Is there a universal name which should be used for "Trash" messages?
E.g when testing the same email account on Thunderbird, Outlook and iPhone. When deleting a message they all move this into a different named folder.
No, the IMAP standard does not dictate the name for folders. There are some extensions used by some servers (notably GMail's XLIST) to help with this problem.
Most email clients can be reconfigured to use a different folder. For example, in Thunderbird's account settings, you can change the option "move deleted mail to [folder]". Apple Mail has a "Use this folder for Trash" menu item.

I am trying to pull the settings for Email Enabled libraries in powershell for SharePoint 2013 in preparation for a move to SharePoint Online. I can pull the email enabled lists, urls, and email address but want to get a more detailed report to review which have "save original email", "save to subfolders" etc, and "Accept messages from any sender"
In 2013 you can enable sharepoint libraries to be email enabled and further set the two settings below, which i cannot figure out how to pull.
i can get lists and get $list.EmailAlias and $list.CanReceiveEmail but cannot find a parameter that corresponds to the two settings below
E-mail Message
Specify whether to save the original .eml file for an incoming e-mail message.
Save original e-mail?
option: Yes
option: No
E-Mail Attachments
Specify whether to group attachments in folders, and whether to overwrite existing files with the same name as incoming files.
Group attachments in folders?
Save all attachments in root folder
Save all attachments in folders grouped by e-mail subject
Save all attachments in folders grouped by e-mail sender
Overwrite files with the same name?
Yes No
E-Mail Meeting Invitations
Specify whether to save e-mailed meeting invitations in this document library.
Save meeting invitations?
Yes No
E-mail Security
E-mail security policy:
Accept e-mail messages based on document library permissions
Accept e-mail messages from any sender
I reviewed the autopopulate values in powershell ISE but none of them seem to correspond. I expected this would be a simple selection of the parameter as with $list.EmailAlias and am hoping we do not have to check each of the 150 libraries manually.
I'm trying to append sent emails to the "Sent" folder in different email accounts running in different servers (yahoo, gmail, outlook, etc.)
For that purpose, I'm using the imap_append function where I have to give the name of the folder I want to append the emails.
The problem is that every account has different folder naming and languages. For example, Gmail has [Gmail]\Sent, a Spanish Yahoo account has Enviados, etc.
Is there a solution for this? I have tried to send the emails to INBOX.Sent but not working at all.
Is the only solution asking the user to define his "Sent" folder?
Edit:
I have checked the tags for the [Gmail]\Sent folder in a Gmail account and I don't know why it has no \Sent flag defined. How are mail clients supposed to know that the sent emails should be copied here?
When I sending email by thunderbird the same leaves a copy in gmail in sent folder.
How can I leave the copy only in thunderbird or in my pc?
Try to setup a filter Gmail to erase your sent messages. Make a filter with your email address in the "From" field.
In Thunderbird ,
Options -> Acoount Settings -> Copies & Folders
in the box "When sending messages, automatically "
tick the box Place a copy in
and select options in " "Sent" Folder on" to ,your Thunderbird mail address or Local Folder
I've recently switched from using Outlook.com for my business emails to Gmail for Business.
Does anyone know how I can migrate my old emails in Outlook.com to Gmail? I can't find any import or export functions on either site.
There is mention of using TrueSwitch, but that has been deactivated. Note: I need to migrate from Outlook.COM, not the desktop Outlook. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks!
You can do this if you own a computer: connect both accounts to your favorite e-mail client (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird) via IMAP, and move or copy the folders from one account to the other. You'll also need a decent connection if you have a lot of data (your e-mail client downloads the old mailbox's contents to your computer and uploads it back to the new one).
As #askchipbug says:
Install Thunderbird
Edit > Account settings
Bottom left Account actions > Add mail account
Leave configuration as IMAP (remote folders)
Repeat for your second account.
Voila - both accounts AND folders appear in Thunderbird
In your former account in Thunderbird, highlight the folders you want to copy
Drag them to your other account
Have a cup of tea while the emails/folders all copy over
Note: It may take a while for all your emails to be seen in all folders by Thunderbird...
1) install thunderbird, like the man says.
2) edit > account settings
3) Bottom left account actions > add mail account
4) here's the kicker - leave configuration as IMAP ( remote folders)
5) repeat for your second account.
6) Voila - both accounts AND folders appear in thunderbird
7) In thunderbird, highlight the folders you want to copy
8) drag them to your other account.
9) have a cuppa while the emails/folders all copy over.
note: it took a while for all my emails to be seen in all folders by thunderbird...
I am about to migrate all of my email accounts to using the IMAP protocol instead of the POP protocol. The problem I have is that the folders I currently have in Outlook have email in them from multiple accounts. So for instance I have a folder called 'Enquiries' which includes emails from 'enquiries#company1.com' and emails from 'enquiries#company2.com'
Is there a way to combine folders from multiple IMAP email accounts that are on my server? Or do I have to have separate folders for each account? Can I have one large 'PST' file on my server to hold all of my email accounts?
Additionally, if I open up Outlook on my laptop, will I be able to see all of my emails from the past even if I lose my internet connections? Is this what 'Idle' mode is for?
IMAP supports sharing. But folders belong to a user. So it's unusual to want to do what you have described.
If you want the mail to appear in the same folder, I'm pretty sure you will need to configure your mail server(s) to direct all incoming mail for those two addresses into the same user/folder.
PST files are not an IMAP thing - they're a proprietary Microsoft thing, so no, you can't do that with IMAP.
As for lost internet connection, this should be straight-forward for you to test. Simply disable your internet and see what happens. Try it with messages and folders that you have and haven't previously opened.
This Microsoft article about working offline makes me think that you won't be able to view existing messages.
