Lion Mail creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages"

For some reason, since updating to 10.7.5, Mail no longer puts sent messages into the proper "Sent" folder of my Yahoo accounts. It creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages" and stores them there. This new folder is only visible from iOS devices' Mail or by logging into Yahoo through a web browser. Lion Mail doesn't sync this new folder, for whatever reason.
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has found a fix.

Okay, thanks to nobody for their help.  But I figured it out anyway.  Somehow there was a rule which had the "if-then" result of "move to (my wife's name) mailbox" -- so when such an email arrived, Mail would have to create the (previously-deleted) mailbox in order to follow the rule.  So I just deleted that rule.

  • Why Can't I create a new folder in yahoo email? (I can if I use Internet Explorer)

    I still use yahoo email a lot. I am also a big fan of firefox. But today I noticed a problem. I wanted to move an email to a new folder but I can't get yahoo to give me a prompt so that I can put in a folder name. Also I wanted to print an email an email and I can't get the print box to come up. Usually all I have to do is click on actions and then print message. Firefox usually brings up it's popup blocker, and then I tell it it is ok to allow popups from yahoo. But right now it won't give me that. I tried turning off my popup blocker, and that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed that whenever I click on things in my email stuff seems kinda slow. It says "loading" for while and then does or doesn't do what I want it to do. At first I thought maybe the problem is flash player. I did a flash player re install, but that didn't help. I decided to bring out Internet Explorer just in case that I could get my email to work with that browser. I was surprised to discover that everything worked perfectly in Internet Explorer. Then I decided maybe Firefox should be reinstalled. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded a new copy of it. Then I rebooted, and installed the new copy. The browser is noticeably faster and smoother then the old install but I am still having trouble with it and my yahoo email.

    I just did a test in google chrome. I can not create a folder under google chrome, but I can create a folder under Internet Explorer.

  • HT201320 Can I create a new folder in my mail folders i.e. new folder called "Work"?

    I want to create a folder within my mail folders that are already there.  Can I create a folder and give it a name like "work" so I can move related messages to that folder?

    Assuming you are using an IMAP or Exchange account (not POP): Open the Mail box list to the account in question, tap Edit (upper right of list), then NewMailbox (lower right of list)

  • How do I create a new folder in iPad Mail ?

    How do I create new folders inside my MobileMe and my other account on iPad Mail ? I only see a general reception Folder and a Trash Folder in each Account. (By the way, using an iPad is a real pleasure.)

    I did that and the folders appeared after a few minutes. Thanks.

  • Mail created a new folder and throws some, not all, of my wife's email there

    So my wife had been complaining about trouble finding all her emails after I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I took a look and saw that in addition to her account (sub-in-box) under Inbox, she had a folder under "On My Mac" with emails there too.  So I moved all the latter emails to her sub-Inbox and then deleted that "on my mac" folder.  Well, that didn't work.  The next day she said she was still having a problem.  Turns out that the "on my mac" folder had come back to life somehow and Mail was sending some, but not all, of her emails there.  There seems to be no sense to it.  Some emails go into her "regular" account (under Inbox) and some into the "on my mac" folder.  Many, but not all, of the latter are "junk" mail.  So she still has to check both folders to see all her mail.  How do I fix this?

    You don't.  If you have an imap email account, you create the folder when you log into your email account on a browser.
    Can't do it for a pop account.

    I already know what the manual says, but I can do nothing to make the NEW FOLDER button appear.
    I have turned OFF "Organize by Thread" in SETTINGS.
    I think there is something else going on that I missed.
    Clues appreciated...

    For IMAP Mail, you can hit the Edit button to add New Mailbox.

  • Syncronising is creating a new folder in Outlook w...

    I have just got a N70 phone and syncronised fine a few times with Microsoft Outlook. All of a sudden i realised that when i syncronised again the phone created a new folder in Microsoft Outlook which I cannot access and cannot delete. As it is called the same as my actual calendar when I go to syncronise again the syn gets confused and doen't do it, getting error report in PC Suite. I tried posinting it to the right folder but it still gets confused!
    I spent a few hours with a very nice person who handles my email accounts to create a new mail account to get rid of the new folder. As soon as we finally managed to get rid of these corrupt folders I syncrnised and they appered in the new account again!
    Really not sure what to do now!

    I forgot to mention that I downloaded the latest version of PC Suite off your website and that the connection is via USB Cable

  • HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

    I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Problems creating a new folder when using webmail

    Hi, has anyone else out there encountered problems when trying to create a new folder when using webmail ?
    It just seems to create a new folder called 'New Folder' and misses out the step that would normally allow you to rename it to a title of your choice.
    A whole list of folders called 'New Folder' is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
    It did used to work as I've used it many times in the past.....but then so did a lot of things before the 'new' and 'improved' version of BT Mail came along.
    Any help or suggestions gratefully received (apart from the obvious solution, switch to a mail client).
    Maybe it needs flagging to the 'techies'......they must be really busy trying to sort out all the so called teething problems.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What should happen is that when you click on the + for add a new folder a box should appear, somewhere amongst the folder list. (The list is in alphabetical order so if you have a number of folders previous to the letter N it maybe out of view ) .
    The box will have the text " New folder-X," ( see below for the explantion for the -X ) you then delete the text, type in the name you want, hit enter and there it is.
    If you don't notice the box, possibly because it's off screen further down the list, you then open and close the list, or log out the next time you view the list it, or they, are simply named New folder.
    So you now have umpteen " New folders ", here's how to rename them.
    Place your cursor on the word New Folder in your folder list, you will see a little box appear with" New folder-X,"  x being the number of the new folders you have created., eg -0, -1, -2 etc.
    Then double click on it, you should then get a larger box with New folder-X.
    Delete the text in the box, type in the name you want for the new folder, hit enter there's you newly named folder.
