Use this mailbox for Junk does not appear to work in Mail 4.2.

Hello, all:
Have been using 10.6.x since it came out on my previous iMac [24" Early 2008 model]. Went with a fresh install of 10.6.3 on the new iMac [27" i7], and ported data over.
The only problem that I've had is that setting the Use this mailbox for Junk command in setting up Mail 4.2 does not seem to work. I've closed Mail and looked at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, and the correct mailbox name is indicated for the two accounts [IMAP and GMail over IMAP] where I'd like to do Junk Mail filtering. However, there is no centralized Junk Mail filter, which is really annoying me.
I didn't have this problem previously in Mail 4.x, and I'm expecting that it's a bug specific to 4.2, which I haven't seen in my previous incarnation because I did the import from 3.x->4.0, and the prefs carried forward correctly from 4.0->4.2.
Anyone else running into this, and is there anything else I should be looking at? Am I explaining the problem such that it's clear what I'm asking?
Thanks,
Geof

I figured out the problem (for me, anyways). In Preferences > Junk Mail, make sure Junk filtering is enabled and make sure the "move it to junk mailbox" radio button is selected.

Use This Mailbox for... not working for Yahoo Bulk Mail

Hello!
I have a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, both running Mountain Lion. My two Yahoo mail accounts are successfully set up via Mail on both Macs. I was able to use the "Use this Mailbox for..." command to assign the Drafts, Sent and Trash for each account to the respective Yahoo folders (so I don't have duplicate folders). The problem is trying to do the same for the Bulk Mail folders.
On my Mac Pro, I was able to successfully select the Yahoo Bulk Mail folders for each account and use "Use this Mailbox for... --> Junk" and it worked, no problems. On the MacBook Pro, however, when I attempt to do the same thing, it doesn't seem to take. Nothing happens...the Bulk Mail folder in each account remains separate in each account's folders, instead of moving up under the Mailboxes above the VIPs, Drafts, Sent and Trash.
I've tried Rebuilding the mailboxes, and eventually deleting the accounts and re-adding them to Mail on the MBP...still can't get the Bulk Mail folders to assign to Junk. The others (Drafts, Sent, Trash), no problems.
Suggestions?

Well, after literally months of searching, and trying to find different search terms to find the answer, I finally solved it.

When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
How do I rectify this?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

"Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.

Use this mailbox for greyed out in Mail 7

Since upgrading to Mavericks (and Mail 7) I can no longer assign the sent messages folder in Mail. My IMAP provider uses a "sent items" folder under the inbox which I had previously used Mailbox->Use This Mailbox For->Sent to get it synced correctly across all my devices. Unfotunately all options under Use This Mailbox For are greyed out since upgrading to Mavericks. This is the same for all my IMAP email accounts. I am able to change the settings on my iOS devices but no joy on my mac. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I'm not sure but I think I deleted the account from the Internet Accounts preference pane instead of from Mail's preferences. Could that make a difference?
Anyway for me the behaviour isn't consistent at all. In three IMAP accounts one does't have the problem at all, one shows the "Use This Mailbox For" options "Sent" and "Junk" selectable and the other two greyed out, and for one account only "Junk" is selectable.
Strange.
The two accounts that have the problem are from the German provider Strato. Though I don't think it is a provider issue.

Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.
Help!?

How to "use this mailbox for"....in 10.8

I am trying to designate a different mailbox for trash. However, prior posts which said to create the "new" mailbox, select it , and then use the above mentioned menu selection do not appear to work in 10.8. All the selections for this menu item (including "using this mailbox for trash" are grayed out and not selectable).
Any thoughts?????

I am on office 365, and these options are greyed out. IMAP doesn't seem to be an option. Any advice? I really prefer mac mail app to outlook, but being able to access my sent mail is also fairly crucial. thanks!!

Apple Mail - undo Mailbox - Use this mailbox for

Using Apple Mail 4.5, I tried to get my mom's Trash back to a normal place. She's using Gmail, and IMAP. I tried doing a "Mailbox" and then Use this mailbox for and pointing it to Gmail's trash. Now it is empty.
What is the proper way to set up IMAP gmail with Apple Mail?

Mail has to store those messages somewhere. Hence, the only way to “undo” those selections is to do Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For on a different mailbox or to turn OFF the corresponding Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store messages on the server setting.

Use This Mailbox For...

In mail under the mailbox menu, there's an item titled "Use This Mailbox For". All the options are grayed out. Why?

It still doesn't explain why the contents of the "use this mailbox for" is greyed out.
I noticed it first when installing Gmail (Seamless) but the same happens on Apple Mail.
In fact the number of greyed out submenus is quite impressive, and not just due to items not being highlighted.
it seems to me that some features were not activated during setup.
Is it because most people use another client that there has been such a sparse response to this question?

Apple Mail 5 use this mailbox for

Alright, so, I have been playing with the updated Mail application in Lion. I love the new interface but I seem to be missing an important part or just unable to find it. When setting up an account to connect to Gmail's IMAP I seem to be unable to get the common folders, Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam, working in unison with Gmail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam labels. In the previous versions of Mail I've been able to right-click each of those folders and click "Use this mailbox for..." to which I would select the proper folder. This option seems to be missing in Apple Mail 5 or, the very least, I'm unable to find it or an equal option.
When creating an account to use with Gmail I have played with the preference checkboxes for those common folders. Leaving them checked I will get a new label created in Gmail instead of the email going into the real folder. For instance, if I delete an email it will go into my trash on the mac and it will then have the label "Deleted Messages" but not actually be in the trash in Gmail. The same goes for Sent Mail as well. If I uncheck these options then I get duplicate email in the Mail Sent folder as well as Gmail's Sent label. On top of this, if I click the sent button I in the new Mail interface I ONLY see mail I have sent from Apple Mail and not items that are in my sent mail label for Gmail. Which is annoying.
So, in short, is it possible, and if so then how, do I get Gmail and Apple Mail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam folders perfectly synced so that it will work like how it used to in Snow Leopard or even how it currently works on the iPhone? If I can not get this functionality then I guess I will have to say goodbye to Apple Mail which is a shame because I really love the new interface.
If this has been asked and answered/resolved can I please get a link to the discussion? I've searched but seem to be unable to find any possible answers.

It is an exchange account. In Mail>Preferences>Accounts I do not see the IMAP Path Prefix, which isn't surprising (when it is no IMAP-account).
Coming to your question, Ernie: I created this account longer ago, maybe 2 years? I created this subfolder from a Windows computer and recently made the swith for my business computer to a MBA. Great computer! Strange thing is, the mails in the subfolder are shown correctly in my iPad Mail app... Also: I created such a subfolder in my Inbox and this mail is shown correctly... Strange... For this mailbox (and for all others) the options in the dropdown menu 'use this mailbox for' etc are all greyed out...

Apple Mail won't remember "Use this mailbox for ..." state

I have all my devices up-to-date now, with my two Macs having the newest versions of Lion installed.
I am trying to set up all my devices (2 Macs, iPhone, iPad) in a way that all my sent mails, drafts and deleted messages are always stored on the server.
To do this, I have to define folders like the "Sent" folder in each email account (on the server) as the one to be used as the Sent folder on the Mac - quite easy. (From the Mailbox menu, I go to "Use this mailbox for ..." and then define what it should be used for).
This worked fine on the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone/iPad (in the same iOS settings).
Somehow though, whenever I define this on my Mac Pro Lion installation, it will revert to the old state (save them only on the local disk) whenever I restart the program. It will go back to saving the sent emails and drafts on the local disk, and all the folders reappear in the dropdown menu under the individual accounts on the right-hand side in Mail.
It takes quite a long time to quite Mail too (although I am using an SSD), and Safari has been acting up lately as well (it goes back to a application state from January 4 whenever I restart it, so I see tabs and windows I browsed on that day). This might have to do with the fact that I copied my Keychain from my other Mac to the new one, but I can't figure out why ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's driving me nuts because I need my email to be in sync at all times!

Who is your email provider? I only ask because depending on who it is, you may or may not be able to do anything about the next paragraph.
What method are you using to fetch your mail from the server - POP or IMAP? For what it sounds like you're asking to do, you should be using IMAP (which will keep things in check on all devices in all locations.) POP tends to be an all or nothing type of thing.
Any time you start transferring things from other Macs (like preferences), you're asking for things to start acting odd.

exception-type in web.xml does not appear to work

WLS 60 SP1 (#101616)
          <exception-type> in web.xml does not appear to work. WLS shows standard
          "Internal error 500" page instead of a custom error page. The custom error
          page is shown if <error-code> is used instead of <exception-type>.
          Any ideas? Thanks


Can you show me some of your code? This works for me.
Also, you say that you are working with 6.0sp3. Are you sure? sp3 hasn't been
released yet, except in a very limited beta. (I believe only internally, but I
could be wrong about that.)

GetColumnAt(index) does not appear to work

I am attempting to place a simple Icon in a dataGrid using
cellRenderer. My problem is that
'myDataGrid.getColumnAt(index).cellRenderer' does not appear
to work. Most of the forum examples create arrays with AS and don't
show this example. I already use XMLConnector (which works fine)
the problem is referencing a column after the fact. I can do this
when creating column smanually but not using getColumnAt(index).
My code block:
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridRow;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
playlist_dg.cellRenderer = "IconCellRenderer";
playlist_dg.getColumnAt[3].cellRenderer = "IconCellRenderer"
Any help is appreciated. cellrenderer is a bit hairy

this is either a blindingly stupid question (for which I
