Sent and trash folders disappeared. Clicking inbox icon doesn't help

non of the remedies posted appear to work. The only add-on I installed was the "reply all" feature, but the problem only showed up several weeks later. Any other ideas out there?

  • How can I add a Mail folder with the "Inbox, Sent, and Trash" folders?  I have Windows 8.1

    After I installed the 7.0.6 update, my iPhone crashed & had to do a restart.  I saved my Contacts.  I've been syncing my iPhone to store data on my PC instead of iCloud.  I'm assuming all of my pictures etc. are in the iPod Photo Cache, which I cannot open since they are THMB files.  How can I view all of my "lost" data without having to pay for the "Converter" program, which according to many of the people in my boat, say doesn't work & is a rip off?  I'm also trying to put an "Archive" folder back in my Mail folder.  I've tried to follow instructions but my iPhone 7.1 does not have the same options.  All of this is so frustrating.....load an upgrade & screws a lot of stuff up.  Just like "Trust this computer?" on 7.0.6 update.  Anyway, I hope someone can help with these minor problems.
    Thank you.

    Not in Mail. If you referring to not having to use the menu, you can click the + sign at the bottom to create new mailboxes. But you still have to fill in the window with location and name. You can right click to create a new mailbox on an existing one, but not in the main account itself and you still have to fill in the info. It would create a sub folder.
    You can also try it at the gmail website. There might be shortcuts there.

  • Can someone confirm that "Sent" and "Trash" can hold more than 200 email?

    Can some confirm that Mail on iPad/iPhone
    can hold more than 200 email in the "Sent" and "Trash" folders, and that
    setting "Show 200 Most Recent Msgs" affects only the size of "Inbox" ?
    Thanks in advance.
    (The ISP offers only a POP server; no IMAP or MS Exchange.)

    Check the bit rate for your songs. If 200 songs use up 7GB, they must be in a large bit rate format.
    In iTunes, highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary and check the Kind, Size and Bit Rate. Apple's figures for the number of songs on an iPod is based on a four minute song at 128Kbps.
    I have a song in three different formats  in my iTunes Library. Notice the difference is Size for the different formats. The song is 3 minutes 55 seconds long.
    Kind is AAC audio file. Size is 7.5MB. Bit Rate is 256Kbps
    Kind is Apple Losslesss audio file. Size is 20.8MB. Bit Rate is 738Kbps.
    Kind is AAC audio file. Size is 3.8MB. Bit Rate is 128Kbps
    Notice the enormous difference. I believe the iTunes Store now sells MP3s in 256KBps format, wheras they used to be in 128Kbps MP3 format. For a given Bit Rate, the MP3 format is about the same size as Apple's AAC format.
    So you will need to check several songs, because there will be a variety, I'm sure.

  • When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

    When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i  create a new folder?

    The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
    You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Can anybody tell me how to create other mailboxes besides inbox,sent and trash on my iPhone4?

    can anybody tell me how to create other mailboxes besides inbox,sent and trash on my iPhone4?

    You can't create any mailboxes directly on your phone. Mailboxes/Folders have to be created on the mail server, then synced to your phone. This requires an IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account. Sounds like you have a POP account, if so you cannot create any mailboxes/folders.

  • I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash.  I would like to add saved, how can I do this.  I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.

    Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
    is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
    any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
    get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP)  and configure
    your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
    gmail account.

  • I cannot see my email DRAFT, SENT, or TRASH folders

    I've set up a POP email account on my iPad.  Mail is sent and received fine, but I do not see the DRAFT, SENT, or TRASH folders.  They appear only when I choose MOVE a file, but are not really accessible.

    Tap account name at top left until you see Inboxes (with teh email boxes) them scroll down to see Accounts.
    Select the Account you want to see DRAFT, SENT, or TRASH.

  • "Sent" and "Trash" mailboxes not syncing across devices

    My "In Box" syncs across devices, but the "Sent" and "Trash" boxes do not. How do I ensure that all my mailboxes are syncing across all my devices, so that conversations can move back and forth regardless of which device I am using at the moment?

  • Only inbox, where is sent and trash?

    I recently got an iOS4 and unlike my old 3GS, when I go to mail there is only the inbox and no sent mail or trash. If I send an email from my iPhone I can't see it and if I save a draft I can't find it. There is the option to move mail from my inbox into either sent or trash but I can't find where they went. Anyone else have this problem?

    If you launch the Mail app and hit the back button until you are at the Mailboxes screen, you should see your mail account listed in both the Inboxes and Accounts sections. If you click on the mail account in the Accounts section you should see the Trash and Sent folders in addition to the Inbox. (If you click on your mail account in the Inboxes section, then only the Inbox will be visible.)

  • Why is the mail in my yahoo and other folders disappearing?

    Please help I am new to apple and I pad and need my email.. The mail that is just disappearing is from yahoo, hotmail, the g mail doesn't seem to be affected.

    All the YAHOO emails I move from the inbox to my folders disappear after a couple of days - I just spoke to Yahoo Customer Services via Live Chat and they advised me that it's a known issue that they are working on - in the meantime their advice is not to move emails between folders using an iOS device or open any from within a folder - i.e. on your iPad/iPhone only view them in your Inbox.  Sent Items folder isn't affected.

  • Drag and drop folders to desktop printer icon

    I would like to drag and drop folders containing various documents, such as word, excel, pdf, to a desktop printer icon and have all the documents within the folder print automatically.
    Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so, how to do so?
    Thank you.
    PS-I posted a similar question yesterday, however I incorrectly noted "files" instead of "folders". Sorry.

    The printer has been set up on the desktop and works
    fine with individual documents. My desire is to drag
    a folder, containing several documents, to the
    printer icon and have all the seperate documents
    within the folder print.
    That's not possible - dragging a folder, as I am sure you have seen, will print the contents of the folder.
    By automatic print, I meant that the print dialouge
    window would not open and require the print button to
    be selected, ie, simply drag a folder and all the
    documents start printing without further input/action.
    The closest you'll get, I think, is dragging a group of documents of the same kind that are handled without presenting the print dialog - pdf or text files. It depends on the file types, the printer to a degree, and how the receiving application handles the Apple Events.

  • Can't open iPhoto on MacBook. no error message. click on icon, doesn't respond. 10.7.5 version and '08 iPhoto version

    IPhoto not responding when I click on icon.. No error messages, just won't open. Tried to open in system preferences did not work.
    I am not computer savey, so only tried re-booting. Can you help? Thank you

    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Double clicking on icons doesn't open up applications anymore

    My iMac recently went thru a electrical surge in my house that ultimately caused an electircal fire in the wall of my home. Anyway, I'm no longer to able to just simply double click on a desktop icon which, in turn, wold open up the appropriate application, and I'm not sure what to do to fix that problem. It's very unconvient to right mouse click then selct open and choose my app.
    Oh, my iMac has gotten slow too.
    Help!

    butterkups,
    The electrical surge probably caused a hard shutdown which resulted in corrupted caches.
    For the double-click problem, go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Options>... and change the "Double-Click" speed.
    For the slow mac try Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.

  • Multiple email sent/spam/trash folders and inboxes??

    Hi,
    I am thoroughly confused as to why i have these multiple folders. I use an IMAP account. Is it because Mail creates one sent folder and my email provider creates another?
    I think it's very confusing. I'll have to hunt and peck to find a sent email or a trashed one.
    Is it possible to merge these somehow?
    Cheers!

    Spacefish,
    When using IMAP account you can have a few folders set-up depending on your settings within you mail app. You can have folder locally on you mac, but also on the sever for the IMAP account, ie. if you settings in mail keep sent mail on the sever, you will find a sent folder which is kept on the server holding all your sent items.
    I have this set up on my iphone, so I can when I get to my office computer track the emails I have sent from my iphone, but have sent email from my work machine kept on my mac.
    I hope this makes sense... It's getting late

  • My IPad shows I have 1.1GB of mail and attachments. What am I not seeing? I have went into each account and deleted messages from all folders (inbox, sent and trash). It still shows that I have that much space used.

    I could really use some help. Probably an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it ou. 

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.
