Maverick mail, new folders

why do I have so many new folders in mail? On my mac, there's junk (gmail), junk (icloud), junk (my pop account), plus I have a junkmail folder in each account folder, there's a deleted message folder in each account, and then there's also trash in each folder. What's the difference between trash and deleted messages? What's the folder in Gmail called "important"?! why is the gmail "in box" moved? Why do I get hundreds of multiples of a message I've written saved in trash? It seems like it saves a copy every 2 seconds?

To my knowledge what shows up for POP3 accounts is what the ISP provides. You can't created local folders for POP 3 accounts since local POP3 accounts do not sync with the server, they just download (and deleted it specified). It sounds like your ISP has added a bulk mail folder and it now appears on your iPad. I do not know why they appear in only one account. Is there any difference (besides the address) in the accounts from the same ISP?

Mavericks Mail App and Gmail folders

I have installed Mavericks on my MBA. Now in the mail app, when I drag messages from the inbox to a gmail folder, they leave the inbox. But if I click off of the inbox and then click back on it - they reappear in the inbox.
Anyone else having this problem?

This is one of the largest bugs in Mavericks’ Mail app, which affects Gmail accounts and Google Apps email accounts. This used to work just fine in previous versions of OS X, so it is a brand new problem in Mavericks:
Mail can’t delete messages from the Inbox unless Google’s “All Mail” folder is visible in Apple Mail. If you try to delete a message from the inbox, the message only disappears temporarily, then reappears moments later. It seems like Apple Mail never removes the “Inbox” label from the deleted messages, so the messages just keep reappearing back in the Inbox over & over again.
The workaround is not a desirable one: It requires the user to make Google's “All Mail” folder visible to IMAP clients (via Gmail's "Settings>Labels” page). However, this workaround is not desirable because of 2 bigger problems:
(1) Making the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail will suddenly make dozens of gigabytes of emails start taking up valuable hard drive space, because every single email that has ever been archived on Gmail/Google Apps will suddenly be written to the Mac’s hard drive. This can be a real problem on a machine with a small hard drive, such as the MacBook Air. Hiding the “All Mail” folder prevents these messages from taking up valuable hard drive space. Not to mention that all of these messages are DUPLICATES OF MESSAGES THAT ALREADY APPEAR in other IMAP folders, so showing the "All Mail" folder in Mail is absolutely pointless.
(2) Whenever the “All Mail” folder is visible, every new message that comes into the “inbox" also shows up as a new message in the “All Mail” folder as well, so new messages appear like they are coming in twice. Also, users are forced to mark their messages as “read" in two locations: the “Inbox" AND the “All Mail” folder.
The ideal solution would be for Mail to operate how it used to operate: Users should be able to delete messages from the Inbox, without having the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail.
Please report this bug to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback and hopefully they will fix it in a software update soon!

Creating new folders in Mail

Greetings..
How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)
D.
Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

I am trying to set up new folders under another e-mail in my inbox. The folder names are not displaying under the e-mail name. How can I get them to appear?

In my mail program on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get new folders to appear / be listed under a second e-mail account. They show up at the bottom of the window but not at the top as do the other folders in the initial e-mail account. How can I get my folders to appear?

- It does not make any difference what ID was used for setup.
- I would delete the email account from the iPod and then Goog for how to set up the account for yur particular provider. Example is: setup earthlink email on iphone
YOU can also go to your provider's support site and they should have instructions.

How do you create new folders in Mail?

How are new folders created in the Mail application?

If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP type account then at the top of the list of the folders that you've currently got in the account there should be an Edit button. If it's a POP account then you can't create additional folders

How do I create new folders in my mail?

How do I create new folders to divide and save my mail into catergories?

Hi Tina
Two ways to do this:
1 in Mail, go the tool bar at the top of the screen, select Mailbox, then select New Mailbox in the menu.
2 in Mail, go the lefthand column, and at the bottom left you should see a plus sign and a cogwheel icon. Click on the plus sign and a new, untitled, mailbox will appear in the column above. Name this as you like.
You can "nest" mailboxes inside other mailboxes (eg inside a box I called "personal" I have individual mailboxes for each of my family and friends).
Then simply drag messages from your inbox to the appropriate mailbox in the lefthand column when you want to archive them.
Hope this helps!

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

Mail Not Sorting new Folders Added Alphbetically

Hello! I have tons of sub folders in my inbox, and I would like it to sort them all alphabetically. This was all fine, but recently the last 6 folders I added to the list were appended to the bottom of the list, and not sorted alphabetically with the rest of the sub folders. Is there anyway I can reapply the sort alphabetically feature to the folder list? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1) Closed and restarted Mail App
2) Restarted Computer
3) Added another new folder and it is still appended to bottom of list even after all the reboots
4) Mail is confirmed to work
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure, but I suspect the new Snow Leopard feature ...
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html#mail
... that lets you move folders around manually might be what's causing the weird behavior.
In Leopard, you could move a folder inside another folder but, otherwise, they would always stay in alphabetical order, I think.
Anyways, in Snow Leopard (and Leopard for that matter), there's an invisible file around ~/Library/Mail/<name of your email account>/.mboxCache.plist It seems to keep a list of the mboxes in that folder/account. In Snow Leopard, the first time you manually move an mbox out of alphabetical order, a new key called MailboxDisplayOrder seems to get created in that plist for all the existing "non-special" (i.e. not INBOX, Sent, Drafts, etc.) mboxes in that folder. Once that key exists, it seems like new folders get appended to the end of the order.
I don't know the right way to fix the problem though. I'm really just posting my observations, based on what I'm seeing on my computer. I'd be very careful about manually messing with invisible files in your mail, especially if you don't have a good backup. (No idea if you can restore an invisible file with Time Machine.) A lot of this is guesswork. But I thought maybe it'd help someone.
Later,

HT201320 How do I make new folders in mail?

How do I make new folders in mail?

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

HT6030 Mail attachment folders after latest Mavericks Mail update

Following the latest Mavericks Mail update, does anyone know how to stop a new folder being generated for each attachment?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

Making new folders in Mail

I would like to know how to make new folders in my yahoo mail account.
Thank You.

just to clarify, when i said that i can open individual emails in the inbox folder, i mean the inbox folders in library/mail, not within the Mail application where i want it to work.

Maverick on new macbook pro and mail is absurdly slow

I upgraded to maverick on new macbook pro and mail is unusable. Does anyone know how to fix this. Very slow and not responsive at all. Wheel of death always spinning.

Hi brooklynbridge,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps in it that may help if the Mail app is running slowly in Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, move files to another disk, then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk. Increase disk space
Quit any apps you’re not using.
Use Disk Utility to verify and fix any issues with your hard disk. If you have problems with your disk
Use Activity Monitor to see if a particular app or activity is making a large demand on your Mac.
Cheers,

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
Thank you.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

> The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
> I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
> I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.
> It is definitely not a case of my inbox not being expanded.
> I have tried running in safe mode with addons disabled and toolbars reset, but it still doesn't work.
> I opened up the subscribe box, and the folders do not appear there to be subscribed too - which leads me to believe they aren't being created in the first place.
Please help - I have run out of ideas of what to do or try. Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks for you response.
1. Account Type is IMAP.
2. The email account is hosted through my hosting package with domains.co.za. What details do your require?
Here is a link to the current thunderbird email configuration details: http://codeyoda.co.za/rossco/thunderbird-email-config.pdf
