktop, it gets thrown to the upper left-hand corner, almost all of it 'off' the desktop, not where I tried to 'set' it...wuwt?

    In ~/Library/Preferences: Trash helpviewer.plist and helpviewer.plist.lockfile

  • Smart Mailbox ignoring NOT unchecked box to include messages from Trash

    I just created a new Smart Mailbox in Lion's Mail.  Despite NOT checking the box to include messages from Trash, messages from Trash are included AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE.  Any ideas? 
    Anyone else with similar results?

    The proposed solution appears to work great only in the following scenario: 
    Include emails from X and exclude the trash mailbox, and the conditions are set to ALL.   (Contain messages that match ALL of the following conditions.)
    Does anyone have a solution for when you want your smart mailbox to include emails from more than 1 email address and still exclude trash?   If you select ANY, it will pull up all emails not in trash from any recipeint, not just the 2 you are seeking to include.  
    Or, is there a 3rd party app out there that allows for multiple conditions like rules allow in Mail?  (i.e. include any messages from any of these 5 email addresses as long as they aren't in the gmail spam folder). 

  • Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

    I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months.  When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook).  It is getting full.  Any idea how to delete from trash folder.  My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file.  No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.

    I'd go on the P.C. side of your Mail and start clearing it will clean what's on the phone and the Computer i have done this Many time on my Gmail and Yahoo.. b33

    Hi,
    the feature works fine in the mailbox of the user but not from within the exchange personal archive.
    Instead the reply is saved in the send items folder of the mailbox.
    Any suggestions how to make this work?
    Best Regards,
    zrvb

    AFAIK, that is how it is intended to work. The archive is considered as "old-emails" so the newly created reply doesn't fall within that category.
    Contact Microsoft Support by phone to submit it as a bug when it is "unexpected behavior" from your point of view or otherwise as a feature request/design change.

    I am running system 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install your new version 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there (which is now the 3.6.17). What is going on?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Moving messages from one folder to another.

    hi there,
    I am trying to move messages from one folder to another. It works perfectly when i try to move one message at a time. However when i try to move more than 1 message(for e.g 2 messages) only the first message is being move to the destinated folder and while attempting to move the 2nd message it is throwing IndexOutOfBounds exception.
    This is how i am attempting to move the message.
    String destFolder = request.getParameter("fold");
    String srcFolder = request.getParameter("originalFolder");
    Store store = (Store)session.getAttribute("store");
    Folder sourceF = store.getFolder(srcFolder);
    sourceF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    if(!(destFolder.equals("null")))
    String[] msgs = request.getParameterValues("list");
    System.out.println(msgs.length);
    Folder destinationF = store.getFolder(destFolder);
    destinationF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    if(msgs != null)
    for(int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
         int msgNbr = Integer.parseInt((String)msgs);
         int[] msg_id = {msgNbr+1};
         Message[] msg = sourceF.getMessages(msg_id);
         sourceF.copyMessages(msg,destinationF);
         sourceF.setFlags(msg, new Flags(Flags.Flag.DELETED), true);
         sourceF.expunge();
         destinationF.expunge();
    session.setAttribute("mails", sourceF);
    try
    response.sendRedirect("../Inbox.jsp");
    catch(IOException ex)
    ex.printStackTrace();
    This is how i am trying to do it... Please help me i really need this urgently. Kindly help me ASAP.
    Help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
    To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
    That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

    Hi @saharhamdastpour -
    I'm Dan from Viber.
    Unfortunately Viber does not officially support Mac OS 10.6.8 - Viber is compatible with Mac versions 10.7 and above.
    Note that you can find the list of supported platforms and OS versions here: http://helpme.viber.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/472/0/supported-platforms
    If it is your wish, upgrading your Mac OS version should solve the problem and allow you to install and enjoy Viber.
    Thanks,

  • Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

    Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

    Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
    If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash
