Accidentally have 2 inbox / sets of folders

I somehow have created 2 sets of folders in Outlook 2010.  One seems to be the current default and has a set of folders under the heading 'outlook' ( has inbox, drafts, sent items etc.).  The other is under a heading 'Mailbox - my name' as also
has the same named folders.  My Contacts and Calendar are all in the 'Mailbox - my name' folder.  My emails seem to now be in the top folder (Outlook).  The 'my name' inbox seems to have stopped getting new emails a week ago and I could empty
it.  My android phone has 'TouchDown' and now shows my calendar but not my emails, and my reminders and task show up on the phone but not on my desktop!  I have been trying to reduce the size of folders and then upgraded from Outlook 2007 to Outook
2010 and used the comcast 'autodiscover' feature on the desktop (Comcast business account links to an exchange server from them).  So -- I am guessing I should empty the 'my name' mailbox but wonder if I should then try to move the calendar and contacts
to the 'Outlook' folder or vice-versa.  Argh -- I hate it when I screw up like this and any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks - Scott

  • I am a new CC user. Very satisfied.  I just d/l the CC 2014 upgrades.  now I have 2 sets of folders.  Can I uninstall the older version. or do I have to leave it on this machine ?

    I am a new CC user. Very satisfied.  I just d/l the CC 2014 upgrades.  now I have 2 sets of folders.  Can I uninstall the older version. or do I have to leave it on this machine ?

    Understand the uninstall process BUT ...
    Looking at the size of the previous versions vs. the CC 2014 versions, it seems that these newer (2014) versions are smaller in size ... with the exception of SpeedGrade.
    What I have installed so far:
    AE CC = 2.66gb
    AE CC 2014 = 2.03gb
    AU CC = 900mb
    AU CC 2014 = 678mb
    AI CC = 1.81gb
    AI CC 2014 = 907mb
    PS CC = 3.79gb
    PS CC 2014 = 1.99gb
    PR CC = 3.87gb
    PR CC 2014 = 1.54gb
    SG CC = 206mb
    SG CC 2014 = 709mb
    I hope this is right and the downloads didn't leave out anything!! If the programs are lighter, that's a good thing.
    So, is this right?!
    And is it alright to Uninstall the previous versions? (I don't have any plugins, add-on's, etc...)

  • How would I create a set of folders in the /tmp directory using AS?

    I have a set of folders that whenever I restart my machine they get removed (they're in the /tmp directory as they are temporary cache files).
    Right now I'm manually re-creating those folders whenever I restart.
    So how could I automatically create the set of folders on startup?
    I need to create:
    /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
    /tmp/fcgi_ipc/dynamic/
    I figure I can create an bit of AppleScript and set it to run on startup...but I'm totally clueless on exactly what that AppleScript needs to be.
    I've tried various "make new folder at ____" but nothing is cutting it.

    Consider ...
    set base_Path to "/private/var/tmp/" -- path to 'tmp' folder.
    set base_Folder to "fcgi_ipc" -- Desired base folder.
    set sub_Folder to "dynamic" -- Sub-folder of base folder.
    try -- Try handles 'folder already exists' error.
    do shell script ("mkdir " & base_Path & base_Folder) -- Create base folder.
    end try
    try -- Try handles 'folder already exists' error.
    do shell script ("mkdir " & base_Path & base_Folder & "/" & sub_Folder) -- Create sub-folder.
    end try
    ... Naturally, you can hard code it, as well ...
    try -- Try handles 'folder already exists' error.
    do shell script ("mkdir /private/var/tmp/fcgi_ipc/") -- Create base folder.
    end try
    try -- Try handles 'folder already exists' error.
    do shell script ("mkdir /private/var/tmp/fcgi_ipc/dynamic/") -- Create sub-folder.
    end try
    ... or ...
    do shell script ("mkdir -p /private/var/tmp/fcgi_ipc/dynamic/") -- Create all folders at once.

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

  • In my Thunderbird I have 2 inboxes and deleted folders, 1 set in local folders 1 set above. How do I get back to only having one inbox and one deleted folders.

    I have one account in my Thunderbird mail. Some days ago I discovered I had two inboxes and two deleted folders. One set appears in the list at the lefthandside above local folders and the other set is under local folders. My outbox also appears under local folders.
    I have deleted or moved all the mail entris in the inbox which appears under local folders.
    How do I delete the superfluous inbox and deleted folders? How do I move the outbox so it appears above the local folders in the list? Many thanks for your help.

    Surely as I only have one account, I should only have one inbox. How does my POP mail decide into which inbox to put my incoming mail? The two inbox icons have the downward pointing arrow. One inbox is the first entry in the list (below my email address) and the second is the first entry below local folders.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders???

    Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders and not duplicated in the photo library???

    Not sure about the missing photos from the Photo Stream section of 'Recent', however to stop photos populating the events, turn off Automatic Import (iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream)

    Hi Lhughes0,
    Try these steps:
    1. Select the .jpeg file
    2. Right click on that  file and on context menu go to the last option which says "Properties"
    3. Now you will see the option where you change the program to use for opening your file
    4. Instead of Adobe Reader select Windows Photo there.
    5. Apply and say OK to it
    Give it a try

  • Setting up folders in mail for iphone 4 & a grumble or two

    So i have this new iphone 4 and I am having difficulties setting up folders inside my inbox.  For example I would like to set up folders for Junk Mail and Read It Later but I don't want to set up another email account to do so.
    Almost all of my settings on my iphone are by accident not design, lol.
    And even though I have rung the apple service centre on numerous occassions:
    my iphone has turned itself off because it overheated and I was told by apple technical support to turn the phone off at night!!!
    and it wants recharging after five hours of continuous use;
    so - I am having serious issues with Apple actually calling the iphone4 a "mobile".
    End of grumble.
    If anyone can help me with the folder setup in mail, I would appreciate it.

    The ability to create folders in the mail app is dependent on the type of email account that you have. It is not quite like Outlook where you can set up local folders no matter what type of account you have. The iPhone email client does not support the creation of folders if you are using a POP account. Only if you are using Exchange or IMAP, as those are created on the server side. The overheating issue sounds as if something is stuck running since it is running the battery down that fast. However, it makes me want to question what you mean by 5 hours of continuous use. Do you mean using for 5 hours straight, or it being in standby for a period of time as well?

  • Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profil

    Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
    OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
    and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
    I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
    What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
    or programs.
    What can I do?

    The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
    file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
    Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
    was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
    Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
    1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
    2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
    3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
    4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
    5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode
