Organizing email- confused!

Just made the switch from Entourage to Mail and have a simple question which I have not been able to find out clearly from Mail Help:
What's the difference between a Mailbox, Folder, Smart Mailbox, and Smart Mailbox Folder?

mailbox - the root of your mail on the server
folder - a place where you are storing messages (inbox, sent, important stuff, etc.)
Smart mailbox - Specific to just mail. reorganizes your mail in a way that doesn't destruct its folder structure on your mail server
and
smart mailbox folder - holds a collection of smart mailboxes.

Do BT email accounts exist after you leave?

Hi,
So basically i am tied down to a rather gash BT service in my area when better and cheaper options are availble. I currently have a BtYahoo/BtOpenWorld/BtInternet Email - confusing is realy puting it in a nice way!
I want to leave but i don't know wether my email will be closed aswell if i leave as the contract is ending soon, if i do decide to leave surely the email should remain open as it's web based with BT Yahoo anyway?
This email is important and i cannot be hassle of changing email, especially with the huge ammounts of contacts and daily emails ..

See this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/c/346,401,412,413/a_id/13140
What happens to my @btinternet email account when I stop having BT Broadband?
When you stop your BT Broadband service your email account is downgraded to a Pay-as-you-go or Basic email service. You'll be able to access your email account for up to 90 days from the date your BT Broadband service stops.
You won't be charged for the email account, but to continue to use it after 90 days you'll need to upgrade it to a Premium Mail account.

HT1386 Lost contacts syncing

Synced my wifes phone in iTunes using my account to update old OS. Now all her contacts are gone. Any way to get them back. Did a restore. Did not work. Thanks.

She went off today and bought a new Samsung IIIs. She found this iTunes stuff and having to have a new me.com email confusing. Maybe she has a point!

I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

My iMac locks up constantly in email. I click on one or two emails. Then when I click on another email, I get the spinning wheel and have to relaunch. Why does it get confused and lock up?

I run Disk Repair several times, shows a lot of Java, "remote" issues.
Restart don't know if it helps, I do it all the time. What's with quitting Mail but it doesn't quit, and why a separate maneuver to "Log Out".

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:
imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:
smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:
your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:
your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:
your Gmail password
The Quick Answer
Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

Hi Mike,
I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
Hope This Helps

5800 email client confuses me - or is it buggy?

Have just started using Nokia email client (latest update) for push Gmail email and find the settings confusing. Two problems;
1) 'When to sync' is set to 07.30-22.00. Despite this, it checks email every four hours during the night (waking me up).
2) I keep seeing the WLAN connected. I guess the email should be activating it every four hours to check for email, but then should it not switch it off? I tried manually disconnecting it several times but it would switch right back on.
Final question for anyone that really knows this email client. How is 'roaming' defined? Does it mean when you are out of your 'home network'? If so, how do you set a home network? And is home network only a WLAN??
Thanks in advance for any help.
Now running a 701, beautiful phone to handle and use...now that it has stopped sending my personal information to Nokia via 360Panel [rolls eyes]

Well, thanks very much Nokia for moving my post over into this forum - which no-one seems to read. The general N series forum is much better for answers.
Am giving up on the Nokia email client, it just does not seem to work reliably. For example,even though its definitely set to send/receive ever 4 hours it seems to keep the 3g connection or wireless on all the time and collect emails dynamically. Not ideal. Also, I wish the Help was more detailed. The stuff about roaming, home network etc I still can't understand.
So uninstalling it, going to try Emoze from the Ovi store instead.

Confused. Is my iPod out of warranty or not? Just got Apple Care email.

I bought a 20gb iPod nearly 18 months ago. 6 months later the hard drive failed so i got it serviced. When it came back it was always freezing and i got so frustrated with it i left it on the shelf for a couple months.
When i eventually got around to seeing if i could get it repaired, the online repair site said the warranty expired. Fair enough i thought i should have got it fixed again right away.
Yesterday i check i my email and get this:
Your one-year warranty is about to expire.
This is your last opportunity to purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod.* For just £39 inc VAT, you get comprehensive service and support, and the chance to rock on for a long time to come
Im confused. Does this mean i got a new one year warranty when it was repaired?
Anyone else had their iPod repaired after more than a year of purchase but less than a year after a repair? I didnt get the full apple care but im tempted to pay the £39 then send it in for repair. Ill give apple a call on Monday but im just curious for now.

the normal warranty is one year from date of purchase, or 90 days from date of repair, whichever gives you the longest term
the warranty details are here...
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ipodisight.html
but if apple says you are still covered then go for it, especially as apple failed to fix it the first time

I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!
Cheers,
GB
