Email syncing question

I have recently switched to only the iphone for retrieving/reading my email. Thus, as is normal practice, I leave some in the inbox indefinitely if it is not yet dealt with or is a reminder I need. During backup/sync, does the iphone backup the messages in the inbox, or is this expected to also be in Outlook (with which it syncs calendar/contacts but no longer gets email on my PC)

I don't think e-mail is synced at all. It is retrieved from the server like any other mail application.
Here is an article found by searching Apple support.
"You can use iTunes to sync content on your computer (such as music, podcasts, videos, ringtones1, photos, email account settings, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks) with your iPhone or iPod touch2. Syncing makes sure this content is the same on your iPhone or iPod touch and computer. iTunes will also create a backup of settings and certain other information on your iPhone or iPod touch when you sync to use in case you want to restore the software on your iPhone or iPod touch or transfer this information to a different device. Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences. Applications purchased from the App Store are included in the backup, however they can only be successfully restored to the same device that they were backed up from."

ICloud email sync question

Hello,
I am a bit confused about iCloud email functionality. I was under the impression that iCloud was supposed to keep it's mailbox on all of your devices synchronized. So if I'm on the iCloud Web page and look at my inbox there, read a message and delete it, should it not also be automatically deleted from the iCloud inbox on my iPhone? This is not happening, the message still remains visible in my iPhone's inbox folder.
If the message should have also been deleted from my iPhone perhaps I set something up incorrectly? If not, then what is the advantage of iCloud email vs Gmail?
Many thanks.

i'm punting until next week. i think they have a lot of bugs to work out. i've never seen the community support pages humming like this. everyone is having a sync problem of one sort or another. hate to get all zen on you, but i'd say, don't worry about it for about a week.
I'm starting to think that Mobile Me was their finest hour ...

Basic question: will email sync with icloud?

will my email sync?
I don't understand what it means when it tell me that when you switch to icloud your mail accounts won't sync. Please explain?

Yes it will Linda,
     When .mac/mobile Me gets moved (when you make the choice to do so) to the new iCloud servers, your mail will be as you expect.
     Mobile Me & .Mac used to synch mail 'account info' and/or mail 'rules' but it never synched the actual e-Mail itself. These two settings now are not explicitly backed up to iCloud like they used to be.
     You lose no mail or accounts, but you do not have the ability to re-synch a new Mac or a re-built Mac on the same account on the way that you used to be able to do. However, you probably will never need to because iCloud is now the master computer for mail operations—so to speak. And when you register a new computer or iDevice on iCloud mail will come along with it if you so choose.

Need help with email sync utilizing gmail...

I have the new curve 8520 and I use google sync for calendar and contacts. My question is regarding my emails syncing though. When I delete my email from my phone, it deletes from gmail, which is what I want. However, when I delete email on my my computer through gmail, it does not sync on my phone and I have to go into my phone and manually delete. How can I make my email sync up on both ends, both ways? Am I not being patient enough?

Try going into your Gmail on phone and click menu key and options... email reconciliation and set your conflicts setting to mailbox wins and see if that helps

Email sync problem between iPad Air and iPhone 6+

Hello,
I have a user that travels quite a bit. We use Office 365 Enterprise
for our emails. He is reporting email sync issues between iPhone and iPad. Meaning
sometimes he will receive emails on the iPhone but not on the iPad or vice versa.
Both devices use the same AT&T network. Does anyone out there have any
suggestions as to what may be causing the sync problem between devices? I am
not sure if the devices ever have the same emails on the inbox. Does this make
sense? I will be happy to provide any other information if needed.
Thank you!

Hey daniel hkn,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like the email account may be configured and setup as a POP account. If so, check out this resource:
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201855
When using the same POP email account on more than one device, email messages may appear only on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server after an email client has received it. You can configure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your inbox.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Email sync on BB

I've been commiserating with fellow Verizon users at work. For the last three weeks I've been having email sync issues with Outlook. Our helpdesk has done some investigating and it's not our companies enterprise system - it seems to be a Verizon specific issue. No other BB users are having the issue with their carriers.
The emails I delete from my Outlook will not delete on my BB. I have tried the reconcile now button. I have done numerous battery pulls, a software upgrade, anything I've read on blogs.
Is anyone else having this issue and as frustrated as I am? I know I can call Verizon directly but don't have the time to trouble shoot with them.

Hi. I am sorry you are having issues with your email sync. I will be happy to look into this issue for you. I do have a couple of questions so I can research this further.
How long has this been going on?
Did you make any updates or download any applications before this started happening?
What version of the operating system are you using?
Waiting on your response. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

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.

Email syncs now say "Updated Mar 30", the day I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0. The notification should read the date and time you updated email receiving. Does anyone elsehave this problem?

Email syncs now say "Updated Mar 30", the day I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0. Two days later it is still saying Mar 30. The notification should read the date and time you updated email receiving. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution to this?

Need some help tweaking email sync between iPod Touch, MacBook Pro, please

I'm hoping there are some settings I can tweak to prevent any already downloaded mail in my MacBook Pro Mail app from being deleted when syncing to my iPod Touch.
For example, I had an email downloaded from an IMAP account onto my MacBook Pro Mail app. The email remained on the IMAP server. I ran a test drive of the iPod Touch for the first time, and it successfully downloaded the handful of items on the IMAP server. I deleted the email in question from the iPod. When I synched the two gadgets, the email also disappeared from my MacBook Pro.
Ideally, I want the MacBook Pro Mail to be the primary archive for all incoming and outgoing emails. When I retrieve email on my BlackBerry, the mail remains on the server - when it downloads to the MacBook Pro Mail app, it just appears with an "already read," no blue dot status. I'd like to use the iPod in the same fashion - to send and receive emails when I'm away from the laptop.
So, I guess the short version of the question is: How do I prevent mail that I delete from the iPod from also being deleted from the MBP?
Thanks,
Tim

I am confused. you can ony sync to one computer/iTunes libray. You can manage music among different computer though. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
What do you mean by "different user's name"? Where is the user's name specified?

How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop and my laptop?

How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

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.

Are there any Outlook Email Sync Tools Available f...

Hi, I've had the n900 for a while now, bit peeved with it, was sold as having proper tbt gps etc, that's another story I guess and one which is well documented elsewhere . Only getting round to setting up my email sync now and guess what, it doesn't work!! You don't seem to be able to sync emails between Outlook and the n900, not using PC Suite or OVI suite from what I can see. My work domain and mail is hosted on gmail, I leave a copy of the messages on the server so I can get in Outlook and on the device. Sometimes when I read a message, or reply to a message on the n900 it will never come through to Outlook, even though a copy is being left on the server. it would be nice if a sync tool was available for this, anyone know of any?
Thanks
Eamonn

you have a couple of options.
first, you have to know that ALL messages you send from your n900 do not get put on the server, but are actually in your "sent" folder on you n900.   so you will need to open that folder, and select all, then move to a folder on your server.....should you be using imap.
next.   i would recommend that you set up your email as imap. it is similar to using MS exchange except that it is free, it does not sync your contacts, it does not sync you calendar. but works great. you will be able to see all your folders on your gmail account and even be able to transfer all your sent email on you n900 to your sent email on your gmail account.
i would stay away from OVI suite as it will just make a mess.   with the n900, it is not necessary to have anything sync with outlook, except your contacts, notes, calendar. so use PC Suite instead as it works solid!
now, since you are new, there is a way to make your n900 email work much faster and smoother as well.
first, install these repositories to your n900 for future use. just click on the links within the browser of your n900 and they will auto-install for you.
EXTRAS-TESTING
EXTRAS-DEVEL
now open your appmanager and install rootsh. (this will help you for later as you read in this forum...at least for things that CPitchford and Ceroberts75 post)
now, here are directions to make your email client work much faster. since i cannot attach a .tar file to this, if you send me a pm, i will send you a link to download a safe copy of it for you to use.
save the .tar file to root folder (your root folder is going to be n900 or whatever you named your unit)
open xterm
sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs
to install, use this code:
tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz -C /
NOTE: There are 2 spaces after the ".gz" and 1 space after the "-C"
it will just do an immediate prompt again, and seem like nothing happened, but it did.
to uninstall and go to original settings, use this code:
apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest
now for the Nokia Messaging: i started a thread for this Nokia Messaging.   Nokia messaging will auto-sync all your email like stated above, but there are different limitations to alerts and such on the n900 and if you only have a few email addresses, imo, it is better to just set them up in the modest email client (standard email installed). it will also save a few taps everytime you have to see the email.
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
with symbian, you just need to go to email.nokia.com and install it.
but...on maemo, it is built in.
open email client
menu
new account
next (wait for it to search)
choose your region
service provider: Nokia Messaging
next
e-mail address: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
password: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
next
it will search...and probably have an error with server and then ask to have you put in all the advanced information. use this information below:
email address:
your nokia messaging login email
incoming:
mail.nokia.com
143
outgoing:
mail.nokia.com
587
with no securities used.
next
this should do it and then you will see it start to sync.
then you can go into the settings of nokia messaging and set up the sync settings and times.
now when you open your email client, you will see "Nokia Messaging"
when you tap on that, you will now see all the email addresses you have set up for nokia messaging.
you can add up to 10 email addresses on the nokia messaging....and i am currently using 6 on my integrated email client...so you can have at least 16 email address on your n900 now, probably up to 20.

Email Sync on Vista 64 not working

Hi,
I am using a N79. I have configured the Email Sync and it's working fine with Vista 32 bit.
Now I've got a new PC with Vista 64 bit. I installed the PC Suite with the same version I as on the 32 bit Viste (7.1.30.9)
The N79 is recognized by the PC Suite and a sync is possible for Notes, Callendar and Contacts but NOT for E-Mail
On the 32 bit PC the E-Mail sync is available.
Any Idea?
Thanks
okm
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, thanks for the update hint, but at the moment it is not possible (please do not start a discussion and accept my answer) It is working now. I deinstalled everything, used the PC Suite Cleaner, restarted my PC. I downloaded the PC Suite again and installed it. After the installation I plugged my device in. The driver was not recognized and I downloaded the USB driver. After the installation the device was recognized and I can sync Emails again. Regards and Thanks OKM

FCP Sound Syncing Question

Hey Everyone,
I have an audio syncing question for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am cutting in FCP. I logged and captured my footage and with timecode breaks, etc. the tape was cut up, and I was left with eight files, let's call them Footage1-Footage8. I have completed my cut of the piece using the in-camera audio that was linked to the video on the DV tape that I imported. Our sound guy in the field used a DAT recorder to record the production audio and apparently captured the timecode to the audio files, so that it matches the video (i.e. the DAT recorder and our cameras - DVX-100s had synced timecode during the shoot). The DVD he gave me has 20 audio files as .wav, let's call them Audio1-Audio20. My question is, now that I have finished my cut, I would like to replace the current audio tracks with the production audio. How can I sync the audio with the video and replace it in what I've cut. Or perhaps I can't, in which case - how can I sync them up and THEN cut, but I'd really rather have to not do that, lol!
Thanks for your advice!

Sorry about the long winded post, though.
I guess my real question, summarized is - is there a way to sync separately recorded production audio (that has timecode) with the footage that I shot (that has the same timecode as the audio, but also has in camera audio that accompanies the video track - I would imagine I can just "cut" the extra audio tracks, however).
I'm at my bay trying to figure this out, and I've got nothing, and the people I work for don't want to spring for that bwf2xml program you were talking about What's the emote for pulling one's hair out?

ICloud email sync - images not showing

I have email synced through iCloud on my Macmini and MBP. Images in emails show fine on my Mini, but not on my MBP. I've checked my mail preferences on my MBP but these appear to be fine. There appears to be no differences in my mail settings on both machines so I am wondering if there is an iCloud setting I am missing - has anyone come across this?

Hi SPSAdminTC,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you open the email in the phone, the image in the mail body didn't show up correctly.
As you can access the images in browse, the issue seems more related to the outlook client.
I suggest you can try to open another mail which includes pictures to check whether it works correctly.
Best Regards
