How do you set up an email folder with a different name on IPad mini with IOS7

On my computer I have serveral different folders to separate mail as it comes in. How do I do this on my IPad mini IOS 7? There seems to only a very limited number of folders I can use and cannot change their names. Is there a way to separate my incoming mail on my mini IPad as I do on my IMAC?

You can only create folders in the mail app on the iPad if you have an IMAP email account. If your email account was an IMAP account, those folders would have already synced to the iPad. If they are not already on the iPad, your account isn't IMAP and you can't create folders.
The folders that you created on the iMac are for local storage and organization only. The Mac Mail App allows you to do that. There is no such feature for the mail app on the iPad.
Just to be sure and as a double check ..... If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

    how can i tell if imessages are blocked with ios7 and can it block facebook im?

    Selected guides should become light blue when they're selected. My guides are using the default color of cyan and the guide on the right is selected in the image below.
    If you have your guides set to the light blue selection inside the Guides Color drop down menu then you won't see a difference because that specific light blue is the color the guide changes to when it's selected. You can also click on the swatch in the Guides and Grids preferences to select any color you want from a color picker.

    POP and IMAP are two different kinds of e-mail protocols. You will need to ask your IT department help desk for specific instructions. If you take your iPad to them, they might be able to help you set it up.

  • How do you delete an iCloud email associated with the primary account?

    For instance, my @mac.com, me.com, and icloud.com are all the same address. Someone got ahold of my me.com and is spamming me.  I want to delete that one but I can't. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Simply goto appleid.apple.com  (sign in) and do it all by yourself.
    This is not possible. [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] are all the same thing, and you can't separate them.
    The solution is to set up a Rule on the iCloud website redirecting all messages addressed to [email protected] to the Trash or another folder.

    All iPhones require a SIM for activation.  There's no way around this.  The SIM need not be active, however. 

  • How do you set up a contact form with response in Muse?

    Contact forms are so easy in WordPress, there must be a way to set one up in Muse when a third party (1and1) is hosting your site.

    And why don't you simply use one of the built in form widgets? They work fine with 1and1.

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem.

    How do you set up email on iphones that are not icloud, exchange, gmail, yahoo,aol, or hotmail?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
