Emails from camera roll saved to wrong folder -- IMAP Path Prefix Problem

I think there's a problem with the behaviour of the way picture emails are saved when you have an IMAP Path Prefix.
I have an IMAP Path Prefix of "INBOX"... i.e. my sent folder is Inbox/Sent. Any plaintext emails I send from the email application from the iPhone are correctly saved to that folder and I can see them in that folder immediately via the iPhone's interface.
When I navigate to the camera roll or photo album and send a picture email to somebody, and use the iPhone to go view the sent folder, they never appear in the sent folder. For a while I thought they weren't being saved at all, but I just discovered from my home PC that the camera roll app is indeed saving them somewhere: in Inbox/Inbox/Sent.
That's right--I now have a new Inbox folder inside my Inbox folder, with just a Drafts and Sent folder. Drafts is Empty, Sent has all the picture emails I've ever sent with the iPhone.
Bug? I think so... Emails emanating from the camera app are taking the IMAP Path Prefix twice instead of once, and then creating that Path Prefix folder if it doesn't already exist.
Anybody else with an IMAP Path Prefix experiencing this with picture emails from the camera roll?
Thanks,
Andi

Ahhh interesting to find someone else with the same problem! It definitely happens when you send a photo message. My mac mail it shows my Inbox with a new nested sent items folder. I am using fusemail and the iPhone seriously messes with the folder structure. All sent items folders vanished for some reason on the mail server (but not in mac mail oddly) and I had to call technical support to make them reappear. I think this happened when I altered the Settings, Mail, Advanced settings, Mail box behaviour folders after having this problem with sent photo messages.
Now fusemail's webserver shows TWO Inboxes, one nested inside the other, and a "Sent Items" folder within the "new" inboxes.
Totally strange. I think there is a bug or two in the iPhone's IMAP software. Hoping for a bug fix soon, but until then perhaps a good work around might be to set the iPhone to store sent messages locally?

    Photo Stream is not a backup.
    Photo Stream has a limit so is temporary.
    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

  • Cannot copy photos from camera roll to a synch folder

    I cannot copy any photo stored in Camera Roll to folder that synch's with my PC.  > "PC Synch Folder"<    I am using iphone 4s and iPad 3.   Happens to both iDevices.
    On the iDevice the "PC Synch Folder" is greyed out when trying to do a copy.   In fact, I cannot even delete that folder from either iDevices.
    For what it's worth, I can create a new folder on either iDevice and copy from Camera Roll to it.  Fine.  But that folder will not talk to the folder that I want to synch with my PC.  Strange?
    The folder "PC Synch Folder" will indeed sych any picture I put in there from the PC side.   However, what is in there, does not show up in Camera Roll.  What I have in Camera roll cannot be transferred into the "PC Synch Folder"   It's like there is a wall between the folders.
    Hence the problem is ...  pictures taken on either iDevices cannot be transferred back to my PC!   I don't want this !
    This seems most odd.  Have I done something dumb and simple?

    I use Picasa. You don't have to use iTunes at all. Connect the phone with the USB cable and launch the app of your choice, such as Picasa. Click the "Import" button at the upper left. Your iPhone should appear in the dropdown of choices to import from. You can then import all or some of the photos in the Camera Roll. You should be able to do the same thing with Microsoft Picture Manager or any other photo management program.
    The reason that Elements is the only choice is that's the only one that iPhoto on the phone recognizes albums in.
    You cannot move photos INTO the Camera Roll from your computer; it's a one-way transfer. But you can sync photos to the Photos app on the iPhone. You either use Elements, or just create a folder on your computer for photos to sync, then create a sub-folder for each album you want on your computer. Copy the photos to each album, then go to the Photos tab in iTunes and select the top-level folder. When you sync each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
    However, I consider the photo app on the iPhone rather limited and klunky. Instead I use the app MyPics from the app store. It syncs photos from my Picasa Web albums directly to the phone over the air. I can also create albums in Picasa Web from the phone, and upload images from the Camera Roll directly to Picasa Web.
    Another way to get photos (and other files) to and from the phone is Dropbox and similar cloud-based storage solutions.

  • Moving photos/downloaded pics from camera roll to another photo folder on I

    Is this possible. I created a new photo folder that appears on my Iphone called "Other Pictures". Now say I download a wallpaper or some other pic from the internet or save a pic from an email, it automatically goes to my camera roll folder. How can I move them to my "Other Pictures' folder on my Iphone. Can this be done on the Iphone itself somehow?
    Or can this only be done via a mac, if so how do I locate the camera roll pics on my mac.

    Can this be done on the Iphone itself somehow?
    No. Photos saved through Safari, MMS or email can only be saved to the camera roll.
    Or can this only be done via a mac, if so how do I locate the camera roll pics on my mac.
    Use image capture or iPhoto to import the pics to your computer. Then create an album, add the photos to that album, then select that album under the photos tab in iTunes to sync to your phone.

    It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

  • Emailing multiple photos from camera roll

    Search threads but didn't find. Can multiple photos from camera roll be sent in an email on the iPhone 4

    In round about way yes.
    Go to photos.
    In thumbnail view click menu item (think moved to top right in iOS4) to enable multiselect.
    Select photos (up to 5 ... sorta) and then you can click share.
    The sorta part is that if you do more than 5 the share will go away, but you can still select more, then choose copy, then go open email and paste in more than 5.

    The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
    Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.

  • Cannot email photo from camera roll

    Used to be able to email a photo from camera roll and now cannot.  Any suggestions from you knowledgeable people.  iPad 2 with latest software is what I am using.  Photo posted to Facebook but email screen comes up, photo is there but when I press send it goes no where.  Help, please.

    When I go into my Camera Roll and then into a photo, hit the square with the arrow button, and tap email, a new message opens. Do you have a default email selected under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Account?

  • How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
    If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

  • I deleted some videos from camera roll but they still appear in the videos folder

    I removed some videos from my 4s to my computer but they still appear in a file called videos on my phone.  The file Videos doesn't show up on my computer when I plug my phone in to the USB.  How can I see this file on my computer when my phone is plugged in?

    The "Photos section" within the Photos app is just a view of your Photo Stream, organized by dates and locations.  You can see the exact same content by looking at "My Photo Stream" within the Albums section of the Photos app.
    So, deleting things from Camera Roll will have no effect on Photo Stream nor the "Photos" section of the app, except for pictures in Camera Roll which may not have been uploaded to Photo Stream yet.

  • How do I transfer photos from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that they sync w/ my PC?

    I want to take pics w/ the phone and then view them on my PC. I can't seem to get the photos and video to move from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that I can work with them on my PC. I can move pics on my PC into the photostream upload folder and those appear quicklly on my phone in the photo stream album.

    How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer.

  • How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

    How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

    How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

  • Take phots from camera roll and into another?

    so i have an iphone 4s with the newest software update. i tried making a new folder on my iphone, and putting my photos FROM my camera roll INTO my new folder. but apparently if i delete it from my newest made folder..it gets deleted from my camera roll. nice job apple.
    so, how can i, take some pictures from camera roll, and place them into my new folder?

    Here is a workaround:
    1. Camera Roll
    1.1 tap on the share button (top right corner)
    1.2 tap on the images you want move to a different photo folder (max 5 images possible)
    1.3 tap on the share button (bottom left corner)
    1.4 chose Email and send the 5 images to yourself
    2. PC
    2.1 open your inbox and download the 5 images
    2.2 copy and paste the images from your Download folder to a new folder created in your Images folder
    3. iTunes
    3.1 open iTunes and connect your iPhone
    3.2. open in the top menu Photos
    3.3 make sure that Sync Photos is checkmarked as well as All Folders or
    3.3 if you sync only selected folders make sure that your new created folder (above 2.2) is checkmarked
    4. Sync
    4.1 sync your iPhone
    5. Camera Roll
    5.1 open Camera Roll on your iPhone
    5.2 tap on the share button (top right corner) 
    5.3 tap on the 5 images you downloaded earlier
    5.4 tap on the Delete button (bottom right corner)
    5.5 confirm delete
    Repeat those steps for the next 5 images, and so on...
    6. Cleaning up PC
    6.1 delete the emails you sent to yourself
    6.2 delete the images in your Download folder
    If you don't want a huge amount of images in your Camera Roll It is recommended to proceed as described everytime when you shoot new pictures since you only may 5 images download, meaning, if you wait until you have 1,000 images in your Camera Roll you have to repeat the whole thing 200 times!
