Collapse folders in mail, collapse folders in mail

Hi,
Will a HP L2105tm 21.5" touchscreen monitor work with a Macbook 2010 with OS Lion?
Thanks,

Hi I put out the same request and so far the answer seems to be that iPad does not have the ability to collapse and expand the folders.....yet.....I hope Apple will get this feature added soon. I have business folders with many clients and sub-folders within them and the list is growing. I use Gmail and it works fine when I'm on my PC, but not with the iPad.

How do I collapse folders in mail?

I organize my mail into separate folders (e.g - folders for each customer). I find this to be a great way to find emails for a given customer regardless of the subject line. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any way to collapse folders for easy navigation in the mail client on an iPhone. Is there anyway to collapse folders?

How can I close nested folders in mail

I use folders in Outlook. LOTS of folders. They Re carefully arranged and nested for easy navigation. When I open Mail on the iPad I see ALL of my folders by default. There does not seem to be an option to collapse the view. This makes the Mail program almost unusable for anything other than reading and responding. No management is practicable.
Is there something I missed? Surely Apple's attention to user experience thought of this!
HELP.
gll

You can't. You have to do that on your computer, then sync.
However, if your email service provides web access, then use Safari to get there - then you can do whatever management tasks are generally allowed at that site, including adding folders.

Messages located in sub folders do not show in iPad Mail

Using iPad mail with Microsoft Exchange sync works great at the inbox level but any messages that are in sub folders do not show up in Mail on the iPad. All of the sub folders show up but do not show messages. In addition, I am not able to collapse the parent folders, the result is a very long list of empty folders. The exception is emails that I move to the folders on the iPad do show up if the folder is selected on the iPad. Looking for solution.

Has anyone else noticed the following?
I've synchronized with Exchange and am noticing some odd mail behaviour:
- I have folders in my PC Outlook inbox
- when I have mail open on my ipad, and a new message comes in, if I happen to be an a subfolder (example a special folder for messages from my boss or whatever) all the new mail goes to that folder instead of the inbox.
- even weirder, it stays there when I go back to my PC and Outlook.
Not very useful long term since I end up with seriously misfiled mail...

Unread count for nesting Mail folders?

Is it possible for the unread count of a folder in Mail (4.5) to include the unread count of a nested folder? Effectively, I'd like the unread count to "roll up", so that collapsed folders do not hide unread messages in nested folders.

No, there is not. The Mail icon badge shows the count for the sum of the Inbox new mails only.

Folders unrelated to mail displayed in iTouch mail application

When I connect to my work e-mail account in addition to seeing my normal e-mail folders I get everything that is in my work virtual drive where e-mails are stored. I mean everything, including expansion of all subdirectories. I have to wade through hundreds of files and folders to view my mail folders. Also, because it is looking at these hundreds of folders, it takes forever to 'get mail'.
1.) Is there any way to set up the iTouch mail so that I only see folders specific to the mail program, much like is displayed using any PC mail program?
2.) If not, is there any way to collapse the folders I do see so that I do not have to wade through the entire tree?

A bug report on this has been filed with Apple. Start your new message in Mail then use the Attach button to add attachments.

Mail folders And subfolders

I made An mail account with which synchronize with exchange. In outlook i have made within each archive folder I have many subfolders. On my iPad it shows All folders And subfolders totally.
How can I fold in the folders and subfolders?
Thanks already

AFAIK, you can't collapse email folders in the iPhone's Mail app.

When in yahoo mail I can't move mail into the drop down folders below HTheeninyaabout the 9th folder I the drop down menu.

When in yahoo mail I can't move my read mail into the drop down folders below about the 9th folder in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

My Folder - Mail in folders but cannot access

I transfered email to my folders and it shows that the mail count. Yet I cannot access them when I select he folder.

You have to access your folders from the My Folders section on the left-hand side, not the folder management page. You can't access any folders directly from the folder management page.
If the section is collapsed (meaning you see the My Folders heading but not your folders underneath it), try clicking on the little arrow next to it. (Should look like a triangle that is pointing towards the heading when collapsed, and pointing down when expanded.)
Hope this helps!

Collapsing Folders

I have set up my iPad to work with Microsoft Exchange e-mail, however I have a large number of folders. The iPad does not seem to allow me to collapse these folders. Instead I need to scroll through them all.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

This is my pet peeve about Apple. They people who design the UI for any Apple related product assume that everyone else in the world is a moron.
So the fact that the whole point of having folders in mail is to organize it, escaped them. So now everything is ALWAYS open.
I would suggest that this is because the people who design the apple related UI are morons themselves. This is a sad realization but the number of idiotic UI decidsion made by the Apple UI idiots, sorry - experts, is staggering.
So, to summarize - you cannot do any of the trivial expand/collapse of folders because the mail UI designers are idiots.
Simple.

Collapse of email folders

This question has for sure been asked, but do not seem to have found an answer. How does one collapse / expand folders in the mail programme?

I too would like to be able to collapse mail folders on the iPad mail program.
Either that or I need to learn a new way to run my life! Seriously, I use Outlook with an Exchange server for business and personal email. I have 100's of folders for each, nested 3 or 4 levels deep. It works, I can find complete discussions from 10 years ago, but only when running Outlook.
My HTC Android phone works the same as the iPad, I have to scroll through 100's of folders. Given that 2 out of 3 of my email devices, phone and iPad, don't do folders, and that filing every email has gotten more and more tedious, I may be ready for retraining for how to run my life.
I probabally violated some protocol with this long response, but I am serious, I need help!

Navigating folders in mail app

is there a way to collapse or expand folders in the mail app? i'm sync'ing with exchange.

Do you have an answer?
I have so many folders on view its a big problem, like you I am unable to collapse the sub folders I have.
What would be great is the option to select folders you can veiw...

Mail loses messages moved into IMAP folders

I use IMAP from a linux server with local synchronisation and "retain local copy" and regularly read email from at least 2 different macs and also using WebMail.
For an IMAP folder to contain subfolders, it cannot also contain mail.
When trying to drag and drop to a folder (rather than a mailbox) Mac Mail correctly disallows the action. Also, when cntrl-clicking and selecting "Move To", if the folder is open (ie already expanded) then the folder is not selectable as a target.
However, if the folder is closed (collapsed) in the drop-down menu, it is possible to move the message into the folder. This is easy to do by accident!
Looking in the local copy of the IMAP folder, I can see that there is now a Messages folder in the folder. For a while, I can find the moved message using a search, but "show in mailbox" gives an empty mailbox. However, this Messages folder is not synchronised onto the IMAP account (as the mailbox format is different on the IMAP server and the local IMAP copy on the mac) and so at some point it is deleted during synchronising with the server and the moved mail message is lost with no warning.
If droppping onto a closed folder were correctly disallowed in the "Move To" contextual menu, this would not happen. I think this must be a bug - is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me? and is there a way or retrieving messages lost in this way?
iMac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Whether it's a bug or not, I'm not sure. It certainly looks like it is, but the way Mail handles mailboxes within mailboxes is more complicate than it seems.
is there a way or retrieving messages lost in this way?
If the cached copy Mail keeps locally is still on your disk, yes. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver/. How many folders named after the IMAP folder where the messages where dropped do you see there? Is there one with an .imapmbox suffix and another without the suffix, or only one of these?

There's no new mail indication for subfolders if the folder is collapsed.

I have subfolders under other folders. If I get email for a subfolder when the upper-level folder is collapsed, there's no indication at the upper-level folder that there's new email. Folders that are subordinate to the inbox are highlighted when new email arrives.

This is what I have.
structure example in folder pane:
* mail account name
* >Inbox
* >>Sub folder A
* >>sub folder B
If there are 2 unread messages in sub folder A when Inbox is not collapsed, I will see the sub folder in bold with number:
* mail account name
* >Inbox
* >>'''Sub folder A (2)'''
* >>sub folder B
If there are 2 unread messages in sub folder A when Inbox is collapsed, I will see the Inbox folder in bold alerting me that there are unread messages within that Folder.
* mail account name
* >'''Inbox'''
If there is 1 unread message in Inbox and 2 unread messages in sub folder A when Inbox is not collapsed, I will see:
* mail account name
* >'''Inbox (1)'''
* >>'''Sub folder A (2)'''
* >>sub folder B
If there is 1 unread message in Inbox and 2 unread messages in sub folder A when Inbox is collapsed, I will see:
* mail account name
* >'''Inbox (1)'''
With Inbox collapsed, after reading the 'unread' message in Inbox, the bold number is removed, but the 'Inbox' itself is still in bold alerting me to the fact that more emails are unread in sub folders.
Do you have this occurring?

Close all folders in Mail? Color Label folders? Find folder? And More!

Hi all.
I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
However...
It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
Is this possible?
It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
You see the problems?
Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

Good luck
