I just converted from nsMail to nsMail Pro to get IMAP access to all folders (INBOX, SENT and DRAFT) from multiple clients (Windows PCs and a Smartphone.) I've looked through the options available in the Webmail interface and in the support and forum areas including these links:
http://www.emailuserguide.com/ http://www.emailuserguide.com/07-setup-imap.htm http://www.emailuserguide.com/07-howto-set...il-software.htmand cannot locate any detail on how to access or map folders to IMAP clients. I tried installing the Outlook plug-in but it cannot be used if an Exchange server is already in use - so that's not an option.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
When your account is flagged as IMAP in Outlook it should automatically sync folders. The only difference is that Webmail and Outlook use two different folder names for “Sent” items. In Outook it’s called Sent Items, and in Webmail it’s called Sent. So the items that are sent via Outlook are not sync'd unless you set up a rule to copy them to the Sent folder under the Inbox. Here are instructions on how to do that:
Outlook 2003
Open Microsoft Outlook 2003.
Click the Tools tab in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
From the Tools menu select the option for Rules and Alerts.
From the window that pops up select the E-mail Rules tab.
Choose the option for New Rule.
On the next page select the radio tab that says Start from a blank rule.
In the window below you will then click Check messages after sending. Click the Next button at the bottom.
The box at the bottom of the screen should say Apply this rule after I sent the message, Click Next.
A pop-up box may appear that says: This rule will be applied for every sent message. Is that correct? You will push Yes.
In the section labeled Step 1 check the box that says move a copy to the specified folder
In the section below labeled Step 2, click the hyperlink that says specified.
You will then locate the IMAP account that you set up and choose the Sent folder.
Click OK
On the next screen click Next.
The next page that appears will be the Rules Wizard page. Click the Next button again.
On the next page you will have to follow the following three steps;
a. Step 1 will have you name the rule. (e.g., Sent folder, Sent items, SMTP, etc.)
b. In Step 2 you will check the box that says Turn on this rule.
c. Step 3 will then have your rule in it. Click Finish
You may get a pop-up, if you do choose OK.
On the next screen click the OK button again.
Once you complete these steps any E-mail that you send will be copied to the IMAP sent folder.
Outlook 2007
Open Microsoft Outlook 2007.
Click the Tools tab in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
From the drop down options click the option that says Account Settings.
This will bring you to the accounts you have on Outlook. Double click the IMAP account you are working with.
From this screen you will need to click on the button that says More Settings.
A box will appear that says Internet Email Settings. From that box click the Folders tab.
Once on the Folders tab you will chose the second radio button, which says, Choose an existing folder or create a new folder to save your sent items in this account for.
By clicking the plus(+) sign(s) you will be able to expand your folders until you can see the Sent folder.
Click the Sent folder.
Click Ok. Followed by Next.
Finally, click the Finish button.
Once you complete these steps any E-mail that you send will now be copied to the IMAP sent folder.
