OS X :: Inbox Emptied After Configuring New Service Provider
Nov 13, 2010
I was configuring Mac Mail v-4.4 with my new provider - Primus.ca. We created a new account and when I went back to do a test, all my messages were gone from the inbox. Sent messages are gone as well. I have some files as well and they are fine. I'd really like to get them back but have no idea where to look or how I managed to do this.
I use Apple's Mail program and also my school's webmail (outlook.com) in conjuction to check my school email. However, for some strange reason, my inbox on outlook.com will only hold up to 2 weeks of mail. My inbox in Mail will still be intact, yet for the life of me, I can't figure out why my webmail inbox is disappearing. I've checked every possible setting on outlook.com to no avail. I've also checked Mail's settings, but haven't seen anything as far as deleting older mail. BTW, we're allowed 25 gigs on outlook.com so they shouldn't be deleting them automatically.
I've got really odd behavior in my Mail application running on a MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 4GB RAM OS X 10.7.3. I have several email accounts. In one of them, "X," some emails don't show up in the account Inbox even though they are present in the overall Inbox marked as "Inbox - X"! Also, when I set up a Smart Mailbox with as criterion that the sender is "Y," the sender of one of these "missing" emails, those emails don't show in the Smart Mailbox. What's going on here? It screws up my email management as I can't be sure my Smart Mailboxes and folders contain all that they're supposed to.
Looking for the most MAC friendly internet service provider. Is there a preferred provider who supports MAC OS? My current provider (Earthlink) does not.
I delete a large batch of emails from my inbox, empty the trash, and the deleted emails reappear in the inbox. This happens repeatedly. How do I get rid of these emails permanently?
I am based in the UK but missed Australian TV. Not that Aussie tv is anything great.
I am tried [URL] but is not seemed to have any Australian's servers. UK, US and Canada servers but not Aus.
Can anyone recommend any other services provider? I have try [URL] but couldn't it work out. I am not the most technical of people but I know people who are.
I have been hearing that Apple has switched from using AccuWeather to Weather.com (The Weather Channel) for the weather Dashboard widget in Snow Leopard. Is this true? Anyone with the WWDC build or the newer build. The fact that my iPod touch (weather.com / yahoo) weather app and OS X dashboard (AccuWeather) never match is kind of annoying.
To cut a long story short I have a CSV Excel Databse of email addresses that I would like to email. I follow the instructions to import them into The Address Book in order to add them to my contacts but keep getting the following message. The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file. Is their something I am missing? In the excel file I have saved the file as CSV, there is just one column of approx 1000 email addresses. I then go to address book, file, import text file and can select the file I want. Then the error message appears. Is there any other way of doing this? Presume web mail providers wont have an import capability?
I found Unison to be the best newsreader for mac. I have been desperately trying to be able to connect it to my usenet provider (Astraweb). I input all my connection details exactly correct, username, password, port, server name etc...and no luck. When I attempt to connect I receive:
However, I have used Thunderbird and NewsBin under the exact same settings and can connect just fine with no problems. I honestly have tried everything I know how to troubleshoot this problem.
I have had to update my email password with email provider. When I tried to update it on the iMac in the Internet Accounts section, I got a message saying "Password could not be sent to 'mail.tesco.net' securely. Mail cannot send your password securely tot he server. You can continue without a secured password, which could put your password at risk'. However, when I updated it on my iPhone it was accepted straightaway and I have no problem receiving my emails.
I was looking to download ichat again, but my mac is 10.4.6, so I cant download the new ichat av 2.1. I want you to find a place for me to download ichat again that can be run in 10.4.6.
There's an annoying thing which occurs systematically with Mail (OS X Snow Leopard) :I write a message to a friend, and put some file as an attachment. I send the message. The original file is located on the Desktop, and put it into the trash. Then, I can't empty the trash can !This is systematic and I have to quit Mail just to empty the trash.
I accidentally deleted my applications folder and pressed "Empty Trash" And now I'm getting a new computer from my school, and their doing something with this one. Will they just insert a CD and redo everything for another student and reinstall everything?
The operation can't be completed because the item "Saint John of Las Vegas2009.avi" is in use. This is the message received trying to empty the trash. How can this be overcomes.
Just emptied my iMac trash. Didn't realize I had so much in there. It was over 103,000 items. I think I gained about 17 GB back. No wonder my iMac has been acting bad! Beach balls, freezes, etc.
I empty the trash every few days so there is nothing big in there. When I empty the trash the icon still shows that there is trash in there. Opening the trash shows that it is empty. I fixed permissions and rebooted but it never helped. This has been going on for about a week so now I just sit here. I have an early 2008 MacPro with 10 gigs of ram and 4 HDD in it.
Every time I move files to the trash and then empty the trash the files won't deleted. The files are still in the trash although when I empty the trash I hear the empty trash sound but the files are still there.
I have an external hard drive connected to my iMac and whenever I want to delete something from the hard drive the iMac gets a gray box message saying it needs to shut down and then it just turns off. How can I delete those files without getting that message?
