What does a white mailbox folder Icon mean

Some of my mailbox folder icons are white instead of blue. What does this mean?
Thanks!

And can only contain other mailboxes/folders. Take a look at [Blue and white Mail foders explained|http://www.macworld.com/article/53837/2006/11/mailcolor.html]

  • What does this arrow shaped Status icon mean. cant find in iPhone manual.

    look at this photo, http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/AmmY6r50acAF6NWNCGCHDw?feat=directlink screen shot of my iPhone status bar, the status icon that is in question has a red box around it.
    it is a screen shot of my Camera Roll on my iPhone, in it is a picture i was trying to email someone. however at the last minute i decided not to send the picture and i canceled the email, which gave me the option to delete draft so i did. then it takes me back to the Camera Roll, and when i tap the image to reveal the status bar at the top that icon that has a red box around it is there, when i exit camera roll it disappears, and this is the only time iv ever seen it, i noticed this, and i repeated exactly what i did about 4 times and it was there each time. on the 5th and 6th and any more attempts after that it did not appear again.
    i thought it might have something to do with location services, but the location of the picture from where i was when this was happening was in the opposite direction. and the status icon pointed in the same direction each time.
    anyone have any ideas?

    Yep, it's for Location Services. I think they changed out the crosshairs and are using that arrow instead. That arrow doesn't act like a compass though... just a static icon.

  • What does the reds striped battery icon mean?

    all of a sudden my iPad displayed a white outlined battery with a few red lines.  When i left it the battery was about 69%.  I may have run it down.  I've plugged it in to recharge but nothing seems to be happening?  Did i kill that battery?  I've only had this for about 3 years, so can it be dead already?
    thanks,  Ps I'm not sure what operating system i'm on ... either.

    It's possible that the battery has died. It would not be unheard of, that's for sure. Especially if the battery was defective.
    Have you tried resetting the iPad to see if it comes around?
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking mean on my macbook?

    What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking on my macbook mean and how do I fix it???

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • What does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate?

    what does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate upon start up?

    That the computer can't find a useable boot volume.
    Boot from your grey installer DVD disc 1 (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
    OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk (not Disk permissions). If problems are reported as repaired, run it again until you get a message in green "the volume seems to be OK".
    If it says it can't repair the disc, you may need heavier guns such as DiskWarrior or TechTool to attempt a rescue.
    Hope you have backups; retrieving data from adead drive can be expensive and tricky.

    That's the firmware telling you it can't find the operating system it's been assigned to boot from.
    It could be because it forgot somehow, or the operating system is no longer there or readable or the hardware holding the operating system has failed.
    Hold the power button to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the option/alt key held down on the wired or built in keyboard, icons will hopefully load on the screen and if OS X appears, click the arrow to boot from it.
    Once in OS X, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your boot drive so it can remind the firmware.
    If there is no OS X boot volume, just recovery or Bootcamp (if Windows installed) then you need to perform more work.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    To get a copy of your files off the drive.

  • What does unreadable file and unrecognizable format mean in my iphoto 11?

    What does unreadable file and unrecognizable format mean in my iphoto 11?

    A number of people have reported issues with some models of Kodak cameras and iPhoto. Reformatting the card with the camera usually solves the issue. Make sure you have the photos off the card first (Image Capture - in your Applications Folder - may help with that) as reformatting will erase the card.

  • What does "network connection has timed out" mean??!!

    What does "network connection has timed out" mean?

    It means that the destination server is taking too long to respond. This can sometimes be resolved by closing safari and reopening it, turning off your modem, and then after 10secs turning it back on, or if you have and airport extreme/express, or Time Capsule, restarting those.
    Good Luck
