1. How to setup calendar on my MACbook Pro linked to my mail app?

   1. The Mail and Calendar Apps will sync with the accounts you have configured in your Internet Accounts settings.

      We do have a guide that will walk you through how to add a CalDAV account for iOS, which is similar to the MacBook Pro’s OSx. I hope this helps!

4. Hi John-Paul,

   Re: your response to Kristin & Robin, I’ve followed your suggestion of reviewing the ‘grayed out options’, and like the others, I don’t have server permissions to change this. Have you or anyone else here been able to determine a work around for this?

   Thanks,
   Hannah

5. So I did the above, but is there a way to find a sent email from before you did this? I am looking for an email that I sent before. or is it gone?

   1. Hello Darcy,

      You may be able to locate it in the server itself, but I cannot say for Macmail. My assumption is that it works from the point you set it forward and that nothing would be reroactive.

6. Hi, 

   I just did this and it works like a charm. BUT I now can’t seem to find my sent emails in the original folder? Have these been deleted 🙁

   Please advise.

   1. Hello Mattias,

      Thank you for your question. After following the above guide it should begin to save your sent email going forward.

      As long as you are subscribed to your IMAP folders in Mac mail, you will see everything that is stored on the server.

      If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.

      Thank you,

7. what do I do when the options under Mailbox- Use This Mailbox As- are all grayed out and I am unable to select “Sent”?

   1. Hello Kristin,

      Thank you for your question. I found a helpful post about grayed out options in mac mail. In that page they explain it can be controlled by the server, stopping you from modifying the folders.

      This should not be the case if you are hosted with us. Let us know if you are, so we can investigate it further.

      If you have anymore questions, feel free to post them below.

      Thank you,
      John-Paul
