Comcast mail folders

I have comcast email as one of my email accounts. Why can't I see all my folders like with yahoo account?
Also, is there a way to create new folders under an email account on the iPhone 3G? Thanks.

1. Comcast is a POP3 mail account so you cannot see all of your folders.
2. No there is not.

  • Missing Comcast Mail "Folders" After iOS 7.02 Upgrade.

    I only have Inbox, Sent and Trash. Drafts and Junk are gone. Anyone know how to get them back?
    Thx

    I have Comcast email, and I never had a junk folder. However, if you did have these folders, go the preview window where you see all of your email accounts - The window that shows all,of your Mailboxes. Tap the Edit button to the right of the Mailboxes heading. See if the folders are in there.
    You can also try closing the mail app and resetting the iPad to see if they reappear.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    BTW, creating a new draft email should make the folder appear again as well.

  • How to organize Mail folders?

    Hello,
    I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do something in Mac Mail (I'm on Mountain Lion with a MacBook Pro with Retina Display).
    In the past (pre-Mountain Lion), I had individual folders for each of my mail accounts. For example, I had a folder for Comcast mail, Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. In the left-hand column of the main Mail window, it was nicely organized so that there was the "main" folder for a particular email service, and then underneath that folder there would be other folders such as Sent, Trash, etc.
    However, the way it appears now is that there is one single "Inbox", and underneath that Inbox are MORE Inboxes, with each one being a different mail service. For example, under my Inbox, the next thing down is "POP Account", then "GMail", then iCloud". But they ALL fall under the main heading of "Inbox".
    I really don't care for it to be set up this way. I much prefer having a dedicated Inbox for each mail service, and then the various folders that relate only to that service underneath.
    I hope I'm describing this correctly. For years, it was set up the way that I liked it. I'm not sure when it self-changed to the way it is now, but I really don't care for it. I've gone through all of the menus and I can not figure out how to get it back to the way it was.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The “On My Mac” folder has never existed as such, neither in Mail 1.x nor in Mail 2.x. Mail uses that term to differentiate custom mailboxes stored locally on your computer from mailboxes stored on the server of IMAP accounts.
    In Mail 1.x such mailboxes appeared in the mailbox list grouped under an “On My Mac” icon, whether that’s how you wanted them to appear or not. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, or name the group differently, or have custom mailboxes appear directly at the top level of the mailbox list for greater convenience, etc.
    To answer your question, no, you aren’t stuck with how Mail organizes custom mailboxes, but as you have found out, Mail has some bugs & glitches when it comes to reorganizing mailboxes, and you should make a back up of at least your ~/Library/Mail/ folder before start making changes, just in case.
    I sometimes reorganize my own custom mailboxes by renaming and/or moving them, and have never experienced any issues myself, so you should certainly be able to do things like that. There are only two things I recommend not doing in Mail when reorganizing mailboxes:
    1. Even though Mail allows it, don’t use a folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders.
    2. Never, ever, rename a folder just to change its capitalization. If you want to change from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa, rename the folder to something different first.
    A more thorough discussion of these issues, for those who might be interested, can be found in the following thread, for example:

  • IPad w/comcast mail

    I use comcast mail.  I can't see me address book, folders.  When I delete message on iPad, the message doesn't,t delete on non apple devices

    Comcast provides/supports a POP account only. Email account mailboxes are not kept synchronized with the server with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If you want your email account mailboxes and messages kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account which Comcast does not provide.
    You won't see your Comcast online address book either. The iPad is designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With some email accounts, you can sync contscts over the air such as with a MobileMe account and with a Gmail account. Comcast doesn't support this either.

  • Missing imported mail folders after Leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to Leopard, my previously imported mail folders (from outlook express converted to .mbox) disappeared. I imported again with mixed results. One folder successfully imported but with 2 new but empty folders (at that point I had 3 folders on my mac). I tried to import the second file. It appeared to import, I can see the folder and number of messages but no way to access them. I can't open the folder. I tried it again with the same results. I had no problem accessing the same files prior to the Leopard upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome.
    thanks,
    Dana

  • I clicked to open one of my mail folders and when it opened, it immediately deleted all of the items in it!  Why and can I get them back???

    In my email app, I clicked to open one of my mail folders.  When it opened, it immediately deleted all of the emails inside that folder.  This happened with all the others too.  How can I stop this and is it possible to get that mail back.

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • Lost profile and all mail folders after mac crash

    disaster! my mac crashed. when i restarted and opened thunderbird, i was prompted to create an account. ii spent a lot of time on mozilla support--determined that my address book was in tact and tried several things according to other posts including moving the profile. nothing worked. i finally set up a new account, hoping to import the old folders. but now its a mess. i cannot find anything that resembles the old folders, i dont have a back up (i know), and im in over my head.
    does anyone have suggestions of how untangle this. or know of support available in nyc. the folders contain years of business emails--i would happily hire someone at this point.

    If you are being asked to create a new account you have lost your profile not just the mail folders. Read this article on how to attempt to recover it.

  • I have an edit button in my e mail account but when I press it I don't get the ''get new mailbox' button. How can I create e mail folders? Thanks.

    I want to create e mail folders for my goole account. I go to the account and as suggested in the forum i tap on edit. Then instead of getting at the botton a button that says 'new mailbox' i get 2 boxes one red that says delete and one blue that says move. This is on an ipad 2. I have also an ipad 3 and there it does work. I have checked the settings in both ipads and they seem identical to me.
    How can I create the foldesr then on teh ipad 2?
    Thanks a lot!

    You need to be in the mailbox list for the account when you tap edit.
    Sounds like you might be trying to do it from insider you Inbox.

  • How can I backup my e-mail folders to an alternate location?

    I would like to be able to make a copy of my e-mail folders. I could then use these folders to restore my e-mails in case of a system crash. They only thing I have been able to determine that they seem to be in a folder AppData under my login name. But the folder seems to be hidden or something because it does not show up. How can I access them and make a copy. Furthermore, how can I copy them back in case of a recovery?

    There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).

  • Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

    Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
    Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
    your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
    If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
    cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
    time.
    I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
    Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
    No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

    So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
    Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
    First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
    Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
    This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
    work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
    In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
    up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
    like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
    In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
    previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
    EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
    So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
    but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
    users.
    Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
    Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
    certificate.
    See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
    So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
    Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
    always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
    This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
    there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
    Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
    the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
    Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
    NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
    Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
    You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
    and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
    So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
    Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
    So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
    SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
    Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
    Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
    PS
    ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...
