My emails have disappeared from my Inbox of mail

Hello

I lost almost all my messages in the Inbox of my Apple Mail account. This happened 24 hours is, I must admit, a bit traumatic as the 12000 (roughly) emails date back about 10 years and, as everyone understands, some are important. In fact, I was left with about 50 e-mails or something close. I am completely in the dark; When this happened already my emails were restored quickly without any intervention by me.

My other folders, for example, "sent" and "Drafts" are not affected, just my Inbox.

I use OS X 10.6.6 (I know, it is not supported now) and Mail Version 4.6 (1085). I use a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 6. Messages are not accessible using my Apple Mail app in the dock or using iCloud. Both options have IMAP settings. Also, I have not exceeded the storage allocated on the server. I tried the function 'Rebuild' in the menu dropdown box mailbox but failed.

I am not optimistic, but would appreciate greatly any guidance or advice, you can offer me.

Kind regards

Nick

Try to rebuild the mailbox.

Rebuild the mailbox

If this does not work, 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.

  • All messages have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox.

    All of my emails have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox. "Sent" and "Trash" messages are OK. I tried to delete the file "Inbox.msf", as some have suggested, then restarted TB, but the mailbox is still empty. My messages are apparently still in the "Inbox" file (under 'profile'), but all the gobblety-gook with loads of codes and numbers. I copy all of this mess, but don't have a clue how it back in my Inbox and make it readable. Can anyone help?

    I don't know why the size has changed... maybe I deleted something?

    I tried importing and had nothing but issues (details on my previous answer).

    I spent 3 days on this now and I'm tired. I guess I'll try using some email recovery program.

    Thanks for the help.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Emails simply disappeared from my Inbox

    I noticed last week that my emails sometimes disappear from my Inbox after I download on my PC at home - didn't happen every time, from time to time (and only the emails of the day).

    I just checked my BB Z10 and all my emails from my Inbox disappeared!  I was at work all day and that you have not downloaded my messages on my PC at home since yesterday so it's not the question.

    What is happening and how to fix this?  Thanks for the help!

    Well Yes. There was a lot of recent reports of emails Yahoo endangered devices recently. Yet I have as follows a "first cause", some suspect the OS device while others suspect the Yahoo servers to be the culprit. The good news is that your emails are still safe on Yahoo servers. If it were me, here's what I would try...

    First, remove this e-mail account of your device.

    Then, with a strong support network signal (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1should causes a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message appears on your screen (watch carefully, it can appear and disappear quickly)

    2) restart

    • Pre-BB10 ONLY devices. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • Peripheral BB10. Hold the top button until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the unit to be completely stopped (for example, nothing appears on the screen, no lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red light. Wait through the entire boot process. IF this fails, you can try the method of battery-pull above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.

    Now, reconfigure this e-mail account on your device and see if everything appears again for you. Be patient as a "first synchronization" may take some time (and it varies depending on the size of your mailbox server, the choice you make when you set up the e-mail account, etc.).

    If not the behavior returns, then it could still be caused by server or OS caused. If it's Yahoo-caused, then there is nothing to do but wait. If it's caused BONE, so the first question is what OS you are currently running:

    • Article ID: KB23393 How to find the model number and the version of the OS on a BlackBerry smartphone

    Note carefully please we do not need your "Software Version" value... which is actually pretty empty. We must instead your real version of the OS.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • All my posts have disappeared from the Inbox.

    I realized there is a similar problem posted, but proposed solutions don't work here and the details here are different.

    All messages have disappeared from the Inbox. The sent box is fine, but deleted from the Inbox messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    A search of the Inbox for messages of size > 0 allows me to see the messages and respond to them.
    If I move a message to another folder the moved message is invisible but believes it is search.

    Deleted messages are in the trash folder, but is not visible. A search in the trash finds them.

    Messages in the search boxes reuse (response, delete), but try to delete a selected message in the search box list has no effect.

    I found a solution. I can't take credit, but I tell you that I was almost embarrassed the simplicity of the solution and the problem.
    AT & T ConnectTech technician admitted that when I could left click and select the message in a tab, it was probable that nothing was clicked in the "select to display columns" in the top right of the CT. He clicks on a selection of articles and automatically that my messages appeared.

  • Is it possible to recover hundreds of mails that have disappeared from my Inbox after it has been quarantined today by Norton Internet Security?

    I received an infected email this morning which resulted in Norton Internet Security quarantine inbox. All received emails are gone now from the Inbox (with the exception of two who apparently arrived just before the infected message).
    (1) is it possible to recover the E-mails lost without re-infection of the Inbox?
    (2) how can I avoid this happening again? Until today, the infected emails have simply removed by Norton Internet Security on arrival without all the previous messages being lost in the Inbox.
    I would be very grateful for help.

    you force Nortons of UN-setting in the file quarantine.
    Then, you create an exception for Norton analyzes the folders that contain your Thunderbird profile, so it is not repeated.

    Be aware that the infection is not as severe as the cure. Maybe you can find someone to Semantec to explain how an email in Thunderbird can infect anything unless you physically open an infected attachment that Norton should catch when it is written in the temp folder before opening.

    I lost a lot of time talking to corporate cretins to Semantec and they charge just "this is another line of defense" when asked for more details. Why, because they can simply justify not e-mail Scanner in any other terms. Enjoy it servers little or not by the challenges of usability and convenience.

    This "mail" was written on your drive hard until Semantec has managed to make a mess of things. It's a little late don't you think saying "you have an infection. Do they expect also for stuff in your browser to be written on the disc? You bet they do. Where is the preventive surveillance to data transmissions that prevents infection before it is written on your drive?

  • all my emails in 2009 have disappeared from my Inbox, now when I open outlook express, it says 1 2 10 10 download and so on, but no emails appear in my Inbox.

    I sent an email to myself and he appeared in the deleted items folder, but no other messages are displayed page BT Yahoo

    It can be simple or complex.

    Simple: Finds | Current view. Is: Check all Messages from show?

    Complicated. The Inbox is damaged due to becoming too large.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, rename the Inbox.dbx in Inboxold.dbx. When you open OE, a new Inbox will automatically be created and new mail will happen as planned. Now you will need a tool to retrieve messages from the old Inbox.

    DBXpress {faster for large files}
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    ******************************************************

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • I use Thunderbird with multiple e-mail accounts. This morning, on behalf of BT 12 months last emails have disappeared, no other accounts like hotmail. (btinternet?)

    The shot to the top of Thunderbird, this morning, the last 12 months of emails have disappeared from my Inbox. Older emails are still there. The new mails are still on my phone. Other accounts in Thunderbird (hotmail, gmail, etc.) do not seem to have been affected. This seems to be a special relationship between Thunderbird and BT internet email. I would be really grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Hi - Thanks for taking the time to answer for me. No, the problems don't moved earlier. My wife also has a near-dormant BTinternet account which is accessible from the Thunderbird even on the same computer. Which has proved to work very well. I found that there were many problems with the BT e-mail yesterday and my problem was resolved later (2 hours on the phone) by a very helpful Lady in BT who virtually rebuilt my account. Even my security questions were rejected. I think that BT Yahoo email had major problems yesterday and he had nothing to do with Firefox - so please accept my apologies if I've wasted your time. Again thank you and best regards.

  • Windows Mail E-mail has disappeared from my Inbox.

    original title: Windows Mail (Vista) - Emails disappearing

    Since the beginning of may, emails hhave disappeared from my Inbox and I can't get back them.  They are not in my junk e-mail or deleted items folders or any folder in Windows Mail.  What's wrong?

    Its likely your antivirus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  You must get something more compatible with Winmail first (for example www.microsoft.com/security_essentials but disable the eml file type are analyzed).  Then, after removing the antivirus, remove your e-mail account, run WMUtil to compact and repair the database and then add your return email account again.

  • Read emails disappear from the Inbox when I return to the Inbox

    If 'Read' Emails are left in the "Inbox" and then I leave this folder, move it to another folder and return to the "Inbox" only "unread" e-mail is visible. All 'Read' previously in the "Inbox" emails have disappeared - I can't find them in any folder. Recently, I found the tab "Quick filter" - it is as if the tab "Unread" is locked on. Use Thunderbird Version 37.7.08.
