Can't create mailboxes in iOS6 Mail

I found the following in another thread, but it doesn't work for me. Don't know why.
Go into Mail app, click the back button in the upper left hand corner under you see all your mailboxes.
If its an IMAP account, you will also see a section under all your inboxes, go into there, and click EDIT.
Create anew mailbox button appears at the bottom (iOS6)
I have an iPad4 with multiple eMail accounts, some IMAP, one of them POP. Following the above instructions, there's an EDIT button to the right of the word "Mailboxes". Clicking on it it changes to "Done" but nothing else changes on the screen. Clicking on any of the right arrows next to any of the accounts produces an EDIT button that presents three buttons at the bottom, "Delete," "Move," and "Mark." The Move button gives me the option to put it in the Trash. I'm missing something.

To create a screenshot - hold down on the sleep/power button and while holding down on it - tap and hold down on the Home Button until you see the screen flash white and you hear the sound of a camera shutter go off. The screenshot will be automatically saved to the Camera Roll of the Photos App.
Let me preface my steps here with this .... Gmail on the iPad works a little bit differently than other email accounts. Gmail has an archive option for one. What I am describing here should work with an IMAP email account on your iPad.
Launch the Mail App and go to the Mailboxes view - the view where you can see all of your email accounts. Select your email account here.
In the next window - you should see an Edit Button at the top of the window next to the name of the email account. Tap on the Edit Button.
After you tap Edit - you should see a New Mailbox Button at the bottom - Tap New Mailbox.
The you will see a window where you can Name the Mailbox and Save the new Mailbox. Name the mailbox. You can choose the location of the new mailbox with some limitations - experiment with it and see what works for you. Then tap on the Save Button at the top.
When you are finished - tap the blue Done Button at the top of the window that you see in the 3rd screenshot.

  • Can't create folders with IMAP/Mail.App!

    Can anyone offer any insights? I'm unable to create subfolders on my iphone/IMAP account.
    I'm using an AOL IMAP account. When I go to Mailbox Behaviors on my iPhone, I'm unable to select anything other than "On My iphone." On the AOL account, I can create a folder--no problem--but my Mail.app program doesn't ever see it. Then, when I try to create a folder in Mail.app, I get an error message: "Imap command "create" failed. The server error encountered was: CREATE failed: Can't create outside of saved."
    Emails in the inbox are working fine, synching between iphone and Mail--but, sent, drafts, and deleted emails aren't synched, and I can't create subfolders.
    Any ideas?

    on your iphone you might need to go into settings > mail then choose the imap account and tap on the advanced button at the bottom. Near the bottom of this screen you can set the imap path prefix.
    Hope this helps.

  • Creating mailboxes (folders) for Mail

    I have synched the settings from my Mail account on my desktop machine to my new iPod touch, but none of the mailboxes have carried over. There seems to be no way to create mailboxes directly on the iPod touch. I created a new mailbox on the desktop Mail as an experiment, and then synched, but that didn't carry over either. Yet the iPod touch instructions definitely state that you can organize your mail "from one mailbox or folder to another".

    I think this really is only the case for IMAP email not POP. The synchronization done between the iPod touch and the Mac synchronizes the settings, not the mail folders. I use IMAP and all of my folders are accessible through my iPod just as they are through web interfaces or Mail.
    You can convert from POP to IMAP if your email server will allow it.
    Let me know if this helps and if you need to know more.

  • How can I create subfolders in Mac Mail for an Exchange account?

    I use Mac Mail on OS X 10.8.4 to download my Exchange mail, which is hosted on Office 365.
    I can create folders inside existing subfolders in my Inbox, but if I try to create one as a first-level subfolder of the Inbox the option does not exist. Instead, it creates another top level folder and puts it at the bottom of the folder list, not inside the Inbox.
    Can anyone tell me how to add a normal subfolder to my Inbox?

    Exchange Basics
    The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.
    Exchange checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced. Since Exhange has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting. The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.
    Keep your folders under the 2GB limit. That's approx 6-10K messages per folder (does not include subfolders) Outlook does not export folders over 2GB as .mbox files
    Exchange  Header
    Inbox
      Folder A  <---this is wrong
    Drafts
    Deleted Items folder
    Junk
    Folder A  <-- this is correct
    It's best to move folders using your web interface (OWA) but you can drag in Outlook and/or Mail.
    In Browser via OWA
    Because of the massive changes the process is best done in your browser. I would also put Mail into work offline mode during this process. After all is moved on the server via the browser, I would delete the Exchange account and let it all download correctly from the server.

  • Can you create a pdf e-mail attachment with working hyperlinks?

    I'm trying to figure out how to generate an e-mail with working hyperlinks where the recipient doesn't have to open the pdf for the links to work...in other words, when they open the e-mail and view the pdf as it is displayed, the links are visible and the viewer can click on them and go to a URL. I see this all the time, and can't figure out how to do it with a pdf (I've added the links with the link took in pdf and they display within the application window, but disappear when the file is an e-mail attachment) or with html. I've attached the pdf that I'm trying to make interactive within an e-mail message. Any help that can be provided is much appreciated!

    Michael your answer is colored by the fact you use an ASCII (Text only) News Reader.
    The answer is more along these lines:
    PDF's can be created with working hyperlinks.
    They can be automatically be brought over from programs such as MS Word, Open Office, and such  provided your on a PC Platform
    they can actually be viewed and clickable from Acrobat or Reader PC Versions, if created from a PC Version.
    they are not viewable or clickable if created from Mac version of Office.
    They are viewable and clickable from a PC if created from Mac version of Office (Word/Excel)
    The Mac can can not do so automatically you must do them Manually with in Acrobat.
    in Past it has been a Pain to do so though may be different in version 9
    If you use a browser Plugin such as Schubert's PDF Browser Plugin that works on Safari, fireFox, Camino, SeaMonkey Opera, OmniPage, iCab. Links you create in Mac version of Acrobat are viewable and clickable.
    Finally MS and Adobe have been having this on going problem since the day's PDF's first hit the market. (Version 1.) and MS  decided to support them. The hooks are there for both PC and Mac versions of Word. and either are capable of being created and acted upon on whether created by the Mac version of Office, or the PC version of Office, but only on a windows PC. Its clearly a problem of Acrobat/Reader on the Mac. Its either a problem Adobe won't own up to, or they can't solve or, this is one item they can't be bothered with to put in the Mac Versions.
    Some of this information is based on my participation in the msnews. nntp newsgroups for Office Mac. The experts there for the most part (MVP's) use both Mac and PC's and have investogated the problem themselves and been give information from the MacBU (Mac Business Unit) at MicroSoft. The basic internal code of Office 2003/2004 is the same. The UI is different and key cobinations are different. And same for 2007/2008 except office 2008 don't support VBA and Macros, and neither 2004 nor 2008 have MasterPages, And thankfully according the the MVP's Thankfully the Robbonis not supported on 2008.

    Hi MarcoB1,
    Sorry to hear the frustration you have been having since your update. Have you tried visiting http://email.nokia.com on your nokia browser, then download and replace the nokia messaging app?
    Alternetively could you follow these steps and report back if it works:
    Start the normal process by clicking create new mail box
    The terms will be shown
    Select start, which will say preparing for setup
    It will ask for which connection to continue setup...( gprs connection select to always ask)
    CANCEL THE SETUP.
    Message will pop up saying unable to contact the server.
    Automatically a box will appear with the symbol '@' 
    Type in any [email protected]
    any [email protected]
    (do not give your actual email id yet)
    Next page
    Check the account name
    Goto server type and select IMAP4 instead of POP3
    Incoming mail server
    for yahoo
    imap.mail.yahoo.com
    outgoing
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    For gmail
    Incoming
    imap.gmail.com
    Outgoing
    smtp.gmail.com
    Save this setting and the mailbox will be created
    once created select options goto settings/mailbox settings
    Correct the account details
    Enter correct email ID
    Goto advanced settings at the bottom > Incoming settings
    Correct the email ID for the outgoing and check to see if all details are correct.
    Now go back and connect, but select the gprs connection
    Hope this helps or at least aids you in solving your issue.

  • Can't create Calendar Event from Mail on my iPad anymore

    I no longer can create a new iPad Calendar Event from tapping on a date in email I receive.  The new Event dialog box will still appear when I click on the date in an email, but the dialog box is now too small and off-center, hiding the Done button in the upper right corner of the Dialog. Without the Done button, I can't create the new Calendar Event.  I can't resize the dialog box, or re-center it. 
    Is this a common problem after the latest iOS update?  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    This still works for me in iOS 6.1.3
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • GMAIL IMAP PROBLEM (can't duplicate mailbox in apple mail)

    I am seriously at my wits end! It has been about a week and I am still having huge problems with my gmail imap account in apple mail. At first, my sent messages were not being imported into apple mail (only about 30 days work). After a bunch of fiddling and trying to fix the problem (deleting the account in apple mail, rehooking up the account, rebuilding the mailbox, switching off IMAP enabling in gmail) the problem has only gotten worse.
    Now, only 1000 emails from gmail are sent into apple mail. I know there is a setting within the gmail prefs to limit the amount of messages in an imap folder 1000 but, I have that turned OFF.
    As of right now my apple mail shows about 1000 messages in my inbox and 250 or so in my sent mail. None of the mail is from before 12/7/10.
    The only thing that seems significant about that date is that I set up another IMAP account on a temporary macbook laptop at a temp job on that day in apple mail (the account has since been deleted when I stopped using the laptop).
    Ugh, this is so annoying and frustrating. I often need to look in my mail archive for old messages/attachments.
    I can't seem to find any help anywhere, but if you can offer me any advice I would really appreciate it!

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is relevant... but…
    Last year, when I set up a second, temporary Gmail IMAP account, I found that all did not jell well together…
    I encountered quite a few problems… sending and receiving… transferring to and from the accounts… and lots of Hangs and Time Outs…
    When I had eventually finished with the second account, I not only deleted it from Mac Mail, but Completely Closed and Deleted it with Gmail.
    Since then I have had no such problems with my single Gmail IMAP account…
    As I said, not sure if this is relevant to your Problem, but thought it might be of interest to you.
    Cheers

  • Can't create new messages in Mail

    When I click on New Message or Reply I don't get a new window or a new draft message. Nothing seems to happen. But if I quit Mail and then re-launch, I get all the new mail windows appearing, and they are all there in my drafts mailbox, and they can be edited and sent as normal.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Are you saying it doesn't happen for all new messages?
    Try making a new user account, log on as the new user, set up Mail there and see does the problem exist.

  • Can't create mailbox & user in a specified domain

    Hello,
    I can't select the domain I want when I create a mailbox for a new user in Exchange 2013 EAC.
    I have a single forest with 1 root domain : toto.local, and 2 child domains infra.toto.local, ressources.toto.local. Exchange server is in ressources.toto.local with all my servers ans all my users are under infra.toto.local. There is a two-way and transitive
    trust between (infra.toto.local and toto.local) and between (ressources.toto.local and toto.local)
    Before installation of echange I do a setup /PrepareAllDomains
    When I want to create a mailbox for a new user, the only choice I have for the user session name domain is toto.local.
    Do I missed or misunderstood something ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your answer Terence,
    I have defined 2 accepted domains : infra.toto.local (Authoritative) and
    toto.com, my external domain name (Authoritative and default).
    I created 2 email address policies : One for
    toto.com ([email protected]) priority 1 for all recipients and the other one for
    infra.toto.local ([email protected]) priority 2 for all recipients.
    But even now, when I want to create a new mailbox user from exchange eac, the only domain suffix I can choose for logon is
    toto.local. I had to go to AD Users & Computers to change user session name to
    infra.toto.local
    Thanks for your help.

    Apple doesn't have an email system for support. AppleCare is the only method.
    You might try the Support link on the Mac App Store, but they're not necessarily the people in charge of the up-to-date program, but they may be able to help you. Don't get your hopes up on that, though. When you contact the App Store support, make sure you note all of the things you stated above along with your Claim Reference number.

  • Can't create event from iPad mail

    I Am using an iPad 2, with all updates.  When I try to create an event from an email, the right screen pops up, but the right hand side is cut off, so I have no save button.  Also can't change calendars, etc, because there is no save button on those screens too.  The calendar functions otherwise seem fine.  Help, please?

    That is a known issue. Although it has been reported in the past, another submission wouldn't hurt: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    To my knowledge, short of simply open the calendar app and creating the event from scratch, there is no workaround.

    Hi we have 4 iphone in the hose that use all the same apple id
    How / can we have 4 different accounts with 1 itunes so we can use facetime ect

    It is always best practice for everyone should have their own Apple ID anyway.
    Create an Apple ID - Apple - My Apple ID
    Sign out of the current Apple ID and in with your newly created one in these places:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account then sign in
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > FaceTime
    If you want to still share purchases, use the same Apple ID here:
    Settings >  iTunes & Apps Stores
    Otherwise, sign out and in with the new Apple ID
