No directory tree on POP3 accounts vs. IMAP accounts on BB Passport

Hello,
After the setup of 4 different e-mail accounts in the BB mail client of my BB Passport I discovered that I cannot see the directory tree of the typical elements of inbox, sent files, outbox, drafts etc. if I want to look into some stored e-mails.
If I touch the headline in the mailbox of one chosen account (e. g. “Freenet”) – nothing happened. It is the same case in 3 of those 4 accounts. If I got an e-mail and I touch the “file/store” symbol I could see the above mentioned directory tree. In that case I can click on inbox and it seems that the e-mail is stored.
If I would now go back and look for former (already stored) e-mails which I couldn’t see any more in the Hub I cannot expand the tree from the account headline.
The only account which is working fine is the IMAP account of Google Mail. All others are POP3 accounts. Is there any reason that there is no directory tree displayed in POP3 accounts? Is this a bug or is this intended? At home I use outlook and I have no issues to see such a directory tree for the same account on POP3 basis.
Usually I wouldn’t work with IMAP but other mail programs like k9 (which is working fine -> sideloaded) are not implemented in the Hub-structure. That is the reason why I installed all my accounts on the BB system directly.
Is there anybody who could help me with an explanation or with a workaround to fix this issue?
Thank you in advance!
Software version: 10.3.0.908
Kind regards,
Tenonen

It is not the kind of sync I am looking for or I am expecting...
If I store an e-mail from one of my POP3 accounts starting from the Hub surface (total view of all events/inboxes) I can see that short tree of four elements (inbox, sent...). But I cannot find it if I would like to re-open my inbox of a POP3 account like I can do it with an IMAP account.
If I choose my Google Mail account from the Hub preference "google mail" and I touch the head-line of this IMAP account the tree pulls down. If I choose one of my POP3 account from the Hub preference "Freenet" and I do the same (touch the head-line of the account) no tree will be opened.
It is no problem to see all my requested things in k9 as an alternative e-mail client. But the disadvantage of k9 is that it is not embedded in the Hub-architecture.
John_Clark, maybe it is now more clear to understand my issue.
Thanks for your reply in advance.
Kind regards,
Tenonen

How to move/copy the pst POP account to IMAP account directly.

Hi,
We are using POP account for our email communication.Due to issues in POP account,we are planning to use IMAP for downloading the emails and also for synchronization with mobile devices.
Please let me know how to copy the pst file of POP account to IMAP account.
Is there any possibility available of copying /Moving PST pop account to IMAP account directly.
Your support is highly appreciated.
Regards
Pradeep.R

Hi Pradeep.R,
We cannot move an existing POP3 account directly to an IMAP account. To do this, you should first remove your current POP3 account, then add your IMAP account into Outlook client. After this, transfer your current mails, which you downloaded
via POP3 to your IMAP account.
You should contact your email service provider for the correct IMAP account settings.
To transfer your data, simply select the messages or folders in the existing .pst file, then drag and drop them into your current IMAP account.
Hope this helps.

Move folders in pop account to IMAP account in Mail

Hi all,
My wife has had her Gmail setup as a pop account in Mail for about 3 years. We would like to switch over to imap so that her iPhone and iPad and Macbook all stay synced. She has a lot of folders that she has created in Mail to store emails and we don't want to lose them.
ANy ideas?
Thanks!

Yes. The folders On My Mac will not be effected.
Only the inbox Sent and drafts. Basically starting fresh
You can save your current inbox folder to something like old-inbox folder to On My Mac
Same with sent folder. old-Sent folder.
If you try to move the Sent folder to IMAP it will resend every single email again- Don't do it !
http://www.macworld.com/article/1165600/how_to_convert_a_pop_email_account_to_im ap.html
You can google fro more information to build your confidence. Read as much as you can. Always have a good back-up encase you have to revert. You do not want to risk losing any mail in the transition.

What is my IMAP account doing?

In Mail - viewing mail activity I get "incoming mails 1 of 250+" - this is now happening on a regular basis, with the number always large. When I view Activity window it appears
there is cache activity on my IMAP account:
'TAG - IMAP account - synchronising with server
Sent - IMAP account Updating cache directory".
Apple - IMAP account updating cache directory
... and so on....
What's happening? I'm not making any updates directly on Mobile me - just on mu iMac via Mail.

Mail crashes when connecting to IMAP accounts

Hi all,
I have mail set up to check 5 different accounts. One is a POP account and 4 are IMAP accounts (2 gmail, 2 other mail providers).
Initially I had no problems at all with this setup. Mail had mirrored all 4 IMAP accounts and was downloading new messages without a problem. One day, however, something went awry and every time I took one of my Gmail accounts online, Mail would crash. I figured I'd leave that account offline and keep checking that gmail account the regular way.
This worked for a while. More recently though Mail has started crashing when any of my IMAP accounts are taken online. If I leave the 4 IMAP accounts offline and only the POP account online, it does not crash.
Here is what I've tried so far:
Repair permissions/disk.
Erase and Install Tiger (up to 10.4.11)
Moving .mbox files to the desktop and letting mail download the inboxes again (not ideal, the largest inbox is 800MB and a gmail one)
Removing the accounts and starting from scratch.
Nothing seemed to change a thing, Mail now crashes on startup if the IMAP accounts are online (if I take that Mailbox offline, Mail works fine).
I checked the crash reports (which I have been reporting to Apple like crazy, not that they seem to have noticed), and it always seems to be Thread 0 that crashes. Here are the last two crashed Thread 0s:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have no idea whether this will help or if it's even what resolved my same recent imap problems that involved primarily *GMAIL imaps*, but it seems to be helping.
First, make sure all imap accounts are dragged up to the very top of the inbox/accounts list: *imaps above pops*
(Any IMAP accounts that have multiple folders should be at the top of the imaps).
Second, go into Mail > preference > accounts > [ each imap account ] > Advanced Tab
Above the box for the Port is *_IMAP Path Prefix_:* Type in INBOX
(reminder: If it's gmail, make sure your port is 993 and Use SSL is checked.)
Hope this helps. so far this is what seems to have helped w/mine (i have other problems such as zero results in my smart mailboxes--they no longer work).
I also have a different imap account not google/gmail and I don't use INBOX in the path prefix on that one and it has always worked just fine; the problems started with gmail imaps.
i'll be interested to know if it helps anyone else.
(Note: I manually synchronize the gmail IMAP accounts because having the auto synch box checked also seems to cause problems but your experience may vary)
cheers!
now if anyone can tell me why after all these years apple has not fixed the lookupd / dns / network bugs that result in this (among other similar failures)

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

How can i change a POP3 account to an IMAP account ???

How can i change a POP3 account to an IMAP account ???

Hi,
In Outlook we can't "convert" an account from POP3 to IMAP directly. Just setup the account as IMAP and remove the POP3 one. You may need to keep a backup of the POP3 .pst if you downloaded and removed the items from the server. Once the IMAP account
is setup, move the items from the old .pst flie into the new account.
If you didn't remove the items on the server when using the POP3 account, you can choose not to keep the .pst file as long as the items are still on the server.

I have had the same issue. Rebuilding fixes it temporarily, but it comes back....Also have an issue where Mail will not download attachments automatically. They show up in grey until they are clicked...have Mail set to download all messages and their attachments, but it doesn't want to. Very frustrating. I have begun the switch to Entourage, which is unfortunate, as I like Mail more.

HT201320 I have a iPhone 5c. Wanting to set up an email account on the phone. After entering email address and password it sets up an imap account automatically, when I need to set up a pop3 account. What's happening?

Have just purchased an iPhone 5c and have been trying to set an email account on it. Under the menus I have gone in for an "Other". Having enetered the email address and password the phone automatically sets up an IMAP account and I need it to be a POP3 account - I am not being given the option. What is going wrong?

POP3 is considered obsolete. In this age of multiple mobile devices, computers, etc. POP3 creates more problems than it solves. IMAP allows for full synchronization of the entire mailbox and all folders with all client devices. If you read a message on one, it will be marked as read on all client devices. If you delete it or move it on one, the change will be reflected on all devices (and the server, of course). POP3 requires that the message store be managed manually on all devices and can sometimes prevent you from being able to retrieve the message on more than one device at all.

How to forward pop3 email account to a new imap account?

For professional reasons, i can only use a pop3 account.
For personal usage, i use two imap accounts. With these two accounts, i don't have any issue.
But the problem is with the pop3 account, because i use at least two/three computers (my pc, my laptop and my wifes laptop).
I've tried to creat a dedicated imap account and MOVEd the pop3 emails inbox to the impa inbox, but it isn't quite want i want.
How can i forward pop3 inbox email account to a imap account, so i can always have up to date pop3 emails on all computers?
Thanks.

Is the imap account with one of the free providers? something we can point you to such as [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289?hl=en Google ], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/pop-email Hotmail ]in it's many guises and [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/SLN3527.html?impressions=true Yahoo], or a personal server (corporate perhaps) where generalities are needed.

How to convert an IMAP account to POP?

I have an existing Gmail IMAP account that has long been registered with TB as IMAP.
I am not happy with the workings of IMAP and want to change (back) to POP3 - preferably without losing my TB folders and messages.
GMAIL gives instructions on how to change server settings at its end, but what it describes for the corresponding TB setting seems to apply only when creating a NEW account in TB.
So can I change my TB settings for the existing Gmail account to have a POP3-type server? If so, how?

Hi Christ1,
I know I can convert the existing account to a POP3-type in Gmail. If I do something in TB
# to preserve all my files and folders
# to change the name of the Gmail account
# to create a new POP3 account in the name of the converted Gmail account
do you think would that work?

Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
Thanks!!

stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
Good luck.

Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

Search a Directory Tree For a Directory

Hello All,
Alright, the backround first. I am working on a system for managing photos for cases. So, the top photos dir has 5 dirs represnting the years. In each of those, are months, in those are days, and in the days there are dir named for the casenumber. This may sound confussing but...Say for Case number 05-00001 which happened January 1st 2005, the photos would be in ./photos/2005/1/1/05-00001/Now I cant change the dir structure because this is how the system uploads them, but I need a program to search this dir tree when the person enters a case number and return the photos. Everything works great (from a logic standpoint) but the problem is that there are about 20,000+ cases a year and if the case is toward the end it takes FOREVER to search through them all.
What I am looking for is suggestions on how to most efficently search for these cases...
Thanks,
Matt

a particular string. I was able to read one file in
a single directory but not in any other directory.
How would I go about writing code to be able to
access all files in directory that has multiple sub
folders.
You can do that several ways.
Most likely you'll end up with some sort of recursive iteration over the directory tree.
Not hard to write, somewhat harder to prevent memory problems if you end up with a lot of data.
Also, when I started to write my program I tried to
use the DOM XML Parser to parse my html page. My
logic behind this decision was that if you look at
html code it is an xml document. But as I was
trying to run my program I noticed that I had to
convert my html document into xml format. I really
don't want to have to build my own html parser. Is
there a html parser that is included in Java. Oh my
program is just your basic text program. No
interfaces.
A VALID xhtml document is a valid XML document.
Problem is that most HTML isn't xhtml.
Another problem is that most HTML is fundamentally broken even to its own standards (which have always been based on SGML on which XML is also based).
Browsers take that into account by being extremely lax on standards compliance and effectively making up tags as they go along to fill in the missing ones in the trees they parse.
That's however not a standardised process and each browser handles it differently (and as a result most html will render differently in different browsers).
Java contains a simple HTML parser in Swing, but it's primitive and will only parse a subset of HTML 2.0.
There are almost certainly 3rd party libraries out there that can do better, both free and/or commercial.

IPhone mail inbox grey for IMAP account

I am having trouble with the main inbox folder on IMAP email accounts being greyed out on the iPhone. Greyed out meaning I cannot select the inbox and look at my mail. Only the inbox is grey, subfolders are black and I can read mail in them.
Two separate IMAP accounts worked fine in the past, with exactly the same settings & credentials. Now both exhibit the same behavior.
Yes, I've recreated the accounts from scratch on the iPhone.
Yes, I've tried using 'INBOX' in the IMAP path
Does anyone know what the grey represents in terms of an error message?
Any fixes for the this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Guys... not sure if this helps but it's worth mentioning. I'm beta testing a system at work for an upcoming change of email servers in the next 8 months or so. I have been using my 3G up until yesterday with no problems and then suddenly my inbox started being greyed out. Every once in a while when going back to the home screen then choosing mail again I might get placed into the inbox where new messages could be read or deleted. Going back out of the inbox would result in a greyed out choice. I did try removing/adding/etc the settings and even creating new profiles. All were the same. I upgraded to 2.1 this morning and same issue.
Now the only thing I did differently prior to having problems is that I accidentally created subfolders in my INBOX. I'm running UWIMAP 2007B on the backend and Perdition as the front end proxy server with a self signed SSL certificate. The mailbox format being used is MIX therefore subfolders are supported. I did remove all traces of the subfolders and the problem continued so I'm not 100% sure that was the cause, however, it is strange that I have had this mailbox configured since July 17th and no so much as a hiccup until the subfolders were created. Thunderbird or mail.app had no problems during any of this accessing my inbox and folders. It was only the iphone giving me grief. Anyway, removing the folders had no good outcome so I started searching the web. Coming across multiple posts that say use INBOX as the imap prefix folder, I decided to try that. That worked great but since my other folders were in ~/mail that caused those folders to not appear. The easy solution is to move move those out of ~/mail and under INBOX. If you are using dovecot or another server that supports subfolders this should work as the INBOX is simply a directory with dotfiles that contain the data. All of my folders are now under the INBOX and the iphone appears to be happy. My inbox is accessible and I have all of my other folders at my fingertips.
I hope this will help at least one of you out there. It's been very annoying but glad it was figured out.
Robert
