Can I have different Mail behaviour & Rules on iPhone and Desktop

First
I have a series of POP accounts. No, I am not able to switch to IMAP.
I have a Mac laptop running the Mail client and I have an iPhone. I wish to have my Mac see and download ALL email. What is happening is if my iPhone gets to it first, and I think if i read it first, the Mail client does not even BOTHER to download it.
How can I make it so that the Mail client downloads emails read elsewhere?
Second,
I do not want my iPhone to clutter up the inbox with some subscriber list stuff.
Is it possible to have rules so that the iPhone will ignore certain emails but without having those rules apply to my Mail client on my Mac?
Thanks in advance

The options to remove messages from the server after being downloaded with a POP with the iPhone's Mail client is as follows:
Never
After 7 Days
When removed from Inbox
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is from the dark ages with computing and exchanging email and is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This is the nature and design of a POP account. One of the potential problems when accessing a POP account with more than one email client is only one email client at a time can check the incoming mail server for new messages and/or download new messages from the server. When a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the incoming mail server will temporarily lock out the 2nd email client.
Not a problem with an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this very thing along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
I leave the Mail.app on my Mac launched and running actively checking my IMAP account for new messages while I do the same with my iPhone. Anything done by the Mail.app's junk mail filter and any Mail.app rules in effect to sort recieved messages by category to user created server stored mailboxes is reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
None of this is possible with a POP account which is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
The iPhone is an extension for your computer, not a replacement for and Apple can't change the industry design for a POP account.

  • Can I have different Libraries on my internal HD and an External HD?

    I'm out of internal HD space and need to move most of my Photos/Events to a different iPhoto Library on an external HD. From the discussions (and the Fat Cat site) it appears that Fat Cat's iPhoto Library Manager may allow me to do this - is this correct? Any other suggestions?

    Yes - or you can simply copy the iPhoto library to the external drive and switch between libraries by depressing the option key, launching iPhoto and using the select library option - once the library is safely on the external and tested you can delete photos form the one on the internal drive leaving only the ones you want - not that doing it in smaller batches of 100 or so gives the best results

    thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail  working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Generally you can use same out put type for the different document types of PO. You can create different out put types for the same PO, in case you need different layouts that is different forms like MEDRUCK. Please refer below link to create out types . If you want that PO as fax or e-mail can use same out put type .Thanking you.

    -In R12 GL can we use the PO hierarchy and its Rules
    Thanks.

    Dear Srinivasan Muthu,
    Assuming that Red,Blue and white are the values for the chracteristic say Colour and if this assigned to
    a class type say 023 batch,while uploading the stock,the system asks the chracteristic value.
    Say suppose if you are entering 561in MB1C or 101 movement in MIGO for that material and if you
    select for Blue,then in MMBE you can click on the stock quantity and right click-->batch classification.
    The system shows for Blue colour.
    check and revert back.
    Regards

  • HT204053 I have different iCloud IDs for my iPhone &Mac and I have 5GB on each, if I decide to use only 1 ID for both, can I have 10GB or will I be limited to 5 since it's 1 iCloud ID.

    I have different iCloud IDs for my iPhone &Mac and I have 5GB on each, if I decide to use only 1 ID for both, can I have 10GB or will I be limited to 5 since it's 1 iCloud ID. I am afraid that if I I use only 1 iCloud ID for both of them I will be limited to only 5GB which is small a nd I don't have money to be paying annually for extra GB. Thanks and waiting for your replies.

    The free 5GB allowance is per account, not per device.
    If you back up to iTunes, 5 GB should be more than enough for the average user.

  • In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private

    In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private?

    StashPro is an app which can keep things private.
    Photos/documents/videos can be kept private and private browsing is possible with this.
    no matter what you are doing, pressing the home button or power button locks the application and can be opened only by a password set by you while others can access rest of the applications.
    what i do is login to the mail program in the browser and leave it there.  so, the moment you click on this app and give the password, you will be taken to your mail (on the website).
    But the best part is that you can keep all sensitive documents hidden no matter how many people use it.
    hope this helps.  BTW, it costs less than 2 and half dollars and its worth it.  Google StashPro and go to their website to look at additional features.
    You can check the free version before buying the pro version.

  • Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • HT204053 I have an iphone, ipod and ipad - can i have different icloud accounts?

    My daughter has an iphone, my other one has an ipod and I have an ipad.  How can we have different icloud accounts?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can all have different iCloud accounts, indeed it is something that I would recommend.
    To create a new Apple ID (account) navigate to settings >iCloud and tap the "create Apple ID" button.
    Note: if you are already logged into another iCloud account, you will need to scroll down and delete that account, before you can create a new one.

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.
