Getting mail on iphone and outlook

I use Outlook 2003 and have an imap gmail account that I need to access from both my laptop and iphone. Right now, if I get mail on my iphone, it does not come to my laptop and visa versa. I don't want it to come to my phone once I have it in Outlook, but if I get something on the road on my phone, I still need it on the computer for my records.
I've read everything I can find and I seem to have the settings all done correctly, but the problem persists. Please help!

How did you create your Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail client?
If you used the Gmail account preset to create the account, the account is created as an IMAP account.
I don't want it to come to my phone once I have it in Outlook, but if I get something on the road on my phone, I still need it on the computer for my records.
Then you need to access the account as a POP account with Outlook and with the iPhone's Mail client. With Outlook, you need to remove messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook so the new messages downloaded by Outlook will not be downloaded by the iPhone, and quit Outlook when away from your computer or new messages automatically downloaded by Outlook will be removed from the server when downloaded and the messages will not be available for download with the iPhone's Mail client. With the account settings on your iPhone, you can select do not remove messages from the server when downloaded so any new messages downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client will be available for download with Outlook when returning to your computer and launching Outlook.
If you access the account as an IMAP account, this will not be possible, but any messages downloaded and read with Outlook will be available when accessing the account with the iPhone Mail's client but marked as read automatically, and vice versa since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

    I also run this mail on my company PC who is running Outlook 2007
    When I am moving a email from a Inbox to a folder on my Outlook 2007 this will not be updatet on my Iphone, but if I move a eemail from Inbox to a folder on the Iphone this updates on the Outlook 2007
    Do anyone know what this error can be?

    Well, I signed up on my mac and then added the account to my iphone.  Then I added the folders on my mac.  They are all Smart Malbox folers with rules.  Is that the problem?  I've read somewhere that your phone won't sync the smart mailboxes ???
    Thanks.

  • How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

  • Receiving mail on both iphone and outlook

    Setting up my mail accounts on iphone3 and when mail is being received on my iphone it does not appear in my outlook aswell and vice versa, how do I receive same mail on both iphone and outlook?

    Set it up as IMAP or configure it so that, while using POP, it retains a copy of the message on the server so that it can be downloaded again on multiple clients.

  • Emails on iPhone and Outlook

    I have a virgin email account and have set up my iphone to receive these emails. However I'm having problems getting these emails to go to both my iPhone and Outlook on my computer. Sometimes it works fine and I'll find the same email on both devices, however sometimes it will only make it to my iPhone and sometimes only to Outlook. The email is never deleted off the server whichever (or both) device it ends up on.
    My settings are:
    Host Name: mail.virgin.net
    SMTP: smtp.virgin.net
    SSL: On
    Server Port: 25
    Advanced
    SSL: On
    Delete From Server: Never
    Server Port: 995
    Does anyone know how I can ensure that my emails make it to Outlook even when they also make it to my iPhone?
    Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

  • Problems with synching calendars between iPhone and Outlook 2007 on Windows

    I recently purchased a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64. It was an English version, but since it is ultimate I downloaded and changed it to Danish - so far so good...
    I have synch'ed between outlook and iPhone on a Vista platform without problems, but now on windows 7 when I sync - the result is, that on my iPhone the meetings, work schedules and birthdays I have in my calendar is shown a day too soon!!
    I have checked that both iPhone and Outlook start the week on Mondays, so that is not an issue - I have updated my iPhone to the newest software with out any luck - so now I try and write here instead - hopefully someone can help me...
    thanks in advance

    yes they were set to the same timezone - which puzzled me a lot...
    I lost a lot of sleep, but I can now say that I have solved the problem...
    What I did was, that I un-installed microsoft office (desperate I know!) - then ran a sync with the iPhone choosing to overwrite the Calendar in the phone - as there was no calendar present - it deleted what was on the phone. Then I re-installed Microsoft office, by doing that, I didn't loose anything because the user files was still present including mail setting etc. - resynced the iPhone - and now it works...
    Just can't figure out what went wrong in the first place...
    thank you for your answer

  • Calendar times do not match between iphone and outlook

    I have an iPhone 4S, at work I use a PC and Outlook.  I have both my PC and my iPhone on the same time zone.  If I set an appointment in either calendar the time gets switched in the other.  For example:  I set an appointment in my iphone calendar for 11am.  One my outlook calendar it shows the same appointment at 10am.  Both systems are set to the same time zone, what gives?  How do I fix this?
    Another thing I should add is I am in Saskatchewan Canada.  We do not switch time for daylight savings in March an November. So when the time switched in November everthing works great, it is only between March and November whe this problem arrises.  Saskatchewan is a setting in timezones for bothe the iphone and outlook so I don't think this should matter.  Unless one of the companies does not know Saskatchewan does not change times.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple puts Saskatchewan into Central Standard Time, which isn't correct.  Then when it syncs to Outlook, Outlook puts the appointment into the CST time zone, instead of the Saskatchewan -6 time zone.  The problem is Apple's iCloud sending the wrong information to Outlook.
    Need a fix for this please.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • HT1692 Help--I need my iphone and Outlook Calendars to talk to each other.

    After the last iOS update, my iphone and Outlook calendars are not communicating:
    My iphone calendar sends to the gmail account associated with MS Outlook, but not to icloud--it does receive from iCloud.
    Outlook does not to go to iCloud, or for that matter, to the gmail account that Outlook is associated with--nor does Outlook receive events from iCloud.
    So, iCloud doesn't get stuff from iphone calendar, and after an aborted try at self-fixing, is no longer connected with Outlook at all.
    I've tried to work through iSolutions, etc., but can't seem to follow, or match my circumstances, to what is provided. Can someone give me simple, step by step instructions on where my settings should be at all 3 points? I would be very grateful!

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first, So im trying to redownload the music and ringtones i've bought off of itunes. I found under purchased my songs how can i redownload all the ringtones i bought off itunes?

    I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first so im trying to redownload all of the songs and ringtones i purchased i found my songs but how can i redownload all the ringtones i have already purchased.

    Apps can be re-downloaded for free (instrutions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Media (musiv, films, tv, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups of your content, especially purchased content. You can try contacting Apple via the Lost or Missing Items under the Music Purchases tab on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/ - but Apple are under no obligation to let you re-download any content (and if they do it may be on a one-off basis, and you might not be able to do so again in the future)

  • I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes.  when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

    i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes.  when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
    However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

  • Synchronizing my contacts between iPhone and Outlook

    I currently synchronize my calendars between my iPhone and Outlook via the USB connection between my computer and the phone. I tried to do the calendar synchronization through the iCloud, as that looked really slick, but I didn't like some of the side effects, so I went back to synchronizing directly between my computer and my phone. It seems like to synchronize the contacts, the only option is to use iCloud, but I don't know if I can do that only for the contacts and not have my calendar involved? Any suggestions on how I do this?

    Hello there, kenw100.

  • After syncing, lost almost all contacts (except 12) on iPhone and Outlook

    I did a sync on Thursday and I lost almost all contacts (except 12 contacts) on both iPhone and Outlook. Only 6 of remaining 12 contacts were new entries since last syncing. So, some old contacts stays and most of got ereased. I tried to search for possible solutions with no luck. I got my iPhone in Asia to be able to have Chinese character input. I am traveling now and it looks like I dont' have a backup file of my outlook.
    Is there a way to retrive the contact data from the iPhone Hard Drive?
    Need help ASAP.

    Not sure what happened here, but I'm not aware of an iTunes prompt to sync an iPhone that is connected. Each iPhone includes a preference setting to automatically sync with iTunes when connected - which I recommend turning off. This is selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. iTunes includes a preference setting to not automatically sync and iPod or iPhone when connected. This is a personal choice, but I prefer manually syncing, or syncing when I want to in case I want to make any changes before my iPhone is synced.
    I assume your Father does not maintain a backup of his Address Book data on his Mac, or any other important data? The Address Book application includes a simple and quick backup Address Book option which is important to use when syncing any device, but is important regardless in case a problem arises with the Address Book database.
    On your Father's Mac, with the Address Book application quit, go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
    Within the Address Book folder, move the AddressBook.data file to the Desktop.
    Change the name of the AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data or remove the .previous extension from the file name so it is AddressBook.data only.
    Cross your fingers and launch the Address Book application. If the Address Book data is not restored, and your Father does not have a backup of his Address Book data, the data is lost.
