E-mail schedule and folders

Hello:
I have two areas I am trying to improve in my e-mail.
Synchronization folders - I have 4 e-mail accounts on my system - 1 gmail and 3 others. I am using the GMail app for Gmail (obvious) and the Messaging app for the other 3. One of the "other" accounts is using the Rackspace e-mail service - a fairly vanilla IMAP4 service. One issue I am finding is synching sent mail. Mail I send from my Droid does go through and get delivered but does not show up in the "Sent" or "Sent Items" folders on the Rackspace server. Under a Windows Mobile smartphone I was able to specify the folder into which the phone should put copies of outgoing mail (similar to how it works in Outlook 2007), but I haven;t been able to find an equivalent of that in the settings or controls for Messaging. Any suggestions?
Synchronization time - any way to set different synch schedules for the different accounts under Messenger?
Thanks!

You're welcome.
Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
together with two folders that I have made (Prut
mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

Hi everybody on this line...
I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks in advance

That's nonsense, if you look at the settings you will see you can put the entire device into Arabic if you want, as well as type and read Arabic emails and other docs. The font is there, but for some reason the encoding is botched, either by the app or the place sending the email to the iPad.

Note: Mail.app and Folders with Dovecot - Copying Folders w Subfolders

I found a problem with Apple Mail regarding folder creation with the new Dovecot Server...
Say you import some mail from Eudora or some other mail client, and you have folders with no messages, only subfolders (or mailboxes if you want to call them that). The mailbox on "My Mac" appears white instead of blue, and you can see the subfolders just fine and everything looks great. Drag that folder (the white one with subfolders) to your IMAP account to copy it to the server. It will copy just fine. Now try to rename or delete that white folder you just copied to the server. You will get the following error:
For this example I will call the problem folder "TestFolder"
The IMAP command RENAME (or DELETE if you try to delete) (to TestFolder) failed with the server error: Mailbox does not exist: TestFolder
The problem is this:
Dovecot creates folders and subfolders as separate directories on the server:
.TestFolder
.TestFolder.TestSubFolder1
.TestFolder.TestSubFolder2
In the above example, there is a folder (or mailbox) called TestFolder with two folders inside it, TestSubFolder1, and TestSubFolder2. This example is the correct way to create a folder with dovecot, or if not "correct", at least you can delete or rename the "TestFolder" without an error.
What happens with Apple Mail (Mail.app), is that when you drag a white folder to the server, it would create the following:
.TestFolder.TestSubFolder1
.TestFolder.TestSubFolder2
Notice the root folder .TestFolder is missing. This is why you get the error message noted above. If you create .TestFolder in the directory, chmod 700 .TestFolder and chown <username> .TestFolder, you can rename or delete the problem folder (notice it turns blue as well). This gets rather annoying when dealing with multiple folders/subfolders, and is not a real graceful way of dealing with the situation.
Apparently there is some intended difference with the white folders and blue folders, in that blue folders can contain messages but white folders can only contain other folders. Great, but Mail.app needs to somehow create the folder on the server in a way that is compatible with Dovecot.
If someone has a developer account (mine keeps complaining that there is missing information, but there is no missing information and won't let me log in), could you post this as a bug report? I'll deal with my developer account later...
Thanks.

> It's not that they don't show up in Mail. In Mail, they are in their
(manually) sorted folders. On the server they are in BOTH their
sorted folder, AND the main inbox where they first appeared.
Yes, but what I’m saying is that, according to your reports, even after rebuilding the Inbox of the .Mac account that has the problem, there are still messages in that mailbox on the server that don’t show up in Mail in that same mailbox. Is that correct? This is what doesn’t make sense to me...
> Mac-mydotmacusername1
Mac-mydotmacusername2
[email protected]
So you have two .Mac accounts and a POP account. You hadn’t mentioned this before, had you? I got the impression that you only had one .Mac account...
Which account has the problem, i.e. for which account there are messages on the server’s Inbox that don’t show up in Mail even after rebuilding that mailbox? Are you moving messages from a .Mac account’s Inbox to custom mailboxes of that same account or to mailboxes associated with the other .Mac account?
<hr>
Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.

New mail.app and folders/trash question

Hello, yes I know it's new to a lot of us but maybe someone knows....
I've synched my mail accounts thru iTunes to my iPod Touch.
Receiving and sending mails works fine.
I've found that folders are created by the mail.app as soon they are needed (like Inbox, Trash, etc).
My question is if someone found a way to create a folder manually...?
Also: How can I empty trash without deleting every single mail one by one?
Maybe I've only overseen it...
TIA, Uli

Yes, same here.
Double deleting!
For one account I have set up a spam filter at the provider side which works quite well.
For a second account, where it doesn't seem to be possible I decided to switch off the account on the Touch (Mail settings) and read mails for that account only at home (where the Junk filter of mail works). In case I travel I might switch it on again and fight thru the spam.
But seriously:
There need to be a button to empty trash in one go!
Also the option to create folders!
(And maybe synching of Notes too...)
I'll tell Apple thru feedback. Hopefully others too!

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Droid X compatibility with MS Outlook e-mail, calendar, and contacts?

Hey all,
I originally got into the Smart phone world with a Palm and have to admit that I loved the fact that i was able to stay 100% in wireless sync with my work e-mails, schedule, and contacts on Outlook. If I added an appointment to my calendar on my palm and came back to my PC thirty minutes later it would be on my PC Outlook schedule too. I did not have to plug it in to sync it or anything. The IT guy at our plant set it up and did a great job. My plant had to let him go during the slow economy times a few years back and my latest phone (the original Blackberry Storm) has been a huge let down. It will give me my e-mails via the internet and will sync with outlook calendar and contacts if I plug it in but it cannot sync those items without a hard wire (unless of course I just did not know how to make it work). I am decently tech savy but not to this degree....
I am elgible for a new phone in the next few weeks and my son has the new Droid X and I love a great deal of things about it, but I wanted to check in to see how friendly it sync's with MS Outlook if anyone out there who uses Outlook a ton at work could give me an update I would appreciate it. I guess I do not anticipate it will work as flawlessly as the Palm but do not want to walk into a phone which is even more difficult to sync with Outlook then the storm. Thanks for any feedback and suggestions you can give me.
Thanks for any comments, suggestions, or just feedback

I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process..

Missing Trash and folders in Mail

Hello all.
not sure what happened, on my left bar... all I have left is "inbox" and "Sent"
no more Trash, Draft and Junk folders..
how do I get my trash back?
I tried delete the com.apple.mail.plist but no help
please help.

I just ran across this same problem (but only with the Trash folder). I was able to assign a folder to be Trash, but as soon as I did it would disappear. Nonetheless, it worked - deleted items really went to that folder on the server, but I had no way of viewing it in Mail.app.
I tried everything, clearing out the com.apple.mail.plist and ~/Library/Mail, but even on a fresh install the Trash folder would not show up...
Since the actual functionality was working, but I couldn't see anything, I started to suspect something like corrupt icons. So on a whim I picked View -> Use Small Mailbox Icons, and bang! Trash showed up out of nowhere. I was then able to go back to Large icons and Trash remained.
Strange, eh?

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Mail 2.1 and folders loading very slowly

Hi there,
just had to perform installs on a brandnew MacBook. We downloaded all updates, including 10.4.7 and then tried to setup Mail. Everything was working fine until we created folders in Mail that are stored locally. They appear just fine until Mail is restarted. Then they need up to 30 seconds to appear in mail even with no messages in them.
Deleting the Envelope.index-file works just for one restart and then again, folders need a very long period of time to load up.
Disk utility's repair permissions doesn't find anything to repair, even before and after recreating the Envelope.index.
I no longer know, where the error might be.
Already trashed the entire Mail-folder and the mail.plist and to set up mail again - this procedure didn't help me out, either.
As to note again. I just installed the system, today. And Mail setup was the first thing after all installs and updates.
We updated on a system, where nothing had been done except installing the entire MacOS by using the Install Discs that came with the MacBook.
Does anybody know, how we can tell Mail to display the folders properly on startup?
Regards,
Enrico

What makes you think Mail is syncing with .Mac? Could it be that it's looking for certificates instead? Open Keychain Access > Preferences, and disable Search .Mac For Certificates if it's enabled. Take a look at the following articles for an explanation of why this could be a problem:
http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/07/18/apple-mail-phones-home-too/
http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/mailapp_doesnt_phone_homeeither/
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations. Make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list, and disable any communications/networking configuration enabled, but not in use.

How can I scroll messages and folders in Mail with Maverick? It's unacceptable for Apple

How can I scroll messages and folders in Mail with Maverick? It's unacceptable for Apple to have allowed this to happen

My iPhone shows 1.0GB of memory used by Mail. I've emptied all mailboxes and folders but still show 1.0 GB

After upgrading to iOS7, I noted my iPhone 5 shows 1.0GB for Mail in the Usage list. I've cleaned out all mailboxes and folders but still show the Mail app as using 1.0 GB. Am I missing something?

From another thread -
Deleting mail from backup
In any case, I'm posting this to help others. I can't say with certainty what fixed this for me, but my hunch is that deleting (and then re-adding) the iCloud account on BOTH my iPhone and iPad had something to do with it. Or maybe it was launching/syncing via Mail.app, and/or giving it some time. Or maybe those prayers had something to do with it after all.
The funniest part about all of this is that my whole iPhone backup (with small Camera Roll) takes up 3.6 GB and my whole iPad backup (with even smaller Camera Roll) takes up 1.4 GB... so I'm still right up against that 5 GB quota, and will still end up paying $20/year for the extra 10 GB of space anyway. If only for elbow room, and if only for peace of mind.
So there ya have it.

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Reading Sent mail and mail stored in folders from "On My Mac" on my ipad

On my MBP, I use Mail for both personal mail and business mail. I have two accounts set up in Mail. Mobile Me for personal mail (imap) and a pop3 account for my business mail. The Sent folder has copies of mail sent from both accounts. For my business mail I have a number of folders ("Mailboxes") set up that I move my inbox mail to when I want to save a particular email (I like to keep my inbox clean). These folders are stored under "On My Mac" on my MBP. I understand from reading previous posts that I cannot create folders on the ipad unless I create them on my MBP using my imap mobile me account, which I am not going to do for business. Is there any way for me to be able to have access to (i.e., read them from the Mail program on the ipad) the emails and their attachments that I currently have in my Sent folders and in the "On My Mac" folders?
Alternately, is there a way to copy all those emails and keep them synced with another app that would let me access them from the ipad? So much of my detail info for my ongoing business is on emails and not just word, excel, pwrpoint files (those I can upload and keep in sync with mobile me or Dropbox and access them when I need them) that being able to truly leave my MBP home for several days and only use the ipad is now questionable.
Thanks

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

How to Schedule and then mail to Destination

pls tell me the procedure or code or steps to schedule and when report executed sucessfully then mail to destination
i am using 10g application Server
thanks
Jai

For the mail element to work properly, the Reports Server must know which outgoing SMTP mail server to send mail to. You specify this information in the Reports Server configuration file (server_name.conf located in ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf). This file has a pluginParam element where you can enter the name of a mail server. For example:
<pluginParam name=mailServer>smtp01.mycorp.com</pluginParam>
Refer the link below for details about Configuring Reports Server
