How do I make new folders in mail?

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

Creating new folders in Mail

Greetings..
How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)

Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

How do you create new folders in Mail?

How are new folders created in the Mail application?

If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP type account then at the top of the list of the folders that you've currently got in the account there should be an Edit button. If it's a POP account then you can't create additional folders

How do I create new folders in Mail on my iPad?

It is probably obvious, but I am missing it. I want to create folders in my email accounts on my iPad to store emails I wish to keep. Unfortunately, I have not been able to discover how.
Please advise. Thanks.

Hello,
On your Mac ...
If you are using Mac Mail at the bottom of the window under: Mailboxes
Click + then click: New Mailbox
Now connect your iPad to your Mac. Select iPad under Devices in the iTunes window. Under the Info tab select: Sync Mail Mail Accounts.
Deselect anything else you don't want to sync at the same time in that window.

Creating new folders in Mail on iPhone?

How can I create new mail folders on the Mail app on the iPhone?

Mailboxes stored locally on your hard drive are not included with the iTunes sync process. No mailboxes and messages are included with the iTunes sync process. The email accounts option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences is for transferring email account settings from your computer to your iPhone only so you don't have to manually create the account with the iPhone's mail client.
With a POP account, the only mailboxes available will be the account's Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes. The account's Sent mailbox will not be created until you send a message with the account, and the account's Drafts mailbox will not be created until you save a message as a draft.
Accessing a POP account with the iPhone's mail client is no different from accessing the account with a different email client on your computer, or with an email client on another computer. All mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the existing email client being used to access the account will not be available after creating the account with another email client on your computer, or with an email client on another computer. The same applies to the iPhone's mail client. There are no phones in the smart phone category that provide for accessing mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, and I'm not aware of any phones in the smart phone category that provide for syncing locally stored mailboxes on your computer.
Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. You can't store sent messages on the server with a POP account, so messages sent with one email client used to access the account will not be available with another email client used to access the account and vice-versa.
An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with all server stored mailboxes for the account available with each email client used to access the account along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server. Send a message with the iPhone's mail client with an IMAP account and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account and vice-versa.
You can also create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing an IMAP account to store received and sent messages by category, and the additional server stored mailboxes created with the email client used on your computer for accessing an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client, or with another email client used on a different computer for accessing the account, along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with a POP account.
I access an IMAP account with the email client on my Mac, with the iPhone's mail client, and with Windows Mail on a PC running Vista that I use at work for estimating software that doesn't have a Mac version. All server stored mailboxes with the account are available with each email client that I use to access the account, along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically.
Have you ever used a Windows Mobile device to access your POP account? If so, were all mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the email client used on your computer available with the Windows Mobile device? Sure you could probably create locally stored mailboxes or folders on a Windows Mobile device to store received and sent messages by category, but all your existing locally stored mailboxes or folders with the email client used on your computer would not be available with the Windows Mobile device with no way to transfer the mailboxes or folders from your computer to the device. Would you also want to throw a brick through Microsoft's corporate office windows because you aren't able to transfer and access all locally stored mailboxes or folders on your computer with your Windows Mobile Device? Probably not, but if the account can be accessed as an IMAP account, you would have access to all mailboxes and folders with the email client on the Windows Mobile device if all mailboxes and folders are stored on the server.

Making new folders always open is new windows?

I have a folder of photos that I want to copy to an external drive. I open the folder on my desktop, connect an external drive, open the folder on the drive, though it now opens in the same window as the folder that I opened previously, which is quite annoying. How can I set it up so that it does not do this?
Thanks.

When you select the second location CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Open from the menu.

Maverick mail, new folders

why do I have so many new folders in mail? On my mac, there's junk (gmail), junk (icloud), junk (my pop account), plus I have a junkmail folder in each account folder, there's a deleted message folder in each account, and then there's also trash in each folder. What's the difference between trash and deleted messages? What's the folder in Gmail called "important"?! why is the gmail "in box" moved? Why do I get hundreds of multiples of a message I've written saved in trash? It seems like it saves a copy every 2 seconds?

To my knowledge what shows up for POP3 accounts is what the ISP provides. You can't created local folders for POP 3 accounts since local POP3 accounts do not sync with the server, they just download (and deleted it specified). It sounds like your ISP has added a bulk mail folder and it now appears on your iPad. I do not know why they appear in only one account. Is there any difference (besides the address) in the accounts from the same ISP?

I am trying to set up new folders under another e-mail in my inbox. The folder names are not displaying under the e-mail name. How can I get them to appear?

In my mail program on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get new folders to appear / be listed under a second e-mail account. They show up at the bottom of the window but not at the top as do the other folders in the initial e-mail account. How can I get my folders to appear?

- It does not make any difference what ID was used for setup.
- I would delete the email account from the iPod and then Goog for how to set up the account for yur particular provider. Example is: setup earthlink email on iphone
YOU can also go to your provider's support site and they should have instructions.

How do I create new folders in my mail?

How do I create new folders to divide and save my mail into catergories?

Hi Tina
Two ways to do this:
1 in Mail, go the tool bar at the top of the screen, select Mailbox, then select New Mailbox in the menu.
2 in Mail, go the lefthand column, and at the bottom left you should see a plus sign and a cogwheel icon. Click on the plus sign and a new, untitled, mailbox will appear in the column above. Name this as you like.
You can "nest" mailboxes inside other mailboxes (eg inside a box I called "personal" I have individual mailboxes for each of my family and friends).
Then simply drag messages from your inbox to the appropriate mailbox in the lefthand column when you want to archive them.
Hope this helps!

Mail Not Sorting new Folders Added Alphbetically

Hello! I have tons of sub folders in my inbox, and I would like it to sort them all alphabetically. This was all fine, but recently the last 6 folders I added to the list were appended to the bottom of the list, and not sorted alphabetically with the rest of the sub folders. Is there anyway I can reapply the sort alphabetically feature to the folder list? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1) Closed and restarted Mail App
2) Restarted Computer
3) Added another new folder and it is still appended to bottom of list even after all the reboots
4) Mail is confirmed to work
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure, but I suspect the new Snow Leopard feature ...
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html#mail
... that lets you move folders around manually might be what's causing the weird behavior.
In Leopard, you could move a folder inside another folder but, otherwise, they would always stay in alphabetical order, I think.
Anyways, in Snow Leopard (and Leopard for that matter), there's an invisible file around ~/Library/Mail/<name of your email account>/.mboxCache.plist It seems to keep a list of the mboxes in that folder/account. In Snow Leopard, the first time you manually move an mbox out of alphabetical order, a new key called MailboxDisplayOrder seems to get created in that plist for all the existing "non-special" (i.e. not INBOX, Sent, Drafts, etc.) mboxes in that folder. Once that key exists, it seems like new folders get appended to the end of the order.
I don't know the right way to fix the problem though. I'm really just posting my observations, based on what I'm seeing on my computer. I'd be very careful about manually messing with invisible files in your mail, especially if you don't have a good backup. (No idea if you can restore an invisible file with Time Machine.) A lot of this is guesswork. But I thought maybe it'd help someone.
Later,

I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

> The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
> I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
> I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.
> It is definitely not a case of my inbox not being expanded.
> I have tried running in safe mode with addons disabled and toolbars reset, but it still doesn't work.
> I opened up the subscribe box, and the folders do not appear there to be subscribed too - which leads me to believe they aren't being created in the first place.
Please help - I have run out of ideas of what to do or try. Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks for you response.

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.
Regards
Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.
