How could i delete an email and have it delete on my ipad as well. I use an optonline account.

You need an Exchange or IMAP account. Not possible with a POP account.

HT3228 Mail on multiple devices. Need to sync action for messages.

I get mail on multiple devices. I find myself doing everything (delete, move, read ) on each device for each message. I need all to sync. In other words if I delete a message when reading mail on my iPhone, if I then look at mail on my iPad the message should not appear.

Is your email account POP3 or IMAP? If POP3, does your provider
support IMAP? An IMAP account will do what you want, POP3 does
not.
The problem you have and the resolution are a function of the type of
email account you are using and not the device you connect with. Set
your email up as IMAP (if possible) and your problem will go away.
If you are using a POP3 account and cannot set it up as IMAP because
the provider does not offer IMAP, consider setting that account to
automatically forward all email to an IMAP account (Gmail is one, there
are many others) and work from the IMAP account. You should set the
POP3 account to automatically delete the emails after forwarding.

Using mail on multiple devices

Hi, I get mail from two gmail accounts on three devices: iPad, iPhone, desktop. Is there a way to set it up so that when I delete mail from one device it deletes it from all three? I am going nuts with so many messages. Thanks for your help.

Use IMAP mail protocol. Not POP.
IMAP keeps the email on the server, and the mail client just reads it from the server.
POP (especially gmail's POP) downloads the mail to your device, and gmail's POP keeps a copy as well, so that all your devices can download the mail, hence your need to delete from each device because each device has downloaded a copy.

Deleting e-mail on multiple devices

I receive e-mail using the Mail program on my Mac book, iPad, and iPhone. After I read an e-mail and delete it, i have to go to all of my other devices and delete them too. Isn't there an easier way to delete read mail from all devices at once?

I guess I have a question along a similar line....this is what I would like to do.
I have a pop e-mail account........I also have a iMac, iPod Touch, and a iPad......I was hoping to sync e-mail along all devices. That is when I receive a e-mail and reply to it.....it shows that alone all devices....when I delete it.....it deletes it on all devices.....I receive on my iPad.....it shows up on other devices also.
By the sounds of it I need a IMAP account....is that right? Can I change from a POP account to an IMAP or is it up to my provider.
Same thing with my calender.....I make an appointment on my iPad and it adds it to all devices (or is this what mobile me is for?)
Sorry for these newbie questions but I am new to the Apple world.
Thanks for your time in reading this and for any and all replies!!

Deleting iMessages across Multiple Devices

I have seen multiple posts that bring up this same question, but it appears there is no solution. My question is this: What could be a workaround?
The problem is this: I have a work Mac, a home Mac, a MacBook Pro laptop, and iPad, and iPhone. All are logged in to iCloud and turned on 24/7. (This is required because of unrelated network issues.) As we all know, when a message comes in to one device it goes out to all devices. So when a sensitive and private message comes in and I delete it immediately, it remains on all my other devices for my children and employees to see. This is unacceptable.
This is ridiculous. Doesn't anybody at Apple consider this as important enough to provide protection to my privacy? These complaints have been listed on this discussion board for at least four years. We need a workaround. What do other people do?
Can iMessage be controlled perhaps by an AppleScript so that it can be turned off when I leave one location, and easily turned back on when I return?
I have tried managing iMessage through iCloud.com, but that is not possible.
What workarounds are possible?? There's got to be something.

for the Points
The issue of how the iMessages appear on each device and what people expect and would like has been a bone of contention since the Messages beta in Lion.
Basically they are pushed from the server (not Fetched like mail)
They are divided/Duplicated so theta each registered device gets a copy that is uniquely for one registered device (the Mac uses the Serial Number to Create the Auth Token).
That copy keeps getting pushed until accepted on the device then it is deleted form the servers.
This may mean a iMessages has been sent to the iPhone but not to a Mac that is Off line. However if you delete it on the iPhone you cannot get the iMessages again even if one "Copy" has not left the server.
Only while the devices are linked (one overriding Apple ID) will the iMessages be sent to Multiple devices.
As soon as that stops so do the iMessages.
"Syncing" is only "Display on all devices" and no more.

E-mails on multiple devices

I receive e-mails on both my iPhone and iPad, however I must delete an e-mail on each device. Is there a way to delete an e-mail on one device and it is automatically deleted on the other device? Prior to a recent iPhone update, this worked perfectly, including deleted e-mails not appearing in my Outlook 2007 Inbox.

You would need IMAP access to your email to do what you want to do (sync email when using multiple devices). Comcast does not support IMAP accounts only POP. You could, as a work around, only access your email using their webmail interface from all devices. Then delete the email from webmail, which Comcast provides. The deleted email will not show up when you access webmail from another device. When using webmail your emails are not downloaded to your device but remain on the server so all devices can view the emails until deleted by you.

How to delete iMessages on multiple devices.

When iMessage is activated on multiple devices with the same Apple ID, will deleting the message on one device delete it on all others?

No, it will not.

How to delete apps from multiple devices?

I have multiple IOS devices that share a single Apple-id. Is there a way to delete the app from all IOS devices automatically, or do I have to delete it from each device?
Also, why do deleted APPs come back when the devices are sync'd (via cable) to my Mac?
Brian

Regarding your first question, I believe you have to delete them from each device --- unless you first delete the app from iTunes, then sync your i-device using iTunes.
Regarding the second question, the key is to delete the app from iTunes on your Mac. That would end the undesireable behavior.

Mail stopped receiving mail on multiple devices??

I can no longer recieve emails on only one email address, that is on multiple devices. This email address has been operating perfectly fine for years. All of a sudden in the middle of the night, on four devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac Air and Power Mac) mail has stopped being downloaded.
Things done and symthoms...
Check all settings on all devices - All Good! No error codes
Remove/Re-install on one of the devices. All emails load back in to about the same point as other devices.
Adjusted SSL settings (which worked perfectly fine).
Turned off WiFi - Using cell coverage
Reset Airport Express
Webmail is working perfectly fine
Other email accounts with same provider (Go Daddy) working perfectly fine.
iMap Settings in place

I'm having the exact same issues. I have about 10 different email addresses. All have worked fine since I bought the Mac Pro. As of yesterday, whenever I log into any WiFi netwrok - and networks that always worked in the past - I can't download emails from one of my addresses. Same is true with the same email accounts on my iPhone.
Interestingly, when I tether my iPhone and use 3G (rather than WiFi) I'm able to send/recieve from this same address on my laptop AND iPhone!!
APPLE - please advise!

Deleting emails from multiple devices

I don't understand if I delete an email from my iPhone, iPad or iMac why I have to repeat that deletion on the other devices. They are all up to date software-wise and in the cloud. Can anyone please help?

Comcast email is a POP system, it does not sync between devices, any devices.
Comcast have recently begun a test program for Imap on their email, and Imap does sync so contact Comcast and ask to be enrolled in the program, or wait for them to offer it to you.

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers
