I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail. How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere. Thanks

Hello blu monkey,
I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below. When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it. When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

I have deleted bookmarks, but they still show up in the 'unorganized bookmarks', how do I get rid of them? They do not show up on the bookmarks menu or toolbar, or 'organize bookmarks' Please help

There is a total of three. I have tried many different ways, but can't get rid of them. They are not bookmarked on Firefox, but in the past there was a person on this computer that used my 'side' of the home computer without authorization. I will try erasing history next, other than that, haven't the slightest idea of how to get rid of them. I don't go to those sites, and want them gone (as does my wife).

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Help with imap email accounts

I have multiple emails. the pop ones send recieve from my pad no problem. The imap ones only recieve. if I answer an email it puts the message in the outbox and will not send it.

Check the outgoing information in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars for this account. Something is wrong there. Check with your email provider for correct settings.

My apps that are stored in itunes, how do I delete some of them so they do not show up anymore when I restore my phone?

In the itunes store where I have my apps and contacts "stored", how can I delete the ones I do not want anymore. I just restored my phone and it had items on it that I do not need or use anymore

The restore should only have restored onto your phone what you had on it when you last backed up. You can delete apps from your phone by pressing and holding them for a couple of seconds until they shake, and they should then get an 'x' on their top corner - then back up again. You can also delete them from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library by selecting them and pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If your phone is on iOS 7 then after hiding them on your computer's iTunes you might need to log out and back into your iTunes account on your phone for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it

I purchase ringtones on iphone, but they don't show up as purchased in itunes and i can't transfer from iphone to itunes.

I have an iphone 3 on which i downloaded ringtones, two of which are not showing in itunes. I now just purchased the iphone 4s. When I synced the ringtones, those two were of course missing. How do I get itunes to recognize that I purchased those ringtones on the iphone 3?
Thanks!

Well Defcom, your last response didn't fix it, however, it helped!
You had me delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and com.apple.ichatAgent.plist. I did that and restarted with no luck. However, when I was in there, I found one other file that was related that you didn't mention, com.apple.ichat.plist. I deleted it too, restarted and boom, it works and she shows up now. Also, the fonts and such are working properly now too haha. So while you didn't solve it, you pretty much did! Thanks for your timely and helpful responses!

How do you refresh devices when they are not showing up on iTunes?

Sometimes my iTunes doesn't recognize one of my devices after I have left the building and come back. Is there a way to tell iTunes to refresh the devixes listed? There is no problem with the wifi, so there should be communication between the iPhone or iPad and iTunes on my Mac.

You mean they don't appear in the Notes app on your devices?

HT4314 how do you decline an update, they do not show you the cost- how do you find out

How do you refuse an update and how do you find out how much they are?

Updates are free.
There is no need to decline them, simply do not update. Nothing will update unless you tell it to update.

Hi, missjlouw.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions.
What is the model of your phone and when did this start to happen? Also, for what email account is this? How are you accessing it? If you're getting an error message, can you provide it to us?
We look forward to your reply.

Reasons IMAP email account might not show emails?

I'm working with an IMAP email account (provided by Network Solutions) and while Mail seems to be accepting all of the account information (username, login, etc.), nothing is showing up in the inbox. Outbound works fine, but inbound is empty. When I check the webmail interface, there is mail in the inbox... it is just not showing up in Apple Mail.
Any ideas?

I've been having these same symptoms for some time now:
- Standard IMAP account
- iPhone Mail / iPad Mail / OSX Sparrow / iPhone Sparrow / Thunderbird / Web interface all see messages in the inbox
- Apple Mail app does not see any messages
I found a solution that works for me. Look through all the folders in your IMAP account. You should have only one INBOX folder, the main one. If you have any others called "Inbox", move the mail out of them and delete the folders. Beware that you are deleting the phantom Inbox folders and not the real one. This solved the issue for me. For instance I had a folder called "Inbox.Trash" that was separate to the main INBOX folder.
I had to use OSX Sparrow to do this maintenance, I couldn't find any other tool that would give me such control over the folder structure. Preferences -> Organise -> Folders
Hope this helps.
Alex.

Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party. Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing.

Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party. Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing. Any suggestions?

In which this just gets weirder and weirder...
I logged onto iCloud.com, signed into my account and created a rule there that emails from my husband's address should be allowed into the inbox. I sent another test msg from him to me and got the New Mail notification sound, the new mail showed up but in a flash disappeared. This happened in the space of about 3 seconds.
Messages from his email address are not even showing up in the Trash folder. WTH?

My account is saying it can't connect - I know I have new emails but they're not showing in my inbox

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

Problems with POP email accounts set up on iPad air why can't I send emails?

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS3899 I cannot send email from my ipad the message keeps saying rejected by the server but there is nothing wrong with my email account with talk talk as I am able to send email from my iPhone and laptop any ideas?

My email won't send from my iPad. It says the server rejects it almost immediately I press the send email button, although there is nothing wrong with my email account when sending from my laptop or iphone. I have cancelled the account and re-entered it but it hasn't made a difference? Anybody help?

Hi Allan,
Thank you for your help . The account used to work perfectly until recently, after receiving support from the provider, I deleted the account now I am trying to set the account again.
After putting in the first details (name, email, description) Cannot send mail the password or username for "mail.bigpond.com" is incorrect. I would expect this because the information I put in is not for Bigpond. So I press ok & I change the outgoing server (this is the one that is incorrectly labelled bigpond) to aapt, then I press save.
Then it says "verifying" but comes up with Cannot connect using SSL do you want to try setting up the account without SSL. I press yes.
Then I get the message "the POP server "mail.aapt.net.au" is not responding. Check your network connection & that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server. (I ahve already checked this with aapt & it is correct.

I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac. How can I set them up? They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.
