My Mac mail accounts have disappeared after a restart of my Mac this afternoon. Is there a way to easily restore or do I need to reset up each account again? I am running macOS Sierra 10.12.5. Thanks, Jim
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
Try to follow the steps in this article see if it works : Mail for Mac: If an account is inactive in Mail
A disabled email account is dimmed in the list of accounts in Mail preferences, and its mailboxes and messages aren’t shown in the Message viewer.
Do one of the following:
Thanks for your reply tygb.
Unfortunately the 4 mail accounts have been deleted completely ie: there are none of the account names listed to be able to select & enable. This is true in both Mail and Internet Accounts.
When I open Mail, I'm provided with the option to create an account. Likewise in Internet Accounts.
I'm concerned that if I re-establish these accounts, I may not receive all my emails and will have to re-create all the sub folders I had within the accounts.
Any other thoughts?
For security reason , just take back of all mails in V4 folder an old thread : Mail.app not working. Need to backup before reinstalling.
Add accounts , even they are from different service providers the mails are stored on servers , follow this article : Mail for Mac: Set up Mail with your email accounts
