Answer 1

I got the other accounts setup, but the inboxes aren't syncing up. The inboxes for my email addresses besides gmail show a bunch of messages as unread that I've already read and deleted on my laptop. I have the same problem on my desktop. All I want is the inboxes to sync up. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong. The following was copied from my previous post.
You can keep all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account synchronized automatically with each email client used to access the account. This is not possible with a POP account.
You can access a Gmail account as a POP or IMAP account with the email client used to access the account on your computer as well as with the iPhone's mail client. You can access a Hotmail plus or paid account as a POP account only with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account and with the iPhone's mail client.
Messages received with a POP account are downloaded only by the email client used to access the account. The account's Inbox mailbox with a POP account is not kept synchronized with the server. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
An IMAP account is designed to be assessed with more than one email client with the ability to keep all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
