Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Why are my IMAP folders not shown under the Inbox they belong to? Why are they put way below in the sidebar? What's the logic? How to get my IMAP folders to act and behave like it should and works in all other email programs? :(
I got a bit wiser... Apparently, there are 2 kinds of IMAP folders on Mac OS Mail :/
I could move my imap folders back to where they belong (with the Inbox instead of a separate item in the left navigation pane) by going to my provider's webmail (RoundCube in a DirectAdmin environment). THERE I go to Settings - Folders.
Apple Mail's Mailboxes are at the bottom. Select a folder. On the right, you will see options on where that folder belongs. If the Parent Folder is set to "-", it's a pure Apple Mail Mailbox and it will get its own category. If you set the Parent Folder to Inbox, all works as one would expect. No voodoo, no magic. Creating a new Mailbox-IMAP-folder has to be done through the webmail client though... I did not find a way to directly add a real INBOX/IMAP-folder with Apple Mail. BUT when you create them through webmail as INBOX/IMAP-folder, they will show up in Apple Mail.

And PS: how to create new folders? With this new setup I can only view my IMAP folders, not add them... Really makes no sense to me :(
