Wednesday night, I tackled a project I’ve been putting off for, well, years: cleaning out my Mail archives. And by “archives,” I really mean “messages stored in folders and sub-folders and sub-sub-folders in Mail itself that I meant to one day do something with but never got around to handling.” While the project went well in the end, there was a point where it appeared I’d lost hundreds of important messages. If you find yourself in a similar situation, this tip may help.
I spent a few hours archiving (really archiving, via Mail’s built-in Mailbox -> Archive Mailbox menu item) more than 12,000 messages and removing hundreds of megabytes worth of no-longer-needed file attachments. Throughout the entire process, there was only one folder I didn’t touch—my Software Keys folder. This is where I keep the original copies of any software serial numbers I receive via e-mail. (I also put the key itself into Keychain Access, but that’s just the key.) I like to keep these around in case I ever need to contact the software vendor.

Just jumping in here too, hey there @Efreken7! On a Mac device, dragging an app to the trash will uninstall the app for you. This means that you can do a fresh install of the app from our website here. During the setup of the app, it will ask if you want to set up the computer backup. Once done, close it, Play on Mac/Play on Linux window will ask you to create a shortcut, choose the Steam.exe, click next, rename it into SteamBanished or something similar (if you install multiple Steam games, each one should require it's own virtual drive, meaning its own Steam, thats why renaming it is not stupid), click next, click 'I don't. Spotify Download Spotify. Mac OS X (Current 10.10 10.9 10.7-8)Windows (Current Vista)iOS; Android (Google Play Amazon)Spotify for other platforms. The fastest and most straightforward way to recover lost or disappeared photos on Mac after update is using a piece of data recovery tool, it saves your time and even brings some valuable data back to your MacBook Pro or Air.
The only thing I did to that folder during my cleanup was move it out of a sub-folder. After purging all my old e-mails, I opened the Software Keys folder, saw all my saved messages for a brief second…and then they just vanished. Poof. Gone.
Read more …Rebuilding the mailbox (Mailbox -> Rebuild) didn’t bring them back. So I turned to Time Machine, which was able to restore the folder, or so it seemed. But when I then moved the imported messages back into the original Software Keys folder, only one message showed up, and I couldn’t even view the contents of that message. At this point, I thought I was stuck, and the messages were just gone for good.
Then I remembered an older hint about fixing a sluggish Mail app. While my Mail app wasn’t sluggish in the least, after reading the hint I suspected perhaps I had an index problem. So I used the brute force method in that hint to try to fix it: I quit Mail, then moved the file named Envelope Index from my user’s Library -> Mail folder to the trash. (As noted in the original hint, please make sure you have a good backup before doing anything like this…just in case it all goes horribly wrong.)
When I restarted Mail, the application told me it needed to import my messages; I clicked Continue and then just waited a bit. After a few minutes, Mail told me it had imported 3923 messages. I navigated to the Software Keys folder, opened it up, and found all the missing messages. I opened each one (to be sure they worked), and then started a new Time Machine backup immediately, so the corrected data would be backed up.

After this close call, I’ve also resolved to clean out my old Mail messages on a more regular basis—not only will it keep Mail running faster (it’s like a new app this morning!), but will hopefully prevent my index file from becoming so badly mangled that it no longer functions at all.
