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

Dear Lanny, thanks for info - most of my email a/c ate with BT yahoo (says IMAP) on listing.... the snapshot of accounts / advanced is different but looks fine to me. It is different to what you listed but it does say 'keep copies of messages for offline viewing' .....
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:
IMAP:
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.

  • I'm using firefox 3.6.4 dutch. On some sites telephone numbers are just visible during 1 second, then they disappear. When refresing they are again visible during 1 second.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello,
    the issue of phone numbers disappearing can be fixed by disabling the Skype add-on:
    #Go to Tools > Add-ons .
    #Find the Skype add-on in the list.
    #Click the Disable or the Uninstall button.
    #Restart Firefox.

  • Why are some emails only found in 'search', they do not exist in any of my folders?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1030552 /questions/1030552]''
    Emails like bills for my phone and electricity only exist if I do a search for them. They are not in any of my folders. My Junk folder was not previously visible but now is but is empty. Maybe future junk will go there but I still want to know where all the other emails are stored. Where is this limbo folder with emails that can only be found when searching?

    Are you talking about a Pop or IMAP mail account?
    If IMAP and you are viewing the remote Junk Folder, does this folder get emptied by the server periodically?
    Do you have settings in Thunderbird to auto delete Junk after x days?
    check here:
    Tools > Account Settings > Junk Settings for the mail account
    at the bottom - ''Automatically delete junk mail older than xx days'' - is this selected?
    ''re: On searching for them I can find them but still I don't know where they are ''
    Are you using Global Search?
    The additional flters on the left side will help to narrow down the list.
    If yes, click on 'Open email as list'
    then right click on column headers and select 'Location'.
    This will tell you the folder.
    For future reference:
    you could use Message Filters to capture those 'bill' emails and put them in a specific folder.
    Create a folder called 'Bills'.
    then create a message filter using info like this example.
    Filter Name : Bills
    Apply filter when:
    * Select ' Manually Run
    * Select; Getting new mail
    * select: Filter before Junk classification
    * select: Match any of the following
    * 'FROM' and 'IS' and email address
    * click on small +
    * add another bill email address - repeat as required.
    Perform these actions:
    * 'Move message to' and select Bills folder on account.
    * click on OK to create the Filter.
    * Make sure it is enabled.

  • Why are some songs only available for other countries iTunes Stores

    I have tried to purchase some songs from the French ITunes Store, but I got an alert saying I had to switch over to the US store to do so. I did, but when I searched for the songs in the US store, I could not find them. Why is this so? Is there any way I can get the songs from the French iTunes Store?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do live in the US. I assume that it works the same, that Apple doesn't have permission to sell the French songs in the US. Thank you for the quick response.
    Thanks for the help

  • 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.

  • HT5616 I keep losing my notes on my iPad. I have them for months and then they disappear what am I doing to not save them?

    I have used notes to save various items and I keep losing them.  I have had them for months when one day I check to retrieve one I've placed in notes and they are all gone! What am I doing to lose all of my "notes"?  Thanks

    If you're using the Notes, go into Settings>iCloud and make sure that you have Notes turned "On".
    Notes will then be copied to iCloud and appear on all iOS devices.
    This will ensure that your Notes are backed up.

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • 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 when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders and not duplicated in the photo library???

    Not sure about the missing photos from the Photo Stream section of 'Recent', however to stop photos populating the events, turn off Automatic Import (iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream)

  • Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore and still nothing only had for a week can't believe it would be broken already

    Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore just to see and still nothing have only had for a week so I can't believe it would be broken already any ideas

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • 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 are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

    why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

    This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).
    Mail > Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... to look into it.
