How do I set up new folders for an email account

I am unable to set up a new folder in my iPad email account. The only folders are inbox, sent and trash.

At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appear in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got. If you're unsure of the type of account then see if you can create additional folders via a browser.
With iOS 5 later this year you should be able to do directly in the Mail app (not sure if that applies to both IMAP and POP) - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly

    How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

    Here: http://www.guidingtech.com/15275/get-different-notifications-per-mail-account-io s-6/
    Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

    It's hard to know whether your hard drive has actually failed or if your system has just gotten badly corrupt. If the former, unfortunately, there may be no way to get any data off the drive at this point. If there aren't any backups of that data, it will be gone forever, unless perhaps a high-priced (ie, in the thousand dollar range) data recovery service has some luck with it.
    If the system and/or hard drive are badly corrupt, the same may be true. Some or all of that data may be irrevocably corrupt by now. However, there are some ways that you can attempt to recover from this situation without paying such huge fees. First, if you have access to another Mac, and both have Firewire ports, you can connect the two using Firewire target disk mode. This will mount the damaged drive as if it were an external hard drive on the second Mac, and could allow you to copy some data from the drive.
    Another possibility would be to buy an external hard drive, install Mac OS X on it and boot the machine from that, then copy any data from there that you can.
    In both of these cases, it may be helpful to scan the damaged drive for recoverable files using something like Data Rescue.
    There are also some possible ways to repair the drive if you can't do either of those things, but any repairs at this point could potentially destroy data. I only recommend this as a last resort. Still, if all other options have failed, try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior. This can fix problems that Disk Utility (and fsck, the command-line tool that it sounds like you may have used) cannot. It is possible that DiskWarrior will be able to get the drive back in working order long enough to get the data recovered, though of course it's also possible the process will be destructive.
    If none of the above work, you'll have to seek professional help.

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.
    -Rich

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

    I have set up several folders in Thunderbird. Now when I receive an email and want to move it to one of these folders, I can't figure out how. I don't see a link "Move To." Can anyone help me with this?

    Right-click the message - Move To
    Alternatively you can also just drag and drop the message to the desired folder.

  • How do I set up Thunderbird to access Mediacom email account

    Trying to set up Thunderbird to access email on Mediacom email servive. should be encrypted, but Thundeerbird only finds unencrypted connection. When I try to enter settings, Tbird fails to find access. If i try to accept lower security settings, Tbird protests. Mediacom is no help, their link simply restates the obvious. the link they gave me is:
    http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_thunderbird.htm
    HELP!

    Unfortunate their instructions are about 20 versions old. However those instruction require no encryption at all. /so regardless of Thunderbird protest that they are not secure, they are what your provider offers.
    You will probably find that Thunderbird does not detect the use of port 80 for outgoing email.... but that is because it is a port for unencrypted WWW access, not mail.
    So the Contig form should look like this.
    Incoming POP
    Server Name POP.secureserver.net
    Port 110
    SSL: none
    Authentication: Normal password
    Outgoing SMTP
    Server: smtpout.secureserver.net
    Port 80
    SSL none
    Authentication: normal password.

  • Setting different sound alerts for specific email accounts?

    With the new Mail alert settings in IOS 5, it there a way to dedicate a specific New Mail sound alert to individual email accounts?
    I use my iPhone for both work and personal email and I'd like know when certain accounts get new mail so I don't have to keep constantly checking all accounts to find out which one was updated.
    Thanks

    This has been my bane for years with the iPhone. Unfortunately, despite the innovations of iOS5 and the 4s and despite the promises of the engineers and techs, as well as the hype and rumors, once again this simple and important feature, to my understanding, has been left out.
    This is frustrating at best. I have 11 email accounts and run 3 business from my phone. I am on the road constantly, this needs to be fixed immediately. Until it is addressed many people like myself are stuck using the inferior blackberry. I hate the blackberry and long for the iPhone but can't and will not move to the iPhone if it means that important emails are missed or that I'm constantly checking the phone for email. With an email volume of 100+ messages dailyboth personal and business I don't need to spend my life or time checking the phone to figure out what is being sent to what account.
    The solutions thus far have been to jailbreak the phone (don't recommend nor will I do this) or to download an app. Unfortunately the apps that will provide this feature, all require that the email be sent to a 3rd party (try and explaining that to corporate)

  • Can I made individual folders for an email account

    Is it possible to have endividaul folders in an eamil account?
    TIA for your help.

    IMAP is one type of email account; it's nothing to do with the iPad specifically. For details, see:
    http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/definition/IMAP
    Ask your email provider if your account is, or can be, IMAP.

  • HT201774 How can. I add other folders to mt email account in my iPhone, can't see how to do this with iOS latest version

    How can I add p my other email folders such as sent items and personal folders I have set up to m iPhone Mail. It's a hotmail account and I am on latest b
    Version of iOS. I had them sent up on old version of iOS but the new iOS removed them and I can't see his to add then back.
    Thanks,

    That's not a supported function of the calendar on iOS. I believe it is because iOS syncs directly with the Exchange Server using Active Sync.  I could be wrong, but I don't believe ActiveSync supports this feature (thus, it's not actually a missing feature in iOS, it's a missing feature in ActiveSync, which is a Microsoft product).
    BB uses an intermediary service and does not sync directly between the device and the Exchange server.

  • Separting inboxes for each email account

    I have just begun using Mail.app (because it supports Exchange; I was using Thunderbird). What I don't like, is how my inbox folders for all of my separate email accounts are grouped together under one "Inbox" header -- is there anyway to have the incoming/inbox folder to be grouped with the rest of the folders that correspond with that email account?

    is there anyway to have the incoming/inbox folder to be grouped with the rest of the folders that correspond with that email account?
    The short answer to that would be 'No'. Besides, there are only a maximum of three folders for each email account, and they are all separate from each other, which is the way it should be.

    No - but you can change the sound for the email the notification in the settings .... Settings>General>Sounds>New Mail> and select another sound from the list, but that will use the same sound for all of your email accounts.
