Whence my VIP mailbox?

All of a sudden I have a mailbox "VIP".  I never put in place, and I didn't know it could exist. There is another mailbox on the inside, the same name as one of my email addresses.  I cannot remove it and does not know where it comes from.  There are no emails in each folder.

Any help to solve this mystery is appreciated!

What email provider do you use?

Some providers will automatically add mailboxes mailbox for you service. Yahoo, for example, is known to add a folder of VIP.

These records may or may not be removable, but usually come from servers of your ISP and only through their webmail website can you manage them.

  • VIP mailbox empty

    My vip mailbox is empty. When messages arrive VIP, they land on the Inbox and are marked as unread. I see a similar number of unread messages in the folder of vip. But when I go to the vip mailbox, I don't see any mail.

    Thank you.

    A VIP mailbox is actually a saved search. You will find messages by searching for the sender name or e-mail address?

  • Mail vip list does not display messages from all mailboxes

    When I first put in place, I remember having the option to display the messages in all mailboxes - a really useful facility VIP. Recently, I noticed that most of my personalities was empty, but the messages were still there in their individual files. I followed the advice of aid to click Sort by Date, and then choose 'all the mailboxes' but this option does not appear. Moving messages of certain dignitaries other files back to Inbox makes it immediately visible in the Vips. So now, if I want my VIP lists for any use I leave everything in my Inbox, which is just chaotic and defeated the object to have folders for businesses, etc. It's only happened recently - it is connected to an upgrade or something similar, I wonder?

    Hi Boxmakermichael,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you're having these problems with mail. If you encounter problems with the function of VIP mailbox in Mail, you can find the information in the following articles useful:

    Address postal (El Capitan): search for messages from senders of VIP

    Mail (El Capitan): Mailboxes clever use to organize messages

    By default, the built-in VIP mailbox only checks emails from VIP which are currently in the Inbox, not in other boxes to letters or records either locally on the server. If you have e-mail set up a rule to move emails from specific VIPs in their own folders (or are moving them manually), it is probably why you don't see them in the VIP mailbox and why they reappear when you your choice in the Inbox.

    See the 'All the mailboxes' option "Sort by Date", you must select the individual mailbox the VIP under "VIP".  If your VIP example is 'Joe', select the 'Joe' mailbox then you will see the option "all the mailboxes.

    If you don't want not organized these emails in separate folders and view them all in a folder of VIP, however, there is a fairly simple solution. As mentioned in the article above, the integrated VIP mailbox is simply a mailbox smart who is set to pick up the mail of VIPs in your Inbox. While you can't change the settings of this particular mailbox, you can create a new box smart letters (called, for example, 'VIP'), where the only criteria is "Sender's VIP", without any limitation on the message tracking. This should then display all of your emails from senders of VIP, regardless of what box mailbox or a folder they are in. I hope it's useful and please let us know how it works.

    See you soon

    General options for limiting unwanted e-mail:

    -To teach the Mail what you consider as spam.

    -Create mail rules that automatically organize and dispose of your incoming emails;

    -Set up the VIP mailbox, so you can prioritize which emails you should pay immediate attention

    And one that is often forgotten, visit the web portal of your email provider and:

    -Set your spam filters/rules;

    -Update your address book.

  • Is there any way/application control e-mail notification so I receive notifications for emails that meet certain criteria only?

    Turning the email notification is a nightmare, I'll end with so many jump on my watch

    Hello

    When you use iCloud as your e-mail account, you can configure your watch so that you are notified only on e-mails from certain senders. All other e-mails can still be read on your watch, but you will not be notified as they are received.

    • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > E-mail:
      • Under alerts, type in iCloud > if off view alerts to iCloud > return to the previous screen (tap Mail at the top left of the screen);
      • Under alerts, type on VIPs > turn on display the alerts of VIPs (also activate Haptic and sound).
    • Apple Watch will now offer only alerts for emails from VIP.
    • To add a contact to VIP on your iPhone:
      • In the Mail application: open an email > press on name of the sender (from: xxxx) > tap Add to the VIP, or;
      • In the Mail application, in the view of mailbox: tap the arrow and 'i' icon at the far right of the VIP mailbox > on the next screen, press Add VIP... > choose a contact in Contacts.
  • VIPs file not shown in MacOS Sierra mail

    Since the upgrade to Sierra (Version 10.12), I can't see the normal (with star) VIP folder and mailboxes for each VIP under the level of the macOS Mail Inbox (to Version 10.0 (3226)). Upgrade deletes the folder? I am not sure when the VIP file is missing. Is it possible to recreate it?

    I tried to choose the e-mail mailbox > rebuild after having poking around the VIPs folder in my iCloud email account. A few hours later, the VIPs file now appears in the list of boxes to macOS Mail letters and seems to work fine. I suspect that the reconstruction has contributed, but do not know for sure.

  • Don't have a VIP under e-mail notifications

    on one of my IPhone under Notifications 6 > mail > [mailbox specific] I don't have a VIP option.  Why is this? Has anyone seen this?

    To be honest, I'm not sure.  But since no one else took stabbed again, I have some suggestions.  The simplest thing is to first try a restart early / forced:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Maybe it is not because no one is in your list of VIP.  Tap the Mail icon and see if VIP appears there and if someone is included in your VIP list by clicking on the symbol of the info here.  Just a thought.

  • Can I get rid where hide VIP and Flagged areas in Mail?

    As always, trying to make the best use of the screen space: can I remove, hide, or move the VIP and mailbox with flag in the mail?  I never use them and they lose screen space.  I'd be happy to force just under the mailboxes that I don't want to see...

    None of these mailboxes should show unless you actually have some contacts listed as a VIP and marked messages. These contacts him remove VIP label and remove the flagged messages. Deselect the mailbox store, and then restart the Mail. They should disappear.

    You do not have. You must remove the VIP status to all who come in contact with you. Right-click on the sender of the email in the mailbox and choose to remove VIP.

  • mail function VIP works do not (el Capitan)

    When I get an email from a sender tagged VIP, I get an indicator unread for this user, but there is no mail in the mailbox. When I find and read e-mail, the light goes off.

    The problem is that the e-mail address must be accessible via this mailbox as if it were in Yosemite.

    I opened a ticket about this when I first installed 10.11, but now there are two patches and it is still not fixed. Please fix because it is a very nice feature.

    I've updated to macOS Sierra and have some problems with the mailbox. Whenever I try to send a large file via icloud/send the message that the mail cannot be sent via icloud since the file is too large and only 28.3 MB can be sent.

    Well, as usual.  Thanks for all the useful responses.  He's staring at me, but WHY this happens is still a mystery.  Well not really a mystery, the Sierra is a mess.

  • Column width of the mailbox in the Mail of Sierra application

    Hello everyone,

    After the upgrade to Sierra, everything went well, but a strange and annoying defect in the Mail application: I've enabled the display of three columns (mailboxes, the list of messages, the content of the Message). Well, the column of the mailbox does not keep its width, restore continuous width stretched, whenever I close the application window.

    If I expand the column to display the full name of my multiple email accounts, this preference is lost whenever I close the window. Strangely, if I exit the application without closing the window and then that I raise, the width is maintained, but it is ready to be reinstalled the next time I have everything simply close the window... is possible to make it permanent? The other two columns do not exhibit this problem and their width is however maintained, even if I close the window or quit the app...

    Thanks for your suggestion,

    Enrico

    Hi Enrico,.

    I understand that you are having problems with the column width of mailbox remaining the same size when you close the Mail application window. I use the Mail app all the time so I can understand your concern. We will be that we can do.

    Since this problem occurs in your main user account, please start the Mac in safe mode, connect as user principal and then add to your account e-mail and then test it. Once you have tested out, just restart your computer to find your main office.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem persists in safe mode, please test this point to a different user account. This will help determine if the problem is the system level or a specific user.
