How to automatically direct mail from diff POP accts into their own folders

I use Mail to receive and send mail for 2 different POP accounts. Is it possible when checking for new mail, to have the mail for acc. 1 go into one folder or inbox and mail for acc. 2 go into another one?

Hello Joosey, welcome to Apple discussions.
I think you'll find that it does this automatically. If you click the black triangle to the left of the inbox icon it should drop down to reveal a separate inbox for each account. Normally all inbox mail is displayed in the list, but you can select one of the sub-inboxes and only that mail will be listed.

  • How do I get playlists to pop out into their own windows in 11?

    I Think I could live with 11, if I could get playlists to pop up in their own windows. That How I create playlists, I have it side by side with my library.. there has got to be a way where you can still do that, right? I'm terrified of going back a step, because I don't want to reinstall 80,000+ MP3's and if I lose my hundreds of playlists, that's 8 years work down the drain!

    You will need to connect from the headphone out jact to the input for the speaker on the monitor. The Video cable does not carry audio.

  • HT2500 how do i get my mail from the pop server to my inbox

    Can someone please help me ! I'm sure I did something by accident and don't know how to fix it. My problem is i don't see any emails in my inbox, however my account info says there is mail on the pop server. how do i get the mail from the pop server to my inbox?
    thank you for helping

    First try rebuilding your Inbox.
    Select the Inbox.
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Rebuild (last option in list)
    Note: If you delete a POP account in Mail, it will delete any messages in the Inbox. It does not delete your custom folders or your sent messages.
    If the messages have been deleted and are no longer on the server, you can restore from Time Machine.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do I delete mail from trash folder

    I know how to delete the mail from my trash folder one email at a time. I have setting set to remove the trash folder every day, however, it isn't working. I have emails on that have been deleted 2 or 3, if not more days.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this, please? This deleting one email at a time from my trash folder is a bit of a pain.
    Thank you for the help!!!

    You can delete all of the emails at once from the trash folder. Tap the edit button at the top, tap the red delete all button at the bottom and tap delet all again in the pop up.

  • How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

    How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

    I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
    The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
    Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
    Its associated file is automatically created in:
    ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
    This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
    If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
    If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

  • TS1627 How to Stop Mac Mail from Commandeering My Preferred Email Account

    For email, I prefer my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when I click an email address online, my Mac's Mail program automatically comes up, as if I want to use it to send my email. It also starts downloading my latest email. I frantically shut it down while trying to memorize the email address I want to send a message to using another of my accounts. I do this because when Mail downloads my email, the same new messages in my other accounts get changed from "unread" to "read." How do I stop Mail from being my default for outgoing mail when clicking on email addresses found on webpages and commandeering my incoming email?

    Try, after a back up, deleting the account and re-creating it. You can also try contacting Yahoo, I have Yahoo and have had "weird problems with them". Deleting and re-creating has solved my issue in the past, try it and contact them.
    The problem is on their end, in my experience.

  • TS3899 How do I prevent mail from deleting on the server after deleting on the phone?

    When I delete mail from my iphone when using apple mail, the e-mail deletes on my phone but remains on my computer.  When my co-worker deletes mail from her iphone it is getting deleted from her work computer (and the server).  I have compared settings on our phone and everything appears the same.  How do we stop mail from deleting from the server when she deletes mail from her phone?
    Thanks!

    POP or IMAP?
    With POP, this is the conventional way to use it. You download messages and doing so deletes them. Alternatively you can arrange to leave copies on the server for other email clients to be able to see them. The setting to do this can be found under '''Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Server Settings'''.
    With IMAP, you're supposed to store messages on the server. If you want to remove them from the server, move them to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.

  • How do I prevent Mail from Zipping the attachment?

    When I send a .pages file by e-mail, Mail zips the file to .pages.zip.
    The network software at this University blocks .zip. How do I prevent Mail from zipping the file? I tried turning off the "send windows-friendly", but but still zips.

    Assuming this is iWork '08 or earlier, the "documents" are actually packages. A package is really a folder hierarchy. A folder cannot be emailed unless it is archived somehow. Mail does this automatically; most other email programs would be incapable of sending a bare Pages document at all.
    You could use some other non-blocked archive format, like tar or StuffIt. Or maybe you could rename it so that the mail servers don't recognize it as zip. You would have to instruct your recipient to rename it back. I understand that iWork '09 archives documents by default, although they are not named .zip, so that should be no longer an issue.

  • How do I prevent Mail from downloading messages from IMAP?

    I just set up Mail to use two of my email accounts for a very limited purpose that requires IMAP. As soon as it got the Gmail one created, Mail started downloading all 3,700 Gmail messages in my folders AND ARCHIVE. The x button did not stop the process. I don't want mail on my laptop hard drive. I set Preferences to "get mail ... manually" on both accounts. When I restarted Mail, it started downloading the rest of the 3,700 plus new stuff in the other account. How do I prevent Mail from ever downloading unless I tell it to? Email replies preferred because I am not in the habit of looking at discussions I've never seen before and hope never to see again. --John

    This is what syncing is all about. It sounds like you deleted some mail while logged in on your phone.  This deletes it from the server.  When your Mac synced up with the server, it deleted the mail it had previously downloaded so it would be in sync with what was on the server.  In the old days, assuming you really wanted that mail deleted, you would have had to manually delete it from every device.  Now it does it automatically for you. Similarly, mail you send from your phone will also appear in the sent mail folder on your Mac; you don't have to check all your devices to find that message you sent last month.
    If you haven't already emptied the email trash, you should be able to get those messages back.

  • How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

    My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari?  Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

    Hmm.. probably not.
    You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
    In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
    Good luck.

    If your Yahoo account is set up as a POP account, you can set the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" in the Advanced settings of Mail.
    See this article for the steps to locate this option:
    Using a POP account with multiple devices

    Click the Accounts tab.
    Select the account for which you wish to change the settings.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Select the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option.

    This option is available only for Post Office Protocol (POP) accounts.

    What type of email account are you using, POP, IMAP if you are using an IMAP account then you would need to go into your mail settings and change the delete mail after a day, week, month, never.
