Why won't emails display in new mailbox I created?

Hi, I wanted to make another mailbox/folder to put specific emails in, did what I've always done, except the ones I've copied to the new box don't sit in the folder, they are only shown on my computer drive, not in the mail window, like all the others! Why is this happening?

Yes, along with all the other ones. However, many have a second, with duplicate names, but with .mbox after it, while some don't, including the one I created. As a workaround I just renamed one of the folders that was working, "delivered", that I never use. However, while I can put messages or copies in it, in my Finder, it is still titled "delivered" even though the correct emails are inside it. It's just this kind of stuff that Apple used to explain, right there in their Help window, you used to be able to go through every program, and when deciding how to set preferences, it told you, line by line what everything meant. Now, it's sink or swim, hunt around for some info here, there, and often end up coming here, posting questions or searching for answers, or sometimes just searching the web. It's very frustrating & disappointing, as Apple used to be well-loved for it's ease of use, and customer service... no more. Something as simple as this should be, I have to end up spending a lot of wasted time & energy, hunting an answer to a very minor question.....

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>

  • Why won't Siri learn my new girls name? She always asks if its "sara" and I have to hit yes

    Why won't Siri learn my new girls name? She always asks if its "sara" and I have to hit yes

    I use exchange and no settings have been changed. Also siri forgets who I am once every two weeks or so and she will only remember my wife's association. Further, in the last two weeks if I asked her to email someone. She will initiate a telephone call. If is say "NO" she initiates a sms and a multitude of other intermittent problems.
    I have performed a master reset and reloaded from a back up before the trouple started and the problem still exists.  The problem is on the Siri side and not in my phone as they also show there ugly face on my I pad 4 synced with the cloud for contact info.
    Perhaps Siri is aware that I got an Samsung Note 10.1 for Christmas.  It is about the right timing.
    P's. Have you tried location reminders?  That fix does not work either.

  • Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc?

    Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc? I can't open existing projects or create new ones. Nothing happens when I try to open a project: alsop, nothing happens when I click 'Create' when trying a make a card, book, etc. All very frustrating.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created??

    In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Why won't emails I send go into my Sent folder?

    I would appreciate some help figuring out the following issue:
    I am registered in iCloud. On an older Mac, I am accessing iCloud via Safari. After logging into iCloud, I see the icons for my Mail, Contacts, Calendar, FMiP and iWork. Mail, Contacts and Calendar seem to be syncing okay between my older Mac (accessing iCloud via browser) and my iPhone - except the following:
    When I send an email (or reply to an inbox email) from my older Mac (iCloud via browser) the email IS sent. However, the email I sent does NOT automatically appear in my Sent folder - either in iCloud via browser or on my iPhone Mail application. This is the problem - namely, sent emails sent using iCloud via browser do not show in the Sent folder.
    As additional information, when I send a new email or reply to an old email USING MY IPHONE MAIL APPLICATION, the message DOES appear in the Sent folder on both my older Mac (accessing iCloud via Browser) and my iPhone.  This works fine, but the reverse procedure does not.
    Why won't messages sent from my iCloud via Browser appear in the Sent folder?  Is there a bug in the Apple software?
    Thank you,
    Dale

    Do you have "Save sent messages in:" checked in Preference > General on icloud.com, and are you looking in the mailbox set in that option?

  • Why won't my mail access new mail?

    All of a sudden everything changed!  The "access new mail" icon is dimmed.  It hasn't gotten new mail for two days.  All my mail IS on my Iphone, but I want to view it on my IMac!  The mail doesn't open when I click the Icon; just the toolbar.  Most of the options for opening my mail are dimmed.  "Open my favorite mailbox" does open the mailbox, but it is formatted differently.  The message doesn't show in the bottom panel.  Why? 
    I have ICloud and Google.  I'm confused about which should be marked as the primary account.  Also, exactly what IS the server?  Is that the WiFi I am using? 
    Help?

    Unfortunately, I emptied the trash [ thinking that it may still be counted even though it was trash]. I don't recall of trashing anything critical. When I moved some files to a CD, I was told that the CD was now full, so I dragged several files back to my home folder with plans to move them to another CD later. When I tried to do that, I found that those files were now an alias and I can't find the originals. I must have put them in the trash but I wouldn't intentionally do that. I have some backup ( Retrospect and Mozy) so I'm hoping to recover them.
    My mail has been working just fine. My home folder was much larger than I thought @ 2.99GB before I reduced it to the present 853.2 MB. I had put in a lot of family photos and that probably started the problem. I'm posting a possible solution offered several years ago to Navarro by Mulder. Any thoughts on this approach? I'm reluctant to try it. -- thanks for your help -- Monty

    Go to Home/Library/Mail and move that folder to your Desktop. Then start Mail and a new mail folder with the accounts that already exist will be created. The new mailboxes will be empty unless there's mail you haven't retrieved still on the server.
    If mail functions correctly, you can then use the Import Mailboxes feature to import selected mailboxes or manually replace mailboxes from the old Mail folder one at a time to find which mailbox was causing the problem.

  • Why is my email displaying as "Holidays in..."?

    I move back and forth between Northern Ireland and the United States frequently for my post-grad. I needed to make a UK iTunes account to download many of the free local taxi cab apps and information apps. (Apple seems to subscribe to the notion that humans live only within arbitrary borders so local apps are not accessible without a regionally specific iTunes account unless the app developer has it approve through all.) Now if I am logged into the US iTunes store, my email displays as "Holidays in Ireland" (which is interesting for many political reasons but I digress) and if I log into my UK account my email displays as Holidays in U.S.. I can only assume that Apple is tracking where we are when we use a specific email and which regional iTunes store we are connected to while making assumptions about that email. First of all, it's incredibly creepy and secondly, it's completely inaccurate. What is the purpose? Why is this occurring and why does it switch?

    I didn't have the Mail->Preferences->Viewing "Mark all messages as read when opening a conversation" checked.  So I guess that wasn't the problem. 
    I have checked "Display unread messages in a bold font" and "Display remote images in HTML messages" boxes and neither actually happens.  I've tried unchecking them and shutting down the computer, then starting up again and checking them and shutting down again etc to no effect.  I've done this several times over the last six months and the email account has never displayed the way it is meant to.
    I have mail accounts for the MacBook Pro (which has OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5) for my iPad3, my iPhone4 and an old MacBook which the kids use.  It's only the MacBook Pro which has the problem.  So I presume that the junk filtres used by my email provider is not causing the problem, as it is only one device that it happens.
    I went onto my old MacBook (which is Snow Leopard) looking for an old email today and noticed that the email displayed properly and it made me realize how irritating it is that the email show as read when they are not.  How confusing even. 

  • HT4623 My iPad is version 5.1.1 and says it's up to date. Yet some apps need a newer iOS. Why won't it get a newer iOS?

    My iPad won't update to a newer version of iOS? What am I overlooking or is this product no longer upgradable?

    If it's the first gen iPad (i.e. the one without cameras) then iOS 5.1.1 is the highest version of iOS that it supports - mine got noticeably slower with iOS 5, I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6 or 7 (it has a slow processor and only have the RAM of the iPad 2, and the 3rd gen onwards have double again).
    Some developers allow you to download previous compatible versions of their apps. If an app is free then you coul try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.

  • Why won't iMac open the cd it just created?

    My intel iMac (07 build) won't play/ open the cd I just burned on it. !
    Older cds I created DO open, just fine.  Why won't this new one open? It is a cd-r.
    Does this mean that the burn did not happen? I have burned a cd-r, cd rw, and dvd - none of them will open.
    iI need to send a cd of my artwork to a gallery to be juried. If I can't open the cd on my iMac, will the galley be able to open it?   In other words - did I burn a cd and my iMac is just acting up?  Or did I NOT burn a cd, and my iMac is acting up?
    The message I get when I try to open the new cd is...." there is a problem. The Media is not supported" 
    and the iDVD icon shows up on the desktop.
    This is day two of my trying to figure this problem out  - can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    artdough

    Use a drive cleaner to clean your superdrive.  See if that works.  If it does, use it every 3 months or so if you do a lot of burning. 

  • How to create an automatic email when a new announcement is created

    Hi,
    In Sharepoint 2013, how can I configure it to automatically send an email to all users when a new announcement is created?
    Regards,
    Stephen.

    You have 2 options
    #1 You can set Alerts at the announcement list level as shown below. In the send alerts to users you can add your user emails or distribution list email and choose email as delivery method. You can choose to
    send Announcements on various actions that are there on the form. This is simple way. This send email the out of the box style. You cannot change that.
    #2 The other option is to use SharePoint Designer and set a workflow on changes and send mail. You can customize the look and feel of it there.
