Why does mail create two folders for incoming mail?

Hi there,
i'm using the latest version of mac and i've set up a gmail (imap) account on mail. When i first created the imap account, all seemed in order, then after about 5 minutes of activity (i believe it was the moment i started composing my own email), Mail created a series of new folders under the standard "inbox, sent and junk" folders. There is now also a GMAIL tab there which has a bunch of subcategories like sent mail and junk and trash. when i receive new emails, they show up in both the default inbox and also in the gmail inbox. I'd rather just receive them in the default inbox because it looks like i am receiving double the mail and have to click both folders in order to mark the new mail as unread. any advice? hope i was able to bring my subject over clearly enough.
thanks,
jp

Welcome to Apple Discussions, janchy.
What you describe sounds like normal behavior to me. IMAP accounts create their own section in Mail's sidebar as well as sub-mailboxes in the standard mailboxes. If you see Sent/Trash/Junk as subfolders in the (white) Gmail folder, select each one in turn and click Mailbox menu > "Use this mailbox for...".
You should read my [User Tip about IMAP Gmail and Mail|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1747527] (click the link), too.
At the moment it's also accessible at the top of any of the "Mail and Address Book" forum pages on this board.

  • Create new folders for e-mail?

    Is it possible to create folders for e-mail? Or does this sync with e-mail accounts? I use comcast.net and none of my folders show up on my iPhone. Any info. would be appreciated.

    With an IMAP account only and Comcast provides POP account access only.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
    An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices with the ability to keep all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account, and the ability to create additional server stored mailboxes to sort/store received or sent messages by category which will also be kept synchronized with the server automatically with all email clients used to access the account.
    With an IMAP account, you can also store sent messages on the server. Send a message with the iPhone's Mail client and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the email client used on your computer to access the account, and vice-versa.
    This is not possible with a POP account.

  • Why does Labview create a .vi for each global variables?

    Hello,
    I wrote an Labview application which use several global variables (almost 30 variables). All the variables are of variable type "single process". For each of these variables, Labview creates a vi.
    For example, for the variable "_TS.Measures.channes", Labview creates a vi named "TS_'_TS.Measures.channels'.vi". Which means, I have almost 30 "name of variable".vi files: this is confusing!
    All my VI are inside library (.llb). When I try to put the VI of a global variable in a library, Labview can't find them anymore.
    May be can somebody explain me, why LabVIEW does create these VI and how is it possible to put them in a library.
    Cheers,
    Risotto

    Hi everybody,
    Thank you for your answers, I get a lot of informations.
    Yes, I use the new shared variables in LabVIEW8, which I am using like sort of global constants. Now I am understanding what guys are telling me all this about global variables in LabVIEW7.1. Sorry, I forgot to say I was using LabvVIEW8.
    I will have a look on the tutorial too.
    But yet one point about the library collecting all the shared variables in the windows explorer and in the project explorer: When I create a shared variable in my LabVIEW project - for example "test1" as double/single process - the variable doesn't appear in my file directory, but it appears in the project explorer in a library (.lvlib).
    When I drag/paste my shared variable on the block diagramm of my VI, then a file "Math_test1.vi" appears in my file directory. There is no extra .llb created to contain my shared variable vi.
    If I drag/paste the file "Math_test1.vi" in the Math.llb (see picture), then the file is moved in the llb and disapeared from the directory.
    If I created another shared variable "test2" as double/single process and put it on the VI, then LabVIEW creates2 files in the directory: "Math_test1.vi" and "Math_test2.vi". So that I get 2 vi for the "test1" variable now (one in the llb and one in the directory).
    I use several library in the project explorer. But the  library in the project explorer seems to create file with other extension (.lvlib) than the sdtandard LabVIEW library (.llb).
    Cheers,

  • Contentbase Issues - Why does it create 2 proxies for every video assett?

    I am trying to deploy a SAN and a Media Asset Management System. After testing Final Cut Server, I've noticed that within the Proxies.bundle you get:
    1) Duplicate Thumbnails
    2) Duplicate Poster Frames
    3) Duplicate Low Resolution Video Proxies
    Why dublicate everything? I want to SAVE SPACE and if I have to create proxies (since you can't really turn this off yet), why take up twice the space?
    Also, Why can't I control or alter the thumbnail or poster frame image generated? I might not want to pick the first frame of video. I might want to change it.
    I see no place in the Admin panel to address these issues...At All!
    Anyone know what's up?

    Thanks so far Nicholas and Chris,
    Here's the thing: I've read both the admin guide and the peachpit book on FCS now. I don't understand a few things:
    1) If I import a FCP project as an asset, it will copy all media associated with the project to either the Media or Library folder. Wow Great. But when it make the proxies (Thumbnail, Poster frame, Low Res Copy--Not Editing Proxy; this isn't enabled in my setup now), it creates a series of folders like:
    00000000001a
    00000000001b
    00000000001c
    00000000001d
    And in each you get the XML, the thumbnail, the poster frame, and the low res proxy.
    However, then it duplicates three files: the thumbnail, poster frame and low res proxy into three more folders:
    00000000001e
    00000000001f
    00000000001g
    These are literally the exact duplicate of the first three proxies. (The XML is not duplicated.) If I delete these duplicates manually, the system still works, provides previews, a thumbnail, etc. inside the user UI; no problems.
    Additionally, if I import media/an asset directly--not attached to a project--it only creates one set of proxies and no duplicates.
    This leads me to believe that it is making proxies for both the media asset and the project file, instead of one set of proxies for both.
    Either way, I need a "better way" to integrate our workflow with FCS at our web video company. We have some 5200 raw media files I need to catalogue and import. Most of these files have been edited and exported into final conformed shows--those are about 3700 final QuickTimes.
    We also have tons of other still photos, and gfx, that I would like to catalogue. Before I start moving stuff into FCS, I want to be sure that I am not wasting proxy space.
    If either of you has more time, I would be grateful to follow up with more technical questions and workflow solutions.
    Thanks,
    Shawn Larkin

  • Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
    I choose Export>Versions
    choose
    Subfolder Format: Project Name
    no custom subfolder
    Name Format: Current Version Name.
    Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
    To be sure, I have no project named Projects
    x
    This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
    If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
    I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

  • My incoming mail user .wav file doesn't play for incoming mails. It does work on local test.

    I have windows 7 Professional PC and use Mozilla Thunderbird 24.4.0 as my email account. I have a local .wav music file for incoming mail which tests OK, but when a new mail arrives it doesn't play. I have all the boxes ticked in the settings. Can anyone help please?

    An update on local .wav sound file for incoming TB mail messages.
    Driver Booster found outdated drivers and all have been updated.
    Sound device has been removed from the device manager and automatically re-installed.
    From advice given I have turned mail.imap.use_status_for_biff to "false".
    Still no sound from my local .wav file. Is my problem unique? Is 2.74 MB too large as a sound file?

  • Why routing failures create two messages in BizTalk admin

    hi,
    can some one help me to understand why routing failures create two messages in BizTalk admin, one with suspended(resumable) and one with suspended(non resumable)?
    Regards, Amit More

    One of the non-resumable Message contains the message context properties which is passe when message is passed for the first time . It varies for with each message retry .
    While the second message contains your actual data i.e incoming message or the message which has failed to route to the destination system .You can resume it when ever the down stream system is available .

  • Why does EJB needs two interface???

    Hi All,
    This has been asked by many ppl and many of you might be having
    the correct answer for it. Please tell me....
    Why does EJB needs two interface (Home and Remote Interface)?. Why not one?
    Thanx to all...
    Regards
    GoodieGuy

    Hi Goodie ,
    Its good question and its a very valid one , one has to have doubt
    why two , why not one ..
    Here the answer goes ..
    First of all you need to understand that its a distributed computing technique ie I mean lot of people will be accessing the bean at the same time , right ? OK , you cann't access the bean directly.
    and lastly the stateless and entity beans do instance pooling.
    The very purpose of having two interfaces is
    1) To differnentiate the bussiness logic and life cycle methods .
    2) The home interface inititates life cycle methods like creation , destruction etc .
    3) There are lot of beans in the container , and through home you are
    creating the instance or accessing one of them .
    4) Once you have home object using it we get the remote object ie the instance of the bean that you want to access if stateless any bean can be called , if statefull depending upon the parameter in create method that respective bean is created and invoked .
    In ejb 1.0 and 1.1 even though the bean and the client are in same jvm its assumed that they are remote and in 2.0 Ver we have local this is to avoid network traffic .
    Hope you have got the answer , but if u still need clarification
    read EBRoman book first and second chapters thoroughly and then proceed
    a head.
    Bye

  • I have a new Mac and mail is showing thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on the computer.  does anyone know what is going on?

    I purchased a Mac OS x 10.9 in December. When using Mac Mail i get thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on my computer.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  this sure never happened on my old mac. i have three email accounts.  gmail, verizon and hotmail.

    I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.

  • I have created two servers in my "Mail"

    I have created two servers in my "Mail" and need to eliminate one of them, as I need to select the proper one, each time I send an email. I don't know how to do that. This is the message I get;
    "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. No two servers may share the same address and authentication settings. Please resolve the conflicts and try again"
    How do I correct this?

    Go to the Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Outgoing Mail Server.
    Click on the drop-down list and choose "Edit Server List"
    This should bring up a window with a list showing the two identical servers.
    If you see two servers in the list that look the same, click on one of them and then click on the - (minus) button below the list to remove the server you've chosen to get rid of.
    Depending on how the settings work out, you may need to go back and select the email account you want to work with and then choose the remaining server for the account to use to send mail (if it isn't already shown in the list).

  • How do I reduce a Pages file size so I can create a pdf for e-mailing?

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to OS X Leopard. In Tiger, I was able to reduce file size and create a 700 to 800kb file by going to print/color sync/quartz filter/reduce file size/save as pdf. But in Leopard those options can't be accessed from my pages print menu. Any suggestions? Thanks TH

    Hi t.h.leeds,
    Welcome to Pages discussions.
    Another way to reduce the PDF files size is: Print > PDF, Compress PDF. As I create a PDF for e-mailing that's what I do, works well. 99.99% of folks don't print PDF's, they either file in a folder or delete. Viewing on their monitor that Compress PDF appears as it should.
    A side note; by using this discussions Search feature in the box that reads "Search Discussions more Options" you could have found the answer to your question. Doing that would be faster than awaiting for an enduser as yourself to respond.
    These Discussions are user helping user, not Apple employees answering the question. Questions will be answered when a user such as yourself finds time, desires to, knows the answer along with the time to respond.

    Does one custom table more or less really matter?  If you really want delete it, delete the table in DEV which will put it into a new transport and get that transport moved to TEST.
