Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts.  Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list.  Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account.  I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off. 
Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically?  Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you TomJones75.  When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7.  I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3.  With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though!  Thanks!

    When i connect my iphone to my imac, itunes opens but my itunes is not there.  My wife has recently added herself to the computer
    and her itunes appears but i cannot find my itunes?

    Not really! Anyhow, what do you want to achieve. The only things you can access in your iPad outside of using iTunes are photos and videos. [Locate the iPad as any other external device through Windows Eplorer or Finder and dig through the folders.]
    You are fortunate that iTunes opens when you connect the iPad since many other users have difficulty in achieving this. It is from there that you can manage what you want synced to the iPad.

  • Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please

    Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
    its very important files!

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.

    How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.  I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

    What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
    Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.

    It might have been more helpful if you'd actually mentioned that to begin with.

  • Mail app strange behavior, default and all mailboxes not accessible

    hello community! i have had this problem from months now and maybe years...a couple of days ago i bought my 5S and i thought that this should have pushed me to fix this and not just work around it...
    so here's the deal MAIL APP, iPhone 5S 7.0.3
    i have mail app setup with 5 gmail accounts, which receive and send email just fine, the problem comes when i need to check emails...here's what happens.
    i open the mail app
    SOMETIMES i see on the bottom "downloading 250 email" (50 last emails for 5 accounts).
    IF im fast enough...i would be able to enter in my default account or "all mailboxes", if i wait like a couple of seconds, boom! all mailboxes and default account become unaccessibe (GREY, like in the screenshot)...and they stay like this
    when i manage to access the "all mailboxes", i see a bunch of NO SENDER emails that appear and disappear after a few seconds, all dated 1.1.01 and the email conversations with more than 1 email, i would be able to tap it, it would get evidenced but it wouldn't open the email conversation, this happens sometimes, sometimes it opens...
    i have tried searching this issue, but nothing seemed as this, only found some random use with the no sender or duplicate emails, not my case...no sender emails appear and go away in manner of 2 seconds.
    workoround: Gmail app works just fine, but i would love to use the native mail app
    screenshot attached, i hope someone can help here. I ave covered the rest of the email accounts, but i assure you that they are black and not grey like the top ones.

    and so again happened, was sending an email from my default account and boom!!
    however, the email was sent, then this happened. this time the emails are from the 70's, probably someone that decided to pull my leg seein me in the future...lol

  • My Mail.app has been reset to default. All mailboxes gone!

    I guess some file containing Mail.app settings got corrupted. Now when I open Mail all of my mail accounts/mailboxes are gone!!
    Of course I haven't got a backup of my Mail preferences file... sigh
    The Mail folder ~/Library/Mail/ still contains all of my mailbox folders.
    Please tell me there's some way to get these imported along with the respective server settings. All I can find is "Import Mailbox" but that's not what I want, in that case the imported mailboxes will appear under a folder namned "IMPORTED" - don't want that. I want them back under the main "Inbox".
    Heeeelp!

    Hello Daniel.
    Do the following.
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Delete the com.apple.mail.plist file.
    Note: Deleting or moving the com.apple.mail.plist out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder from the Desktop.
    And now is the time to backup the new com.apple.mail.plist file with the Mail.app quit when doing so. If this happens again (which it shouldn't happen often - I've never experienced the same with Jaguar, Panther or Tiger), you can replace the existing com.apple.mail.plist file with a good working copy from your backup with the Mail.app quit before doing so. This won't require re-entering all email account information.

  • Problems opening files in DW CS4 - not all files and folders are showing

    Hi!
    I'm trying to change some already existing files on the homepage but when I click the Open button, it doesn't show all the files and folders, even if I ask it to show all files. When I open the ftp folder in Explorer, I can see everything. I'm using Vista and Dreamweaver is version 10.0 Build 4117.
    Most of the unaccessible files and folders were created using Frontpage a long time ago but this also happens when I create new files, although the new ones I created used one of the old ones as a template. Any help would be appreciated! It's rather annoying not to be able to access all the files.
    Thanks a lot!
    Mathias.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

  • I can no longer open my Comcast email when I launch from Firefox - it takes me to the email preview page but will not allow me to open the inbox . Does not happen with Internet Explorer.

    This started last month - when I go to my comcast account, I'm able to log on and view my account but can not open my email inbox. When I enter my user name and password, I'm taken to the "Email Preview" page so that I can see a partial view of the inbox but when I click on "View Entire Inbox" it jumps to a page showing that it's loading but goes right back to the preview page - I can't open any of the emails. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer or Firefox on my older laptop.

    Greetings Kate,
    Have you tried emptying the cache? Or second, resetting Safari, which will take out all your cookies and other caches. If this doesnt work, perhaps use OnyX (free from the Apple download site under your Apple menu) to repair permissions, and deep clean caches (users and kernel) and repair permissions.

  • I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button  it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs..  prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

    I just did an update to Lion  10.7.4 with Safari  6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button,  it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update.  I prefer having my old tabs re-open.  How can I fix this?

    I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update.  I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0.  The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions.  I don't like that as well, but I can live with it.  However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out.  So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button.  Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close.  The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything.  I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info.  Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem.  I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this.  I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

  • How do you use Camera Raw Editor to open jpeg files by default, not using "Open As"?

    I've searched for the Camera Raw setting that is available from the Photoshop (not PSE8) menu but it is not even available in Photoshop Elements 8 that I've been able to see.  Does anyone know where this setting is?

    I had PSE8 set to open any file (tiff, jpeg and cr2) with the camera raw editor.  I can not figure out how it got changed or remember where to make this a default option in PSE8.  I found a video showing it available in Photoshop, main menu, camera raw and then you just check the boxes.  I've been looking for the similar setting in PSE8 again because I'm working through some exercises in a book and it is a nuisance to navigate to the image using the "open as" command every time.  I figured it would be just as easy to set the option by default, then, if I didn't want to use the raw editor, I could just click open from there.  Help?  Thanks so much!
