Create new folders for e-mail?

Is it possible to create folders for e-mail? Or does this sync with e-mail accounts? I use comcast.net and none of my folders show up on my iPhone. Any info. would be appreciated.

With an IMAP account only and Comcast provides POP account access only.
A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices with the ability to keep all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account, and the ability to create additional server stored mailboxes to sort/store received or sent messages by category which will also be kept synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account.
With an IMAP account, you can also store sent messages on the server. Send a message with the iPhone's Mail client and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the email client used on your computer to access the account, and vice-versa.
This is not possible with a POP account.

How do I create new folders in my mail?

How do I create new folders to divide and save my mail into catergories?

Hi Tina
Two ways to do this:
1 in Mail, go the tool bar at the top of the screen, select Mailbox, then select New Mailbox in the menu.
2 in Mail, go the lefthand column, and at the bottom left you should see a plus sign and a cogwheel icon. Click on the plus sign and a new, untitled, mailbox will appear in the column above. Name this as you like.
You can "nest" mailboxes inside other mailboxes (eg inside a box I called "personal" I have individual mailboxes for each of my family and friends).
Then simply drag messages from your inbox to the appropriate mailbox in the lefthand column when you want to archive them.
Hope this helps!

Create new folders for old messages on my computer

How do I create new folders in my computer to archive old messages and save them to my computer.

Do you mean in Mail or the Finder? In Mail simply click on the [+] button at the bottom left of the folders fist. Select New Folder. In the dialog select where you want the folder located and the name for it.
In the Finder navigate to where you want to create the folder then press SHIFT-COMMAND-N to create a new "untitled" folder.

Create new folders for Ipad e-mail

currently i have only drafts, sent, spam, and trash as locations to move files. how do i create additional folders so that i can move e-mails for storage without losing all the content.
there are many i don't want to through away but i also don't want them just piling up in my inbox

What mail client are you using?? MobileME, GMail, etc.
If you are using GMail log into your GMail account on your computer > create a new folder > restart the mail client on your iPad > open your mail > at the Mailboxes screen you will see "Accounts" click your email client you will see all your created folders there. There is no way to do it through the actual mail app.

Why does mail create two folders for incoming mail?

Hi there,
i'm using the latest version of mac and i've set up a gmail (imap) account on mail. When i first created the imap account, all seemed in order, then after about 5 minutes of activity (i believe it was the moment i started composing my own email), Mail created a series of new folders under the standard "inbox, sent and junk" folders. There is now also a GMAIL tab there which has a bunch of subcategories like sent mail and junk and trash. when i receive new emails, they show up in both the default inbox and also in the gmail inbox. I'd rather just receive them in the default inbox because it looks like i am receiving double the mail and have to click both folders in order to mark the new mail as unread. any advice? hope i was able to bring my subject over clearly enough.
thanks,
jp

Welcome to Apple Discussions, janchy.
What you describe sounds like normal behavior to me. IMAP accounts create their own section in Mail's sidebar as well as sub-mailboxes in the standard mailboxes. If you see Sent/Trash/Junk as subfolders in the (white) Gmail folder, select each one in turn and click Mailbox menu > "Use this mailbox for...".
You should read my [User Tip about IMAP Gmail and Mail|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1747527] (click the link), too.
At the moment it's also accessible at the top of any of the "Mail and Address Book" forum pages on this board.

Create new folders for email and photos

how can i create new file folders for email and/or photos on the iPad 2?
and, will it also work on the iTouch?
ALSO, tried to install a wireless printer which looks for documents in the "documents" folder, but i can't save them there from email or anyplace else????
Thank you for any help

If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP based email account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of your current folders on your email account - if you aren't on iOS 5 or if the account is POP based then you won't get the Edit button.
Similarly for photos, if you are on iOS 5 then you should get an Edit button at the top right of the Album selection screen in the Photos app which allows you to create new albums and copy (not move) photos into - and if you delete the original photo then if will also be removed from all albums that you've 'copied' it into.
If the iPod Touch is also on iOS 5 then I think that you will get the same options (though I'm not 100% sure)

Folders that I had previously created and put bookmarked sites in have disappeared and Im unable to create new folders for sites I want to bookmark. I've checked the support info and it doesn't say anything about creating new subject folders?

Bookmark folders that I had previously created have disappeared so I can't access any of my bookmarks. The process I used to create new subject bookmarks doesn't seem to be there anymore. The apple support doesnt mention creating new bookmark folders or what to do if you lose your bookmark folders.

Hi,
As you just upgarded to Windows 7, please make sure SP1 is also installed on all systems and install the following hotfix rollup for Windows 7 SP1:
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us
There was a known issue on Windows 7 which affected shared folders, that newly created or deleted files are not reflect in network folder immediately, which seems similar to your error. If issue still exists after SP1 and hotfix rollup please help confirm:
1. If this issue occurs only on DFS folder in accessing with \\domain.com\namespace. Could you reproduce the same issue in accessing \\server\sharefolder?
2. Will the same issue occurs after disabling Offline Files if it is enabled.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

> The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
> I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
> I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.
> It is definitely not a case of my inbox not being expanded.
> I have tried running in safe mode with addons disabled and toolbars reset, but it still doesn't work.
> I opened up the subscribe box, and the folders do not appear there to be subscribed too - which leads me to believe they aren't being created in the first place.
Please help - I have run out of ideas of what to do or try. Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks for you response.

Creating New Folders

Is there some way to create new folders in the Mail app on the iPhone? I can see where there is the folder at the bottom with the option to move emails to different folders besides Inbox; however, I can't find a way to create for example a "Hold" folder. I have several folders on my desktop's Mail program, but none got transferred to the iPhone when I did the sync.
Thanks!

if I use IMAP within Mail on my desktop, will my mail "rules" (filters) still function?
Yes. If you have another e-mail client sorting things for you. All of your mail will be sorted when you get it on your iPhone (including de-spammed if your other e-mail program does that too).
Only mail left in your InBox will be automatically downloaded to your phone. If you want to see mail filtered to somewhere else, you will have to touch that folder on the phone.

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

Creating new folders in Mail

Greetings..
How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)
D.
Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

Cannot create new folders in Outlook

I just bought a new PC computer. I installed MSFT Office Professional Plus 2010. I opened Outlook and added in (i) the pst folder I had set up from my previous Vista
computer (also with Outlook 2010), (ii) my hotmail account, (iii) my at&t/yahoo account and (iv) my gmail account. I cannot create new folders in any of them.
When I right click anywhere in the navigation pane and select "New Folder..." I get the following error message:
"Outlook cannot read the registry information.
-Close and restart Outlook.
-Reinstall Outlook
-Reinstall Microsoft Exchange or other e-mail system."
I tried all three, including removing and reinstalling Office and removing all of the email accounts/pst files and re-adding and still have the problem.
If I try to right-click properties on any of the accounts, I get the same error message, with the following additional language first:
"Cannot display 'General' page. This page will remain visible, but is not available."
Not sure what is left to try.
Appreciate any ideas.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, If the PC from clean install, you can follow these steps to test this issue.
1.
Start the Outlook in safe mode,
Press and hold the CTRL key,
and then click Outlook.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
2.
Create a New profile & PST file to test this issue
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile & PST, the old Outlook profile is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
3.
Make sure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
key permissions to allow full permissions to all users

How to create new folders on iCloud Drive from iOS or with document picker?

Recently I wanted to share several files from my iWorks suite with my colleagues. I do not want them to edit these files, instead I made templates in Numbers for easier management of hours worked. Everyone could download their copy and keep a track of their hours themselves. The problem is, not everyone has an Apple product.
Unfortunately, iOS does not support native browsing of iCloud Drive (except the document picker, which, to me, isn't helpful at all), the only way I know of - to create a new folder - is to open iCloud.com in Safari, request the desktop site and make a new folder from there.
Is there another way of creating new folders, preferably an official app from Apple or from within an iWorks app or the document picker that I do not know of? Or is this actually a missing feature?
Also, if Apple could make an app similar to Microsoft OneDrive, that would be great.

Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

I can no longer create new folders in Windows 7; could this problem be a result of recently reinstalling Firefox?

I'm using Windows 7 Home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. Maybe two weeks ago, I stopped being able to create new folders in the Windows Explorer box; I click the "New Folder" button, and nothing happens: no error message, nothing. Around two weeks ago, I also reinstalled Firefox to get rid of some adware virus (success: the adware is gone!). I do not recall the exact timing on when I did the reinstall and when I stopped being able to create new folders, but I'm wondering if the folder problem could be related to the re-install. And if so, what can I do about it?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

Hello FJasmine, no, it is not related the firefox update with that.

Can't create new folders

One day, just randomly my laptop stopped letting me create new folders. when i right click and go to "new" the option is simply not there, and when i open windows explorer and click new folder, nothing happens. I have to copy a folder, delete its contents, and rename it every time i wish to create a new folder. I have made no major changes to my computer; the only things I have done is download music from itunes, and a few new video games. I cannot find anywhere that it could be.
Also, I might add I use Comodo firewall, wich not only blocks things from acessing the internet, but from files acessing other files, registry, etc. I didn't know if this could be affecting it. When i instal something new I have to allow it anywhere from 3-8 times for each different thing. I've had it for a few weeks now, and noticed no problem with my laptop because of it other than constantly having it allow things when i first open them.
I have tried system recovery and ran a virus scan with avast and registry mechanic, and none of these have fixed it. The only thing i found online was a guy telling me ot download his program and install it to my registry (however, i did not trust this, because i could not find information of the name of the file he told me to install anywhere else, so i figured it would do more harm than good)

I'll assume you're talking about Windows Explorer. If the problem is elsewhere, it's a different story.
The problem just started today.
With a little luck, a System Restore will fix that registry problem.
   What is System Restore?
Otherwise, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to this key.
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New
In the right pane, look at the data for the value (Default). It should be this.
   {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
If not, attach a picture of what you see (as I have).
