Mailboxes shown in mail!

Hi
I am new to mac, have mac pro and leopard, thats fien, now I am transferring my outlook stuff to leopard, that one goes well too, but setiing up email accounts in mail i do not understand why my new .MAC account is shown wneh the account, with my new .mac email name, is also shown, seems the are indentical in contenst.
can i delet / clos on of them ?
I have a pop account to, that works fine.
second question, sometimes the send action just result in a eternal rotating icon, an d then send does not take place, get an errormessage about smtp serve offline or not responding. however veh I tets the all i fine.
PAlle

you may have two duplicate .mac accounts. go to mail>preferences>accounts and on the left hand side column do you have two .mac accounts showing? if so you can delete one.
if you have problems with sending, either the smtp server is offline, or your internet connection has some issues, as in slow for example, which results in the process to check the smtp server times out or gives you an error. if you do send eventually it is not an issue with a wrong setting, as in wrong port or wrong smtp setting, just an issue with the internet connection.
hope this helps

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

The only thing I can think of is to set the number of days to sync messages, shown below. But I'm not sure if this is what you're after. If it is go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the email account you wish to change.
This will then only sync emails from the last week for example. In the screenshot all email messages would be synced to the iPhone.

How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

One thing that might help out.
To add a folder or a mailbox to your existing account, you need to add it on your computer.
Now, this will work and reflect to the iphone if you are using an imap or exchange account.
If you are using a pop account, you will not be able to add a folder to an account on the iphone.
Hope this helps.

Wanted to know how to make new mailboxes in e mail.

Wanted to know how to make new mailbox in e mail.

If you are on iOS 5+ and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button, and you are limited to the folders that you currently have.

Presence status not shown in Mail since Mavericks upgrade

Hi there,
In Messages I have two chat accounts, GTalk and Jabber with many contacts. Presence is shown here, I can chat with them, fine.
Before I upgraded to Mavericks pesence of these contacts was also shown in Mail. Both when reading in incoming e-mail or composing a new one.
Now it's nothing and I don't see a way to repair this, any ideas?
Thanks!

Today I had the chance to test this thoroughly.
1st: MacOS 10.8.3 - contact is green in iMessage, mail from contact shows the green presence bubble in mail.app
2nd: MacOS 10.9.1 -contact is green in iMessage, mail from contact shows nothing about presence
It was the same contact, same e-mail, same machine.
Is there anybody from Apple watching this?

How to change colour of mailbox containing new mail

I have Thunderbird sort my incoming mail into various mailboxes based on various criteria.
Until recently, when new mail arrived in any box, the title of that box (in the list, left hand pane) turned red - thus making it easy for me to identify which boxes needed my attention. For some reason this has stopped. The incremental number showing the number of unread messages still changes, but the title colour remains black.
Anyone know how to change the behaviour to highlight mailboxes containing new mail please?
Thanks..

My point is that until recently the behaviour was automatic - it changed the colour of box names as amatter of course. This has now changed, wth all box names being in black whether or not there is new mail in the box.
I receive a lot of mail and being able to quickly distinguish which box had received new mail would make life easier..
I suspect there is a setting within Thunderbird to enable this but I'm damned if I can find it..

Can't import my mailboxes from Tiger Mail into Leopard

Hi everyone,
I bought a new MBP and I'm now in the process of carefully importing my mailboxes from Tiger mail, on my Tiger backup HD, to the new mail program. I have about 20000 messages saved since 1999, sorted by project etc. Each time I select a batch of mailboxes to import, I get a failure message when it's almost done, saying that some messages couldn't be imported. This is very frustrating: my e-mail archive is possible the most important collection of files on the computer. I would hate for it to become messed up/corrupted.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Alex

Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.

Rule to open mailbox containing unread mail?

I had been using Eudora, but have recently switched to Mail. When I used Eudora, it would open a destination mailbox when new mail was filtered to it. Is there a way that I can do this with Mail, either using rules or apple script? Othewise it's very tedious to have to manually open every mailbox marked with unread mail, and I will end up missing critical messages. There's got to be a better way.
I found Andreas Amaan's Mail Scripts (http://www.andreasamann.com/MacOSX/Mail_Scripts) - but the Open Mailbox script which was written to do exactly what I need - doesn't seem to work with Mountain Lion.
Can anyone provide an updated script?

I think there is already a default "Unread" Smart Mailbox.
If there isn't, here's what it would look like:

Can't Copy Messages/Mailbox Back Into Mail

Hi,
Something strange is happening, so I'm hoping someone here can help work it out. This is what I did:
(1) In Mail, I had a sub-folder (Folder A) on my Mac. It was annoying me (because it was a sub-folder and I wanted to make a full folder), so I ...
(2) Copied the Folder A.mbox to my desktop and then deleted the sub-folder in Mail.
(3) I've been trying to move/copy the messages and/or mailbox back into Mail from my desktop but it won't budge. I've tried opening a new folder in Mail to paste the messages into, tried to import them, but nothing works. They're stuck on the desktop in Folder A.mbox.
(4) the .emlx messages themselves are not corrupted as I can open them individually from the desktop. I can move, paste, copy them everywhere BUT Mail.
Does anyone here have any idea what's going on, and how I can move Folder A back into Mail where it belongs?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
In earlier versions of Mail, each xxxx.mbox folder had its own index (different name for the index in Jaguar and earlier vs Panther. In Tiger, there is only one universal index, spanning all mailboxes -- this was done, most likely, to benefit Spotlight.
Thus, using the Finder, in pre-Tiger OSX, you could place a xxxx.mbox into the Mailboxes folder, and when you next launched Mail, it would find the newly added mailbox, and all would be well.
In Tiger, you can no longer simply move in a new xxxx.mbox, nor replace any xxxx.mbox folder, because the indexing will not recognize it, without an additional step of forcing Mail to reindex ALL mailboxes, by removing the Envelope Index -- you can force this to happen, by finding the Envelope Index file at the root level of the Mail folder, and removing (after having Quit Mail). When you then relaunch Mail, it will announce that is ready to import your mailboxes -- allow this to happen, and it will really only be reindexing all your mailboxes, including any into which you paste the xxx.emlx files, from any xxxxx.mbox folders that have been created with Mail 2.x, or that you have dragged into the Mailboxes folder.
In Mail 2.x, you can import mailboxes from any folder of xxxx.mbox folders (created with Mail 2.x), selecting only those you wish to copy, and these become additional xxxx.mbox folders in the Mailboxes folder, and the Import function takes care of the indexing issue.
Keep us posted.

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")

How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

From Mail help:
Make a sender a VIP
To keep track of messages you receive from especially important people, make them VIPs in Mail. You can have up to 100 VIPs.
To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar.
If a VIP has several email addresses in Contacts, messages from any of those addresses will appear in the VIP’s mailbox.
If you use iCloud Contacts, your VIPs are available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
So to remove a VIP mailbox, you would have to remove all its people, and then exit mail.

Importing mailbox - no valid mail files found

Hi
I'm having problems importing a mailbox from my back-up on a CD-ROM. I click on 'Import Mailbox' and choose 'mail for os x' and then the folder which ends '*.mbox'. I then get an error which says, 'No valid mail files found'. Within that mailbox I can see messages ending *.emix but it just won't work.
Can anyone help me to restore these emails?
Thanks.

Back up one directory level and select the Mailboxes folder (/Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/) instead. You should then get a listing of available mailboxes from which you can import. Uncheck those you don't want to import.
