Why is the Mail app deleting mail from my account?

Hi. I have used the mail app before and when i used it (i have hotmail) i connected it and all, but it started to delete mail from my hotmail account from the mail app. I have the newset software and i heard that a new mail app came. Is this fixed? I do not want to lose any emails from my hotmail account.
Thanks in advance!

My primary email account is with my ISP. Through their webpage access to my account, I have it set to forward all mail (without deleting it) to my MobileMe account. I have Mail set to acess my MobileMe account only. This allows me to get all my mail without any of it actually leaving the ISP's mailbox.

iMessage was a beta product. If you upgraded to Mt Lion the program is now called Messages.

Deleting a Mail Account But Keeping the Mail From That Account

I want to delete a Mail Account. But, I want to keep all of the email that was associated with that account. If I move the email to another folder within Mail, will that do the trick?

Stephen Levin wrote:
OK, I'm totally confused.
Here is what I normally do:
Check my email (all POP accounts).
It comes into my inbox.
As I deal with a message, I move it from my Inbox to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
That way I end up with just a few emails in my Inbox at any time.
The way I move my messages is I select them and I drag them to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
I know this deletes them from the Inbox and adds them to the folder I am moving them to.
that's moving. when you copy, the original remains in the inbox and a copy is added to the destination folder.
But, I'm pretty sure that when I do so, the Activity Window says I am copying them.
I have several email accounts that people email me at. When I file messages away, they are all mixed up in the folders On My Mac. I have no idea which ones came from which Accounts.
Given all of the above info, if I delete one of my Accounts, will Mail delete some of the emails I have filed away in the folders On My Mac? I think the answer is No, but would like to confirm.
No, once you've moved an email to a local mailbox in "on my mac" it's completely separated from its original email account. if you delete an account it will have no effect on those messages.
I think that the only mail that Mail will delete is the email in the Inbox, Trash, Outbox, and Sent Mail for that Account, but am looking for confirmation.
that's correct.
If that is the case, I don't care about the Trash, I'll make sure the Outbox is empty, and I'll move all of the messages for that Account out of the Inbox and Sent Mail before I delete the Account.
What do you think, will that work?
yes. sorry for confusing you before. This should work just fine.
My suggestion was simply that you copy messages instead of moving them as you've been doing. once the copy is successful you can delete the originals or just delete the account and the originals with it. you don't have to do it but that's a safer operation then moving them directly when you have to do it with a lot of messages at once. That's all. I've seen posts by people who were trying to move large numbers of emails between mailboxes and had Mail choke on the operation. that can result in a loss of emails.
If not, how can I hide the Account I'm no longer planning on using. Right now Mail keeps trying to check it every time I check my Mail and I get that broken icon next to the folders.
In case the OS matters, I'm running the latest version of 10.5 on a Power PC.
Thanks!

Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why is the Podcasts app deleting podcasts? I want to keep them?

iOS7
4Gs (still kickin')
Latest version of Podcasts app from Apple
For some reason the Podcasts app is deleting episodes from my phone. I have no idea why.
For all of my podcast subscriptions I have "Episodes to Keep" set to "All", because I want to delete them when I am done with them.
I'll be driving to work, start listening to a downloaded episode, pause it for the drive home, and when the time comes, it's gone!
Why?
I'll re-download the episode and it usually picks up where I left off, but it is a total pain. I haven't even synced with iTunes since my computer is at home.
Dear Apple, is this a bug or a feature?
Dear support community...please help me!

Jennifer,
Check to make sure that the Deleting Apps restriction has not been enabled To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
If that is the case, remove the restriction, then delete the App. Lastly, make sure the App is not set up to sync to the iPod via the iPod's Application tab in iTunes.

Mail App deleting messages from .Mac server

Hi
I haven't seen this issue on this board. Let me know if I'm wrong.
This is on the interaction between my .Mac email account and the Mail Application. I have two email accounts set up.
I have 2 computers and keep my mail on one, so I kept my previous (Eudora) mail apps set to "leave mail on server" on the other.
I don't see a setting for this for my .Mac email account in Mail.app. When I check my mail with the Mail.app recently, on the computer where I don't keep my mail, it is deleting the mail from the .Mac account. I don't think it did this before. The mail is no longer on .Mac when I check via a browser.
My earthlink pop account seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated

Whether it's correct or not depends on the
circumstances under which mail is removed from the
server. If it's because it's being moved out of the
account Inbox and into "On My Mac" custom
mailboxes, then yes, it's correct.
For IMAP-type accounts, mail on account mailboxes are
stored on the server instead of locally (you can
configure this behavior for mailboxes other than
Inbox in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
Behaviors). Whatever you do to that mail you're
doing it to the mail stored on the server. If you
tell Mail to move a message out of Inbox,
that's what Mail does, it moves the message out of
Inbox at the server.
Thanks -- so if I understand this properly, the mail is stored on the inbox on the server, but if I have a rule that moves it to a mailbox that I created locally (imported from Eudora, for example) it moves it from the server to my local mailbox *not leaving a copy on the server*. I have lots of mailboxes that I use to sort the mail and rules to route messages. So to correct this issue I should disable the rules if I don't want the mail moved off the server and into a local mailbox.
Many thanks for your help and patience

Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

Hi starbux48,
Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Accidentally deleted all mail from one account - how to retrieve?

I apparently deleted all of the mail from one of my email accounts on the iPhone. They are not showing up in the Trash folder.
The emails are still present in Entourage and have not been deleted from the server.
Is there any way to bring them back into the iPhone? I really need them for my on-the-go responses since I spend half my life waiting in offices!
Thanks,
roxpat

OK - another update.
If the message is downloaded into Entourage first then it won't downloaded onto my iPhone at all. I haven't made any changes to my account.
ideas?

Batch deleting mail from an account

I'm frustrated when I get a few days of mail from my account on my iPhone and I have to mark each individual piece of e-mail one by one to set them up for deletion. Am I missing something? Is there a way to click on "Edit" in mail and then tell your phone you want to mark every e-mail for deletion? If I could do that, and then simply uncheck the few that I might want to keep around, it would be wonderful. This is such a simple thing that I would think the Mail program on the phone would have this feature. Perhaps I'm just missing how to do it.
There is a way to mark all your e-mails, but that's to flag them, not delete them.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

It wouldn't be easy to delete by accident if you had to affirm your choice through a dialog box. That just seems like something that should be part of the software.
Is there any way to request that something like this be added to the software? Is there a place in the support community where we can request such features?

I received an iPhone 6 in the mail from my previous service provider but I already changed to a different provider and got an iPhone 6 thinking I wouldn't receive the phone in the mail. Should I mail it back?

I received an iPhone 6 in the mail from my previous service provider but I already changed to a different provider and got an iPhone 6 in the meantime because my iPhone 5 stopped working and I was desperate thinking I wouldn't receive the phone in the mail. Should I mail it back or sell it?

You aren't serious are you? Send it back. It is not yours, you do not own it, therefore selling it would constitute selling stolen goods. You would be committing a crime, and you would be screwing whomever you sold it to.
