Can't create new Mailbox

If i would like to create a new mailbox, I get the following error massage:
Mailbox Creation Failed
Unable to create path ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/a.mbox.
There are only one user, the administrator.
On another computer with the same softwer version of Mail I am able to create new maolboxes.
Maybe ther is a permission problem somewhere, but where?
Anybody can help?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
"Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help you.
Also, please type
ls -ld ~/Library
ls -ld ~/Library/Mail
ls -ld ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes
in a Terminal and let us know about the output.

What??? You Can't Create New Mailboxes on an iPhone???

How incredibly stupid is that???
So I finally decide to buy one of these things (two, actually, since I can't get one unless my wife gets one too...) and one of the first things I tried to do is... move a message from the inbox to.... ANY other folder. There, at the bottom of the message, is the icon... a folder with an arrow. Tap that... and... what's this?? You can't create a new mailbox?
Oh wait, maybe you have to create the mailboxes in Mail on your MacBook, an then sync them to the iPhone. Nope, that doesn't work either.
So maybe you wind up on the phone with some charmin lass in Bangalore and you listen incredulously as she tells you that this INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND S.O.P. CAN'T BE DONE with an iPhone!!!
And then you tell her... but... there it is, right in the user manual I downloaded. Three mailboxes in addition to "inbox" "sent" and "trash." Where did they come from???
Then you spend 10 minutes on dead silence, on hold, and she comes back and says, oh, you can only do that with an iMap account! Like, hotmail or gmail or something.
Well, I don't have hotmail or gmail (I do have Yahoo Mail but don't actually use it for anything) I have Apple Mail on my MacBook. Are they telling me that the mail program on this most-expensive-smartphone in the world is really so stupid that it can't create a mailbox?? That every message I want to keep on the thing has to be kept in the inbox? How stupid IS THAT???
So, please, somebody.... tell me I'm wrong about this -- that lovely Ms. Bangalore is wrong about this... and tell me how I can create an additional mail box on my iPhone so that I don't wind up with 1,000 messages in my inbox.
Really, how hard, how fundamental, is a task like that?
Thanks,

With .Mac you get 10GB of storage, you can divide that between email, and web/iDisk space by logging in and going to your account settings on www.mac.com.
EDIT: When my mailbox on an IMAP server that limits to 200MB starts to get full, I move old messages to a "local" or "On My Mac" folder on my computer.
Thanks again for all the patient counsel around this issue. Here's the latest, in case anybody's still paying attention.
I've been able to convert my primary e-mail account from POP to IMAP, so that it is now fully syncable with my iPhone. However, I'm still a long way from migrating my entire e-mail operation to Mac Mail.
That is actually something that I would like to do. But I'm having a hard time now figuring out what exactly will be my "e-mail strategy" going forward.
Presently, I am still doing most of my e-mail (which is a large part of my work) using Eudora in Windows on the Mac (via Parallels). I have had to do that mostly because I have thousands of messages in folders in Eudora, and I have been relying heavily on Eudora's robust search functions to find material that has formed the basis of a book I've been writing. For that and other reasons I have had to continue running Windows even as I've been migrating to the Mac platform.
Now that a first draft of the book is done, I would love to abandon Windows altogether. I'm much happier in a pure Mac environment.
But switching to IMAP for MacMail has actually made the prospect more difficult, because the service that hosts my primary e-mail account only allows 100MB of storage on their IMAP servers. I have hundreds of folders and several GB of files and folders in Eudora; with that kind of limit, I really can't see moving all those files and folders into MacMail, and having them sync'd to the server. It's impossible, actually.
I do not need access to 98% of what I have stored in Eudora from more than one client. So it really doesn't need to be part of my IMAP scenario.
What I do need is a way to clear from the server e-mail that I want to keep locally. How do I do that if everything in an IMAP client is duplicated on the server?
As it is, the next time I start Eudora in Windows, it is going to download all the e-mail and delete it from the servers. Then the next time I start MacMail, it will all disappear from MacMail because it's been deleted from the server, right? That's not such a bad thing, because it clears the servers and because MacMail is not (yet) the permanent repository of my vast e-mail archives.
This gets confusing to even contemplate, let alone write about. Bottom line is a) how do I make MacMail my main e-mail program when there is surely going to be more than 100MB of data I want to maintain, and/or b) how do I preserve the e-mail that I do want to save locally if my primary account is IMAP and I don't want to keep everything on the server.
Remember, this whole issue arises because 98% of what arrives on my handheld (previously a Treo 650) I could just delete, and the other 2% I could save to a separate folder. But that was a POP account. Now I've had to alter my entire e-mail regimen JUST so I can have a folder for "keepers" on my handheld. And I SURE don't need those those thousands of e-mails in my permanent archives on the hand held (even if there is room for them).
Sorry, I keep trying to boil it down to a simple question, and it keeps getting complicated. Is there a primer on IMAP management that somebody can refer me to?
Thanks,

Can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders

I can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders. If I go to (menu bar) Mailbox the 'New Smart Mailbox Folder' item is greyed out.
Any ideas on what the problem is, or what I could try?
I already have quite a few Smart Mailbox Folders in Mail, but if I remember correctly I created all these in Tiger & haven't made any since using Leopard (clean install).

I found the answer and it is really stupid. To ungrey the "New Smart Mailbox Folder" menu option you need to unselect any folders or mailboxes. The quickest way to do this is just click just below them, on the blue-grey bar.

Can't create local mailbox in Mail

Hey guys,
I've had this problem with my new MBP where I can't create a mailbox locally on my Mac. This is usually done inside the Mail program by: Mailbox -> New Mailbox -> On My Mac.
The error I get is: Mailbox Creation Failed. Unable to create path ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/test.mbox.
Here's the error message that is shown in my console log:
2006-08-12 23:04:18.244 Mail[5431] couldn't create partial directory path /Users/blah/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/test.mbox
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.16ghz, 2gb RAM, 100gb 7200rpm HD, glossy screen

Hi Chewy.
For some reason, ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes sometimes is actually a file instead of a folder, thus causing the problem you're experiencing. Verify/repair your disk first, as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate Mailboxes. If it's a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

Hi,
You can try LSMW (Direct method) for uploading class values.
Upload file can hae following structure:
OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
Release Grou+Release strategy |     Characteristic name     |     Class type     |     Class Value
e.g. rel grp is PO, rel strategy is 01, characteristic name is EBAN_EKORG, and class value is 1000 then
OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
PO01     |     EBAN_EKORG |     032     |     1000
multiple characterstics can be
OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
PO01     |     EBAN_EKORG |     032     |     1000
PO01     |     EBAN_EKGRP |     032     |     100

Cannot edit/create new mailbox in ECP - Exchange 2013 CU6

Hello, I am currently running Exchange 2013 CU6. I cannot perform tasks related to recipients such as edit/create new mailbox. Additionally I cannot view the properties of the virtual directories.

Hello Amy,
I will try to follow your suggestions. I will update once I get access to the server.
Anyways, the whole thing was back to normal for 1 day on its own, but right now the issue is happening again. Permission-wise, the account I used is in listed Organization Management role
Update: I forgot to try the EMS, but after I recycle the
MSExchangeECPAppPool, everything works fine, except for viewing Groups and Permissions

Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?

Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?
The business requirement is to limit the available entries for partners displayed when they search in quality notification. I have already created new partner functions & assigned the relevant partner types, however struggling with defining new partner types.
Would appreciate help in resolving this.
Thanks,
Nilesh

I know this customisation setting ...It allows us to create the partner functions & assign it to the partner determination procedure.
Then you can assign the procedure to the notification type.
This customisation setting does not solve the problem I have.
I'm looking for the partner type creation process which we assign to the partner function.

Can We Create New Categories and Folders?

I hate having all of my apps piled up in the "ALL" category. Can we create new categories such as "Business Apps" or "Education" in order to stay organized? If not can we at least create folders within the existing catefories?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I read a response to a similar question yesterday on this forum. The BlackBerry tech said it is not an option right now but you can choose your favorites and have them show in the favorites section. Maybe folders will be available later. Enjoy the new tablet I know I am.

Can i create new CRM in 11i

I have a question, can i create new CRM(Conflict resolution Manager) additionally in 11i EBS..?

do we find any scripts to check about concurrent managers in EBS from back end(sqlplus )..?yes default installation give you some scripts to check about concurrent managers.
The following SQL scripts located under $FND_TOP/sql :
1. afimchk.sql Tells the status of the ICM and PMON method
2. afcmstat.sql Lists active manager processes
3. afrqrun.sql Lists all the running, waiting and terminating requests
4. afrqwait.sql Lists requests that are constrained and waiting for the ICM to release them
5. afrqscm.sql Prints log file name of managers that can run a given request. It can be used to check for possible errors when a request stays in pending status. It requires a request id value.
6. afcmcreq.sql Prints the log file name of the manager that processed the request
7. afrqstat.sql Summary of completed concurrent requests grouped by completion status and execution type. It requires number of days prior to today on which to report parameter.
8. afimlock.sql Lists locks that the ICM is waiting to get

Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

Hi,
Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
You could compress your tables.
If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.
