Creating Email sub folders

I have a Tmobile Dash runniing WM6.1.
I use Gmail and have it correctly set up on my phone.
I would like to create another email folder, like stuff to keep or something like that but when I go to the manage folders page, I can not do anything. No create new folder or anything.
Does anyone know how I can create another email folder for my pop gmail account on my phone?
Thanks,
jeff

i have a question that i need help with too concerning gmail.
i set up the gmail account and i receive gmails just find and send just fine.
the problem is when i delete emails in my received box (and i have the DELETE OFF SERVER option checked under the WHEN DELETING EMAILS option in settings), well they DO NOT delete off the server. its so annoying. HELP!

I just want to be able to create a new folder so when I want to keep an email on my phone, from my gmail account, I can just put it there, and it wont fall off when I download the next three days messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Go to messaging and under your e-mail you setup go to 'tools' and then 'options' and 'Account settings'. Instead of downloading the last 3 days, set it to "keep all." Now your phone and outlook will be synced completely

Yes, it will
If you set the time to manual...the emails will be deleted after your next manual check.
If you have it set to every 15, after the 15 minutes is when they get deleted/

problem with email in tf3d...please help!!!

hello all, i seem to be having a problem with my e-mail in TF3D and was hoping someone would be able to help me...my problem is this, 1, whenever i read an e-mail in tf3d(not opera) it does not register in my actual yahoo acct that it has been read (or deleted for that matter)...also, whenever i send an e-mail using my TF3D (again, not opera) it does not register anywhere on my phone or at the actual yahoo site that i have sent a message...it doesnt appear in sent folder, draft, outbox etc...its like the message was never sent bc theres no visual proof (but the recipient always gets the message even tho its not showing up)...im hoping someone can help me fix these problems bc i love using the tf3d email tab, but i need proof that i sent and received/read this messages...any help would be greatly appreciated

I suppose that your Yahoo account is either setup either via POP3 or IMAP on your device. If you used the HTC Mail Setup wizard, then it's most likely IMAP. Anyway, the point is you're using a pull method to retrieve your mail (as opposed to push).
When you read or delete email from your device, Yahoo doesn't know that. So, that's why it doesn't show up as read/deleted when you check your email via a web browser.
Solution: after you've read or deleted any emails from your device, tap "Menu" and then "Send/Receive".
By default, when you set up email accounts on your device, only the inbox is synchronized with the server. If you want to see items in your "Sent" folder, you'll need to manually set that up. Luckily this is very easy.
Solution: In your inbox, tap "Menu", then "Tools", and then "Manage folders...". Toggle on the folders accordingly.

hey, forst of all i just want to thank u for not only your quick response, but also for your thorough explenation...the only problem is, IVE TRIED BOTH RECOMMENDATIONS!!! (NOT MEANT AS YELLING, MORE LIKE FRUSTRATED)....as far as the deleted messages, i figured that would "update" yahoo so i "resent/rereceived" the messages so it would (hopefully update) but it didnt work...also, nothing is showing up n the sent folder that your talking about on either the phone or on the actual website...its crazy, i really dont understand it...and yes, i do have the little option about saving a copy of sent messages n sent folder checked...any other ideas???

I think I would delete the account and then set it up again manually. Try different port numbers. Better yet. Forward everything to gmail and use it instead. push is awesome (except attachments still don't work right, but imap is easy too).

Creating email folder in WP7?

I did a search in XDA and also in Google and could not find anything relating to how to make a folder in an email account in WP7. Google seems to think any search for Windows Phone 7 is a query for Windows 7.
Anyway, I did it before on the phone, in the beginning, but now am stumped by how to do it. I need to create an email folder. Anyone know?

i haven't found the option for it. i think the only work around at present is to do it from PC, and then sync the new folder to the phone.

It isn't an IMAP account (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo). It's the POP email account the ISP provides with home internet service...or whatever the email accounts are that use Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc. I know I did make several folders initially because those folders are showing up on my phone and they would have no way of syncing with a POP account... Thunderbird email, which I use, doesn't have any way of syncing with the phone. And if it did, I have no user-created folders in my Thunderbird email. If that email account did actually sync, there would be no specific folders.

Delete old emails from Trash ?

So, does anyone have a tip for deleting all the old emails that fill up the Trash folder for accounts ? My old Desire had a 'select all' option......but cannot see anything like this for the Play ?
I have 6 email accounts accessed through the default Email client > when I delete them from the respective (or Combined) Inbox, they go to the respective Trach folder > this takes up space......I removed 457 emails from one account's Trash folder last night, and it took some time !
IIRC, deleting Data in the Applications menu of Settings will clear all account settings too....so that is a non-starter. The overall MB use of Mail was almost completely cleared down after last night's deleting session, but I am really hoping there is a better solution to properly removing lots of mails ???

I will be interested in this also. Having to delete everything and then go to trash and delete it again isn't the best use of time.

the way i removed them, however this may not be efficient for you was to delete the email account i use and then re add it, it will wipe all the mailboxes

One of the more retarded "features" of android, there is no way to "Empty Trash". Just select each one by hand and delete it again. Good luck.

Yeah the stock email app is horrible...
Give one of the other email clients in the Market a try

Thanks for replies......
Shame SE hasn't done something similar to HTC, then, as the Desire had a menu option to (De)Select All, making Trash removal a doddle.
TBH, not sure why the app keeps all the Trash items anyway ?!?!

[Q] email folder location

I have about 8,000 emails in my trash folder. I am using the stock email program that the Sprint Note II came with and the phone is rooted. I can not get the folder to populate so I can delete them.
Can anyone tell me where the emails are stored so I can go in with root explorer and delete them?
Thank you

I figured it out. I had to stop synch on my email accounts to be able to load the trash folder. Minimized each group and checked the box on the left of the group name, then hit the trash can icon at the top of the screen.
Thanks for the help.

I am using the Sprint email. When I look at the trash folder it says there a 7673 emails in that folder. I want to empty it but it crashes before it loads and it needs to load before I can select to permanently delete them.
