Now all the folders from your mail account should appear.
- To change the behaviour of the default folders of Apple Mail, do the following:
Select the folder you want to edit (f.e. Sent)
Go to Menu > Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For
- Choose the desired function
Different 'Sent' folder: merge them!
- First verify that the IMAP protocol is configured. The wrong alternative is POP, which does not support shared mail folders.
- Especially under MacOS X and iOS, it happens that the individual devices and email applications use different 'Sent'-folder names like 'Sent', 'Sent Messages', 'sent-mail', 'sent_messages', ...
- Best is to configure all devices/email-applications to use 'Sent' as the sent folder. The majority of all email applications use this name as the sent folder.
- If there are already multiple folders named 'sent...':
Configure all of your email applications (=every device by it's own!) to use 'Sent' as the sent folder.
Move (best via https://mail.math.uzh.ch) all mails from the different 'sent...' folders to 'Sent'.
Delete all empty 'sent...' folders. This last step is important for future configuration of email applications/devices: during the setup of a new email applicaton/account, the app looks for existing 'sent' named folders. If there is only one, it will choose the right one as 'Sent' folder by default.
