Multiple IMAP emails in hub
I've changed my Passport email from POP3 to IMAP (using a 1&1 uk account). If an email is delivered while I'm using Outlook on my laptop, it correctly appears once in my Outlook inbox but about 30 unread copies of it arrive in my hub on the passport. It all seems to sort itself out about 10 minutes later and the extra copies disappear again. Is there some setting I can change to prevent this happening? I've got push set to 'yes' and time sync set to 5 minutes
Following advice from Crackberry users, I've tried the following -
Deleting account from passport, re-booting & adding account again
Refreshing hub
Setting up a new profile in Outlook - adding the account - removing a/c from passport & adding it again
Done a control test with another imap account (outlook.com) - that worked perfectly
Spoken to 1&1 support - as it works fine on Outlook and in Webmail they're convinced the problem is on the Passport
Has anyone else encountered anything similar or got any ideas on what else I can check?
So, this consistently happens only when you are using Outlook on the computer? You can shut down Outlook, and it stops? You launch Outlook and it starts again? Repeatedly?
If so, sounds to me that it is Outlook on the computer, or Outlook.com, or both, and what is being done with messages in the Inbox. That is, apparently the given message is repeatedly appearing as a new message, gets pushed each time, and later the server sorts it out.
Does not sound like Passport issue.
By the way, I have had weirdness, but not that one.

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.
would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them. -
IMAP email - not updating back at the office
I've been using IMAP email and could always delete or move items around my folders on the iPhone and everything would be identical in Outlook. I could sit in front of outlook and see the items disappear or move as I manipulated them on the iPhone. Not the case since 2.0 update. I'm back to using expunge.exe command to process all the edits done on the iphone.
I know this was an issue in early iphones versions.. and then fixed in a later update.
I have exchange 2000 and can't use the new exchange mail.
Have I missed something? or did 2.0 revert back to the earlier problem?HHaving the same issue here,im don't think you can roll back.
did it start after crashing while trying to send an email with multiple attachments? -
Mail.app handling multiple IMAP accounts
Hi,
I find it really hard to use multiple IMAP accounts with Mail.app. The way it displays IMAP accounts is really ugly and very confusing. At best you have one Inbox which displays all the Inboxes on your accounts. Then you have separate drafts, sent, trash treelike view for your accounts "special" mailboxes and then again some-kind-of-tree-view of your IMAP account - which by the way doesn't always even display! It depends if you have checked save trash/sent/junk/etc. messages to server or something which really doesn't have any logic in it. Also it doesn't display all the folders like Inbox (which is combined mailbox at the top which I explained). Then you can drag mailbox from your IMAP account to the "panel" which I think only copies and is not shortcut.
Could you please do something to this instead of adding some ugly templates for sending your holiday pictures to your mom. I think that Mail.app should be developed to more "professional" usage, rather than develope features that teaches people to use their mailclient as a personal spamming tool for horrible HTML-mails.
ps. I'd also like to turn off that stupid embedded-attachemts. Attachments are attachments and not a part of the email content thanks.
-edit-
you can see a screenshot of my Mail.app at work. I use more mailboxes at home and it's way more ugly. There should also be somekind of "don't display" -options as it displays some horrible Exchange-folders also.

There is a reason for this and it is called SPAM. Open Relay mail servers are not a good thing:

Outlook 2010 w/GoDaddy IMAP email syncing
We're having a host of issues that may translate to Outlook not being an ideal client for IMAP, but I am hoping the forum can provide insight to determine if it's a provider issue or a MS issue.
Specifically, we're having an issue using Outlook 2010 with the IMAP solution from GoDaddy.
After email is received in the Inbox, if the user manually moves emails to non-IMAP folders (an offline PST), they will appear to move to the folder, but then reappear in the inbox a short time later. This also happens with deleted emails- they'll disappear
from the inbox only to reappear a short time later. If you check webmail, you will see that the moved or deleted email still resides in the inbox. (Note- if you are working in webmail with Outlook open and delete a message from within webmail, it's instantaneously
deleted from the Outlook client, which is great, but we need it to work from within the Outlook client this way too- it deletes or moves immediately on the server).
It seems that what is happening is that either Outlook is not sending the proper command to the server that a message was moved or deleted OR perhaps the server gets the command, but fails to perform the action.
GoDaddy said that the only thing it could be is a "known Outlook issue" wherein message flags are not being delivered to their servers from the Outlook client. I've asked a number of reliable engineers and they've never heard of this issue (but think IMAP
is wonky in general).
I have a harder time accepting that because other IMAP accounts seem to work in Outlook, and if flags/commands were not being sent from Outlook, then in theory, none of these accounts should work. Additionally, it's not consistent- sometimes it does work.
Outlook settings are correct according to the provider. Also, in Outlook, under More Settings->Deleted Items we DO have the Purge
items when switching folders online option checked, as most of the time, we do want the deleted items to go away if we switch folders. I have noticed that sometimes, but not always, if I move/delete a message and then switch into the folder where
it was moved to check that it is there (or another folder entirely to do other work), it doesn't return to the inbox as described above. It's not reliable, and isn't a real solution to the issue, and is not practical to do every time.
It's a huge problem for us because if you spend 40 minutes filing away your email only to have it all pop back to where it was, you've wasted a huge amount of time.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.Hi,
Here is what you may try:
1. Firewall and anti-virus software. Turn it off to check the result
2. Any add-ons effected. Start Outlook in safe mode to test. ("Outlook.exe /safe")
3. Test compact the folder after deleting an email. It might be an known issue with Thunderbird client.
4. Any mobile phone sync with account? Remove all mobile device if you have.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Tony Chen
I disabled AV completely and Outlook 2010 with IMAP still has problems with disconnects & timeouts. I recently contacted GoDaddy about this very same thing and got the exact same responses, and Microsoft still denies there's a problem...
These Outlook/IMAP problems have persisted for YEARS!
The problem seems to be one of performance – synchronizing IMAP folders is terribly slow, resulting in chronic disconnections, timeouts, delays of ~4 minutes to delete a message, and lots of user frustration that takes up a lot of my time and I cannot justify
billing for it all. This morning one of my clients reports Inbox messages that have already been read and filed into other folders have just reappeared in their Inbox. I think this is symptomatic of the overall performance problems. The situation is
horrible and getting worse. GoDaddy & Microsoft need to resolve this NOW.
The problem appears to be Microsoft's. I have recently tested Outlook 2010, Windows Live Mail 2012, and Zimbra (open source) on the same Windows 7 computer accessing the same GoDaddy email account using IMAP. Outlook and WLM always have problems,
disconnects, timeouts. Zimbra exhibits none of these problems.
It seems to be related to either Microsoft's IMAP protocol timeouts, or IMAP error response handling, or inability to properly handle multiple IMAP threads (for users with lots of sync'd folders).
Also, telling users to remove mobile devices, or create fewer folders with fewer sub-folders and fewer files in each negates the primary reasons for using IMAP in the first place, so stop it. We desperately need REAL solutions! -
I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail. How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere. Thanks
Hello blu monkey,
I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below. When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it. When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)
Hi Guys -
Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
Your help is appreciated!
Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.
I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?
How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
Can anyone help me whith this?
I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
How can I solve this????
Thank u all...I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.Apple Sceptic wrote:

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad. -
I have an imac with IMAP email. have managed to partially sync up my ipad with it in that I can receive the same emails that appear on my imac but I can't send from my ipad. Any ideas?
That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

Convert Multiple Outlook Emails to Multiple PDF Files (Not Portfolio or Single PDF) for Archiving?
Hi all, I am learning how to convert emails to PDF files and there is some great functionality there!! I have not discovered how to convert multiple outlook emails into multiple PDF files (one PDF file for each email) - all at the same time (not one at a time)!! Is there a way to do this using Acrobat X?? The purpose of this is for long-term business archiving. When I search for an email in the archive, I do not want to pull up a portfolio containing 1000 emails or a 1000 page PDF file with multiple emails run together!!! I want to pull up individual emails containing my search terms. I have been searching for a way to archive emails and MS OUTLOOK .PST files are NOT the answer. I get a lot of business emails with large attachments and I do not file my emails in separate sub-folders (by client or job). I want to convert multiple emails (by date range) from my UNIVERSAL INBOX into multiple PDF files for long term storage (with each email being converted into its own, separate PDF file and named with the same name as the "Re: line" of the email). This has been a HUGE problem for me....and Acrobat is sooooo close to the solution for me. Can anyone help?? If so, will attachments be converted? If not, is there a separate software program or add-in that I can buy that will do this?? I use MS Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Windows 7 64 BIT. Thanks for your help!!
I am a retired person and did'nt realize I already have a Adobe account, so you can scrap the entire information. Thanks for the trial anyway and have a great week.

TS3276 Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails and how do I stop this from happening
Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails after the initial message comes in, it keeps duplicating them. How do I fix this problem?
For the mailbox where you are receiving duplicates ...
Select the mailbox on the left of the Mail window.
From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mailbox > Rebuild
See if that helps the duplication issue.
