Just set up POP email account - only seeing inbox folder

Hi
I have just set up a POP email account and it has found it successfully and downloaded all my inbox messages however I cannot see my "sent" messages or drafts and I also have a sub folder underneath the inbox which I cannot see.
Do I have to manually set up each subfolder or does the Iphone not automatically see the same subfolders when it connects? Also every email stays showing as un-read even if it is read on the server, even when I refresh the Iphone it still says un-read. Do POP accounts not automatically sync with the server or is there something I can do to set this up or an APP that will do this? Please can anyone help?
Thank you for any help or information.

With POP email accounts, the mail 'lives' with the client, not on the server. So, Sent and Drafts on the iPhone will only contain messages sent from or being composed on the iPhone. Any subfolders set up in the mail client on your computer are only on that computer. You can pull messages from the server to the Inbox on the phone if the mail client is set to leave the messages on the server for a period of time, since from the iPhone's perspective they are new.
POP is really designed for accessing your email only from one client. If you want to use several devices and access the same account, you are better off with an IMAP account, where all the mail 'lives' on the server.

Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000 emails off my server and just download new emails?

Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000 emails off my server and just download new emails?

You can go into settings, mail, contacts and calendars, and set your mail to only download the last 50.
When you actually set upthe account, you can go into any available advanced settings and see if that can be set to new mail only. Unfortunately, every mail provider had slightly different things they'll allow you to tweak, so you just have to play to see what you can do.
For example, when I set up my Yahoo, I have different things I can tweak than I do on my Hotmail account, so some accounts allow more ability to tweak than others.

Trouble setting up POP email account

I am trying to set up my POP email account on my iPhone and it is not recognizing the outgoing SMTP server. I have the settings correct. My mail server is mail.adelphia.net for both incoming and outgoing mail. Any suggestions?

update: decided just to change my password with the server when I realized that it was user error- the wrong password was in fact being typed in blush. So now I don't get the any errors. I guess it works, no email on the phone yet, but the computer is on with outlook running, and I do believe it takes the mail off the server when it downloads it- so I don't think there's mail there for the iPhone to see.
Now, do you think you could help me with another iPhone question I have? It's really simple. It deals with when I activated yesterday- I got booted out of the activation sequence due to an incoming call from some random person looking for the owner of the old number i'd JUST been assigned and had JUST gone active (I have a post on the board about it) and I didn't get to do anything that comes up on the iTunes screen after it gives you your phone number. Therefore, I didn't get to name my iPhone or sync with outlook. My two questions are these:
Can I still name the iPhone, or do I have to somehow reset it? And if I have to reset it- do I loose all the contacts I entered (they're not in outlook, they were in my other phone) or can I somehow sync to iTunes and have the contacts saved before restoring?
Next, the iPhone doesn't sync to Outlook (i have 2003 on Vista) at all. Because I was booted out of activation, I had to try a manual sync. I can get emails because that was just fixed, but it doesn't give me my contacts or calendar. The syncs for bookmarks off IE worked. I haven't tried a sync to transfer music and videos yet. Is there something I'm not doing right as to why it won't give me Outlook? I notice that there is only one Apple add-in running in outlook, and someone said something about needing two? Plus, Vista gives me an error that the Outlook sync server has quit every time I try to sync.
Can you help with any of that?

How to check emails of all email account in one Inbox Folder?

I have more than one email account, If I setup my gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, ymail accounts in Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client, then I see separate inbox for each account, and to check email I have to go inbox of each account for checking email of that account.
Is it possible that I see all emails of my all email account in one inbox window, as well one sent folder for all email account, one spam / one trash / one delete / one important folders etc.... for all email account.
pls adv.

There is a quick method.
* View >Folders > Unified.
This will show eg:One Inbox containing all account inbox emails. It will also show the various account Inboxes shown as sub folders, so that you can also see the various Inboxes individually.
If you have Pop mail accounts, then they can be amalgamated into one Local Folder Inbox.
Go into 'offline' mode - (do not synchronize - that is for IMAP accounts.) This stops any further downloading to Pop mail account.
You would need to move all of your emails into Local Folder Inbox and other Local Folder folders.
Then change the type of account.
* Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings
* click on the "Advanced" button.
* select 'Global Inbox (Local Folders Account)'
* click 'OK'.
Exit Thunderbird and restart before you download anything.
there are other options mentioned at this link, plus info on Global Account.

How to set up an email account on one only one machine

I need to be able to set up an email account on only one machine. I know I can disable the account on other machines, but that's not what I want. I don't want the email account to appear in the account list on my other machines, even if it is disabled. I don't want my other machines to know about the account at all.
How do I set up my accounts so that the email account shows up on only one machine?

Perhaps some pictures would help explain.
If in Mail I right click the account I get this window.
I want to remove the account "B" from this computer. I select it and click "-" and am taken to "Internet Accounts" in "Settings"
There I see this.
If I now click "-", I get the following choices.
Now, I don't want "Remove From All", as I would like to keep the account on my other computer. So I click "Turn Off Account" which results in this
The account is inactive, but is still in the list of accounts. I want to remove it from the list of accounts (without removing it from the other computer.)
How do I do that?

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.

Can someone help re setting up sub-folders on a POP email account

My email is through btinternet and I think it is a POP account (no expert on this sort of thing!). Is it possible to have sub-folders on a POP email account on your iPhone? Or is this only on IMAP? If I can't do it does anyone have any recommendations on which email provider is the best for the iPhone and is there anyway to map my old address to my new one?
Sorry if being incredibly thick here!?
PS. Am I right that on text messaging there is no way to forward texts that are sent to you (eg, jokes)?

Welcome to the discussions!
I do not believe you can have subfolders on POP accounts. Exchange, IMAP, Gmail and Yahoo! do support it however. Gmail/Yahoo! is free so it's hard to beat that price!
If they allow it, you may be able to setup email forwarding on your BT account. Log into the web-based version of the account and see if it is offered.
As of right now, you are not able to forward text messages. Hopefully they'll add this soon.

Outlook 2013 - Multiple accounts set up in Outlook for same pop email account

I started having issues receiving emails in Outlook from my existing POP email account at Yahoo, so I set up a new account and deleted the old one in Outlook 2013. This fixed the problem in that the new account was successfully receiving emails from
Yahoo.
Outlook now continues to show the old account (and the folders within it) in the left hand menu as well as new account.
Is there a way to merge these two accounts?

When you setup POP3 account in Outlook, it would connects server and download the message item to data file - .pst file. It stored in the local drive and we can manage it as we thought:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287070/en-us
From your post, it seems that you've completed to setup the new account and remain the old one in the same Outlook profile. If you want to merge the message items from the old PST to new one, just select all items from old folders and move all them to the
new folder. (We may also move the folder directly)
To remove the old account, please first set the new email account as the default one and then go to File > Info > Account settings > Select the old one and remove it.
Thanks.

How do i set up a pop email account

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.
