Is there any way to undo the "Use this Mailbox for" action besides the undo action

My Gmail account in Mac mail was confusing me so I set the Gmail folders to be used for certain things (i.e. Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash), but now I'd like to set it back. I can't use undo because it was a while ago. How should I go about doing this?

This is the action that I'm talking about. I set certain Gmail folders to be used for these 4 options. I would like to release those folders from their respective duties.

  • "Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

    I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
    Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
    I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

    I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
    This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.

  • Use this mailbox for Junk does not appear to work in Mail 4.2.

    Hello, all:
    Have been using 10.6.x since it came out on my previous iMac [24" Early 2008 model]. Went with a fresh install of 10.6.3 on the new iMac [27" i7], and ported data over.
    The only problem that I've had is that setting the Use this mailbox for Junk command in setting up Mail 4.2 does not seem to work. I've closed Mail and looked at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, and the correct mailbox name is indicated for the two accounts [IMAP and GMail over IMAP] where I'd like to do Junk Mail filtering. However, there is no centralized Junk Mail filter, which is really annoying me.
    I didn't have this problem previously in Mail 4.x, and I'm expecting that it's a bug specific to 4.2, which I haven't seen in my previous incarnation because I did the import from 3.x->4.0, and the prefs carried forward correctly from 4.0->4.2.
    Anyone else running into this, and is there anything else I should be looking at? Am I explaining the problem such that it's clear what I'm asking?
    Thanks,
    Geof

    I figured out the problem (for me, anyways). In Preferences > Junk Mail, make sure Junk filtering is enabled and make sure the "move it to junk mailbox" radio button is selected.

  • Use This Mailbox For...

    In mail under the mailbox menu, there's an item titled "Use This Mailbox For". All the options are grayed out. Why?

    It still doesn't explain why the contents of the "use this mailbox for" is greyed out.
    I noticed it first when installing Gmail (Seamless) but the same happens on Apple Mail.
    In fact the number of greyed out submenus is quite impressive, and not just due to items not being highlighted.
    it seems to me that some features were not activated during setup.
    Is it because most people use another client that there has been such a sparse response to this question?

  • Use this mailbox for greyed out in Mail 7

    Since upgrading to Mavericks (and Mail 7) I can no longer assign the sent messages folder in Mail.  My IMAP provider uses a "sent items" folder under the inbox which I had previously used Mailbox->Use This Mailbox For->Sent to get it synced correctly across all my devices.  Unfotunately all options under Use This Mailbox For are greyed out since upgrading to Mavericks.  This is the same for all my IMAP email accounts.  I am able to change the settings on my iOS devices but no joy on my mac.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I'm not sure but I think I deleted the account from the Internet Accounts preference pane instead of from Mail's preferences. Could that make a difference?
    Anyway for me the behaviour isn't consistent at all. In three IMAP accounts one does't have the problem at all, one shows the "Use This Mailbox For" options "Sent" and "Junk" selectable and the other two greyed out, and for one account only "Junk" is selectable.
    Strange.
    The two accounts that have the problem are from the German provider Strato. Though I don't think it is a provider issue.

  • Use This Mailbox for... not working for Yahoo Bulk Mail

    Hello!
    I have a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, both running Mountain Lion.  My two Yahoo mail accounts are successfully set up via Mail on both Macs.  I was able to use the "Use this Mailbox for..." command to assign the Drafts, Sent and Trash for each account to the respective Yahoo folders (so I don't have duplicate folders). The problem is trying to do the same for the Bulk Mail folders.
    On my Mac Pro, I was able to successfully select the Yahoo Bulk Mail folders for each account and use "Use this Mailbox for... --> Junk" and it worked, no problems.  On the MacBook Pro, however, when I attempt to do the same thing, it doesn't seem to take.  Nothing happens...the Bulk Mail folder in each account remains separate in each account's folders, instead of moving up under the Mailboxes above the VIPs, Drafts, Sent and Trash.
    I've tried Rebuilding the mailboxes, and eventually deleting the accounts and re-adding them to Mail on the MBP...still can't get the Bulk Mail folders to assign to Junk.  The others (Drafts, Sent, Trash), no problems.
    Suggestions?

    Well, after literally months of searching, and trying to find different search terms to find the answer, I finally solved it.

    It is said that iphone A1387 is world phone. But what i got is a cdma phone without sim slot ? Is there any way it can be used on the GSM network,it is on IOS 6.1.3

    No, if it doesn't have a sim slot. However, the model number you posted is for a Verizon iPhone 4S. That model does have a sim slot, & if Verizon unlocks the sim slot, it can be used on GSM networks outside of the US.

    Is this to reduce the clutter of suggestions on the address bar, or for some other reason?
    You can change the address bar drop-down so it only suggest bookmarked sites instead of everything in your history. This article describes how to make that change: [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]] (see the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me?").
    Am I on the right track?
    (I'm avoiding the really hard question of how to selectively cull your history. I can't think of a way to do that.)

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

    You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
    Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
