Reading Sent mail and mail stored in folders from "On My Mac" on my ipad

On my MBP, I use Mail for both personal mail and business mail. I have two accounts set up in Mail. Mobile Me for personal mail (imap) and a pop3 account for my business mail. The Sent folder has copies of mail sent from both accounts. For my business mail I have a number of folders ("Mailboxes") set up that I move my inbox mail to when I want to save a particular email (I like to keep my inbox clean). These folders are stored under "On My Mac" on my MBP. I understand from reading previous posts that I cannot create folders on the ipad unless I create them on my MBP using my imap mobile me account, which I am not going to do for business. Is there any way for me to be able to have access to (i.e., read them from the Mail program on the ipad) the emails and their attachments that I currently have in my Sent folders and in the "On My Mac" folders?
Alternately, is there a way to copy all those emails and keep them synced with another app that would let me access them from the ipad? So much of my detail info for my ongoing business is on emails and not just word, excel, pwrpoint files (those I can upload and keep in sync with mobile me or Dropbox and access them when I need them) that being able to truly leave my MBP home for several days and only use the ipad is now questionable.
Thanks

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

  • It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Further notes (different user, same problem):
    * This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
    * This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
    * This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
    * Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

  • HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

    Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

    We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
    I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
    Look at this app for the videos.

  • I purchased my iPad and the apple care insurance from apples website, i received my iPad but didn't receive my apple care papers, should I have received any paperwork for that?

    I purchased my iPad and the apple care insurance from apples website, I received my iPad but didn't receive my apple care papers, should I have received any paperwork for that?

    When purchased together, AppleCare is automatically activated and applied to your device, so no proof or registration is usually required. Apple usually sends documentation of coverage after a few days, though. If you didn't receive the documentation, it may have been lost in the mail. You can confirm coverage here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If that doesn't show the correct coverage (the expiration should be two years from your date of purchase) and it's been at least a couple of weeks since you purchased, call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare Plan Administration, and explain the mistake to them.
    Regards.

  • Can you move mail folders from an old .Mac account to a new .Mac account?

    I hope someone can help since even the Mac Genius at the Apple Store nor Applecare seem to know.
    Due to massive spam to my .Mac account & it's alias accounts I opened a new .Mac account before my old account died. However, without any answers my old account died last night. Which probably doesn't help.
    1. Is there a way to move my mail folders in 'mail app' from my old .Mac account over to the new .Mac account?
    2. In 'mail app' > preferences > add account > the pop-up box for the new account automatically shows my old .Mac account information, full name, description, user name. But, if I replace that information with my new .Mac account name and info no one can tell me if that automatically delete any mail folders/information from the old account.
    Basically I'm lost because no one seems to understand how the system works, not even the Mac Genius.
    Any ideas?

    You're welcome.
    Second, because I couldn't get any real answers somehow last night I managed to drag & drop my 'mail app' mail folders onto my desktop. At least I have it there, LOL.
    What do you mean by Mail.app mail folders? There is a single Mail folder which contains all Mail.app data (account folders, mailboxes, rules, junk mail learned settings, etc.) except for the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and is stored in your Preferences folder.
    Did you place a copy of the entire Mail folder located at Home > Library > Mail on the Desktop?
    The question is can that mail folder from the desktop be placed into mail with the new .Mac account? Some of the old folders were from "on my mac" and some with .Mac & the server so not really sure what moved to the desktop. But, at least it's something.
    The answer to this question is no. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are stored locally on the hard drive and are not associated with any account. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes are are not deleted when deleting an account or changing existing account information with Mail.
    When creating an account with Mail, an account named folder is created within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account. The associated account mailboxes are located within the account named folder with the exception of locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account. Locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes. This would be the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes if these mailboxes are not stored on the server which is available under the Mailboxes Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    Since a .Mac type account is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, you have the option to store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages locally on the hard drive with Mail for the account preferences.
    Were you accessing your old .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Mail and if so, what were/are your settings under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages - storing these messages on the server or locally on the hard drive?
    Since a .Mac type account with Mail is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox remain on the server and since Apple/.Mac has now cancelled this account, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server have been deleted.
    When you open the 'mail app' >file>add account> the pop-up box automatically has the information in there from the expired .Mac account.
    Is your old .Mac account information still available at System Preferences > .Mac under the Account tab?
    If so, this is where the Mail.app is getting the old .Mac account information which needs to be changed to your new .Mac account information.
    If you placed a copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop for backup purposes, you can can create your new .Mac account with Mail which should not change or affect your existing .Mac account with Mail but you cannot "merge" account named folders and mailboxes between two accounts.
    You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the old account's Sent mailbox if you did not store Sent messages on the server for your old .Mac account preferences.

  • AOL mail and mail

    I have used aol mail for 15 years, and tried to use mail in OSX , but I got the message that my mail server was not correct for OSX mail. My wife wants to. Keep aol mail, so I would like to be able to switch back. And forth?  How do I change the settings?

    I have no idea what AOL Cheshire is but the only way you can access an AOL account with an email client such as the Mail.app is via an IMAP account.
    http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/
    The default settings when creating an IMAP account with Mail include storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server. An IMAP account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off but you can change the settings for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences to store these message categories locally on the hard drive instead of on the server.
    With the Mail.app, each account's Inbox mailbox is located under inbox regardless the account type so this is normal.
    If you change storing Drafts on the hard drive instead of on the server, the account's Drafts mailbox will be located under Drafts in the mailboxes drawer but will not be created automatically by Mail when doing so until you compose a message with the account or save a newly composed message as a Draft.
    The same applies to Sent, Trash and Junk.
    You can't delete the server stored Voicemail mailbox that is created automatically by AOL nor the other server stored mailboxes created automatically by AOL under your AOL account's icon in the mailboxes drawer.

  • Problems transferring mail folders from eMac to Mac Mini

    Okay, so here’s the problem.
    I just upgraded my boss - well, her computer, anyway - from an eMac running 10.2.8 to a Mini running 10.4.6. I am now having problems transferring mailboxes from the old computer to the new one. She is one of those people who have a couple of thousand messages in fifteen different mailboxes she’s created, so I really need to get them across to the new machine.
    Here’s what happens when I try (both machines are ethernetted together)(if that’s a word). I open Mail (2.0.8) on the Mini, and go to ‘File’, then ‘Import Mailboxes’ (Mail on the old machine, if it matters, is 1.2.3). If I select ‘Mail for Mac OS X’, then ‘Continue’, I get the box asking for location. Select the eMac, go to ‘Users’, select the User’s folder, then ‘Library’, ‘Mail’, ‘Mailboxes’.
    If I click on ‘Choose’ then, I get all of the mailboxes under ‘Items to Import’ as (for example) ‘inbox.mbox’. Click on ‘Continue’, and get a progress bar stating it is importing. It then tells me I can find them in the folder named ‘Import’ in the main Mail window. However, when I go to the ‘Import’ folder there are only three of the mailboxes, and they are all empty. No, I can’t figure out why just those three, since all of the boxes have mail in them. If I choose an individual mailbox folder I get the ‘No Valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found’ message. It will not allow me to choose the individual *.mbox files.
    Okay, so if I follow the above path to the ‘Import Mailboxes’ dialog box, then select ‘Other’, and in the import box select ‘Mailboxes’ at the same location as above, I get one item to import, named ‘mbox’. Click on ‘Continue’, I get the progress bar, then the same message about the ‘Import’ folder.
    But, once again, if I click on the ‘mbox’ folder under Imports it’s empty.
    So I’m currently stuck. I could forward the old messages back to the same address, but frankly I consider that to be a silly enough idea that it might have been suggested by Microsoft. Does anyone have any ideas where I can go from here?
    I apologize for the long windedness, but I’ve done tech support via email, and I personally always hated info-light messages like “My email keeps crashing. Why?” Please let me know if any of you need to know anything else. Thanks!
    Mac Mini 1.5 Intel Core Solo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   I am currently whistling "On the Sunny Side of the Street"

    "There are a couple of things you seem to be missing that might or might not have a bearing on your problems."
    I'm not at all surprised. I've been missing things most of my life
    "First, ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes is not the only place where mail is stored. You may want to also import the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver account folders."
    Okay, that one sounds good... unfortunately, there's no joy so far. I've tried it importing as Mac OSX Mail. If I select the [email protected] folder, I get a checkbox for each of the folders, then a brief progress bar when I click 'Continue'. There is then only one of the folders I tried to import under the 'Import' folder, and it again appears to be empty. If I try selecting any of the individual mailboxes I get the 'No Valid Mail for Mac OSX Found' message.
    I get a bit further using 'Other', but not a lot. Selecting the POP folder gives me two of the mailboxes (one labeled simply 'mbox') and 'Continue' another brief progress bar... but again empty mailboxes. Selecting the individual mailboxes give the same result.
    "Second, when importing as Other, Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mbox files to be imported. Hence, when choosing that option, you may want to try importing the *.mbox folders one at a time, rather than the entire ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder at once."
    I was pretty certain I tried that, but I just went back and checked again to make certain. As above, I get a brief progress bar - then an empty, meaningless, nihilistic folder. Insert pseudo-intellectual 'staring into the abyss' line here.
    I do have another thing I'm planning on trying. I was told I might be able to get better results if I booted the eMac into 'Firewire' mode so the Mini would just see it as a hard drive. I'll let you know if I get any results from that.
    Thanks for your suggestions. Hopefully, this info will provide enough clues for you to facepalm and say "Of course! The obvious answer is..." And then fill in the ellipse, of course.
    Those will work, or they won't. Either way, though, I appreciate your taking the time to think about this.

  • How to disable syncing between .Mac mail and Mail.app?

    Howdy everyone,
    I'm trying to get my wife's 'new' (aka hand-me-down) 12" PowerBook set up the way she likes it. She uses .Mac Mail, and mostly uses the webmail portion, rather than the Mail.app. Anyway, she's presented me with a question that's stumped me - she wants it set up so that when she deletes a message from .Mac webmail, it stays in her Mail.app Inbox, and vice-versa. I guess you could say that she wants Mail.app to retrieve the messages from .Mac, but doesn't want their mailboxes synced.
    Any ideas? I'd fiddled with the settings but can't make it work that way. I have a strong feeling that its right in front of me, but I just can't see it...
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks,
    Huxley

    A .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way.
    Personal preference but FYI, webmail access is primarily designed when away from your computer and email client needing to access your email account when using a computer with internet access that is not your own.
    For what your wife wants, she needs to access her .Mac account as a POP type account with the Mail.app. You can access a .Mac account as a .Mac, IMAP or POP type account with the Mail.app and as an IMAP or POP type account with other email clients.
    This will require deleting and recreating the account in Mail selecting POP as the account type when the account is recreated.
    All messages that remain on the server will not be affected by this but any messages sent by the account with the Mail.app that are not stored on the server will be deleted when deleting the account in Mail.
    If there are any messages in the account's Sent mailbox that need to be saved, transfer all messages from the account's Sent mailbox to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox before deleting and re-creating the account.
    After re-creating the account in Mail as a POP type account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences is a setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded. This should not be selected so no messages will be removed/deleted from the server when downloaded by Mail.
    Deleting a message from the server via webmail access for the account will have no effect on messages already downloaded from the server by Mail.

  • How do I remove mail folders from "On My Mac?"

    Hi
    I believe my problem is related to Mavericks.  10.9.2.  Using Apple Mail and a Gmail account.
    I am repeatedly being asked to re enter a password for a Gmail account, so I deleted the Gmail account on all Apple devices (at least I think I did).
    So I continue to be hassled for a password to this Gmail account when I open Mail, even though the Gmail account does not appear in my System Settings or under Accounts in Mail.
    I do see folders for this same Gmail account in Mail, under the heading "On My Mac."
    Do I need to delete these folders as well?  If so, how?
    Ultimately I would like to reinstall the Gmail account.  But I really believe I need to compeltely delete it from my Mac, so Mail will accept the stored password.  Tell me if I am wrong.
    Thanks
    AS

    To delete, select it, and then go to Mail/Mailbox/Delete Mailbox.
    Try deleting your Gmail password from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Then run Keychain First Aid and try resetting the original keychain.

  • Removing Mail folders from "On My Mac" section Apple Mail 5.3 0n 10.7.5

    Hello,
    I typically move read mail out of my Inbox to various folders I have created on the "On My Mac" section of the side in Apple Mail 5.3 running on 10.7.5.
    I have folders like these dating back to 2009!!!
    I recently decided that after archiving the messages as PDFs, I could reduce my Library > Mail folder size.
    I deleted 5 folders total.  They no longer appear in the "On My Mac" section even after restarting the computer.
    I happened to take a look at my Users/xxx/Library/Mail folder and noticed that three of the five folders I deleted are still listed in the Mail folder but now report a size of 0 bytes.  (If it makes a difference, my folders in the On My Mac section are nested but only two layers deep at most)
    Did I make an error at some point when deleting the mailboxes that resulted in three of them still appearing in the Mail folder as 0 bytes???
    Is it safe to manually delete the three .mbox files in the Mail folder that no longer appear in the sidebar and report a size of 0 bytes??
    Thanks
    John

    Hey Kappy,
    I don't think I communicated this properly in my original post.
    The 5 mailboxes I deleted from the "On My Mac" section of the sidebar where in fact deleted by Ctrl-clicking each one and selecting Delete.
    After closing Mail, I took a look in the Mail folder an found that 2 of the 5 were in fact totally gone but the remaining three are still listed but now empty.
    I then opened and closed Mail a couple of times and restarted my computer once and they were still present.
    After you last message, I moved the 3 empty .mbox files out of the Mail folder to a temp location and since then after several times opening and closing Mail and 2 computer restarts they have NOT returned and Mail seem to continue to function and all of the other mailboxes in the On My Mac section are still present and populated.
    I was just curious why after deleting 5 mailboxes, only two were completely removed and the other three were only emptied.
    Thanks for you assistance by the way . . .
    John

  • READING SENT EMAIL AND RETRIEVING DRAFTS

    Hello; another newby here........
    I live in the US, have done so for 3 years, and have never had a problem with BT Yahoo Email. Thats all I use BT for. Obviously my BB provider is NOT BT, it is a local company, but this is clearly not a BB issue. I pay BT a very small monthly subscription for email service.
    Using my laptop, I am receiving emails as normal. I can send emails as normal. And my corrrespondents are receiving them. But I cannot open any emails in my sent box. I also cannot retrieve half written draft emails. I can see my sent emails on my smart phone. So, something has gone wrong in my laptops settings. I have not consciously made any changes to my laptop. When I try to open emails from my sent box, a message appears on the right in a box under the heading ADBVERTISMENT and it reads exactly this:
    document write ("smart tag Error: malformed URL - st_rejected_query");
    Can anybody offer any advise as to what may have happened? Like so many on here, I am not PC savvy, so it may be glaringly obvious. Thanks in advance for your tips.
    Peter

    Its one of a number of Yahoo issues and there is very little BT Retail ISP can do about it.
    As your ISP is not BT, all you can do is complain to Yahoo directly.
    You may get some idea of the outstanding problems if you read some of the forum messages.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Comcast Mail and Mail program

    I just changed over to Comcast and updated added my accounts to the mail program. I added 5 accounts from Comcast. All work fine except for one. The settings are all EXACTLY the same for each account. However, I cannot send to (nor receive from...) the one problem account within the mail Apple mail program. I can, however, send and receive from the Comcast web based mail.
    The error I get is:
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<" Earthlink accounts set up in the mail program. Maybe it's just too many mailboxes (13) altogether?
    I would appreciate any help!!
    Thanks.

    In an effort to prevent spam, most internet providers will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you use them to connect to the internet. Make sure your SMTP server is either mail.comcast.net or smtp.comcast.net depending on what your local Comcast website says for setting up any e-mail client like Outlook or Eudora in its help. Delete all other outgoing mail server settings in your preferences.
    You don't have to change your incoming server settings though.
