Disappearing Sub Folders in Mail on my MAC

Upgraded to X10 last night.  Today while filing email into sub folders, they disappeared from my view and I have not been able to find them again.  I have read all the postings but they have simply gone from view from any perspective on the computer.  I need these files, I use them to organize and they are critical to me.
How can I get them back in the view pane and ensure they are always available to use???
Very frustrated here.

You should create your mail folders on the iCloud server (under ICLOUD in Mail), not locally on your Mac (under ON MY MAC) for them to show up on other devices and at iCloud.com.
Anything stored locally on your Mac only exists on that specific Mac so leave all your mail on the server and organise it there.

  • How do you create sub-folders in Mail?

    Hello, thanks for reading.
    I have several domains and email accounts relating to different businesses and each account needs various associated archive folders for receipts, licences, customers, sales, newsletters, and so on...
    With a sub-folder for each email kept for future reference on each account, this is a total of around 100 folders over 4 email accounts. Mail folders treat emails like songs in iTunes and that just doesn't work. The ideal solution is to have sub-folders within each mailbox.
    If sub-folders aren't an option, can anyone suggest a way around this?! I might be able to slim it down to 20 folders but that would make finding an old email a little harder, especially if I don't know the email account it relates to or the sender.
    I did all this easily on Outlook Express, which I think is available for Mac, right?

    I've got tons of sub-folders in Mail.
    I think the key is to understand that a mailbox is represented by a folder icon.
    If you select a folder (mailbox), when you choose Mailbox/New Mailbox, the new folder appears inside the folder you highlighted. If not, you can drag it inside another folder as mentioned previously.

  • How do I duplicate the folders in Mail on my Mac to Mail in iCloud?

    I have set up a series of folders in Mail on my Mac where I file all of my emails.
    During the day I often access Mail on a PC via iCloud and there are no folders set up on my iCloud version.
    Is it possible to duplicate my folder set up from Mail on my Mac to Mail on iCloud and to have changes made on one (e.g. messages deleted, new folders raised etc.) reflected on the other?

    You should create your mail folders on the iCloud server (under ICLOUD in Mail), not locally on your Mac (under ON MY MAC) for them to show up on other devices and at iCloud.com.

  • Export Apple Mail Emails & Sub Folders to Outlook 2011 for Mac

    Hello,
    Could somebody please tell me how I go about exporting emails and the subfolders I have created from Apple Mail over to Microsoft Outlook 2011.
    Can you also please advise if I am able to add these emails into an existing Main Identity?
    Any help would be much appreciated

    INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
    I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
    The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
    You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
    Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
    1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
    2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
    - click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
    - click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
    - click on “add file”
    - select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
    Now here comes the trick
    - select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
    - then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
    Select “mbox”
    - click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
    - click on save
    And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
    I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to view Inbox sub-folders in Mail on OSX Mavericks

    Hello,
    I'm working with two Exchange accounts that have the same problem.  Both accounts have sub-folders underneath the Inbox folder.  After upgrading to OSX Mavericks, the sub-folders are no longer visible within Mail. If I go on the web and mark a mail in one of these sub-folders as unread, the unread count on the Inbox increases, however the mail along with the subfolder it is in, are still not visible.  Additionally, if I right-click on the Inbox folder and choose "Get Account Info", and switch to "Messages on Server", I can see the sub-folders listed there, the number of messages in it, and the size of the folder. If I click on the folder within this window and choose "Show Messages" it opens a new, blank, Mail window.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how to get these folders to show again?  I tried rebuilding to Inbox to no avail.  I am trying to find a solution that doesn't involve recreating the account in Mail, if possible, as some of the mailboxes I have to deal with are extremely large, and to re-download them all from the Exchange server would take a very long time.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

    Hi all
    Same here!
    The folders still show up on my iPad and iPhone AND i can still move emails into the folders. So in the context of "move email" all the folders show up. But as above, no email folders in the main menu of Mail. I am using an Exchange server too and already setup everything fresh from the start but it did not solve the problem. Looks like nobody tested upgrading an existing Exchange/Apple Mail setup to Mavericks...maybe because Exchange is to exotic. ;-)
    Hope this gets fixed soon and I hope it raises some new ideas in terms of QA!

    Mail seems to know it's there, as you described, but for some reason just doesn't display it.  Honestly, it seems like someone just made an oversight and forgot to put the little arrow in to let us expand folders that have sub-folders.

    To create a folder either select New Folder from the Finder's File menu or the keyboard equivalend command-shift-N.  Select that folder and do the same. Viola!  You have a folder inside a folder.

  • Disappearing Smart Folders in Mail

    When I close Mail and then reopen later, I find that all my Smart Folders disappear including the Smart Mailboxes I have placed inside them. Is there someplace I can find them? Or is there a setting I need to make to prevent them from disappearing?

  • How to access my Hotmail folders in Mail on my Mac like I can on my Iphone. I have 10.7.5 Lion operating system

    How can I access my Hotmail folders, not just emails,  in Mail?

    It sounds like you have your Hotmail setup as POP in Mail. You will need to add a new account as IMAP. Note, when you delete the POP account in Mail it will also delete the messages in the Inbox. You need to archive or move the Inbox messages to a folder before deleting the account.
    The iPhone is connecting through ActiveSync (which is exclusively for mobile devices).
    Since you are using [email protected], you might need to log into your account in Safari and add aliases for your email as [email protected] before creating the IMAP account.
    Receiving
    Incoming IMAP mail server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Incoming IMAP mail server port: 993

  • Sub Folders in mail on iphone

    Please help
    My iphone mail is obtained from my work exchange server which is run by an external provider. Because of the nature of my work in outlook I have created several folders for various e-mails and some have subfolders. In outlook I can hide the subfolders but on the iphone the subfolders are shown and I have to scroll past them to get to the folders below. This would not be too much of a problem if a number of other people who are with the external provider had not incorrectly set up their e-mail accounts so now I get a public folder with 30 other e-mail accounts in. I can also read, move and delete these other peoples e-mails!!!
    The external provider says they have informed these other e-mail users but they do not seem to care and unless they alter their preferences I will always see them.
    So now to my question can you on the iphone hide subfolders and just see the main folder as you can in outlook?
    Hopefully somebody can help
    Cheers

    OK, so your signature says you use a MacBook with OSX, so I am assuming your reference to Outlook is actually Entourage - well, wait - that could be home computer v. work computer. Anyway, it probably doesn't matter.
    What I do is save my email messages in subfolder OFFLINE, rather than on the server in subfolders. That way, I can get to my emails (but not on another computer), but they do not get replicated to my iPhone and do not use up server space. Just one way. I do also keep an online subfolder for certain emails, that is repicated on the iPhone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I restore local folders in mail from those stored on icloud?

    While trying to free up space on icloud, I disconnected my icloud email from mail on my mac only to find that I had inadvertentty removed the account all together. After re-synching the accounts, I found that I had lost all of my folders within mail on my mac even though they were retained within icloud. Is there any way to get these folders back on my local drive?

    In the side bar do you see a listing for iCloud. like this?

  • No Messages in Sub Folders

    So, I've got Exchange 2003 and I'm pushing email/contacts/calendar items all over the place fine with my iPhone.
    Only problem I seem to have is that none of my sub-folders in Mail are populating with any messages. Even though they show in Entourage with messages, the folders aren't showing any messages at all on the iPhone.
    Inbox and Sent are working perfectly. Anyone else having this problem? Can't see how there'd be any setting in Exchange that would set this...
    It's funny, all the folder name show up on the iPhone, it's just that if I click into one, it doesn't find any messages...
    Thanks

    Yes, it won't display any messages (not even the new/current ones). I think it is a bug at the Microsoft exchange server's end or most of the Network Admin (aka genius left out enabling some minor setting). Cause my boss' _Treo has the same problem_ (so, you see it's not just iPhone!). I ended-up merging all my messages into the main Inbox and loosing the sub-folder system since it also benefits me by other ways, here is how:
    A) I use *quick Search* frequently where you can search by Subject/From/To. By having all messages in one location this eliminates searching each and every single sub-folder.
    B) By doing the above step, you can also take advantage of multi-tier searching/filtering... for e.g. Select a specific Category +(if you have it all labeled like Vendors, Clients, Prospects, etc.)+ and then apply the above referred *quick Search*

  • All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi all,
    All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
    Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
    All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
    2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
    3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
    4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
    I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
    No need ,by design  exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
    entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
    I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
    No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
    for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
    Please reply me if you have any queries .

  • "On My Mac" Folders Problem - Mails Disappearing

    I can not see emails in my "On My Mac" mail folders! They still exist, I can find them using the search function on the desktop, but they don't exist in the email application.
    I am a new mac user, just took it out of the box yesterday.
    I'm having a problem with the mail application on my iMac / Intel Processor / Leopard 10.5.
    I setup my email server properly, then forwarded several mails from gmail to my inbox. The mails arrived just fine.
    I then created several new mail folders in the "On My Mac" sidebar. I dragged the emails from my inbox to these folders. Once there, I could no longer view them in the preview pane, and when I attempted to open them, I got only an empty window. I then used the "Rebuild" option, but that only removed the items from the new "On My Mac" folders altogether!
    When I search for the keywords using desktop search function, I can find some of the "gone" emails, so they still exist somewhere.
    How do I a) find them? and b) get those "On My Mac" folders to work properly?

    try rebuilding the whole Mail index. quit mail and delete the file
    homedirectory/library/mail/envelope index. then start Mail and let Mail import (this means reindex).

  • I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

    I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
    Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • Mail won't detect IMAP sub folders

    I have several subfolders in my INBOX (INBOX.read, INBOX.sent, INBOX.todo, ...). Mail.app doesn't detect those sub folderds on startup. Only way to access the sub folders is to create new sub folder for INBOX. When I close the Mail.app or lose network connection, I have to create again new sub folder to be able to expand the INBOX.
    This is really annoying and makes Mail.App unusable for me because Spotlight reindexes the subfolders every time When Mail.App detects them. Reindexing takes about 10 minutes and 100% of my processor time...
    I have been told that this bug has existed for a long time . Why doesn't it get fixed? What is the recommended workaround?
    15.2" PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Thanks for the clarification.
    Please confirm that About Mail reports version 2.0.5?
    Make sure to have quit Thunderbird and Mail, and then in the Finder open Home/Library, and duplicate the Mail folder, and drag the copy to your Desktop, strictly for temporary backup. Next open the original Mail folder, and find the IMAP account folder for this account, and delete it. Empty the trash following this.
    Next, open Home/Library/Preferences, and find the com.apple.mail.plist file, and drag it to the Desktop (where you will most likely later delete it).
    Start Mail, and re-enter/set up your account (this should have resulted in Mail opening as new -- if not post back immediately about that), and DECLINE to import anything, even if prompted to. Test, and let me know what you experience with the issue.
    This procedure should have little risk, since 1) you are using IMAP and messages on the server are not lost. 2) On My Mac mailboxes are not impacted, and 3) you have made a backup just in case.
    It is possible that your particular IMAP provider and Mail have some incompatibilities, but I am using two IMAP at the moment, and both work. However, they each appear to treat folders differently.
    All the best.
