Help please with IMAP account!!!!!!!

OK, here's the scenario. 2 computers, iMac and Macbook, both running
Mail.app with the same IMAP accounts. Some mail (actually, a
lot of mail) I like to filter into different folders, e.g., Wife,
Brother, School, Work1, Work2, etc.
So I had Rules that would Move incoming e-mail into appropriate
folders when I used my old POP.
Now, after I moved over to IMAP, Moving an e-mail from the inbox to a
designated folder would remove the e-mail from the server, so,
whichever computer happens to access the e-mail first will get the
copy but the other one won't.
So, first question, is that standard IMAP behavior?
If yes, any way I can circumvent it? That is, I want to be able to
receive AND filter my emails to their appropriate folders on BOTH
machines.
One temporary workaround I'm using now is to "Copy" the e-mails to
their respective folders. The problem here, of course, is that on each
machine, I now will have 2 copies of the same e-mail, which is fine, I
guess, except for the fact that for each e-mail I get that gets
filtered, I'll have 2 unreads... one in the Inbox and another in the
folder to which it was copied. Now THAT is annoying.

The problem is, that these forlders you move to are local folders, not IMAP folders. When moving a mail from an IMAP-folder (which is stored on the server) to a local folder (which is not stored on the server, but on your local machine only) it gets deleted on the server.
Create new IMAP-folders and move your mails to these. As IMAP-folders are stored server side, your mails will be accessible from everywhere.

Help please with User Accounts in Windows on X61 Tablet PC

I kept getting the "Blue Screen of Death" and so I decided I would reformat the Hard Disk and reinstall everything. During the installation process, the User "Administrator" and my user account are both on the Welcome screen. Under User accounts, under "Administrator User" it says quote "The administrator account is only visible on the Welcome screen when no other user accounts exist (except the quest account), or when you start your computer in Safe Mode". This still is showing regardless that I have my name as a User and as administrator. Any help on getting this to not show would be great. I have a netbook with Windows XP and it just shows my name as a user and under user accounts just my name and guest. Thanks for the help.

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

Mail.app and purging of moved messages with IMAP accounts?

I REALLY want to like Mail.app but one item that has caused frustration for years is the handling (or lack) of handling of my messages once moved to another folder with IMAP accounts. I would like for Mail.app to purge/expunge the messages from the server automatically when the message is moved but it doesn't seem to complete that transaction until you actually quit out of mail.
I use multiple computers and I don't remember to quit out of Mail.app going from one of my Macs to another and don't want to but I'm getting tired of having to file the messages twice (or more). Is there a way to set Mail.app to do the automatic instant purging (or expunging) of the messages from the originating folders without having to quit out of the application? This seems to be the default behavior for nearly every other mail client I've used, including Entourage and is an option in Outlook and Outlook Express (PC).

same is true with popmail, not just imap.
moreover, i think hitting "remove now" just puts content in your server's trash folder, meaning it's still taking up disk quota and you'll never know till you stop getting mail...

Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

No incoming mail on ipad with IMAP account

I have not been able to receive incoming mail from an IMAP account hosted by Network Solutions, and I'm not sure if the problem is on the client or server side. I am also not able to delete messages from the inbox. (I get a message saying "Unable to move message: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."
I am sending and receiving emails from this account on both my iPhone and macbook without any problem. The iPad account is set-up exactly the same on the iPad as it is on the phone and macbook. The inbound port is set to 993, which is what it is automatically set to in the others even though NS says to set to 143.
I have tried deleting the account and reinstalling many times with no success. I also tried resetting the ipad to factory settings. This worked briefly and everything worked fine for a couple of test emails, and then I was back at square one.
There are a couple of things I've noticed. All my mail is in the inbox up until 9/5/13, after that there is nothing. If I search for a specific email and opt to continue the search on the server, the email is found and put in my mailbox (it is not there after deleting and reinstalling the account.) Also, I notice at the bottom of the folder bar where it tells you progress, last updated, etc. that when I am checking for mail, the status shows the downloading progress bar and the approximate number of emails I'm missing very briefly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Problem with IMAP account, no messages in INBOX

I'm using the email from o2 Germany with my Pre almost 2 years without any significant problem.
Now I'm experiencing very strange behavior with the same account and the same IMAP settings on my TouchPad.
I get no emails shown in the INBOX on TouchPad. Other Folders, Sent, Trash, or any other custom Folders, work correct.
The update to 3.0.2 didn't help.
I've deleted the account and created it again, I've done Full Erase, and nothing has helped.
I believe it's not a connectivity problem. At home I’m on o2 DSL, but I’ve tried it also on other Wi-Fi Networks.
My wife's account on o2 behaves in the same way, IMAP account of my friend by other provider worked without any problem. But I don’t think the problem is on o2 side, because it works on my Pre.
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

Are you using Outlook 2003-2010 or Outlook Express to get your email at home or work? If so then you would want to check the settings to make sure the email items are not being deleted from the server.
Are the messages are more than 3 days old? If so you may need to correct the settings on the Touchpad under email for the amount of email time synced.
Can you check any trash folder for the missing messages?
Can you confirm that the missing messages are still in the Inbox on the mail server? You can do this by using a webmail tool for O2 through you browser.
Lastly you mentioned that you tried a friend's account and it worked fine. This could indicate an O2 issue through Wi-Fi versus HSDPA (O2 network)? You may want to check with O2 on this issue.

Issue with IMAP accounts - cannot delete

I am running the latest OS on iPhone 4.
I recently had some issues with my email accounts and had to delete them all from my iPhone, then recreate them. I thought they were originally set up as POP emails, but as I could see all my online folders, I gather they were IMAP.
I did recreate them all as IMAP accounts, but was experiencing deleting emails whilst off-line, which I could previously do. I am also now experiencing an issue with my main account where every time I try to delete an email, even when online, I get the following message:
Unable to Move Message
The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.
I went into the Advanced settings in my account and changed the deleted mailbox to 'On My iPhone', or to the trash folder online, but this hasn't made any difference. I can however move emails into folders, although moving emails to the trash instead of deleting them is a bit of a long winded process. I just can't work out why, before all this, I could delete emails with no problem even when I had no internet connection, and why I can't now.
Would anyone be able to help? Thank you in advance for any help you could provide.

Well, I eventually found an answer to this and it seems to work. Here it is in case someone would have the same issue

Mail crashes with IMAP account. Entourage/Thuderbird working fine.

Hello Mac users!
Unfortunately, I in the Mail discussion board, so let me repost my issue.
A few days ago, Mail started crashing when synchronizing with my IMAP server. I've tried all the standard steps like deleting pref, cache, Library/Mail folder; created new user account, repair permissions, cron scripts...
It crashes on our iMac and Powerbook, so it's obviously related to that particular email account. Other accounts (POP/IMAP) from the same email provider are not affected.
For some reason though, Entourage/Thunderbird/webmailer have absolutely no problem accessing the same account!
We heavily rely on Spotlight in our office, so there's no way to get around using Mail.app.
I can download email using the POP protocol, yet there're many reasons why we're paying for an IMAP server.
Removing all recent messages using Entourage doesn't have any impact on Mail.app.
For what it's worth...A crash report can be found here
Thanks for your help.

And there goes my second IMAP account! Same server, different account, same symptoms!
This is getting serious!!!
Does anybody have a clue?

Help please with IMAP account!!!!!!!
