Why is my new mail going to an "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder?

I've discovered that my new mail is now longer going to the regular Inbox. It's now landing in a new "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder. Why? How can I reset this back to the regular new mail inbox?
I tried renaming the folder in the directory but mail still is defaulting there. I've check to make sure I don't have a filter to do this, no filter for this account.

Use C:\YourWebSite (where C: is your hard drive).

How do I add a folder to my Archive folder in Mail?

On previous versions of Mail (on my Mac, NOT on my iPhone), I was able to move whole folders into Archive, but I can't seem to do that anymore. When I move a folder over the Archive folder, nothing happens.
After looking around, it looks like I can only move single messages or groups of messages into the Archive folder, but that can't be right, can it?
I want to keep my archived emails sorted by the folders they exist in already... can someone please help me do that?

The only way you can now add additional folders to the 'Archive' folder/mailbox is to create the new folders using the specific mail application.
If you have Apple Mail pointing to a Gmail account, you will need to access Gmail web interface and create the folder there. Likewise for Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.
Not sure if this will work for Apple Cloud mail accounts.
I have a @sky.com account and accessed the Sky webmail interface, created the new folders (Archive/*****) and reopned Apple Mail and there they were under the Archive folder :-)

Why is new mail going to my archived folder?

Upgraded to 10.9.2 and now all mail is not being sent to my inbox, but to my archived folder. How do you fix this?

What email program are you using?

Can anyone explain why some of my mail goes straight into Archive and doesn't show up in my Mail Inbox?

I don't understand the Archive folder. My Mail Inbox receives mail for my Mac, Gmail & AOL accounts - but sometimes after I've read an email I then can't find it when I check back for it later. And then I discover it's in the Archive folder, though I haven't done anything to make it move to Archive. So it must be happening automatically, and seemingly at random. Can anyone explain how this could be and how I can prevent it continuing to happen? Thanks.

Andy, thanks for your reply. I was just going to post that I seem to have solved the problem.
What I ended up doing was to first back up the mail folder. Then I created some Saved Mail folders and did a search to find the e-mails that weren't displaying and put them into a saved mail folder. Then I went in and deleted the e-mail account that wasn't displaying mail. (It would show the number of new messages in the red circle, but didn't show any messages being in the inbox when you clicked on the account.) Anyway, after trying to backup everything and deleting the problem e-mail account, I rebuilt the inbox and then re-entered the information for that account to set it back up. After I did this, messages come into the account just fine and show up just like they should.
The file structure looked to be the same as what your finder image shows. When I did the search which let me find the messages, all I noted was that it would say they were either in the Inbox, Sent Mail, Trash, etc. But, once I had them showing in the search window, I could copy them to a saved mail folder and view them without a problem.
Since this wasn't my computer, I'm not sure if anyone tried to change account settings, but not as far as I know. They just said it happened about 2-3 weeks ago.
Thank you for your help. I guess it's going to be one of those computer things that you don't know why it happened, but at least I know what I did that seems to have fixed it.

How to avoid messages going automatically to the archive folder in Apple Mail?

Dear list members, I've been using Apple Mail (version 7.3 (1878.6)) on my MacBook Pro 13" (9,2) (MacOS 10.9.4) for years to integrate my GMail, university, and other e-mail accounts in the imap mode. Since some weeks, Mail is behaving odd: some messages are sent automatically to the archive folder. That's quite annoying, as I have to move them manually back to the inbox folder, and sometimes I mess some messages. I did not change any config in Apple Mail or my e-mails servers. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thanks.

The Archive folder in Apple Mail is linked to the All Mail "label" in Gmail. A label is treated like an IMAP folder, but it really isn't the same thing.
In case you weren't aware, Gmail saves every email you send or receive inside the All Mail label. In Gmail, you can tag a file with multiple labels. So, a file that comes into Gmail appears in two places at once, the Inbox and All Mail. When you trash a file, the Inbox label is removed, but it still remains in All Mail.
Previously, the All Mail label was hidden from you in Mail. Apple has been trying to make Mail work with Gmail, but that hasn't been going well.
I have never had a problem, but I have both Gmail and Apple Mail set up such that any email I trash actually gets deleted and not stored on the Gmail server. I also have it set to no display the All Mail folder at all. This may not be a fix as others have similar setups, but have problems with Gmail.
This is how I set it up. I followed the original article, not the Part Deux article. However, you don't need to change the IMAP path prefixes or the label names in Gmail settings. I just have the part where I configured it to delete the emails when I trash them, and hid all the Labels I didn't care to see in IMAP.
Remember, this may not resolve your problems. I don't know of another "fix."

How to create a new folder within the video folder in media

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create a new folder within the video folder in media. I can easily create new folders within the pictures folder but not in videos.....Why??? Thanks in advance for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:

          Time Machine details may not be accurate.
          All volumes being backed up may not be listed.

          /private excluded from backup!
          /Library excluded from backup!
          /Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
Thanks,

Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder

Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder also.
I thought that it was the other way round, in that the library was not the main entry.
I have 10 project folders and 6 albums and I want to remove the albums and keep the projects "as is"
I am unsure as to how I wound up with albums in the Aperture program.
thanks

Never used the Trash icon either (and generally don't show the Toolbar). But at least the Tooltip is correct:
Now that I think on it, clicking "Trash" _should_ put the item in the Aperture Trash. The confusion comes from the use of "Delete" -- specifically using a key with that label to execute a command that changes based on not only what kind of item is selected, but where the item is located. So in this case (let me parenthetically add I have yet to take part in my morning caffeine ritual) "Delete" in the Tooltip does not equal "press and release the 'delete' key", but rather is used as a verb (rightly, imho).
Not sure what a better design might be, but perhaps at least popping up a window saying, "The selected items are Images in an Album. Would you like to remove them from the Album, or move them to the Aperture Trash (which will delete them from the Project they are in)?".
Greg -- I suggest using the context-sensitive menu (a/k/a "right-click") to select the command you want:

Entourage (Exchange) Account Problem - New messages going to wrong Inbox

In Entourage, there are two sets of Inboxes (folders): one for the Exchange account and the other for "Folders on My Computer"
We desire new messages to deliver & stay in the Inbox for the Exchange account; however, recently new mail messages are delivered to the Inbox under "Folders on My Computer." How can I change this... manage which Inbox new mail messages go to for the Exchange account?

I clicked on a new mail notification and lost my work on the email I was writing.

I'm submitting this already solved because I just about freaked out and may have lost my work for real:
On my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2 I opened the Mail app and browsed to the Drafts folder on my Gmail account. I opened a draft and had written a page or two when I received a mail notification banner. I clicked it and was taken to the incoming mail message. Realizing I hadn't "saved" my draft in any way, I quickly went back to the Drafts folder and opened it up. To my dismay, the draft was as if I had not written those two pages! By God's grace I chose to press "Cancel". I pulled down on the list of drafts to refresh with the server, and opened it again. Voila! All my work was back.
Apparently when I clicked the notification, iOS saved my draft to the Gmail server, but when I went back to my Drafts folder, it opened a cached copy. I'm guessing that if I'd edited the cached copy and saved it, the one on the server would have been overwritten.
I hope this helps somebody.
God bless.

Why does my new iPhone 5s keep taking me back to the Hello screen after I restore instead of home screen?

I've just plugged in my brand new iPhone 5s into iTunes to restore all the info from my old iPhone 4 onto it but instead of coming up with the homescreen with the icons it just brings me right back to the Hello screen and walks me back through the first few questions for Setting Language, Selecting Country, and Choosing a Wi-Fi network and then finally to Set Up iPhone and I select the Restore from iTunes Backup. At that point iTunes gives me the selection on their screen and I restore from backup. I see the Homescreen for a second and then it goes through the whole thing all over again. What's happening?

Are you sure it isn't just going into standby mode, if you touch the screen when it goes black does anything happen?
Perhaps a recent software update has reset some settings.

New window goes back when i click on the link

Hello guys.
i recently face the new problem in IE.
at first when i click on the hyperlink the new window opens fine.
but when i close the windows and try open them again, all new windows open in the back!!
its really wired!!
i test this in Windows xp. seven and 8. in IE 8, 9 and 11.
i really appreciate any kind of help.

new windows open in the back!!
There is an option for that. Try pressing Ctrl+Shift- when clicking on a link (Or just Shift- and click. I think it depends on your Tab settings.
Always switch to new tabs when they are created. E.g. background tab or background window, same effect.
Good luck

Why do i send mails on one of my accounts but the reply comes back to another account all in mail

Have you run Connection Doctor? Click on Window in the menubar, choose Connection Doctor. If that indicates it connect to your ISP provided SMTP, and without Login, then it means that the Authentication of the SMTP should be set to None, and no Username and Password needed. Many times with cable ISPs, the SMTP is actually authenticated based upon the IP address of the modem there provide you, and attempting to use Password authentication will result in failure. Mail is different in this regard as it will not negotiate this, but requires your attention to it.
If Connection Doctor cannot connect, then more info is needed.
