Mail sync question - does it do this?

Hi.
I have read the iphone user guide and I am unsure of something.
When Mail is downloaded to my iPhone, what happens if I dont delete them from the phone?
a: Will the mails be deleted from the phone once I have connected the iphone to the Mac and it syncs with the Mail on the Mac once it has downloaded them?
b: Will the mails stay on the iPhone after they have been downloaded to the Mac Mail?
c: Will mail be both on the Mac and the iPhone, which means I have to manually delete them from the iPhone?
Thanks
Glenn

Ok I have answered my own question.
iPhone does not sync mail items - only the mail box settings.
I need to set up an IMAP system to do this.

Mail syncing question

Hi,
the scenario is this:
On my macbook, 10.6, one of the POP accounts is acting strange. It's a BT internet account. Symptoms are it starts to download messages and just gets stuck. Also duplicates are appearing. I've tried deleting the message from the server via webmail, and recreating the account. The messages do reach the iPhone no problem.
So , i'm assuming that there's something lurking inside "My home directory"/Library/Mail.
I'm going to delete this Mail folder, along with Mail preferences.
The question is, can i sync the accounts (one bt internet, the other @me.com) from my iPhone / ipod to the Macbook via either MobileMe or iTunes?
Am i right in thinking that you can sync accounts from a desktop / laptop Mac to an iPhone / iPod, but you can't do the reverse?
Many thanks in advance.

The +iPod touch+ doesn't offer Mail syncing. All it does is sync the account details. Emails are downloaded separately when you next get a suitable WiFi connection.

How can I delete e-mails from one IPad without removing them from other IPads on same icloud? I'ved tried switching off mail sync on all devices but this only works when deleting on IPhone

We have several portable devices and a mini mac on our system and have found that if we delete an email on one device it is removed from others.
We don't want this, but at the same time we need to keep our devices clear of clutter.
It was suggested that switch off the sync mail switch in settings - Icloud, but this only works on IPads & Ipods
anybody got any better ideas ??

HT5361 Mac OS X Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don't recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. Mail 6.6 does not have this problem.

My Mac OS X (with 10.6.8 software) Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don’t recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. When I receive emails from others, I do not see whole image either. I did change "rich text" to "plain text" in message format - no results.
My daughter has Mac (10.8.5) with Mail 6.6, which does not have this problem. Can I install 6.6 instead of 4.6 or do you know other fix?
Help, please?
Thanks,
Andrew

I've been having the same problem now for several months (at least 3-4 if not more). And the frequency of Mail quitting is increasing, several times in a few hours. And as with you, no particular message pops up before hand or not even the beach-ball spinning first and then quitting.
I too have been sending Apple the crash reports. However, I have not contacted Apple Support yet. Hoping to find the answer in this forum, but again, no luck.
If you have found a solution since then, please advise. Or if anyone else out there knows of this issue and can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

Mail sync question

3G doesn't sync with Mail app properly, so it would seem.
On my Mac, I save many messages moved to other folders.
Should I expect to see these other folders on the iPhone or not?
Perhaps I'm going about Syncing the Mail wrong?

The option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing email accounts is for transferring email account settings from your Mac to your iPhone so you don't have to manually create an email account with the iPhone's mail client. This does not sync mailboxes or messages - it transfers email account settings only and is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. This is not possible with a POP account.

Mail sync question for iPhone & Macbook

Does iphone sync with mail on the macbook, to delete messages that are unwanted? or do i have to essentially handle those twice, once when viewing mail on my phone, and then again when I am on my computer?

The phone itself does not sync mail at all, just the settings for the accounts.
If you set up the account as IMAP, then deleting on the phone will delete from the server, which will mirror to the macbook (or however IMAP works).
If you set up the account as POP, then you'll have to handle each email twice.

Email question: I set my Full Name in Preferences/Accounts/Account Information. Why does my name default to a partial version of my name on incoming/outgoing mail? How can I correct this?

I apologize for my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'everything'? The computer name, e-mail accounts, icloud accounts etc?
My work computer (this mac) i use with my private icloud account so I have access to my private calendars etc. My husband's airbook is also connected to that icloud (since I only have 1 icloud account) and so is our shared ipad. Is that where the problem is? Do I need to change everything on those devises into my name too? Thanks again for you time and help!
So you are sharing the account. Very bad idea.
Get your husband his own account and stop sharing yours, they are free.

Exchange 2007 mail account sync with Mail 4.0 does not happen

I am setting up my work exchange 2007 mail account in Mail 4.4. The total size of mail box is ~ 200MB. Folders smaller than 10MB have synced properly and I can see the mails in these folders inside Mail.
However, none of the mails inside folders >10MB are visible in Mail. Activity window in Mail does not indicate that a sync is going on. But I can see that Mail has correctly calculated the folder sizes on server and no. of messages on server (for every folder) in Account Info.
I have waited close to 5hrs hoping that it is probably a slow first time sync, but I am not closer to seeing the mails in Mail.
Any leads to solving this would help.
Thanks

I was having this problem as well with a different host's email account. I was able to get IMAP as an option by holding down the Option key. But then was unable to connect to the server to send/receive mail. Turning off SSL in two places worked:
- Uncheck SSL from the SMTP server settings (click on the SMTP server name & select "Edit SMTP Server List to get to this setting); and
- From the Advanced Options Tab. Also, in Advanced Options, you may need to change the port to 143 (it may be defaulted to 993 since SSL is the default.)

When I sync my ipod to add new material, sometimes itunes will automatically rearrange the song order of my pre-existing albums by number of plays. Why does it do this? And is there a way to stop it?

When I add an album to itunes and subsequently to my ipod, everything is arranged by track number of the album. Sometimes when I sync in order to add new material to my ipod, itunes for some reason automatically rearranges some of my pre-existing material by songs with the greatest number of plays to least (though sometimes it seems to be completely random). When I check itunes on my computer, everything still appears to be in order but the way it appears on the device often is in the previously mentioned disorder. Why does it do this? Is there any setting that I can adjust to make it stop because the only way I've found so far is to delete the rearranged material and re-import the cd and then re-sync. It might sound picky, but I prefer that my music be in order by track number as the artists themselves intended for various reasons the foremost being that I often listen to whole albums from start to finish and this glitch makes such problematic. I have found some settings in preferences that focus on how material is arranged but this seemed to be focused on the actual folders where the music is located on my hard drive and not the way it appears on the ipod. If anyone knows the reason it does this or has suggestions on fixing it, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I'm looking for a voicemail app that will automatically switch over after normal business hours and play an alternate voice-mail message. Does this currently exist?

Voicemail is through your carrier and on their equipment.
It's function and features is set by them, not your phone.

Click on the Apple and then on about this Mac. In the new window, click on the "version 10.9.2" until you see the serial number displayed.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

Hi, Dave.
If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers. I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
I hope that clears up the issue for you.

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.
