I can't create a new mailbox, doesn't show up

When I create a new mailbox, it does not show up in the left column of mail boxes. I read in another email on the same topic that the newly created mailboxes (I created or tried to create five or six of them that all never showed up), that they are "hidden" and that I should hover over "on my mac" and a menu will ask me to unhide mail boxes. But I do not see the phrase "on my mac" anywhere on my mailbox list. How do I create a mailbox, or where are the ones that I did create and are not visible? Thanks.

I did not find any evidence of the mailboxes on the google site. Also, I'm new to google mail, but though I couldn't find a way to create an actual mail box in mail, there were "labels" and under the menu of all the different categories they were all checked to "show on imap." This google account is set up on my mac mail, as I guess you might be able to see that and I do receive my employers mail from google right to my mac. This iMac is actually my second older one that sits in my kitchen for entertainment and downstairs access, so I don't care a whole lot that I can't resolve this, though I still would like to figure it out if possible, where the created mailboxes are going that is......I just went up to my main mac (new 27"). "On My Mac" shows and when you hover over it you can "hide" it. This doesn't seem to happen on my downstairs mac with the problem. I can't make "on my mac" appear when I move my cursor over the mail box menu. Because this is a secondary computer, I could very well at some wipe out the entire mail and start over, though I'm not sure how to do that being that mail application may not be easy to get back if I delete the entire app? since it's an onboard app that comes with the os????? Just thinking out loud about what I don't know!

A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).

How do you create a new mailbox with Iphone 4?

When I select a mail message to move to a mailbox, I receive "Move this message to a new mailbox" at the top of the Iphone 4, but I can't create a new mailbox. I tried

Mailboxes/Folders cannot be created directly on the iPhone. They must be created on the mail server, then synced to your phone. This requires an Exchange or IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account.

My mailboxes have disappeared when I installed Yosemite, but if I try to create a new mailbox by that name, it says I can not because the mailbox already exists How do I get them to show up?

I upgraded mu iMac to Yosemite now my mailboxes don't show up in my mail. If I try to create a new mailbox with the same name, it tells me that that mailbox already exists. How do I get my mailboxes to appear?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

TS3276 I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list

I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list of mailboxes. Now I cannot change it or delete it. I keep getting an error message that I must resolve conflicts, but it won't let me change anything. Can you help me fix this?

Found it, thanks to the answer Vixen-of-Venus gave - thanks.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

How do I create a new mailbox? (Not account)

I can't figure out how to create a new mailbox or folder. (It even shows them in the manual) I know to tap the folder icon on bottom. It takes the email you want to file back to the INBOX, TRASH page. Now what how do you create a folder? Thanks.

If you are accessing an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, or via webmail access for the account using a browser, and the server stored mailboxes created will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone.
If a POP account, this is not possible by any means.

I can't create a new tag while saving a file in Yosemite.

The title pretty much says it all :-) As I try to type in a new tag while saving a file, the curser just blinks, and doesn't respond. I can't create a new tag. I can click on existing tags, and they get added to the file, but the support page on tags says:
To add a tag:
Click on a recent tag that appears in the menu to link it your document. You can even add multiple tags.
Click “Show All…” to see the all of the tags you have created. Then, click on a tag to add it.
You can also add tag by typing. As you type in the Tags field, you’ll see matching suggestions from your existing tags.
To add a new tag, just type it in the field.
New tags you create automatically appear in other locations where tags are visible, such as in the Finder sidebar.
The fourth bullet is the one I'm referring to. I think this might be a bug, but I can't find a way to report it. If it's not a bug, I would really appreciate some guidance.

What sort of file(s) are you trying to tag while saving?
Have you tried saving the file first, then tagging it/them afterwards?

Hi ,
Please verify the Information Store service is started.
Distribution Group and contacts both have no mailbox in information store. So you can create them.
And now, we may need to verify if the mailbox database is mounted and we can get its information.
The following similar issue for your reference.
Cannot execute Get-MailboxDatabase cmdlet:<//span>

By the way, do you choose which mailbox database you want to store when create mailbox ?

Exchange 2010 - Create a new Mailbox Database

Hello all and thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Here's my scenario:
In my ORG we have one exchange server. The hard drive space on this server was quite low so we added two more drives which are independent and in their own Raid Configuration from the drives that were already installed. In other words, the current
mailbox database is housed on drives with a total storage capacity of 837GB.
We recently added two more drives, each 2TB, and configured them in a RAID1.
I'm going to create a new Mailbox Database on the 2TB drives and move over some mailboxes to balance out the storage.
Question one: When we move some of the mailboxes over to the new database - will this free up space on the existing database or do we have to reclaim it such as with an offline degrag.
Question two: When I create the new mailbox database and I'm prompted to Enter the new file locations for the database (database path and log folder path) - do I just change the paths to the new drive letter path such as G:
We're eventually going to Office365 (hopefully sooner rather than later) but I just want to make sure I handle this process correctly. Your input here is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Your databse size is 650 GB. As per my experience , it would not take more than 14 hours for total mailbox movement.
You will be creating new database of 2 TB , you have already allocated 2 Tb drive to exchange server.
If you are dividing drive into 2 or four part and creating that much databse, it will be helpful for maintence activity in future.
It is recommended that you move mailbox during off bussiness hours, it will fasten the movment,as there will be no load on exchange server . You can do it on daily basis Or you can do it on weekend .
You need to take care of logs generated during movment, are you going to use seperate log drive for databse, or combine with database drive. If you are moving all mailbox to one database, It will genrate same size of logs file as of total mailboxes
size (650 GB). You neeed to handle it properly. Enable circular logging on database, after movment ,you can disable it.
Moreover, if you will create move request of all mailboxes, exchange will process nly 50 request, rest will be in queue state.
Regarding public folders, I understand there is no seperate disk for public folders, if you planning to delete old dtabse and free up disk space, you will have to move this public folders database to new disk also.
Would recommend that you take advice from other expert in this forum, before implementation.

Can no longer add new mailbox after updating to Mavericks.

I recently upgraded to OS Mavericks. After trying to create a new mailbox, however, I find that I can no longer do so. Is this related to the Mavericks upgrade and, if so, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Sorry, but there is no solution to this for PSE 11. Although it's not much help, Adobe never recommends upgrading to an OS beyond whatever is current when a version of PSE is released, although most of the time it's not an issue. For instance, it is Only PSE 11 that has problems in 10.9, and only for those filters. Otherwise, 6 through 12 all work fine.

How can I create a new iCloud account for a familiy member having a new iDevice and reuse one of my aliases for it

Hi there,
I moved into iCloud from the very beginning and started with one iCloud account for me and my family, making use of email aliases for family members. Now the number of personal iDevices grows and I want to create a new and separate iCloud Account for my son. The pity is, that I reserved his full name already as alias address on my initial iCloud account. If I now delete this alias, can I create a new account with the former alias as new primary email address?
Or is there at least any transfer procedure supported for aliases between different accounts?
Thanks for your help, lauterbachj

Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
can some one help me please??
this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
