Help with iphone mail

I am using an iphone, gmail, and mac mail. If I have a message in my inbox on my iphone, but I read it from mac mail, the message is removed from my iphone. How do i stop this from happening?

Just to make sure we understand... You don't delete the message on your Mac or move it to a folder, just read it? And it immediately disappears from your iPhone?
How is the Mac Mail GMail account configured?  [IMAP is the default but POP is an alternative.]
How is the iPhone GMail account configured?  [IMAP is the default but POP and Exchange ActiveSync are alternatives.]
Are you using the iPhone mail app or have you installed the GMail app?
Do you have any mail rules or filters configured on the GMail web site or the Mac Mail app?

  • Help with Apple Mail

    Okay, I have my Apple Mail linked to my Yahoo account, and it's been that way since April with no problems until recently.
    I moved into my college dorm on Saturday, and last night I realized that I've only been getting emails on my iPhone from Yahoo. What's more is that I can not send emails from my Apple Mail. And when I sent it from the Yahoo website, it took about ten minutes for it to get to my phone, and then it finally showed up on the Yahoo website after being read on my phone.
    If anyone can help me with this, I'd be extremely greatful because I appreciate the convenience of the Apple Mail. If it's any help, my Yahoo account won't even access Outlook either.
    I tried deactivating it on my iPhone, but it still wasn't popping up on the Apple Mail.
    Here's what the side bar looks like (pictured below), and when I click the "!," it says
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
    And if I take all accounts online, I get this
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
    So if anyone can help me fix this, it'd be a huge relief and I really appreciate it. =)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Help with e-mailing a form

    Hi, i am new to the forum and I just put up a new wesite for
    my company since the other one was outdated. I look around the
    forum to see what previous post could help me but no such luck. I
    am using Dreamweaver 8 and I need help with emailing a form.
    Here is the code of the form page and the script
    Can someone help me?

    The form needs to submit to a page that will have the email
    processing code
    on it. What you put there will depend on how you are sending
    the mail ..
    i.e. what server components are available to you on the
    server such as JMail
    or CFMail or PHPMail or ASPEMail .. etc. You already know
    what server model
    you are using and you should be able to find out what you
    have to work with
    on your host's web site.
    If this is not already an active web site with a server
    model, you can use
    something like Form Mail, a CGI script that will do that job
    for you ..

  • Help with sent mail address cache

    has anyone learned how to delete the addresses that come up when sending iphone mail? I accidentally sent an email to "f" and now every time I type f in the to: field, "f" is in the list of possible addresses to choose from (and it's not even a contact in my iPhone address book).
    It's irritating that i cant delete things in that suggestion list. Any thoughts out there?

    This is unfortunate.
    What if you've unsubscribed to a newsletter via the iPhone mail client ([email protected])? That means that address will be a suggestion forever each time you type a u in the To: field. Not to mention just accidentally misspelling an email address (which is bound to happen with the soft keyboard interface from time to time).

  • Can someone help with my Mail not working with my Microsoft Exchange server?

    I am trying to set up my Mail account. I am using the Microsoft Exchange server. I've been using Entourage, but wanted to switch to using the Mac's Mail. I used the same settings I had with Entourage, but with Mac Mail I'm getting this error: MFEWSErrorDomain error 56. From some of the other posts I saw, it seems as though no one has any answers, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

    There is no single cause of this problem and hence no single solution. There are several suggestions in this thread, if you haven't come across it, one of which might help:

  • I need help with IPHOne 4s IOS 7.0.4 battery life not improving

    Alright, I Ned help with my iPhone 4S battler life, it is horrible, it will drain in about 12 hours. All I do is check my email, text a few people, and check a few apps. When I may school, it is a hundred percent, then I check it during school etc, when I go to bed it is about 20-30% battery life. Need help. Any suggestions? I tried a hard resets and restoring to a new iPhone etc, nothing worked.

    I"m not at all sure what is the problem when you are describing your battery as holding its charge for 12 hours???
    How long do you want your device to hold its battery charge???
    Please see this article for tips on conserving battery charge. But PLEASE if you are looking for a device to hold its charge for LONGER than 12 hours I would suggest an android.

  • Hotmail/Outlook Not Syncing with iPhone Mail Correctly

    Here's the situation; I have a Hotmail account that I use almost exclusively with Outlook 2010 and iPhone (don't often access via Hotmail.com, if that matters).  I keep my Inbox in Outlook fairly "clean" and regularly delete and organize emails I want to keep, by moving them from my Hotmail Inbox to locally stored folders.
    My problem is; while the emails are apparently "off the server" -- in other words, they no longer appear in the Inbox in Outlook nor when accessed via Hotmail.com, they DO still appear in my iPhone Mail Inbox.
    Is there anyway to get Mail to recognize that these messages are no longer on the server and should no longer appear in my Inbox?
    Thank you!

    You need to set up the hotmail account on your iphone again.

  • Snow Leopard Mail not sync with iPhone Mail (iCloud)?

    Hello all,
    Just like to query and confirm:
    This is my sister's Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and her iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 on iCloud, she has activated iCloud on her iPhone, using the same Apple ID
    She has told me her desktop Mac mini's mail doesn't seem to sync with the mail on her iPhone, but it was, about 3 weeks ago
    I know both are different, her Snow Leopard would be running MobileMe and her iPhone would be running iCloud, even though both are using the same Apple ID.
    Is the Mail part regardless of whether on MobileMe or iCloud, they would sync, or will not?
    I guess the only thing to do now is to update her Mac mini to Lion as soon as possible.
    Thanks and cheers.

    Yes, you need to upgrade to Lion in order to use iCloud. MobileMe and iCloud are separate email services.

  • Apple desktop mail sync with iPhone mail more than 200 emails

    I want to have all my 8GB of email on both my iPhone and Apple desktop in sync.
    Currently I have several tens of thousands of emails on my desktop Apple Mail but iPhone only holds 200.
    My iPhone is 32GB has plenty of room. My desktop Apple mail folder is only 8GB.
    The best solution so far is Easy-Email proceedures and use OneMail on the iPhone.
    But Easy-Email requires several hours of somewhat complex set up and unfortunatly relies on Gmail to work.
    How to sync all my email on iPhone and desktop Apple Mail as easily as syncing using iTunes?
    I already know the answere, there is no solution.
    Any guesses if/when that will ever be possible?

    Your second paragraph is not relevant. No one would expect to download thousands of messages via cellular.
    The intial download of my thousands of messages would be via the iTunes sync. Any new mail in or out would be downloaded the same as it is now.
    Other persons starting new accounts wouldn't see anything except their mail boxes growing normally.
    My email ISP is POP. I've had the account for 14 years. I don't want to change my email address so I'll live with the problem and keep investigating alternative ways to have all my email on my devices, not just in the cloud.
    Though Apple's new cloud attitued does give me some hope that I'll be able to purchase extra GBs to keep all my Apple downloaded email devices in Sync and with the mail files accually on them even when not connected with the internet.
    By the way I do receive 300-500 emails a week. Due to the 200 message limit I have to check my iPhone often which is a pain. I get only 2-3 spam emails a week.

  • Help with iphone freezing

    Does anyone have any advice for an iPhone that is consistently freezing? When this occurs a white flickering bar appears across the top of the phone and the phone becomes unresponsive to touch. This happens randomly but frequently and lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes.

    Hello pinkk0407,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is frequently becoming unresponsive. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

    There is a problem with your iPhone.
    Please visit the Service Answer Center to find answers to all your questions about service options, warranty and other processes in your country.
    To find your nearest Apple Store, click here.
    2. I visited the apple store and they try restore the iphone and hapend but nothing changed is come up again the message.
    So one man from enginering take a phone for check and he sai that may be is been replaced the sreen and is not from apple brand, so may be for that reson is showing mesage.
    3. I open the phone and take out main board and put to good working phone. So what hapeand? same thing, same mesage come up. Never mind, I conect to itunes and hold button with power buton to restore phone again, but nothing changed same mesage on itunes.
    4. I check the IMEII if is blocked or no and is unblocked.
    Can anyone help with this issue?
    Thanks

    Nothing anyone can do for you. You have a second hand phone that's been repaired by an unauthorized 3rd party using counterfeit, stolen, or salvaged parts. Apple won't touch it, as you've learned.
    Buy a new phone. Preferably, from a legitimate source.

  • Hi i need help with iCloud mailing plz help me!

    hi my name its rexhep kamberi am having so many troubels with icloud mail i keep putting paswoord but keeps asking me and asking i dont know why but please help

    Try to delete your account from your device (Settings > iCloud) and then set it up again. This fixes the problem in most cases.

  • I need help with Mac Mail

    "The Yahoo! IMAP server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user "******""
    Why does this happen? I enter my Yahoo password correct and i click "Remember in Keychain"
    Wondering how i fix this. Thank you!
    <Email Edited By Host>

    If you haven't made any changes and suddenly the Mail program tells you a password is rejected, in most cases the password is just fine and there's nothing wrong with your computer. There's a little dance that goes on between your computer and the mail server when you check your mail and each step has a time limit set to it. If at any step time runs out the dance ends and Mail tells you there was a problem and in most cases the error message tells you that the password failed rather than reporting there was a time out error.
    There's a reason for this that only programmers would care about. In most cases if you ignore the error message and try again later your mail comes through. What's really crazy is that sometimes (and this happened to me with both iCloud and gmail earlier this week) you can't get mail with the Mail app but you can log in with Safari and get your mail just fine. That's nice because you can verify that you really do know your password but annoying because it makes you think something may be wrong with your computer.

Maybe you are looking for
