How do I create anew mailbox in mail

No edit button appears when in mailboxes

The short answer is you can't with a POP account, even tho the Apple manual never mentions this fact and goes along for several pages telling you how to do it among other things it can't do.  There are several current posts about this.
Good Luck!

    To create a mailbox in mail the ipad manual says tap edit in the mailbox list. There is no edit in the mailbox list. How do I create a mailbox?

    An IMAP configuration will NOT allow one to create mailboxes on one's iPad - from personal experience - one requires a POP account.  Briefly, the Apple Mail app for iOS 6 (iPad, iPhone) has no capability to add mailboxes to the original ones that are included as part of the app - if (and only if) the email account is configured as IMAP.  So... Keniff is correct: One must go to one's laptop/desktop, open a browser, and add the mailboxes desired for your IMAP account. Unfortunately, one seems to have little choice for the account configuration.  Apple's iOS does the configuration quite automatically with one's account provider. For example, my Charter mail is IMAP while my Gmail account is POP.  The latter allows edit/add for new or existing mailboxes on my iPad 2.

  • How do I create another mailbox in my email account?

    How do I create another mailbox (not account) in my existing mail account?  I have Inbox,sent and trash.  Would like to create 3or4 other ones to sort my mail.

    Open the mail app, then under "account" tap on the email account you would like to create the new mailbox in.
    Once in that particular account tap on "edit".
    At the bottom you'll see new mailbox.
    Tap on new mailbox and you'll be able to create a new mailbox for that particular email account.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?

    How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?
    In the iPad-manual they mention you can put messages in other mailboxes or maps (to free up the Inbox).
    But they don't mention how to create such maps.
    In the app itself I can't find a way to do it.
    thanks for all replies

    Maybe you are confused by the fact I used the word 'maps' instead of 'folders' (my natural Ianguage is Dutch).
    For your question about the manual: on page 59 in the 'iPad 2 user guide' under 'organizing Email' they say you can move messages to a different mailbox or folder.

  • How do I create a file in mail

    How do I create folders in the mail box?

    If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account or if you are still on iOS 4 then you won't get the Edit button.

  • How do I hide my mailbox and mail contents from other users, leaving other functions of my iMac accessible?

    How do I hide my mailbox and mail contents from other users, leaving other functions of my iMac accessible?

    You don't have to shut down the computer to switch accounts. All you do is click the Apple symbol in the upper left and choose Log Out and that's it. You can also set up Faster User Switching by:
    1. Open System Preferences - Accounts
    2. Click Login Options
    3. Check the box called "Show fast user switching menu as" then choose from either icon, short name or name.
    Then when someone wants to switch users they can. The advantage of this method is if you are have a document open and don't want to close it the document will remain open. If the other user attempts to shut down the computer they can't until you have logged out thereby saving all your data.
    A very simple and elegant solution.

    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. 

  • Can't create local mailbox in Mail

    Hey guys,
    I've had this problem with my new MBP where I can't create a mailbox locally on my Mac. This is usually done inside the Mail program by: Mailbox -> New Mailbox -> On My Mac.
    The error I get is: Mailbox Creation Failed. Unable to create path ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/test.mbox.
    Here's the error message that is shown in my console log:
    2006-08-12 23:04:18.244 Mail[5431] couldn't create partial directory path /Users/blah/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/test.mbox
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Chewy.
    For some reason, ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes sometimes is actually a file instead of a folder, thus causing the problem you're experiencing. Verify/repair your disk first, as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate Mailboxes. If it's a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

  • How do I merge multiple Mailbox e-mails from different Macs in my house?

    The iSync does not quite fix what I'm seeking...a way to merge, not replace, all of my various e-mails that I send on different macs in my home. So, for instance, if I send an e-mail on one of them, I'd like to find that e-mail on my other two.
    Anybody help me on this? Thanks!

    If you adopt the IMAP account approach first - as long as the IMAP account does not have the same user name and incoming mail server as the POP type account which will allow for creating the IMAP account with the POP account, you can transfer messages from the POP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox to the IMAP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox on each Mac.
    There is no way to merge mailboxes. You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox from one Mac to another and then transfer messages from the imported mailboxes to the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox in Mail on each Mac.

  • How do I create a rule in mail that only applies to flagged messages?

    I would like to create a rule in mail that would delete messages of a certain age, but I need to keep some messages safe. I would like to be able to flag these or put them in a mailbox and have a rule making messages with those flags or mailboxes safe from being deleted. Is that something I can do? Thanks!

    You can create a local mailbox and move the messages you want to keep there. I don't see any kind to rule you can make to move a flagged message, so you would probably have to do it manually, unless you can use other criteria to identify messages you wish to keep.
    If you're using the server settings in mail to determine the age before deletion, the local mailboxes would be safe from that deletion. You can set to store messages on server for up to 30 days before deletion. This will work for IMAP accounts, but don't apply to the inbox. Just to the other main mailboxes such as Sent, Trash, etc.
    If you create a rule to delete messages after a certain age (outside of what the servers would do automatically), I think it would only work on the inbox if at all, but not sure. If it were applied through all, it would delete them from the local folders also.
    You can create a smart mailbox and input certain criteria such as flagged, age. You could exclude any mailbox that you don't want to include, such as local folders, by adding that to part of the criteria. You would have to delete the messages manually as they accumulate. This would be useful when you save a lot of mail, but say you only want to keep messages less than a year old. This would help you instantly see messages that meet your deletion criteria without having to manually check messages for age.

    I believe you can only create mailboxes using your computer, not iPad - at least that's the case for me with all my IMAP accounts. 

  • How do I create to do in mail.app in Lion OS X

    I am new to Mac itself and bought Lion OS X. How do you create a "to do" in mail.app. when I read some user posts, I got to understand that right click on the message gives you a "to do" option. however I do not see it.

    That feature was taken away with Lion.  It was in 10.6 (Snow Leopard):

    To Do Items: Forget manually adding a new item to your To Do list every time an email hits your inbox. Use To Dos by simply highlighting text in an email, then clicking the To Do button to create a To Do from a message. Include a due date, set an alarm, or assign priorities. Every To Do includes a link to the original email or note, and To Do automatically appear in iCal, complete with any changes you make. And since To Dos are stored with your email (when using an IMAP mail service like MobileMe), you can access them from Mail on any Mac.

  • How do you add new mailboxes in mail? Tried what manual showed, didn't see edit option in mailboxes

    How do you set up new mailboxes in mail? Followed manual's directions, didn't see edit option in mailboxes.

    What type of email account is it ? As far as I know it only works with IMAP accounts (it doesn't work with my POP account), and you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that are currently on that account.
