Email Syncing - 3 device mirroring!

I have linked my Hotmail email account to my MacBook, iPhone and iPad.
Is there a way so that when I read and delete a message on one device, it mirror my actions on all devices... rather then me having to repeat myself on all three devices (Reading and deleting a message on my Mac, then reading and deleting the same message on my iPhone, and then finally reading and deleting the same message on my iPad)?

That's a function of the type of email account you are using. POP/POP3 accounts will not do this, IMAP (such as Gmail or iCloud email) or Exchange accounts will.

TS4083 Email Syncing Between Devices

I am having the opposite issue. When I read an email on my macbook the email appears read on the ipad and iphone. But if I read it on my iphone and ipad, it does not appear read on my mac. All are synced with my icloud account. Any thoughts??

What is assigned different Apple IDs? The iTunes account? If so, that has nothing to do with icloud. If all these devices sync (and I mean wirelessly, not via iTunes on a computer), then they are logged into the same icloud account.

Flagged email synced between devices

When I flag an email on my iMac, it does not show up as flagged on my mobile devices. Is this the way Mail works or should I be changing my settings to allow for it. All my devices have the latest software updates. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Are all games supposed to save data there?
Only the games that are compatible. Most aren't
That is why I referred you to their support. It can be happening by connecting to itunes, by connecting to game server, by connecting to Facebook, all depends on particulars of that game.

Email sync settings

Apparently the email sync settings are no longer available in email settings. I see illustrations with those settings available above "Notification settings", but they are not showing in my email settings.
I am running version ED2. Were these settings removed (presumably erroneously) between ED1 and ED2?
The overall sync settings in available in "Accounts & sync" (accessible by menu from Home) do NOT prevent sync in the Email app

Whoops, apologies: I didn't know how to better word the question.
I'm aware that emails sync between devices using IMAP.
I'm asking if there is a way to sync the actual email account informations between my Mac and this new iPad? I'm speaking of the SMPT settings, the password, the email account, all of the settings that are required to set up an email account. Or, is this to be done manually? I get that once these settings are set up, all of the emails and folders, etc, will start to populate and sync. I'm referring to the setting up of the email accounts.

How do I sync my email on multiple devices?

I read my email from several devices: my home computer, work computer, phone and ipad. If I read it on one device and delete it, is not deleted when I read it from the other devices. Is there a way to sync them so I can read, delete, save, file one time and not have to do it multiple times, depensing on what device I am using to read the email?

Closes is to have all your devices leave the email on the server rather then pull it all, but then you have to monitor space to make sure its not all lost. Perhaps have a email client on your main PC pull all copies but leave them for say 30 days before deleting. You would also have to cc yourself on sent mail.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?

Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

I have synced two devices in FF. Is it possible to know which computers are synced using? I am worried about someone figuring out my email address and password.

HI nilhanw,
No currently there is not manage devices, only manage device. However changing the password will change the certificates on all the devices within less of an hour.
I hope this helps.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Deleted emails not syncing across devices

Until recently when I deleted an email on one device, it would sync on all of them. Now I'm having to delete them manually on each one. I use various devices Samsung phones, Ipad, Android tablets and always worked fine. None of the settings have changed on any of them so not sure why it's suddenly stopped working. All still using imap servers.

I have this problem too..... very annoying

I want to sync my 3rd party email to all of my MACs. If i delete an email on one device i would like it to delete on all the others.

I want to sync my 3rd party email to all of my MACs. If i delete an email on one device i would like it to delete on all the others. Anyone have any luck. Maybe icloud? How do i switch it for exsiting emails on Apple mail. thanks!

I was also wondering why iCloud doesn't delete e mail across all devices when I delete it on one device.
It does, provided it is an iCloud email account (which is an IMAP account). Email from non-iCloud email accounts such as Comcast, etc. is entirely separate and is not managed in any way by iCloud.

I am also confused by the discussion that POP accounts don't sync using iCloud as I have been using my Comcast POP account as well as several other POP e mail accounts and I receive e mails from all these accounts across all my devices without issue (Mac Mini, MacBookPro 13, iPhone5).
As mentioned, your non-iCloud POP accounts are entirely separate email accounts and are not managed by iCloud. You are receiving email from your POP accounts on all your devices because you have the accounts set up on all your devices; but the email is being sent from your other email providers such as Comcast, not by iCloud.
sjc47 wrote:
When you say POP accounts don't sync are you all referring to the deleting of e mails which was one of the subjects of the original post or is it something else I'm missing?
Unlike IMAP accounts, POP/POP3 accounts only deliver email to your devices. Any subsequent changes that you make an email on any of your devices such as deleting a message, marking it as read, etc., will not be synced to your other devices. This will give you a little more information on the difference: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-gmail-anywhere-imap-versus-pop.htm l.

Syncing email on all devices?

Hello!
Ever since I have the new iphone I need to delete emails on different devices, it no longer deletes an email in my yahoo account if I just do it from 1 device, so I have to go to yahoo from each device and delete it! How do I change this?
Thanks
BJ

You must access your Yahoo account as an IMAP account with each device.
Unless all devices are iOS devices, you won't be able to.

How do i sync multiple devices (2 iphones, 2 iPads = all running iOS5) to one iMac (current Lion OS) and allow each to have separate calendars and contacts?

In my home we have 2 users with iphones and 2 users with iPad's. We are updating everything to iOS5 and have the most current Lion OS running (10.7.2). I have a MobileMe family pack so each has own e-mail account (@me.com), but only two are currently syncing calendars/contacts with MobileMe.
We want each device to sync with one iMac and to share all iTunes content (music, movies, TV shows), BUT have each sync individual calendars, contacts, and e-mail.
Is this possible, and if so what are the steps to set up properly?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I don't have a family pack, but I would imagine this would simply be a case of syncing the devices in iTunes as you normally would for media.
As for the iCloud (@Me) accounts, on each device open Settings > Mail, Con, Cal > Add Account > iCloud > enter each individual @me email address in the Apple ID field (Apple ID password also).
Sync what you wish from the options :-)
See Apple's FAQ's about the MobileMe transistion to iCloud

Does email sync over iCloud also support sync of non iCloud email accounts?

I use mac, ipad and iphone with sync over iCloud. While ipad and iphone sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email accounts, email sync between mac and ios devices works only for iCloud email account.
Please clarify whether iCloud should sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email account across all apple devices (mac, iphone, ipad) or it is not designed to do so.
Thank you.

Thank you for clarification.
However, after rechecking everything again, I can cofirm that full sync of all email accounts (icloud and non icloud) on all apple devices works perfectly as long emails originate from ios device. Unfortunately, this does work if email is sent from mac.
Thanks again.

Mail Sync between devices

Hi.
I have read several discussions but still have not found a solution. I have iphone 5S, Ipad Mini and Mac. When using Mail, both iphone 5S and Ipad are synced. This means that when I read and delete one email in one device (ie iphone), the other one (ie ipad mini) recognizes what i have done and I no longer find the email in any of the two. This is great! However, this sync does not happen in my Mac. Even though the email was deleted in iphone and ipad mini, I still find it in the Mac. This happens on the other way around as well. Based on what I have read, this is because my Mail account in the Mac is a POP instead of IMAP which would have allowed all the devices to be synced. The answers I have read are towards creating a new mail account and configure it as an IMAP one. However, changing an email account poses a big challenge. There are multiple subscriptions, friends, suppliers, etc with the email address. And changing the account will require updating all those stakeholders with the new email which I wouldnt like to do. I tried a workaround by creating a new IMAP account (ie NEW) and forward emails automatically from the OLD one to this NEW. And opening only the NEW account in all the devices. In the Mac I disabled the OLD POP account. But this configuration was not working very well. So I decided to enable the OLD POP account again. When I did this, my inbox filled with hundreds of historic emails that I had organized in mailboxes. I am noticing that these are duplicated! I opened a new mailbox, titled it as OLD and moved all the inbox into it to check it in the future. Plus, I started seeing in the activity box that Mail is now checking for thousands of incoming messages. I decided to hide this activity box.
So now, I am back to my original setting of a POP account, with a new mailbox with duplicated emails and a hidden activity box which apparently is searching for incoming emails! Quite an experience and without resolving what I tried to do!
Question: Is there a way to have the devices synced including Mac, iphone and Ipad Mini without loosing the email address originally configured in Mail Mac as a POP account?
I appreciate your responses...
Cesar

Csound1 and Eric: THANK YOU very much!!! Your feedback helped me solve my situation!!! Here is what I did in case anyone else wants to see what I did and can help them as well:
BACKING UP: I backed up my Mail first in case I did something bad during the process. Since I am using OSX Version 10.9.2, I was not able to see the Library/Mail. So, in Finder, I went to the "Go" in the Menu bar and pressed the alt key. I was then able to see the Library folder which I opened it. I looked the Mail folder and did a copy in an external hard drive. I went then to Preferences folder and copied the file com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile in my external hard drive. Since I wanted to be completely sure, I also did an export of each mailbox from the Mac to the external hard drive. With those 2 back ups, I proceeded with the next step.
DELETING IN iPHONE AND iPAD: I deleted the Mail account in my iphone and ipad. Not sure if this is required but wanted to start fresh.
CREATING iMAP ACCOUNT IN MAC: Then in Mail application in the Mac, I went to Mail in Menu bar and into Preferences. Under Account, I highlighted my POP account and pressed the - sign thus erasing it. I then pressed the + sign and configured the Account again with my same email address as you guys suggested. The Account was created as an IMAP one.
ORGANIZING AND TESTING: Suddenly many emails started to enter my inbox. Not to worry. I just noticed that since the Mail in Mac was not synching, the emails under the Gmail account when I entered it through the internet, were still there. Once I got the emails in my Mac inbox, I created a new Mailbox and moved all the inbox emails to it. I needed this so that the inbox in the Gmail account using internet, also was freed. With this, both inbox in Mac and Gmail in internet were now the same. I tested sending an email to my email address and it appeared in both the Mac and Gmail internet account. I deleted in one side and saw it also deleted in the other one! Good synch! So far, very good!
CONFIGURING iPHONE and iPAD: Finally, I configured the Mail in iPad Mini and then in iPhone. And tested sending some emails from different devices and erasing them from different ones as well. All devices are now synching!!!!
Thank you once again and have a Great day!!!
