"Recent messages" on mail folders are not "recent"

I have just got a 3Gs, and am using it with a MobileMe account. I have a number of subfolders for archived messages in my mail account, and I have set the iPhone to download the most recent 50 messages in those folders. However, the messages that it pulls off the server seem almost random. For example, in one mail box, the 50 most recent messages on the server would go back only to 22 June 2009, but in the folder on my iPhone, the first message is 18 June (it has ignored all the messages between 18 June and today, which is over 60), and it goes through messages from 2008, 2007 right back to 2004, and even 2001 choosing random messages from the whole folder.
I have deleted the MobileMe account and added again - same problem.
I really need the 50 (or 100 or 200) MOST RECENT messages from the IMAP server, and I would appreciate some suggestions as to what's going on here.
Thanks and regards,
Simon

One further point - I have experimented with a standard IMAP account (not MobileMe), and the "recent messages" list correctly shows the 25/50 etc NEWEST messages in each folder...

Messages filed into folders are not removed from message folder

I have a client that has been able to file messages into his folders in the past and then the message would then be removed from the messages view. This would be the expected behavior. Recently he tried to file messages into a folder and then the message turns into a double envelope indicating that the message has been filed but it does not get removed from the view. Any clues to why this might happen?

Sounds like the Hide Filed Messages is set to No. Have them go into Messages | Options | General Options and set the Hide Filed Messages to Yes

Some iCloud mail folders are not appearing in Outlook 2010.

Some of my iCloud folders are no longer appearing in Outlook 2010 using Windows 7. I have the same identical missing folders on two different PCs. This is a fairly recent problem; I don't believe I had this problem until the last week or so. I would appreciate some help fixing this problem.

I found the answer shortly after posing the question. For whatever reason, I was no longer subscribed to the missing folders. I went to the View page, clicked on IMAP folders, subscribed to the folders and all is well.

Small annoying problem - numbers next to mail folders are not centered

There is a small oval, which contains the number of unread messages next to each mail folder. These are not lined up in the center of the oval as they are on my laptop. Anyone know how to fix this?

This could be a font issue. Take a look at the following article:

Mail folders are not visible

When I open one of my mail folders and then return to the mailboxes list, the inbox is not visible. After advice I swiped the mail page from the screen and then reselected the mail programme. The inbox was then visible as normal. The situation repeats itself every time I open a folder and try to return to the inbox. It has now resulted in ny inbox emptying completely

I have no clue how many were sold in the channel, and I have seen no claims about numbers yet from either Apple or at&t.
I have no iPhone and have not tried to activate one, so I have no actual personal experience with the issues reported. Most appear to be oversights, primarily on the part of at&t, I think. The long activations periods due to existing Cingular account conversions, the ZIP code problems and the the credit holds all seem to be primarily a problem on their end. As some have pointed out, it doesn't appear that this system was properly tested in advance of activation.
I do like the concept of iTunes activation: it's just unfortunate that so many experienced problems with it.

Mail account folders are not synchronized

Mail account folders are not synchronized. How do I do this?

Ok Istart understing.
There is an issue with icloud Drive, the part called "mail".
I disabled that part and the rules created by experiment were gone.
So I restored my synced rules and smart folders plist in the V2 Maildata folder and all were like before.
So I tried to reactivate the iclodudrive mail part and the problem was again there. The smart folders where gone again and the rules were now mixed with the ones created by experiment.
So I deactivate icloud mail option on my iphone and my ipad, and redone the restore the synched rules and smart folder.
After that all seems to be fine.
Now I have even reactivated the mail icloud option on iphone and ipad.
I suppose is definitely a bug.
I remember that my mac popped up some strange message saying there was a problem with icloud drive.
I will notice if this happen again to see into the log what is telling for real as I suppose that is the cause that messes up my email.

Time Machine setup message, some FileVault folders will not be backed up?

I want to set up my Time Machine for the first time on a Mac Pro running Lion. However, a Time Machine message says some folders will not be backed up because FileVault is turned on:
"When using FileVault, you cannot restore individual files in your home directory via the Time Machine browser. However, you can restore all files and folders by using the Restore System from Backup feature of the Mac OS X Installer. Important: Time Machine will perform backups only when you are logged out of your FileVault-protected account."

You're using the "legacy" (pre-Lion) version of FileVault (LFV). LFV is obsolete and should not be used under OS X 10.7 or later.
When LFV is active, your home folder is only backed up by Time Machine when you log out. If you use Time Machine and haven't logged out recently, do that now so the backups can be updated. If you use third-party backup software, the backups may or may not be up to date, depending on how the software works.
After backing up, follow the instructions on this support page under the heading "Migrating a Legacy FileVault home folder from an earlier version of OS X." You might get an alert that there isn't enough disk space to deactivate LFV. If so, see this support page.

Can someone help me? I keep getting a rainbow wheel and a message that says webpages are not responding.
Thanks,

All web pages or specific web pages? Provide an example link.
Does any other internet-related utilities work for you, e.g., mail?
Do you have a little green dot in you Network preferences next to Ethernet or Airport, whichever one you are using?

Mail aliases are not anonymous.

I was very disappointed to find out that mail aliases are not anonymous. I sent email while on my iPad from an alias that was intended to be anonymous, and found that my real name appeared on it instead of the nickname that I set when creating the alias.
I'm really annoyed by this, and I'm glad that I only used the alias for talking to an online friend.

Allan,
The Bcc'ed email addresses are supposed to (in the spec) be stripped off by the destination SMTP server. There is a possibility that the destination SMTP server is misconfigured and doesn't strip off the BCC, but the SMTP specification says that they're to be stripped off.
http://www.livinginternet.com/e/ea_bcc.htm
Because of this minor loophole, some SMTP servers send an individual message for each BCC'ed address, thereby removing the BCC list from the outgoing email at the source, not expecting the destination SMTP server to do it. The spec allows for this, and almost even recommends it.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt (search for BCC)
And yes, I'm sure about this.

Check on your server to see what maiul options are selected. If your mail account is set to "download all attachments automatically", that may be an option you want to de-select.

Message FZ626 -Payment orders are not defined for extended withholding tax

Hi Gurus,
Would you please help me with the message below:
Message FZ626 -Payment orders are not defined for extended withholding tax
In my company payment orders are created in F110 for accounts payable, as we use another ERP system (Baan) to perform the local accounts payments, and now I've just activated Extended withholding tax functionality With accumulation (necessary in Brazil) but I get this error.
Is it not possible to user payment order with extended withholding tax + accumulation? I find it hard to believe...
I've tried to unflag the payment order only for the payment method I'm using in FBZP t.code, but then no payment order were created but instead a payment document were posted with the withholding tax accumulation, but this is not the way we are working, and nothing is sent to Baan
any help is welcome !
TREAD LOCKED SINCE IT IS DUPLICATED FROM THREAD payment order are not defined for extended withholding tax

Hi,
On the analysis, the system expects an entry in the T059Q table with
code as XX.
The reason being in the extended withholding tax we use multiple
witholding tax codes and these entries are stored in the table
with_item. And in BSEG we populate the field withholding tax code i.e.
BSEG-QSSKZ with the value 'XX'. In classical withholding tax we used to
store the code directly which is not possible with Extended withholding
tax.
As the field BSEG-QSSKZ refers to the values in the table T059Q-QSSKZ
the entry 'XX" needed in this table for the corresponding country of the
company code to maintain the correct relationship and consistent
database information.
Hence for the statistical purpose and for the internal calculations we
need an entry in the table T059Q. Could you please maintain this code
i.e. 'XX' also in the table T059Q in a test system? Then retest your issue.
This should resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa.

When I select a page to bookmark all my bookmark folders are not shown so that I can enter the page in that bookmark folder.

I have a list of bookmark folders. When I want to bookmark a page I select "bookmark this page" but not all of my folders are shown. If the folder is not shown I can not get it to be filed in that bookmark folder. How can I get all of my bookmark folders to be shown. When I go to show "all bookmarks" and select "bookmarks menu" all are shown. I am using firefox 8.0.
I have updated to firefox 8.0.1, did not change the problem. When I show all bookmarks I have 11 folders but when I try to bookmark a page only 5 folders are shown not all 11, why?

The problem is that not all of my bookmark folders are shown when I want to bookmark a page. They are shown when I "show all bookmarks" Ctrl+Shift+B but not when I want to bookmark a page. The article how to use bookmarks does not solve my problem. The folders are not shown so I can not use them. Why?

TS3276 When i receive a message in Mail it does not appear in my inbox

When i revieve a message in mail it does not appear in my in box until i click away from the in box by going into sent mail and then returning to the in box, this has only started happening since i have moved onto Maveric OS, any ideas anyone?

I found the answer on another forum by '''Tom Wijsman''':
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor.
Find the Name mail.pop3.deleteFromServerOnMove
Set it to True.
True: Delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you move or delete the message.
False(default): Only delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you delete the message.
That's it, restart Thunderbird. You need to press 'Get Mail' everytime you want to sync with the email server, in order for you to make sure messages in the application is in sync with the email server.
The following should be emphasized to realize the sync with the server. You will not see your server message disappear upon the initial Get Mail download (new messages downloaded). After you process your Inbox in Thunderbird by deleting/moving a new message, then do another Get Mail which will delete the new messages previously downloaded on the server (put in sync).
Note: If you have older messages in your Thunderbird Inbox, they will not be deleted from Server. Delete them manually from server. From then on, any new messages you download, then process (delete/move), and then do the sync by doing Get Mail again WILL be deleted.
