Deleting Mail Messages from ALL INBOXES

Post by Your V Gal »

Perhaps I have not researched enough that I don't understand how the All Inboxes works with individual email accounts. I really prefer having all incoming mail in one folder [ie, All Inboxes], this is great. Yet it appears that if I delete incoming mail messages from the All Inboxes folder, they are still in their incoming mail account so I have to delete the same message twice?

I actually would prefer to use the All Inboxes folder to read all incoming mail and not have the individual account folders shown separately below the All Inboxes. I would prefer that the individual email account stay listed as the 'TO' or "FROM' for all incoming and sent email messages so that I don't have to go to the individual accounts to see what I have sent and which account. So am I asking for ALL Inboxes to be a global account? if so, where can I learn more how to set one up?

Is is global. Any action you do to messages from All Inboxes will be reflected to these messages in the particular accounts. You can enable the To column by right clicking on the columns in All Inboxes.

Thank you! I will double-check but I'm pretty sure the deleted messages from All Inboxes does not delete them in the individual accounts. I do know check the 'TO' and / 'FROM' column which is great, unfortunately those columns do not 'stick' with All Inboxes like the individual accounts -- thus my request earlier for that to be fixed. PS - I read that 'global' accounts can only be set up once and it appears when first installing ?? I will search the knowledge base to learn more about global accounts.

EPIM Help/ Search: global / Acct Creation was 1st Link for me: Adding a Mail Acct (look just below 3rd row of jpgs) ... states [ If you create a POP3 account, the last step offers to use the Global folders (left picture) feature. In this case all mail accounts share and use the common set of folders. This feature is not available for IMAP4 accounts.]

Delete IN All Inboxes Deleted Same email in Acct mail, too, for me.....

It also works with my IMAP accounts, which therefore should be IMAP3?

Ok ...
Thought because "This feature is not available for IMAP4 accounts.]" as said above

And why can I use it with my IMAPs as well?

I suggest you to first explore the basic differences in between the methods. Here, for instance: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/off ... ca85d5b1c9.
