How can i view mail mailbox folders on my iphone

I have created folders or mailboxes on my iMac. When I move mail to one of these folders I would still like to be able to access it from my iphone but can't seem to do that. From my iphone, I can only view mail in "inbox", "sent", etc. but not folders/mailboxes I created to help me organize my mail.
Thanks,
bj

Thanks for looking. My mail account is a Gmail Google IMAP account. It is the only account I have and is working well with Apple Mail. But I created some folders/mailboxes in Apple Mail to organize my mail with, and on the iMac this all works fine. But when I check my Mail on my iPhone, I can not check the emails that I moved to the various folders I created on the iMac. ??? I'm starting to think there is something simple I'm missing here but not sure. Thanks

How can you tag mail as junk on my iphone?

How can you tag mail as junk on my iphone?

If you have updated to iOS7, this is incorrect.
To mark and file your mail as junk on iPhone, do this:
When looking in your mailbox at the list of emails:
1. Choose the email you wish to send to Junk (do not open it)
2. Swipe it to the left.
You will see on the right 2 choices: Trash or More.
3. Choose More
Now you will see the choice to move it to Junk. When you do this it will create a Junk folder for that mailbox.

How do I copy mail mailbox folders from an external drive

My old Macbook Air (2009) has died - logic board failed - so I have removed the ssd drive and mounted it in a Runcore usb enclosure from C Memory - worked a treat. I would like to copy a number of Mail mailboxes I used for archiving old email messages from this drive on to my new Macbook Air but cannot see them or the user library folders on the now external drive. Any ideas welcome. Tim

Copy the contents of the folder on the external drive to your user folder on the new hard drive. Example - replace the Music folder with the old one. If you have folders that are the same name it should ask you if it is okay to replace the new ones. Be sure you don't have anything in the folders you replace, as you would lose any contents.

When Mail is Open on iMac, how can I keep mail from also going to iPhone?

I spend most of the day on my iMac, with Apple Mail open. Over a few hours, I get dozens or more emails. I deal with them on my Mac as they come in or I have time. Now the same emails also show up on my iPhone and iPad. How can I keep from having the emails sent to my iPhone and iPad when I have mail open on my iMac? It used to be that when my iMac was open and mail on, I couldn't get mail on my iPhone, which is just what I wanted.
I've messed around with mail preferences, but maybe don't know what to set. (I know I can inactivate my account on the iPhone and iPad, but don't always remember to do that.)

If you can remember to do that, your problem is solved.

HT204088 How can I view purchased history on my iTunes iPhone app

I would like to know how much I owe iTunes I bought some songs and I went over. How can I check on my iPhone iTunes app?

You can't. It can only be viewed on the desktop version of iTunes Store. You have to sign in on the upper right part of the iTunes Store window and there is an line item that shows past receipts.

How can i view the last location of my iPhone 24h after i lost it

Hey Guys,
i lost my iPhone and i'm not quite sure where to look for it
unfortunately (but logically by murphys law) it ran out of energy short after i lost it so i could not locate it with the "Where's my iPhone?" App. I've read that you can view the last location until 24h after it ran out of energy. Is there any posibility to see that position even after 24h? I was pretty dumb not to look up the position first so these 24 hours passed away before i could use that function.
I don't know if that matters:
The device is an iPhone 4.Gen iOS 6.1.4 with WiFi, 3G and GPS enabled when lost.
Thank you very much
Greetings from Germany!

I use FMiP from time to time and my experience is (when using the browser logged into icloud.com) a red message appears on the map indicating the last known position, but this seems to happen only when I very recently performed a search for the device and it was found. Otherwise, if no red notice appears, then you either find it now or get the message that it's unavailable. So if you don't get such a red message, I'd say icloud doesn't have a past location.

I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account. How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account. How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

Mail:IMAP:folders on an iPhone

How do I (or can I) view the same folders on an iPhone as I see on my desktop?

Yes, I'm usually Larry. And I had the same experience with my mother.
In Apple Mail if you look in the bar on the left you should see a heading called "Mailboxes", then under that Inbox with one inbox for each email account (if you only have one account that will be pretty simple; I have 10 different email addresses).
If you look further down you should see Flagged, Sent, Junk, Trash, maybe Archive, Smart Mailboxes and you might see an entry with the name of your email account. Below that you should see a heading On My Mac. If your folders are listed under that heading that's why they are not syncing.
To fix it right click on the Inbox and choose New Mailbox. Create one with any name; Test is good enough. This should add an entry with the name of the account, and it should have under it the Test that you just created.
You can now just click and drag the folders to the new heading that Test belongs to and they should sync.
Note that if the folders are already listed under a heading for your account then there's a different problem that we have to troubleshoot.

Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
(I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
* Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
* Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
the other device and the remote storage place?
* The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
* One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
Thanks in advance.

The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.

How can I remove a mailbox address from the "From" drop down box in a new e-mail my old e-mail address continue to populate as the sender address

Hello,
Try Mail>Preferences>Accounts icon>Account Information tab>Click on the Outgoing SMTP server drop down, choose edit Server list, highlight the old one & click Remove.
(Such convolution is worthy of Windows® in my estimation)

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
Background:
I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
What I've tried that seems to work:
This seemed to work:
1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Daniel

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.
