Why do my emails in my Mail subfolders constantly disappear and reappear?

Hi there,
I am having a problem with my emails constantly disappearing and reappearing in my Mail subfolders. I cannot seem to find any options in the Mail settings/Preferences to resolve this issue. Everytime I want to view an email that I have placed in a subfolder I have to wait for it to download again.
How can I get them to stay in my Mail account? I am using a Yahoo account with my Mac Mail app.
I also have a Gmail account which is setup with Outlook. I've never had an issue with Outlook or my sufolders.
Also, when I send and email from my Laptop/Mac Mail account, the sent message won't syn onto my devices. Is this common?
I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Why opening an email message the screen Of iPad disappear and become Black?

I am wondering Why my iPad When trying to open an email message the screen almost immediately become Black Simeone gas and hint? Thank for help

Sounds like something is fouled up. First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work you might have to see an Apple Genius at an Apple store.

Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

Hi Alinc,
I find that this happens with folders that either have a lot of stuff in them, when there is a lot of large files on my desktop, or when my computer has it's RAM bogged down. I'm guessing it's just a benign performance issue, and so far it hasn't cause me any serous problems except for one folder that constantly take a while to load but I'm not surprised because that folder has 8000+ files and is over 25GB in size LOL.
If this is still an issue for you, or you folders disappear for so long that it becomes an inconvenience, I would recommend trying the following things:
1) Save your work and close any open programs, but don't close your Finder folders though. Click the Apple Logo  in the upper left hand corner of the screen, then choose Force Quit. In the windows that comes up select Finder and choose Relaunch. This should force all of your open Finder folders to get refreshed. Please note this is a very brute force operation so it might be the most elegant solution.
2) A better but less potent thing to try is cleaning up you finder folders. If like me you have hundreds of files in one folder, or there is more than a gigabyte of data in the first level of the folder, then it might be a good idea to clean it up by moving some of those files into subfolders.
3) This is my favorite fix to try, and I recommend it to almost everyone because it's super easy and has a reasonable chance of improving your computer's performance at least a little bit.
3.a) Go to Disk Utility, and click on your hard drive.
3.b) Go to First Aid, and click each of the following one at a time: Verify Disk, Repair Disk, Verify Disk Permissions, and finally Repair Disk Permissions. Each of those actions should take several minutes (3 to 30) to complete on a fast hard drive, so make sure you don't need your computer for any serious work during this time.
3.c) Once those operations are complete click on your Macintosh HD partition (right below the hard drive you clicked before) and repeat step 3.b.
3.d) If you have any other connected hard drives or partitions you can do this for them as well. BUT, I don't recommend doing this on any Windows formatted drives, like FAT or NTFS, or your Bootcamp partition — although the First Aid buttons on the Bootcamp will probably be disabled anyway.
Best,
Vlad

Mail account doesn't work properly, deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random.

deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random

I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
Come on Apple, fix this.

Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Same is happening with me. Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application. I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
Any insight would be helpful.
Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

Why does my email show thousands(!) of incoming messages -- and more...!

How come every day when I log in and open my mail, the bottom of the email screen shows thousands of incoming messages -- see attached. This happens every day. Today was the highest amount I've ever seen -- 452449 -- and it is still running closed the mail program because I was worried it would take up space on my hard drive if that many messages were really coming in.
My normal messages appear in the in-boxes and a few junk emails. I've had gmail since it started, but even if it was downloading my entire history of emails, I doubt I would be anywhere near ten thousand.
I use a few different gmail accounts and read the email on the Mail program on Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2011 Air.
Thanks!

If you have tried all of the user troubleshooting steps, then the next step is a trip to the Genius Bar. You appear not to want to complete all of the steps. We are users just like you, not Apple. Good luck with your phone.

I want to copy only the email address from Mail, not the name and email

When I get an email I want to be able to copy ONLY the email address and NOT the name.
Before I would click on an email, click on the email address and paste the email address to a list.
Now I do that and I get the name AND the email address, which makes me edit out the name every time. UGH.
Mavericks 10.9.5

did not make a difference. If I copy from the email (that has a name & email) and paste to text file (Bbedit) the name and email still show. I do not want the name, just the email.

My menu for "file" "tools" ,etc. has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back and keep it there at the top. Also, my e-mail (gmail) has disappeared and when I try to get a new gmail account, it doesn't "take". What to do????

I thought that my account had been hacked and that might be the reason I could not get my 2 different e-mails. Also, at the same time this happened, I could not get into Internet Explorer. I could still get into and use Open Office during the above problems

Thank you for the info re. the main menu. Your answer I used worked; however, the menu bar all the way across is solid black. The only way I can find out the names on the menu is to point the cursor from left to right over the black bar to find "file" "edit" tools", etc. What do I need to do to get these menu titles to be seen?
As regarding the GMail --the menu bar used to have an envelope symbol which was white and outlined in red. That disappeared. I googled "mail.google.com" to try to get back my email. This didn't work. I then tried to get a different email address and password--after 8-19 attempts, this never worked. My other email (sbcglobal.net) has never returned. So I don't know where that went or how to get it back

HT1338 Mail is constantly freezing and does play well w/ Safari

I purchased my MacBook Pro new in Nov 2012. All software is up to date. OS is 10.8.2
Ever since set up (clone over from older MacBook Pro) I have had trouble with Mail. If I have Safari open and want to email a page to someone, it freezes up and when I check Mail icon, it reads 'PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING.' It will also freeze up when I am not using Safari, but I can ALWAYS count on 3-4 times for every use to have to shut down Mail.
I have reported over 90% of these when asked and NEVER have heard anything from Apple.
Anyone else having this problem.

Apple doesn't directly respond to crash or hang reports.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Why does song progress bar seemingly disappear and reappear at random?

lately the bar that lets me move back or up within a track (and the buttons immediately below for repeat, shuffle, and genius) will go absent for days or hours at a time, then reappear normally, for no apparent reason. is there a reason for this that i can fix or adjust?
also - when the progress bar is present, i find it hard to use without the touch thinking i'm pressing the genius button instead - is there a way to disengage the latter totally since i don't use it?
thanks much!

No.

TS3899 Why can't I get new yahoo mail on my iphone and ipad?

Why can't I get yahoo mail on my iphone and ipad? Recent problem since installing OS6

If its not working, then delete the mail account and start over.

Why do my emails appear briefly, then promptly disappear?

I am not using the cloud as my computer has programs that only work with Snow Leopard. I can send emails from either mac.com or me.com, on my iPhone or my computer, to any address and the email appears briefly, but then instantly disappears and the relevant inbox shows no messages. There is also no record on my mobile me account, which is otherwise working fine (storing pictures and files etc). The local Apple store has tried to fix it, even contacting Apple chat while I was there, but so far everyone is baffled. Any ideas?

Correction to the above. The email only disappears if sent to the mobile me or mobile mac address. An email sent FROM either of these Apple addresses, to a different address works fine. Sorry!

Sometimes in an email reply in Outlook the cursor disappears...

Sometimes in an email reply in Outlook the cursor disappears and pressing any key makes the "bump" sound. The only way to correct this is by clicking the mouse back in the original cursor location...any ideas?

Does the cursor always drop to the bottom? If so, perhaps your hitting the text when trying to type the top row of keys.
Regarding troubleshooting, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
Pages
When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box
