Downloading of emails via webmail, iPhone and Mac Mail

I currently access emails from my ISP via three avenues. I use webmail when I'm in the office, iPhone on the go and Mac Mail at home. However, I will end up seeing the same emails three times. Even after deleting unwanted emails from my webmail, they will still appear in iPhone and Mac Mail when I access emails and vice versa. Has this anything to do with the POP or IMAP settings? I have set my ISP email on iPhone and Mac Mail under POP. I have ever tried to change the POP to IMAP with same results.
Any advice? Thanks.

I am having the same issue.

Cannot download blueyonder emails to both iPhone and Mac Mail

Up until very recently I was receiving blueyonder emails on both my Mac Mail app on my MacBook and on my iPhone.
Now the emails will only download to the device it hits first. So, if I receive emails on my iPhone overnight, they wont be received on my MacBook/Mac Mail app when I switch it on and vice versa.
It's a blueyonder (virgin media) email account using POP3.
Macbook is running Mac OS X 10.5.8
Iphone 3G running 3.1.2
Any ideas what to do to receive the emails on both devices?

Hi I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. They have posted a solution on their website it's just hard to find!
All you have to do is in your phone mail settings you have to add "recent:" before your username (I've put it before address and description as well just incase)
so for example:
recent:[email protected]
here is the info from the website
How do I download mail to multiple POP email programs?
Important information for customers who download Virgin Media Mail using several email programs or on different computers or devices
To access your messages with multiple POP email programs, use recent mode in every client to make sure that all messages are made available, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.
To enable Recent mode, replace '[email protected]' in the Username field of your POP client settings with 'recent:[email protected]' and ensure that the Leave messages on server option in your POP client is enabled.
POP Download settings - keeping copies in your webmail inbox when you download messages to Outlook or other programs
By default, when messages are downloaded by Outlook Express or other email programs, Virgin Media Mail is set to keep Virgin Media Mail's copy in the Inbox. This means that we keep a copy in your webmail inbox so it can be accessed online via webmail, or by other email programs on different computers or mobile devices.
If you want to change this, you can go to Forwarding & POP/IMAP within Settings, and next to When messages are accessed with POP select one of these options in the drop-list:
- archive Virgin Media Mail's copy
- delete Virgin Media Mail's copy
If you chose to keep or archive Virgin Media Mail's copy, these messages will eventually fill up your mail quota, but remember that with Virgin Media Mail you do have lots of space.
Please note that some email programs may be set to delete your messages when they are downloaded, but the setting within Virgin Media Mail will override the options set in your email program.

IPhone and .mac mail sync

I had to do a restore on my phone. I used to be able to have the phone NOT sync my message status and deleted messages update my .mac account. Now that I have done the restore. When I delete one on my iPhone it deletes right away on the Mac mail program. I don't remember what I did or didn't do so it would work that way before the restore.
Could someone help me with this please?
Thanks,
G B III

You're welcome.
With your iPhone connected, do you have your .Mac or MobileMe account selected below email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for the email account settings to be transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process?
If so, your .Mac or MobileMe account settings from the Mail.app on your Mac were transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which created the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client.
If yes and you want to access your .Mac or MobileMe account as a POP account with the iPhone's mail client, you need to deselect this below email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Follow this by deleting the account with the iPhone's mail client and manually recreate the account as a POP account. You need to select "Other" when creating the account. After entering what is required on the first screen, on the next screen you will select POP as the account type entering the required settings to access the account as a POP account with the iPhone's mail client.
After the account is recreated with the iPhone's mail client, be sure to check the account settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded. You want to select Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the iPhone's mail client, or any new messages received and downloaded by the iPhone's mail client will be removed from the server when downloaded and the new messages received by the iPhone's mail client will not be available when checking the account with the Mail.app on your Mac.
IMO, it is better to access the account as an IMAP account with both.

Confliction errors with iPhone and Mac Mail

I am having constant issues with the iPhone causing my Mac Mail to dislay "The POP server *** rejected the password for user *******" dialog box when the iPhone and/or any of my computers try to pick up mail at the same time on the same accounts. The password and user name are correct. Has anyone found a setting to enable multiple computers and iPhone to collect mail from the same accounts without issue? Does this same issue happen with Entourage?

A POP account is not designed to be accessed by multiple email clients at the same time and the email client used makes no difference in this regard at the incoming mail server for the account.
This is usually not a problem with an IMAP account. I don't have this problem with my .Mac account - the Mail.app on my PB runs 24/7 checking my email accounts for new messages every 15 minutes. Since using the iPhone to access my .Mac account and a business POP account, the POP account on my PB is taken offline but not my .Mac account. I've accessed my .Mac account with both at the same time with no problems.
If you are unable to switch to an IMAP account, you will need to turn off having the POP account checked for new messages automatically by the Mail.app.

Using folders in Mail app on iPhone - Synching iPhone and Mac Mail app

I have a hotmail account and my iMac is set up to recieve that mail to the Mail app. In the Mail app I have organized all the emails I have recieved into different folders but I would like those same folders to show up on my iPhone so that when an email comes in I can drag it to the appropriate folder and it will be in that folder on my iPhone as well as on my iMac. Also if I delete a email on my iPhone I would like it to delete in my Mail app on my iMac.
Is this possible? if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

New emails should automatically get pushed onto your device; however if you have read your emails on a different computer or device it will still show as unread on your iphone.
follow the following steps make sure that they are right:
Settings
Mail Contacts Calendar
Fetch new Data
Ensure that “Push” is on
Ensure that “Every 15 Minutes” is selected
Go down to advanced
Select the accounts outstanding and change them to “Push”

IPhone and .Mac Mail

It seems as if every other day or so that my iPhone forgets my .Mac mail. When I go to check my mail it has lost my .Mac accout. It goes to the mail setup screeen (yahoo, gmail, .mac, ect screen). Is this something I am doing or is there a way to stop this. I have to add my .Mac account back everytime and re enter all my info.

I figured it out on my own

Use of Notes with iphone and Mac Mail

I create notes on my iphone 4.
They appear in my Mac Mail, Mac OS X 10.7.5
When I move the note from my inbox to a folder, it disappears.
Any suggestions?

To get what you appear to want, you need to upgrade to 10.8 where notes is a separate application. If you decide to upgrade here is a list of supported computers:

Spam email via my iPhone and iPad

Hi - trying to find a fix to this problem. Even though I have my email filters set up on both my computer and on my verizon.net account, I am getting spam via my email on both my iPad and iPhone. This spam never makes it into my home mail account or appears in my email box in the verizon.net portal, yet i can't seem to stop it from coming into my devices. Any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks.

Your Verizon email comes from the Verizon servers, so spam filters on one device (i.e your computer) won't have any effect on another device (i.e. your iPad/iPhone).
Spam filters set up within your verizon.net account (i.e. the Verizon servers) will cover all devices that access your email.
Are you sure that your devices aren't set up with multiple email accounts?

IPhone and Mac Mail Issue

I recently got an iPhone 4 and I have had a Mac for a while. I love Apple's mail app and use it daily! I ran into a problem with my new iPhone though, the email accounts wouldn't "sync". I realize that this is because they are POP3 accounts. Does anyone have a step by step directions to import that email into a gmail, but have it act like the gmail wasn't there? (AKA It would import messages from Windstream thru gmail to my phone, and when I reply it goes back thru my windstream email. It would also "sync" the email account with the one of my Mac.) Thanks in advance!

Check the "Import your email and contacts from your old address" section of this "about gmail" article:

Just downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

JusJust downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

What happens when you go to the web based mail for your email account?
Are you able to login and send / receive messages from the web?
If so, you might need to check outgoing email settings on your iPhone
Settings > Mail, Contacts Calendars
Tap on the account you are having an issue with
Tap on the email address beside the word Account
Tap on info beside SMTP (SMTP = outgoing mail server)
Tap on the SMTP server name again.
Make sure server is turned on
Check settings & port info, password, etc.
Good luck!

I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original). Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc. However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded. Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

Hello there, Tamghosh.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Particularly:
I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do I sync my email on my iPhone and iPad?

How do I sync my emails on my iphone and iPad, I don't want to have to do them twice!

You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address. If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini. This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
So, the way I see it is, if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
EDIT: Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified. Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL
