In the past, when I would create a new email Mailbox, it would line up alphabetically with the existing Mailboxes. Now when I create a new Mailbox, it shows up at the bottom of the existing list. How do I make the new ones become part of the alphabetical list?
Mac mini (Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Click and hold on the mailbox and drag it to where you want it. A blue line appears where it will be positioned. When in place, release.
Eric, Thank you for that "work around", however, that does not answer the question. I have been having the same problem and came here looking for an answer.
If someone knows how to get ALL new mailboxes to automatically find it's place in the alphabetical order, Please respond to this question,
Thank you!
I don't want a workaround either. I went to the Apple Store, and the Genius said there is no solution to this right now and to post feedback on apple.com. There may be a complex solution, but I wanted a simple one (i.e., defaulting to sort the mailboxes in ascending order, alphabetically). For now, you'll have to drag them into the right order. Or you could switch to a third-party email client (Thunderbird) or a web app (gmail or Google Inbox).
I use Google Inbox in beta, and it's working great! I'll send you an invite, if you like. I think web apps for mail are where we are going in the future of email management.
I've applied for an AppleCare representative position. See how good I could be? :-)
I think Apple may be trying to get us away from the Windows method of storing every email in a folder. I have stopped using folders now for anything, except for projects I'm currently working on. Plus, I archive every message instead of deleting.
