[QUOTE="Udjamini, post: 721686, member: 66231"] I think i made a big mistake. I was trying to download my gmails into the Mail program and I tried it a couple of times trying to get it to work - sometimes it didn't copy everything, sometimes it copied things twice. After I established that I had ALL of my emails copied over, I had them deleted from the server. BIG MISTAKE. So in Mail, I wanted to go through them and put them into folders. But I couldnt make nested folder under the 'Inbox' icon, so I thought, maybe I have to do it on 'mail on my mac' folder. Stupidly I CUT all the emails (2000) and went to 'Mail on my Mac' and hit paste. The program crashed. I went back in, and all my emails are gone. The Paste is still not greyed out, so I assume the emails are still in a memory buffer somewhere? But everytime I hit paste, it crashes. So as it stands now, all 2000 emails are GONE. I'm not going to touch a thing until someone can please help me. I had all my emails from my Mom on there, who passed away in January. I feel so stupid posting this, but I am freaked out and in a HUGE panic about this. I just got this Mac a week ago, I know nothing about them, and I think i just did a big huge mistake. Why did it do this? Cut and Paste should work!! Please help me. Tell me if theres anything I can try. [/QUOTE]
