  • Ipod Touch ---creating new mailboxes

    Hi can anyone please tell me how to make new mailboxes on my ipod touch? I just have three mailboxes at the moment
    INBOX
    SENT
    TRASH
    I would like to generate a box for DRAFTS and also I would like to generate others where I could move messages to from the INBOX to file them after reading.
    I can find no method of generating any more boxes.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    On my IMAP Yahoo! account I have all the mailboxes that I have set up in the web-mail Yahoo! account. So for example I can move my Paypal receipts into the 'Paypal & Ebay' folder when offline and this is synced back later. The Drafts box is visible there but AFAIK there is no way of drafting a message in Mail on an iPod touch. On my main ISP email (a POP3 account) I only have Inbox, Sent and Trash. The work around is to compose emails as a note in the Notes application and when you are ready to send it then press the email button. To get mailboxes I think you will have to move to an IMAP account and configure them elsewhere.
    Apple starts off applications with only a very few features to increase reliability. Mail will undoubtedly be improved in future software releases.

  • Supanet webmail and Ipod Touch

    I have a 32G iPod Touch and have successfully set up my hotmail email accounts to work on it, however I am having no success viewing my Supanet webmail on my ipod touch via Wifi. The message I always get is "The connection to the server 'pop.supanet.com' failed."
    I've entered all the standard settings for pop.supanet.com for incoming mail, and smtp.supanet.com for outgoing mail, and have changed the port to 110 as suggested on other forums, but it still doesn't work.
    Is there an issue viewing Supanet on iPhones or Ipods? I have no problem reading my Supanet webmail at home or at work via my laptop, using the Supanet logon page, but I want to sync the webmail to push to my mailbox on the Ipod Touch.
    Can anyone help?

    Update - this is now fixed - Just had to untick the 'SSL'box on the mail settings on my Ipod

  • Does the amount of mail you  have in your mailbox take up storage space on the ipod touch?

    Does The Amount Of Mail You Have IN Your Mailbox Take Up Sorage Space ON The Ipod Touch

    It shouldn't take up space because the emails are saved on email provider server (yahoo.com, rr.com, etc) All of the provider should do this.

  • I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes.  I turned on and off.  I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you access the mail on another device?

  • Mailboxes on Mac - can i see on iPod Touch 2G?

    Recently got an iPod Touch 32GB 2G (2.1.1) and i want to know if there is any way to sync (and therefore see) all the mailboxes i have on my Mac with the Touch?
    The only way i can see it working so far is to move the mailboxes from 'On My Mac' to the '.Mac Account' i really don't want to do this. Is there any other way??
    Thanks.
    PS: i tested with moving one mailbox to the .Mac Account, and it also remained On My Mac... is it possible that it could function this way? as in the same box existing in two places, and when a message gets moved to it (either manually, or with a rule) then it is saved in both places??

    pretty much want it to sync. I guess more detail is needed! If i'm using the Mac, and message arrives that is controlled by a rule, then it gets moved to a mailbox that is On My Mac. if i then sync the Touch, only messages that are in the Inbox are sent to the Touch, and any messages that have been moved, i would not be able to see/read/reply to from the Touch.
    Maybe i didn't fully understand what you said. When you say 'add them manually' do you mean to add the mailboxes manually on the Touch? i haven't found a way to do that yet. is there a way?
    what did you mean by connection?
    sorry for the confusion!

  • On my mac cached mailboxes copied to my ipod touch

    I have some mailboxes cached on my mac but they don't synch to my ipod touch v2.1 14 GB like my [email protected] mailboxes which do synch.Is there a way to synch both?

    There was a glitch I ran across in iTunes.  I had always had Manually manage music and videos checked and sometime betweein iOS 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1 there was an issue that caused the check to go a way and I could no longer manage my musically manually.  I rechecked the Manage Manually check box and got the message that it would erase all my music and videos.  I hate having the system manage this for me so I went through the painful process of re-adding all my music and playlists to my phone to get this feature back.  Since I did this I haven't had any problems but it was a real pain when I had to do it.
    There may be another answer to this but that was what I had to do to get Manual Music Management back on my phone.

  • IPod touch is tripling my messages from mail.  Doesn't happen all the time.  Upon checking my mail, all incoming messages will show up at least 3 times.

    iPod Touch is showing my mail messages tripled.  Incoming messages show up three times instead of as only one message.

    I've tried reindexing dozens of times.  It never makes a difference.  I have another issue today.
    I just went through a smart "unread" mailbox of 200 messages.  I individually selected all but 4 emails and deleted them all.  After they were deleted, I went to my regular inbox to find an old mesage and all the 196 emails I had just deleted were still in there.

  • ToDo's -- Why aren't they in iCal on my iMac and my iPod Touch?

    To anyone that will listen at Apple...
    I’ve been a devoted Apple user for years. I’ve owned 2 different palm pilots and did the best I could to sync them with my Mac (Palm Desktop, The Missing Sync) -- though always with only limited success.
    I’ve always longed for the day Apple would come up with the perfect portable device that could flawlessly sync with my desktop. And after a very long wait, I have finally bought the iPod Touch -- thinking it would be everything I’d always hoped in terms of ease of use, synchronization, and all around perfection! Now, I do indeed believe that my new Touch can do anything -- it blows the buttons off of my old Palm device... BUT... why in the world would the desktop version of iCal, which holds all my very precious and plentiful ToDo’s, not perfectly sync with my Touch’s “Calendar” app so that it includes everything right where it deserves to be??? Why isn’t it just “iCal”??? I understand (after much searching) that apparently (and confusingly!?!) I can have my iCal ToDo’s sent to the Mail app on my Touch... if I have an IMAP email account... which I don’t... but why would you guys set it up that way in the first place?!? Everything else you’ve created is so elegant, so intuitive. What good are To Do’s to me in a mailbox? I’d like them right where I have them on my iMac!?! A beautiful little checklist...
    Since last year, I’ve been looking at all sorts of “To Do” apps, pouring through reviews, hoping for something great to be there. And I could choose one... and I could use it, but... why in the world do I have to???
    I guess this is less of a question and more of a request for the creators of the OS X and the iPhone OS, but could you please, PLEASE make these two wonderful calendars work together, in EVERY way? Could you make them sync wirelessly too? Could you update these two platforms together, and make this work for those of us that really deserve to see this major oversight corrected? I’ve read other’s comments on this subject, and it confounds everyone that it affects... in my mind, it’s simply so... un-Apple of you!
    Don’t make it cost anything, and don’t make me wait long either -- this should have been correct from the start. I will consult with you and help you understand the problem better, if that’s what it takes. But please just get this one little HUGE thing right. For me, and everyone that loves everything Apple!
    Thanks!

    totally agree. I ended up buying 3rd party to do list software, which I then have to synch via wifi with my desktop imac. Why couldn't a ToDo list be built into the ipod?

  • IPod Touch - WiFi - SSID Broadcast Works/SSID No Broadcast Doesn't Work

    This is maddening in so many different ways:
    I have two (2) 2nd Generation iPod Touch 8Gb products. Both are nearly identical in every way -- how they connect, OS, Library, similar Apps (but not the same all the time), etc.
    iPod Touch "A" works flawlessly. No issues, no problems, no complaints
    iPod Touch "B" started behaving badly by first loosing my WPA security but recognizing my home network. Strong password creation was a hassle but I got cleaver. Over time, it got worse to the point that it would not even recognize the existence of my 802.11g home network.
    CAVEATS 1) We live in a rural area and on my property, not another network can be found. 2) Plenty of 2.4 Ghz stuff around including other wireless computers but... 3) This is my profession and I am flummoxed but have ideas....
    FINDINGS: 1) iPod "B" works fine in the public space. All wireless networks work just fine and dandy. 2) I turn on my home network SSID BROADCAST and this iPod works fine (after being set up again). 3) Turn off SSID Broadcast and once this iPod sleeps or is turned off/on, no more network but go to any place that has a public broadcast SSID and no security and it's fine again... 4) No matter what I have and what I do, iPOD "A" works flawlessly.
    WHAT I HAVE DONE: 1) made sure that I have plenty of DHCP scope -- yup. 2) Checked my leases - when connected I see perfectly valid MACs and leases without incident. 3) Check for overlapping or conflicts in IP Address allocation and MAC addresses (you never know...) - no problems there. 4) Quadruple checked "A" vs. "B" settings -- identical. 5) Dumped the entire flash and OS and started with a clean slate -- same issues with no apps, music, photos, movies -- nada... just a raw iPod like it came out of the box... same problem 6) Asked Apple to replace it as it's under warranty -- done. 7) Started testing again as a clean slate and found that it worked... replacing the iPod did the trick...
    So, I "RESTORE" the iPOD to garner all the hard work that was put into it -- contacts, settings, etc. I "SYNCH" the iPOD to recover my angel's precious photos, apps, movies, music.... I return it back to it's originally desired state EXCEPT that one must completely reconfigure things like networking by hand -- OK.
    It's back to normal, as desired, in the configuration we want and it WORKS!!!! Albeit... only for a day... and now we are back to where we started -- again...
    iPod "A" works flawlessly and the new "B" is back to it's same old tricks --
    OK - What does a restore do anyway? Is there some small pile of firmware that writes over the fresh load from OS? In order to preserve my contacts and other things a restore supports, did I uncover the super secret bug that Apple will refuse to acknowledge? Can I still say that I hate iTunes without being flamed a thousand deaths? Is there a diagnostic easter egg I can try?
    And before I started this soliloquy -- I watched my functioning iPod "B" go to sleep with a working home network... only to wake her from her slumber... tuned out - with Not Connected living in her Wi-Fi field.... <sigh - simply maddening>
    The only thing that sets these two apart are the nuances associated with configs that are part of the user's own personal interface desires and resident app input (contacts, calendar, etc...).

    First off -- thank you all for replying and providing your insight, stories, and findings with your own iPod Touch, MAC, and iPhone WiFi fun...
    You are all wonderful contributors.
    Just to be clear, as others have mentioned -- this is not a feature and we should not have to tolerate it. This iPod, like the other one and yours too, once worked flawlessly and then continued to degrade to a point of not functioning according the 802.11g ieee standard. Something that has been in development for over 10 years and has been an adopted standard in consumer electronics for more than 7 years -- an eternity in this industry.
    To be clear, I performed TWO ultimate resets -- completely wiping the firmware and OS of the original hardware and tested a completely wiped iPod Touch to no avail and the second "reset" was a brand new replacement -- right out of the box -- under warranty. No network resets necessary. The new iPod worked as expected without any original data loaded. Once a backup was "restored," and the iPod was synch'd with the library of choice, then the troubles started again. The networking does not restore -- you have to build a secure network from scratch. And again, the "A" iPod exhibits none of this odd behavior.
    It is a testament that Apple has a problem in code when other iPods running similar OS behave the same. The reason that I mention the geeky standard above is because we should not have to broadcast our SSID for this to work -- it's an open standard, not something proprietary. We should not have to conform to "work around" solutions. And, yes, NOT broadcasting SSID is part of the entire package of sound security. I have to strongly disagree with all the nay-sayers. You don't go walking around the streets with money hanging out of your pockets or your wallet sticking out of your shirt pocket for a reason -- but I bet that you have cash on you and I can find it pretty quickly. It's why purse snatching is a crime of violence and rampant in larger cities and pick-pockets use finesse. One is easy pickings for anyone to try and the other requires tools and skills. If you don't flaunt it, the low level threat is removed.
    As for strong security, the option for WEP is not an option. I use multiple levels of acceptable stronger encryption, logging, limited DHCP scopes, MAC controls at times, stateful firewall controls, and other radio tricks of the trade. My only failings is having to pander to the lowest common denominator within my home network.
    Anyway, I spent a bit more time surfing and find this problem ubiquitous in 2.2.1 and forward. Something is amiss at Apple. All my Window based products work just fine (as does my Wii).
    Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

  • IPod touch and mail syncing

    I thought I saw a video on Apple's site showing that you could organize mail on the touch and it would show those changes on your computer. For example, if I delete a message on the touch, it will be deleted on my computer. Is this possible? It seems kind of redundant to have to go through the same messages twice. Thanks for any help with this issue.

    You can try this to see. Plug your iPod touch in the computer. When iTunes pops up and you're on the iPod preference screen, click info. Scroll down to the Mail section and check to sync your e-mail. After that's done, go to the Mail app on your iPod touch. It should display the inbox. There is a button on the upper left that says Mailbox. You're folders should be synced (not sure about Smart Folders, but I think it should).

  • Deleting e-mail on iPod Touch 2

    I have an aol account on my iPod. The e-mail is working fine on my e-mail and everything else as well. No WiFi problems with my home setup.
    My problem is that I can't seem to delete my messages that I no longer want. When I try to place the message in the trash it goes there but than I get a message it can't delete the message, etc. Is there any way to delete these messages. I of course can delete messages from my iMac or Notebook with no problem.

    I had the same problem when trying to delete my AOL mail after I took the 2.2 upgrade. This worked for me - I imagine it would work the same on a Mac:
    1. Log onto your AOL account on your PC.
    2. In the My Folders tab on the left, add a new folder named Trash.
    3. Close out of AOL.
    4. Sync your iPod. (Don't know if this is necessary, but it's what I did.)
    5. Open your Mail on your iPod Touch. You will now have a Trash mailbox, right below your Sent mailbox.
    6. Now when you open a message and click on the trash can at the bottom of the screen, your message goes to the Trash mailbox. From there you can delete it.
    Don't know why the extra step is necessary, but it's the only way I've been able to delete mail. Hope this helps.

  • To Dos on iPod Touch?

    I have just purchased an iPod Touch and expected my calendar events and to dos to synchronise. The calendar is ok, but I cannot find the ToDos. I've checked the manual and there is no reference. I also checked the iPhone manual and was surprised to find no reference to ToDos. Can we assume that ToDos are not reconciled with either the iPod Touch or the iPhone? I would have thought that all the PIM functions--calendar, ToDos, Notes and Smart Mailboxes ought to appear on the handhelds.
    Maybe I'm missing something.

    I believe the iphone has a notes feature. Don't forget the touch is an ipod, not a PDA. Hopefully after the SDK is released in Feb we will see more apps like a ToDos, email, ect.
    You can always let Apple know what you'd like to see.

  • How do I burn movies I took on my iPod touch onto DVD?

    I love my iPod touch and I have been getting great videos of my daughter on it, but I'd like to burn those movies onto a DVD so her grandparents 5 hours away can watch them.  Can anyone help me with this?

    You will need to transfer them to your computer. Instructions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    You'll then need to use DVD creation and burning software to build and burn the disk. If you search the web for something like "Windows DVD create", you should find a number of options. You will need a drive in your computer capable of burning a DVD, of course.
    Regards.
