Reorder AOL Mail folders?

Is there a way to reorganize the AOL mail folders on the iPad?
I have a client that has reorganized his folders through webmail and in Mail.app, but is not seeing the same folder order in the iOS Mail's view.
The client says that he could re-order these folders in the past, but is not seeing that order after a maintenance window at AOL.  AOL is denying that they changed anything in the maintenance window, but the timing is uncanny.
Thanks.

I know nothing abou the ability to change the order of the folders in webmail or in the Mail app on a Mac - but I don't see any way to change the order of the folders on the iPad.
You can add folders/mailboxes if the AOL account is configured as an IMAP account - and place the new folder inside of another folder - if that counts as reorganizing.

  • AOL Mail "My Folders" problem

    If while on my iPhone I move an email from my inbox to one of my saved folders (what AOL calls "My Folders") it will stay there, as expected.  If however, while on AOL's website I move an email from the inbox to a saved folder, it will NOT show up on my iPhone.  Additionally, if I take an email that was successfully moved while on the iPhone, and move it to a different folder while on AOL's website, that email will now be gone from the iPhone...even if on the website I move the email back to the first saved folder.  In other words, if while on the website I move an email, it will no longer show up on my iPhone.  I can VERY briefly see the typical message on the iPhone that says "download xxx emails" but then it quickly goes away. This is a new problem (moving email in the past on either device had always synced correctly) and it started about two days ago.

    Yeah, no problem guys. Glad it helped.
    jpflorida : when you are in safari on a browser page you should notice a grey horizontal bar across the very bottom of the touch screen.  There are five symbols on this bar, equidistant, and usually in white. From left to right they are as follows: left arrowhead (back), right arrowhead (forward), "+" (the one we are using in this instance which allows you to add to home screen or to bookmark or to mail link), an open-paged book symbol (which brings you to bookmarks you have added in the past), and a double square (which you would use to open a new browser page).
    midasmagoo : don't give up on AOL yet.  I also have had my AOL account for what seems like forever (over 15 years?) and still like the format better than any of the others , including my g-mail account.  Plus the nostalgia, and the "You've got mail !" welcome (which, once upon a time, used to excite me with the prospect of having an e-mail to read .... now I take a deep breath and hope it's less than 50 per day ), and the quizzical look I get when I tell people my address is AOL ("that's still around?").  Sure I've been frustrated with it from time to time (the software has had so many issues over the years).  But I still think it's the best .
    I've been checking my mail via the icon since yesterday and it's ok.
    Couple of observations... 
    1. when you are adding to home screen, make sure you are on the page you wish the icon to take you to from then on (for me it is the  "folders" screen in AOL mail.  This is the one most similar to what we're all used to, I think.)
    But if you prefer that it always takes you to "new mail", you can certainly do that instead   --- just be on that screen when you utilize the "+"
    2. From time to time, I clean out my cache, history and cookies. 
    Fyi: after doing this, you will not automatically access your mail via the icon. Instead , it will take you to the AOL "sign in" screen.  At this point, entering screen name and password and checking the "remember me" box will get you back to easy access via the icon (until next time you decide to clean your browser, that is)
    3. I was able to compose new e-mails by entering the "drafts" folder.
    Haven't looked further into the original problem --  maybe next week if I have time. Hopefully it'll magically fix itself before then or someone will post a solution soon for us.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 does not load AOL mail - it logs in ok but does not load

    I updated Firefox to the latest version and it will not load my AOL eMails.
    I can however log into my AOL account and it shows the Welcome message and number of unread mail and also shows the folders etc. including Spam folder but it does not load the eMail or will not allow me to open any eMails.- Just shows blank.
    BTW I can access my AOL mail Box with Internet Explorer.

    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mail/AOL Mail Saved Message Nightmare

    I set my boss up to use AOL's imap server to send and receive email through osx's mail application. He dragged all of his important messages to the saved folder. What happened next was strange. Although the folder is on the mac itself, the messages uploaded to somewhere, leaving the folder empty. I went on his regular account and checked the saved messages box and it was empty. AOL has no idea where they went if they are not in the saved folder on their ACS. I checked the computer itself and could not locate any of the mails. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
    G4Laptop   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Assorted tidbits that may or may not be of use to those following this thread:
    1. As of August 5, I was still able to save whatever emails I wanted to select from any Mail mailbox to the AOL "Saved" mailbox with no errors or disappearance problems of any kind whatsoever.
    2. As of approximately one month ago, I could with Mail.app also move any email I wanted from the AOL IMAP inbox to the AOL "Spam" mailbox. This is what some official AOL help documents indicate is the equivalent to using the AOL client app "Report Spam" button, so I assume this is, or at least was previously, officially supported with IMAP access to AOL email as the approved way to report spam when not using AOL client or web mail access.
    2.a. At some point in the last ten days or so, I noticed this 'report spam' equivalent was not working properly with Mail.app. I don't know the exact date this started happening since I don't often have to use the feature, but what I do know is that as of ~ July 28, I started getting error messages similar to the ones we now see for moving messages to "Saved." So far, the error messages are all that happens with this -- IOW, there is no disappearance problem, only a refusal to accept any email into the "Spam" server folder via Mail.app.
    3. In Mail.app, using the menu "Copy to..." option for attempts to move messages into the affected AOL-based folders works very much the same as with drag & drop, except the existing copy is never deleted from the source mailbox, so I suggest this is a better way to test for the problem than by risking any messages you might want to save.
    3.a. Using the copy option may initially look like it succeeds, even when it doesn't. In my case, messages copied to "Saved" sometimes did appear there in Mail's view even after opening the "Saved" mailbox view, which I assume from Mail's Activity window does cause some small amount of syncing. However, within 10 seconds to about a minute, the newly copied message still disappears, which I assume is due to some server-side problem a 'full' sync shows.
    4. Until AOL sorts out all the details of its "new" incarnation, It is probably best not to count on saving anything to its servers, even with the web mail interface.

  • Reorganizing mail folders, change order?

    In my mail (Apple's Mail program) I have 21 folders.some of these have sub folders. When nali is open I can al least close folders to "hide" the the sub folders, but ON my iPhone every folder hierarchy is open.
    SO when I want to file an email from my phone, to for example my "Work" folder, I have to "Scroll" down to "Work" I have to go past 30 or more other folders. in the process, invariably while scrolling (requires touch screen) one of the folders (the subfolders stick out to the right in the screen) gets touched and the
    mail goes in the wrong folder (Unless I am Very careful). In my mail with my computer open I can reorder the folders s I could put the 4 folders that 90% of my mail needs to be filed in, at the top, I think default is alphabetical but you can rearrange by dragging. And since everything syncs up I just figured my other computers would change accordingly and then the iphone, but this does not occur, the other .mac computers dont make that change and so neither does the iPhone.
    So is there any way I can change the order of the mail folders in iPhone or at least close the subfolders?
    roger

    There still is no way to do this, even in OS6.  My work-around is to simply put a number before the folder names.  1_  2_  3_ etc.  That way the OS will arrange folders numerically in the determined order you specify.

  • AOL Mail on the Web Imports

    Can I get my AOL Mail on the Web address book and Saved E-mail Folders onto my hard drive and then into my Mac Mail? I have downloaded the latest version of AOL for Mac, but none of my saved e-mail folders or address book transferred. None of these items transferred when I set up my Mac Mail to add my AOL account either. So, my question is: how can I do this -- I assume I need to somehow import these items to the hard drive -- either to my downloaded AOL software for Mac or to another location and then import the info into Mac Mail, but I'm stumped. I did tons of Google, Mac, and AOL searches and cannot figure out how to get anything off AOL Mail on the Web and onto my Mac.
    Thank you!

    hey richardray,
    welcome to the forums.
    for this, i suggest getting in contact with AOL as this is a webmail service provided by them.
    i would also suggest that you try other webmail providers such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc and see if it works.
    at the same time , try using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera

  • Problem with AOL mail being recognized in sent mail using Apple Mail

    Hi!
    In Apple Mail, when I click on the Sent Mail icon, I see the two accounts that I use (one is a POP-gmail, and one is an IMAP-berkeley.edu), but not AOL mail. Its sent files go into this folder that is not included.
    Also, AOL mail and calmail (the berkeley.edu mail) have these two icons under the inbox and the sent mail that are black circles with an @ sign in the middle, when clicked on they have several folders about contacts, sent mail... but it is very annoying to have them.
    I would like for all sent mail to be included in the sent mail tab, and for these two @ sign tabs to be removed.
    Thank you so much for the help!

    also...
    is there a way to constantly synchronize my gmail account to the gmail.com inbox... what i mean is: whenever I read a message sent to the gmail inbox on Apple Mail and delete that message, then when I sign on gmail.com the message is no longer there
    This somehow happens with the calmail server, when I delete a message using Apple Mail the calmail message is gone when I log onto that website and check the inbox
    Thanks so much for all of your help!

  • AOL Mail on my ipad

    my aol mail seemed to change and I cannot access my folders today as easily as yesterday.  I seem to have to do a lot of swiping and going back and forth.  I don't know if this was an update or if I hit something accidentally - any advice please - thank you!

    Hello, PriestessJeanann. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • How can I automatically sync my IMAP (AOL) Mail to the Mail App

    I have an AOL mail account and I use the Mail App on my Mac to check my mail and so on.
    My question is how do I keep all the Mail (including messages and attachemtns) on the AOL Server as a copy on my Mac Hard Drive.
    For examples, I have 20 Sub-Folders on the AOL Server, can they automatically since to duplicate folders on my Mac?  Or is there an easy way to do it.
    Currently, I am manually moving my messages to the folders I created in the "On My Mac".
    There must be an easier and automatic way to do this that I am missing right?  We are in 2014!
    Please Help!

  • Some of my AOL mails are not loading properly when using Firefox, they do come up when I use the AOL desktop, but they are S O SLOW

    I have been using Firefox for a long time now since AOL became
    S O SLOW with their Desktop Version in loading up mail.
    But in the last two months I have been loading my AOL mail and some of mine and my husband's do not come up at all, even when they are forwarded by other people.
    The header is there and it says the mail was loaded, but nothing in the actual page comes up

    OK you need to upload these images to your remote server because they are missing from the server or that they have gone to a different folder.

    In future always define your site correctly with all folders and file names without spaces in them.  For example "drawings 20" is not a good name.  You should rename it to "drawings20".
    When you have corrected this especially when you have uploaded the photos again then they will appear all right on the page.  after that you need to validate your pages for correct HTML and CSS but this can wait for now.
    Good luck.

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

    I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

    Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
    However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
    Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.
