Why is new mail going to my archived folder?

Upgraded to 10.9.2 and now all mail is not being sent to my inbox, but to my archived folder. How do you fix this?

What email program are you using?

  • Why is my new mail going to an "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder?

    I've discovered that my new mail is now longer going to the regular Inbox. It's now landing in a new "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder. Why? How can I reset this back to the regular new mail inbox?
    I tried renaming the folder in the directory but mail still is defaulting there. I've check to make sure I don't have a filter to do this, no filter for this account.

    Use C:\YourWebSite (where C: is your hard drive).

  • Can anyone explain why some of my mail goes straight into Archive and doesn't show up in my Mail Inbox?

    I don't understand the Archive folder.  My Mail Inbox receives mail for my Mac, Gmail & AOL accounts - but sometimes after I've read an email I then can't find it when I check back for it later.  And then I discover it's in the Archive folder, though I haven't done anything to make it move to Archive.  So it must be happening automatically, and seemingly at random.  Can anyone explain how this could be and how I can prevent it continuing to happen?  Thanks.

    Andy, thanks for your reply. I was just going to post that I seem to have solved the problem.
    What I ended up doing was to first back up the mail folder. Then I created some Saved Mail folders and did a search to find the e-mails that weren't displaying and put them into a saved mail folder. Then I went in and deleted the e-mail account that wasn't displaying mail. (It would show the number of new messages in the red circle, but didn't show any messages being in the inbox when you clicked on the account.) Anyway, after trying to backup everything and deleting the problem e-mail account, I rebuilt the inbox and then re-entered the information for that account to set it back up. After I did this, messages come into the account just fine and show up just like they should.
    The file structure looked to be the same as what your finder image shows. When I did the search which let me find the messages, all I noted was that it would say they were either in the Inbox, Sent Mail, Trash, etc. But, once I had them showing in the search window, I could copy them to a saved mail folder and view them without a problem.
    Since this wasn't my computer, I'm not sure if anyone tried to change account settings, but not as far as I know. They just said it happened about 2-3 weeks ago.
    Thank you for your help. I guess it's going to be one of those computer things that you don't know why it happened, but at least I know what I did that seems to have fixed it.

  • Mavericks Gmail account - new mail showing up in Archive but not in Inbox

    For a Gmail account, new mail seems to be showing up in the "Archive" folder for that account (which seems to be mapped to Gmail's "All Mail").
    However it isn't showing up in the Inbox for the account.
    The settings seem identical to another Gmail account where mail is showing up in the Inbox.
    Any thoughts of what I might do to get these mails to show up in the Inbox?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I don't know. I've given up for now and am using Mailplane. I will be doing a write-up on it, but it seems to be working much better than Airmail even.
    The funny thing about using Mailplane, which is a lot more directly connected to Gmail than any of the other clients, is that for the first time I'm seeing that even the iOS Mail app, which I thought had no problems, is actually lagging quite a lot behind the actual Gmail contents!
    I think Mail.app is hopeless at this point. Maybe it's good if you want to transfer an an entire IMAP set of folders between accounts if you are migrating (as is Thunderbird). But basically it's become extremely unreliable under Mavericks. I can't believe Apple let it out of the door.

  • Why is some mail going to bulk folder?

    I have an ATT mail account (Yahoo account too.)  I started to become concerned about email that I wasn't receiving (folks swore they sent it.)  I noticed my iPhone has bulk mail folder (Mac and iPad do not) and lo and behold, tons of email that I have been missing.  What is this folder?  Why does some mail go there and not others?  How can I either customize this folder (to get the emails in my "regular" email folder or get rid of it?

  • Why my sending mail goes to outbox?

    I have tried so many ways to send email from my ipad but I am not able , all the mail goes automatically to outbox and stay there .
    I turn on/off the ipad and also delete all the app in the back ground but still problem resist.
    Could any body help?

    Sound like the iPad is not connecting to your outgoing mail server correctly.
    I had this same issue. I could only send email while at home, connected directly to my ISP.
    Some mail servers require password authentication when sending while connected through other servers.
    Settings > Mail > select the account.
    Tap Outgoing mail server.
    Enter your username and password and select Password authentication.

  • HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address.  The correct email shows in my Apple account.  Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

    I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address.  My email address is right under my Apple ID.  How do I get this corrected?

    Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption.  I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
    That is good.  In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it.  All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
    In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts.  One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID.  But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple.  As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
    However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
    settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out.  Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

  • HT1694 Exchange sent mail going to hotmail sent folder

    Why are my messages sent with my exchange exchange account going to my hotmail sent folder? This is happening on my iPad and my iPhone.

    Hmmmm...... perhaps if you took the time to read instructions.
    Did you save the add-on XPI file and install it in Thunderbird like the instructions said. Or try and install it in Firefox, get the inevitable failure and complain here that it is not compatible. The web site offers instructions. Perhaps if you read these. http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html That add-on works with the current version.
    "You don't recall any read only" Right click any file you copied off the DVD. Select properties and there you have a read only flag.
    Do you have anti virus software running? Disable any part of it involving SPAM, TRASH Phishing and email.

  • Incoming mail going to Archive, not Inbox

    On Dec, 2 I submitted this question:
    Dec 2, 2013 6:12 AM 
    My incoming mail now goes to the archive file instead of the inbox file. I have changed nothing and it still shows up in the inbox but allnew notifications go to the archive file. I am using OSX 10.9  Any ideas hoiw to fix this?
    iMac, OS X Mountain Lion 
    It was suggested to delete the account and then add it anew. That seemed to work fine, but two weeks later it all began again. All the incoming mail goes to an Archive folder and no new notifications are shown in the new mail accopunt? I hate to have to delete and reopen the accoiunt every few weeks.
    Any ideas? I see the same issue on other discussions but no explanations?

  • Good mail going to Junk folder -- even Apple mail

    I know there are other threads on this, but no one seems to have a resolve for it.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Just got my computer repaired at Apple, new harddrive, new video card.  So it's starting anew.
    However, even my MacBookAir is putting my GOOD MAIL in my JUNK FOLDER.  So it's universal on all my devices.
    Why is my mail going to my junk folder.  It's annoying to have to check every single piece of mail with "this is not junk" and then drag it to the IN box.  And then even that doesn't work.  I'll still receive the email from the same sender back into my Junk Folder.
    I see a LOT, hundreds, of VIEWS for this issue, but no one is yet to resolve it.
    Hope someone can solve it.  Thanks

    Well, let's put it this way, it was never a problem before.  A new harddrive was installed on my computer so I'm starting from scratch.  I have no "rules" set yet.  My mail supplier is MAC --.mac, .icloud -- mail.  So my provider is MAC or APPLE I guess.  It's mac mail.
    Everything is set to "default" right now. I followed someone else's instructions to RESET the Junk Mail.  Did that.
    But I don't know any other proceedures to take to stop ALL MY MAIL from going into the JUNK EMAIL BOX.
    Never did that before, so there must be some setting, or not, that is causing it to do that.
    I have "enable junk mail filtering" checked.  The following types of messages are EXEMPT, my address book, previous recipients, messages using my full name, all checked.
    Certainly "previous recipients" should not be sent to the junk folder if that option is checked to be exempt.
    What's left?

  • Mail - at subdir's not autochecking new mail

    When mail program not opened, new mail checked only for main folder (for example Gmail), but for sub folders new mail never auto-checked. Only if I open program and DIRECTLY open this mail sub folder.
    For example my folders at Gmail:
    inbox
    Job
    etc.
    For Job folder and other folder new mail  never checked.
    Who to fix that problem?

    Actually, I think I discovered that a new To Do can't be created from emails that are specifically addressed to me. Is that true? Why is that?

  • New mail not being indicated in nested folders

    I have just noticed that new mail does not get indicated unless the folder in which it has been stored is opened. As I have a lot of mail folders, this isn't practical. It worked fine before I installed Leopard (said installation also rendering my computer unusable for about 6 hours incidentally until I could decipher command line instructions to rescue it), but now I have no way of knowing if I have new mail without opening every single folder I have.
    Actually I didn't notice, I had a phone call from an irate client wanting to know why I hadn't responded to her email of 6 hours previous. On accessing her folder I found the emails, then opened up all the other folders to discover I had new mail all over the place, this instigating a pretty hectic period where I tried to cram a whole days email replying into 30 seconds.
    So is this a bug, a preference setting or any idea what?
    I must say that so far Leopard seem to be the most successful bug introduction Apple has ever pulled off. Maybe only 8.6 was more spectacular, what with it's hard disc destruction mode.
    Bah!!!

    Glad to see that someone else has the same problem as me!!
    I only have about 10 different folders with rules attached so I've taken to clicking on each folder when checking for new mail.
    It's incredibly annoying though and is again a problem only since I upgraded to Leopard.
    Anyone got any ideas or insight?!
    As Sean put it perfectly - 'Bah'!!

  • Email folder not showing "new mail" alert

    I have several email folders on my blackberry.  When I recieve an email it only shows up on the "messages" folder.  My previous BB would show the new mail indicator in both "Messages" folder and the specific email folder it belonged in.  If I go to the specific folder, the email is inside, it just will not alert me to this folder.  Hope this makes sense.
    Currently I have 4 specific email folders, a text folder, and a messages folder. 
    How can I fix this? 
    I have an 8310 that was just replaced by another 8310 thru insurance coverage.
    Thank you very much!

    Not sure if this will work but try going into your email and hit bb menu key and choose message alerts and make sure you have a notification set for each one
    Hope it helps

  • Another Empty New Mail after 'NewMail' token

    Hi there,
    Here's my code to send an email via the GroupWise client form.
    vGWCmd := CreateOleObject('GroupWiseCommander');
    vGWCmd.Execute('MainWindowShow()', sRet);
    // Let the time to GW to open main form
    Application.ProcessMessages;
    Sleep(1000);
    vGWCmd.Execute('NewMail()', sRet);
    vGWCmd.Execute('TextSetTo("' + sSendTo + '"; True)', sRet);
    vGWCmd.Execute('TextSetSubject("' + sSubject + '"; True)', sRet);
    vGWCmd.Execute('TextSetMessage("' + sBody + '"; False)', sRet);
    All works fine but after the user clicks the Send button, a brand new
    empty mail is created and popup. If I understand well Tokens, it is like
    a message (sent using API SendMessage).
    Maybe tokens are mixed up and that's why another new mail form is created
    after email is sent. Is there an equivalent and more predictable way to
    send tokens (a kind of PostMessage)?
    Thank you for reply,
    Rej Cloutier

    I think there is a setting in the GW client that automatically creates a
    new mail form upon send. Look under tools, options, environment, open
    new view on send

  • All mail going into spam folder

    After upgrading to Lion all mail going straight to spam folder, even the addresses saved in address book.  Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Is the folder actually called "Spam" or do you mean the "Junk" folder?
    A "Spam" folder is not part of Mail, while a "Junk" folder is.
    If it is going to "Junk" then check for any Rules in Mail preferences that might be causing it. If there aren't any, try Resetting the Junk email filters in the Junk Mail tab of preferences.
    If it is "Spam," then check with Gmail or whatever email service you are using that is routing it there at the server level.
