Automatically sync IMAP account (provider) and LOCAL account (my Mac)

Hi everybody
I've searched a lot but didn't find an answer yet. Maybe someone can give me a hint.
I'm looking for a functionality similar to E-Mail favourites in WIndows. The target is to automatically make a copy of some folders in my IMAP account to my LOCAL account. I need to have access to my old E-Mails even when I'm not connected to the Internet.
Any ideas?

go to mail preferences->accounts->advanced and check the option "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing"->"all messages and attachments". then you'll have them on your mac and will be able to use them even when not connected to internet.
Any ideas?

Try syncing the iPod to to computer and then delete the apps. Next would be to restore from backup

How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

Hi,
May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
MANY THANKS!
Pierre

Sorry if a made mistakes writing in english my mother thong is french

Sync contacts on PC and movies / music from mac?

Hello all,
Looking to jump on the iphone bandwagon when the 3g version drops. But I have a question important to my usage.
Right now I use a PC for all of my business-related stuff, so all my contacts are stored in outlook. But for music / movies, etc I use a mac.
Is it possible to sync my contacts with outlook on my pc, then sync my music / movies from my mac? Sort of a dual-sync setup.
Thanks!

Yes, this is possible.
An iPhone is not formated for one operating system or the other.
iTunes content, and photos transferred to an iPhone can be synced with or transferred from a single computer only.
The sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks is a true sync process - bidirectional, and can be synced with multiple computers - with the supported applications between two Macs, two PCs running Windows, or between a Mac and a Windows PC.
The iPhone includes sync preferences with each computer, but best to disable automatic syncing to change or confirm your sync settings with iTunes on each computer before syncing. You can disable transferring iTunes content, and the same for photos, and enable syncing contact information, and calendar events only via your iPhone sync preferences with your Windows PC. Enable transferring iTunes content and photos from your Mac, and you can sync your contact information and calendar events with your Mac also.

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing to my macs. Syncing via mobile.me and works well from mac to phone

Calendar entries made on my iphone are not syncing in to my ical calendar on my macs. Syncing via mobileme. works well from mac to phone.

I am having a similar problem. I think that my phone actually deleted a couple appointments, as well. Today I entered a repeating event on my phone. It still has not shown up on my MacBook or my iPad, hours later. I believe it is because my iCloud Sync was turned off on my phone. I just checked - It said that my password was entered incorrectly. I think that must have happened when I upgraded to iOS6. I fixed it now and am waiting to see if my iCal sync happens.

Automatically sync IMAP subfolders on the PRE?

I do server-side filtering of incoming emails into a couple dozen subfolders. I have marked the subfolders as "Favorites" with a star. I can see emails in the subfolders, but to receive new emails to them I have to sync manually. I was under the impression that marking the subfolder as a favorite would sync it automatically. Is there any facility for IMAP subfolders to sync automatically like the Inbox?
Our server is Courier-MTA 0.60 and IDLE is on. LMK if I can provide more info.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Thanks for the clarification. It's too bad that the Pre's default email app uses so little of the of the available IMAP capabilities. As for the battery usage problem, that should be up to the individual user to make the choice. I synchronized 25 folders with ChatterEmail and burned through 2 full batteries a day. However, I had email capabilities beyond what any iPhone, gPhone, or Blackberry could offer. Other people in our organization were jealous when I flexed my IMAP muscle.
In a related note, I saw that ChatterEmail's author has moved on to Android development so I guess he's out of the game. Are there any IMAP apps in development that aren't artificially crippled like the Pre's default app?

How do I get Calendar and Reminders to automatically sync with my iPhone and MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion?

For Instance when I add a calendar appointment on my laptop, I want it to automatically appear in my iPhone calendar with the same settings - it does not currently do that.

Are you using iCloud? You'll need to set up iCloud on all your devices and then ensure the items you're creating are in your iCloud account area.

Configure ipage domain imap account with mac mail client

I have a new website with ipage and would like to configure my new domain imap email on my mac mail client. Neither Apple nor Ipage support have been able to resolve why the outgoing server will not send messages. All variations of settings have been tried. I think it may be an SSL issue, but whichever, it must be possible to set up such an account. Anyone? Please?

Shootist007,
I too loaded sparrow and it did seem to work fine with my (multiple) Gmail accounts and the folder/labels looked great (they do allow you to separate your inboxes/labels) with just a keystroke??---What I found was their HELP files were as MINIMAL as their program (fine for the more experienced I am sure)
I spent several hours!!! trying to figure out how to move the inbox messages to the (FOLDERS)??? I gave up!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STEPS FOR DOING THIS I may well try the program again as it did seem to behave with Gmail/multiple accounts/personal domain quite well!
I will download thunderbird and give it a go in the morning
Thanks for the quick response!

I got my ipod for mothers day my daughter put songs on it for me. I bought songs today and they didn't automatically sync to my ipod and if i go to sync it said it will delete existing songs i don't won't to get rid of my music how can i do this?

I got my ipod for mothers day and my daughter as already put some songs on it for me and I bought new songs from itunes and it didn't automaticlly sync to my ipod if i go to sync them it said all my music that is already on my ipod will be deleted. I don;t won't my music my daughter put in it deleted what can i do?

You and your daughter want to enable homeshare in iTunes on BOTH of your computers. Mac or PC. Then you will be able to see your daughter's library. The songs you want to keep just drag to your own library. Then you can diable homesharing if you want. Hope this helps.

When will Apple restore my ability to sync "my"Address book and contacts to "my" Mac not the cloud ?

I asked this question before but Apple deleted it. . . Hmm. . .
freedom of speech?

They may not. This facility was included with 10.8 and below only and I believe was called Sync Services, pls see here for the number of people irritated by this omission and for a possible workaround.
Please post feedback here too.

Not all mails from IMAP account downloaded to Mail

I use an IMAP email account from GMX together with Apple Mail.
After some investigation I noticed, that there is a different number of mails on the server and locally on my Mac.
The Mac has much less mails.
Digging deaper it appears, that there are duplicates on the server which are not synced - hopefully only duplicates.
How did a realize that?
1. number of mails shown in Apple Mail's Account Information is identical to the server information.
2. Selecting all folders and all mails shows a significant difference
Anybody experiencing the same behaviour?
How do I get the missing mails transfered to my Mac?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: OS X 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2

I've run across this problem as well. I'm using a non GoDaddy IMAP account and under 10.8.2 some messages aren't appearing on the computer. They show correctly on the server and two different pre 10.8 computers.
What's odd is that if you select (cmd+a) all the messages and then go to View--≥Display Selected Messages Only, the number of messages and missing ones show up correctly.
I've duplicated this problem on two different 10.8.2 computer installations. Creating a fresh user account and adding the account results in the same behavior. Any ideas? I may try doing a fresh install from 10.8.0 and seeing if that resolves the problem.

SL Mail IMAP account locks server mailbox

I have just installed Snow Leopard and updated Mail.
I have a main IMAP account here at work which I set to access new mail only manually so that I could access the mailbox from home on a different machine or indeed on walkabout at work from my touch ipod without closing Mail down here. This worked fine. Now the account is still set to get new mail manually but in fact is updating automatically and as a result locking the mailbox on the server. It looks like the manual setting does not work.
So what can I do other than shut down Mail every time I leave the room? In the interim I've set up a Pop account instead and deactivated the IMAP one. But I dare not remove the IMAP account and set it up again from scratch, which was my next idea, until someone tells me whether it will delete all the mailboxes on my machine as it suggests.

having the same problems as everyone else, have a aol imap account on mac mail program. pass word is not even being stored in keycain & when i go to mail preferences pass word is not listed under imap account. when i type in my pass word & save it just disappears when i recheck. whenever i restart my computer my postage stamp icon on dock keeps bouncing when i click stamp it asks for pass word. when i type in pass word and check on remember in key chain it does not accept. if i do not check remember in key chain i am ok again but only untill i restart my computer. then i have to go through same process again. i have telephone support with my computer and was on phone for 3 hrs last week but no help yet. was told a report would be sent to engernerring dept. if we are all having problems then i think it is a bug & we might need to wait for a apple software update. just hope i and others have not made problem worse by trying things. if anyone does have a solution to my password problem please get back to me.

Music Videos automatically syncing to iPhone (although I don't know why)

Hi.
I have iTunes 10 and and iPhone 3GS on IOS 5.0.1.
I have purchased a number of music videos from the iTunes store for playing on my Apple TV. But... they are automatically syncing to my iPhone, and taking up space on there, which is annoying. Even when I uncheck the master 'Sync Music' tab on the iPhone's device menu, and uncheck the 'sync music videos' option, they still get onto my iPhone.
I have also purchased films and TV programmes from iTunes, but they aren't causing an issue.
Any ideas? It's really annoying.

Yes. This is what you friend would need to do. He (she) would need to start by saving any photo stream photos on his phone to his camera roll unless they are already there. To do this, he should go to his my photo stream album, tap Select (Edit in iOS 6), tap the photos, tap the share icon--box with upward pointing arrow (Share in iOS 6), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then he should go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. (If he is running iOS 7 he will be prompted to also enter his iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.) This will only delete his iCloud data from his phone, not from his iCloud account. His data will sync back to his phone when he signs back in.
Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone and sign in with your Apple ID to create your new account. Leave all other settings off and do not choose Merge with iCloud if you are prompted (since you do not want his data in your new account). Then tap Delete Account to delete your new account from his phone (and provide your password if prompted to turn off Find My iPhone).
Then your friend can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, sign back in with his iCloud ID and his data will sync back to his phone as it was before.
Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID. Since you are signing into an existing iCloud account this time you will not receive the prompt that your phone is not allowed to create. Then you shoudl be good to go.

ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?
