2 Mail accounts Contacts sync question

My Wife has a list of contacts in her yahoo mail account, I have my Contacts in Windows Mail, is it possible for each of us to sync only our respective mail contacts ?  We have a lot of duplication right now with both accounts being synced to both phones.
Thanks

1 - MERGING contacts between outlook and iphone. Meaning, when I bought the iphone, I imported contacts from outlook into the iphone on my first sync. But then I added some contacts through my iphone. there don't seem to be any settings to "merge" the two?
When syncing contact info the first time with a supported address book application on your computer that is being used - it includes contact info, and the iPhone includes contact info that was manually entered on the iPhone, a merge prompt is provided merging the data between the two.
When syncing contact info the first time with a supported address book application on your computer that is being used and the iPhone does not include any contact info, the contact info in the supported address book application on your computer is transferred to your iPhone.
After the initial sync with the supported application on your computer either way, contact info should be kept synchronized between the two. Enter a new contact in the supported address book application on your computer, the newly entered contact is transferred to your iPhone's address book when syncing. Enter a new contact in your iPhone's address book, the newly entered contact in your iPhone's address book is transferred to the supported address book application on your computer when syncing.
Were the contacts that you entered in your iPhone's address book not transferred to Outlook when syncing?
If so, are you using Outlook 2003 or 2007?
2 - In the same line, how do I make settings to give one priority over the other? Meaning, if I want my iphone to take SOLELY the contacts from my computer/etc ... I know on my palm there were all these options of which to give priority to/etc .... Thanks!!!
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, you can select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync. There is not an option to do the same in reverse.

  • How to sync multiple mail accounts contacts

    Please help
    How could you sync a pop mail account 2x gmail accounts and a imap accounts contacts is this possible?

    Scroll way down Mail's side bar. You should find the sent-mail folder down there somewhere. To bring it up to the top with your other accounts' sent folders, select it, and choose Use this mailbox for -> sent under the mailboxes menu.

  • Calendar and Contact Sync question

    I have been playing around with my droid 2 global for about a month now and just decided to see if I could get the contacts in my phone synced to my gmail. I have a lot of phone numbers in my phone but are not in my gmail account. The question is can I send my contacts in my phone to my gmail account?  My assumption, just from what I have noticed, is that the droid 2 only has the ability to pull from the account not push to it. Is that a wrong assumption?
    On to the calendar question. I have multiple calendars setup on my gmail account (mlb, nfl, college football, etc). For some reason the only calendar that syncs up is the US Holidays calendar. Is it possible to get the other calendars to sync with the droid calendar? If this is possible could someone please walk me through the process.
    I have poked around on couple forums trying to solve these issue but have not seen anything addressing my questions, unless I have overlooked it.
    Thanks,

    You are able to export your contacts and import them to your Gmail account. Below is a very good post that will provide you the steps to export the contacts using Backup Assistant and then import them to your Gmail account.

    Please note, you must have Backup Assistant on your device to be able to export the contacts. 
    In regards to the calendar, you can view other calendars by following the steps listed below: 
    1. Select the Calendar icon
    2. Select Menu
    3. Select More
    4. Select Calendars
    5. Select the calendars that you want to display

  • Exchange E-mail account is syncing with inbox on computer.

    I am a new iphone user. On my blackberry I was able to get my e-mail then decide if I wanted to delete it both on my handheld and inbox. On the iphone if I delete it on the phone then it deletes it from my inbox which means I have to leave a bunch of messages on my phone. How do I set it up where they don't sync?
    Thanks!

    Do I not have that option with the Iphone? When I setup my exchange e-mail account it doesn't give me the option to set it up as a POP.
    As I understand it, it's not possible to set up an Exchange email account as POP. It's Exchange. Blackberry runs all email through it's own servers and things work rather differently. Part of the point of Exchange (and IMAP) is to keep things in sync across devices. So, it's working as it's supposed to. A work around would be to set up another folder so that you could move email out of your Inbox instead of deleting it. Then, you could delete it at your leisure from your computer.

  • New mail account not syncing calendar...?

    We are switching over our mail account from OWA as our company has been sold. We use a company called CourseTrends for all our domain hosting/marketing tools. They use Squirel Mail. I have successfully backed up my emails from OWA to Outlook, and, while not perfect, the data is there. Now, I'm trying to setup my email to my iPhone 6 (and my boss' iPhone 6 Plus). I can get the mail setup, but our calendars do not come over. In settings, the option to sync my calendar isn't even there. I've setup countless emails to my phone from gmail and my own accounts from iPage and Powweb (I know powweb used Squirel Mail, too).
    Am I missing something obvious here? Tried to download the outlook app and couldn't get that to sync at all (the more I read, the more I realized that might not be the solution anyway).
    Help, please?

    can you receive email on that account? send one to that account from .mac as a test.
    what are the outgoing mail server settings, which port are you using, 110? go to mail>preferences>accounts, select that account for which you are having issues, and check the smtp server - outgoing - select it from the list, click edit list and look what the detail info is on both panes, account info and advanced.
    i would double check the settings for that account again, making sure they are correct, then if that does not work, i would change the outgoing port and try others that your isp may suggest.
    let me know and hope this helps

  • Old deleted mail account sometimes syncs

    I had an old mail account, that has been deleted for a long time, that the mail program every once in a while tries to sync...any ideas on how to have mail fully delete it?

    Hi again,
    I've never seen this happen before, but it sounds like it might have something to do with corrupted preferences. How often does this phantom account try to sync? If it's fairly frequent, then you might try quitting Mail and temporarily moving ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Mail.plist to your Desktop, and restart Mail to test. Before you do this however, make a backup of your ~/Library/Mail/ folder just in case.
    You'll be prompted for account details, so just go through it as per normal and wait for the phantom account to sync. Once you're done testing, quit Mail and replace the original .plist file.
    At the same time, look in Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/) to see if there is an entry associated with this phantom account. If so, try removing it as well. For this purpose, the search field in the toolbar is helpful.
    I'll keep looking around. Post back if I find anything.

  • How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

    I'm not sure how to set it up so  my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.  This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
    Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

  • Outlook Exchange and Contact Sync, QUESTION!

    We've just added iPad 2's to our sales force.  Prior we were just PC and Blackberry.  Now the team is using their own smartphones (some still have their Blackberry), an iPad and no longer have their company PC's. 
    In the past, if we entered contact information into outlook or the Blackberry, they of course automatically sync.  When activating company email on the iPad, all existing contacts synced to the iPad.
    However, now upon entering a contact into the iPad, it no longer will Sync to the Blackberry..... BUT when you enter a contact into the Blackberry, it does transfer to the iPad.
    Whats happening here? LOL

    As others have said in your other posts, no one here knows or can say what Apple is working on.

  • Don't want mail account to sync with online email account

    I just got a new mac mini and will soon quit using my imac that I bought around 2006 10.6.8.
    I am setting up Mail.
    Can I get it to work the way my old mail did.
    The problem
    In the past my gmail would download to mail and if I deleted an email on my computer in Mail, it would delete.  I have 1172 old emails online on my gmail account and I want to keep them there.  Now when I deleted the messages that downloaded on my computer mail program, they reappear.  It seems as if it is syncing with what is online. 
    My husband's yahoo account downloads to Mail.  Before I only got what was in his inbox.  Sometimes people send me mail to his address, this way I have can check this on my computer.  When I set up his yahoo account in Mail, all of his folders and emails downloaded.  No big deal, I could delete the emails and they still remain on his online yahoo account.  The problem is that it downloaded all of his folders and mail won't let me delete the folders. 
    It's nice to have the new mini mac but I have to figure out what is different, especially on programs that I use a lot.
    backed up my documents, music and photos and more on an external hardrive.  I would like to transfer folders and the emails they contain from the old mac.  Does anyone know how I find them?  I basically put all the files in home folder on the external drive.  I didn't know if I would find them under Library or what.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had it set as imap and did not realize it.  it was Pop that I wanted.  Now it is pop and I am getting what I want.  Thanks. 

  • Facebook contacts sync question

    Hi
    I have had my iphone 4 for a week now, and have no problems with it.  However today I went into my phone contacts and all my facebook friends are listed there too. I REALLY hate this, and want them gone and just all the phone contacts I initially set up to remain.  How do I remove them?
    Thank you.

    I've just realised this may have something to do with accessing I tunes on the phone yesterday.  I have the sync option in facebook turned off, its e-mail adresses that have come up in contacts.  I need rid of them!

  • Msn mail account not syncing with iPhone 4

    My msn email won't sync with my iPhone 4. It used to, but ever since the apple upgrade I've lost the ability to use my email through my phone. I can no longer send emails, look at emails that are moved to specific folders, or move emails to any folder (no folders are showing up except junk or trash).. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mail and have gone to a Verizon store for assistance only to be told after an hour of them looking at it, that they had no clue how to help me. My email is completely useless on my phone and that is unacceptable. How can this be fixed?

        Hi jhawk70,
    I'm so sorry to hear about any trouble with getting your MSN account to work on your iPhone. I completely understand how frustrating that can be! I definitely want to make sure we can get you connected again.
    Are you still on iOS6 or have you upgraded to iOS7? Are these the steps you're following: http://bit.ly/1mND5pF
    Keep us posted on the details so we can get this squared away!

  • IOS Exchange Account Contact Sync Issues

    Issues: (1) Duplicate, Triplicate, Quadruplicate, Quintuplicate Contact Entries (2) Erratic Proliferation (3) New Inputed Contacs Disappear, Reappear and Disappear, never to be registered in the exchange service. (4) Problem started with iOS 5. More Info: iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and iPad1. One Windows 7 desktop and One Windows 7 notebook. Microsoft Office 365 Online service.
    For years I have been using Exchange to sync my e-mail, calendar and contacts, across my windows machines and my ios devices. Since some months ago, my contact entries started to profilate erraticaly on my iPhone and iPad, some times duplicating and other times triplicating or quintuplicating all or some of entries. The solution was to UNCHECK and RE-CHECK sync contact information inside the mail settings of the ios device. Number of entries were not affected in Outlook or the Online Web Server. Most recently, contacts inputed in the iOS device, on the road, disappeared, reappeared and disappeared again in the iOS device, never to be registered by the Exchange server, losing vital information.

    I noticed that you have all mentioned iPhone 4s, to be the ones with this issue.  A handful of my end users just upgraded to the new iPhone 4s and they are having this issue.  However, one of the users with the issues still uses their iPhone 4 for international and that one works fine.
    My iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.1.1, my MBP 17" 2010 model running Lion they both work fine with both Office 365 and Exchange 2010. 
    This may just be an issue with the iPhone 4s.  Since ActiveSync just synchronizes, then it's skewing up the Contacts folder, hence spreading it to the other devices.
    Microsoft is holding Apple responsible, since other devices with EAS work just fine, and Apple reps claim that this will be resolved in the next update; how long must we have to wait?!?!?

  • Mail Account info sync

    When a new email account is set up on my laptop and then I sync iphone (sync email yes) is the new account info supposed to get into the iphone? It seems not and I have to re enter all the account info into my iphone... am I missing something? I'm not using mobileme and have emails as pop accounts...

    The email accounts available should be in the window below the sync email accounts selection under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Is the new email account available under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is the new email account selected?

  • TS4062 Contact Sync Question - iPhone to Macbook Pro

    I made a change to one of my contacts on my iPhone.  After I connected my iPhone to my Macbook Pro, started iTunes and clicked sync and allowed sync to finish, why does the change that I made not appear in the same contact on my Macbook address book?

    Hello jonhurd,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
    If you have problems syncing, try syncing only certain information. For example, deselect the Sync checkboxes on the Music, Photos, Podcasts, and Video panes, and try syncing only Info.
    Have a nice day,

  • Enterprise contacts sync question.

    If you're syncing all your contacts through an enterprise server supported by your employer and then leave the company, will your contacts stay on your iphone or be removed when your profile is removed from the enterprise server?  If there's a chance of losing those contacts how can you save them before you're taken off the enterprise server?
