Create Subfolder Under Inbox in Mail

I am pretty sure this can't be done, but just thought I'd ask. Is it possible to create a subfolder under Inbox in Mail?
Thanks.

First of all, what I said in response to you, is that your entering INBOX where you did, accomplished for that one folder what entering it in the IMAP Path Prefix box would accomplish for all new mail folders when created.
Secondly, I believe you will find servers that by administration block this -- I believe that Gmail does so. Three advisories for university situations appear to do so -- see:

and

Other enterprise administered servers preset where folders can be, and therefore may not operate in the manner you expect.

Hi,
I have a requirement where the user should have a subfolder under the foldre (userhome).
When ever a user is created this subfolder should be created.
Like Favorites, Personal Documents etc.. i need some other folder like "Temp" under the userhome folder.

Create subfolders under Inbox via Exchange Management Shell

Hello. I 'd like to create a standard set of subfolders under the Inbox for some dozens of users. I tried the command below:
New-MailboxFolder -Parent Tony:\Inbox -Name
Personal
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335113(v=exchg.150).aspx)
which is supposed to create the subfolder "Personal" under user's Tony Inbox. But the problem is that while I am an administrator and possess full access to his mailbox I can't execute this command unless I am logged into Exchange as the real ...Tony.
Theoretically there must be some way for the administrator to impersonate Tony and execute the command. ?
We have an exchange 2013 on premise and would like to do this via a script for mass deployment. Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

I believe you need to use EWS to do something like that. I did a quick search and found this script where someone else has already done the work. Probably worth a shot :)

How do I create subfolders UNDER multiple accounts in Mail, similar to Outlook?

I am trying to move from Outlook 2011 MAC to Apple Mail. I understand how to drag my folders (mbox) but I have 3 mail accounts in Outlook and want to create these same accounts in Mail...followed by the specific folders under each mail account.
Mail doesn't seem to allow me to simply drag a subfolder under a particular account. I'm on the latest version of Mountain Lion, as an FYI.
Can someone help me because there has to be a way to keep things organized by email account and respective subfolder.
Thanks,
Harlan

HT2500 How to create a folder in Inbox in Mail

Can someone help me on how to set-up or create 'smart folder' ( not smart-mail box ) where I can move certain e-mails into specific folder. Tis helps to classify e-mails either by subject and refer accordingly.

Under Mailbox there is a New Smart mailbox folder option. Don't know if this helps you.

Emails from one account don't appear in the Inbox of Mail since upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have a couple of email accounts - one is Gmail and one is a domain for my business. Previously Mail would show the Inbox and then a subfolder for each account under Inbox. Any messages received in the accounts would appear in both their own subfolder and also the Inbox. All my rules worked properly and life was good. Now, try as I might I cannot get my domain email account messages to show in the global/unified Inbox.
Originally the domain email folder was totally separate to the Inbox. By changing the IMAP Prefix (removing 'Inbox') I was able to get the folder at least under Inbox.
I purchased a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to move everything, therefore the problem persists. I had additional problems that my address book, rules and On My Mac folders didn't appear - but I solved that by finding the Containers folder and it is like a duplicate of Mail. I moved things from there to the Library/Mail and those particular issues resolved. But for the inbox issue, I have removed data from the Users/Library/Mail and from Library/Containers and started afresh - even deleted the Mail App and reinstalled from my original disc, but as soon as I set up the account it happens again.
Recently I have also started receiving errors when sending to use the Connection Doctor. I don't know if all this is related to a bug in Mountain Lion, the way I have things set up, or my domain/ISP.
Any suggestions on what to try, what it may be or ways around it would be great. I do have a Smart Mailbox for a Total Inbox, but of course the Rules don't work automatically on it. I'm getting sick of running Rules manually. Help please!!

I called the support service and she told me to delete my email address and re-enter it. I have no problem since then on receiving and sending emails.

IMAP folders appear under Inbox

I am using Mail.app with 6 imap accounts. For two of the accounts (both on cyrus-imapd servers, I believe), all of the folders appear as subfolders of that accounts Inbox. I am able to successfully assign the Junk, Trash, Sent, etc. folders. Every unassaigned folder, however, appears under Inbox. If I place "INBOX" (without quotes) as my IMAP Path Prefix, as instructed by my ISP (one I host), I cannot connect to any of the subfolders (and they remain under "Inbox").
For both accounts, I can also use a webmail server, where every folder does appear under INBOX.
As of a couple months ago, Mail had always worked perfectly for me. For some unknown reason, when starting Mail one day, I had to reset many of my prefereneces. From that point on, I have had this above problem with two of my accounts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

These being IMAP accounts, you may try re-creating them, i.e. deleting them in Preferences > Accounts and setting them up again from scratch. INBOX should definitely be in the IMAP Path Prefix. You may try bypassing the Account Setup “Assistant” by holding the Option (Alt) key down when clicking on the [+] button, so that Mail doesn’t attempt to connect to the server until the account has been completely configured.
Before deleting the accounts, you may want to make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example (quit Mail first).

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.

.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Apple Mail To Do/

Hello,
One morning Mail has created a directory on my IMAP box :
.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Apple Mail To Do/
Quiet funny...
Does somebody know why and how I could remove it ?
I have tried to delete it with "delete mailbox" but it reappears.
Thank you !

Yes - it is a strange one. I was getting multiple mailboxes and constant Mail crashes when I had Safari 4 beta installed. If you are using Safari 4 beta then you need to uninstall it using the uninstaller in the original download package - it will reinstate Safari 3.
Here are some other things to try:
Firstly, 'Repair Permissions' using Disk Utility, and restart.
If Mail crashes upon opening, try holding down the shift-key when opening, then rebuild your mailbox - Menu/Mailbox/Rebuild.
Are you using Synchronization in System Preferences/MobileMe? If so, try turning it off. Also check that your computer appears under the 'Advanced...' button.
If all else fails, then move the 'Mail' folder in ~/Library/Mail to your Desktop (do NOT delete it at this stage). Also, move 'com.apple.mail.plist' from ~/Library/Preferences/ to your Desktop. You will need to setup your mailbox again when you open Mail - follow the default setup procedure and setup your mailbox as an IMAP account - it will synchronize/download the emails you have stored on the server if you have been saving your data there.
Test Mail and if it is OK, then you can import whatever data you have in the old Mail folder on your Desktop - Menu/File/Import Mailboxes/Mail for Mac OS X and navigate to the Mail folder on the Desktop, follow onscreen instructions.
Hope this helps.

Lost all my mail in my inbox +my mail account

lost all my mail in my inbox +my mail account settings except @mac.com after a crash of my system.
When I rebooted my mac, a pop-up from mail was telling me that it had created a new folder called "distributed" in replacement of the usual "sent items" folder. This last folder is still there but is empty.
Can I somehow recuperate the settings as it was before the crash?

Hi Jake, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
After we're sure those things are OK, we can go further.

Any reason NOT to create subfolders under user folder?

I'm switching over from a 5+ year old MacBook Pro to a new one. I do a lot of audio recording and production work. On my old machine, which was my first Mac, I created a subfolder 'Recordings' under my user folder (let's say it's named "bob"). I don't remember why I did that. Probably I was thinking well, this stuff isn't documents.
On the new machine, running Yosemite, I discovered that Apple in it's wisdom had made my "bob" user folder hidden, which meant I had to go figure out how to show it because there are some audio plugin settings files I needed to add manually from the old machine into my user/ Library area. Did that.
BUT... I'm wondering if there is some reason why Apple changed the user folder to hidden (other than "you dumb users don't need to know about this stuff"), and specifically, if I should avoid creating any subfolders under my user folder? I would really rather not have my 'Recordings' folder inside the Documents folder, but I guess I can if there's some good reason not to create subfolders under 'bob'.
Thanks in advance.

They didn't make it hidden (like the Library sub folder), but I believe it is no longer included in the sidebar by default. Probably for the reason you state. As you've found, you can add it back through Finder Preferences menu.

How to create an email inbox?

Hey everyone,
I am in the middle of a project but i seem to have come to a roadblock. I am in need of a way to create an email inbox in flex, but I am fresh out of ideas of how to do this, and I can't seem to find any documentation about how to do this. Do any of you have ideas or know of a source to learn how to do this? All help is greatly appreciated!

Mainly I am struggling with how to even start. I figured I would use a dataGrid to display the emails, but how to retrieve and update them I do not know. I am currently using Augie Marcellos email script to send the email, but would change it based on the inbox settings to use my mail server. Any ideas?

I use Apple Mail and dislike Outlook. If I create a note in Apple Mail, move it to desktop for easy access and then open the note, it opens in Outlook. How do I stop Outlook from opening? Do I need to uninstall Outlook? Will it disrupt other software?

Open Apple Mail, and open Preferences (under Mail in the Menu Bar). On the General tab, check the "Default Email Reader" and set it to Mail (6.6).
