Mailboxes vs. Folders

One more quick question. Why is it that there are folders under .MAC for deleted messages, drafts, junk and sent messages? These seem duplicative, since these are also under MAILBOXES. I can't quite figure how they differ and how only certain messages show up in the "folders."
Thanks for any insight.

don't delete those mailboxes. Mail didn't create them. those are mailboxes created on the server at the moment your email account was first created. they are used for example when you access your account from webmail. you can use them instead of the mailboxes that Mail set up later. say, select "sent" mailbox in the imap section at the bottom. then go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

HT2500 how to alphabetize mailboxes (mail folders) in left column of Mail application

Does anyone know how to how to alphabetize mailboxes (mail folders) in left column of Mail application? It should be easy, but I can't find a way.
Thanks.

Hi sanjampet, that didn't work for me. I disabled my five email accounts, which made the emails dissappear, all mail folders were still visible, I closed the program. I reopened the program, re-enabled the email accounts, and all the same folders were all still visible - not in alphabetical order, so frustrating. One would think apple would have a simple button that could be clicked to put mail box folders into order? Drag and drop is too difficult for me too due to the number of mailboxes. Any other thoughts?

My iPhone shows 1.0GB of memory used by Mail. I've emptied all mailboxes and folders but still show 1.0 GB

After upgrading to iOS7, I noted my iPhone 5 shows 1.0GB for Mail in the Usage list. I've cleaned out all mailboxes and folders but still show the Mail app as using 1.0 GB. Am I missing something?

From another thread -
Deleting mail from backup
In any case, I'm posting this to help others. I can't say with certainty what fixed this for me, but my hunch is that deleting (and then re-adding) the iCloud account on BOTH my iPhone and iPad had something to do with it. Or maybe it was launching/syncing via Mail.app, and/or giving it some time. Or maybe those prayers had something to do with it after all.
The funniest part about all of this is that my whole iPhone backup (with small Camera Roll) takes up 3.6 GB and my whole iPad backup (with even smaller Camera Roll) takes up 1.4 GB... so I'm still right up against that 5 GB quota, and will still end up paying $20/year for the extra 10 GB of space anyway. If only for elbow room, and if only for peace of mind.
So there ya have it.

Shared mailboxes / shared folders

Is anyone working with shared IMAP mailboxes (ie. mailboxes shared betwen several users) within Mail?
I have some nested mailboxes on the server which I an trying to share between a few reps:
mailboxA
mailboxB/mailbox1
mailboxB/mailbox2/mailboxY
mailboxB/mailbox2/folerZ
Only mailboxA will show in Mail. But all mailboxes show correctly in Thunderbird and webmail.
Is there a trick to getting this working in mail 10.4?
thanks,
b.
(fwiw, i'm sure I had this working under 10.3 a few years back in a previous position)

Hi,
Both KB2817630 and KB2817347 apply to Office 2013, they shouldn't apply to Office 2010 per my knowledge.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817630/en-us
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817347/en-us
We can try this on this issue:
Go to File tab -> Account Settings ->
Account Settings -> E-mail tab, select your account and press
Change button -> More Settings ->
Advanced tab -> Cached Exchange Mode Settings section, untick
Download shared folders -> OK.
Or you can have a user create a new profile to setup the account, test if this issue persists:

Mailboxes and Folders in Mail

Does anyone know why mail creates folders for my IMAP accounts named "Deleted Messages", "Junk", "Sent" etc. I already have these setup as mailboxes at the top of mail and folders don't seem to mirrow my mailboxes just have a small selection of random emails.
Mail seems to create these folders for each mailbox I create and I'm wondering if I can safely delete them?
Thnx,
Kerry

don't delete those mailboxes. Mail didn't create them. those are mailboxes created on the server at the moment your email account was first created. they are used for example when you access your account from webmail. you can use them instead of the mailboxes that Mail set up later. say, select "sent" mailbox in the imap section at the bottom. then go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

HT2480 IOS 7 - Total unread messages in all sync mailboxes and folders

Is there a way in IOS 7 to have the total number of unread messages count in all synced folders? Right now I see in red over the mail icon the total number of unread messages counting only the Inboxes, but not other folders. I read that this feature was under implementation in previous IOS versions. Isn't ready yet?
Thanks

When you "copied all filesystems", did you also copy the contents of the "mboxlist" directory? That's where the database that keeps that information lives. . . .

Shared Mailbox folders missing in Outlook Cached Mode

Since I got no responses to my
original post in section, "Exchange Server 2013 - Sharing and Collaboration: Site Mailboxes and Public Folders" I'll give it a try here...
We have Exchange 2013 Server (Version 15.0 - Build 913.22). I have a shared mailbox for our support team, "Support Center". This mailbox is configured as a "SharedMailbox". Our team members have been given Full Access
either by the Admin Web Interface or by "Add-MailboxPermission -User user1 -AccessRights FullAccess".
I am seeing this issue using Outlook 2013 Pro plus that manually created subfolders either in the root of the mailbox or folders under the Inbox are not visible. These folders are just for organization, like "Work Order Entered" and are not
like contact folders or any other special folders.
We determined if the Outlook client is configured for "Online Mode"/non-cached the folders appear and are accessible, but if your enabled Cached exchange mode the folders disappear and are no longer accessible. I have cahnged the cache slider
to go all the way right to say cache everything, not just the last so many days, but this did not resolve the issue either.
Upon further testing I have the same issue when I use Search-Mailbox with Targetmailbox and TargetFolder to my "Discovery Search Mailbox". The folders is created and logs are made, but the folder does not show unless I am in exchange online
mode and not cached.
HELP PLEASE! This is very annoying and we need cached mode for the registry key to place sent mail in "SenderAndFrom" sent items. It doesn't work in online mode.
Find this post helpful? Does this post answer your question? Be sure to mark it appropriately to help others find answers to their searches.

Hi CHase,
shared mailboxes shouldnt be cached,only user mailboxes should.Reason for this is because it will download all info from shared mailbox and it can take some time.All company info will also be stored locally,so its security concern.
You mention that you turn on cached mode,is this under user mailbox or additional mailbox as shown below?
The one to left should be fine to cache all,but the one to the right only first check mark should be on.We have this configuratuon and senderandfrom registry works well.
If you access OWA,then choose to open another mailbox,then choose the "support center" mailbox,do you see all folders?
By granting full access doesnt give you send as permission,for this you will need to run this command:
Get-Mailbox "[email protected]" | Add-ADPermission -User "[email protected]" -ExtendedRights "Send As"
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

Exchange 2013 - Folders missing when importing PST to archive mailbox

Hello,
I'm having an issue when importing PST files to an Exchange 2013 archive mailbox using the command "New-MailboxImportRequest
test -FilePath '\\server\e$\ArchiveExport\test.pst' -IsArchive -BadItemLimit 5 -ErrorAction Stop"
The import is running without an error and shows the status complete. The size of the archive mailbox is exactly the same like the size
of the PST file!
But when I check the users archive mailbox some folders are missing. It seems that this happens only to default folders like "Inbox"
or "Sent Items". Other folders are visible.
The mailbox import log shows the following:
16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.
16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Copying 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
If I start the import process again the log says the following:
16.01.15 16:46:54 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.16.01.15
16:46:54 [server] Copying 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes). Skipping 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes).
So it seems that the mails are really there but just not visible.
I did some tests:
When I import the PST file directly to the users mailbox (without parameter -IsArchive) I can see all content of the PST file.
When I add the parameter -TargetRootFolder "Testfolder" the whole PST content shows up correctly under that folder.
Can anyone explain this?
Regards

Hi PhilippMair,
Thank you for your question.
If all subfolders were merged, we could use OWA to check if the missing folders is appeared. If we could see missing folders by OWA, I suggest we recreate outlook profile and reset outlook view.
In order to troubleshooting, I suggest we collect the import log to analysis if the subfolder of Inbox or Sent Item is exported.
In my test lab, inbox has three subfolders, there are 123,456,789; when I import PST file, I will see the following log:
1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox'.
1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 18 items, 302.3 KB (309,594 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/123' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/123'.
1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 5 items, 62.21 KB (63,699 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/456' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/456'.
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 6.908 KB (7,074 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/789' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/789'.
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 21.31 KB (21,820 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
We could check if there are any subfolder which would not be merged and copied. If your import log has any abnormal, I suggest you send log file to
[email protected] for our troubleshooting.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Local folders in Mail

Hi, I have a problem to create a new "Local Folder" in my Mail program. I am talking about local folders which I can see in right gray panel in Mail program ( Inbox, Smart Mailboxes, Reminders, RSS and On My Mac - local folders).
These folders was created when I moved my all e-mail from external HD. I can not find these folders on my Macintosh HD.
Any suggestion, please.

yes, Mac OS is good ( Idid not know about it until move from PC to Mac last week).
I found this folder: Mac HD-Users-choose admin or user - library-mail-mailboxes-LOCAL FOLDERS.
If you want to add a folder - put a new folder in there and name it with extension .mbox.
It is so simple.

How can I see my all of my mailboxes on my iPhone?

I have a 4s iPhone with iOS7.1.2. On my email app, I cannot see all of the mailboxes that I am able to see on my iMac computer. On my iPhone, I see the inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash, etc. On my iMac computer, I have created mailboxes (like folders) where I save emails. I cannot see these on my iPhone. My husband is able to access all the mailboxes on his folders. Do you know what I need to change in order to access all of the mailboxes?

This will depend on a couple of things, but primarily on what type of email you have: POP or IMAP. If you are using a POP account, then no. Those folders you created on the iMac are ONLY on the iMAC, not on the server, consequently you can't see them on the iOS device. Nor can you create folders on an iOS device.
If you do have an IMAP account, it is still possible you created the folders locally and not on the server. They wouldn't show up either, but this could be rectified by creating the folders under the account on the iMac (not local).

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

Disappearing mailboxes after import from iMac (10.7.5) to MBP (10.8.4)

I've been using an iMac (OS X 10.7.5, Mail v 5.3) for all mail functions for years and recently bought a refurb MacBook Pro Retina (OS X 10.8.4, Mail v 6.5). I set up the MBP to import all applications, files, accounts, etc., from the iMac. This all went pretty well, except for Mail. The mailboxes and folders I had set up on the iMac did not appear in the Mail app on the MBP. I managed OK with this setup for awhile, but the other day I decided to try to get all the folders to be the same on both machines, so I imported them via WiFi. After doing so, all but one of the mailboxes on the iMac have been renamed as /Volumes/[username]/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/[mailbox name]. All are empty, except for the one which came through OK. I would like to get those old folder names with the contents inside as they were before.
As for the MBP, the folders appear under /On My Mac/Import/[folder name], and the corresponding emails are found within. Only issue is that there are strangely-named sub-folders, such as /Deleted Messages/F64553E2-9025-47E3-9941-53048CE9B7D1; inside that is a folder named Data; inside that are folders 0 & 1. This goes on for a few more levels until the bottom folder, Messages, shows up with deleted messages, the latest of which is dated 6/23/13 (the most recently dated deleted message in the topmost Deleted Messages folder is 7/5/13). Naturally, I'd like to clean this mess up and, eventually, get all mail folders on both machines synced.
Anyone out there think you might be able to help? Thanks.
BTW, I thought it best to leave out details of any IOS issues with my iPhone mail and iPad mail. I'm mainly concerned with the MBP and the iMac.

Select all your mailboxes on the old Mac, and then select
Mailbox ▹ Export Mailbox...
from the Mail menu bar. Export the mailboxes to the Desktop folder. Transfer to the new Mac.
On the new Mac, import the mailboxes you transferred:
File ▹ Import Mailbox...

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 (In an Exchange 2010 Coexistance Scenario) - In order to remove 2007 Mailbox Objects from Active Directory and remove the SBS2008 server completely

I'm trying to remove Exchange 2007 from an SBS 2008 server
(Server 2008 Standard FE). My ultimate goal is to completely remove the SBS 2008 Server from the network environment.
We have an Exchange 2010 Coexistence Scenario and Mailboxes/Public Folders/etc have been moved over to the 2010 mail server, on Server 2008 R2.
I have moved all Shares, FSMO roles, DHCP, DNS, etc over to their respective servers. We have two full blown DC's in the environment.
I'm ready to remove Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 and DCPROMO the server. I can NOT seem to find a TechNet article that shows me how
to proceed in this kind of scenario. I am trying to use the TechNet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd728003(v=ws.10).aspx
This article references Disabling Mailboxes, Removing OAB, Removing Public Folder Databases, then uninstalling Exchange using the Setup Wizard.
When I go to Disable Mailboxes I get the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Disable' could not be performed on object 'Username (edited)'.
Username (edited)
Failed
Error:
Object cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.
OK
I really don't see why I need to Disable Mailboxes, Remove OAB and Public Folder Databases since they have been moved to 2010. I just want
to remove Exchange 2007 and DCPROMO this server (actually I just want to remove any lingering Exchange AD Objects referring to the SBS 2008 Server, using the easiest and cleanest method possible).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that you are in a migration process (migrate SBS 2008 to Windows Server
2008 R2). Now, you want to remove Exchange Server and demote server. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

How to delete a Mailbox or folder

I have somehow acquired extra mailboxes (or folders) which I have not added.
One is called VIPs and has a star at the left. This folder appeared a couple of days ago
and is empty. When I click using fingers, there is no option to delete. Can you please
advise how I can lose this folder.
Using GMail for emails. Have checked previous posts but can find no reference which
solves the issue.
Using Macbook Pro.
Thank you

Thank you very much for prompt replies.
Checking through solutions.
One post advises doing the folowing -
Quit from mail, and then do this:
In the finder, under GO, pull down to "Go to Folder" and enter ~/library
Open Mail
Open V2
Open MailData
Delete VIPSenders.plist
Restart Mail
Unfortunately, I have no heading for GO in Finder, will come back to this later.
Quite new to Macs.
Really appreciate your help.
