Where is "All Mail" in Mac Mail?

I have an email that arrived this morning at 8:08. I have 6 email accounts setup in Mail. Under Inbox, I see each of those accounts and their related mail. I usually click Inbox and keep it there so I can see mail coming into any account. The 8:08 email does not display under the general Inbox of emails. I do a search for a term used in that email's subject and see it. In the upper right, it is listed under "All Mail". I click "All Mail" from the upper right and it appears to be under the general Inbox (but nothing is highlighted in the left pane at this point). But once I click the general Inbox, it is not there.
Does anyone know what is going on with this email and why I cannot see it under the general Inbox?

Figured this out. The email was in the Junk folder.

Where are all Mail Pref files ?

Hello,
my hd crash last week, i bought e new one and install a new OS.
Today my apple reseller succeded in recovering all my files of my old disk.
Now i would like to copy all Mail Pref files into the right place so i can recover my Mail like one week ago. I know that somes of the files are in Users>Me>Library>Mail but it's not enought my accounts are not set up !
I've also .emlx files in .mbox folders that i want to add to my Mail software, but i didn't succeed
Somebody can guide me in the dark area of Mail
Thx a lot

Hello Anterak.
The other participants have already answered the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist part.
I've also .emlx files in .mbox folders that i want
to add to my Mail software, but i didn't succeed
Could you please be more precise about this? You should be able to import these into Mail by doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X, and following the instructions. Note that Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the *.mbox folders, rather than the *.mbox folders themselves.

Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic. When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also. If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO. This was never before say one or two months before.
The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.
Regards
Venkat

I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD". Now the Trash is empty. I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail?

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail 5.2 on OS 10.7.3?

I used colon parentheses with the smiley emoticon which is the normal code for a smiley. It works on this forum. I used to type these in all the time on Eudora so I'm familiar with the different combinations.
I added a space after it in the system preferences/language popup and sent myself another letter with it included and it still doesn't work in Mac mail (I added a space before and after it in MacMail). but it does work in TextEdit now.
Yes, "use symbol and text substution" is clicked.
The checkbox is ticked in the replace box; in the next box is the colon/parentheses with a space, and then the smiley in the next box.
Thanks for trying to help.

HT204093 Where is my mail folder on my mac

Okay I hope to make sense here....
I had all my mail in the icloud. I then created a folder on my mac for mail older than 6 months. Then mail that was older than 6 months in cloud I moved to my mac.
In mail I had renamed the older than 6 month folder. I still see my old mail in mail. I can't find the corresponding folder on mac, or when I do it really is odd size. Mail in folder on mac is housing 10 years worth of email and coming in at 300MB when I think it would be way bigger, like 1 TB.
I created a new folder in mail, but I can't find the coorseponding folder in documents---> mail folder.
Where is the mail folder on the mac? Where does it naturally default too?
Thanks,
Andy

Thank you of the quick reply and I kind of now have more info.
Since posting my question I "exported" the mailbox and voila, 2.6GB of info. So I think I have some solution.
"Are you desiring to Archive mail older than six months and remove that from Mail?" Not from Mail, but the iCloud, but when I did remove from icloud, I want to make another back up, even though I have time machine. I want to basically burn a DVD or put old email on other storage media.
"With a better understanding of your goal -- I can help you to a solution." Okay great, appreciate it! I hope I made/make sense.
"If you haven't done a Rebuild lately, I'd highly recommend you start there:" Ummm I've never rebuild.... so I also wanted to back up the data before I rebuild I think, right? I have no other copy, these emails were removed from the iCloud, and put in a mail folder on my mac (which I can't find the mailbox (mbox) on the mac, user name--->documents---> mail folder---> there is no corresponding mbox that I just created, this folder/get info says circa 2012), so the mail on my mac is not copied from iCloud. Technically I do have the time machine backup.... but you never know if that gets corrupted.
So my thought prior to rebuild is to export, as a back up, then rebuild? As to mailbox naming, since I have no idea where the corresponding folders are on my mac, exporting first, might be best option. If I rebuild, will that break or possibly lose data?
Thoughts?
Andy

Move all Mail emails from one Mac to another

Move all Mail emails from one Mac to another (both Mountain Lion)
Is it correct to copy (/replace) the following to the target Mac?
~/Library/Mail/
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
and everything beginning with
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist...
Many thanks!

Yes, Imap systems store all mail on the server, all connected clients are synchronized to the server (the mail itself stays on the server)
... regarding the POP accounts. Do you simply want the contents are or you planning on continued use of these accounts on the new machine?
Continued use.
Export each mailbox from the old machine to the desktop, to do so select a mailbox, rght click and choose Export, repeat for all others. Move the mailboxes to the new machine'sdesktop.
I suggest setting up the new accounts before importing the mail from the old machine.
In mail choose File>Import Mailboxes, choose the ones on the desktop (one at a time) a new mailbox will appear in Mail called Imported, you can move mail from there back to the correct mailbox in the POP accounts.

How do I get my ALL MAIL gmail folder back in Mac Mail after upgrading to Mavericks?

Hi
I've upgraded to Mavericks - very cool !........ but my Mac Mail gmail ALL MAIL folder seems to have vanished in my Mac Mail listings.
Any advice how to get it back?
N)

It seems its all in the new ARCHIVE folder which shows up now.......but dont delete mails in the inbox as that really deletes them and they go to TRASH. So you have to manually MOVE TO ARCHIVE to ensure it finds itself in ALL MAIL on the gmail server. Hope that helps?

Where's the conversation in mac mail?

Where's the conversation in mac mail? Like in Gmail. Mac Mail in conversation mode only shows one side of the 'conversation'. You have to go to the sent folder to the see the other side. Anyone know of way to change the view? Sparrow mail even has both sides of the conversation in the in box. Surprised mail is lacking this.

Go to Preferences > Viewing and check "Include Related Messages". Mail randomly turned this off for me recently and I had to find it and turn back on.

Upgraded Hard Drive, now all "on my mac" mail is gone

Yesterday I installed a new hard drive in my macbook. Used my Time Machine backup to restore the new drive. Everything seems to work fine.
When searching for some email today, though, I noticed that all of the (many) emails in the "on my mac" section of Mail is gone.
I think the messages are still in my home/library/mail/mailboxes, but how do I get Mail to recognize them?

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
This is probably an index problem. Let's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index since you say it is spread across all On My Mac mailboxes. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP account on the server.
Keep me posted.

Gmail set up in Mac Mail gives me 3 of all mails?

I was having problems with duplicate mails in Mac Mail and on my iPhone etc as is widely reported as a bug elsewhere, so I followed advice and switched to GoogleMail and IMAP.
I've set up my iPhone and Mac Mail to use the IMAP GoogleMail account instead - and for the main inbox view at the top of my mailboxes view in Mail I have exactly what I want (and no duplicates).
But I also have (further down the hierarchy view on the left side of mail) another set of folders with the name I've given my GMail account (Personal Mail) and within that group of folders I have a mailbox I cannot delete called [Google Mail] this has an All Mail folder and there is also another folder with the name of my mail account. Both of these appear to independently maintain copies of my inbox mail.
It semes that in addition to the IMAP account that I've set up myself, somehow Mac Mail is also maintaining a view of GoogleMail in parallel.
Can anyone shed light on this? I want one copy of mail but now have 2 or possibly 3!

it certainly is possible to do that.
the exact details depend on how your POP is set up. do you keep the messages on server after you download them? If yes, you don't have to do anything special. just create an IMAP account and you are set.
If you don't keep messages on server after POP downloads then I would do the following.
1. change the behavior of your POP to NOT delete messages from server upon downloads.
2. set up IMAP and let it sync.
It will be lacking old messages from your POP mailbox as they are not on the server. to change that you can copy all the messages from your POP inbox to your IMAP inbox. Just select them all in the POP inbox, right-click and use "copy to" menu.
WARNING: if you do this, IMAP will sync up and put all those messages back on the server from your computer's mailbox. This can take a VERY long time if your inbox is big. Therefore, it's up to you if you really want to do this.
After everything is working correctly you can delete the POP account if you wish.

My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac. I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac. When I try to delete them, they keep coming back. They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac. I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them. When I do, they just come back. Frustrated ...

This is a Gmail issue.
It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this. When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac. However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
There are 2 solutions to this:
1) If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP. You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
2) From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails. Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
This is not something Apple can address. It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

Even after the Mavericks Mac Mail update and showing my "All Mail" folder, Mail.app is still acting weird and slow. Any further suggestions?

Even with the recent Mac Mail Mavericks update and showing my "All Mail" Gmail folder, Mail.app is still acting funky and slow. Any further suggestions for getting Mail.app back to it's pre-Mavericks state?

Your description of the problem is rather vague, but I'll take a guess at what you mean.
Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/C*.db vacuum; sqlite3 L*/M*/*/*/E*ex vacuum
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
You should see a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) appear below what you entered. If not, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.
Note: This procedure will have no effect unless you quit Mail when you begin.
