Extra Mail Folder

http://yfrog.com/g4mailhbj
I just synced mac mail with my college email address. I got it to work, but for whatever reason another folder was created with my college email address that I don't want. How do I get rid of it? (circled in red in the image). Thanks.

Is this college account POP or IMAP?
Have you sent a message with the college account, yet? If you have, then I would expect the Sent to have a black triangle to indicate a Sent for each of the account? Or does the name of the subject folder indicate any relationship with sent messages?

Extra Inbox folder with 10.4 update

Old 10.4 upgrade issue still unresolved. With update, an extra Inbox folder was created under standard folders in list. ALL new mail goes there instead of standard Inbox. Only 1 POP account. Tried solution posted in this discussion earlier. Move "INBOX.mbox" from finder to desktop, restart Mail. Does not work: 1) On startup, extra Inbox is still there, and mail still appears in it. 2) Attempt to import mail from desktop folder into regular Inbox gives message "No Valid Mail for OSX was found."
I do run PocketMac Pro 3.5 to sync to an ipaq, but I have never selected mail as a sync option, only contacts and calendar. (wish there were another option here).
I tried the trial .Mac account and at one time had it posted to Mail before the update. Dropped it because of the problems syncing calendars. Not reliable at the time.
Can't think of any other variables that might be at work.
G4, dual 1.42, 1.5 gig RAM, multiple drives Mac OS X (10.4.3)

1. POP/INBOX.mbox/MESSAGES = " 0 kb"
2. Yes, I quit Mail. I made sure by shutting down and restarting the system as well.
3. I repaired permissions previously and did not see any references to MAIL folders of any kind. But I have done so again after another close of all programs, including Mail. Below is the report from Disk Utility:

4. I will wait your instructions on renaming folders, etc. I do not have a huge volume of mail in any folder. I could transfer all of that mail into on the the "Personal Folders" to clean all of the other ones out if there would be a purpose or convenience in doing that.
Thanks again. By the way, I have Skype and iChat and a headphone set if you want to make an appointment and walk me through it.

Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

I've searched but so far no luck. Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out. First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop. I can see the same emails in both folders. Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
went to my yahoo account in IOS;
hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
entered a name;
below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

How to rename an Outlook mail folder with Automator.

Hello,
I would like to use a Service from Automator to rename a mail folder in Outlook. The folder names are "<first name> <last name>". And they need to be renamed as "<last name>, <first name>". E.g. "John Doe" becomes "Doe, John".
In Outlook that would be:
Right click on the folder name.
From the drop down menu, select "Rename".
Jump to the end of the folder name [option] [right arrow].
Select the last name: [shift] [option] [left arrow].
Cut the name: [command] [x].
Delete the space: [delete].
Go to the beginning of the name: [option] [left].
Insert the last name: [command] [v]
Insert a comma and a space: [,] [space].
Finish the rename: [return].
In Automator:
Create a new Service.
Insert "Get Selected Outlook Items".
Record the steps above.
Click Run.
The results of thelast step is: "Watch Me Do failed - 1 error. Application Outlook is not running when it is expected to".
Outlook is running and a folder is selected.
Anybody any idea what I do wrong?
Thanks!
Zojnk.

Mail going to the Junk Mail folder but not marked as Junk Mail

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me. It's something I had done but I don't know what I have done. All of a sudden all my emails from eBay are going directly to my Junk Mail folder, although when I try to click them as 'Not Junk' (Thumbs Up) they are not even selected as Junk Mail and I can still select them to be Junk Mail.
At the moment I'm just dragging them back into the correct folder but it still keeps happening. (I sell a lot on eBay so it's happening quite often).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Corey,

Cannot delete item from junk mail folder in iPad?

Some items cannot be deleted from junk mail folder on iPad 2. It will not move to trash.

Have you tried swiping across the message in the preview pane when you open the junk folder instead of opening the email and trying to use the trash can icon?
If that will not work either, try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can delete the junk mail.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

OS 10.8.5 Apple Mail fails to find POP Mail folder in Library?

Six weeks ago I transferred my wife's Mail account from iBook 10.4 to new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5 w/considerable difficulty and help from senior Apple advisor. Yesterday Mail showed a welcome screen and could not find its Library Mail folder. I've been working with an Apple Senior Advisor who is unable to solve the problem — anyone help?
We did a complete Restore using Time Machine but this issue remained Welcome to Mail. We opened that and set it up so we can get mail but it still will not find all ht extensive POP folders and m-boxes in the Hidden Library folder

Mail keeps crashing after SL install, even after Mail folder moved to trash

I have also just upgraded to 10.6 and Mail crashes every time on launch. In my case, even moving the Mail folder in Library to trash has not worked. Every time I do this Mail regenerates the folder with all the old information, which I suspect is where the problem lies: I have tried Mail with a new user and it works.
How do I delete the Mail account completely (I cannot open Mail) to try and start from scratch?
Note: I already had a functional exchange account set up before the upgrade to SL, and left it there during the upgrade. Might Mail be crashing now because it is trying to use the previous settings?

Is it related to this :

Upgrade to Lion and lost Mail folder but app still works?

have upgraded to Lion but have lost my MAIL folder, have checked the new place of course but nothing there
also missing the com.apple.mail.plist as well ?
any suggestions on how to get these back as Mail is still running but playing at all sorts of weird games
thank you,
Gordie

Why do you say you have lost the Mail folder? Is that because you are unable to find the Library folder that it resides in? If so, that folder is now invisible. Hold down option and click the Go menu in the Finder, then choose the Library item that appears there.

I need to transfer the Smart Mailboxes I have set up on one computer to another computer. Both are running 10.8.4 and Mail 6.3. None of the old solutions are viable since there is no longer a 'Mail' folder in the User account.

I acquired a new iMac, and need to transfer the Smart Mialboxes I have set up on my Mac Pro to the iMac. Mail is already set up to sync thorough iCloud, but the Smart mailboxes are - apparently - set up for individual machines. The only solutions I have been able to locate involve moving Preference files from one machine to the other; the problem is that there is no longer a 'Mail' folder set up for individual Users (actually there is no Mail folder at ALL under 10.8.4), and I am unable to locate any .plist files for Mail at all. Any idea how to make this haoppen?

Create a new smart mailbox. Does it sync? If not, do as below.
Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

How can I copy my mail folder from my macbook to sync it to my mac air?

I have a Macbook (black) and a Macair (silver). I use the black one daily, but want to use the silver one when I travel (dead light, etc). I am struggling to figure out how to update the email folder from the black on to the silver. In the past I have used the 'migration' option, but I don't want to migrate everything...only the mail folder. I have spoken to Mac Support several times but their suggestions haven't worked. I do have a Time Capsule that both of them back up to, but as each computer can only see its own back up stuff (pretty technical, I know...sorry), I don't know how to capture the mail folder from the black one and paste it into the silver one. Does anyone know how to do this?

Is there any way to fix long (45-90 seconds) delay in copying messages to sent mail folder?

Thunderbird is synched with IMAP to a GMail account. The only time long delays occur is copying messages to the sent mail folder. Is memory or storage within Thunderbird an issue?

''Onno Ekker [[#answer-615836|said]]''
<blockquote>
Folders in Thunderbird are actually files on your file system. When you have lots of messages in a folder, the file gets bigger. Probably each time you send a message your virus scanner kicks in and also verifies the big file.
You can move older emails from your sent folder to Gmail's All Mail folder, that probably improves performance.
But you can also configure Thunderbird not to save outgoing messages to the Sent folder. Gmail will do that itself, so when Thunderbird does it too, it will actually happen twice. Go to Tools -> Account Settings -> <Gmail account> -> Copies & Folders and uncheck Place a copy in...

How can I move the ~/Library/Mail folder?

I partition my hard drives into Startup/OSX, Tools, and several data volumes. I would MUCH rather store email and attachments in a data volume, as I do all my other work product, big application caches, Music, and Pictures folders. I have tried aliases and symbolic links, and everything is ignored by Mail; no mailbox is recognized unless it is in the original location, unlike Pictures, Music, Movies, etc.
I would appreciate having control over this. Does anyone have ay tips or workarounds? I am capable of diddling plists and other config files at a fairly low level, if necessary.

If you are keeping virtually everything in your Home folder on a different volume, then perhaps a better solution is to move the entire Home folder. You can move the entire Home folder to another volume, then direct Leopard to use the Home folder in the new location.
Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. Click on your account entry then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Advanced Options from the contextual menu. To the right of the field labeled "Home Directory" is a button labeled "Choose." Click on the button, locate your new Home folder, select it and click on the Open button. Now restart the computer. You should now be using the relocated Home folder.
Now, if you would rather not do that then you can move the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder to the other drive. You will then need to create a soft link to this location using the Terminal command "ln -s source target" without quotes. You must first delete the original /Home/Library/Mail/ folder. So your command may look like:
ln -s /Volumes/volname/PathToNew/Mail ~/Library/Mail
The "~" tilde is the Unix shorthand for your user folder.
This should create a new folder in /Home/Library/ named Mail which is a symbolic link to the relocated Mail folder.

How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
Thank you!

Hey PrincessJasmine,
I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

Can I copy mail prefs and mail folder from one mac to another?

Hi everyone,
My mac book pro's mail is corrupted... I've tried with a new .plist file and other than losing my settings it fixes the problem ! Instead of recreating my settings could I just replace the .plist file and the mac folder in my library from the imac (essentially the same on both computers) and be good to go without the setup hassle?
Or is this a very very very bad idea?
Thanks for the info,
Philly

Yes, that should work just fine, if the same version of Mail.
For safety drag, your old mail folder and plist to the desktop, until you're sure all is well.
