Where is all my mail???

I receive about 25 important e-mails a day for my business. The most important thing I need to do is be able to refer to all of them easily at some point. My Mail takes messages out of my inbox every day--WHERE DO THEY ALL GO? If I can't do a simple task like track an e-mail from last week, then Mail is useless to me.
Any ideas? I hope this is a simple one...

You will find it in /Home/Library/Mail/. Preference file is /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Alternatively, you can simply export to .mbox format or use Mail's archiving function.

IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

Hello,
I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox. All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud. I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
- Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
- Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again. It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again. This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders. Here are my two questions:
- How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
- Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Where do i find mail files on hard drive that has been removed? Mac OSX 10.8

I can not find the files where most posts direct me to look - there is no "LIBRARY/MAIL
When I go to Library, there is no mail folder....?
The HDrive used to be an internal drive, and now is connected via USB, as an external drive connected via SATA cable. I want to find some of my old 'sent mail' items and all the mail files in general.
Files in general are accessible on the drive, but I am not booting off the drive, nor am I able to. thanks - JP

Where are all of my photo albums?

I just updated my computer & found that Iphoto is now gone & that Photos has replaced it. Where are all of my photo albums that I spent so much time organizing in Iphoto now? I can't find them anywhere in Photos. It's a very badly, designed system!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I have a time capsule doing automatic backups on my iMac. I would not know which date to restore from as I just happened to notice the missing mail when I went to look for one of the old messages.
I tried your suggestion of checking the Mail/V2 files in finder, but it did not work. There are messages there, but they too only go back a year.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Where has my incoming mail gone ?

Comments : I wanted to delete an address from my address-book. On the address-card I marked the to-delete-name and clicked "delete" - it didn't work - I couldn't delete the address;
I went in my menu to "Postbus" (mailbox) while my address-card was still on my desk-top.
I clicked "verwijder" (delete). I still have the address that I wanted to remove but I lost all my mail at once. My Mailbox is empty and I can also no longer retrieve new mail. I can send mails out though, but I can not retrieve new mail although I can see that I do have several messages waiting to be picked up. I checked my accounts and everything is still there. I re-entered codes and passwords but nothing seems to work when I hit the get-mail-button. What shall I do now ?
Sincerely

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Where is Tiger junk mail filter pref file located?

I apologize for the redundant post...I posted this in the Tiger/Mail forum but haven't gotten a reply.
I had to reinstall Mail from scratch after I upgraded to Leopard.
Can anyone tell me where the 10.4 junk mail filter pref file is located so I can try and drag it over to my Leopard install and save me the time of physically replicate the filer file.

There is no preference file but the file that stores all Junk Mail "learned" settings is the LSMMap2 file located at Home > Library > Mail > LSMMap2.

After Leopard Grahpics update-All my Mail accounts are gone

Oh man,did the software update as offered.Now,Mail launches,only has some .mac account on it(didn't before,Both my main mail boxes have dissapeared!,They are not in my Library/mail folder and even worse Time machine doesnt seem to have them either!!. Any ideas? Anyone seen this before.thanks

not insulted at all.I can hardly believe it myself.Yeah initially I checked in user/library/mail on the system drive,both my accounts were litterally gone.So I went into Time machine and it seemed to freeze,got out of that and went into the time machine disk itself and in all those user/library/mail,both accounts missing.Here's the stranger bit.I remade my accounts in Mail,and after they were added and made active all my old mail messages were suddenly in the inbox BUT when I click on one of those messages I get a blank email..no text.. just the subject only .This was the same for both accounts.So .it leaves me wondering where those headers are stored as the full messages are now gone.and how the accounts got deleted where before installing the graphics update and the ilife update I think it was,all my mail was just fine.thanks

Help! Where has all my storage gone? iPhone 4

Hi,
Ive recently had a replacement Iphone for the one that I had lost. My old phone had over 900 songs on it and about 70 apps and i still had around a gb free. Since ive had my new phone ive backed it up from Icloud and lost a lot of space. I only have 279 songs on it and 53 apps and i have no space left. Im confused. I have an 8gb Iphone 4 which runs version 5.1.1. Where has all my storage gone and how do i get it back.

You should have 13 GB available after the iOS and the Apple Apps ...The rest is yours to fill. If you connect to iTunes you will see a graphical representation of how your iPhone's storage is currently consumed. Also you could Reset the phone and check the available space again. Hold Sleep / Wake button down and the Home key at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release the buttons and wait until the Reset brings you back to the lock-screen.

Can´t recover all my mails from Time Machine

Hi!
When I upgraded to Yosemite I did a backup with Time Machine before. After the upgrade I had some issues with my mail accounts. I already figured it out but trying different things I erased a pop account. When I added again, I lost most of my mails from that account. I talked to the server´s owners and they told me that the account is pop so the server doesn´t have a backup of my mails.
I have a backup with Time Machine, but it does´t let me recover mails from before the day I erased and added the account again, so when I recover mails I only recover a 10% of them.
Does anyone know how can I recover all my mails? I assume that they must be on the backup, right?
Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try restoring the library as a whole, keeping both copies. Then open the restored version with iPhoto. That will have all your albums, keywords, titles, slideshows, etc. that existed at the time of the TM backup.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Where is my incoming mail?

Send mail and all filed mail are on my Library -> Mail folder, what Apple Mail calls "On My Mac." The inbox isn't there. Where is my locally-downloaded inbox? I really don't want to be subject to the mail server's automatic deletion rules.

I have a second user account on my iMac at work for personal use. I have the same e-mail accounts set up as I do at home (G4). Same OS: 10.3.9. Same exact Mail version: 1.3.11(v622/624).
The work iMac has all my incoming and sent mail since the day I set it up back in Feb.
I don't know if this means anything, but there are differences in the advanced preferences on the G4.
*the BLUE is the iMac; the GREY is the G4*

Forgetting about recovering that old mail, is there a way to keep this from happening? It looks like after 30 days or so, everything gets cleared, and I have never touched any settings.
Why would mail that I have read (and should be saved locally in my library) be disappearing?

Where can I configure mail quotas in Lion Server?

One (minor) problem for me, after upgrading from SnowLeopard Server to Lion Server is the fact, that I can't figure out where to administer the mail quotas. So far I have just managed to find the "Server Admin". Here, under Mail -> Maintenance I can see the quotas and under Mail->Settings->Quotas I can enable quota warnings and edit them. But I can't find a place to configure individual quotas. The quota settings from SnowLeopard server have been migrated and are still in place. But how should I change them. It used to be in WorkgroupManager. But in WorkgroupManager this item is gone.
Many thanks for your replies.

Followng up a bit,
In looking into OD records on my Snow Leopard Server via the Inspector in WGM, I see the following attribute for one of my users for whom I've set a 1024mb mail quota.
Name:
MailAttriute
Value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dict>
          <key>kAPOPRequired</key>
          <string>APOPNotRequired</string>
          <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kAttributeVersion</key>
          <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>
          <key>kAutoForwardValue</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kIMAPLoginState</key>
          <string>IMAPAllowed</string>
          <key>kMailAccountLocation</key>
          <string>[redacted].[redacted].org</string>
          <key>kMailAccountState</key>
          <string>Enabled</string>
          <key>kPOP3LoginState</key>
          <string>POP3Allowed</string>
          <key>kUserDiskQuota</key>
          <string>1024</string>
</dict>
I'm wondering if manually entering this attribute, and an XML value with at least the kUserDiskQuota key included will be all I need to do to implement per-user quotas in Lion Server.
If I get time, I will test and report back.

Mail not downloading all e-mails from hotmail

Hi,
I have a MacBook pro 15inch running latest updates on OSx lion. I am having a real problem with mail application and my hotmail account. I have setup the hotmail account in mail and it downloads any new mails I receive but it does not sync any of the sent mails.
I also have an iPad which I use to send and receive emails and every time I reply someone using the iPad, there is no record of it on my mac if I replied to that person or not. Whereas if I reply to anyone using the mac, iPad shows all sent mails in sent folder.
Another problem I had (which is not currently main issue) is that occasionally it asked to put your password in for iCloud and hotmail account even if i check save to keychain.
Is there any way I can get my mac to sync all folders from my hotmail to mac? iPad does it with no problem..
Thanks in advance:)

I'm having the same issue and have tried deleting the account and adding again but I only have emails that came in yesterday after Mavericks installed. My thousands of emails from the server did not load. They are everywhere else but on the updated Mavericks computer.

Where is all my mail???
