Best Email Sync options

right about to jump ship to Iphone.
currently running blackberry with enterprise server.
if i switch to iphone whats the best email option? syncing?
should i go .mac?
is it completely compatable?

Don't know what the best option is, but these work for me:
For mail
1. I connect to an exchange server via Imap (work) which auto-updates very 15 mins (or can manually update)
2. I have a pop connection to Gmail
3. I have an Imap connection to my home mail server
I could use .Mac to sync my Mac mail, but doesn't add anything
For contacts and calendar, I sync from Outlook on my work PC (Windows, boo!). I'm still experiementing to work out whether I'm better using the iPhone to sync up my Mac iCal/Address Book, or whether to use Plaxo (free, syncs iCal, Address Book, Outlook, loads of other stuff.
For tasks, I sync Outlook at work to Plaxo, and then use Safari on the iPhone. Not great but better than a poke in the ey with a sharp stick

Email sync options

Can someone recommend a email sync option as my company will not use imap.

If you are trying to sync a company email and they will not set up as IMAP, really the only way is to set up a rule in your company email to foward all messages to a different email address (set up a free account at Google or similar) and then set up that account to sync with your iphone.

How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop and my laptop?

How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

Unable to sync new iPhone 4s. I have iTunes version 10.6.1. Using Windows 7. My device appears on iTunes but I am not able to select the sync option and it does not automatically start the sync option when plugged in. Ive tried reseting the device.

I am unable to sync my new iPhone 4s OR my iPod Touch 4 to iTunes.(this is the first time I am plugging them into iTunes) I have version 10.6.1. Both devices are up to date with the latest software version. Once I plug the device in, it is recognized on iTunes.The synce process does not start automatically. I am unable to select the sync option. I've tried reseting the device and restarting iTunes and the same problem happens. I have plugged in my husbands iPhone 3gs and the sync process starts automatically. I have also added my computer as an authorized computer for the new devices. What now?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

HT1386 I cannot sync my iPod with the Playlists that I want. For example, I have all the songs in my classical Playlist checked but it doesn't appear in my iPod after syncing. Also I don't get an opportunity to review sync options.

I cannot sync my iPod with the Playlists that I want. For example, I have all the songs in my Classical Playlist checked, but after syncing it does not appear on my iPod. Also, there are no opportunities to change syncing options. None are listed in the left column of my iTunes screen.

Hello Jefflo64,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing music to your iPod. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I can see it in iTunes in the source list, but after selecting it, there is no summary or anything to configure my sync options. I just see 'iPhone' written. What can I do to fix this?

I just updated my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5.
Restoring the backup just worked fine as well as syncing the music and videos, but my Apps weren't synced at all.
With my iPhone I got it done, after I installed some of my apps using the cloud and suddenly the all were installed during the next sync with my iTunes. All the stored data of my apps were on the iPhone, so I didn't loose anything.
But with my iPad, this didn't work as well. I seem to have to install all apps by my self from the cloud.
But my major problem is, that when I connect my devices to my Mac Book Air, they are shown in the source list, but except for showing 'iPhone' or 'iPad' I see nothing. I can't configure any sync options, so I am not able to do change or do anything.
When updated to iOS 5 I used to restore the backup from before updating my iPhone/iPad in iTunes.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Rene

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
You should also be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. They hsould be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Are there any Outlook Email Sync Tools Available f...

Hi, I've had the n900 for a while now, bit peeved with it, was sold as having proper tbt gps etc, that's another story I guess and one which is well documented elsewhere . Only getting round to setting up my email sync now and guess what, it doesn't work!! You don't seem to be able to sync emails between Outlook and the n900, not using PC Suite or OVI suite from what I can see. My work domain and mail is hosted on gmail, I leave a copy of the messages on the server so I can get in Outlook and on the device. Sometimes when I read a message, or reply to a message on the n900 it will never come through to Outlook, even though a copy is being left on the server. it would be nice if a sync tool was available for this, anyone know of any?
Thanks
Eamonn

you have a couple of options.
first, you have to know that ALL messages you send from your n900 do not get put on the server, but are actually in your "sent" folder on you n900.   so you will need to open that folder, and select all, then move to a folder on your server.....should you be using imap.
next.   i would recommend that you set up your email as imap. it is similar to using MS exchange except that it is free, it does not sync your contacts, it does not sync you calendar. but works great. you will be able to see all your folders on your gmail account and even be able to transfer all your sent email on you n900 to your sent email on your gmail account.
i would stay away from OVI suite as it will just make a mess.   with the n900, it is not necessary to have anything sync with outlook, except your contacts, notes, calendar. so use PC Suite instead as it works solid!
now, since you are new, there is a way to make your n900 email work much faster and smoother as well.
first, install these repositories to your n900 for future use. just click on the links within the browser of your n900 and they will auto-install for you.
EXTRAS-TESTING
EXTRAS-DEVEL
now open your appmanager and install rootsh. (this will help you for later as you read in this forum...at least for things that CPitchford and Ceroberts75 post)
now, here are directions to make your email client work much faster. since i cannot attach a .tar file to this, if you send me a pm, i will send you a link to download a safe copy of it for you to use.
save the .tar file to root folder (your root folder is going to be n900 or whatever you named your unit)
open xterm
sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs
to install, use this code:
tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz -C /
NOTE: There are 2 spaces after the ".gz" and 1 space after the "-C"
it will just do an immediate prompt again, and seem like nothing happened, but it did.
to uninstall and go to original settings, use this code:
apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest
now for the Nokia Messaging: i started a thread for this Nokia Messaging.   Nokia messaging will auto-sync all your email like stated above, but there are different limitations to alerts and such on the n900 and if you only have a few email addresses, imo, it is better to just set them up in the modest email client (standard email installed). it will also save a few taps everytime you have to see the email.
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
with symbian, you just need to go to email.nokia.com and install it.
but...on maemo, it is built in.
open email client
menu
new account
next (wait for it to search)
choose your region
service provider: Nokia Messaging
next
e-mail address: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
password: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
next
it will search...and probably have an error with server and then ask to have you put in all the advanced information. use this information below:
email address:
your nokia messaging login email
incoming:
mail.nokia.com
143
outgoing:
mail.nokia.com
587
with no securities used.
next
this should do it and then you will see it start to sync.
then you can go into the settings of nokia messaging and set up the sync settings and times.
now when you open your email client, you will see "Nokia Messaging"
when you tap on that, you will now see all the email addresses you have set up for nokia messaging.
you can add up to 10 email addresses on the nokia messaging....and i am currently using 6 on my integrated email client...so you can have at least 16 email address on your n900 now, probably up to 20.

Need help with email sync utilizing gmail...

I have the new curve 8520 and I use google sync for calendar and contacts. My question is regarding my emails syncing though. When I delete my email from my phone, it deletes from gmail, which is what I want. However, when I delete email on my my computer through gmail, it does not sync on my phone and I have to go into my phone and manually delete. How can I make my email sync up on both ends, both ways? Am I not being patient enough?

Try going into your Gmail on phone and click menu key and options... email reconciliation and set your conflicts setting to mailbox wins and see if that helps

I, along with lots of other people, have been misled or missold. I have gone to vodafone, and have given my needs to them, and they have recommended the Nokia. And i dont blame them. It appears from the info that the e61 does sync with outlook, and one assumes that means email as it doesnt say it that it doesnt include email.
.... Nokia need to make it clearer that, if you want to sync email with outlook, you cant use the e61, as assumptions work against them, and the resellers acting on their behalf arent being told/trained well enough to know the difference.
2 points I'd like to comment on there...
Firstly, if you think you've been misled or missold by Vodafone, I would suggest you bring this up with them - they are the ones that you believe misled or missold a product to you. Related to that point, if Vodafone are selling a product which they don't know enough about, maybe it's their responsibility to find out about the products they're retailing as opposed to someone elses responsibility to tell them!
Secondly, from what I can see on the Nokia site, it is made clear that the phone will sync with Outlook but will only sync calendar/notes, contacts and to do list... not emails.

What is the best email server for ios

What is the best email server for ios

Im going to go ahead and assume your talking to me?
    I ended up in this thread in search of a functional Exchange ready mail client capable of supporting multiple mail profiles. Since there are no free applications to accomplish this in the app stor, which I can find, I figured I'd leverage the 'community' for some direction before throwing good money after bad.
   As I assume Im not the only one to do this, I figured I'd help straighten these folks out on the lingo (as they werne't applying it properly) and the sassy 'sound like apple users' comment references the way ANTI-apple folks assume you people are less than adequite users.
   If I called an apple an orange, you would say I was wrong. If I did it repeatedly, after correction, you would assume Im incompetant.
   Seriously, its a stupid machine and will only do what you tell it. (true for all computers, apple or otherwise)
   So if I ask for a mail client, dont give me a provider. If I ask for a service, dont name a client.
    Your right, this post is old. And stilll doesnt have an answer. . .
    In response to MichelPM, I didnt call your baby ugly. The 'Bandwagoning' is cute though. My advice is sound, and helping you folks not to look so... well... stupid.
    Since you interceded though, how about a little help? What mail client do you use? Is it exchange Compatible, with active sync? Does it offer multi-profile support? And the clients want images in their signatures, and multi signature support. (I can do this with my android phone )
Im looking forward to your responses.

ICloud email sync - images not showing

I have email synced through iCloud on my Macmini and MBP. Images in emails show fine on my Mini, but not on my MBP. I've checked my mail preferences on my MBP but these appear to be fine. There appears to be no differences in my mail settings on both machines so I am wondering if there is an iCloud setting I am missing - has anyone come across this?

Hi SPSAdminTC,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you open the email in the phone, the image in the mail body didn't show up correctly.
As you can access the images in browse, the issue seems more related to the outlook client.
I suggest you can try to open another mail which includes pictures to check whether it works correctly.

Hi Raghu,
could you please check the table entries in T77RCF_CS_CHAN and its text table T77RCF_CS_CHAN_T? It seems, that the table entries are missing there. You should have the table entries for the channels 'E_MAIL' and 'PRINTER' in T77RCF_CS_CHAN. In table T77RCF_CS_CHAN_T you should have the descriptions for both channels in your logon language.
In addition you could check with transaction slg1, if there is any entry in application log. Error messages can be found in application log. The protocol ofthen helps resolving problems.

Email Syncing

Hi All
Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere.....But...
Firstly, I love the iPhone, it's another reinvention of the wheel by Apple, so well done. Secondly, I am a qualified technician, so really should know more - but networking and email syncing is not my strong point. I will try and best explain my issue in the hope it's a simple fault and can be rectified:
My iPhone is synced to all my email accounts (I have four seperate ones, including MobileMe all POP3) yet only my .me account let's me know I have receieved an email. With the other accounts I have to go in to their inboxes on the iPhone before any email come through.... Any ideas on this? I have checked in iTunes and all mail is set to sync...
My thanks in advance!

The setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for syncing email accounts is for transferring email account settings only from your computer to your iPhone, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone so you don't have to manually create the accounts with the iPhone's Mail client. This has nothing to do with syncing email account mailboxes and messages or an email account being checked for new messages.
On your iPhone, what is your Fetch setting for automatically checking for new messages?
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
Under the Fetch section, the following settings are available:
Every 15 minutes
Every 30 minutes
Hourly
Manually

Yahoo email sync does not work

Hi All,
before posting this I searched the forums and tried all the solutions and they did not work. All solution were basically configurations adjustment.
I am using Bold 9700 on BIS. Yahoo email does not synchronize the messages when read or deleted from the desktop online account. But it works the other way around. (when I delelte or read a message from the web email it stays unread on the device and I have to go and delete it or mark it as read manually). it is very annoying that I have to do everything twice, specially that I am reveiving like 50+ emails every day in yahoo account only.
the email reconcilation configurations are
Delete on: Mailbox & Handheld
Wireless reconcile: On
On conflict: Mailbox wins
I called RIM and they said it should work 2-way, yahoo also it should work. I called Rogers, the tech support told me her device does like that. and all what she did was telling me change the configuration, save, change them back, and save again. and surely nothing of that worked.
I tried my yahoo mail, and other accounts, on iphone and HTC and they worked well both ways.
I really am not sure why people claim that blackberry are the best email handler! a lot of people suffer from sync problems, and there is no IMAP folders support on BIS!!
any help would be appreciated

Same issue here.
I have BB 9700 and Yahoo! BIS account. Worked like a charm until about a week ago.
It was even synchronizing my calendar and mail between BB and Outlook 2010 - never really understood how it managed to do that, but I was very pleased.
As of lately our telecom administrator spent hours on the phone with AT&T, Yahoo and RIM trying to resolve this problem. I was told by RIM tech. support that I've got too many messages in the inbox (measly 5000 e-mails) and that BB stops synchronizing after about 800 messages in the inbox, because it is timing out with so many messages to go through. Sounded like a total BS to me, but I still went ahead and cleaned up my Yahoo inbox and no luck, as I suspected. I was also told by tech. support that it is due to my using Outlook 2010 Beta2, which is not supported, hence the issue - another ferry tale, IMHO.
Hopefully, RIM will be able to get us back on track - manually deleting 60 emails every day is extremely annoying.
