How To Hide Mail In Box & Sent Folder From 2nd User?

Hubby is a scary computer user. He knows virtually nothing so experiments by changing, deleting and re-arranging. Having disabled our computer twice with a user account I thought was parental controlled enough to prevent harm, we agreed that he would leave the computing to me (who knows a scant more than nothing). But now we are to buy a second computer so I'd like to make the iBook G4/Tiger his. His user account will let him use mail & safari (and nothing more, I hope). If I hide the credit card safari should be safe but the mail account is another matter. I've set up a rule so any messages coming to his .Mac alias go into a mailbox on his computer, but there is that "in box" sitting right there and the "sent box". It won't do any good to tell him never to touch them. He'll get turned around and... poof! Is there some way to give him access only to the messages sitting on his computer?

You don't say what type of account this is, POP or IMAP, but I'd make a new Mailbox on your Mac.
Mail>Preferences>Mailbox>New Mailbox...>On My Mac, then make a rule to move your messages to it, which will move them out of the common Inbox.

  • Mail 2.1: "Sent" folder lost its content - how to get it back?

    Hello:
    I've scoured the forum, but couldn't find an answer to my pb.
    After a series of crashes (that I couldn't explain), my "sent" folder cannot reconnect with its source folder in ~/Library/Mail.
    This is probably because I trashed the preferences folder (including the Mail plist) to troubleshoot the crashes, which worked.
    Within Mail clicking on any message in the "sent" folder gives this mesasage:
    The message from xxxx <[email protected]> concerning “Carnival2: script” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    1-Is there a way to force the Mail app to repair the lost link to the "source" "sent" folder (in Library)?
    2-How does one force-download the sent messages from one's web host's servers?
    Thank you very much

    You haven’t answered what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)...
    Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder.
    In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
    Before actually posting that information, edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you should keep private, e.g. replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    I Think that you had a corrupt email or an email with a really large attachment in that folder and it is now causing the mail app to crash. When the app closes and goes back to the home screen, that is an app crashing. I would try to delete this folder on the server. Log into your Gmail in a web browser and try to delete it there. If you delete it there, that will delete it on the iPad.

  • How do I delete 132 e-mails in the sent folder that I can't see?

    My 'Sent' folder is showing 132 e-mails in summary but when I click on the folder itself, nothing is visible! The folder appears empty.
    Also, my e-mail application is occupying 2.0GB of space on the iPad. How do I reduce the size of the application?
    Many thanks!

    Close the mail app completely, and reset the iPad. Closing the app and resetting may allow the emails to reappear and/or it might reduce the email storage on the device - assuming that something is out of whack.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to get the draft and sent folder in java mail

    i found the File Not Found error while accessing the draft,sent folder to fecth from the mail sever using IMAP. i m using the code like tis
    draft=store.getFolder("draft");
    sent=store.getFolder("sent");
    And i want to know whether the draft,sent,trash folder is default like inbox or not

    There are probably no folders with those names on your IMAP server.
    Unlike INBOX, there are no standard names for "draft" or "sent" folders,
    so you need to know exactly what name is used by the other email
    clients you're using.

  • How to disable "grouping" function in sent folder?

    In the latest update of Mail, 2.0.5, the sent folder has a new column heading that looks like two little diagonal arrows. This seems to group email by subject text -- even if the messages are otherwise unrelated. It ruins the sort-by-date function, and hides messages. I hate it! Unlike the other column headings, this one isn't listed under View>Columns. How can I disable this new function???

    Hi:
    I think you're describing "organize by thread" behavior. To disable it, select the Sent mailbox. Then choose the "View > Organize by Thread" menu item. That menu item should be unchecked, and then your sent messages will appear individually.
