IMAP message dates on Mail for iPhone

Hello,
I just moved my IMAP folders to a new server and Mail.app now shows all message received on the date I moved the folders rather than the actual dates they where originaly received.
Basically, I understand the "Received Date" is the time the file was written to the server's file system, so Mail's behavior is normal as all messages have just been copied to the server.
The question is: How can I change Mail to show the "DateSent" taken from each message's header? This works fine on Mac, but it doesn't seem possible on iPhone...
Or alternatively, do you know of a script that will change the date of each IMAP message on my server's file system to be the one of the header's date field?
thanks a lot
fabien

Further to my earlier post today. Deleting my BT a/c in mac mail yesterday and adding back as new A/C did not work and both my A/c and my wife's continued to time out. I finally went into the a/c settings once more, deleted my password and re-entered it and saved the change. Surprise surprise, this re-established imap contact and downloaded all my folder contents once more. Not only that, it restarted my wife's e-mail in her logiin without the need to delete and re-enter her separate E-mail password. My password is the master for using BT Broadband and somewhere this had got lost/ corrupted in requesting imap mail to our iMac. I hope this is a permanent solution and hope this helps others whose imap service fails.

Imap with a 100 message limit (like mail for iphone)

hi,
i'd like to know if there is a way to ask apple mail to only download/display the last 50 or 100 emails of an IMAP inbox.
this is the way apple mail works for iphone...
can i configure it this way on mac OS X leopard ?
thanks for your help

You can set it up to not download any message until you click on one in the list to read. This is done in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced by selecting to not keep copies of messages and their attachments, or can limit it to keep with the attachments. However, Search of the entire message depends upon having these temporary copies on board you Mac.

Like voice mail for iPhone, when are we going to be able to leave Face Time messages when a called party doesn't answer. Seems logical...

I wonder where the "suggestion box" is at Apple?

How can I recover my data in notes for iPhone 4s thats without iTune backup

How can I recover my data in notes for iPhone 4s thats without iTune backup.

Sorry saker, but if you have not backed up your data anywhere, and you told the computer, in essence to clear the data and restore it with your iPod data, then you are pretty much out of luck....

IMAP EMAIL stopped getting mail on iPhone 5

Just got my new iPHone 5. Set up 2 email accounts - icloud and another IMAP server. Both accounts were working just fine. Recently the one IMAP account stopped getting new email. It looks like it is trying to connect to get the email, in fact it even tells me it has email ready to load but nothing comes across. It just appears to keep trying to connect and get email.
I have no issue getting my email via web browser or with my Apple Mail application. I have tried to delete the account and reinstall several times and have even deleted all the data and reset the phone and started fresh - still having the same issue.
Any Thoughts?

WoolyLamb did you ever find a solution?
I too am using an iphone5 verizon carrier, with a register.com email address.
Was using IMAP for years with no problem and just in the last month or two
been getting the same message:
CANNOT GET MAIL
the mail server "mail.xxxxxxx.com is not responding.
Verify that you have entered the correct account into in Mail settings.
PS - I have no problem at all on my computers where I use the same setup!

What is your best messaging choice? Mail for Excha...

Hi,
I tried Mail for Exchange, its very good but has some weaknesses. The same applies to Nokia Messaging.
Which do you prefere? Or do you prefere third party applications?
Or may be another phone brand?
Thanks!

It depends. When I had my E51, I used Nokia BBC. But that only works if your wireless account has blackberry plan (as all data goes through blackberry.net, so a general data plan won't work). Even with Always On, I was able to squeeze out 5 days on a full battery charge. But when I got my N97, I wiped out the E51 and installed MfE on it to test the software in preparation for my N97. At best, with Always On, the E51 lasted about 3 days. Mind you, the E51 only had data and BB plans, no voice.
I've tried the beta Nokia Messaging app (email.nokia.com) that can "sync" all kinds of public POP/IMAP mail on my previous N95, and I was not at all impressed. It hardly ever syncs correctly. When it states that it is up to date, I see the email were old. Gave that up after trying it out for a couple months.
I still use the built-in Messaging app that comes with S60. However, for the longest time, I couldn't use it with netaddress.com or usa.net (same company) via IMAP. You may remember that netaddress.com was the original free email service dating back to early 90's. Starting with my 6620 all the way through my N95, the built-in Nokia Messaging app just can't connect to netaddress.com's IMAP server, even though other mobile devices, my desktop Outlook, and Outlook Express can. Go figure. Because of this, I was forced to switch to Google finally as my mail provider.
But now, GMail has a weird implementation of its mail system, as this is not Nokia's fault. Whether on the built-in Nokia Messaging app or with Outlook, when connecting to GMail's IMAP, your delete action does not get obeyed by Google. You have to move the message to the Trash folder. Quite annoying.
For me, I use my N97's MfE to connect to my corporate mail, the built-in Nokia Messaging app to retrieve my GMail at intervals (works great) via IMAP, and Google's S60 GMail app. Why would I want to use Google's native app? At home I download all my mail via POP on my Outlook and archive them in the personal folder. But once in a while I have to dig up some old email. So I use Google's native app to search my "All Mail" folder whenever I need to find something. Otherwise, it's just MfE and the built-in Messaging. Works like a charm. Free is always good in my books.
(If only Nokia can tell me what Exchange security policies MfE on S60 v5 can/cannot support... /discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=19037)

What are the settings for apn data and mms for iphone 4 on straight talk?

what are the settings for cellular data network APN DATA and MMS for Straighttalk sims on IPhone 4?I cant send or recieve pictures.My service keeps losin signal constantly saying no service then 1 bar,2 bars,3 bars...then back down to no service.It drops calls.Iv been trying to find out the answer to this problem for 2 weeks!I have no Profile selection in my settings either to do wat its showing online on one website.and have entered numerous diffrent APNs and none have worked!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

Disappearing GMail messages with Apple Mail for iPad

I'm using Mail for iPad to access my GMail account. When I organize messages into different folders using Mail, I often find that some of those messages simply disappear, unless I search for them. This happens regardless of when they were sent (they're not older messages cached on the server).
As an example, a message I received Sunday was placed in a folder. When scrolling back through that folder, the message does *not* appear anywhere, not between the Monday and Saturday messages. However, if I search for that sender, the message *does* appear and says it was received on Sunday, as it was.
I wish I understood why this is happening, as it doesn't seem to make much sense. Thanks for any help!

I have each device to leave message on the server. We have it set up this way so that my wife and I can see all the mail that comes into our own devices. Then we can delete off each device as desired. I go in to the server once a month and delete old mail.
So to recap: My wife's macpro uses apple mail. it retrieves the mail from the server; but leaves it on the server. However, though the email is still on the server, the other devices cannot retrieve the email. it is like the email is old email that your device has already uploaded; but it hasn't uploaded to the other devices because my wife's mac opens the inbox on server first.
I know that this sounds confusing. it did not always work this way. for a long time any of our devices could open the inbox on the server, retrieve the messages and leave the email on the server inbox for the other devices. this issue is new.

DTW error message - Data too large for the field65171

Am trying to run up General Legder Accounts using DTW in Version 8.8 and have been successful with Level 2. The customer has three levels only. The total number of characters for the various segments is 18 and I have double and triple checked that the column "Code" has exactly 18 characters. Even used "=trim" in Excel several times.
When I run DTW for level 3 it errors out and it displays the above error message. What is field 65171???
I thought DTW was supposed to be so much improved with 8.8 - where are help files that tell you what the errors are???
Regards - Zal

Hi ZAL,
I am facing this error too when exporting chart of account through DTW SAP 8.8 PL 19, although some of accounts are imported but in somme accounts saying the " data too large for the filed65171".
Account code is of 7, as it reuires 9 Max,
Please suggest me on this .

Why aren't there more data-synching apps for iPhone?

I've been watching as new apps get added to the App Store (I've bought 20+ already, and got a bunch of free ones) and I'm surprised that people/companies aren't developing more apps that sync data. I'm thinking of things like ToDos and Notes. I see a bunch of apps to manage ToDos on the iPhone itself, but nothing "industrial strength", like Documents to Go and others that have been popular on other platforms. I see that Doc2Go does have a product coming for the iPhone, but it looks like they've left out Note synching, so that hole will remain.
Another data-synching niche would be for an iPhone app that syncs with products like Quicken, where you can have your entire financial portfolio available, and you could make updates on either side and then sync them.
Yet another - and probably most versatile and robust - would be an iPhone version of FileMaker Pro (or some other DBMS) where you could create data structures on the iPhone (or sync them from a bigger computer) and then add/edit/delete data on either side and sync them.
If it's just due to software developers ramping up to the iPhone platform, then I'm not concerned. What I do wonder about is if there are issues with either the SDK or the OS itself that make this type of application nearly impossible to develop. So far the iPhone doesn't seem as "open" as other platforms in terms of data management. I don't know what kind of file system it uses -- whether it's HFS+ or what, but I imagine that would be an important factor in developing data-intensive applications.
Anyway, I'm hoping eventually to see the business-oriented apps on the iPhone that will free my from my old HP iPaq.

Well one restriction is the the SDK does not allow access to the 30pin dock. So they cannot write anything that can transfer/sync like iTunes does.
Also this means some type of app must also be installed on your computer. Not to big of a deal, just means for stuff like Quicken they have to update their product as well to work with the iPhone. And since the iPhone's port is not allowed to be touched, they are going to have to do it over WiFi. Not too big of a deal but then you have to deal with users who don't understand their own routers or firewalls to open ports to allow such talking. Like some of the VNC apps on the AppStore to allow you to access your computer remotely. There are tons of bad comments about not working, but that is because users don't understand they also need a VNC server on their computer, they have to setup firewall to open port, and may also need port forwarding depending on their setup. Things many home users just don't understand.
So while possible (and I agree would be a nice setup for an app) the SDK restricts talking via the dock, so an App to work over WiFi really is only way, but is also very doable I think and a good idea.
Just so you know, the better forum to bring this up in is the Developers Forum ( http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164 ) May get better respnoses there and maybe get somebody to make something for you.

Setting up folders in mail for iphone 4 & a grumble or two

So i have this new iphone 4 and I am having difficulties setting up folders inside my inbox. For example I would like to set up folders for Junk Mail and Read It Later but I don't want to set up another email account to do so.
Almost all of my settings on my iphone are by accident not design, lol.
And even though I have rung the apple service centre on numerous occassions:
my iphone has turned itself off because it overheated and I was told by apple technical support to turn the phone off at night!!!
and it wants recharging after five hours of continuous use;
so - I am having serious issues with Apple actually calling the iphone4 a "mobile".
End of grumble.
If anyone can help me with the folder setup in mail, I would appreciate it.
sarahk_3

The ability to create folders in the mail app is dependent on the type of email account that you have. It is not quite like Outlook where you can set up local folders no matter what type of account you have. The iPhone email client does not support the creation of folders if you are using a POP account. Only if you are using Exchange or IMAP, as those are created on the server side. The overheating issue sounds as if something is stuck running since it is running the battery down that fast. However, it makes me want to question what you mean by 5 hours of continuous use. Do you mean using for 5 hours straight, or it being in standby for a period of time as well?

How can i set up a distribtuion group on mail for iPhone?

Hello,
I was able to set up a distribution group on my "icloud.com" account. I used my contacts and created a group and then went to my mail and was able to send it to that group.
My next step is to do that on my iPhone 5.
I see the group under the contacts in settings that i have created, however, it is not recognized on my phone as a distribution group.
Thanks for any help,
Kyle

You can't. "All contacts" means just what it says.

Using an alias email address in Mail for iPhone

My iPhone 4S shows no interest in using my alias email address as the default choice for sending and receiving email, even though I"ve changed the settings in iCloud. Mail persists in using my Apple ID as the default sending email address. It's a minor nuisance as my name shows up either way, but I'd like the correct email address to show. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

You would think that would fix it, but it doesn't. I've set my default sending email address as the one I want to [email protected], but despite iCloud showing this as my chosen setting, emails continue to go out with my AppleID as the sending email address. I think this problem is like the case of Facetime, where people can't activate Facetime with anything but their AppleID. It's just something we'll have to wait for Apple to fix.
