Why are my emails not visible in Mac Mail?

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Running 10.10 Yosemite.  Have not had trouble until this morning. Was working in mail and suddenly  I could no longer see any emails.
I closed out of mail & opened it again, that did not help. Turned off the computer. No luck. It still shows that I have emails and I can even send
& receive emails. I just can not see them.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why are my weblinks not live in Mac Mail?

    I have just switched from using Safari as my default browser in Mac OSX 10.7.3. to FireFox 4.0.1 because both version 10.0 and the beta 11.0 would not allow the plug-in for multiple tool-bars which you can have in 4.0.1.
    Now I am finding that when I want to attach a link of a website to an email in Mac Mail the link is dead and cannot be used to go straight to the website. In Safari I could do this.
    Is this a bug or does it require another plug-in or fix? I do a lot of attachments that require links and they need to be live for ease. This could force me back to Safari if I cant get it sorted.
    Does anyone have or has had the same problem and how did they solve this?

    What plugin is it that you are trying to use in firefox that won't work with Firefox 11? Using firefox 4 is no longer supported and opens you to major security issues.
    If you'd like to let me know what problems you are having with 11, I'd b happy to help you.
    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

    I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
    When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
    "The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    It shows the server as (offline)
    I've tried erasing and typing in the password.  I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
    I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

    email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
    Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

  • Why are security headers not visible when viewing "sent" mail for mail sent with S/MIME certificates?

    I am using an S/MIME certificate to sign my emails using Mail on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I have a trusted S/MIME certificate for each of my email accounts.  The certs and private keys are properly installed in the keychain.  I am able to successfully send signed (and optionality encrypted) email and the recipients are all all receiving the emails showing a trusted signed email without having to acknowledge or trust the signature.  So technically the certificates are working.  Obviously the encryption option is only offered when I also have the recipients certficate in my keychain.
    What I am noticing is that when I look in my sent items - (regardless of which email I used as the "sender") - I don't see any indication in the mail headers that the mail was sent with a signed certificate - even though I know the recipient is seeing that the mail is signed with a cert.  I have no way of telling whether I sent the mail as "signed" or "unsiged".  The default is to use the certificate for all outbound emails - unless I specifically uncheck the secure signing option before sending.  In mail that I recieve - sent from others with certs or sent from one of my email accounts to the other - I see the the certificate indication in the email header.
    On rare occasion - I do see the certificate when viewing sent mail - but only for  random sent mails - and so far I believe I have only seen the certificate show up in mail that is sent from my iCloud account.  I can send subsequent mail from iCloud - and still not see the certificate in the sent items.
    Why am I not seeing the Security Header showing the certificate when viewing mail that I have sent in my sent items folder?  Is there some setting that I am not seeing that controls this - or is this a bug in Mac Mail?  Also why does the security header show up for just a handful of sent emails - when hundreds of signed emails have been successfully sent.
    Any help would be appreciated.  The behavior is the same on my other Macs - at least the ones on which the certificates are also installed.
    Also - I don't have my certs installed on my iPhone yet - so I can't tell on the iPhone if the certs are showing up in the sent folder - but I can see the certs on mail that I send to myself from the Mac but receive on the iPhone.
    ~Scott

    I stopped using the S/MIME certs and stopped signing my emails.  Too many recipients were receiving them as "attachements" especially if the recipients email account was on an Exchange server.  My certs have since expired and I have not done anything to further analyze the situation.  My original post was over a year ago and I have long since been on Mavericks.
    To: iddontknowwhoiamsowhat ... I am not totally following your response.  You say you are seeing the exact same issue - yet you are also saying you can look at the sent mails from os x and ios - does this mean that you see the security badges on the sent emails in both os x and ios?  I assume you are on Mavericks?

  • Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

    What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share.  Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when  I connect my iPad2.   I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes. 
    PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

    This is not a reply but an addition.  While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
    I went through this promising procedure but it did not help.  Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

  • Why are my emails not showing up on iPhone5? Emails are on the servers and show up in Mail on both Macs.

    I added VIP yesterday. Mail was syncing fine at first but now iPhone isn't displaying certain emails. If I search for them by selecting continue on server, they show up; however, once I close the search I can't see the emails in my inbox, VIP, Gmail, Yahoo, etc on my iPhone5. The emails are in the accounts if I login to the accounts on the web and they appear in Mail on my 2 MacBooks. Already did a restore from iCloud and same problem.

    Nevermind. Somehow mail settings on iPhone was on or went back to show 50 recent. Increased to 100 and everything shows up again. Not sure why 'show 50 recent' displays older messages, i.e. email a month old vs. email from yesterday, but whatever it works fine now.

  • Why are some emails not displaying remote images

    There have been a few threads on similar subjects but I haven't found a solution, or even a reason for the problem I'm seeing.
    I've the display remote images option to "on" and in most of my emails images are shown. But for all the messages from one domain no images are ever displayed. The URLs are valid because the images show on my iMac in Thunderbird. On my iPhone I get a placeholder (box) with either a question mark or the "alt" text for the image.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing the problem?

    Sent messages moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server used to send the messages with the account but is no guarantee the message will be accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server.
    The recipient's incoming mail server may be incorrectly flagging messages sent by this SMTP server as junk (messages sent via webmail access for the account does not use an SMTP server) and with the large amount of spam being circulated, a return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server is no longer always provided if the message was not accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server or when flagged as junk by the incoming mail server.
    This is not a problem with the Mail application. The recipients reporting this problem need to check with the email account provider for their account.

  • Why are my emails only visible for @ six weeks then they disappear?

    Since I installed Lion on my IMAC I have noticed something strange with Mail - all of my emails only appear for about a period of six weeks and then they disappear. Currently I have no emails before 25 February.... I cannot see any setting that specifies this to happens - how can I restore so I see all emails?
    Many thanks, Gary

    They look different because the screens for POP3 and IMAP accounts are different. As I said in my first response, you didn't provide any information about the type of email that you were using in your original post.
    POP3:

    Not providing enough information with your questions generally results in a waste of time for both the questioner and the responder, since one can only guess the details of the situation.

  • Why are my emails not coming through automatically

    My emails are set up to push through 'hourly'  but they aren't coming through.  It works for a while then they suddenly stop coming through and I have to push them manually.  Any ideas?

    You're  using the term "push" incorrectly when you appear to mean "fetch."
    Push means the mail is automatically "pushed" to your device as soon as it arrives to the mail server, not on any time schedual.  Which are you using, push or fetch?  Which mail service?

  • I just purchased an I pad mini and when I send an email a get the message  "a copy has been placed in the outbox.  Recipient was rejected by the Server.  I do not know what that means.  Who is the server.  Why are the emails not sent?

    I just purchased the new I pad mini Retina display 16 GB and have AT&T Lite.
    I cannot send emails.  I do receive them.
    The message is "copy placed in outbox.  Recipient rejected by the server".
    Who is the server?

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
