M/lion - Mail folders missing; iCloud Mail preference unchecking

Installed Mountain Lion on my iMac last week. Seems to be working fine except Mail. None of the folders where I store messages are visible. Also, in system preferences, the box for iCloud/Mail keeps unchecking on its own. Any ideas?

I'm having that problem. Don't know when my folder went missing from my new Mac,  The folder shows on iPhone, iPad and old Mac running Lion.  But in iCloud acct set up on new MacBook Air running Mtn Lion, the folder is missing.

  • Migrate Mail Preferences from Mountain Lion to Mavericks & Sync w/iCloud

    1. How do you migrate Mail Preferences, specifically Signatures and Rules, from OS 10.8.5 (Mac Pro) to OS 10.9.5 (MacBook Pro)?
    2. Why won’t Signatures and Rules upload/sync with iCloud Mail?
    Migration Assistant doesn’t work and I’ve already spent a week total trying to resolve this issue once and for all.

  • Is it possible to NOT sync Mail preferences via iCloud?

    I use Mail on both my office Mac and home Mac and would like to have slightly different email Rules setup on each. It seems, however, that in Mountain Lion, Mail automatically syncs its preferences via iCloud. I have looked through both the application and System Peferences settings and can see no location that allows me to change this behavior. FWIW, in System Preferences, I have iCloud set to NOT sink Mail, but it is set-up to sync Documents and Data.
    Any ideas?

    I turned off the iCloud syncing of Mail between machines. Both machines communicate with the same IMAP server independently, so my email remains in sync that way.
    My problem is that even though iCloud is not syncing my mail, it seems to be syncing my Mail.app preferences, which means all my filtering rules end up being duplicated across the two machines. Where this is a problem for me is that I have a filter setup to send me notifications (via boxcar.io) when messages from particular people or groups arrive in my inbox. When the preferences get synced both machines process the message and push a notification, so I get double notified of everything.

  • Lion Mail co-opted by iCloud

    Dear Community, I no longer have nor can I re-establish the fully-enabled mail that was on my MacBook (2007) with Lion.
    When I try to set up a new account it only allows the install of iCloud version that seems not fully functional, like the iCloud I have on my old MacMini/core solo. Cannot send attachments etc. I don't know how the original was affected. I'm not savvy enough to decipher the error mesgs in the log.
    Any ideas?

    Are you using multiple accounts?  If so then I may have the solution. 
    My accounts were set up within mail preferences on 10.8.1.  When I upgraded to 10.8.2 Mail froze, nothing I did would unfreeze it.  So after I return my new MacBook and got a new one the same thing happened again! 
    Here is what I did this time:
    1)     Create a new user profile
    2)     Put in your main iCloud log in
    3)     Do not add your other iCloud adresses using Mail instead go to System Preferences and Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add them there
    Please note this will not work on your existing log in as when you go to System Preferences your old email accounts will cause it to crash as well as mail.
    What might have been easier is if Apple had got mail to come up with a message like 'iCloud accounts should be added through system preferences' instead of crashing every time.  Of course it does make you wonder why mail even has a preferences with an option to add accounts?!
    Hope this helps.

  • My mail will not work on my Mac (mountain lion) or connect to iCloud.

    Since upgrading I cannot connect Mail to iCloud. In mail preferences the box, incoming mail server, is greyed out with the words"mail.example.com" I cannot change it yet I cannot save mail preferences because a message comes up that this box needs to be filled in. As well, I cannot connect to iCloud in system preferences despite changing my password. (All works on my iPad). In mail of course all my accounts are offline no matter what I do. I have upgraded many times (since OS 7) and this has been the worst. Ideas?

    Steve,
    If the mail was moved to a mailbox under "On My Mac", it should no longer have any connection to the original mailbox. Deleting (delinking) the IMAP email account from Mac Mail should have no effect on that message.
    In fact, I just confirmed that by adding an IMAP email account of mine to this Mac (which had not used it before), sending it a message from my phone, moving the message to an "On My Mac" mailbox, and deleting the account from Mac Mail. The moved message remains in the "On My Mac" mailbox. Re-adding the IMAP account to Mail makes the server mailboxes available again.
    Note that the situation would be different for an account accessed through POP, depending on mail retention settings. Any mail which had been downloaded to your Mac, deleted from the server immediately of after a period of time, but left in Mac Mail's Inbox for that POP account, would truly be lost if you delete the POP account from your Mac. This may be the situation of which you were warned.

  • I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

    I went to Notes.  Showed all notes.  Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud.  I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed.  It did.  I deleted the other two notes.  I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts.  The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
    I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account.  The warning comes up:  This will delete all IMAP notes on your device.  Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

  • ICloud not listed in Edit smpt in Mail preferences

    Hi all-I have been having issues with Mail lately. I am running Mavericks (latest version) and Mail is 7.3.
    First it keeps asking me for my password. I have lost count the number of times I have reentered it! But it keeps on asking. I enter the password in the popup window that says the iCloud password is incorrect. Sometimes it accepts it and the mail downloads but other times it doesn't.
    The other issue is that in Mail Preferences if I go to Edit smpt settings iCloud is not listed. Comcast is but not iCloud. It's listed on the first screen of Mail Preferences.
    The other question I have is the Incoming Mail Server-it says (in faint letters, not highlighted) p01-imap.mail.me.com. Is this what it should say? Out going is iCloud (iCloud). No TLS Certificate. Under the Advanced tab it says authentication if Password. Again, iCloud is not listed on this screen.
    I wasn't aware that I changed anything. I did do the 2 step verification for iCloud today but the password issue has been going on for over a week. Looking forward to getting this mess straightened out! Judy

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Mail Preferences, iCloud.  Incoming Server (IS) info is gray.  Password can't be changed until IS info is input!  How to change?

    I am in the process of changing my iCloud password.  I cannot do this in Mail.  And until I do this in Mail, I can't receive any mail in iCloud.
    Under Mail Preferences/iCloud/Incoming Server.  Info is there, except it is gray.  I can't change it, or make it appear in black no matter what I do.  Nor is the info showing up in the Server information.  Mail Preferences for iCloud will not allow me to change my password until I input Incoming Server info !!  What do I do?
    ICloud under Apple Support allowed me to change the password. But I'm in a rut until this is straightened out.  What to do?

    Hi mate, thanks for the info, the original Server p09- etc remains in the box in Mail Preferences, but I went into
    System Preferences Mail section and entered your suggestion in the imap box.
    I ran a test email, IT WORKS!
    You certainly deserve to double your status of Level 2 (12,355 points).
    All my best wishes.
    Incidentally, I'm a retired electrician, so if anybody in the community needs a question answered, let me know.

  • Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

    Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

    adding backing vocals is a feature, I can't find them or how to do it.
    The backing vocals are software instruments, listed in the "Choir" section of the software instrument browser. Afaik, the basic GarageBand does not have these instruments. My "choirs" all came with the JamPacks. The JamPacks are no longer sold separately, but if you buy Mainstage 2, you will get all Jam pack instruments and loops to be used with GararageBand; and it is not very expensive (~23 € at the AppStore).

  • After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

    After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

    In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

  • I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

    weird.
    It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
    Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
    It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
    Good night captfred!

  • I created folders in iCloud for mail to be filed, but i can't see those on my Mac in mail.  WHat gives?

    i signed up for icloud....love it.....was cleaning up emails remotely and created a great set of folders on icloud to file away old mails.....but i don't see any of those folders on my mac, just my mobile devices....help!  <Edited by Host> THANKS!!!

    Did you try creating a new mailbox on your mac's mail application and choosing iCloud as its location in the New Mailbox window, you can create a new mailbox using the '+' icon in the bottom LH corner of the mail window.

  • ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

    In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated.  After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences.  Why?

    So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application?  Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
    The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

  • Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment

    os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem. I was given a phone number to call, i assume it's tech support for OS X or Mail but I did not have time to be on the phone for a long time... thank you

    I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking
