Missing mailboxes

I copied the folder Mail and Mail downloads from the library of Snow Leopard in the folder of the library of the Sierra.  I launched mail and he told me it was the upgrade file of mail, which seemed promising.  I then created an Exchange account to Sierra and Mail downloaded my Inbox folder and sent.  However, all the mailboxes stored "on my Mac" are not displayed.

I checked the mail inside the library folder is the correct size.

I deactivated and activated the account.

I even added and deleted the folder of the Spotlight Privacy tab.

I can't rebuild the mailbox because that command is dimmed until you select a mailbox.

Suggestions how to display the mailboxes stored on the Mac, please?

OK, here's the answer incase anyone else has this problem after a new installation.

I moved the folder "Mail" from the library of SL in Sierra, but it resulted in the loss of mailboxes stored on the Mac.

To solve the problem I used the command "import" in Mail, choose the option "mail" and robbed on user > library > Mail > Vn, where n = a number.

This is the missing files appear in the application, however each folder contained a subfolder named 'Messages' within which were copies of the messages.  The subfolder of Messages can be deleted manually by using the command «Delete the box...» "and then you're back to normal.  NB, I did not remove the messages from the message list, just the mailbox subfolders called "Messages."

  • Smart mailboxes endangered, but get offered in context menu search

    Hello community,

    I use a lot "letters/smart folders boxes" to organize e-mail. Sometimes a "mailbox smart" simply disappeared from the sidebar, but when I search via the search box (top right) the context menu search watch box missing mailbox and when selected works. I can't find a way how to get the missing 'mailbox smart"visible in the sidebar. I recreate it, since the original "smart mailbox" had never disappeared from the system, all the recreated "the smart mailboxes" appear in the popup of search.

    So, how do I remove all duplicates, and what causes this problem in the first place.

    I tried to expand and collapse the "smart mailbox folder", restart Mail.app and reboot the laptop. I also read the old posts regarding missing "the smart mailboxes", but they are quite old.

    I am rather lost at this point, that's why I hope someone has an idea or even a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

  • On my Mac mailbox missing from El Capitan after transfer

    I have a lot of mailboxes on my Mac on an old Mac and I want to transfer the entire batch to a new Mac.  Basically I want the Mail app on the new Mac to look identical to the former.

    Both performed El Capitan.

    I tried this:

    -a transferred the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folder of the old user library folder Mac to the equivalent location on the new Mac.

    But when I open the Mail, there is no "on my Mac" section on the left.  I can create one by creating a new mailbox, but only the new mailbox is displayed - no sign of my other. I can see all mailboxes on the blue/white inside the Library/Mail/V3/mailboxes. So they're all visible in there, but I can't as they appear inside the Mail.

    I have already tried:

    -Remove parameter files "envelope" in the folder Library/Mail/V3/Maildata - this just rebuilt the box of received/sent-my mailbox on my Mac do not appear.

    Any thought-thanks!

  • missing mail

    After installation of Sierra and opening mail 10, the database has been converted and lost about a year-old mails saved on my mackbook pro.  Use the reconstruction and did not retrieve that email post November 2015.

    I had the same problem. To be clear, the records that were missing for me are personal folders and all existed for pop accounts

    I solved it by first creating a new personal mailbox with a distinctive name "on my Mac".

    With Mail quit, then I went to the folder ~/Library/Mail/V4 and watched in folders that have various alphanumeric names until I found a new one with the distinctive name.

    I then open my drive Time Machine from the Finder and drilled until the last backup of El Capitan and is gone in the ~/Library/Mail/V3 folder and found my mailbox personal registered previously and dragged a smaller folder in the hierarchy of the V4 with the mailbox created in. I just use a mailbox to verify if the process worked.

    Once he had copied everywhere I went in the ~/Library/Mail/V4/Maildata folder and delete any file with "Envelope" in its name.

    I then restarted Mail and got a dialogue that it was important to mail and when it in place, my personal mailbox has been recreated in the Mail of Sierra of macOS application.

    Then I repeated the steps above with all other other boxes to my old V3 messages and letters once they all copied everywhere, deleted the files of 'Envelope' again. It takes quite a long time because there was a certain worth years of mail move above but it worked perfectly since that date (as far as I know).

    Hope that helps.

  • Mail - some mailboxes have disappeared, where are they gone?

    In Mail - MacBook Pro, a few mailboxes have disappeared. When I search for mail I know lies in the mailboxes, the spectacle of the elements in research and on each message the name of the mailbox, they are archived shows. How can I find the boxes to the missing letters?

    Hello martinjohnharris,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that a few mailboxes disappeared on your MacBook Pro and it does not display the messages you're looking for. I use my Mail app so much, so I can imagine how eager are you to retrieve these messages. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    If you select the mailbox in the Mail box, please use the article Mail (El Capitan): rebuild the mailboxand try a reconstruction of each mailbox, specifically, this section:

    You may have to re-create a mailbox to update the list of the messages it contains. For example, if messages seem to be missing or garbled, or if you don't find any relevant messages when you search by using the entire Message search option.

    Select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar, then choose BALL > rebuild.

    When you rebuild the mailbox for accountIMAP or Exchange messages and attachments stored on your computer are discarded and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox is empty until the download is complete.

  • Missing old messages in the folder / let's go to the balls

    I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite. I have my e-mail Application set up for my Gmail account. I'm Secretary of an association and I have a lot of emails with each year having its own folder/mailbox. All my emails before July 10, 2015 are missing.

    On the left side of the 'Mail' in the top window, it lists the "Boxes" under the present is, Inbox, sent, etc. There are "Smart mailbox store" I have none there "on my Mac" - zero, then "Gmail", then in Gmail is a long list of folders/mailboxes where I store my messages.  All my emails in these folders before July 19, 2015 are missing.

    I tried to rebuild each and nothing happened.

    I tried to use Time Machine and it has either crashed or all my mailboxes are empty, including my "Inbox".  What he says "click on restore to recover"Mailbox""or select another box in the letters or special message to recover"but nothing is displayed.» If I click on restore and I now I have Mail, "on my Mac" "Time Machine" and the box the letters, but of course, it's like Time Machine showed - empty - no messages.

    When I looked at 'Today', in Time Machine, the mailboxes are empty and he is saying the same thing.

    It seems that I have 2 problems, where is my old mail, and why are the empty mailbox in Time Machine? I used Time Machine into the past to retrieve messages, new Yosemite?

    When I added some new folders/boxes to letters, I used the sign + downstairs, I noticed that I could also go up to the Menu bar and select "Mailbox" "New mailbox", then a list where I wanted to add it.

    If my mailboxes appear as "on my Mac" instead of under 'Gmail '?

    I can access all my old emails on my web Gmail account, should I stop using the ' Mail? I wanted them backed up with Time Machine, but it does not either.

    Thank you

    Cindy Boyd

    You said that you can access your old emails on gmail Web site. Your also set records highlight on the gmail website? If so, this means that folders that you speak as lost were never on my Mac. Seems they were IMAP mailboxes. They should have been in the gmail account in the sidebar. Place the cursor on the name of the gmail account and click on view to extend the account if it is hidden.

    You can also hover over on my Mac & smart mailboxes, and the click to show those as if hidden.

  • Missing emails in Mail for Mac

    Hello

    I was forced to recreate a POP mailbox account as he had stopped downloading mails from the server for some reason any (another POP account continued to function perfectly, download of e-mails from the same server).

    Now, I find that the re-created mailbox contains only a tiny proportion of emails that have been in the old mailbox, however.  The emails it contains are a random selection of these last two years, however, not quite recent.  I checked e-mail in the library, and they seem to be missing too.

    That's happened?  Is it possible to recover the missing emails?

    Thank you
