Q: How do I refresh my IMAP folders on my iPad?

I added a folder on my email account and I want that folder to appear on my iPad with the rest of my folders. How do I refresh the list of folders? I have searched extensively through the forums and don't see an answer.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

A:

In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars if you select the account you can chose whether Notes appear in the Mail app (Notes = 'off') or in the Notes app (Notes = 'on').

    All of these answers, while probably helpful to the OP, don't actually answer the original question. The answers seem to be based on the specific name of the folder (notes) and its meaning to other apps.  But they don't answer the general question, which is "how do I force Apple Mail on an iPhone or an iPad to refresh the list of IMAP folders?"  It is very common for someone to create a new IMAP folder using a different email client, and the Apple Mail client needs to be able to pick that up, either automatically (preferred) or manually using some technique that has yet to be revealed.  --Thanks!

    It will depend upon where the folder is. If it's stored on the account and is on your provider's website then it should be automatic
