Where are my iCloud Mails ?

I have updated to iOS5 yesterday, I have also setup iCloud on my iPhone where I had to create a @me.com email adress.
Since I had setup my iPhone as a new device I had to reenter all my passwords and stuff - so I have setu my "normal" mail account aswell.
Now, when I open the Mail App, I just have my "normal" mail account there - no sight of the @me.com mails. In the settings the "push" service is enabled, but when I send a test mail there is no notification.
when I login to icloud.com on another pc, I can read all mails without a problem.

In iCloud on the website or in Mail, on your Mac?

It happens when mail is deleted, I have not met another method.
Do you not have a backup?

Where are previous icloud settings? - I just updated to 10.8.5

Where did my iCloud settings go with the update to 10.5.8? Signed on to locate my iPad and my iCloud settings to find my stuff are gone!

Try resetting them in System Preferences/iCloud.

Where are my old mail folders

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and though the mail program says that my old folders are in Library:Mail, when I go to the Library, there isn't any Mail folder at all. Help!

Which Library folder are you looking in? There are three of them, and what you're looking for is in Home/Library.
If Mail works, then the folder is definitely where it should be.

Where are the e-mail settings?

Hi, I have an E72, I have set up a POP3 e-mail server and I can receive e-mails with no problem, but I cannot send any! Now, I know how to solve the problem, I simply have to change the outgoing port number to the new one given by my e-mail provider, but I CANNOT FIND WHERE ARE THE OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS!
The E-mail -> Settings -> Mailbox name -> Mailbox settings tab only has one server setting in it, and it says "Server name". There are no separate settings for Incoming and Outgoing servers! Where can I change them? In the Advanced mailbox settings there is only one setting - for the port number, but again not a thing about which are my ingoing and outgoing servers.
Pls help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks albyzas, thanks thetao.
I have the last version (3.21 I think) and I know where the in/out settings should be located, but here is no such thing under the "Advanced Mailbox Settings"! The only settings I have are the port number and the secure connection on/off. I have this problem since I bought the E72. Previously, I had E71 and it had the in/out settings there!
BTW the provider I use is listed automatically for my country, just below Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo (I don't have to click "Other")
So I have some questions:
2) Delete and remake the mailbox. Don't use Nokia Messaging (their push service) by Declining the terms of service. Maybe that provides more control?
If I decline them, what client will I be using then?
3) Can you remove the email client? I hesitate suggesting that because some people have reported being unable to reinstall...but you can try if you feel daring.
If I remove it, how can I reinstall it later?
4) Do you recall when the problem started? If it happened after a firmware update, a hard reset ( *#7370# , default password 12345) will sometimes fix weird issues that occur after installing new firmware. Be sure to make a backup first.
The Problem started when my e-mail provider decided to change the numbers of their ports several months ago...

Where are my iCloud contacts stored on my computer?

I'd like to transfer all of my contacts from my Microsoft Outlook to my Google account! Somehow, I had linked all my contacts in Outlook to iCloud. Now I can no longer sync my contacts from OUtlook to my Google account and Android phone! This is a mess! Please help!

You can download your contacts as a combo vCard from icloud.com, then import that to Google contacts. From http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910:
iCloud.com Contacts
Go to iCloud Contacts at icloud.com/contacts, and sign in using your iCloud Apple ID and password.
Verify you are viewing All Contacts by looking at the top-left of the Contacts address book style interface. You should see All Contacts.
If you are not viewing All Contacts, click the groups ribbon to load the Groups interface.
Then, click All Contacts in the Group interface to load All Contacts.
Click the groups ribbon again to return to the standard Contacts interface.
Click the Action (gear) menu, and select Select All. Every Contact should be highlighted after doing this.
Click the Action (gear) menu, and select Export vCard.
A combo vCard will be created and begin downloading.
Safari on OS X will automatically download the combo vCard to your Downloads folder (~/Downloads).
Other web browsers, and Safari on Windows, will prompt you about where you wish to save the combo vCard. Choose a location, and save the combo vCard.
Note: If you make extensive use of Groups, you should also consider backing up your entire Address Book Database by creating an Address Book Backup (ABBU) file via the OS X Address Book application. You can find instructions for this in the OS X Lion section below. The standard vCard method of backing up, which creates a bulk vCard as described above, will not back up Groups. However, it does allow easy back up and recovery of Contacts. Address Book Archives are more complex, and in some cases, may not properly restore data for iCloud members while connected to the Internet. If you use Groups, you should create both types of backups. If you don't use Groups beyond the default All Contacts group, then vCards are the best method of backup.

Where are the e-mails?

I reinstalled mail today, put the old mail folder back in the library from the user library folder.
Now mail says it has 2 or more messages, except I don't see them...
I am getting pretty desperate here... Where did my mail go?
You would think that if you keep your library mail folder and insert it in the same space again after reinstalling, that everything will be there.
Rules, spam, signatures, it is all gone...
I am pretty sure that I put the correct folder back, it also does not help to rebuild the mailboxes...
Any insight????

Catherine,
You have evidence of leftover files from when operating in Panther and Mail 1.3 -- specifically, all but Info.plist and the Messages folder are no longer needed, and if you check the dates the others were last modified, you find that it will prior to the upgrade to Tiger. These can be very problematic in ways not easy to describe. There are number of topics about the issue of leftover files. I want you to read the article at the link below, and perhaps get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
Also, please examine the size of each file or folder. It is very important to compare the size of the file named "mbox" with that of the Messages folder. If the mbox is greater in size than the Messages folder, then not all messages have been converted to be in the Messages folder. If Messages is larger, then probably all were converted -- if none are know to be missing from before the upgrade to Tiger, then simply remove all leftover files.
The path to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder.
In a pre-conversion to Tiger mailbox, the only file that really mattered, in regard to message content, was the file "mbox". In a mailbox properly created and established in Tiger, the only thing that really matters is the folder named Messages.
Once all leftover files have been removed (done while Mail is NOT running, btw), then at the first level of the Mail folder, find the file named Envelope Index -- delete it, and relaunch Mail. Mail will say it is ready to import all your mailboxes-- allow this to continue, and it will only be re-indexing all the mailboxes, and all the messages should once again be accessible.
If you think missing, pre-Tiger are missing, then they might be in the mbox files, and the lengthy topic at the link below, may also be of assistance:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
Let me know any questions, or discomfort you have.

Help- where are my iCloud pictures?

hi I'm about to cry. I had moved over 3000 pictures to my iCloud abd then deleted them off my phone to free up memory. Now as I look at my storage it says only 600 pictures are in my cloud. I fear that this is because it's in backup mode. How do I see/find these pictures? I can't even figure out where to view them.
I will be so devastated if I've lost this past year of life. Thank you

You can't see your photos in icloud.com.

Where are Thunderbird e-mail files stored on my computer?

I have read the suggested articles and followed the instructions as best I can, but I still cannot figure out how to get to profile (the path revealed in "Troubleshooting Information," by clicking "show folder," was not what I found on my computer---one element in the supposed path, "AppData," simply was not there in the tree) unless I somehow missed a hidden clue. Furthermore, even if I manage to get to profile, I still don't comprehend how to move my e-mail files from there to a location on my computer that is easy to get to and to back up along with all my other data files.
Perhaps my level of knowledge is too modest here because the assumption is that I know more than I actually do know. If that is the case, I apologize, but that does not resolve the issue. I wonder why the folders containing e-mails are not placed in an obvious and handy location to begin with, but that of course is a different matter.
But right now, all I want to do is to (1) get to profile, (2) understand how to back up the actual profile (or profiles, if I ever have more than one, which I don't quite understand, either), and (3) comprehend how to separate out and move the e-mail files/folders located there to an easily accessible and obvious (to me) location. I would greatly appreciate some basic-level instruction on this.
(I might mention that because it did not meet my needs generally, and also because it was most inconveniently down periodically, otherwise difficult to use far too frequently, and administered with shockingly scant attention to customer satisfaction despite its full-bore commercial nature, I abandoned AT&T/Yahoo web mail for a computer-resident POP client. I chose Thunderbird on the recommendation of a knowledgeable friend. I had used Outlook with relatively good success quite some time ago but have a fundamental aversion to patronizing Microsoft when I do not absolutely have to do so. That is why I am trying with much energy to get Thunderbird to work for me with some reasonable degree of convenience and functionality.)
Thank you.

''re: A folder-copy isn't easy to read,''
Only if you need to read a specific email as emails are not stored in separate .eml files. They are stored in mbox files which look like a long text document containing emails written one after the other in the order downloaded. But for backing up and reinstalling a Profle which contains all your data, it is stored exactly as required for reinstalling. It also stores all your preferences and account details and so on - eg: address books.
''re: if its not compressed it also includes all deleted files.''
What gnospen actually means is 'compacted' not compressed. They are two entirely different things which should not be confused. You can easily empty the Deleted and Junk folders and then compact all your folders before backing up. This resolves this if it is of a concern to you.
As gnospen says, ImportExportTools is an excellent tool for backing up emails - not your Profile, not your account settings and preferences and not your address books.
You can choose to use to store emails as separate .eml files or HTML or plain text format or as a single text file or pdf format or export the entire folder in mbox format with or with subfolders.
If you want to use ImportExportTools, Thunderbird needs to running, I would advise you go into Offline mode whilst backing up as you do not want your folders synchronising whilst performing this task.
Here is a link to ImportExporttools addon:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
I suppose what you need to determine is what do you want to backup.
I would advise, if you want all your prefernces, account settings, address books and emails saved in one go, then copy the Profile to create a backup or use MozBackup tool.
If you only want to backup emails then use ImportExportTools addon tool.
If not backing up your entire profile, but you do want to keep a backup of address books then you can go to Address Book and select the address book, then Tools > Export as either LDIF or comma separated .csv file.
Note: comma separated .csv files can be opened by other programs such as Excel and can also be easily imported into any email client or back into Thunderbird.

What are the iCloud mail servers?

i just switched from the mac mail to microsoft office outlook. its much easier but i cant seem to get my icloud email set up. i dont know if i am getting the server names wrong or what. i have tried several different servers, but everyone gives me an error message saying something different every time. i just want to be able to view all of my email together on outlook if anyone can help.
Thanks

Hello..I googled your error message and found this exchange:
n the end, simply changing the iCloud password did the trick.
I kept getting authentication errors for my .mac iCloud account in Oulook 2011 on my iMac i7 for the past few weeks (since late November 2011). However, Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Air worked perfectly, even though all the Outlook settings were exactly the same on both computers. I tried all the settings in this discussion group and many others, including Apple's official settings (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864). I even called Microsoft Support, and they said I had to call Apple, since they were the source of the problem. What worked for me was simply changing my password for iCloud. My password was iCloud compliant to begin with, but changing it allowed Outlook 2011 to work with my iCloud account on my iMac. I saw this suggestion from someone who said his iCloud password was not compliant with Apple's requirements. Hopefully this will help others still experiencing problems with their iCloud accounts and Outlook 2011.

Where are my Icloud Photos ??

I had 5 gb worth of photos on icloud but never synced to my PC. Now my phone is broken and all those pics are on the Cloud but even after downloading the icloud app to windows I cannot access the photos. Is there any way I can get those pics as the phone is beyond repairing.
Thanks in advance,

No, but if they were in the camera roll on your phone when it was last backed up, restoring the backup to a repaired or replacement phone should recover them. If your backup is in iCloud, be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you can't wait longer than that to restore the backup.

Where are my iCloud photos going, and where can I see them?

I recently upgraded my PC to one that can use iCloud, and I want to sync all of my photos. I wirry that I am losing photos, and I don't know how to view them in the cloud.

When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream. However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

Where are my iCloud keychain passwords?

I've got a slight problem with iCloud keychain I'm hoping someone can assist with.
I recently filled out an online form to download some backup software. iCloud keychain generated an auto-password for me on the web form and all was good.
However, I then needed to sign into my account on the backup software app. Haven't got a clue what that iCloud keychain password was and am not too sure where to look next.
THANKS

Where are the sent mails - sync with IMAP

I am wondering, where my BB Z10 transfer my sent emails. I not see them in a folder like sent, wich I sync from my IMAP server.
Doe's somebody have any suggestion or tip, how I can change this?
Kindly Simon

it works on my GMail.
what is the language of your IMAP server ?
what is the exact name of your "sent items folder" when using the webmail ?
what is the name of the same folder on your Z10 ?
chances are, the two folders have a different name.
please make sure that you have configured your Z10 to synchronize emails from all servers.

Where are my "old" mails?

I had to re-configure our OpenDirectory Server; so all users in the LDAP Database have been deleted. (of course)
(I deleted the OpenDirectory Master and set up the OD Master again)
OK - I re-created all users and configured them like in the settings before - no problem!
But all emails of each user got deleted as well. (IMAP)
My question:
Does the mails still exist on the server (somewhere e.g. in /var/spool/...), or are they really deleted permanently?
Thanks in advance - Chris

I've found a solution:
NOTE: Before you perform the following steps, you must be logged in as the root user!
All mails of the Mail-Server are stored in the directory /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail
The only problem is, that the name of the folders inside this directory contains only numbers and letters.
(e.g. 7C493120-D5S3-2A48-391-8G6B7E91F601)
So the only challenge is, that you find the correct folder, which contains the mails of the desired user.
As a little trick, you can open each folder and take a look into the cur directory.
This directory contains one file for each mail. Again, these filenames contains only numbers and letters.
When you open such a file, you can see the header and contents of each mail.
So it's easier to identify which folder belongs to which user!
That's it!
