Comments on: Apple Mail Rules and IMAP folders http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/10/29/apple-mail-rules-and-imap-folders/ Tips and add-ons to make Apple Mail / Mail.app even better Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:04:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Chris Brown http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/10/29/apple-mail-rules-and-imap-folders/#comment-48175 Chris Brown Wed, 13 Dec 2006 21:01:39 +0000 http://www.hawkwings.net/?p=280#comment-48175 I had the same prob just last night, as I've been setting up an IMAP account using Mail. Fortunately for me I had already had one folder expanded when I first went to set up the rule, so I could see that one open in the list, but not the others. When I went back and expanded the folder in the drawer, the subs became available in the rules gizmo. (tech speak, sorry) I think this is a bug, personally. If the rules gizmo can see the parent folder, and already 'knows' there are children, but can't display them unless you go and unwhirl them in the drawer, what good is that? Bug, bug, big ugly bug.

I just double-checked on my copy of Mail, and I can assign a rule to a folder at any depth down the submenus. Erm… you do know this is a heirarchal menu?
