Sort messages in Folder "Inbox"
Dear all,
How do I sort the messages in the Inbox folder using JavaMail API?

Hello Kona,
Thks for the reply.
I have the code for both sending mails via SMTP and receiving mails using POP3.
My question is
1. Apart for port no differences for SMTP and POP3 what are the other differences.
2. Can I sort the messages Inbox folder (using POP3 server programs) ?
Currently I am using a Comparator and populating all the messages in an ArrayList and then sorting them. This seems to be very time consuming.
I want to sort the (javax.mail.Folder) Inbox Folder itself before i process any mails.
Rgds,
Seetesh

I recently had my computer serviced. I re-downloaded Thunderbird (getting a newer version), and retrieved my saved email. Now, Thunderbird keeps asking me to compact, but when I do, I get this error message:
The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
Obviously, since I'm getting mail all the time, I have write privileges, and disk space. The question is whether there's a setting I need to specify, or whether Thunderbird is writing to a special partition that may have gotten write-protected when my computer was in the hospital - or whether this is related to a known bug.
All help appreciated.The only know bug I can see is probably your anti virus is trying to scan the file when the new inbox is created leaving Thunderbird to think the file was not created.
As an experimental / diagnostic process. Restart the machine in safe mode with networking using Microsoft instructions for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7] then try the compact. If it works I was most likely right. If it does not, another idea must surface. -
How can I get my e-mails when I get a message that the folder inbox is full?
I can't get my e-mail and the e-mails in my inbox have disappeared from Thunderbird, (but not from my server's web mail), so I can't divide it into several folders on Thunderbird to alleviate the problem. I don't know what happened to my old e-mails and I can't get new ones. I did go to my server's web site and deleted a huge number of e-mails there, but that didn't solve the problem. In fact, I wonder if this procedure caused my inbox to somehow disappear in Thunderbird.
I get a message that says "The folder inbox is full and can't any more messages. To make room for more messages delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder."
I have a new Mac with Maverick. However, in case this matters, all of my old files were migrated to the new Mac, including e-mails. Most of the old e-mails are in a separate folder, however. How can I restore my inbox and also get new e-mails?
Thank you very much.
I just thought of something else. I just changed my password with the server. Could this be the problem? I am able to *send* e-mail with Thunderbird, however.
rteach1Technically the limit of 4Gb per folder should have been removed in a recent patch. Personally I an unconvinced as the developers have said so twice before and something else arose to bite people at 4Gb. So the limit probably does not exist anymore and moving mail and compacting will fix it without data loss if it occurs as recent issues have been about displaying mail after the 4Gb point, not storing it.
Use the Ctrl and Shift keys in conjunction with your mouse to make multiple selections.
click followed by Shift+ Click selects everything between the two clicks, including the items clicked.
Holding the Ctrl key while clicking allows you to select or deselect mail to either fine turn the list from shift clicking or to make one of your own.
Ctrl +A selects everything in the list from the current selection to the end.
One option is create an important folder and move your important stuff to it then ctrl +A the whole remaining inbox. -
Messages could not be filtered to folder "inbox". How to handle this?
Upon log in and checking for messages I am receiving an alert which basically state" Messages could not be filtered to folder 'inbox'. Verify disk space and write privileges"
Yet I seem to be receiving up to date messages.
What can be done to rectify this.what is the message exactly.

Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?
I've just tried downloading two addons to try and fix this from the forum but one wasn't compatible with Firefox 28 and the other started downloading something very dodgy to do with .xpi file converters.
So any help would be great, thanks.first you have an anti virus problem... duplicated message almost always occur through one of two reasons. Anti virus program barfs on a message (relatively common) Server side message corruption (becoming more common, particularly at Yahoo)
Turning off anti virus checking will generally allow the message that causes the issue to download. logging into the webmail portal and deleting what you think looks like the "next" message to download will usually fix corruption that causes duplication of downloads.
Now to the cleanup.
This add-on should do that for you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/?src=search -
Automatically sort replies to folder which contains the original email.
Is there anyway to do this?
I've set thunderbird to automatically move MY replies under the original message which is great.
When I receive the next message (a reply to my reply) it goes to my inbox. I'd like it to automatically sort to the folder where the thread is contained. Or have the entire thread show up in my inbox again.
Is it a bug? or does the option only work for MY replies?The usual way to automate the filing of messages is to use ''Message Filters''. These are found under '''Tools|Message Filters''' in the traditional menus, or under '''Message Filters''' if you use the new Application Menu button, [≡].
There is an add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/quickfilters/
which may be attractive if you use filters a lot. -
The following problems occur:
- cannot delete messages,
- cannot move messages out of inbox,
- messages do not copy "sent"
- messages cannot be saved to "draft"
This applies to imap and to gmail accounts.
The following has not helped:
- compact trash and other folder
- deinstall and reinstall TB 31.4.
- archive profile with mozbackup and replace profile from archive after reinstall of TB.
- deinstall and reinstall TB 31.3 downgraded
- delete all folders and files with "trash*" in the file name (all IMAP)
- delete all files of 1 mail account completely in the TB profile and resync from server (IMAP)
This might coincide with these system changes:
- upgrade to TB 31.4.
- some of these email accounts were installed on ios8 iphone.
Not sure if the problems had already started before these 2 occurrences.
Any help is appreciated to solve this.
Thanks!
fashiWhat type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
Does this account allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window. -
I have an iphone 4s, OS 4.1.1. I am having issues with my messenger. When I have a message open I will see a new text come through and then it disappears. I have to close out of my messenger entirely and reopen it. Once I reopen the message the text reappears. Any suggestions? Also, if I get a new message and there is only one unopened message in my inbox and I open my messenger it automatically opens that message. Any way to fix this so that I decide when I want to open a certain message?
Thanks in advance for your help!
JenThere are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
a) Number of messages?
b) Size on disk?
5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed? -
Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?
Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?
You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button. >> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier. >> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

Outlook 14.4.8 on iMAC Retina and Yosemite 10.10.2 is not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox".
Accessing Mails with Webbrowser and from Windows Outlook is working correctly.
All Macs (also the ones with OS 10.6.8) do not anymore show any new messages in inbox.
Restarted Server, tried to disable autodiscover on macs and deleting/adding account and repairing database does not fix the problem. Also restarted server several times.
We have the same problem on 2 imacs retina with yosemite and on 2 mac pro with 10.6.8 and different office 2011 versions.
i tried to configure the exchange account in apple mail on yosemite and it also states "connected" and does list some folders but no new mails are getting in.
Windows clients and outlook on them works and syncs fine, and also when connecting via webbrowser at owa it must be a mac-specific/webdav issue.
exchange 2007 Sp3 Version 8.3 (bild 83.6) and Update Rollup 15 for sp3 (automatic updates "HIGH" for server and clients)
there is one update popping up again and again even after everytime successull installation: Windows Mlicious Software Removal Tool x64 - October 2010.
i tried to configure a new user with empty mailbox and configured it with microsoft mail (mac - yosemite) as exchange and was able to send a mail from there (even if quite delayed).
but there are not coming in any mails.
same exchange accounts triggered by imap do work and also via owa.
Exchange Accounts in Outlook for MAC and also in Mail (Yosemite) do show the folder structures but there is no mails showing up. I can send mails from the exchange accounts created but they seem to be processed with a delay of like 15minutes and outlook
is giving error "end of file reached" but messages are send after some time.
Does seem like EWS is extremely slow, to slow perhaps to sync and therefore ending in timeout.
Also i cannot reach the server from externally over ssl https 443. if testing port 443 of exchange from outside the port seems closed even firewall settings of sbs 2008 and sonicwall ports are correctly open.
could it be there is something in regarding webdav which is very slow and leading to timeouts ?
in application log i do have the following two information events every few minute:
The Exchange Web Services started successfully. Event ID 1
and

Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.
Thanks

Duplicate messages in wrong inboxes
We our main inbox we have 3 separate email boxes (home - which is main address from AT&T, my address and my wife's address). Recently we have been gettng mail in the right inbox but also the main address even though it is addressed to the sub email address. We tried one of the suggestions of adding the rule that if the "to" is equal to the addressee it goes to that mail box but now we are getting spam to that box. Does anyone else have the same problem or know of a fix? I wish Apple would add a feature to be able to learn spam that we mark as spam and trash and delete it automatcally since AT&T can't seem to due their job right.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don’t want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.

"to" is equal to the addressee it goes to that mail box
Which suggestions? If you set up a rule that moves incoming messages back to Inbox, you’re potentially creating an infinite loop that Mail cannot handle properly...

mark as spam and trash and delete it automatcally
What do you mean? Mail does have that feature. It’s the junk filter.

Sort messages in Mavericks Mail
Hello,
I upgraded from Snow Leopard directly to Mavericks. With respect to the previous version of Mail, I find the following functions not easily accessed as before. In a work environment this means wasting more time to do the same thing.
1) There is no possibility to quickly "sort" messages like before. Previously it was very quick to do it by selecting date, addressee, etc.
I can do this by selecting "Classic layout" but in that case I lose the side preview panel which I have now, and the old WideMail plugin doesn't work anymore.
2) When you write a new message there is no "save draft" button anymore.
3) When you make a search in Mail there is a lot of information coming out, which are not needed.
ThanksJean...hi
like you I am going from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.....a whole new world...Mail for me is the programme with the steepest learning curve .
can help you with this perhaps:
---sort: note above the inbox panel/window thare are sorting functions:
click the tiny arrow and for sorting options.
----also when searching, choose options from drop down.
---when switching to classic view: the preview panel is below, like it was before...
---save draft: cmd s
----check out the mail preference...Yes, I have spent so much time at work figuring out the new way. also youtube tutorials on Lion and maybe Mt. Lion give instructions on Mails new look.
good luck....i feel your pain, brother.... -
There is no messages in my Inbox, but counter near it still show (10).
There is no messages in my Inbox, but counter near it still show (10), I even check on server there is no messages. Mail work properly, but it is annoying to see counter near Inbox, in doc counter work perfectly.
This problem is appear 2 days ago, and I did not install or change something in preferences.Select the mailbox and hit the rebuild mailbox from the menu/Mailboxes.
If that doesn't help, Quit Mail and go to your home Library folder. In Lion, to get to it, go to Finder, select "GO" from the menu and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu.
Navigate to the Mail folder/ V2/ MailData folder/. Find the Envelope.plist files. Move them to the desktop or trash and open Mail. Hit continue on the popup box and it will rebuild your message index. This could take a while if you have a lot of messages. -
Messages from the Inbox and Sent folders are being transfered to the Outbox
Why are the messages from my Inbox and Sent folders being transfered to my Outbox?
There is probably something wrong with the Envelope Index file. In the few cases I've seen something similar, however, there was also something wrong with the structure of the Mail folder, and we must fix that before trying to re-create the index.
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
Finally, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, .Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's ~ folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there. -
Saving or Archiving All Messages in Your Inbox
I'm going to revamp my entire OS & hard drive this weekend, but i want to make sure all my mail is saved. How would I go about saving or archiving all the messages in my inbox so when I finish reinstalling my OS, I can have all my messages saved and upload them back into mail (cause my emails come off the comcast server once I recieve them)
The Mail folder is found in your user folder -- Home/Library/Mail. Copy it, and the com.apple.mail.plist file found in Home/Library/Preferences, and you can restore everything using those two items. The Address Book is found in Home/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook -- copy that if you want to save contacts.
