How to sync all Hotmail folders in Mail on iMac?

I have just purchased an iMac and am trying to set up my mail, but when I set up my hotmail account to Mail it only syncs the Inbox not the sub folders, is there anyway around this, as I have reverted back to using www.hotmail.com to check my emails.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have your Hotmail setup as POP in Mail. You will need to add a new account as IMAP. Note, when you delete the POP account in Mail it will also delete the messages in the Inbox. You need to archive or move the Inbox messages to a folder before deleting the account.
The iPhone is connecting through ActiveSync (which is exclusively for mobile devices).
Since you are using [email protected], you might need to log into your account in Safari and add aliases for your email as [email protected] before creating the IMAP account.

How do I get the folders in Mail to be listed alphabetically?

How do I get the folders in Mail to be listed alphabetically? When I add a folder it appears at the bottom of the list and I can't drag and drop it in the primary list to its appropriate postion, I can only drag it to subfolder status.
Thanks,

You should create your mail folders on the iCloud server (under ICLOUD in Mail), not locally on your Mac (under ON MY MAC) for them to show up on other devices and at iCloud.com.
Anything stored locally on your Mac only exists on that specific Mac so leave all your mail on the server and organise it there.

Import hotmail folders to Mail

Hi there,
Im a new Mac user and for a lot of years I used to use windows mail clients, my problem is that I have folders in my hotmail account and although I already add my msn account in Mail I can't see or access to my hotmail folders. Is there any way to import my hotmail folders to Mail?
I really appreciate your helpful answer.

That's right - it works on iOS devices. The hotmail/exchange active sync feature is only available on certain model phones (iOS, Windows Phone 7, webOS palm pre, etc) at this point. It is not available for use with email clients on OS X or even Windows at this point.
If you have a Mac or a Windows pc, at this point you can only to POP3 email through hotmail. Under POP3 only messages in the inbox can be downloaded to your Mac or Windows pc, regardless of the email client app you are using.
mBox Mail for Mac can give you IMAP-like features with the hotmail email service. It's an add-on to your existing email client.

HT201320 How do I make new folders in mail?

How do I make new folders in mail?

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

How to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in N8 Symbi...

Hi to all
There is any way to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle ?
Because syncing one by one is very unpleasant (I have 12 email accounts on my phone). Is there a way to sync all accounts at once?
hank you for your attention

iSync does not synchronize mail at all, and .Mac Sync synchronizes only mailbox structures, rules, signatures and smart mailboxes, not mail content.
To 'synchronize' mail, you must use IMAP technology, as opposed to the far more common POP3 standard for incoming mailboxes. The OS X Mail program supports IMAP account creation, as do most electronic mail providers, including AOL and Yahoo. Notably, Google does not support IMAP with it's Gmail product: it's probably best described as a slightly whacky, non-standard POP3 offering, and is not a good choice if you want to 'synchronize' you mail among two or more clients.
This sort of POP3 vs IMAP and mail synchronization discussion occurs frequently in the Mail & Address Book forum, and there are several 'experts' there—listed typically in the Top Rated Members in Forum list in the right sidebar—who help users all the time. You can search the forum by subject or their user name, or browse and look for related subjects or their answers, to get a better idea of how to deal with these issues. You can find that forum here:

E52 - How to browse different hotmail folders?

Hi, I've added my hotmail account to my E52 and am able to access my hotmail inbox/sent/concept etc. folders. However I have my mail automatically sorted in different folders with various names like work/study etc. The problem that follows is that new mails in these folders don't show up on my phone. How can I access these folders using my E52?
Regards

Here's something to try. Before you do this DISCONNECT from the mailbox. Menu>messaging>hotmail(or whatever you named your mailbox)>Options>Retrieval settings>folder subscriptions. At this point the phone will connect to the mailbox and get the folders and you can tick the ones you want to subscribe to.
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Sync local email folders, Apple Mail

Hi,
I'd like to synchronize local email folders between two Macs with Chronosync.
Both Macs running OS X Yosemite and Mail 8.2.
As far as I know until now, I have to sync the folder Home/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/"folder name".mbox
But there are a few other things that must be synced, but I am not sure which ones.
1. Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail-shared.plist
2. Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.plist
3. Home/Library/Mail/V2/Maildata/Envelope Index
Which ones of these three, or something else or different?
Why has the name of the plist in the Preferences folder changed from "com.apple.mail" to "com.apple.mail-shared"?
I don't need any information about the benefits of IMAP, I only want to synchronize my local email folders.
Best regards
Thorsten

I would sync all of them.

How do you create sub-folders in Mail?

Hello, thanks for reading.
I have several domains and email accounts relating to different businesses and each account needs various associated archive folders for receipts, licences, customers, sales, newsletters, and so on...
With a sub-folder for each email kept for future reference on each account, this is a total of around 100 folders over 4 email accounts. Mail folders treat emails like songs in iTunes and that just doesn't work. The ideal solution is to have sub-folders within each mailbox.
If sub-folders aren't an option, can anyone suggest a way around this?! I might be able to slim it down to 20 folders but that would make finding an old email a little harder, especially if I don't know the email account it relates to or the sender.
I did all this easily on Outlook Express, which I think is available for Mac, right?

I've got tons of sub-folders in Mail.
I think the key is to understand that a mailbox is represented by a folder icon.
If you select a folder (mailbox), when you choose Mailbox/New Mailbox, the new folder appears inside the folder you highlighted. If not, you can drag it inside another folder as mentioned previously.
