How to correctly map IMAP folders?

I have setup my Yahoo email account in Mail app in Lion.  It automatically works via IMAP.
However my problem is that certain folders are not mapping to the correct folders in Yahoo.  For example, if I delete a message in the Mail app on Lion, it moved it to the Trash directory in Mail, but when i check online in Yahoo, it has created a new directory called Deleted Items, and has moved the deleted message there.
I want to correctly map the Trash folder in the Mail app, to the correct Trash folder in Yahoo.
Please help.

You can forward your .me address to a different email address. Assuming you're using iCloud, go to the iCloud.com website, open Mail and settings. You can forward your address from there. You can set it to delete the messages from the iCloud address once forwarded. If you forward to another address and don't choose to delete the messages from the .me account, then it won't delete from the .me account when deleting from the other address. You would have to do that from the account then.
I don't understand the first part of your post. Maybe you misunderstood or I didn't explain correctly. You can only sync the main mailboxes in Mail to those corresponding IMAP mailboxes (in other words, you can only put Inbox, sent, drafts, trash, & junk Imap mailboxes under Mail's main corresponding mailbox---the inbox is automatic and you have no control over that). The rest of your IMAP mailboxes will remain in Mail's sidebar, but they are still IMAP mailboxes. You can select those mailboxes in the sidebar under the IMAP folder and whatever you do with messages there, it will sync with the other devices that show those mailboxes.
If I'm missing your point, please explain.

  • How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?

    How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
    I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
    Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.

    Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it.

  • How can I rearrange IMAP folders with multiple accounts in Mail?

    Hi all,
    I switched to the Mac in 2004, but I've never really used Mail (been using Entourage). I set up an IMAP account in Mail, and was very impressed. So I decided to set up my other IMAP account, too. Now things are a bit messed up. I have these folders
    Inbox
    Drafts
    Sent
    Junk
    Trash
    Email1
    Email2
    Under Email1 and Email2 are all the IMAP folders for the respective email address, except Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash are separate, and each of those folders has a folder in it called Email1 and one called Email2. How can I change this so that I just ahve the Email1 and Email2 folders, and everything appears under those?
    On a less important note, is there any way to make Mail ignore IMAP folders? My email server creates a folder called '.mailboxes' for each IMAP account, and just stores some of its information in there, nothing I want in Mail. So is there a way I can hide this .mailboxes folder?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi mr max pie whatever.
    This is actually one of Mail’s best features and cannot be changed.
    Instead of grouping mailboxes by account, Mail groups them by purpose first (and uses the account name to differentiate the individual mailboxes associated with each account), then groups by account the remaining mailboxes that don’t belong to any of the standard groups.
    This has the advantage of letting you choose at any time, and independently for each mailbox type, whether you want to look at your Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc. mailboxes as if you had just one of them shared by all accounts (i.e. an aggregate), or look at each of the corresponding individual mailboxes separately.
    As to the “.mailboxes” folder that you’d rather not see there, I believe Mail shouldn’t show it if the name begins with a period. Moreover, I’ve troubleshooted a few cases where the problem was the opposite, i.e. the user had renamed a mailbox with a leading period and it became inaccessible as a result. I don’t know why Mail behaves so inconsistently in this regard. If all the server-stored mailboxes were subfolders of a parent folder, you could solve the problem by typing the name of the parent folder in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix...

  • How download emails in IMAP folders?

    I store many emails in folders (not Inbox / Sent) on an IMAP email account (not iCloud).
    In Mail App then my inbox/sent IMAP folders are auto-sync'd and all email messages downloaded from server to Mail App. Great. But it seems that mail messages in an IMAP folder are only downloaded if I click on the related folder, so do download email messages in 100 folders then I need to click one-by-one on each folder. Email messages that are not downloaded clearly do not appear in any search functionality with Mail App.
    Is there a setting or way to force Mail App to download email messages with IMAP folders?

    You could search within the account in question, not globally:
    # Right-click on the account name in the folder list to the left
    # select "Search Messages" from the menu
    # enter your search criteria, use the [+] button to add further lines
    # in the result list, you should see "Location" as a column

  • How to correctly merge users folders from one catalog to another?

    Hi gurus,
    Here's the scenario we have right now and would appreciate any guidance:
    Several months ago, in our 11g Test server, we upgraded our 10g production catalog to 11g and have been developing/correcting dashboards in this 11g Test server.
    Now we are ready to go to production with our 11g changes. What is the correct way to merge the catalog so that at the end, I'll have an 11g Production catalog with my updated 11g dashboards but we have the users' personal content from 10g?
    Specifically, my question/concerns are:
    1 - Should I be using 11g Test server catalog as the base and then upgrade current 10g catalog and copy and paste just the /root/users folder into the 11g Test server catalog using Catalog Manager?
    or
    Should I use the upgraded 10g production catalog as the base and then copy and paste in the /root/shared folder from 11g Test server catalog using Catalog manager?
    2 - What about the /root/system folder? Do I keep the 10g upgraded /system folder or the 11g test /system folder?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi User,
    Follow this approach,
    1. Upgrade the existing prod catalog to 11g
    2.Open the test catalog in Catalog Manager
    3.Select the shared folder which has the new reports, goto file ->archive and save the archive file
    4.Open the upgraded prod catalog, select the shared folder ->File -> Unarchive and select the saved archived file
    5.Deploy this catalog in dev or test environment and verify the changes.

  • How does Mail 4 organize folders for IMAP vs POP in sidebar?

    Can someone explain how Mail organizes the sidebar for POP vs IMAP and what would happen if I switched totatlly to IMAP?
    I'm a bit confused by how Mail is organizing the folders in the sidebar for an IMAP account. Way back in Panther days I had an IMAP mac.com email for a year or two and if I recall correctly I saved it in On My Mac as a folder. Same for a POP account I was getting rid of.
    Since then I have had only POP accounts (including a gmail account). I managed to keep the inboxes (at least) in sync by not removing mail from the server so that my ipod, iphone, and other Macs can log into the mail server too. This has worked OK. However, since I send a lot of mail from my iPhone, I'm wondering if it's time to switch to IMAP since I will be giving up several ISP issued email addresses that only use POP.
    I signed up for a new gmail account recently and it set up as an IMAP account by default. Now there's a folder for the new IMAP Gmail account at the bottom of the sidebar under On My Mac folders. It doesn't have an inbox or sent folder but does have a "sent items" folder.
    Additionally, at the top of the sidebar is "Mailboxes" with Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash and under these are a subfolder for each POP account and also one for the new IMAP gmail. It seems weird to have the inbox and sent items so far away from the rest of the folders. I'm also not clear if it's keeping 2 copies on my hard disk one in the top mailboxes under "Sent" and one at the bottom Gmail folder under "sent items".
    Finally, I'm wondering would it be prudent to back up all of the existing POP mailboxes or move everything to On My Mac before switching some of the other mail accounts over to IMAP? I will want to keep archives of the ISP emails when I cancel my service with them.
    Thanks for any clarification and advice.

    This is what Gmail help suggests to set
    Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check
    Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
    Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
    Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check
    These settings in Mail on your Mac or other device is what you want that device to do with these folders. If you want to be able to start a message on an iPhone and finish it on your Mac, then check the setting on the iPhone to store the draft message on the server. Then, it will be available on all other devices set up with the account to finish it. You would need to set each device to the settings you wish. You really don't want to store anything useless like junk mail or trash on the server and take up server space.
    You Wrote:
    As I understand it, the IMAP keeps a local cache and the servers synced. However, Mail sends email and stores it in the Sent folder and the web interface sends email from the Sent Mail folder. Can't I tell Mail to store outbound mail in Sent Mail?
    As I understand it, if you send a message from your IMAP account from Mail on your Mac, it will also copy it to the Sent Items folder in IMAP to be seen from any device. If you delete it from the IMAP Sent Items folder, you won't see it on any other device. It will still be in the Sent Mail on the Mac you sent it from. That is a local folder on that particular device.
    The advantage of the IMAP account is that you can control email from multiple devices either locally on them if it is set up with that account or from any browser without having to physically sync all of them together. Like you said, you have to leave the messages on the server to view them on other devices and it also takes up storage on each device.
    If you want to store them locally to be saved on one computer, then move or copy them from the IMAP folder to a local folder on that computer.
    As Barney suggested, enable the advanced IMAP controls in the Labs section on the gmail website settings. That will give you much more control on what you see in Mail on your Mac.
    For example, after enabling this feature, I went  to the Labels section in settings on the website and unchecked all boxes to show in IMAP. the only one left is Inbox which you can't disable. When I go to Mac Mail, I don't see any gmail folders except an Inbox subfolder for gmail, a gmail subfolder for sent, and a gmail subfolder for trash.
    I have also checked the box in the Mac account settings on the Trash to move deleted messages to the trash, but not store them on the server. That way, a copy goes to the trash on my Mac and it puts the subfolder in the Mail Trash.
    I have also set Mail Preferences in gmail under the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab to Auto Expunge off and immediately delete messages forever. I did this to keep the gmail site clean and to give all control to my Mac since I never pull it up at the gmail website except when away on vacation.

  • How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?...

    I am using IMAP and it works fine. Except "Sent" messages are saving on the server to "Send Messages" however I cannot see it on the list of IMAP folders in Mail. I see other folders, Save, etc. ones I created, just can't make the folder on the server show up in Mail.
    If I go into the "Account Info" window in Mail, it does not show it either. Even though it is on the server and Mail is saving sent messages to it as it should.
    Any ideas? How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?
    Thanks
    Frank

    Yes it is using the sent mailbox but just does not show it. MS Mail on Vista has a "show/hide" IMAP folder screen, I wish Mac Mail has this..would be perfect.
    I was thinking about deleting the account, and adding it, that would reset it I am sure. However I have my mail set to keep a copy locally for off-line viewing (option in preferences under Account) and I get the sense that if I delete the IMAP account and add it, it will download a copy of each piece of mail (for example my inbox) again and I will have two of everything. Does this make sense? Do you think this will happen?

    When you delete a Pop mail account, it disappears from the Account Settings and Folder Pane, but fortunately it still exists in the Profile folder unless you had removed it.
    Ideally, you should have moved all the emails into 'Local Folders' before removing the account.
    You could use this addon tool to import messages into 'Local Folders' account.
    '''ImportExportTools: '''
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
    Download the .xpi file and save to desktop or Downloads folder.
    '''To install addon:'''
    In Thunderbird
    'Tools' > 'Addons' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Addons'
    * click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
    * Locate and select the .xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.
    * After installing you will need to restart Thunderbird to activate.
    In 'Local Folders' create some folders with suitable names.
    Right click on folder > ImportExportTools
    There are a couple of Options on importing
    See image below as example aid.

  • How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?

    I like to use a third-party archive application, so I really don't like how by default Windows makes zip files expand automatically in Windows Explorer and show up in the folder view.
    So... How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?
    In XP and Vista, I was able to find solutions to remove this "feature" 
    In XP, I simply did...
    regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
    In Vista, I had to remove a couple registry entries:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    ; Disable ZIP support in Windows Vista
    ; restart Windows after applying this patch
    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}]
    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}]
    I don't want to guess and delete the wrong registry entries if someone else knows which ones I need to remove.

    EDIT - I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION
    After considerable browsing (thank you, Google), I have a solution that works. It is based on fixes for Vista, but works 100% for my Windows 7 64-bit install. 
    You will need to edit your registry (delete 2 different keys), so I highly recommend you back up your registry or better yet, make an image of your OS drive (probably C:\). I use Norton Ghost 2003 (only from a NG 2003 boot floppy) and have never had a single problem. Norton Ghost does not have to be installed on your system for this to work (in fact, it will stall due to compatibility issues). 
    First a note regarding the various reg tweaks that are available for download (e.g., "vistaunzip.reg"). These will NOT work - undoubtedly due to ownership/permissions issues. 
    The following two (2) keys need to be deleted fromthe registry:
    For zip files delete the regkey
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}
    For cab files delete
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}
    When you try to delete them, you will almost certainly get an "access denied" or "failed" type of message. Before you can delete them, you need to change the permissions/ownership of these two keys. Here is how to do it:
    01 - open regedit from the RUN console
    02 - navigate to the first key that needs to be deleted (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0- B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31})
    03 - right click on the key and select "Permissions"
    04 - click on "Advanced"
    05 - click on the "Ownership" tab
    06 - in the "change owner to" section, highlight your username
    07 - check the box for "replace owner on subcontainers and objects"
    08 - click on "Apply"
    09 - Click "OK"
    10 - Under "Security" tab, highlight your username and check the box for "Allow Full Control" (located mid-menu in the "Permissions For Administrators" section)
    11 - click "Apply" and "OK"
    12 - you can now delete the registry key. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE CORRECT KEY!
    13 - repeat the process for the 2nd key.
    14 - reboot (changes will NOT take effect until you reboot
    15 - VOILA! NO MORE ZIP FOLDERS! woohoo!
    16 - thanks to the original solvers of this problem, whomever they may be.
    I would like the same help that deedvd is seeking. How do I DISABLE the
    zip folder function? I do NOT want my zip files to appear as "folders".
    Why anyone in Redmond thought this was a brilliant idea is beyond me.
    It adds to clutter and makes file browsing a lot less enjoyable. I
    simply want my zip files to appear as files - with the ".zip"
    extension. Just like every other file. The responses to deepdvd were
    probably as frustrating to him as they are to me. Changing the default
    program for zip files is IRRELEVANT. It only changes whether Windows or
    some third party app (7Zip, Izarc, etc) OPENS the files. They continue
    to show up as folders.  I tried the unregister script (earlier thread)
    "Running regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll should be enough to disable zip functionality. Then just run your 3rd party archite application and let it re-register archive files." and it did not work. I got the same error that deeddvd got "The module "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.
    Make sure that "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."
    I would love to find a resolution to this problem. If anyone out there knows how to DISABLE the zipfolder function, please post the solution. I am thanking you in advance.

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes that is correct however due to use of Solaris 10 MPxIO multipathing software that we are using with the Hitachi SAN it does present an extra layer of complexity and issues with ASM configuration. Which means that ASM may get confused when it attempts to find the new LUNs from the Hitachi SAN at the Solaris OS level. Oracle Metalink note 396015.1 states this issue.
    So my question is this: how to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter asm_diskstring to recognize the new Hitachi LUNs presented to the Solaris 10 host?
    Lets say that I have the following new LUNs:
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d1s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d2s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d3s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d4s6
    Would I set the ASM initialization parameter for asm_diskstring to /dev/rdsk/c7t1d*s6
    as correct setting so that the ASM instance recognizes my new Hitachi LUNs? Solaris needs to map these LUNs using pseudo devices in the Solaris OS for ASM to recognize the new disks.
    How would I set this up in Solaris 10 with Sun multipathing (MPxIO) and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I want to get this right to avoid the dreaded ORA-15072 errors when creating a diskgroup with external redundancy for the Oracle 10g RAC ASM installation process.

  • How could you map the Records of OM- PA

    Hello Experts,
    How could you map the Records of OM->PA ,if the designation of person changes from manager to supervisor from certain date.and how can we see the changed records??
    Solution :we can see the changes in the addition action infotype 302,personel hiring action(0000) delimit the record whenerver we changes the designation,and in the orgassingment infotype overview ,action infotype over view we can see the changes and PLOGI-ORGA IS the integration switch and position is the key for map the recoed from OM ->PA
    Post your comments if the solution is correct???
