Don't Like New Mailbox on iPhone

I have the iPhone 3Gs and yesterday when I connected my phone to my itunes account, it said there was a new software version to download, so I did. Now my mailbox is too complicated and I don't like it at all. I wish they had given me a choice and explained the new differences FIRST. There are too many menus within one mail account and I just don't like it. I don't like multiple mail accounts all mixed into one either. I know I don't have to use that feature, but still....Can I get my ORIGINAL mailbox back?

Completely agree. I spent 2 hours last night downloading the upgrade as an app required the new OS. The ridiculous mail system really *****. I have a mail in my inbox from Geoff. When I open the mail I find another 4 potential mails and find the latest is from Mike not Geoff. How confusing, time consuming and unnecessary.
I now have to spend another night trying to go back to the previous OS.
I used to like iphone - am really disappointed with the lack of forethought and practicality on this issue.

How do you create a new mailbox with Iphone 4?

When I select a mail message to move to a mailbox, I receive "Move this message to a new mailbox" at the top of the Iphone 4, but I can't create a new mailbox. I tried

Mailboxes/Folders cannot be created directly on the iPhone. They must be created on the mail server, then synced to your phone. This requires an Exchange or IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account.

It is not easier to use TV guide - you cannot just switch on TV you have to negotiate all the categories .
Also when listening to radio you get constant advertising of TV programmes - WHY ?
Very disapointed

Can't burn CD can't sync to MP3---really don't like newer version of iTunes

NEED HELP FAST

Sorry, it did not.
You must have converted them.
iTunes has always and only been 128 kbps AAC.

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do?

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do so I iPhoto becomes an option in iTunes?

I didn't have iPhoto so I had to purchase it from the App store but that didn't help. I think the problem is because my devices still think they are synced to the previous version of my mac, but I don't know how to get them to sync with the new setup.

How do I add a new mailbox on my iPhone?

How do I add a new mailbox on my iPhone 4S. I have tried going to the "Mailboxes" and selecting edit but that just takes me to the "New Message" screen.

I don't need a "New Account". I would like to add some mailbox folders to store mail I choose to keep. Currently my choices are only:
Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Trash
Does iPhone allow for additional folders within mailboxes?
Re: How do I add a new mailbox on my iPhone?

What??? You Can't Create New Mailboxes on an iPhone???

How incredibly stupid is that???
So I finally decide to buy one of these things (two, actually, since I can't get one unless my wife gets one too...) and one of the first things I tried to do is... move a message from the inbox to.... ANY other folder. There, at the bottom of the message, is the icon... a folder with an arrow. Tap that... and... what's this?? You can't create a new mailbox?
Oh wait, maybe you have to create the mailboxes in Mail on your MacBook, an then sync them to the iPhone. Nope, that doesn't work either.
So maybe you wind up on the phone with some charmin lass in Bangalore and you listen incredulously as she tells you that this INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND S.O.P. CAN'T BE DONE with an iPhone!!!
And then you tell her... but... there it is, right in the user manual I downloaded. Three mailboxes in addition to "inbox" "sent" and "trash." Where did they come from???
Then you spend 10 minutes on dead silence, on hold, and she comes back and says, oh, you can only do that with an iMap account! Like, hotmail or gmail or something.
Well, I don't have hotmail or gmail (I do have Yahoo Mail but don't actually use it for anything) I have Apple Mail on my MacBook. Are they telling me that the mail program on this most-expensive-smartphone in the world is really so stupid that it can't create a mailbox?? That every message I want to keep on the thing has to be kept in the inbox? How stupid IS THAT???
So, please, somebody.... tell me I'm wrong about this -- that lovely Ms. Bangalore is wrong about this... and tell me how I can create an additional mail box on my iPhone so that I don't wind up with 1,000 messages in my inbox.
Really, how hard, how fundamental, is a task like that?
Thanks,

With .Mac you get 10GB of storage, you can divide that between email, and web/iDisk space by logging in and going to your account settings on www.mac.com.
EDIT: When my mailbox on an IMAP server that limits to 200MB starts to get full, I move old messages to a "local" or "On My Mac" folder on my computer.
Thanks again for all the patient counsel around this issue. Here's the latest, in case anybody's still paying attention.
I've been able to convert my primary e-mail account from POP to IMAP, so that it is now fully syncable with my iPhone. However, I'm still a long way from migrating my entire e-mail operation to Mac Mail.
That is actually something that I would like to do. But I'm having a hard time now figuring out what exactly will be my "e-mail strategy" going forward.
Presently, I am still doing most of my e-mail (which is a large part of my work) using Eudora in Windows on the Mac (via Parallels). I have had to do that mostly because I have thousands of messages in folders in Eudora, and I have been relying heavily on Eudora's robust search functions to find material that has formed the basis of a book I've been writing. For that and other reasons I have had to continue running Windows even as I've been migrating to the Mac platform.
Now that a first draft of the book is done, I would love to abandon Windows altogether. I'm much happier in a pure Mac environment.
But switching to IMAP for MacMail has actually made the prospect more difficult, because the service that hosts my primary e-mail account only allows 100MB of storage on their IMAP servers. I have hundreds of folders and several GB of files and folders in Eudora; with that kind of limit, I really can't see moving all those files and folders into MacMail, and having them sync'd to the server. It's impossible, actually.
I do not need access to 98% of what I have stored in Eudora from more than one client. So it really doesn't need to be part of my IMAP scenario.
What I do need is a way to clear from the server e-mail that I want to keep locally. How do I do that if everything in an IMAP client is duplicated on the server?
As it is, the next time I start Eudora in Windows, it is going to download all the e-mail and delete it from the servers. Then the next time I start MacMail, it will all disappear from MacMail because it's been deleted from the server, right? That's not such a bad thing, because it clears the servers and because MacMail is not (yet) the permanent repository of my vast e-mail archives.
This gets confusing to even contemplate, let alone write about. Bottom line is a) how do I make MacMail my main e-mail program when there is surely going to be more than 100MB of data I want to maintain, and/or b) how do I preserve the e-mail that I do want to save locally if my primary account is IMAP and I don't want to keep everything on the server.
Remember, this whole issue arises because 98% of what arrives on my handheld (previously a Treo 650) I could just delete, and the other 2% I could save to a separate folder. But that was a POP account. Now I've had to alter my entire e-mail regimen JUST so I can have a folder for "keepers" on my handheld. And I SURE don't need those those thousands of e-mails in my permanent archives on the hand held (even if there is room for them).
Sorry, I keep trying to boil it down to a simple question, and it keeps getting complicated. Is there a primer on IMAP management that somebody can refer me to?
Thanks,

New mailboxes and rules on iPhone 3G

Can you create new mailboxes on the iPhone in addition to the ones that come with your mail service? And can you create rules so that you can filter messages to said mailboxes?
I would like to be able to filter some of my mail to a separate mailbox so that I don't have to look at them every time I open the inBox--too many e-mails from certain lists etc...
I guess one solution is to subscribe to such lists from a separate account... but that is less than ideal too...

And no error message provided - the apps downloaded with iTunes on your computer just don't transfer?
Try de-authorizing your computer with your iTunes account followed by re-authorizing it.
At the iTunes menu bar go to Store and select Deauthorize Computer. Follow this by re-authorizing.

I am new to the iPhone 3G S. How do you transfer your information from your old smartphone to your iPhone? Like pictures, ringtones, and contacts?

How do you transfer your information, like photos, ringtones, and contact information from my Blackberry Torch to my new iPhone 3G S? I am new to the iPhone and don't remember the website I was told at the store in order to do these task. I already registered my phone and set up an AppleID.

Ringtones from another phone will not work on iphone.
You will have to create iphone ringtones. Google will find several ways to do this.
Contacts, calendars,photos, etc should be on your computer. From there you can sync them to iphone.

I just updated to ios 7.0. I really don't like it! How can I go back to the old iphone software?

Hello! So I updated my iphone 4s software a few days ago to the ios 7.0. I really don't like it! The calendar is the worst part of it! I used to love the calendar, notes and clock/timer app on my iphone! Now I hate the new layouts and how they work! Is there any way to go back to the older software on my iphone?

I was in the same situation. Today I went to my wireless carrier's store and upgraded my hardware to iPhone5. It comes with iOS 6.1.4.
I had backed up my 4S before foolishly installing iOS7, so I was able to recover all the apps, most settings, etc., as usual, in iTunes.
Hope this helps.
