Local folders in IOS mail client - please.....

I have a mail account that allows me to use either POP3 or IMAP
The mail provider junks my mail after 30 days, so I need to keep local copies on my iPad
Snag is, if I use IMAP to connect to the mail server, although I can create folders, these are NOT local and are still subject to the 30 day purge
If I use POP3 I do get local copies of my mail, so they are protected from the 30 day purge, BUT I cannot create local folders so everything has to stay in my INBOX
These seem to be the only choices I have as I don't see a way to create local folders for a POP3 mail account - and neither do any 3rd party mail apps I have looked at provide the same functionality
This is most frustrating

Update
We've had zoho mail accounts lying around for some time, and I can define one of these as an IMAP mail account from iPad
I can create folders at will on the zoho account AND IOS mail client allows me to move mail messaged BETWEEN mail accounts, so she can keep her existing mail account but move things she wants to keep easily to zoho
Not ideal, but workable

Apple Mail and IOS mail client's auto configuration

Good morning,
Does any kind of documentation exist, anywhere, of how Apple Mail and IOS does autodiscover (how they handle it) and which XML format does it require for non Exchange accounts to be autoconfigured (an IMAP account with SSL and SMTP SSL too?.
Best regards,

Good morning Eric,
Thank you so much for your answer. Básically the answer I'm trying to get is how to manage for autoconfigure Apple Mail and iOS Mail automatically with a not "so known" email provider such us Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, like can be Sarenet (www.sarenet.es). I mean which kind of info should an XML or DNS SRV record contain in order to achieve this goal?. My answer requirement is far more specific that yours. Anyway thanks a lot as said before .

IOS mail client not working in certain wifi networks

Hey,
this is driving me crazy:
When I use my iPad or iPhone within our universities eduroam wifi network, receiving and sending mails does not work.
I am using a google apps account. One would say, ok that's due to some IMAP and SMTP port blocking. However it isn't. Using my android phone with the same settings it just wouldn't work ... Never!
Using my iPad in other networks works just fine ...
Please help me with some suggestions.
Jacob

It could be the network, but what surprises me is that nothing else is being blocked at all. And I can't seem to change the port that Mail is on. I tried a port scan, and it came up that that port is blocked (993), but it also came up that every other port I tried was also blocked. I used a Mac to do a Port Scan for my iPad's IP, but it wasn't detecting any open ports. So I don't know if it is an issue with the network, or perhaps with my iOS devices. The network has 802.1X security I believe (I need a username and password to login), so unsure if this would affect it at all?

Intermittent image link behaviour in iOS mail client

We use image links with a mailto reference for mobil approvals. For some reason the links occasionally do not behave as links but instead are processed only has an image, meaning the save image / copy menu pops up opposed to an email draft. I have stripped the html email down to the bare minimum but still happens. Same mail works fine on some phones/ipads. Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have the same problem. iPhone 4 is on iOS 5.1 (9B176) and iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 (9B176). I have seen someone with an iPhone 4S that apparently did not have that problem (there the menu also has an "open" option). Also I noticed that if you touch the icon before the image has finished loading (so with a very large image), it actually does open the URL, but once the image has been loaded, it assumes that you want to save or copy the image.

Duplicated IMAP labels in iOS Mail

Hi folks, I am pulling my Gmail account down via IMAP and recently noticed the strange/frustrating issue that all of my labels are appearing twice in iOS Mail's folder list when I drill into "Accounts > Gmail".
The tags have not been duplicated on the server side. The actual folders, with the exact same emails in them, are simply appearing twice in the list. In fact, if I tap into a the second listing of my "Notices" folder, when I tap back out to the top level of navigation, the animation shows me emerging from the first listing. I tap into one folder, but the OS knows it's exactly the same as the other folder.
I've deleted and readded the Gmail account twice now, and restarted the phone. I've purged my labels on Gmail. But the duplication persists. I'm afraid to use Mail on iOS to delete one of the label sets because I don't want to accidentally delete the entire label and all the conversations assigned. And again, the label itself is not duplicated on Gmail.
Help!

How to configure mail client to only download headers(titles) of emails

Hi there?
I have 10 different email accounts (for some weird reasons that i think irrelevant fir this question), and i want to use Mail app as my main client. iCloud, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, other imap and pop etc.
Now the mail client is trying to download everything from the servers which is gigs of storgae space. I need to configure mail to only download titles of emails, not the entire email with attachments etc.
I can do that very simply in MS Outlook, and even in the old outlook express client.
How can i do that in Mavericks mail client please? I looked everywhere
Thanks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

Local Folders empty

I have lots of local folders with lots (hundreds if not thousands) of mails in them.
Something went wrong with Mail some time ago and I force quit it.
Next time I started it, all my accounts had disappeared. Since they're all in IMAP with backups on the server, I decided the easiest way to get back to normal was to set up the accounts again.
It worked for all the mails in my Inbox and all the IMAP folders but not for my local folders. The mails in my local folders are not lost: I can find them going to the corresponding folders in the Finder or find them using Spotlight. But they're not seen in Mail anymore. The funny thing is: my whole hierarchy of local folders is still there. It's just the mails inside them that are not there anymore.
Does anyone know how I can have Mail see those mails again and associate them with the proper folder?

You need to get Mail to rebuild the indexes for the messages. To do that, close Mail, move the file named Envelope Index located in ~/Library/Mail to the desktop and re-start Mail. If that is successful then you can delete the Envelope Index file you moved to the desktop.
Report back with the results.

IOS Mail permanently deletes messages

I've noticed several times that the iOS mail client occasionally does an unprompted permanent-delete of messages in my trash can. There's a similar complaint about it from 2008 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1362228?start=15&tstart=0).
I've got the following setup:
iOS 6.1.2
Gmail account via Exchange
Here are the steps that occurred:
Opened Mail to view new messages in inbox
Deleted several messages (sent them to trash)
Inadvertently deleted a message I wanted to keep
Went to trash folder, which started a download of the most recent contents of my trash folder
Saw the messages I just deleted
The download of my trash folder completes, causing the messages I just deleted to get permanently deleted
I can't see the messages I deleted anywhere, not in the Gmail app, nor in the Gmail web client.
I've never seen this behavior in any other client except for iOS Mail. I'm not sure if it's issue with the app, the way it handles the Exchange protocol, or the way Gmail talks to the Exchange protocol. Any ideas? This seems like really bad bug.

I have no idea what or why this happened!
All of a sudden, I'm able to delete read mail and have it appear in the trash (as it should) and am able to read it there, and remain there, until I want to permanently delete it!!!
I'm convinced this had to be an Apple problem but really haven't seen anything confirming this.
Note:
Even though I was unable to see the mail in the trash it was still on my comp. I just had to hunt for it...Library/Mail/Deleted Messages, so all wasn't lost.
Thanks for all you people do to help us frustrated but happy MAC'ers. I wouldn't trade
my MAC for anything.

Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
(I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
* Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
* Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
the other device and the remote storage place?
* The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
* One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
Thanks in advance.

The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.

Local folders in Mail

Hi, I have a problem to create a new "Local Folder" in my Mail program. I am talking about local folders which I can see in right gray panel in Mail program ( Inbox, Smart Mailboxes, Reminders, RSS and On My Mac - local folders).
These folders was created when I moved my all e-mail from external HD. I can not find these folders on my Macintosh HD.
Any suggestion, please.

yes, Mac OS is good ( Idid not know about it until move from PC to Mac last week).
I found this folder: Mac HD-Users-choose admin or user - library-mail-mailboxes-LOCAL FOLDERS.
If you want to add a folder - put a new folder in there and name it with extension .mbox.
It is so simple.

New Folders in iOS 5.1 Mail

Mail appears to have only 3 mailboxes: Inbox, Sent, and Trash. The iOS 5.1 manual says that to add new mailboxes, "Go to the mailboxes list, tap Edit, then tap New Mailbox." However, there is no Edit button on that list to tap. Others have said that either you cannot set up new mailboxes in iOS, or that it has something to do with the mail server for the account being used. Does anyone have more clarity on this matter? Thanks...

Responding to self: Researching this further, I can see that the server-side functionality of the iMap protocol makes it the obvious choice for the iCloud. (Including the ability to create folders on the server, having accounts accessed simultaneously by multiple users, selectively showing parts of a mime message, etc.) And whatever works best with iCloud and .me accounts must inevitably drive iOS development.
I'm guessing that recreating any substantial client-side folder functionality would weigh-down the Mail client in iOS substantially, which would go against a 'fundamental tenet of design,' i.e. the iPad being an i/o device in a cloud-computing universe.
Sorry James if that's what you were referring to. Question then becomes whether or not to convert all of ones email accounts to IMAP, fully embracing the cloud, or just use the iPad for minimal, temporary surf & respond emailing.

Changes in local storage not reflecting in the mail client

I am trying to make changes to INBOX file in the local machine in the profile folder and trying to see if the changes are seen when the thunderbird mail client is open. But I am not seeing any changes. Where the same with SENT file is seen.
What could be the reason? what prevents me from seeing those changes?
I am using Ubuntu 13.10 OS, Thunderbird 26.4.0 version. Mail settings are POP.

HI Aditya ,
This is reference to the question you have been answering on SDN. I hope I do not cause inconvenience to ou by emailing you on your personal email id.
Please be so kind as to help me out .Your guidance seemed to be leading to a solution.
According to your last reply I have confirmed the following
1. Select Layout is not present in Test/ Integration environemtn
2. Codes in all includes of program between DEV and Test environments are exact
3. Here is the code I have used in displaying my ALV
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM     = GV_REPID
      IT_FIELDCAT            = LT_FIELDCAT
      I_CALLBACK_TOP_OF_PAGE = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'
     I_SAVE                 = 'A'
    TABLES
      T_OUTTAB               = I_OUTPUT[]
    EXCEPTIONS
      PROGRAM_ERROR          = 1
      OTHERS                 = 2.
Can you guide me as to where the default layout is being set up ?
Thank you so much for your help.

I can't access folders in my e-mail client with FF4 or FF5

My e-mail client is eircom.net. Up to Firefox v4 I neevr had a problem using this service. The service also works fine in IE. However, with FF4 and, now, FF5 it is impossible to access folders within the e-mail database. This means that, if I have e-mails showing in the Spam folder or more than 20 previously unseen in my inbox I am unable to access them except by using IE. This is disappointing, to say the least!

Hi,
Does this issue only occur on the [email protected] account? How about other Gmail account?
According to the error message, it seems that, it need to turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client.

Ios 7 E-Mail-Client mit T-Online

Einrichtung eines E-Mail-Accounts von T-Online mit dem Apple iOS 7 E-Mail-Client
Ich hatte große Schwierigkeiten bei der Einrichtung von T-Online-E-Mail-Accounts in Apple iOS 7 auf allen Gerätetypen (iPhone 5s, iPad, iPod Touch), die bei iOS 6 nicht auftraten bzw. treten. Die Hotlines der Telekom und Apples konnten mir nicht weiterhelfen. Die Lösung meines Problems führe ich hier auf.
Grundsätzlich gilt: Seit 01.03.2014 ist das T-Online-Postfach als IMAP-Postfach mit SSL-Verschlüsselung einzurichten.
Achtung! Das Passwort für den Zugang zum Telekom-Kundencenter und zum Telekom-E-Mail-Center ist nicht das E-Mail-Passwort. Dieses ist im E-Mail-Center gesondert für die Benutzung externer E-Mail-Clients - wie Outlook oder dem Apple E-Mail-Programm im iOS 7 - einzurichten. T-Online gibt als Einstellung für die Server an:
Posteingangsserver: secureimap.t-online.de, Port: 993, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS,
Postausgangsserver: securesmtp.t-online.de, Port: 465, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS.
Diese Einstellung funktioniert bei mir nicht! Stattdessen funktioniert die auch automatisch gefundene Einstellung:
Posteingangsserver: secureimap.t-online.de, Port: 993, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS,
Postausgangsserver: securesmtp.t-online.de, Port: 587, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS.
Im Apple-iOS kann man nur SSL auf "ein" stellen, was für die Einrichtung auch reicht.
Im Übrigen sollte man bei neu eingerichteten E-Mail-Accounts im E-Mail-Center die Einstellung für die Speicherdauer der E-Mails von den voreingestellten 90 Tagen auf "nie löschen" stellen.
