How do I archive IMAP messages with non Gmail/iCloud account on iOS Mail.app?

This may seem like a simple question, however I don't seem to be able to work this one out for myself. I hope you guys/girls can help!
I have my IMAP email account setup on my iPhone (own domain name, DBmail IMAP mail server running on VPS). Email works great; I can send/receive, delete, move messages no problem.
When I used MobileMe, Gmail or iCloud, I was given the option to "Archive mail" in the account configuration for that mail account in Settings.app. However, with a simple IMAP account, even though I have an "Archive" folder in my IMAP mailbox, which shows up with a suitable 'Archive-like' icon in Mail.app on my iPhone, I am not given the option to "Archive mail" - i.e. move a message from 'Inbox' to 'Archive' by touching the Archive button - Instead, I just get the delete button, which just moves messages to my 'Trash' folder in my mailbox.
Up to now, I've just put this down to Mail.app on iOS lacking this functionality. After upgrading to iOS 6 this morning (which I hoped would bring this functionality) I'm starting to question whether there's a setting or a workaround that I've missed that provides this functionality. I'm not sure I understand why Mail.app on my MAC allows me to Archive mail for my simple IMAP account, but my iOS devices won't.
Does anyone know of a way to get a simple IMAP account setup in Mail.app on iOS to 'Archive' mail, as opposed to delete? Please chime in if you have any suggestions.

I know this is old but it's google #1 for the relevant search and it took me a while
Settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> pick the imap account -> advanced 
Move discarded emails to:
Pick the 'archive' option
I have no idea why, must be apple logic, but with delete being the default that's all you can do, when archive is the selection it replaces the deleted button but you can hold it down to get a delete/trash option also.

  • How to enable Find my iPhone using non-primary iCloud account in iOS 7?

    Our business relied on this functionality to track our iPhones and iPads.  We had a separate MDM service so we can remotely manage/wipe devices, but finding the location is important to us.
    There are lots of articles on the Internet on how to set this up on iOS 6, how useful it is for businesses (and families), etc.  Why would Apple change this functionality?  They can still "protect" the feature by requiring a password to turn it off for the account, just like they do with the primary/main iCloud account.
    Help!

    Interesting. I haven't updated yet but I'd like to follow your progress on this issue.
    If an answer isn't found by the end of the day, I will do my own iOS7 update and do my own research. Good luck.

  • How can I get my emails back into my hotmail account from the Mail app

    Dear Apple support team
    I started using the Mail app some weeks ago because I apparently needed it, to be able to open an invitation for an iCloud shared photo folder. As soon as I registered my email into the Mail app all my emails from my hotmail account where deleted from the hotmail server. I really hope that this is possible to revert because if not, it'd be a catastrophe for me. I use that account from several devices for work, and I need those old emails in the server to be able to work again!
    I'd really appreciate any advice on this!
    Many thanks,
    Pier

    You can use the iPhoto Export feature to do that. Furthermore, it's the best way if you want to keep the quality of the pictures.
    To put the photos in the Pictures folder, first open iPhoto and then, select Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Select All. Finally, go to File menu > Export, and export your photos to the Pictures folder, so they will appear on all Time Machine backups you create since then

  • I've recoverd my Ipad and now I can't pair it with my old iCloud account. I can see my music in my iPad but can't play it. How can I solve this problem?

    How can I pair my iPad with my old iCloud account?
    Thanks!

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
    Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
    If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
    Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
    Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
    Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.

  • How to send as alias with icloud account in Android mail

    I have a Galaxy S4 and have set up my icloud account on the mail app. I need to be able to send from one of my alias's but I cannot sign into mail using that name. Is there a way to add this alias?

    Since it's a sub account to your regular icloud, one can't work without the other (did a little poking).
    So far, no solution on non Apple devices.

  • Archive Stock Cube with non-cumulative nature

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to archive the Inventory (Stock) Infocube as we have more than couple of hundread million records in the cube and it is taking long time to execute query.
    I know how to acrive the regular cubes and DSOs, but I couldn't find any helpful documentation where I can know how to archive the Infocube with non-cumulative nature or containing Marker update.
    Can anyone pleaes post the link of document?
    BTW, we are using BI7.0 SP15

    Hi,
    There are two ways of archiving data from a non-cumulative InfoCube - time slot archiving and archiving with selection characteristics.
    Time slot archiving (recommended)
    As an archiving method, you must choose for a non-cumulative InfoCube, time slot archiving for the time reference characteristic. When you recreate an archiving object for a non-cumulative InfoCube, this characteristic is also suggested by the system.
    Only archive non-cumulative changes up to a specific point in the past. This reduces the volume of data in the InfoCube. The marker (= end non-cumulative) remains unchanged.
    In the variants maintenance screen, in the archive administration, under Non-Cumulatives, choose the Movements Only option.
    You are only able to archive the marker if you also archive all of the non-cumulative changes. Subsequently, the contents of the non-cumulative InfoCube are archived completely. In the variants maintenance screen, in the archive administration, under Non-Cumulatives, choose the Movements and End Non-cumulative option.
    You must archive the non-cumulative changes (for all times) first, and then archive the marker in a separate archiving run, so that the non-cumulative changes and the marker are stored separately in the archive.
    The advantage of time slot archiving is that archiving runs can be carried out periodically using a single variant with a relative time restriction. The alternative archiving method described below does not have this advantage.
    Archiving with selection characteristics
    In some cases, archiving based only on time slots does not have the required effect of reducing the volume of data in the InfoCube. This is the case, for example, if the non-cumulative bearing objects are subject to high fluctuations, meaning that data is constantly being loaded for new objects and old objects are made obsolete. With time slot archiving, the end non-cumulative remains for all objects until all of the data in the InfoCube is finally archived, even if all the non-cumulative changes for an object have been archived already.
    In this case, you want to archive and delete completely any objects that are no longer active in the InfoCube. This means archiving the marker as well. For other objects that are still active, you only need to archive the non-cumulative changes from the past, which means the marker is retained.
    When you define the archiving properties for a non-cumulative InfoCube, do not therefore choose the time slot archiving method. Instead, select individually the characteristics that are relevant to restricting archiving runs. The time reference characteristic should also be included in this selection whenever possible.
    Using this archiving method, for each archiving run, you need to create selection conditions in a variant. In the variant for the archiving run, in addition to the selection conditions, you can also specify for the selected characteristics whether or not non-cumulative changes and marker data is archived. If you choose to archive marker data, be aware that the time selection contains the maximum value for time.
    Please refer to the below link to archive the data for Stock Cube:

  • How can I make IMAP message flags (replied, forwarded) update regularly ?

    Several Macs are connecting to the same (Citadel) IMAP-server here. The problem is that if someone replies to an existing message the "replied to" flag (little arrow in the message list) is only showing up on the other machines if I restart mail.app on them.
    Even manual synchronization via the Mailbox/Synchronize.. does not update the flags. The same applies to the other flags (forwarded, read).
    How can I configure mail.app to automatically synchronize these flags ?

    I will clarify. I would like to select emails that are either:
    Replies to recently sent mail. This isn't perfect, since some messages are not important, so I don't need to know right away that there's a reply.
    or
    Replies to specific messages that I would mark as important within Mail.app, somehow. I don't specifically want to mark the messages with an !important flag, since that would impose on the recipient, and there's no way to guarantee that they will reply with the !important flag intact.
    I suppose that I might use Contacts groups and add the "currently important" people to a specific group, then select the messages from people in that group, but that is not exactly optimal, since I'd have to maintain that group manually.

  • How to associate a test message with a change document

    I am using solution manager 7.01.
    accessing my change documents through the workcenter I need to create a new test message - so I use the Create transaction button on the button bar, Service Process, Test Message
    Then I am in the create test message screen.  However from here I cannot see how to associate my test message with either the change document that I was processing or to the maintenance cycle.
    Ideally I want to link the test message to the change document however at least to the maintenance cycle.
    How do I do this?

  • Read entire IMAP message with one FETCH command

    Is there any way to have JavaMail read an entire IMAP message with a single FETCH command (similar to the way Outlook works)? This is needed because the mail server I'm using does not correctly support the FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE command.
    Thanks in advance.

    Of course you should get a new mail server. There's so many to choose
    from, including many free options, why put up with one that doesn't care
    enough to implement the IMAP spec correctly?
    If you're stuck, use the MimeMessage copy constructor to copy the IMAP
    message to a new MimeMessage object, then access all the data through
    the MimeMessage object. The entire message will be fetched from the
    server in one FETCH command.

  • How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

    How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

    You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone.  To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage.  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.

  • My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?

    My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?

    Do you mean that you were using the Apple ID which is your ex-MobileMe address? It's still an Apple ID, even though MobileMe itself is dead, and there's nothing to stop you from using it as an ID with Support, or logging in here or in iTunes with it. You should make sure you have a functioning non-Apple email address associated with it.
    Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August last? If so, you can set up an iCloud account using it, or if you have already set up a new and separate iCloud account you can still log in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that it runs alongside your iCloud account.
    If you didn't migrate you can still reactivate the address the same way.
    Anything where you've logged in with the ex-MobileMe address, such as support for something you registered using it or a server such as iTunes, will need to continue using it.

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.
