I am trying to figure out how to create a mailbox to "save" a lot of my mail messages so it will sync between my desktop, laptop and iPhone through mobileme. I don't want to keep all these messages in my "in box" but that along with trash are the only mailboxes that sync.
When I create a new mailbox it is "on my mac" and doesn't sync. If I get a new computer or reformat, I have to manually move the mailbox folder and preferences or I lose all those saved mail messges.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks

Create folders for the different types of mail -- "Friends", "News", etc. and they will sync. Don't put them under "on my mac", the list should be lower down. Not at the mac right now, but I think if you click on "File" or "Edit" on the menubar you will be given an option to create a new folder. I have done this, created rules to automatically move mail to the proper folder, and they all sync to my iPod, iDisk, etc. (using IMAP mail, obviously).
