POP3 Email Folders

Is it possible to create email folders on the iPhone itself to manage email when using a POP3 email account?

OK. Then why can I edit, merge and delete folders with my PC and Outlook and not with my iPad or iPhone?
There is supposed to be an "edit" button to permit these features. From what I can find out, this feature is only available with the IMAP and not POP3. I am stuck with POP3 with my ISP.
Help if you can.

  • Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

    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.

    Check the thumbnails for exclamation marks, an indication of missing files. If you have moved images or folders using your computer operating system LR won’t know what you did and the original links will have been broken. You need to point LR to where you now keep the image(s) on your hard drive.

  • Missing Email Folders

    How do i get my email folders to appear in my email on the verizon iphone 4? The only ones I see are the inbox and trash. I tried rebooting but that didn't help. Thanks.

    "If I'm considering gmail or yahoo, how do I know if they are iMAP or Exchange? I've never heard those terms before."
    gmail offer both pop3, imap and exchange free
    you don't really need to change your current mail account just set it to auto forward all mails to the gmail account

  • Saving pop3 email to the iphone

    It is my understanding that there is no simple way to save an email on the iphone if you are using POP3 email.
    (1) If you are using IMAP, then you can set up folders on the server and that works. GMAIL and many other accounts are IMAP and so you can forward email to those accounts and then use IMAP. However, Earthlink does *not* support IMAP, only POP3. Forwarding my Earthlink email to GMAIL seems like a silly cludge to me.
    (2) If you really need to save an email, best trick I have heard is to "reply" and then "save as draft" and cancel out. This is also a cludge but should work for the email of your travel documents or other timely information that you need close at hand.
    (3) Another trick is to Copy entire text of email and paste to a note. Again, this is a cludge.
    ANY BETTER IDEAS???
    COMMENT: I will be much happier with iPhone when they pay some serious attention to business folk who need (a) to be able to save email messages locally on the iPhone for quick access; and (b) need to access the "comment" field for long calendar or contact entries (where I often take notes). Both of those features work much better in Android and Blackberry and it is disappointing that Apple does not fix......

    Forwarding email through Gmail works beautifully. I have an old Earthlink account that I still get some mail on so I have it pulled through to Gmail. Gmail neatly tags it as having come from the other account. I also have Gmail set so, if I replay, the receipient still sees it as having come from Earthlink. It's as fast as when I was getting the Earthlink email directly. It takes a couple of minutes to set up but I would hardly call it a kludge. Try it. You may find it solves your problems.
    Best of luck.

  • Recover iPhone POP3 email?

    It's a problem. An IMAP folder sync ****-up has deleted all IMAP folders on the mail server and PC. I've no way back via the server, as the ISP don't hold granular backups of the mailboxes, and the PC's backup drive has died.
    I'd given up - but then the user tells me there's still email folders showing on his iPhone! It seems he's managed to configure the iPhone's email as POP3, not IMAP.
    So the question is:
    How do I recover the emails (and ideally attachments) from the POP3 account on his iPhone, and get them back into Outlook?
    Ideas please????
    Thanks!
    AndyK

    You're welcome.
    Email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iTunes sync process and not included with the iPhone's backup either.
    Unless there is a 3rd party utility that provides for transferring the messages and attachments from the iPhone to your computer in a format that can be imported by or transferred to an email client on your computer, forwarding the email is the only option.

  • LG Ally - deleting pop3 emails from trash folder

    I have three pop3 email accounts set up on my LG Ally. All work great - however, deleting the all the emails in the trash folder is cumbersome. Is there a way to delete all the emails in the "trash folder" at one?  I can only seem to delete them by tapping each email individually and then tapping delete. This is a really slow process.
    Also, is there a way to adjust my pop3 email settings so that the trash folder is deleted automatically every so often?
    Thank you!

    There is not a delete all option to delete all the emails at once for  the default email application.   You also can not set a schedule to delete the trash folder.   There are other email applications with more customization options on the Android Market Place.  

  • Facebook notifications while using seperate email folders?

    I don't use the primary message folder because I like my emails seperate. When I get a Facebook notification via email, it would typically be intercepted by the FB app and would go to the location on the FB app (Like messages or notifications). This doesn't happen anymore when I hid the primary message folder and only used the individual email folders. Is there any way to fix this? It annoys the fact that I can't just quickly click on the folder and see what's up. Now I have to go to the Facebook app itself and look there.
    Thanks!

  • Move email folders from one account to another . Both on Thunderbird

    We have our email email on Thunderbird client at one domain name. We are switching the domain name (or rather shortening it) . How do I move the 500+ email folders to new domain without manual copy and paste?

    Some possible options in no particular order:
    (1) Copy the folders to a SUB Thumb Drive.
    (2) Use Dropbox
    (3) If your Macs are compatible with AirDrop see list:
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    Activate AirDrop on both Macs to Move/Copy your Mail Folders.

  • Is there a workaround app for syncing shared POP3 email?

    Hello,
    I wonder if a lot of families have this problem. I have a POP3 email ,verizon.net, that is our family email shared between my wife and I. I am tired of deleting the same emails from my iPad and my iPhone over and over so I am looking to find a way to set it up like this:
    verizon.net email goes to my wife's devices and my devices
    when I delete an email, it deletes from all of my devices and none of hers (i have an iPad, macbook, and iPhone)
    when she deletes an email it deletes from all of hers and none of mine. (she has an iPhone and macbook)
    So its kind of like a POP3 server splitting to two separate IMAP servers;  my wife's and mine.
    I have tried automatic forwarding on verizon's end but I can only forward to one address and it causes issues with return addresses not matching when I reply so emails get identified as spam more often. In addition, when I do forward email automatically on verizon's server side (not on the client) it is no longer delivered to the original email account.
    We want to avoid changing email addresses and verizon only offers POP3.
    Any ideas everyone?

    Nope, its a POP server acting like a pop server where the settings on each device have it so email is left on the server and only deleted from the devices.
    This means all devices can download the email from the server, but its never really removed from the server, only from the devices upon deletion, unless one of the devices is set to have it deleted from the server when its deleted from the device. 
    Basically, what you want is not possible, as you want an IMAP functionality on only specific devices. IMAP is designed to sync actions across all devices using the account.  Because basically what happens is actions take place on the server, and then trickle down to the devices.
    On POP accounts its the opposite. Actions take place on the Devices and then if configured as such may move up to the server.

    In the source list click devices (so far so good) then click the entry for your iphone or ipod.  that doesn't exist. HELP asap
    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.
