Creating mailbox folders

How do I create mailbox folders? I have the original iPad running iOS 5.

This can be done with an IMAP or Exchange account, not with a POP account.
This is included in the user guide.

Creating mailboxes (folders) for Mail

I have synched the settings from my Mail account on my desktop machine to my new iPod touch, but none of the mailboxes have carried over. There seems to be no way to create mailboxes directly on the iPod touch. I created a new mailbox on the desktop Mail as an experiment, and then synched, but that didn't carry over either. Yet the iPod touch instructions definitely state that you can organize your mail "from one mailbox or folder to another".

I think this really is only the case for IMAP email not POP. The synchronization done between the iPod touch and the Mac synchronizes the settings, not the mail folders. I use IMAP and all of my folders are accessible through my iPod just as they are through web interfaces or Mail.
You can convert from POP to IMAP if your email server will allow it.
Let me know if this helps and if you need to know more.

Create MailBox Folders In My Comcast POP Account

I have a Comcast POP Email account on my iPhone, is there a way to create more than three folders for this account? The only three that I have is:
Inbox
Sent
Trash
Is that all that I can create? Everything works within those mailboxes, but I'd like to create at least one more for Saved Mail. I have several mailboxes on my desktop computer running Microsoft Outlook as my mail program.

Check out Gmail, they offer what you are looking for.

Can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders

I can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders. If I go to (menu bar) Mailbox the 'New Smart Mailbox Folder' item is greyed out.
Any ideas on what the problem is, or what I could try?
I already have quite a few Smart Mailbox Folders in Mail, but if I remember correctly I created all these in Tiger & haven't made any since using Leopard (clean install).

I found the answer and it is really stupid. To ungrey the "New Smart Mailbox Folder" menu option you need to unselect any folders or mailboxes. The quickest way to do this is just click just below them, on the blue-grey bar.

Creating new mailbox folders

Hey guys!
Is there a way to create additional folders in the mailbox so you can move read mail and organize the inbox instead of having it cluttered with mail ranging from newsletters to info mail from work?

You are correct about establishing new mail folders via exchange or the client. However a problem/annoyance arises in that it will send those emails to the new folders via rules, but will only notify you of those emails who arrive in the "inbox" only. Those which are sent to a new folder other than inbox will only show new mail when you tap on them to check to see if that folder has new mail. So if you have 10 folders, you have to check each one for new mail (other than inbox which it does automatically). If this is incorrect, I would surely like to know the solution to get the folders to show new mail as well without having to go into each one.

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.

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 can i view mail mailbox folders on my iphone

I have created folders or mailboxes on my iMac. When I move mail to one of these folders I would still like to be able to access it from my iphone but can't seem to do that. From my iphone, I can only view mail in "inbox", "sent", etc. but not folders/mailboxes I created to help me organize my mail.
Thanks,
bj

Thanks for looking. My mail account is a Gmail Google IMAP account. It is the only account I have and is working well with Apple Mail. But I created some folders/mailboxes in Apple Mail to organize my mail with, and on the iMac this all works fine. But when I check my Mail on my iPhone, I can not check the emails that I moved to the various folders I created on the iMac. ??? I'm starting to think there is something simple I'm missing here but not sure. Thanks

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!

You can specify the parameter mailbox but that is optional.

Creating email folders that sync with Outlook

I want to be able to organize my mail both on my computer and on my iphone by being able to place mail in different folders. I want to save messages on either computer or iphone and have them sync with each other so that I have the same folders and content in both places.
I created the folders in Outlook but couldn't get them into iphone mail. I then set up a Ymail account and it syncs with the folders and incoming mail but wont sync the content in the folders. My mail account is sbcglobal.net
Can this be fixed?
Message was edited by: kemgreen

You need an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes on the server with each email client used to access the account with each mailbox kept synchronized with the server automatically. Send a message with the iPhone's mail client and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account automatically and vice-versa.
You can also create additional server stored mailboxes for the account with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account using a browser to sort received and sent messages by category. Any additional server stored mailboxes created for the account with the email client on your computer will be available when checking the account with the iPhone's mail client automatically, and all server stored mailboxes for the account will be kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible 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. A sbcglobal account is a POP account only - it cannot be accessed as an IMAP account.

Mail: AppleScript Mavericks: Error cannot recognize newly created Mailbox

Hi!
I had a simple apple script to sort my mails into folders. After an update (don't know which exactly) my apple script fails to create local mailboxes in mailboxes.
If the mailbox "Archiv/2014" is created, in the next step the script failes to recognize the new created mailbox.
Here the sorting part of the script:
set box to mailbox "Archiv"
          set zahl to every message in box
          repeat with theMessage in zahl
                         if (get sender of theMessage) is "xy" or (get sender of theMessage) is "xz" then
                                        move theMessage to mailbox "ABC"
                         else
                                        set datum to (date received of theMessage)
                                        set jahr to (year of datum)
                                        set monat to (month of datum)
                                   if not (exists mailbox ("Archiv/" & jahr)) then
            make mailbox with properties {name:"Archiv/" & jahr}
                                   end if
                                   if not (exists mailbox ("Archiv/" & jahr & "/" & monat)) then
                                                  make mailbox with properties {name:"Archiv/" & jahr & "/" & monat}
                                   end if
                                   move theMessage to mailbox ("Archiv/" & jahr & "/" & monat)
                         end if
          end repeat
This throws:
Ergebnis:
error "„Mail“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: Fehler in der AppleEvent-Routine." number -10000
In another script it is tested:
Script and answers:
tell application "Mail"
exists mailbox "Archiv/2014"
--> false
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Archiv/2014"}
--> missing value
exists mailbox "Archiv/2014"
--> false
end tell
Does anybody see my mistake?
Thanks in advance!

That's really weird!
Both scripts below create a new mailbox, but only the second script returns true. The two mailbox names differ by only one character.
Script 1
tell application "Mail"
    exists mailbox "Archiv" --> false
    if not (exists mailbox "Archiv") then
        make new mailbox with properties {name:"Archiv"} --> missing value
    end if
    exists mailbox "Archiv" --> false
end tell
Script 2
tell application "Mail"
    exists mailbox "Archivs" --> false
    if not (exists mailbox "Archivs") then
        make new mailbox with properties {name:"Archivs"} --> mailbox "Archivs"
    end if
    exists mailbox "Archivs" --> true
end tell

Mailbox Folders

how do I create folders on my iPad 2 in the mail application..to file the received mail. The folders I created for Yahoo (web based mail) are all there but I can't figure out how to make any new ones...thanks for any help you can give me.

At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app, you need to create them on your email client like you did with the other folders, and they should also then appear in the Mail app.
With iOS 5 in the Autumn you should be able to do it directly in the Mail app - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly.

Creating mail folders

when i click on 'mailboxes' on my ipad, it shows: inbox, drafts, sent and trash.
is ther a way to create additional folders to save specific emails?

You can't create mail folders on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account then folder you create on a computer or webmail usually appear on the iPad. If you have a POP3 account you can't.

Smart Mailbox folders

Hi
I have created several new smart mailbox folders to file my incoming emails but they are purple with a cog in the middle rather than blue. These purple folders will not allow me to drag emails into. Is there a simple process to make them receptive?
Thanks

The purple folders are Smart Mailbox folders, whose content is dependent on the conditions you set up for each of them.
That isn't quite correct, actually.
In Leopard there are *"Smart Mailboxes"* and also *"Smart Mailbox Folders"*. Both look like purple folders with cogs.
+Smart Mailbox+ contents depend on criteria set for them.
+Smart Mailbox Folders+ are only useful for organizing +Smart Mailboxes+.
Of course, email can't be put into either one.
