Having used MS Outlook for a while with my IMAP account, I thought I would try out the new and improved Mail in OS X Lion. The structure of my mailbox on the left hand panel is as follows:
MAILBOXES
INBOX
CLIENT 1
CLIENT 2
CLIENT 3
SUBFOLDER
SUBFOLDER
SUBFOLDER
CLIENT 4
CLIENT 5
CLIENT 6
CLIENT 7
SENT
TRASH
MY COMPANY NAME
TRASH
JUNK
SENT
This has worked fine with Outlook, and with Outlook I am able to add extra IMAP folders (or mailboxes as Mail calls them). In Outlook I can add to the client folders, and the subfolders inside a client folder.
However, with Mail, when I add a new mailbox, it will only let me add a new folder inside one of my client folders. It will not let me add a folder to the "Client" level.
If I add a new mailbox, and try and place it at the top "Client" level, the new folder ends up going here:
MAILBOXES
INBOX
CLIENT 1
CLIENT 2
CLIENT 3
SUBFOLDER
SUBFOLDER
SUBFOLDER
CLIENT 4
CLIENT 5
CLIENT 6
NEW FOLDER DOESNT APPEAR HERE
CLIENT 7
SENT
TRASH
MY COMPANY NAME
TRASH
JUNK
IT APPEARS HERE INSTEAD???
SENT
It doesn't go in my inbox.
Can anyone help? This is the reason I have to use Outlook, as Mail won't let me create new IMAP folders at my "Client" this level.
Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I am looking at it from the wrong side, as I am used to Outlook.
