Incoming msg's go to both INbox AND 'Important' folder; if I delete one from either location it deletes from both.

When receiving new msg's in Thunderbird they download into both my INBOX...AND...the 'IMPORTANT' folder (sub-folder of the 'Gmail' folder). Also: quite often (nearly always) when I check my email for new msg's, I'll find that several (not necessarily all) of my SENT mailings are also showing in the 'IMPORTANT' folder.
If I delete msg's from the IMPORTANT folder, they simultaneously delete from my INBOX...or SENT mail. As a result, I must always begin...when checking my new mail...by going to the IMPORTANT folder, selecting all the 'SENT' mails, dragging them as a group to the 'SENT mail' icon and then selecting all the NEW msg's and dragging them as a group to the 'INBOX' icon. It's a real nuisance. Thanks in advance for any corrective advise. NJR

You may want to change the setting for deleting messages so that copies aren't deleted. See the last paragraph of this article in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite Labels section].

Note that it's recommended to not check "Place a copy in" for Sent messages.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

Main in inbox and sent folder gone after recreating mail account in prefs

I called my ISP when I was getting outgoing mail server error messages. Their tech person said that I had to recreate that email account. They had me delete the existing account then basically make the account again. Expletives deleted. The result for this brilliant advice was that all the mail in my inbox (800 messages) and sent mail copies (maybe 4000 messages) is gone. Apparently over written by a new account with the same name as the old one. I didn't expect that the mail messages themselves would be removed, just the account settings. Is there any sort of trash place that I might be able to recover them from? I've checked the obvious places in myuseraccount>library>mail.

Hello David.
Your ISP gave you some not so good advice without being familiar with the Mail.app account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. Not good news but don't shoot the messenger.
Before deleting an account in Tiger Mail, the following warning message is provided:
Are you sure you want to remove the (account type here) account “XXXXXXXXXX”?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected.
This is usually ignored or not completely understood but is based on the Mail.app filing structure so now the long winded answer for the reason.
Many other email clients utilize a single large database which is not dependent on individual account and associated mailbox filing.
When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) is created in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail using the Finder.
For POP type accounts, the following mailbox (mbox) folders are created within the account named folder when the function is used by the account: INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk mail is set to automatic). The mbox folders within the account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk mail is set to automatic) in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail, the account named folder at Home > Library > Mail is deleted at that time and as the warning message indicates, the associated account mailboxes within the account named folder are also deleted. You must select OK after the warning message appears.
It would be preferable for the account named folder to be moved to the hard drive Trash can which requires an additional step to delete but this is not what occurs.
To have any hope of recovering your data, you need to immediately stop using your system and then purchase a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) or Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), both of which have data recovery tools. I've not used Data Rescue, but I've seen reports that it recovers files that the others cannot, so it might be your best hope. The chances generally aren't really good even so, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive), such utilities are your only hope.
Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
This also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular backup of the Mail folder and other important data.

I still haven't found a solution to my problem of how to arrange my emails in deceding order in my inbox and all the folders I save emails from various sources.

Can anyone tell me how I can arrange my incoming emails both in my inbox and the folders I have to save emails from various sources? I have tried clicking on the star, but it doesn't do the job. HELP!!!!!

Click the column header labeled DATE. This makes that the primary sort column. Click DATE a second time to reverse the order.
This works on any column in any folder.

Problems with Inbox and Imported Mail

I just got a new iMac G5, and I have woefully messed up Mail on it. I use Mail to access an Exchange account (via IMAP) that I can also access from other computers (PowerMac G5 10.4.2, iBook G4 10.3.9). Upon initial iMac setup, Mail worked fine. Then I imported a large number (>10,000) of archived messages from mailboxes on the iBook. I probably did this wrong, as I first tried just copying the mailboxes from Library/Mail on iBook to same location on iMac. All dragged-over mailboxes appeared empty, so I deleted and used Mail's "import" feature. Imported mailboxes all contain two copies of each message, one I can read, and one saying that the message has not been downloaded from the server. All mailboxes were within an "Imported" folder. When I tried to drag messages to other folders to re-organize them, I could not transfer the "not downloaded" copies and the copies I could transfer disappeared when I put them in new mailboxes.
At the same time, though I don't know if they are connected, my iMac's Mail Inbox stopped showing any messages. I can see messages in Mail's Inbox on the other computers, so I know there are messages on the server. I can see contents of Drafts and Sent mailboxes on the server. Preferences were not touched. I tried rebuilding Inbox and other mailboxes but did not help. Quitting the application and reopening, as well as restarting the computer, did not help. I also notice that Mail now takes several minutes to quit.
Questions:
1. Any idea how to get Mail to show what's on the server in my Inbox?
2. Any idea how to import messages without the "not downloaded" duplicates? How do I then move them to the folders where I want them?
3. Can I dump and re-install Mail without re-installing the entire OS? Outside of Mail, I have a lot of settings personalized that I would rather not lose.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an i pod touch and just recieved an i pad one from a friend. would like to transfer data from touch to pad. i pad is set to factory settings.

I have an i pod touch and have just recieved an i pod one from a friend. it is at factory settings - but i would like to transfer data from the i touch to the new i pad - can't seem to do that. when i go to i tunes to restore - it just wants to restore the blank i pad. any suggestions? Thanks

You need to backup the Touch to your computer and then Restore from that backup with the iPad. This will only work in the Touch is running 5.1.1 or earlier.

My email settings are messed up. The INBOX and NEW FOLDER tabs are on top of each other so that I cannot open a new folder.

The INBOX tab and the NEW FOLDER tab are entangled and are sitting one on top of the other so it's impossible to create a new email folder.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure. Maybe about two weeks ago.

'' the bookmark facility is not functional in 29 ... Bookmark puts all bookmarks there into "recently bookmarked" ''
It does not.
It works much the same as the old system does. Or at least it should do and does do for me.
* Carefully reads the following article so you are certain what should be happening '''[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites ]]'''
# From an unbookmarked page click the bookmarks star.
#* That results in the bookmark being added, and yes initially it is just as an unsorted bookmark. (No doubt that is where most people put most bookmarks)
# IMPORTANT click the star a second time. (But not so rapidly it counts as a doubleclick)
#* You now have the options you had in the old version of Firefox Create new folders Save to a recently used folder Show all bookmark folders - and expand nested folders
If your bookmarks are not working possibly the file is corrupted in which case see
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Damaged_Places_database
I am hoping it is just that you are doubleclicking the star too quickly.

Apple Mail - Unread Spam Messages/ Inbox and Sent Folder

Fellow apple users ... I recently upgraded from Windows to iMac, what is amazing (but could not afford it until now). I love it, but ... I do have a few problems:
1/ I have two IMAP email account. My problem is that the Spam and Junk are being treated as New, Unread Messages. I really do not care about these and would like to see a notification only for mail which comes to my Inbox. Any ideas how this could be done ? I am sure there might be an easy setting ... if not then just setting up a Rule?!
2/ Probably this is a feature of Mail, but I would like to disable it. The INBOX, SEND and DRAFT are being showed in different tabs (e.g. I need to press 'show' 'hide'). I would like to have Inbox, sent draft under each account and not separate. How can I disable this?
3/ Sent messages. Since I am using IMAP I should have a copy of my sent messages in the 'sent' folder but the iMac sent messages do not appear sent folder on my iPhone. I checked if the messages are being saved in the same imap folder and it does look like they are ... so not sure?!
Any ideas reply is welcome.
Regards,
Siki

Hi Ernie,
Thank you for your reply and explination.
1/ Yes, the instructions did help. It was obvious, but I haven't ever used Mac's. They are the best, but switching over it's not the easiest.
2/ Have been thinking about changing to another mail client because of this (Thunderbird). Usually everything with iOS X makes sense, but having the MAILBOXES option and sub-structure (Inbox, Flagged, Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash) is beyond me at the moment (a lightbulb might go off in the future ...)
3/ Not sure why, but now everything is working fine. Could be becuase of the update to iOS 6.

About 1 week ago deleted email's have shown up in my inbox. I have gone into my deleted file and deleted them all forever. I am still receiving old email's in my inbox and of course when I dlete them from the inbox more go into the trash file.e

This was thourough. Trash emails going into my in box. when I delete them more come into the inbox. I deleted all the emails in the trash file. When I delete them from the inbox they go back to the trash and back & forth we go.

Sorry, not a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Mails were deleted automatically from inbox and sent items, even in deleted items in Exchange 2013 CU2

Dear all:
I encountered a problem and needs to be solved.
We runs Exchange 2013 CU2, and some users told me that their mails in sent items and inbox were automatically delivered into "deleted items", especially in last two weeks or yesterday.
The users said they cannot delete so many mails at one time. And now I found one user's mails in "deleted items" were also deleted this morning.
I don't know whether it was bug or not in exchange 2013 cu2, and how to solve this problem? Thanks for any help.

Hi koiso,
Are there any commons among problematic users or deleted emails? For example,
they are on the same database
they have delegate settings
they are using mobile phone to sync emails
At the same time, I'd recommend you enable Mailbox Audit Log for the problematic users. For your reference:

I have a ton of cookie exceptions, and sometimes I need to change one from "blocked" to "allow". Is there a way to "search" this file?

Paging through the large set of cookie exceptions, to find the one that is causing me not to be able to access a site is getting to be impossible. For example, I want to use ESPN's fantasy football site, but at some point, I must have decided to "block" one of the many cookies that they wanted to set. Now, I cannot get into the site, and I have no luck finding the offending cookie. Is there a way to search this exceptions (or permissions) file so I can find the cookie faster?

The about:permissions was just what I was looking for! Perfect.
Thanks jshcer2000 for the prompt response.

Why does my mail skipp inbox and goes to all mail instead, i dont have any kind of filters on ?

Hi,
I've been using thunderbird for my gmail, recently i noticed that some incoming mail skipped my inbox folder while never appearing in it and turned out in an all mail folder instead.
I didn't put any kind off filters on so i wonder why this keeps happening and i would like to know how to be sure all of my incoming mail gets shown in the inbox folder ?
Thanks

I don't use Gmail IMAP, but I assume that "important" mail only appears there and in all mail. Likewise "family" etc. Having it in inbox and important etc would be frustrating.

Please help desperate plea! Inbox and folders comp...

Please can anyone help with any ideas - my mother died a couple of months ago in Cyprus - i took my 6610 to Cyprus and when i got there found all the texts in my Inbox and My Folders have been deleted. I'm desperate to get them back as they are the only messages i have from my mother. I have spoken to Customer Services, taken it to phone shops, had the SIM card and phone read etc etc and can't find them.
Does anyone have ANY ideas? Please, I'm desperate.

Jason,
1. iCloud is checked and set up correctly on both computers with respect to their preference panels and both computers are logged in with the same iCloud account.
2. I have forced the sync on both computers multiple times ... nothing changes.
3. When viewed online at iCloud.com, the folders are not the same. The recently added folders are not showing up on within iCloud. The same problem as the laptop. Only the desktop retains the correct folders once added.
Not sure what to do now ...

How can I set the file name and folder for output to PDF from another application?

I am developing an application in Microsoft Access where the printed reports are to be saved in PDF format for archive purposes. I can send the output to Adobe X, but the default file name is the Access report name and the folder selected is the one last used.
What I need to do is to create the file with a specific name (which changes for each run) and to a specific folder (which also changes for each run).
The language I'm using is Visual Basic for Applications which is located in an Access form that controls the report production.
Any suggestions, please?

Got it - many thanks.

Incoming msg's go to both INbox AND 'Important' folder; if I delete one from either location it deletes from both.
