Saved Message Drafts disappear in Mail for Mobile Me IMAP account only.

I have 4 email account defined in my Mail Accounts preferences. Three of them are to POP servers and my Mobile Me account is IMAP. I often draft messages and save them before sending them to give myself time to proof them before sending. When a message is saved as a draft from any one of my POP accounts, I get a "Drafts" item in the Mailboxes/folder bar that expands to each one of my 4 accounts, including the Mobile Me account.
However, when I draft and save a message from my Mobile Me account, it seems to disappear. If I have no other saved drafts in the other accounts I do not see a Drafts item in the Mailboxes/folder bar. And when I do see a Drafts item in the Mailboxes/folder bar because I have saved drafts from my other POP accounts, there is nothing in my Mobile Me drafts mailbox/folder.
This has perplexed me for a long time, and my workaround was to compose and save drafts using one of the POP accounts, and only changing the From field to my Mobile Me account just prior to sending.
Then, yesterday, I needed to access my Mobile Me mail using the web mail interface while at one of my customer sites, and to my surprise, I found all of my many missing drafts in the Drafts folder of my Mobile Me Web mail interface.
So my questions are:
1. Why don't I see my Mobile Me in a drafts folder while in Mail, considering that they are indeed in the drafts folder on the server?
2. Is this the normal and proper behavior for an IMAP connection?
3. Is this a bug, or is it a configuration issue in my mail account preference for Mobile Me?
Thank you in advance.
Jeff Cameron

Does anyone have any ideas or explanations for this behavior?

  • I recently saved a draft email using mail, but now whenever I try to reopen it, it says loading but will not load. All my other drafts load fine except for this one. Is there a way to access the draft outside of mail?

  • Syncing read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account

    Hi
    While mobileme accounts sync fine. My work account doesn't. So if I use Mail on my iPhone, I have to go through my e-mail twice. Every e-mail on the server is marked as unread so I have hundreds of e-mail waiting to be downloaded to my iPhone.
    Is there a way to sync read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account?

    The reason this is available with your MobileMe account is because your MM account is an IMAP account. An IMAP account is designed for this very thing - accessing an email account with more than one email client on different computers and/or devices keeping all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    The same is available with any IMAP account, and this is supported with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client.
    Your work account must be a POP account, which isn't supported with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP
    account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

  • HT5361 How to move saved messages in outlook to mail

    Could someone tell me how I can move all my saved messages from my Outlook into my mail as I wish to only use mail in future.
    Many thanks

    I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
    The conspiracy.
    Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually. 
    And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete 
    I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
    That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
    I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
    I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

  • E72 - New messages in subfolders in Mail for Excha...

    Hi all, 
    I got my E72 yesterday and am quite impressed with Nokia Messaging so far (I previously used RoadSync on my N82 for syncing with our exchange server).  One thing that's bugging me, though, is that when emails come in to one of my subfolders (this is the Mail for Exchange mailbox), there is no new email notification on the main screen.
    Is that right?  Can anything be done about this?  Like most people, I filter all my work emails into subfolders, so I need to know when something appears in one of them.  If I can't change this, I'll need to go back to Roadsync. 
    Any ideas or comments? 

    Your only hope lies with 3rd party software.  I managed to get by on Symbian by using Roadsync, but it wasn't an ideal solution.  I think they have a free trial, so you can try it to see if it works for you.
    The true and final solution for me was buying an HTC Desire and installing TouchDown.  It's the first time I've ever been completely happy with Exchange implementation on a phone, which is absurd - the Nokia E series has no excuse for not excelling in this area.

  • Mail Sender Adapter for Exchange 2007 IMAPS account

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following todo:
    I configured a Mail Sender Adapter that is supposed to fetch mails from an IMAP account.
    The mails contain text files with data to be processed by XI 3.0 SP 22.
    The mail server is Exchange 2007 and requires IMAPS. IMAP is not enough. I read the notes
    - 893590 - XI 3.0 Mail sender adapter with IMAP or POP with SSL problem
    - 856599 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 Mail Adapter
    and configured the sender apapter as follows:
    URL:                     imaps://<ip address>/owa
    Authentication method:     Plain
    User:                    <domain>\<user>
    Password:                       topsecret
    Poll Interval: 5
    The first challenge is to setup the adapter with SSL. To do so, I added the Exchange server's
    root SSL certificate in the default truststore service-ssl via the KeyStorage service.
    This is necessary, as far as I know, to successfully validate the Exchange server's trusted
    certifacate which is being transfered to XI during SSL handshake.
    Since the communication channel in RWB is in status error with following message:
    mail client job stopped completly
    exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 001I NO owa doesn't exist.
    mail client job scheduled,
    I do not know how to setup SSL for IMAPS. I successfully tested a PING to the Exchange server.
    Are there already experiences with Exchange 2007?
    What I have to do to fetch mails from an Exchange 2007 IMAPS folder/account with a Mail Sender Adapter?
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

    Hi,
    It should be imap and not imaps.
    You can try imap://xxx.xxx.de:993/Inbox
    Make sure that port 993 is correct. If you have doubt, then you may try 143 which is default port instead of 993 in the above url.
    regards,
    ganesh.

  • I see briefly the content of my Mail Inbox of an IMAP account, then everything disappear and the inbox is empty

    Hi There,
    I have beeen experiencing for the past few days some issues with my Inbox of an IMAP based email account. My inbox is empty.
    When I start mail my Inbox is empty after briefly appearing at the sgtart of the application.
    I installed thunderbird to verify that my IMAP account was not the issue and I can clearly see, receive and send email.
    I can also access that account via a webmail interface and everything seems fine.
    The problem started occuring after getting some error messages from the server indicating that I had gobe over the allocated quota. I cleaned up the account but now mail does present me an empty inbox. Again the account info are valid, nothing has changed.
    The interesting things is that my iphone & ipad that are using the same setup and my inbox is also empty there.
    With mountain lion (clean install), I can see the emails arriving via the notification bar.
    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help if somebody has encountered such a problem.
    Thanks
    Eric

    Try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Mail suddenly stops retrieving mail for one of 4 accounts

    I'm in the middle of a project, getting a steady stream of e-mails to a particular account, when sometime last night Apple Mail stopped retrieving my mail from Comcast for that account.
    I logged into Comcast, my mail is sitting there, but the Apple Mail client isn't picking it up. (The other 3 accounts, which are set up identically on Comcast and in Apple Mail Preferences, continue to work normally.)
    Re-entered the password in Mail Preferences for that account, it still doesn't work.
    Closed and opened Mail, no go for that account. Restarted my Mac, no fix for this Mail glitch.
    Thinking that I would have to delete it, I emptied the Inbox and Sent mail for the bad account (moved the mail to mailboxes on my Mac).

  • Cannot Get Mail for more than 5 accounts at a time

    I have a total of 9 POP email accounts setup in Mail. The problem is that my dedicated server doesn't allow for more than 5 simultaneous send/receives per IP (which unfortunately cannot be changed). When I click on "Get Mail", I see it tries to get mail for all accounts at once, and I need to somehow change that within Mail. Ideally I need it to check accounts individually or, as you can do in Entourage, group it into send/receive schedules with 4 per group.
    I am desperate, someone please help!

    If App Store has an app that can make, e.g., zip archives of multiple photos, then it could help (you package a bunch of photos in a zip file, and then you send only one attachment; the zip file).

  • How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
    I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
    i.e.
    if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
    <Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
    As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
    When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    I haven't tried this, but it should work:
    Make a new rule,
    If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
    Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
    In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

  • Mail.app handling multiple IMAP accounts

    Hi,
    I find it really hard to use multiple IMAP accounts with Mail.app. The way it displays IMAP accounts is really ugly and very confusing. At best you have one Inbox which displays all the Inboxes on your accounts. Then you have separate drafts, sent, trash treelike view for your accounts "special" mailboxes and then again some-kind-of-tree-view of your IMAP account - which by the way doesn't always even display! It depends if you have checked save trash/sent/junk/etc. messages to server or something which really doesn't have any logic in it. Also it doesn't display all the folders like Inbox (which is combined mailbox at the top which I explained). Then you can drag mailbox from your IMAP account to the "panel" which I think only copies and is not shortcut.
    Could you please do something to this instead of adding some ugly templates for sending your holiday pictures to your mom. I think that Mail.app should be developed to more "professional" usage, rather than develope features that teaches people to use their mailclient as a personal spamming tool for horrible HTML-mails.
    ps. I'd also like to turn off that stupid embedded-attachemts. Attachments are attachments and not a part of the email content thanks.
    -edit-
    you can see a screenshot of my Mail.app at work. I use more mailboxes at home and it's way more ugly. There should also be somekind of "don't display" -options as it displays some horrible Exchange-folders also.

  • Mail problem with some IMAP accounts - login fails, Thunderbird OK

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion Mac Mail fails to connect to some of my IMAP accounts. I tried everything I can think of. The problem is, the accounts work fine with Thunderbird. However, one of my IMAP accounts works with my main user account's settings (it was imported from my Lion set up), but it fails to set up with a second user. It seems to me that using IMAP with my provider and the Mountain Lion Mail is not working.
    Rebooting my saved Lion installation confirmed that it still works...
    Installing said accounts with Thunderbird and IMAP also works.
    Login with Mac Mail and POP using the accounts also works, webmail works, iOS works, a freshly set up Gmail account with IMAP works ....
    ONLY the damned Mountain Lion Mail program doesn't work with my mail provider's IMAP.  WHY? WHAT CAN I DO?
    Any insights or ideas?

    We have a firewall in the middle, but I can send to some boxes normally, I don�t believe this is the problem. => I have an innate distrust of firewalls as they have caused so many problems in the past for other customers. Are you able to configure an email client to send directly to messaging server and bypass the firewall -- just to remove this as a potential cause?

  • No incoming mail on ipad with IMAP account

    I have not been able to receive incoming mail from an IMAP account hosted by Network Solutions, and I'm not sure if the problem is on the client or server side. I am also not able to delete messages from the inbox. (I get a message saying "Unable to move message: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."
    I am sending and receiving emails from this account on both my iPhone and macbook without any problem. The iPad account is set-up exactly the same on the iPad as it is on the phone and macbook. The inbound port is set to 993, which is what it is automatically set to in the others even though NS says to set to 143.
    I have tried deleting the account and reinstalling many times with no success. I also tried resetting the ipad to factory settings. This worked briefly and everything worked fine for a couple of test emails, and then I was back at square one.
    There are a couple of things I've noticed. All my mail is in the inbox up until 9/5/13, after that there is nothing. If I search for a specific email and opt to continue the search on the server, the email is found and put in my mailbox (it is not there after deleting and reinstalling the account.) Also, I notice at the bottom of the folder bar where it tells you progress, last updated, etc. that when I am checking for mail, the status shows the downloading progress bar and the approximate number of emails I'm missing very briefly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • 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?
