Creating email folders that sync with Outlook

I want to be able to organize my mail both on my computer and on my iphone by being able to place mail in different folders. I want to save messages on either computer or iphone and have them sync with each other so that I have the same folders and content in both places.
I created the folders in Outlook but couldn't get them into iphone mail. I then set up a Ymail account and it syncs with the folders and incoming mail but wont sync the content in the folders. My mail account is sbcglobal.net
Can this be fixed?

You need an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes on the server with each email client used to access the account with each mailbox kept synchronized with the server automatically. Send a message with the iPhone's mail client and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account automatically and vice-versa.
You can also create additional server stored mailboxes for the account with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account using a browser to sort received and sent messages by category. Any additional server stored mailboxes created for the account with the email client on your computer will be available when checking the account with the iPhone's mail client automatically, and all server stored mailboxes for the account will be kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with a POP account. 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. A sbcglobal account is a POP account only - it cannot be accessed as an IMAP account.

  • Phones that sync with Outlook

    Hi,
    Could you please help me choose a low price Nokia Phone that is able to synchronize contacts with Microsoft Outlook?
    I posses a Windows Mobile PDA/Phone which will be sent for service (for a long period) and would like a "cheap" replacement that could carry most of my personal information.

    If I'm not mistaken entry level phones of Nokia(1XXX, 2XXX) can sync with outlook for contacts & other things. You have to look which one, have other option aside from cable for connectivity like wireless(i.e IR or Bluetooth). Go to Nokia site & compare specs for each one that may suits your need. I heard Nokia just release one with an S40 symbian firmware, don't know if available now & in your place.
    After having a backup phone of Nokia, you might get used to its very user friendly menu & swap your non-symbian expensive PDA to a Nokia Smartphone.

  • Task manager and calendar App that syncs with Outlook

    Hi all,
    I've been looking for a very user-friendly task manager and calendar (some sort of an organizer) that synchs with Outlook. The regular iphone 3g calendar only has calendar function and the warnings don't have the snooze function. I found SmartTasks but it seems in only synchs with Google Calendar. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, best regards,
    Miguel Caldeira Proenca

    I've searched through the app store and tested several calendar apps but none seem to work. I don't even see an "add-on" to the resident calendar app that adds some color or themes. Has anybody found anything to make the calendar appearance a bit spiffier?

  • How do I change my iCloud email address that syncs with my iPhone?

    I had to change my e-mail address today.  I changed it in iTunes and checked it on apple.com (Manage ID).  Everything is fine, except now the e-mail address I have associated with iCloud on my iPhone is out-dated. It's the old one. 
    How do I update the e-mail address for iCloud on my iPhone? I can change the password, but not the e-mail address.  Do I really have to delete the account from my iPhone and add a new one? 
    Note, I don't want to change the actual e-mail address that I got when I set up my iCloud account i.e. [name]@me.com.  I want to change the e-mail address that syncs with iCloud and my iPhone. 
    Many thanks

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated ID.  This only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your device, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

    When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
    With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
    When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
    If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

    And what is the wording of the error message?

  • BEST FREE EMAIL ACCOUNT THAT SYNCS WITH LEOPARD "MAIL"

    Which provider of free e-mail synchronises best with "mail". Yahoo you need to pay to work with Mail and I am looking for something that works, is free and preferably isn't Google - any thoughts?

    www.fastmail.fm works for me. Free IMAP accounts with 10MB of storage. Not a lot, but free is free. Enhanced Fastmail accounts with more storage space and more features are pretty cheap.

  • Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

    I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files. 
    When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
    The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
    Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

    iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
    Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

  • Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail. Apple tech support was worthless.

    Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Noticed the problem a couple of days ago.
    Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail.
    Apple tech support was worthless on both issues.

    Hi I am also in the UK, but not with Tiscali and am having the exact same problems. I can also send with wifi, but not 3G. I have tried amending all sorts of settings, including those above and amending the smtp server to the settings for my provider, but all to no avail.
    It is thoroughly frustrating, as I cannot send emails unless I have wifi access.
    Any further suggestions would be very welcome.

  • My iphone calendar stopped syncing with outlook 7 thru the cloud. I clicked on tools, trust center, add ins. icloud add in had been disabled. I tried to re enable it but was told that this could only be done by administrator. I am the admin. Help????

    My iphone calendar stopped syncing with outlook 7 thru the cloud. I clicked on outlook tools, trust center, add ins. I noted that icloud add in had been disabled. I tried to re enable it but got a message that this change could only be done by administrator. I am the administrator. Help???? Any ideas?

    I do not believe this. I have been going nuts trying everything as in prior posts, and this has been a problem for users at least since 2010. I had this problem a long time ago and didn't pay too much attention to it because it was my iPad, and I depended on my BB a a base calander to feed Outlook. I became very concerned within the past week when I switched my BB to iPhone 5s, and was carrying both because I still needed to carry the BB for new calander enteries to sync up to Outlook 2007.
    I had followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and delete the apple s/w and re-installed. But according to the previous post, it appears that the issue was in the data - which was not deleted during all these deinstalls nor overridden with the new installs.
    I am a XP user, so my files are in documents and settings/(username) both application data and \local settings\application data, but I also have safari and quicktime installed as well and didn't want to just blow entire high level folders if I didn't have to.
    So I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 then purged several apple folders in my windows profile and this definitely blew apple computer\preferences away. What I did was a little clumbsy, and desperate, but it worked. I am finally back in business.
    However, I would like to see someone fine tune this and determine if it was just the preferences folder that needed to be deleted so that iTunes needed to rebuild it, or if there were other filoes that were apparently corrupted away, just to get this to the minimum number of steps to fix the issue.
    BUT THANKS - This has been the most HELPFUL thread to get me syncing agai!!!!

  • Email Sync with Outlook

    Is there any program which will sync my email on my E2 with Outlook 2007?  I would like the sync to occur each time that I do a hotsync.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Yes, I have checked the Palm support page and the software that came with the E2.  Palm provides an application called Versamail but it does not work with Outlook, it is intended for going on the web and download email.
    Also, I do not understand your comment "post in forums, PMs for personalized help are not community oriented and will not be responded to".  Did I not post this in a forum for the appropriate item?

  • I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please researc

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Exchange email not syncing with Outlook 2010 and Z10

    Hi all,
    I've just set up my work email's to sync with my BB Z10. This all works fine and I'm getting the emails on my phone. But when I read an email from my phone, it does not get read in Outlook. When I delete an email on my phone, it does not get deleted in Outlook. Vice versa. If I read and delete emails in Outlook, they do not get read or deleted on my phone. This is rather frustrating as the whole point of syncing emails is to be able to have full control away from the office. I've got Delete on Handheld and Server on yet they are not deleting on Handheld and Server. These settings work fine for my personal accounts but just not on my Exchange account. Initially when I deleted a load of messages from my phone I got the following message 'Email messages will be removed from the BlackBerry Hub but will remain on the server'. Can I turn this option off? Also why is it coming up with this even though I have Delete on Handheld and Server on.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rajan

    go to settings, accounts, choose the account in question, tap on advanced on bottom, do you show server address and port 443 below it and using SSL with PUSH on?

  • Why build a phone that wont sync with outlook??

    I know I can upload all my contact info to google as  .csv, but why OH WHY did they design this thing that will not simply sync with my outlook calendar and contacts. Unbelievable. My iPad was seamless, flawless, simple.

    Your premise is not true - the Razr (and any Android device) will sync with Outlook Calendar and Contacts.  There are many different options depending on how you are using Outlook (personal pc, corporate exchange server, etc) and what and how you want to sync. 
    Here is a pretty complete list of software to sync Outlook and Exchange to an Android device. If you click on the software's title you will learn more about it and it often will show you how to set up the connection.
