Can I copy an iPad email message to a folder?

In "Mail" on my home computer, I can copy messages to a local (on this MAC) folder, which leaves them intact in the Inbox on the IMAP server, so that I can "see them" in the inbox when I am at my office computer. The folders on my home and office computers are the type that are on the computer irself and not the IMAP server for security reasons, to have extra "back-up" copies if needed, and because I save different types of messages in the 2 locations. In iPad "Mail" it appears that the only option is to "move" a message to a folder. This moves it out of the inbox, so it will not appear in the inbox when I open "Mail" on my home or office computer. The iPad folders are ones that I created on the IMAP server using my home computer and then synced to my iPad, (which also as far as I could tell is the only way to create folders on iPad "Mail" until OS5 comes along). These folders would be visible to me at my office, but I would have to remember to look in the folder to copy the message to a "local folder", instead of just being able to copy it from my inbox. One workaround is to never store an email in an iPad folder until I have copied it on the other computers. But, since I often get to the email first on my iPad, especially while traveling, I would prefer to just copy messages to the IMAP folders if it is possible. Is there a "copy message to" option for iPad "Mail"?

I do the same thing - leave the email in the inbox and mark it as unread. There is no "copy to" option in the iPad Mail App. As you stated, you can move the messages to other folders that you have in your account. There may be third party mail apps that let you do what you want to do but not in the Mail App.
This is from a very quick Google search simply to let you know there are alternatives to the mail app.

I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4

Hi,
I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4. This sync only complete account setting but not email message.
Can anybody help me to fix the problem?

You can't "fix" this problem because you can't sync email messages from the Mac mail app, you can only sync your email account settings. Messages will not sync using iTunes.

Delete your account and start fresh. You should be able to see the downloads on a fresh install.

Can't get sound on emails, messages and alerts on iPad 1

My iPad doesn't have sound onr emails, messages or alerts

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Is there a way to avoid a iPlanet Messaging Express home user to copy from the email message ( email content ) body and paste on to a local place( it Hard disk, for an ex )?

Is there a way to avoid a iPlanet Messaging Express home user to copy and paste email body content and avoid attachment deliver attempts?Cause this could grant home users to take ownership of enterprise's documents, sending to them selves and after that, in their own homes, they access Messaging Express, recieve their email with the forbbiden content and then copy and paste to it's own's hard disk.

It may be possible, but then what would prevent the user from running a "screen grabber" to capture the data. The underlying question that you need to ask is, "Who can you trust?" If you're concerned about confidential documents being stolen/disclosed, then that is where your security starts. If someone can't access a document, they can't E-mail it or transport it elsewhere. Who says they can only use E-mail? Using ftp is more efficient, or a floppy/Zip/Jazz drive could also be used. Trying to "secure" the E-mail client would be like plugging a single hole in a water pipe full of leaks. You have to shut off the water at the source.

HT201269 How can I backup all my email messages from my ipad2 to my mac. iTunes does not transfer all the sent / received mail.

Hi,
I damaged my ipad and saved a backup using iTunes while it was away for repair.
I used another ipad while it was away, but none of my email messages sent or received had been saved.
How do I backup my email ?

hi, not totally, as when the N8 died, the shop here in France couldn't really do much to help and more like didn't want to do much to help, and transferred what data was available from the sim to the mini sim on the apple. Now looking in depth, Windows Contact is an 'orrible application that is not very easy to handle (Windows Address Book is no longer available for anything above Vista and is all tied into Windows Live and things to do with Hotmail and Messenger..... Gatesy is trying to dominate things again..... WOZ HELP!!)
Sony have worked alongside Apple for a long time, so with a new 12/2012 Experia smartphone, the transfer details are a doddle, but now that Nokia has succombed to being part of the Dark Side (MS) and offering windows phones only, I can understand the retiscence of our late leader and his "heavenly crew" of having to deal with the Dark Side

How can I copy my local emails to icloud?

With drag and drop some emails get loss and aren't copied to icould. (Error Message: "Message contains NUL characters“ and the transfer stopps...)
I have thousands of emails and can't copy one by one...
Does someone of you have the same problem? Is a solution for this problem?
Many thanks in advance

The cloud doesn't do website hosting. You need to publish your site via the iWeb FTP or to a local folder and upload to a hosting account...

Can't copy or move email addresses when composing an email??!?!?!?!

If I am composing an email and the email address is already encased in the "blue bubble" is there any way to copy / cut / paste the text string of the email address contained within the blue bubble?
I can highlight the blue bubble email address by tapping it.... I can unhighlight it by tapping it again. Or I can backspace and delete the email address bubble. Aside from that I've tried everything and can't figure out how to copy that email address in the bubble.
Why this would be useful:
I want to easily copy/paste/move particular email recipients from the "to:" field to the "CC:" field
Or, I want to copy the email address encased in that blue bubble, and paste into my Contacts, or into a SMS text message.
Seems like a major oversight.
Help Thanks

Do you get the option to replace the "existing" one with the one you are moving? What kind of folders and what kind of photos?

Can't delete an old email message on my iPhone, it also shows 2 new emails that aren't present

My iPhone shows 2 new email messages in my inbox but there are none. It also has an email from January of 2012 that I can't delete. I think it may be somehow related to sync'ing with my Exchange account but don't know how to resolve. Anyone else have these problems and discover how to resolve them?
Many thanks,
-Paul.

Turn off the Caps lock. That is considered yelling on the Internet and is very rude, plus it is very difficult to read.
Who is your email provider? It sounds like you have an IMAP account and it is functioning just the way it is supposed to.

Why can't I get my email messages when i'm away from home?

My Blackberry gets emails when i'm at home via our wireless network, but when I'm away from home, I don't get any email messages or text messages at all. We have both the home WiFi wireless network "on" and the Mobile Network is on. What should I do so I can get emails when I'm away from home?

Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve. While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.
