E-MAIL: E-mail mysteriously leave main folder "sent"?

I come home late last night having to check an email I sent a month earlier.

This is normally no problem because I save all my emails sent and received.

To my horror, when I clicked on the box sent had only 4 emails instead of several hundred! (See screenshot).

Had I accidentally deleted them in a recent frenzy of trashing?

After a few minutes, I discovered chicks in "Mail sent" in the section "on my Mac" bottom of the left column (see screenshot).

Can someone explain how they got there or what's mysterious to you as it is for me?

I certainly have not consciously move them and no one else has access to my computer.

By the way, my emails SENT have disappeared at the same time last year, but I never found them on this occasion.  .  .  .  they were probably in this folder all the time!

PS Please ignore the reference to 'El Capitan' below, I use Yosemite on this computer.

Try re-indexing of mailboxes mailbox. This can take some time if you have a lot of mail.

Reindex messages           For El Capitan, try looking in V3.

    Original title: How can I export contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder. It seems that export all? Help!
    Trying to export contacts to a folder only in gmail, but cannot select one.

    Hello

    There is no option in Windows Mail to export a specific contact group.
    You can export all contacts to Excel and edit/print as you wish.
    Follow these steps to export the Windows Mail Contacts to Excel:
    a. open Windows Contacts by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
    b. on the toolbar, click on export and then click on the CSV format.
    CSV (Comma Separated Values). It is a format of generic file used to export or import information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
    c. click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format and then click OK.
    d. when a message appears telling you that the contacts export process is complete, click OK and then click Close.

  • folder within outlook 2007 has mail but is not visible. It can be searched, but no visible new mail goes into the folder but cannot be seen.

    I use outlook 2007. I have a subfolder in my Inbox. It shows that I have mail in the folder, but I can't. He has worked in the past very well, and then all of a sudden I can't see mail read or unread folder. I see that mail is unread in the folder and I can look in that folder and find results but I can't see what is in this folder. Other subfolders work very well.

    I fixed the problem for the co-worker. I checked to see if there is a filter applied and it didn't say in the banner, but he had a applied. You know not why the banner in the right pane showed no filter has been applied, but in any case, I removed the filter. To remove the filter highlight the subfolder. I then went in the view menu, click current view. Click Customize current view. Click Filter and then press all clear and mail again became visible

  • I take a match to open an e-mail from some of my sent items, Windows Mail stops.

    I take a match to open an e-mail from some of my sent items, Windows Mail stops.  All other open normally. The same thing happens when I try to open the folder that contains e-mail messages and from this contact.

    original title: Windows Mail problem

    Do you have any background scanning enabled?  This could be what hangs WinMail.  I don't see what else would break WM when you select only the message in the preview pane, as the body of the message is not yet loaded then.  You could try to disable antivirus and highlight the message with invalid preview pane later, just to see if it stops.

    I would offer to watch this message if you could it send me in attachment, but apparently you wouldn't be able to do it without crashing.

  • Rerouting main folder LR...

    .. .so I initially made the mistake of letting LR choose the main folder location.  Now, I want to redirect the program to an external drive which is no problem of storage.  So far, that I exported (as a catalogue) all relevant data on the new drive... There lies in "My Lightroom" and as such is not detected by LR in its current state.  I have not deleted the original files on my C drive, frankly I'm chicken... can't seem to find the magic bullet to redirect.  I hope that this forum will provide the info that I need!

    There is no "waste" If you do file-> open catalog and it point to the newly created catalog file. Lightroom doesn't care that the old one exists.

    The danger is that you (the human operator of Lightroom) go back (probably by accident) of a catalog to another and suddenly realize that changes made in a catalog are not available in the other. So as a protective measure, once you are sure that the catalog you choose to use works properly, I would either remove (or zip) another.

    But... which still leaves copies of your photos (one on the C: drive and an external hard disk). And that is a major, you probably know, but I forget anyway because it is so important. You must have backups of your photos and your catalog files.  Do you have? If you delete the copies of the C: drive, you will have only one copy of everything? You need two copies, on different physical drives.  If you do not have two copies on different physical disks, and your drive breaks down (which it certainly will at some point in the future), you now have zero copies of everything, and it's not good. A Word to the wise and stuff...

    Hell, why not uninstall and reinstall after cleaning the drive C?

    If you want to do extra work that gives no advantage, go!

  • What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

    What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

  • When I add a new file in a subfolder (folder in a folder) by using Solution Explorer, the 'date modified' in the subfolder is updated, however the "modification date" in the main folder is not changed.

    Is it possible to have the update of the main folder his "change date" when I change the contents of a subfolder?  I use VISTA.

    I don't know how to program so if you have a solution, I need step by step instructions.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Furthermore, the parent folder (and her mother and so on) are not changed when the contents of a grandchild (or below) is updated, so their timestamp will not change.

  • How can I extract the files in the subfolders in the main folder quickly?

    Hello!
    I have a problem with the files.
    I have a DVD with one main folder that contains 26 subfolders. Each subfolder contains 25 numbered documents up to 025 001.
    I need all these documents of all 26 cases out of these records and be together in the main folder.
    I now do it manually, by copy paste all 25 docs out of each subfolder in the main folder, but I think that there must be a more efficient way.
    As much as I do for 50 DVD...
    I hope someone can help me with this!
    Thank you!

    Here is the method I would use, because I'm super nerd:

    1 - Open the main top-level folder.
    2. in the search box, type a single asterisk (*) which will cause all files that point downwards (in subfolders) is displayed in the results of research, regardless of the folder they are in.
    3. drag all files in search results in their new home.
    You can also filter by file type.  To copy only word documents, simply type .doc in the search box.
