How do I configure mail to keep email in my inbox longer other than archive?

Email in the Mail program stays in my inbox only so long and then it goes away.  I cannot figure out how to set email to stay there until I delete it or archive it.  Can someone point me to the configuration on this?  I'm using POP and IMAP accounts in the Mail app.  Thanks.

In the accounts preferences you can configure POP accounts to leave mail on the server.
If you don't have it set to leave mail on the server then whichever device reads the mail will have the mail downloaded to it.
That is the advantage of imap accounts. You can read from any device and the mail remains on the server unless you specifically move it.
By the way, comcast accounts can now be set up as imap in Mail.

  • How can you configure mail settings in process chains?

    HI Experts,
    please let me know how can you configure mail settings in process chains?

    Dear Suman,
    To initiate the mails we first need to have SMTP connection. To check the same go to so00 and try sending mails to ur ID. If is successful it states that u have the SMTP access.
    To create mails to Process chains:
    Right Click on the Process varient select the Create Message in the context menu.
    Select the type of mail i.e for successful, Error, Anyways.
    Then follow the screens.
    Note: The recipient type should be Via Internet.
    Hope this helps u.
    Regards,

    you ust to download activation.jar and mail.jar and add them to your build path.
    i have used the googlemail smtp server to send mail the code is following:
    public void SendMail()
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.user", username);
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
    props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
    try{
         Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator(username,password);
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
    MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    msg.setText(text);
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(senderEmail));
    msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(receiver));
    Transport.send(msg);
    }catch(Exception ex) {
         System.out.println("Error Sending:");
    System.out.println(ex.getMessage().toString());
    and this the SMTPAuthenticator Class which you will need too.
    class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
         private String fUser;
         private String fPassword;
         public SMTPAuthenticator(String user, String password) {
         fUser = user;
         fPassword = password;
         public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
         return new PasswordAuthentication(fUser, fPassword);
         }

    That issue can be caused by the FastestFox extension.
    * FastestFox Options > General, uncheck "Enhance Awesomebar"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    If you installed a Security Update early this month, about the 2nd or so, and not one since then, run Software Update - if it offers another Security Update, accept and install that one. The original Feb 2012 update had some flaws with regard to MS software in particular; the follow-up update fixed those.

    How do I upload a photo/graphic to facebook from an album other than my camera roll?  It will only open camera roll!!!  HELP!!

    Kudos! I too am frustrated about this change to my personal page. I also know Apple is not to blame. I also manage a page for the company I work for using pages app. And that app is UN affected and I can choose from any photo stored on my phone (4). I do keep them seperate so I can keep a professional aspect for the company. But if you want your personal page linked to your public or work page, this maybe the work around your looking for.
    Hope this helps. Now go like my work page please. Copies Unlimited in Milan TN.

  • How do I get my Apple TV Screensaver to play an album other than Photostream?

    How do I get my Apple TV Screensaver to play an album other than Photostream?

    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password)
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

    Commercial DVDs are generally encrypted. In the U.S., it's illegal to break that encryption. Because of that, the Terms of Use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    If the DVD is not encrypted, Handbrake is probably the most commonly recommended software.

    Right click on the email  in the left hand pane.  Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state.  Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured.  You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders.  The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

  • How can I force Mail to send email requesting a server DSN?

    I would like mail to send every message with a server DSN request (the RFC1891 type). I found "tech savvy" info on this archived thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965944?start=0&tstart=0
    But, I am not a technical person, so, how can I get mail to do this in practise? Or would there be a utility/add-on/plug-in that allows for this?

    First thing to try: go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Mail' in the list there. Then re-check it. Give it time to settle in. Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts (not 'Accounts' in the 'Mail' menu) and select your iCloud account. You should see this:
    'Email address' (greyed out) is your login - this should be your @me.com address. The 'Alias' drop-down menu should both versions of your address - @me.com and @icloud.com/ - plus any aliases you have set up.
    (the image is from Mavericks, I would expect Yosemite to be much the same).
    If this hasn't worked, try clicking the Sign Out button in System Preferences>iCloud. It wouldn't hurt to reboot; then sign back in again. Your iCloud synced data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (give it time).
