Can't sync back email accounts

Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

How can I sync my email accounts to avoid having to manually delete or move messages

How can I sync my email on iPad to avoid having to manaually delete or move messages from different accounts?

Set all your email accounts up as IMAP (instead of POP3) so that the messages are stored on the server. Then whatever actions you take on a message on your iPad will be "in sync" across all other devices/computers you access that email account from.

TS4083 How can I sync all email accounts to my iphone?

There used to be an info section in iTunes that allowed you to sync email accounts from your iMac to your phone but this option seems to have been removed now from iTunes. Has it moved to iCloud somehwere? If so, how can I sync the accounts from my iMac? Thanks is advance for your help!

Thanks! I knew how to do that already :/ Just upgraded to a 5s and didn't want to manually enter my accounts and server settings again (there are 10 email accounts) as I actually don't remember most of the passwords. I backed up settings from my old iPhone 4 before swapping the sims over and have managed to restore the 5s from that backup which copied over all of my email accounts, great success! However, just had to access cpanel for all accounts to reset the passwords as they are not copied over.
Thank you for your prompt reply!

I can't sync my email accounts to my iOS devices.

All my IMAP emails accounts sync to my computers via iCloud and Internet Accounts in the system preferences and Apple Mail. How do I sync them to my iOS device? Shouldn't it be automatic?
iTunes used to have a feature to replace email accounts from this computer top force it to a device. What happened to that? All software is current and up to date we all on 10.9.
Please help.

Hi dpavid,
Hi again, and I’m sorry I did not completely understand your situation on the first try. It sounds like your other (non-iCloud) email IMAP accounts are not syncing with your iOS devices.
This might seem like an odd question, but have you actually set up those email accounts on these devices? iCloud does not actually do this for you, each account, such as Gmail, Yahoo or any other mail service provider, needs to be set up on each device you are using it with.
Information on how to set up an account can be found in this document -
iPhone User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically -
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account.
See page 16 under Set up mail and other accounts.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How can I sync my email account with "mail"? When I delete a message using "mail" it does not delete that message on "Safari" when I check on it. Can I change this?

It is the same way on my iPod and iPhone so I just stopped checking my e-mails on them.

Yes there is an option to Remove from server emails that are deleted and then emptied out of the trash folder. At least there are in most email programs so I would think Mac Mail offers this. But after you delete them and empty the trash in the mail program you have to again Check Your Email so that the server knows that email was deleted.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select. My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder. Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services". I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

Can't add ANY email accounts to iPhone

I can't add any email accounts to my iPhone's mail application. (it used to work just fine) I have tried to enter my account information using my yahoo, gmail, and exchange and none work. I enter my account information and after it verifies it takes me to "account" which is only a blank screen. I have tried entering account information both directly on the mail app and under settings.
Anyone having a similar problem? anyone have any ideas of how to fix or what's wrong?

preciosa1435,
Have you tried Resetting All Settings? To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
If that doesn't work, restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone (instead of restoring from backup) should ultimately resolve the issue.

Can't create new email account.

I can't create new emails account because when I go to Setting and click in Mail,Contacts ,calender, it goes back to home, intead of open the options. Any advice? Thanks
Julio

Double tab the home button and when the application button shows up hold the settings icon until you see a red dot in the corner and hit that.
If that dosent work then try restarting the device. Hold the lock button (top right of iPad) until slide to power off appears then hit the same button to get it back on.
To actually make an email account you have to go to the providers web page, you can't create one in settings

How to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in N8 Symbi...

Hi to all
There is any way to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle ?
Because syncing one by one is very unpleasant (I have 12 email accounts on my phone). Is there a way to sync all accounts at once?
hank you for your attention

iSync does not synchronize mail at all, and .Mac Sync synchronizes only mailbox structures, rules, signatures and smart mailboxes, not mail content.
To 'synchronize' mail, you must use IMAP technology, as opposed to the far more common POP3 standard for incoming mailboxes. The OS X Mail program supports IMAP account creation, as do most electronic mail providers, including AOL and Yahoo. Notably, Google does not support IMAP with it's Gmail product: it's probably best described as a slightly whacky, non-standard POP3 offering, and is not a good choice if you want to 'synchronize' you mail among two or more clients.
This sort of POP3 vs IMAP and mail synchronization discussion occurs frequently in the Mail & Address Book forum, and there are several 'experts' there—listed typically in the Top Rated Members in Forum list in the right sidebar—who help users all the time. You can search the forum by subject or their user name, or browse and look for related subjects or their answers, to get a better idea of how to deal with these issues. You can find that forum here:

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers.

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers it syncs with? I have three computers I use daily in different location and have thunderbird on each computer. I find it time consuming to have to repeatedly delete the same emails from each location. I am thinking that by leaving the emails on the server and not downloading them in each computer would solve this. Is my assumption here correct? If not? How would you set up Tbird to sync?

If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

Hello sstan114,
Great question! What type of email account are you using? Most email providers these days offer IMAP accounts (as opposed to POP). With IMAP, your changes should reflect across your devices (for example: if you read an email on your iPhone, it should be marked as read on your iPad). For more information about IMAP, see this resource:
iCloud: IMAP
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
In some cases, you may need to contact your Email provider or check out their online resources for information on how to setup your account as IMAP. The following article outlines some important information you’ll want to gather:

TS3276 I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts
