Mail/Lion/iCloud & Unified Mailboxes

my iCloud mailboxes (sent, deleted msgs,junk,archive) are listed under a separate heading in the mailboxes side panel. Can I get them listed under the Sent, Trash, Junk mailboxes where my other accounts are unified?

In iCloud preference pane, uncheck the Mail box, then check it again and test. If there's no change, sign out of iCloud, sign back in, and test again.

Simulate gmail archive behavior with iCloud and apple mail (lion)

does anyone know of a way to configure an iCloud mail account in apple mail (lion) such that the delete button actually archives email? i'd like to simulate the behavior of a gmail account in apple mail, which does just that, i.e. delete sends messages to the "All Mail" folder. in this case, i'd like it to send emails to the "Archive" folder. as i have one gmail account and one iCloud account, it would be great if there was one consistent means of archiving mail, versus using the ctrl-cmd-A shortcut for iCloud mail.
iOS 5 actually has such a setting to do just that: "Archive Messages" under the iCloud mail settings. so it seems strange to me that apple mail would not.
thanks!

Actually, Apple has always supported using custom folders in iMap for Deleted Messages, Drafts, Sent, & Junk. But I agree that with the release of 10.7.2 and iCloud with their new Archive feature, they haven't made it easy!
I run my Mac in Swedish, so forgive me if I don't remember or get the exact wording of each option 100% correct, but I'm sure you'll figure it:
In Mail Settings under your iCloud account, and in the middle tab (Mail Box Functions?), under the trash option at the bottom, make sure that:
Move deleted mail to the trash can is Checked!
Save deleted mail on on the server is Checked!
Delete trashed (?) mail permanently is set to NEVER!
Then go back to the main mail window and display the folders for your iCloud account on the LH side
Select your achive folder.
Go to the Mail Box menu in the menubar, Select "Use this mailbox for..." and then Select trash.
You will not notice that your archive folder now appears under the trash can in Apple Lion Mail (and the deleted items folder that is no longer the trash will appear under the folders).
This works a treat, and in fact I use this for Gmail as well. If you're interested, I have so much mail in all mail, but I want to have everything in Apple Mail. I also get to have a private backup on my Mac (and Time Machine).
So, in Gmail, I have an "Apple Trash" folder which I link to deleted items as above, and which every six months or so I relabel (in the gmail app) to another folder. That way I don't have 50,000 mails in my trash. I don't activate All Mail in Gmail's IMAP because everything I have is always in at least one other folder / lable which syncs to my mac!

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

I cannot sign into iCloud Mail from my MAC. I have tried everything that I can think of to change in System Preferences, even deleted the mailbox and reinstalled it ..... nothing works. It is fine on my iPhone 4S!!! Please help ... about to go crazy! There seem to be two accounts one from MobileMe (mail) and iCloud (calendar and contacts find my phone). I have tried moving the mail to iCloud and unticking it on MobileMe but it will not allow me to submit it!

Unified mailbox not updating

Any fixes or suggestions on fixing this annoyance woulf be greatly appreciated?

Yahoo mail? If so, they are having issues. You are just going to have to wait it out.

How to filter junk mail in icloud (pc) webmail?

Hello,
I receive e-mails marked as junk. Does icloud filter junk mail?

Aha.   I reset the junk mail under Mail->Preferences->Junk Mail, and the behavior changed. Now the menu item and toolbar button act as toggles, whereas they did not before the reset.
BUT: junk mail handling gives us a choice between a) moving junk mail to the junk mailbox or b) marking it as junk but leaving it in the inbox.   Now I don't see a way to make it do both, even through the custom handling option.
Why do I want it to do both?   I want to make sure the the filter is learning what I think is junk and what I think is is not, and I want the junk out of the way.

Synchronize mail with iCloud

I installed Lion one week ago and I wonder how to save my mails into iCloud, the mails I receive via my ISP. Which configuration is needed?
Thanks for your answers

You can't add other accounts to iCloud. If you want to have all emails in your iCloud account from other providers, just copy them to the inbox of iCloud.

How to remove my icloud mail from icloud server ?

how to remove my icloud mail from icloud server ?

If you don't want to keep it, select it, on the iCloud website Mail page click the Trash icon in the toolbar to move it to the Trash, then click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Empty Trash'. Or in the Mail application drag the messages to the Trash and from the Mailbox menu choose 'Erase deleted items' then 'iCloud'.
If you want to keep it, in the Mail application drag the messages to another mailbox under 'On My Mac'.

Incoming Mail to iCloud email account is disappearing.

I am losing random incoming emails in my .mac email address. I first discovered it last week when my wife was getting emails that I was copied on that I never got. Checked inbox, trash, junk, iCloud and never could find them. Then today, just by chance, I had to verify a link via that email address. When the verification is sent, I see it hit the inbox with the new email counter and then it immediately disappears. I have disabled all my Apple Mail rules and Smart Mailboxes. As I mentioned, I have checked everywhere I could think of that it might be going. This is not my work email address but I use it for a lot of stuff. Anybody have any suggestions?

OK, mystery solved. I had my email account open on my Mac Mini in my entertainment center and it was moving these emails to the Junk account on that Mac.
Which brings up another question. Even though my email is synced through iCloud, it looks like Junk mail is stored on the computer and not synced with iCloud. Is this correct?

Synching between Mac Mail and iCloud Mail

When I recieve messages to my @me.com account on my Mac, I don't recive them when I log into icloud.com website. All my sent emails from the Mac Mail DO show up in both places (Mac Mail and iCloud).
My iOS devices don't have this problem. Any one have an explanation or what I'm misconfiguring? I had the same problem with Lion as I am with Mountain Lion
It is configured for IMAP
TIA

Mail app and Yahoo mailboxes organization

I set up the Mail app to access my Yahoo account and it has created an interesting way to organize and manage my email. I'm wondering if it is possible to change how this is set up.
So this is how it is set up:
Lion gives me my Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders. Then Yahoo gives me my Notes and their mailboxes, including Bulk Mail, Draft, Sent, Trash, and my converstations.
Notes, Bulk Mail, Draft, and my conversations work great and as expected. However, it is weird having 2 Sent folders and 2 Trash folders. If I delete messages in the Mail app, it sends it to the Trash located under Mailboxes. If I delete a message using another method (Yahoo website or iPhone), it shows up in the Trash folder under Yahoo. The same goes for the Sent folders.
Also, I have that same Yahoo account set up for my Mail app on my iPhone. My mailboxes are shown the basically the same way on my iPhone:
I am wondering if there is any way to get this whole system a little more organized. I would like all deleted messages to go to the Trash under Mailboxes and the same for Sent. I don't want the Sent and Trash folders under Yahoo at all. Then I'd like to have the Draft and Bulk Mail folders up under Mailboxes if that is possible.
If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply!I almost got it to work.
I disabled my mail account on my iPhone first, then disabled it on my Mac.
Then I went to Yahoo's website and deleted the extra folders that my Mac generated and used.
I enabled it again on my iPhone and it appeared to work great. Didn't generate any extra folders.
Then I enabled it again on my Mac and it created the extra folders and began using them again.
Once a message is placed in a folder, it will show up on Yahoo's website as well.
This is a little confusing. My Mac is creating the blank folders and anything I do on my Mac is reflected in those folders on Yahoo's website. The extra folders you see in the Mac app are the changes made using Yahoo's website.
For example, if I begin composing a message in the Mail app and save it as a draft, it'll be stored in the official Drafts mailbox on the Mac, but at Yahoo's website, that draft isn't stored in Yahoo's official draft mailbox, it is in an extra folder called Drafts. And visa versa if I create a draft using Yahoo's website.
What did I do wrong? Are my settings not configured properly?
