Folders for Mail?

Hi, Can one create folders for Mail on Ipad or is there only the Inbox for storing messages?

I know how to make folders in Gmail. Open your gmail account in Safari. At the bottom of the page click on the BASIC HTML link. You can make folders in two places, SETTINGS or in the left column click on EDIT LABELS. Labels are folders in gmail. I have no idea why they call it that... In the CREATE A NEW LABEL box name your folder and hit create. Open the mail app, if the folder doesn't show up, close the email app and open it again. The folder should be there...
You can also make folders in your email account using you desktop computer. You might be able to do this will other email providers.

Setting up folders for mail accounts.

Hello all. I am 3 day old mac owner (got a MacBook) and I need some help with Mail.app.
I have two pop accounts set up and all is well but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up folders in each account for certain types of mail to be placed in. For instance I would like my wife's emails to automagically be placed in it's own folder for said account so I don't have to see or worry about them. Is this possible? I'd like to have folders for bills, family, friends, etc and any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

you would do this through creating folders, and then creating rules. however you have to have distinct attributes for the rules to pic up on.
if i understand correctly you have your pop account and your wifes. if you notice on inbox, there is an arrow next to it, you can drop it down and see each individual account so you dont view them all together.
i would also suggest that maybe you create an entirely different user for your wife, then neither of you would ever have to deal with sorting between each others emails.
to add a folder, there is a plus sign at the lower left hand corner of mail, click it and the location you want to create should be "on my mac," then to set up a rule you go to preferences and then rules, the rules should make sense, but if not just ask.
i realise this may not exactly solve all the issues, but will probably get you at least closer, and then just ask anything else.

Creating mailboxes (folders) for Mail

I have synched the settings from my Mail account on my desktop machine to my new iPod touch, but none of the mailboxes have carried over. There seems to be no way to create mailboxes directly on the iPod touch. I created a new mailbox on the desktop Mail as an experiment, and then synched, but that didn't carry over either. Yet the iPod touch instructions definitely state that you can organize your mail "from one mailbox or folder to another".

I think this really is only the case for IMAP email not POP. The synchronization done between the iPod touch and the Mac synchronizes the settings, not the mail folders. I use IMAP and all of my folders are accessible through my iPod just as they are through web interfaces or Mail.
You can convert from POP to IMAP if your email server will allow it.
Let me know if this helps and if you need to know more.

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.
Regards
Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Setting up folders in mail for iphone 4 & a grumble or two

So i have this new iphone 4 and I am having difficulties setting up folders inside my inbox. For example I would like to set up folders for Junk Mail and Read It Later but I don't want to set up another email account to do so.
Almost all of my settings on my iphone are by accident not design, lol.
And even though I have rung the apple service centre on numerous occassions:
my iphone has turned itself off because it overheated and I was told by apple technical support to turn the phone off at night!!!
and it wants recharging after five hours of continuous use;
so - I am having serious issues with Apple actually calling the iphone4 a "mobile".
End of grumble.
If anyone can help me with the folder setup in mail, I would appreciate it.

The ability to create folders in the mail app is dependent on the type of email account that you have. It is not quite like Outlook where you can set up local folders no matter what type of account you have. The iPhone email client does not support the creation of folders if you are using a POP account. Only if you are using Exchange or IMAP, as those are created on the server side. The overheating issue sounds as if something is stuck running since it is running the battery down that fast. However, it makes me want to question what you mean by 5 hours of continuous use. Do you mean using for 5 hours straight, or it being in standby for a period of time as well?

I just upgraded to mountain lion and all my mail folders for storing all old emails are gone. How do I get them back?

Buffzap,
Make sure that you choose Mail>View>Show Mailbox List, then hover your cursor over one of the subordinate mailbox categories, and you should see "Show." Next click on "Show."

Create new folders for e-mail?

Is it possible to create folders for e-mail? Or does this sync with e-mail accounts? I use comcast.net and none of my folders show up on my iPhone. Any info. would be appreciated.

With an IMAP account only and Comcast provides POP account access only.
A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices with the ability to keep all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account, and the ability to create additional server stored mailboxes to sort/store received or sent messages by category which will also be kept synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account.
With an IMAP account, you can also store sent messages on the server. Send a message with the iPhone's Mail client and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the email client used on your computer to access the account, and vice-versa.
This is not possible with a POP account.

When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.

MAIL IMAP FOLDERS FOR IPAD 2

i have just added two mail accounts to IPAD 2. One is a yahoo and one a work account through IMAP and i cannot add folders on the IPAD only from my PC - how can i solve this?

Are you on iOS 5 ? If you are on an earlier iOS version then you need to upgrade to iOS 5 before you can add email folders to IMAP accounts directly on the iPad - you should then get an Edit button at the top of the list of your current folders for that account.
