Creating file folders in iPad mail

Is it possible to create mail folders in iPad mail, or is there an app that let's you organize mail into folders

It depends on what email provider your using to make a new folder. For example I use gmail and coustum folders in gmail are called labels. Don't ask me why they are called labels... You can add a folder from the iPad and here is how to do it with gmail.
Open a new browser window in Safari...
Type in google.com in the URL address bar...
Click on Gmail in the menu...
Type in your user name and password...
When Gmail loads, look at the bottom of the page and click on basic HTML...
You can add folder (labels) in two places. From the settings (top right), label tab. Or from the  left hand column, labels, edit labels...
Add the a new label with a name...
You can add as many folders (labels) to you liking.
Click on the email icon app. If the new folder doesn't show up hit the home button and click on the email app again, the new folder should show up.
Once you have done this a few times you'll get a good workflow.
I'm sure you can do this with other email providers that let's you access your email by way of a bowser page.

  • I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

    I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

    Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

  • 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.

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • 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!

  • Newly-created Files & Folders Permission Problem

    Hello. I have a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard and Lion clients.
    When all Macs were running Snow Leopard, any client could create new folders and files on the Snow Leopard Server, and all other Mac clients can access and modify them (Read and Write permission).
    I updated a few clients to Lion, and now when a Lion client created a new file or folder on the Snow Leopard Server, only that client has Read & Write permission. All other client now cannot modify the newly-created file/folder.
    My temporary fix is to change the folder or file permission on the server so everyone can have access.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this the Lion client problem or the Snow Leopard Server problem?
    Thanks.
    Alex.

  • 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.

  • Putting files/folders onto ipad

    Hey I'm pretty new to using the iPad. So here's my question. I like to read comics/manga on my Samsung phone but would like to use those files/folders on my iPad.
    Is there a way to put these files and folders directly there seeing as iTunes doesn't seem to upload zip files.
    Also I'd like to organise these files into folders thus the folders part of the question.
    I've tried using file transfer apps but they don't seem to upload whole folders, instead it's individually.

  • 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.

  • [solved] Thunar doesn't respect umask when creating files/folders

    Having this permissions:
    $ umask
    0007
    When creating files / dirs in a terminal the new ones will get the correct permissions. However when doing the same in Thunar (checked with pcmanfm, too) the files / dirs get different permissions:
    -rw-rw---- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 new2 - cli
    -rw-r--r-- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 New Empty File - thunar
    drwxrwx--- 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-cli
    drwxr-xr-x 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-thunar
    Shouldn't applications respect the user's umask settings? Is it a bug or a feature?

    Thanks, very useful link.
    Now I understand why it works this way. However I'm wondering whether putting umask to ~/.xprofile would work.
    Or in .xinitrc before the line that starts WM. I'll try.
    Update:
    Gcool thanks again.
    Putting umask into xprofile works exactly as I need it to work!

  • Create files & folders of 10 level depth Perform read rename delete move operations

    How to do apple script for the below test
    1. Create 10 level deep directories in smb share
    2. List the root directory
    3. Preform rename of the root directory
    4. move the sub directories randomly
    5. delete the 10 th level directory

    I suspect there's more to your request than you're revealing here, but there are several ways to achieve what you want.
    From a pure AppleScript perspective, you can create any folder hierarchy you like:
    1. Create 10 level deep directories in smb share
    tell application "Finder"
      set x to (path to desktop) -- change this to the path to your sharepoint
      repeat with folderName in {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h"}
      set x to make new folder at x with properties {name:folderName}
      end repeat
    end tell
    2. List the root directory
    This makes no sense without more context. What do you want to do with the results of this?
    3. Preform rename of the root directory
    You can rename any file/folder via something like:
    tell application "Finder"
      set x to (folder "foo" of disk "sharepoint") -- get the folder - adjust as necessary
      set name of x to "bar" -- rename the folder
    end tell
    4. move the sub directories randomly
    This makes no sense. Move them where?
    5. delete the 10 th level directory
    If this is all in one script, then my variable x from my original script will still hold a pointer to the most-recently created folder, so you can just:
      delete x

  • How to create a hyperlink in iPad mail client?

    I've been searching for ways to add hyperlinks to my e-mail messages, but can't seem to find any help. Anyone know how to do this?

    By Hypertext you mean a hyperlink that is using text with the hyperlink underline rather than the http:// address itself? I don't think you can in mail, there might be a third party mail application that would allow you though.

  • Signatures disappear when sending file attachment in iPad Mail

    Whenever I send an attachment from GoodReader or Pages the file appears at the bottom of the message and my default signature disappears.  How can I send files with a signature?

    Hi,
    Attachment Content is not Mandatory to enter unless you wish to override the Attachment Property.
    Basically we use this content along with Encoded Image Property like chart, spc and image loader action block.
    If you are loading file from system using Proper path in Attachment Section then no need to use Attachment Content section.
    Ensure that you have set the Attachment Content Type to "application/pdf" to send pdf files and a valid File path in Attachment section.
    Hope this helps!!
