Comcast IMAP not Syncing

Just changed my Comcast email from POP to IMAP in hopes my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) would sync with my iMac at home and with web mail. It doesn't sync like my gmail account. Items I sent from my phone don't show up in  web mail sent box. Haven't tried to switch Mail on my  iMac to IMAP.

OK I am really hoping to switch my Comcast POP3 to IMAP. My comcast account has never been on my ipad since I hate deleting a zillion emails in all places.
I found this link. You have to request to be migrated. You do so at the following link.
https://xcsignup.comcast.net/onboardingapps/imap
I have set up my ipad for my comcast account with settings as shown above using imap.... as the incoming mail server.  Sending mail works fine.  I assume once enough time has passed (been 5 mins at this point) my ipad will just start getting the comcast mail.  I'll post if it works. For now its says the imap server is not responding.
I tricked mail into allowing me to set it up as IMAP by not using any comcast settings and then simply editied them.

  • E63 + Nokia Messaging + IMAP = Not Syncing Sent

    **I originally posted this in the E Series forum, and decided to repost it here as it was more appropriate** 
    I recently downloaded Nokia Email Messaging, and I am loving the push email.  However, I realised today that none of the emails I am sending from my phone are being synced to the IMAP sent folder, instead are being put in a Sent folder on the phone.  I have told it to sync sent emails, drafts, and inbox.
    Can you please help me with this.  If I can't sync my sent emails so I can see them on my laptop as well via IMAP (webmail), then I will revert back to using ProfiMail.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan.

    I have the same problem, mine on an E66. I send messages from an IMAP account on Nokia Messaging and the message goes in the Nokia Messaging Sent folder, but this is not sync'd with my email server Sent Items folder.
    I even tried selecting the Sent Items folder as one to be sync'd on the Nokia Messaging website (edit settings), but this still didn't make any difference.
    I even then tried Moving the messages from the Nokia Messaging Sent folder to the mapped Sent Items folder on the E66, then sync'd again, but still they won't appear on the server Sent Items folder.
    I think what Nokia need to add is an option similar to the one on the Outlook configuration where you can select where sent items go - either to the default Outlook folder, or to a specific IMAP folder.

  • After 10.5.6 Update - Mail & Gmail (imap) not syncing correctly

    After updating to 10.5.6, Mail is not syncing with my Gmail (imap) accounts correctly. For example, I will receive an email and have notifications both in Mail and my iPhone. If I read the email from my iPhone, Mail will not show the email has been read or deleted unless I quit and reopen. Gmail does, however, show the email as read or deleted almost immediately. Manually syncing Mail with an account doesn't work. Only quitting and reopening Mail. Any suggestions?

    That's a shame. Did you read earlier:

    No problem with Gmail IMAP account here, although not using with an iPhone. Are you accessing your Gmail account from Mail as an IMAP type account?
    Also, in some other discussion, I read that someone trashed their "com.apple.mail.plist" in their home/library/preferences folder and restarted
    mail and it was successful, including each message where they were supposed to be.
    I try and find that link.

  • E63 + Nokia Messaging + IMAP = Not Syncing Sent It...

    I recently downloaded Nokia Email Messaging, and I am loving the push email.  However, I realised today that none of the emails I am sending from my phone are being synced to the IMAP sent folder, instead are being put in a Sent folder on the phone.  I have told it to sync sent emails, and to sync the sent folder from the server.  Therefore, I can see the IMAP sent folder in the app (which is seen threaded under the inbox) and I can also see the 'phones' sent folder.
    Can you please help me with this.  If I can't sync my sent emails so I can see them on my laptop as well via IMAP, then I will revert back to using ProfiMail.

    I realised today that I probably should have posted this in the Messaging forum, not the E Series forum, and that this could be why no one has been able to help.  Therefore, I began a new thread here.

  • IMAP not syncing two way.

    I have just upgraded from a e61 to a e61i. With the e61 my email worked exactly as it should: Anything deleted on my Mac was removed from my inbox on the e61, anything deleted using the e61 was automatically removed from the Macs inbox. However since upgrading to the e61i this feature is not working correctly: Emails deleted on the e61i are immediately removed from my Mac, but emails deleted on the Mac are NOT removed from the e61i.
    The settings on the Mac have not changed and the settings on the e61i are identical to that of the e61.
    The e61i runs the latast firmware, both phones were branded Vodafone, used on the Vodafone network and had lots of settings pre-installed. I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.
    Can anyone suggest how to correct this problem?
    Thanks.

    FIXED! 
    I got rid of Mac Mail and just switched over to Thunderbird.  OH MY GOD...it works like a charm.  When i delete on the web it deletes on my Mac...when i delete on my iphone it deletes on my Mac.  No more issues.  Set up time was 20 mins. 

  • Mail messages after a certain date are not syncing in IMAP

    I use IMAP with Intermedia hosted Exchange (set to allow IMAP with Apple Mail). Everything has worked fine with Mail.app for years. All of a sudden, in the last week, mail in archive folders is not syncing. I receive Inbox mail and see Sent mail, but folders where I store archived messages (Friends, Travel, etc.) do not show any messages after July 10. When I go to the webmail server, I see the messages in the folders where I moved them.
    I have divided large folders into smaller ones, and done a completely clean download of all mail, and the problem persists. My iPod Touch was also having trouble seeing new messages.
    This is a longshot, but the one change on July 10 was that I started using Mail from a different location. Could it have something to do with the Airport base station here or even the cable Internet provider?

    Update: it does not have to do with the Internet provider or local equipment. I tried downloading messages from a different network and the problem persisted.

  • When Using iOs 7.1.2 OSX 10.9.4 notes are not syncing via USB. When will this be fixed. Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution.

    When Using iOs 7.1.2 with mac OSX 10.9.4 mavericks notes are not syncing via USB.
    When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before,  I can't really
    understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
    capture  quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
    Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
    But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

    Then you won't be syncing your notes anymore.

  • Incoming emails not syncing using IMAP

    Hello Community Members,
    I am having a problem with one specific email not syncing incoming emails using IMAP on my BB Classic.
    IMAP server: imap.secureserver.net
    I have followed the instructions and all the other accounts I have configured seem to work properly.
    Downloading using POP works for this specific email.
    Anyone experiencing similar problems?  Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Alan

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    It is possible that your email server did not, as part of the "wizard" configuration, provide the proper settings to auto-configure to the device. Therefore, I recommend you:
    Remove this email configuration
    Find the proper settings to use, via the EAVT or perhaps by asking your email service provider
    Reconfigure this email, but use the manual/advanced screens and manually enter everything, bypassing the wizard
    Hopefully that will work for you.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Outlook 2013 not syncing subfolders - IMAP

    Hello,
    Currently having issues with Outlook 2013 / Office 365 not syncing subfolders correctly.
    Example.
    Receive email > answer email > move email over to new subfolder > goto subfolder and email does not show?? > go to webmail and both email and subfolder show correctly. 
    Read lots of articles on this but no solution to the problem.  
    article 1 - http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/email-troubleshooting/imap-issues-affecting-outlook-2013-and-office-365-functionality
    If this carries on then a move back to Thunderbird is on the cards as i've imaged this along side outlook and do not have any issues with thunderbird.  it works perfectly... unlike Outlook.

    goto subfolder and email does not show?? > go to webmail and both email and subfolder show correctly. 
    As per the description above, it seems the subfolder and email message got uploaded correctly to the server, it's just not display in the subfolder in Outlook 2013 client side. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    Does this only happen to this specific subfolder?
    To troubleshoot this issue, I would suggest we first check what view settings you have of this faulty folder. Maybe you have it set for Unread Messages Only or something that is filtering out the messages you just moved:
    Select the folder, go to "VIEW" tab on the ribbon
    Click "View Settings" button. On the "Advanced View Settings" dialog, click "Filter..." button
    Check if you have any filters which might filter out the message. Clear it, then try again.
    Hope this helps, please feel free to post back with any findings.

  • Sync questions? Comcast address book? Not sync every time I connect Ipad?

    Hi|!
    Still working on learning this wonderful tool!
    Is there a way to pull in my comcast address book?
    how can I make my ipad NOT sync every time I hook it to my computer? Can I just drag and drop a new movie onto it?
    Do you use a screen protector?
    Thanks so much!!

    Turning off auto sync is probably the first thing you should do before you start to experiment. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>click on the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Then click OK and quit iTunes
    If your Comcast address book is in an address book on your computer - you can select it to sync in the Info Tab in iTunes - under the heading - Sync Address Book Contacts.
    You should make sure that the movie is in the correct format before you add it to iTunes or before you drag and drop. You can add the movie to iTunes via File>Add to library and if necessary click on the movie in the library and go to Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV versions. I believe that you can drag and drop if you manage content manually.
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Yes I use a screen protector but it is a matter of personal choice.

  • Notes sync over IMAP

    I'm trying to get my notes synced to my one and only IMAP email provider. I think all of my settings are correct, but something isn't working.
    - I have notes turned ON for the IMAP account. (Mail, Contacts, Calendars)
    - I have the IMAP account as the default for notes. (Mail, Contacts, Calendars)
    - I have a folder named "Notes" on my IMAP account.
    Any suggestions?

    So what exactly isn't working?
    Did you create the folder yourself? You shouldn't have to do that. If you did, I suggest turning off notes, deleting the folder and turning notes back on again.

  • Mavericks Mail not sync'ing IMAP act. (Not GMail)

    I have been waiting silently to see if a fix would come on its own, but none yet. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail.app does NOT sync my IMAP accounts correctly. I have gone so far as to remove and re-add the accounts numerous times... no change. The recent "update" that was supposed to address Gmail issues had no affect on my sync'ing issues either. As others have posted, I basically have to quit and re-launch mail for it to correctly show what is on the mail server. All of my iDevices are working just fine - I can read or move an email, and all my iDevices show it correctly... but when I return to my Mac - some show as unread - some messages that I moved or deleted are still THERE (unread), etc.
    Once I quit and relaunch, the inbox displays correctly - but there is no way (that I can find) to force the inbox to "refresh" correctly while the app is open. "Getting new" messages does nothing to help. Has anyone found a solution or work-around...? or is this just a "sit back and wait for Apple to fix" kind of problem...?
    Thanks,
    SF

    I have the same problem. The recent Mavericks update fixed the original Gmail problem (of not being able to get rid of mail from the in box), but this problem is there and very frustrating. Exactly the same as the original post - Mail on my Mac does not reflect the emails filed, moved, deleted etc from my iPad or iPhone. Gmail, iPad and iPhone are all in perfect sync, but the Mac is not.
    The only way to force the Mac into line is to QUIT Mail and relaunch.
    (By the way, I don't have any anti-virus on my machine, so it's nothing to do with that - its a Mavericks issue).
    I have been looking at alternative mail clients as I have now lost all faith in Apple Mail. (I am committed to IMAP and Gmail, on 3 different email accounts).
    Yersterday I tried Outlook (as I happen to have a copy with Office-2011 for Mac). I liked it apart from the fact that it won't work with iCloud contacts... so its no good for me.
    I'm looking at Mailplane now.... doesn't seem to be available via App store, but I'm going to try a free 15 day trial I found online. I'd say that's how long Apple has to fix this problem as far as I'm concerned.

  • Outlook 2011 inbox not syncing to IMAP account

    This issue started about a week ago. If I ignore all the known issues with Outlook 2011 since moving to Mountain Lion, I would say Outlook has been running fine until last week. I have taken a look at Microsofts website but did not find any issue close to mine. I decided to try a mac forum first in case this is a ML issue with Outlook, rather than just an Outlook issue. Because my skeptism of Microsoft, it probably is an issue with Microsoft 2011 and they probably don't want to bother fixing it. 
    Here's the issue:
    My work email is set up in Outlook 2011 version 14.2.5 using IMAP. I go through my day as usual reading emails, responding to them, and filing them away in folders (on the server). I can go through 100 emails in my inbox to only 10 by the end of the day. The rest have been deleted, or filed away. I am able to receive and send emails with no errors. However, once I leave work and view my emails online or on another program (such as MacMail), I see those 100 emails in my inbox with only half of them read and another half unread. I see no pattern to it. (The most recent email in a conversation is read but several earlier ones are not). The strangest part: All those emails I filed away in folders on the server or deleted are in those folders AND in my inbox. Therefore, if I refile the emails, read them or delete them I will have dupllicate emails.  Same thing goes if I repair the folder in Outlook. It takes all those emails in  my Inbox online and puts them back in my Inbox on the server. 
    If I make any changes in Mail (On a different computer that is on Snow Leapord) or on the web, I just sync the folder and it shows the changes in Outlook.
    Essentially this is the syncing issue: 
    Other programs --> Server --> Outlook = OK
    Server --> Outlook = OK
    Outlook -x-> Server = NOT SYNCING
    I'd like to reitterate that this started last Tuesday (Nov 20).  Our IT can't figure it out.

    Hi Meghan,
    You are right saying that it is not syncing or does slowely and it is not done by the time you switch off your Outlook.
    You can run some manual tests by pressing CTRL + Click on a folder in your Outlook 2011 and Sync this Folder
    Then check the webmail.
    Also you may want to check this in Outlook 2011:
    1)  Tools > Run Schedule > Edit Schedules
    2)  Assuming you already have a scheduled "Send/Receive All" occurring every few minutes - double-click the appropriate Schedule item.
    3)  In the Edit Schedule window, in the Action area to the right of the Receive Mail action, click the Account Options button.
    4)  Put a check next to every folder and in the Synchronization Setting column make sure it is set to New Messages.  If you choose Headers Only, the folders will not auto-sync.
    No idea why it stopped working but usually it coincides with OS updates or MS Office updates on Mac.
    Post back if you get anywhere with this.

  • Z10: IMAP Unread Status Not Synced

  • Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

    Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store.  After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update.  Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast?  Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

    I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
    Could someone  hep me? Thank you by advance.
