E-Mail on Multiple Devices

I have an iPhone 4 a iPad 2 with iOS5.1 and a 2nd generation iPod... I am having problems with mail being seen on all my devices.  For instance if I open my email account on the iPad the mail is not displayed in the iPhone unless I power off the phone.  It then displays.  I have the same type of issue with my mail temporaritly disappearing from folders with in the mail application until i reboot my device.  Any ideas?
Thanks

How is the email account  set up?  Exchange? IMAP? POP3?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • Syncing Mail Between Multiple Devices?

    Hey guys,
    So I'm trying to get back into the groove of things with my new Mac, however I'm experiecing one annoying problem.
    I've set up MacMail to my email accounts, but when I read and/or delete them on my computer, it doesn't regiester anywhere else.
    So if I look at my phone, all the messages I had deleted earlier still remain. Same if I log onto the website which hosts the email (Gmail/Outlook).
    Is there a preference option I'm overlooking, or some way I can set it up so that actions on one device will carry over to the others?
    Thanks.

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
    Have you tried setting the account up as an Exchange account?
    otherwise.....manual setup would be
    Apps that support IMAP and SMTP
    If your email app doesn’t support Exchange ActiveSync, it might use IMAP. Unlike POP, which only syncs your inbox, IMAP syncs all your email folders.
    Use the following settings in your email app.
    Incoming (IMAP) Server
    Server address: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted Connection: SSL
    Outgoing (SMTP) Server
    Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
    Authentication: Yes
    Encrypted Connection: TLS
    User name: Your email address
    Password: Your password
    Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp-mail.com:"email address"
    won't work as shown above

  • Sync Mail between multiple devices

    Can anyone help? I own a MacBook Pro, an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad. I have managed to sync mail between the iPhone and the iPad using Microsoft exchange, so that if I delete an e-mail on the phone or the iPad then it is deleted on the other.
    However I can't sync the two computers in the same way, can anyone help and tell me how to sync Mail across all 4 units?
    (I used Exchange because the e-mail account is a Hotmail account and I was told, that's the only way I can do it).
    Regards and thanks in advance.
    Colin

    Microsoft publish the settings needed for Hotmail Imap, they work, use them.
    They are:
    For incoming connections:
    Server address: "imap-mail.outlook.com"
    Server port: "993"
    Encryption type: "SSL"
    For outgoing connections:
    Server address: "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
    Server port: "587"
    Encryption type: "TLS" ("SSL" can be used if TLS is not an option)

  • ICloud mail on multiple devices

    I have my iCloud mail turned on on both my iPad and iPhone.  The mail comes to my iPad, but it doesn't come to my iPhone.  When you go into settings it shows it in accounts, but when I go into the mail app it doesn't show my iCloud mailbox.  How can I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume it shows mail as enabled in settings > iCloud, try turning it off, restarting the phone and then turning it back on again.

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

  • HT5538 using apple id on multiple devices

    Do I create seperate apple Id's for my ipod and iphone, I want to share my itunes library with both devices?

    You can share the ID for iMessage and iCloud, no problem.  In fact, some people prefer it that way to get messages across multiple devices and/or get iCloud e-mail across multiple devices and/or share a photo stream without having to manually Share a photo stream.
    The only problem with using the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime is if different people use the devices.  In that case, all one has to do is de-select the ID in the "Receive at..." setting and designate a different e-mail address.
