Messaging software - gives a unique Time Machine e-mail folder?

Hi, recently, I accidentally deleted a folder in e-mail software and apparently lost all the content and the folder itself. Can I retrieve an e-mail folder unique to Time Machine, and if so, please can someone tell me how?

Thank you.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select Library/Mail/V2.  Enter the time Machine and restore the deleted folder.

  • Time Machine restore Mail (or fact)?

    Yesterday I restored my iPhone from a backup to iCloud and, despite my preference for deletion delete messages on 'Never' (Yes, I know that Apple always deletes them after a month), iPhone restored with the preference set to "1 week". This preference then synced to iCloud, and I have now lost is the last three weeks of deleted messages on all my devices (grrr).

    I'm trying to get back them on my iMac to Time Machine. I opened the Mail and selected the "Trash - iCloud ' record went to Time Machine. The mail window says "click on restore to recover your trash in iCloud. I chose a moment before I have restored the iPhone and clicked on restore and everything went back to normal pace, but I could see from the window of the e-mail activity that he was downloading nearly 6, 000 messages (!) Why must download 6 000 messages to restore the trash of my last month - that is not more than a few hundred - I don't know, but I had other things to do I let it blow away.

    I checked periodically and it was still blowing. Then I came back and the download was complete and nothing had changed! My trash to iCloud goes back more than a week.

    Where are these 5 000 + messages that I just waited a hour? Did I miss something?

    Thanks in advance,

    When you use Time Machine to restore e-mail messages, they are placed in a separate folder named recovered E-mail (or something like that). Look in the sidebar where are all your other mailboxes.

    To restore deleted messages, you should be pointing out the mailbox you want TM to restore, not the trash.

  • Time Machine exclude user folder repeatedly

    Hello

    My time machine continues to ignore my user folder. ~ is listed in the exclusions and if I delete it it's just go ~ after that I saved and closed the file of the option (see screenshot)

    I'm tempted to remove the relevant com.apple.TimeMachine.plist no success outside the delivery of other time machine preferences.

    Any other suggestions.

    Found the solution to reset correctly a plist after deleting, you must reboot until the system tries to establish a new preference setting. Erased all settings and kept cleared, will be useful for other problems as well I think.

  • I need help restoring iTunes from Time Machine

    I lost part of my iTunes library by removing certain albums by mistake and turning off the trash. When I tried to restore the Time Machine's iTunes folder, I got a message that I didn't have enough space. So I tried to simply restore the .itl file. I did once all the missing albums appeared in iTunes - but all the individual pieces were not there - got of exclamation points. I tried to locate to point iTunes to their new location - but I can't find where restoration placed. They are not meed to be in the iTunes media folder or all previous libraries.

    The .itl file is just a style text file with a list of the locations of the files for the track.  You must also restore the real media files.  If you let iTunes organize media, it should be quite systematically arranged in your iTunes folder in Time Machine and you can restore files individual album since you have no space to restore the entire media folder. If they are compiling or several albums of artists tracks can be spread out a little.

  • Time Machine - an exclusion different backup for the backup drives different time machine

    I hope someone can help me.

    For these past years, I used 2 Time Machine backups to keep all safe. I have 1 backup x who lives at home and is 3 times the size of my disk. I also have a second drive of laptop that I travel with, which is partitioned to give a little time machine backup, more than 1.5 TB of "overflow storage (for movies, video files, etc).

    Recently however, I realized that my "storage of listening" actually contains a large amount of data I wouldn't lose (especially the photos of my children because they were born), so now I want to save this drive as well.

    If my ideal situation is to have a huge drive I leave at home. This contains backups of the computer AND 'excess of storage' backup. It's pretty simple to implement.

    But can someone tell me if my trip backup, will try also to the other partition of the backup drive? And if so, is there anyway to give different time machine backups different exclusions.

    Hope that makes sense and hope that someone can help me.

    Thank you
    John

    You will need to manually change the exclusions when you going on a trip. There isn't a way to change automatically.

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

  • Time Machine failed backup. What are alternative backup software?

    A MBP with 1 TB HD could not continue the Time Machine backup, after update OS X to El Capitan 10.11.6. Old backups TM are automatically removed because of the error checking. The MBP also failed to make a new backup TM.

    I guess I maybe need a reinstallation of the OS X. How is it safe to reinstall OS X 10.11.6 without a backup?  Any suggestion of a software disk cloning? (e.g. copy of carbon can make a clone of disc? How do I?)

    You should check the drive you used for Time Machine backups with disk utility > first aid to make sure that the disc is not serious. If you mean Carbon Copy clone, yes it can create clones. Instructions to create a clone are provided with the program.

  • Is there a community Apple Time Machine or Family Tree Maker software by ancestry.com.au?

    I can't find the answer to my posted question, either right now or a few years ago, when I last tried.  Maybe I'm posting in the wrong community.

    My question is as above, because I can not restore a deleted of the software said using Time Machine.

    I could never do all the time when the software was originally installed on my old mac, and I can't do it after the transfer of all my system from the old to the new mac.  However, my new mac now tells me that it can't open the application, although it is on my Dock and works perfectly with some other trees it contains; He asks me to migrate.  He may not need migration because it works!  Any ideas?

    These forums are only on Apple Software and Hardware, so it will not be a forum for any form of third-party software.

    I don't see anything specific to Time Machine, but this Web site provides much useful information about Time Machine:

    http://pondini.org

    Can you explain exactly what you have restored?

    In addition, please explain how the application runs, but doesn't? I'm confused by your statement that it runs from the dock with other trees, but does not otherwise.

    In relation to this, you have restored an older version of the App, hoping that your old trees were stored in the app itself? If so, this isn't how everything works. Apps for does not store data in the application. They have separate data storage areas and that's what should be restored.
