Mac Mail IMAP root folder

I am using a Treo650 smart phone (not sure about the "smart" part...) to check .Mac Mail. In the phone's mail app (VersaMail), in order to synchronize the Sent & Deleted messages, I need to enter the "root folder" name. What is this name? Thx. in advance for any help.
Mac TiG4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Palm Treo 650

Thanks. I tried that, but then there is no synchronization between the Deleted, Sent or any other Mail folder. It does work though, as a simple way to get my messages on the go.

  • Mac Mail IMAP shows read message when already read from other devices

    Mac Mail IMAP is setup on custom domain ([email protected]).  When I open an email message through my iphone it shows it was read.  Then when I go into the mail app on my iMac, it shows the message is unread.  It still shows unread hours later and even when I click the "Get Mail" button
    How do I make it so that Mac mail syncs when I check mail through other devices?
    Thank you

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

  • Mac Mail - IMAP setup - Large attachments are corrupt

    Mac Mail - IMAP setup - Large attachments are corrupt
    Attachments open fine in webmail
    Mailbox rebuild does not help
    Appears files over 500k are affected
    Multiple users affected
    Backend is GroupWise 7
    So, I see several posts on this topic, with no solutions.... Is this a known issue according to Apple? If so, can some point me to the official release notes/ bug report??

    I have the same problem. When I look at the message with Entourage, I found out that while under IMAP the attachment is not fully downloaded from the exchange server. Entourage gives you the choice to download this file. When I select, the file comes down and opens OK. I heard that some clients have a max size download setting for IMAP but Mac Mail does not. Anyone know how to get around this?

  • Mail - imap drafts folder not updating on server

    I have my mail setup to LEAVE any mail draft in the drafts folder on the server. I used 3 different mac book pros and my draft messages are only appearing on the system where I 'drafted' them. In the past this was working.
    All other foldrers are behaving as I would expect. How can I rectify this? Thanks.

    That is in fact what is going on - a version of the draft is stored locally on my laptop for example in DRAFTS and when I try to access the 'drafts' on another system, the draft is in some IMAP draft folder.
    Not exactly intutive but as long as they are stored that's what is important to me.

  • GoDaddy Mac Mail IMAP...HUGE delay receiving email in mac mail

    issue: (only with godaddy IMAP email accts in Mac Mail)
    i can send emails no proplem
    the problems is receiving them...there is an enourmous delay-up to 8 hours!
    things i have done/figured out:
    on the godaddy email client all is good
    on my iphone the account works
    i set up an account in entourage and the account works
    i upgraded to snow leopard
    i deleted the accounts and recreated them
    here is the rub...i figured out a "work around". if i manually "sync all accounts" in mail and then click on get mail the mail comes in immediatetly or if i delete an email in one of the accounts and then click get mail the mail comes in immediately. but Mac Mail won't retrieve email other wise.
    I know that this is a problem others have expereineced but i have not been able to find the solution
    i believe that it is an issue with Mac Mail and perhaps the IDLE feature (disabling IDLE does not help that much)
    i have spent countless hours on the phone with godaddy and today they told me that the problem is a mac issue and therefore i am on my own.
    any ideas???

    Okay - I fixed it.  Here's what I did.
    - Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder.  ~/Library/<userfolder>
    - Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
    - Rebooted
    - Opened the System Preferences
    - Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
    - Verified the previous account was gone
    - Clicked Create
    - Created a new account and then opened Mail
    - Voila! Email
    Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails.  All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
    Good luck.  Hope this helps.

  • Mac Mail IMAP Problem: Actually Seems to Be an AOL Problem

    For what it is worth, After much futile tweaking, it would appear that what I, and a number of other users thought was a Mac Mail problem, to wit, the need to Offline>OnLine to get mail, may actually be a problem with AOL (and possibly other e-mail services).
    Apparently, AOL is manipulating its outbound mail port(s) to limit server demand. I've reached this conclusion after noticing how on weekends and nights, mail seems to work fine with AOL.
    Comments anyone?

  • Problem with Mac Mail-iMap server on Hosting (Overloading Server)

    Hello, I just created an account with HostGator for my business and we have 6 emails. We have imap email and our account allows us to check email once per minute per email. We have it set up to check every 5 minutes so this should not be a problem.
    They then told us that there was a problem with it checking more frequently and also overloading the server by issueing 'multiple imap commands per email, 3 to 4'. I can view our server processes and sure enough each email is showing 4 imap commands. I unchecked 'use IDLE command" since I know IDLE command has something to do with it checking frequently for email.
    Unfortunately we have 3 processes running on our website so once we had 24 for the 6 emails that goes over our limit of 25 and our website goes down. For now we have had to turn off most of our emails except 2 that we receive most email at which is causing major problems.
    When we talked to HostGator that question was "Do you use Mac mail? Mac Mail is knowing for doing that". Since I only use Mac's I don't want to have to switch to Windows for email or use another email program like Entourage or Thunderbird. This is a frustrating issue and when I did research on Google I saw a lot of other people having this issue but didn't see any answers. Any ideas what is causing this and how I can fix it?

  • Mac Mail - IMAP Gmail

    I have a domain set up for work which directs email to my gmail account. This works a treat and I can send and receive email as if from the domain name.
    I have recently bought an iphone so set up my gmail account to be IMAP, hoping I could use it for my phone and macmail. I can receive the emails through both, but can only send using the dummy account name with gmail.
    All I want to do is send email using mydomain.com through mac mail and my iphone, using gmail as a dummy IMAP account. Ever get the feeling you're not explaining yourself too well?! Aargh! Hope someone can help though.

    I'd follow WBW advice, but here's some more info.
    What gmail does to be able to send as a different "FROM" is just authenticating you as being the owner of the "FROM" you want to use and then naming it as they will, just like you can post a mail on the post office and say it came from anywhere you wish - you just change the "FROM" field on the letter.
    It also says it's coming from gmail, but most mail servers just ignore it or tell you "delivered by" using some SMTP standards.
    Both Mac Mail app and iPhone do similar stuff. You have to first setup an inbox account to be able to use it as a "FROM". Then you can even send it through another server, gmail in your case, and say you're sending it from the other domain - if that server allows it (which most do, including gmail as you know).
    You can configure as many SMTP as you wish on either, but you just have to do all that - just like you did on gmail. For each one you'll have a full mailbox configured.

  • Merge Mac/Mail/IMAP and Dell/Outlook/POP

    A friend called me with a problem that wads of her email were going missing from Mail.  After spending a while there it turned out that she uses email on 3 platforms
    MacBook Pro, Mavericks, Mail, IMAP
    iPhone 5, IOS7, Mail, IMAP
    Her old Dell with Outlook and POP
    She is using whichever system is handiest.
    Now I know precious little about email but it seems to me that the missing Mail from the Apple platforms is ending up on her Dell because it's got POP.
    Q1.  Does that seem about right?  It looks like the missing mail is there from a cursory scan.
    Q2.  Assuming that's correct, is there a way to fix this: to get the mail off the Dell and on to her Apple systems? 

    Having slept on it, I wonder: Could this be solved by
    creating an IMAP email account on the Dell alongside the POP one
    copying the email subfolders from the POP account to IMAP
    allowing this al to percolate via the server to the MacBook and iPhone
    Suggestions?

  • Mail & IMAP = Drafts folder from **** (Apple are you listening?)

    We are using Mail 2.1.1 (752.3) and run a CommuniGate Pro Mail Server v4.3.12. As we are collaboratively working on our email, we are forced to rely on IMAP.
    Unfortunately Mail.app seems to have a strange misbehaviour in saving IMAP messages as drafts although they have been shipped.
    I sent about 25-30 emails a days, and my drafts folder keeps growing (crowded with mails which already have been sent). This is VERY annoying and renders the drafts folder almost useless.
    There is a suggestion to store the drafts locally instead of server-based, but that wouldn't allow us to share drafts across the office before sending them.
    The that there are at least 7 other discussions on the same topic (see links below), shows you that this is indeed an issue what Apple needs to address.

    I'm not trying to shoot the messenger, just trying to determine if what he reports is a reasonable basis for concluding a Mail bug is its cause. There are a number of reasons I am hesitant to do so, among them:
    1. There are few reports of similar behavior. Among those he mentions, few actually are similar beyond a few points of commonality, or lack enough detail to conclude anything about a common cause.
    2. There are a variety of potential causes for this sort of thing besides a Mail bug. Among them are corrupted files in the OS or application, interference from third party additions that change Mail's or the OS's behavior, & server-side problems, including mis-configuration, use of non-standard IMAP transactions, & reuse of message ID's before they are retired.
    3. Many of the reports of similar behavior say it is intermittent, changed suddenly, or is confined to one account.
    4. Prematurely deciding that the cause must be an Apple bug leads to ignoring troubleshooting procedures that could resolve it.
    As I said, it is possible this is the result of a bug, but it is historically more likely it is the result of something users can repair or correct without waiting for a fix that will never come.
    Just complaining may help, but not here. This is a user-to-user discussion forum, with an emphasis on interactive help with diagnosis & resolution of issues. The more specific users can be about the nature of & circumstances surrounding the symptoms & the steps they have taken to try to resolve them, the more likely it is that someone can help. Sometimes, that help is confirmation that a bug exists, but much more often it is a procedure that shows that the real problem is something else.

  • Mail - IMAP folders not showing up in folder list

    I have several mac mail imap folders and a few of them are not showing all imap folder - yet I can use move to folder to move emails to that folder.  Any ideas?

    Check on the IMAP settings (Gmail.com) that Pop is disabled.
    It should be in the IMAP/Mail forwarding section.
    When it is enabled, folders do not show up in mac mail

  • I remove the flagged status and the email disappears from STARRED in mac mail.  I want to keep it there, and I dont use "flags"

    I have about 10 important files in my starred folder in Gmail - accessed using my browser.
    using mac mail, the starred folder only contains mail deems "important" and "flags"
    Not the important files I DEEMED as STARRED.
    Why doe removing the flag delete it form starred folder in mac mail?
    How do I get my starred folder in mac mail to contain those same 10 emails as Gmail website view?
    and how do I get mac mail to stop flagging stuff it thinks is important?
    (it doesnt know... no one knows. Only I know...heh)
    Thanks so much

    Anne,
    AOL by policy deletes messages in the Inbox (and also the Sent) after 27 days. To save longer, the messages must be moved to the folder named Saved that AOL sets up on the server. There is nothing in Mail to cause this, but AOL's own action.
    Is this perhaps what she is having issue with?

  • Mac Mail move IMAP message to Exchange Folder

    SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS AN ANSWER OUT THERE!!!!???
    I have most of my email accounts set up in Mac Mail (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange (office365 hosted)).
    When I try to move any of my messages from the first 3 accounts (all IMAP) to the Exchange folder I get the error "can't move...message".
    How the heck are people copying/moving IMAP messages to exchange folders in Mac Mail????????????

    No insight whatsoever?

  • Gmail IMAP Sent  Mail folder missing in Mac Mail

    I made a change in Mac Mail by using the Mailbox/Use this mailbox for Sent Mail menu item on the [Gmail] Sent Mail folder and the original
    [Gmail] Sent Mail folder has vanished. It still appears in the Gmail web interface and is checked on to show up in IMAP, but it doesn't appear in Mac Mail. Sent messages to appear in the Mac Mail snet folder, which is fine but I want to [Gmail] Sent Mail folder back. I tried turning the "show in IMAP" setting in Gmail on and off and it works for other folders, but not for the "Sent Mail" folder. I also tried restoring an older copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file but that didn't work either. Any ideas how to get it back? Pop is turned off as well.

    It seems this is the desired behavior in Mail, as I don't need the [Gmail] folders to appear since the mail is all in the Mac Mail folders.
    Of course, this might all break again when I upgrade to Mavericks :-(
