Anyone know about AOL IMAP accounts through Mail app?

I think it used to be that mail in your inbox was automatically deleted two weeks after it was read, and new unread mail would stay in the inbox for 4 weeks? But read somewhere now it is limited to 1000 emails in an inbox, then senders get a message that your inbox is full. I was used to the auto delete system of AOL IMAP, so I let mail I didn't car about keeping just drop off after two weeks, but now I'm worried if I don't specifically delete email I don't want to keep, my inbox will fill up unncessarily. Anyone know the real scoop? Thanks!

I don't know the scoop on AOL's mail handling policy, but you could make a Rule that said If ALL of the following conditions are met: (1) Account is AOL, and (2) Date Received Is Greater Than 31 Days, Perform the Following Actions: Delete Message

From and subject field are blank using imap account in mail.app

Recently I changed my account from pop3 to imap.
If I retrieve mail with mail.app first normally I get proper headers displayed in the message list window.
If I READ the email on my iPhone 4 let alone respond to it, etc. and then go back to my mail.app all emails I chose to read, reply to, etc. have blank from, to, and subject lines in the message list window. They appear ok in the message window but not the message list window.
Some people have same issues, but I haven't found any respons to get this fixed!!
I hope someone can help me solving this problem.
Best wishes.
Simon

In the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced what have you selected with regard to Keep copies of messages and their attachments for Offline Viewing?
Also, does your provider's IMAP server support use of the IDLE Command? If getting push email on the iPhone, considered deselecting this if currently selected -- it can cause problems with servers not fully supporting it.
I think it may be useful to purge the Envelope Index file from the Mail folder. Force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.

Using only IMAP account with Mail app

Hello,
I am attempting to get the Windows 8.1 Mail App to allow me to configure only an IMAP email account as the primary account. I have enabled the Group Policy setting to allow to App to run without a Microsoft Account but when I open the mail account and try
to log in, it doesn't ask for incoming/outgoing servers, just one, and it will not accept either the IMAP or SMTP server that my organization runs. I am able to add the IMAP account if I first log in with a Microsoft account but since we already have domain
accounts, I do not want to have to set each user up with a Microsoft account. Is there a way to just configure an IMAP account for the Mail App or does is have to be Exchange or Microsoft?
Thanks!

when I open the mail account and try to log in, it doesn't ask for incoming/outgoing servers, just one, and it will not accept either the IMAP or SMTP server that my organization runs.
Hi,
I made a test in our testing enviroment, please just add a mail account you have, when added successfully, you can choose to add a new mail account, it contains the settings for IMAP you can choose.

Mutliple gmail imap accounts in Mail.app

I'm trying to set up my fiancée's gmail account in Mail as an imap where I have my own three email accounts set up (one of which is my gmail imap).
Mail won't have it, though all settings are in order per Mail's/Gmail's directions.
Is mail unable to have two different accounts that use the same imap/smtp servers?

I realise this doesn't answer your question as such, but have you considered setting up a separate user account for her (via System Preferences > Accounts) - that way at least neither of you will be able to accidentally delete each others email or send things from the wrong account etc.

TS3276 I cant send large attachment using my exchange account through Mail app while can do so through the website of the sever of the email account!!!

Any help?

Not a problem with Mail. I often send attachments of 8-10MB.
It IS your ISP.
Please don't fire off an answer like this when you alreay said you were "not familiar with exchange accounts". This actually has nothing to do with his ISP. The 8 - 10 mb files you send, I am assuming are not from exchange accounts, seeing as though you are not familiar with them.
In fact, this IS a problem with Mail. It has been going on for quite some time. It has to do with Mail interacting with MS exchange 2007 servers.

Help With Hooking Up A Google Apps Mail Account With Mail.app v 4.4?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this, basically I'm at university, and my university E-mail account is set up through google apps. It looks like this "[email protected]", and I'd like to be able to access this account through Mail.app, but I'm struggling to get the two to play nice, does anyone know what incoming and outcoming settings I need to use to get it to work, or if there's any settings I need to alter in Gmail itself first?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help anyone can give me.
Sam

Sorry, sorted it, just had to fill it all out like a normal IMAP Gmail account but fill out my entire email address anytime it asked for a username.

I have 2 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts in Mail.....

I have 2 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts in Mail 6.2 (1499), how do I ensure they all leave messages on the server?
I was trying to check with my ISP why they were not sending me notice of my monthly bill. They said they were, and gave me the dates of when the missing ones were sent. They went to check my inbox so that they could re-send the offending messages and said there were no messages there! Hence my question, How do I make sure that messages are left on the server? I have looked in Mail/Preferences, and certainly in the POP accounts the Remove copy from Server is unchecked, on the IMAP accounts, there doesn't appear to be a means of leaving on the server, which, in essence, shouldn't worry me because they are different ISP addresses, (1 = icloud and the other is BT.) and only the one address of the POP account is the one the ISP is sending messages to me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I have, indeed, checked with my ISP and they do accept imap accounts. So I followed religiously their instructions, published in their setting e mail information for Mountain Lion website. The instructions were quite simple, and choosing imap was as easy as setting POP mail. however, the net result was that I could never connect with the servers to do anything with the mail. I know they are set up correctly, but when it tried to send mail, after a while an error message came up saying that it couldn't connect and gave me the option of dealing with a "connection doctor" or some such system. This I clicked on and noted that there were an awful lot of servers that it was trying to connect to some of which had been removed when I removed the setup addresses. The ones I wanted were, in fact, showing as connected!! It was obviously checking on anything that had been used in setting a server name from way back when and suffering with a severe bout of indigestion!
I think what really needs to happen is to get iMAC/Mountain Lion to regurgitate all that rubbish which is no longer a requirement, since I am only using three addresses, one from icloud and two from my ISP. I do not need the clogging up from redundant server names, but it seems that the MAC hangs on to everything just in case I may want to go back to them rather than set them from afresh!! I am not feeling too confident in trying to set the address that originally showed the problem, my BT one, and since this morning, it is almost working 100%, I'll leave well alone and see if it settles down. (One step forward and nineteen backwards!!)

Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
some geek here must have solved it - come on!

How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

Thanks Barney-15E: I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

Restore the phone using iTunes. First time restore your backup. If the problem is not fixed restore again, and this time set up as New.
