Is there a way to fix 'Sent mailbox could not be created?'

I have OS 10.8.5 and am using Mail as the mail program, since November. I have not had this problem before. I have four accounts in mail, iCloud, Gmail, Roadrunner and Earthlink. The main one i use is Gmail. Today i noticed that there was an exclaimation point next to my Gmail Sent mailbox. i opened the mailbox and it showed only one sent message that i sent earlier today. There should have been a few months of mail in the mail box, maybe 30 to 50 messages. i clicked on the exclaimation point and the message said:
The Sent mailbox could not be created on the mail server. The local "Sent Messages (Gmail) mailbox was created instead. Mail has changed your account's Mailbox Behaviors preferences to use the local "Sent Messages (Gmail)" mailbox.
i don't know what this even means. My other account mailboxes have their mail in them, only the Gmail mailnbox is not created (although it does have that one message in it). There wasn't anything different i did that would change any preferences that i know of. I see the Gmail Sent messages mailbox at the bottom of the mailbox list and the missing messages are there, but instead of listing the name of the recipient under a To: column, instead there is a From: column, and my name is all that is listed. There is no To: column. I need to know who the messages were sent to if i need to search for one later. i want the recipient to be idendified in the header, as it is in my other Sent mailboxes.
There is one thing that happened right before this occurred. I got a brand new Time Capsule and replaced my very old Airport Extreme with it. I didn't change anything. i just replaced the old base station with the new one, keeping all settings, network names and passwords the same, i just switched the hardware.
After setting up the Time Capsule, when i checked my email, i found this problem with my Gmail mailbox missing.
I found this problem raised in a few other postss on these discussion forums, but there was little or no discussion on the threads. None of them mentioned a new Time Capsule. i'm hoping someone who reads this can say what might have caused this and where the mail box is, and how to get it back.

Glenn--thanks for the reply. I think i tried your first suggestion---i highlighted the Gmail account Sent mailbox and went to the Mailbox menu, went to 'Use this mailbox for,' but all of the four options were grayed out (Sent, Junk, Trash, Drafts). i tried highlighting (or selecting) other mailboxes in the column on the left, including the ones on the server and the ones 'on this mac.' No matter which one i selected, the options were grayed out. Do you know why they would be grayed out? Am i not understanding what to do, or is there some other reason? i'm in Classic mode, in case that matters as to what's in the left column.
I have not yet tried disabling the Gmail account. i was going to, but when i went to Preferences > Accounts > Gmail, i saw and remembered that i had changed one of the settings not long ago, a week or so--where it says "Use only this server" under Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) i had unchecked 'use only this server,' since none of the other accounts had that checked. So i rechecked it and am wondering if that would protect against what happened.
I feel nervous about disabling the account and removing it from Mail and wanted to ask you, will everything come back when i re-enable it?
Thanks

The sent mailbox could not be created on the mail server.

First, select folders of your IMAP account, and map them to different common folders.

The junk mailbox could not be created on the mail server

I'm getting this error message on a few of my clients. Mail.app doesn't seem to want or is not able to create a mailbox on the imap server. I can manually create a whole bunch of folders but for some reason it won't create the junk mail folder. I can't find any errors in the cyrus logs that would indicate a problem with creating the mailbox. It insist on creating a local mailbox for SPAM but i'm not interested.
Any ideas? Google search as well as this forum have come up empty...

I think I just figured this out -- unfortunately, I don't have a solution. I'm having the same problem trying to create the junk mail folder on the server, so I fired up WireShark (a network sniffer) to see if that would reveal anything. Sure enough, it looks like Mail.app is trying to use an invalid name when creating the mailbox. When I try and move a message into the Junk mail folder, here's the IMAP transaction I get, my notes are in brackets:
[... truncated ...]
13.3 CLOSE [Mail.app -> Server]
13.3 OK Completed [Server -> Mail.app]
14.3 CREATE "Junk (Corp Mail Server)" [Mail.app -> Server]
14.3 NO Invalid mailbox name [Server -> Mail.app]
15.3 SUBSCRIBE "Junk (Corp Mail Server)" [Mail.app -> Server]
15.3 NO Subscribe: Mailbox does not exist [Server -> Mail.app]
16.3 LIST "" "Junk (Corp Mail Server)" [Mail.app -> Server]
16.3 OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls) [Server -> Mail.app]
17.3 NAMESPACE [Mail.app -> Server]
[... truncated ...]
It looks to me like it's trying to use the name of my mail profile in the name of the Junk folder, and I bet the IMAP doesn't like the (parens) ... looks like a bug to me.
Hope that helps

Is there a way to fix the "carging is not supported with this accessory" warning when I plug my ipod touch into my laptop?

It's been working fine up til now, but the other day it began coming up as a warning. It also won't let me play music for very long before connectingand disconnecting my ipod multiple times....It's never had this issue before, so I have no idea what's going on.
I assume it has something to do with the update that I need to run on my ipod touch, but it says that it will erase everything on my ipod when I do it....and I don't have everything in my itunes library because I've had to start over fresh a few times...So I'm really scared of doing this update, but I feel like my ipod needs it...

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restor from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.

iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
For example:
[email protected]
There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

When I import video from my iphone to imovie it doesnt look right, it makes everyone look wider and shorter. Is there a way to fix this?

This is close. I did a bit more digging I have found a few more things. It appears that the input dialog is a read once on connect and then it never updates. I had my iPhone connected to my Mac when I did my convert from FILMiC Pro to my Camera Roll. Just on a whim, I dissconnected my iPhone with FCPX open and then connected it again. This time when I opened up the Import window the movie I converted showed up. It appears my issue may have simply been related to the specific series of operations that I happened to use at the time I was trying to perform an import to FCPX.
One last item of note. There is a movie in my Camera Roll that FCPX still does not see. This was a movie shot by my son-in-law of my grandaughter on his iPhone and then it was sent, via message, to my iPhone. Obviously it is a highly compressed video of unknown compression and frame rate. Regardless, FCPX does not see this video. I'm guessing it is not a .mov quicktime file but some other format specific to imessage video.
Thanks for the help Russ. It at least pointed me in the right direction. I understand why no one else could comment as I'm guessing no one else has had an issue. A very subtle "feature".

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

When I put in my earphones to listen to music the sound isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in it in order for it to be. It's not the earphones because I use them in my laptop and they work fine. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Whenever I put my earphones into my iPod Touch 2g the music isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in order to hear the song normally. It isn't the earphones because I tried another pair, that worked fine, and there was still no difference. I also use the same pair of earphones in my laptop and it sounds great. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy a brand new iPod touch? Do I need to clean it or something? And if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod

Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value

Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value in a flash pie Chart?
I need a pie chart for Distribution of Escalations by Status; here I have following status Record in my table
5 record for Status: Reopen
2 record for Status: Escalated
2015 record for Status: Closed
12 record for Status: Open
1000 record for Status: WIP
So I am not able to see data in pie chart for Status Reopen, Escalated, and Open, bcz all levels are overlapping each other
So I want to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value(Reopen, Escalated, Closed , WIP and Open)
For e.g. I want to show 15% slice area of chart for Escalated, 10% for Reopen, 20% for Open
25% for WIP and 30% for Closed. So i can see record for all status while that have less data as compare to other
status.
I am using following query for pie Chart….
SELECT
''javascript:dhtml_GetReport_r2(0,0,0,0,0,''''''||''''||STATUS||''''||'''''',0)'' link,
nvl(STATUS,''Unknown'') label,
COUNT(ISSUE_ID) Escalations
FROM XYZ_ITR_MAIN
WHERE 1=1 GROUP BY STATUS;
Thanks

Your requirement makes sense from the point of visibility but doesn't make sense having the facts in mind that 2 out of 3034 is always 0,000659195% no matter how you look at it. And a pie chart is always going to give you exactly that. The only thing you can do is to manipulate your data but then what a user will see is not going to match with the reality. So, the only solution I see is to make a bigger chart. Exploding a pie chart is also an alternative but I don't think you can do that currently with the flash charts.

When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly. Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone. After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC. It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library.
Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
Thanks!!

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.
