ATT e-mail on the iPad 3

On the first iPad I had the ability to set up folders in mail for my AT&T email (i.e. [email protected]). I now have an iPad 3 and when I migrated my information continued to have the folders. Then I had an issue which I mistakenly tried to correct by deleting and setting up my mail again. When I did this I lost the ability to set up folders in my email. I've read that you cannot set up folders for POP accounts, but don't understand why I previously could add folders.
Any ideas? If there is not a method to create folders, this is a serous shortcoming for the iPad.
Thank you.

If memory serves me, the ability to create folders in mail didn't happen until iOS 5. Original iPad didn't come with iOS 5. The folders you had must have been created on your home computer, then when set up on iPad, were viewable. Since I don't have AT&T mail, the best suggestion I can offer is to contact AT&T directly and ask them how to set up mail as exchange on iPad.

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

If you're fortunate enough to have an ISP that also has mail via Microsoft Exchange, you can kill the original account and re-create it as an Microsoft Exchange account. That will bring whatever folders you have set up in the mail's webmail app across to your iPad.
The only downside is that you can only have one Exchange account, so if you already have one set up, you're stuck. But Frontier has my Internet business, so I was able to set up my second account via Exchange. It's not perfect, but it works.
It's a way to get by until they figure out that POP limitation... :-)

Can I add folders to mail on the iPAD?

Just loaded 4.2.1 on my ipad. The mail only has in,sent and trash boxes. Can I add other boxes or folders to be able to sort my mail as I do on my mac.

I do not think so. You could not with iOS 3.2.2 and I do not think that changed and can't find any way to do it in the revised Users Guide. However, if it is an IMAP account a lot of times if the folder exist on another computer or webmail they will appear on the iPad. That is not true for an POP3 account.

Mail on the iPad

Today on my iPad I tried to respond to an e-mail. After clicking send, this message appeared:
"A copy of this has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message has failed because you exceeded your sending limit."
This has never happened before. In the iPad settings I deleted all sent messages. In iCloud settings I see no control for resetting my sending limit. How do I correct or adjust my sending limit?

Maybe your email is hacked and used for spamming.

When I set up my e-mail on the ipad, it gives me only the imap and not pop. How do I get the choice of imap or pop

Can someone help me set up my pop3 e-mail account on ipad? When I set it up as indicated, I should get both imap or pop, but I get only the imap. How do I change it to pop?

Instead of using the large preset account settings icons (Google, AOL, Yahoo, etc), use the "Other" option on the bottom. You'll have to enter more info manually, but, if offered by your service provider, you can choose between IMAP and POP by the settings you provide.

How do I change the account name in Mail on the iPad?

I Am setting up my new iPad mini running iOS 8.1.
other her mail accounts I have set up show the account name as the email address but when I set up my iCloud account the account name simply says "icloud".
It is a bit confusing because there are other iCloud's mail accounts set up that just list it by email address.
Does anyone know know how to change the displayed account name in Mail?

Hi Gabe Hamrick,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can change the Description field of your iCloud email account so that it displays what you want. Follow the steps in the article below to get into you Mail settings. However, in step 3 instead of adding an account, you should already see your iCloud account showing in the Accounts section of the screen.
Add an email account on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201320
1. Tap Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap on your iCloud account. On the next screen, tap on your (name)@icloud.com email address to the right of the word Account. Change the Description field to whatever you want to display. Tap Done in the upper-right corner.
I hope this information helps ....

Trying to send to an existing group mail on the ipad or iphone

On my imac I use a group in address book to quickly send emails to 60 customers.
The group exists on my ipad but I when I type in the group name nothing happens.
I asked in the Apple store but when they tried the same thing using an iphone-- same problem.
It seems this capability has been omitted or am I not doing something correctly.
If it has been omitted please put in the next update.

MailShot does work fine and, unlike most others, creates the groups in Mail and works from that app Instead of from a separate and dedicated one. It actually does about the same thing that you have to do to create group equivalents in MobileMe Mail, which also doesn't play with groups. Apple's reasoning here is consistent, if obscure.
It's a bit tedious to set the groups up in the app, and it just barely misses being able to jigger around your existing groups so that they can be used as is. And, of course, you have to upgrade if you need more than three groups.

Why has mail on the ipad grouped several emails from different people with different subject matter into one thread?

This is really annoying.
The email initially started with me sending to one person. Which we then conversed several times without any issues.
I then sent a separate email completely unrelated to someone on a completely different email address, but when they replied back somehow their reply joined the same thread as this other email i sent initially.
Thinking that it might be a one of... I ignored it.
However, just now, an email i created through the LinkedIn app, which i sent from LinkedIn to a contact, somehow joined that first thread, when the person on linked in replied back to me.
Obviously i receive an email to my Mail account whenever someone messages me on linked in... But why on earth would that reply automatically get grouped into the completely different thread of emails?
I NOW have emails to three different people who are completely unrelated with three completely unrelated subjects, that are appearing in one thread with no obvious way to separate these.
Any solutions or suggestions? I've tried to move them, but it will only let me move the the messages into different folders, and not my inbox as separate messages.

Hi Anya!
Thanks for the response. Regarding your question, Yes, I have confirmed that people were receiving multiple copies.
I've confirmed this as I had left a Gmail message open on my browser window and opened that same message from Mail: As I was writing the response from Mail, without sending anything, new notifications started to appear over the same message in the browser window, notifying me there were new messages from Myself! So when I started to open those "new replies", I came to the conclusion that as I was typing, a draft was being saved and sent as a new message at the same time, therefore sending a lot of emails until I finished to write the message without knowing...
Hard to explain but hope I've made my point.
Thanks!

In Mail on the iPad, is there an easy way to place emails in the junk file like on the iMac?

Is there an easy way to place emails received on my iPad into a junk file like you can do on the iMac by using a junk icon to stop certain emails from reoccuring?

You would need to first set up a junk folder, once that is done, when you are previewing message there is an icon on top of a folder with an arrow inside it, tap on it, this is the move action, in the folder list that now appears tap on the junk folder.

HT201320 I can only find one of the 2 email names on the ipad mail screen

My wife and I both have Aol accounts. we both can get aol mail on the Ipad. The problem is only one of our user names shows up on the mail selection screen

Ok, It appears that my wife's email is entitled AOL and my account shows my AOL user name. I guess what I would like is to rename the word AOL with her actual user name as it does mine.
