HT2954 Unable to view original folders in Apple Mail.

I've recently added my hotmail account to Apple Mail but I'm unable to get the different folders that I created in hotmail to show up in Apple Mail. I was wondering if there is any way to do this.

The IMAP protocol replicates folders but the POP protocol only downloads the contents of the server's Inbox to the clients Inbox. Hotmail does not support IMAP - it only supports POP.
Options:
1 - Use Gmail - it supports POP and IMAP
2 - Move all messages (via web or other means) to the server's Inbox to download via POP protocol
IMPORTANT:
Some POP clients have default settings which delete from server without warning either initially or a few days later - typically 14 days. Find these settings and adjust as required.

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

Unable to view custom folders (SQL)

Hello
I've created an sql folder in "The Discoverer V5 EUL" BA.
Desktop users are unable to view and use reports based on the sql folder, although complex folder are available.
also, sql folders on other BA's are available
can someone advise?

Hi,
Try creating a view in the DB with the sql query, make a folder out of it and see if it works.
My guess is that the tables that you refer in the sql query might not be available in the schema of that particular BA.
Or are all your BA in the same schema??
Thanks.

Unable to view all folders within exlpo

I have a Zen Sleek player and I have 4 main folders under the root directory. I am able to see and play everything just fine within the player but when I go to view the folders within windows explorer I only see of the 4 folders.
I have performed the disk clean option which re-built my music library and rebooted my PC and it still is not working.
It takes a long time to copy all the files over and create new playlists so before I end up re-formatting my player I am wondering if anyone can give me some help on fixing this.
Thanks in advance

There's not much you can do unfortunately, a disk cleanup is about it, short of the format.
Presumably you're using the MTP firmware?

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

Unable to view photos received via e-mail or texting

Hi,
I have been unable to view photos that I received via a text message. I do receive the yellow bubble alert telling me to download. After I hit the download button, it just hangs. I also attempted to send myself a photo from my work email address by mailing to [email protected] Again, I received the notification to download the photo and after hitting the download button--nothing! Am I doing something incorrectly? A setting to be made perhaps? FYI, I am running the latest update for the Charge.
Thx for the help!

Well since nobody here responded, I called Verizon Tech Support directly. I was instructed to remove the battery while leaving the power on (that's important--do NOT power off!). Then depress the power button in succession twenty (20) times. Replace the battery cover and power up as normal. All fixed!!! Thanks to "Julius" at VZW. Obviously, this is some type of reset sequence for the Charge.
Depress the power button 20 times with the battery still out or after putting the battery back in?

Accessing Yahoo! folders from Apple Mail

I already know how to synchronise my Yahoo! account with Apple Mail and it kinda work. I have a free Yahoo! mail account. I noticed on my iPod, its shows my custom folders and sent e-mails from the web. But on my Mac, Apple Mail does not show them. Just load all my e-mails from Inbox only. I want it to show my folders and sent e-mails from the web, just like my iPod.
Thank you.

No, YPOPS will not work, since it's for Windoze, not Mac. I haven't seen a solution for this, since Yahoo! seems to have effectively barred any workaround that I've heard about. Some EU countries prohibit Yahoo! from charging for this if your account was established before a certain date; otherwise you have to pay the fee like everyone else.
But for $19.99 per year for unlimited email storage and additional features, that's a really good deal. If you're adamantly opposed to paying for a good service, you can use Gmail, which is completely free, at least for now.

Trying to get different column headings for folders in Apple Mail - Help!

Hi there
I really hope someone can help here.
I have a few different email accounts coming into my Apple Mail program. For each account I am using a 'Saved' folder (for the incoming email i have read) and a 'Sent' folder (for the emails I have sent).
In my 'Saved' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. Who the email is from
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
In my 'Sent' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. The address I have sent to
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
The problem is that when I changed the column headings for one folder, it changes them for all of them. So I can display who my incoming emails are from, but in the sent folder, it only tells me who my sent emails are from....me!! This is no use at all. Is there anyway to apply different column headings to different folders? In Entourage this is easy, but Im at a loss of what to do in mail.
Please help if you can
Many thanks
Dan

as i said, Sent mailbox is special and can have custom columns separate from other mailboxes. ALL other mailboxes have the same columns and you can only customize them simultaneously. if you want to change that leave Apple feedback on the issue

Squirrelmail, IMAP folders, and Apple Mail

Squirrelmail as included with Mac OS X Server lets you remotely access your Inbox via a web-browser. It also automatically creates sub-folders to store drafts, sent, and trashed emails as done during a Squirrelmail session.
These have a folder structure like this
Inbox
...Drafts
...Sent
...Trash
When you look at this in Apple mail you will see a triangle next to your Inbox and turning it down reveals the same sub-folders.
The purpose of this posting, is that I believe this structure is not the same as the default Apple Mail structure and as such Apple Mail and Squirrelmail will not automatically be using the same IMAP folders to store drafts, sent and trash.
It is possible in Apple Mail to select one of these Squirrelmail created folders, and go to the Mailbox menu and select the "Use This Mailbox For..." command to make it the folder to use for that purpose. It is also possible to edit the Squirrelmail config.php file to adjust its settings which as default will be
$defaultfolderprefix = 'INBOX/';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
My question is what if any, would be a better setting for Squirrelmail so that Squirrelmail puts the folders in the right place for Apple Mail and uses the right names for Apple Mail so that an Apple Mail user does not have to change anything?
The benefit would be that rather each and every user having to alter the Apple Mail setup, I could do one edit of the config file for Squirrelmail and this would then apply forever for all users.

Ok, I may have worked out the answer myself.
Apple Mail in the Apple Mail program uses the folder names
Drafts
Sent
Trash
However it appears to use +on the server+
Drafts
Sent Messages
Deleted Messages
So it appears that in order to get Squirrelmail to match the settings Apple Mail uses and therefore save the Apple Mail user the hassle at their end you need to do two things.
1. Change the IMAP folder path in Squirrelmail from the default 'INBOX/' to '' (nothing)
2. Change the special IMAP folder names in Squirrelmail from the default to match Apple Mail
Therefore in the the Squirrelmail config.php you will go from the default
$defaultfolderprefix = 'INBOX/';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
to
$defaultfolderprefix = '';
$trash_folder = 'Deleted Messages';
$sent_folder = 'Sent Messages';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
which matches what Apple Mail is using.

View Duplicate Messages in Apple Mail 7.3 in Mavericks

Hello,
Up till at least OS X Lion, if there were duplicate email messages, there would be a blue link in the header of the message in Apple Mail that you could click on to reveal the duplicate messages.
Im currently running Mavericks and Apple Mail 7.3.
By default, there no longer seems to be any indication that there are duplicate messages?? Is that correct???
I have found the Terminal commands that will allow me to "ungroup" duplicate messages:
To disable automatic grouping of duplicate messages, quit Mail then run this command in Terminal:
          defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
To revert to the default setting, run this command:
     defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool false
or simply delete the setting altogether with this command:
          defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
If you want to see how Mail behaves with this setting enabled, but without modifying your preference file, start Mail from Terminal with this command:
          /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail -AlwaysShowDuplicates YES
These seem to work fine as far as listing the duplicate messages in the message list.
HOWEVER . . .
What I am wondering is . .
Is there no way to leave the duplicates "grouped" so there is only single entry in the message list BUT have the link in the header that indicates that there are duplicates and allow you to click on that link to reveal the duplicates in the message list???    I find having the link in the header easier to work with rather than having ALL of the duplicates ungrouped in the message list.
ALSO - for what it's worth:
I also tried setting the "Show Header Detail" option in Mail Preferences to "Custom" which includes an entry called "Duplicates" in the list of times displayed in the custom header but I still do not get any indication (that I can see) that there are duplicate messages . . .
Any ideas or experience with this????
John

I need help importing Thunderbird folders into Apple Mail. I can't locate the folder files for thunderbird. OS Mountain Lion.

I have been using Thunderbird as an email client, but recently realized Apple Mail is a really good alternative and would like to change. However, I would like to preserve my existing Thunderbird email history and folder structure in Apple Mail. Apple Mail includes an import Mailboxes process, but when I try, I cannot locate the files I want to import from Thunderbird. They appear to be hidden. I haven't been able to determine if OS 10 hides files and how to make them visible.

All of your TBird mail files are located in ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXX.default. The library folder is hidden in Mountain Lion by default. To make it visible open the terminal app in your utilities folder and type "chflags nohidden ~/Library" without the quotes.

How to view sub folders on Apple TV

I have Home Sharing turned on. I have a folder on my server that has my videos. I have sub folders in this make folder, such as Home Movies -> Kid 1 or Home Movies -> Kid 2.
When viewing these video files on my Apple TV's I see the content in the MAIN folder of Home Movies, however, I do NOT see my sub folders.
Is this possible? I like being neat and organized.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Nested folders aren't supported, try using workarounds such as TV shows, genres or playlists.
