How can i sync email deletions on my iPhone and iMac, and vice versa?

My email provider is Sky in the UK. While i am able to receive the same emails on both devices (imac and iphone) simultaneously, if I delete one on the iphone, it is not deleted on the iMac, and vice versa. I don't want to have to delete emails twice, once on each machine, but rather only once on one machine (and then that email would automatically disappear from the inbox of the other machine).
Is this possible? My sky account is IMAP on the Iphone, but POP on the IMAC. I tried changing it to IMAP on the iMac, but then i couldn't received email messages in MAIL on the iMac so reverted it back to a POP account.
Any advice appreciated. Spent way too many hours today trying to figure this out.
Thanks,
Joe

if it were imap on both, you'd be able to delete an email from one device and it would remove it from the other. they can't have different protocols and still sync with each other

  • How do I sync or copy videos from iPhone to iPad or vice versa

    Hi,
    I need to sync or copy videos shot in my iPhone to my iPad, appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    There are several Apps that allow transfers device to device via WiFi. I like PhotoSync the best, but there are others. Both devices need to be on the same WiFi network, but other than that the transfer is fast and goes either way. Works for photos and videos.

  • How can I sync up the IDOC definitions between PI/XI and R3?

    XI/PI gurus,
    We just applied SAP enhancement packs 4 to our R3 and some XI patches to our XI/PI and now we did not see the messages in our XI  QA box after the IDOC was sent out from R3.
    We think one possible cause was the IDOC definition are different between our XI and R3.
    How can I sync up the IDOC definitions between PI/XI and R3 and not mess up our existing mappings in XI?
    Should I just remove the import objects and reipmort the IDOCS from R3 again?
    Thanks in advance!
    Fisher Li

    Use transaction IDX2. The metadata must be deleted from the cache in IDX2, this can be done by selecting the appropriate system from the list, drilling  down the affected IDOC type and chosing delete
    The next time an IDOC is sent or received, the cache will be refreshed.

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

  • How can I sync email, contacts and calendar between computers and phones without a mobileme account?

    I recently added a macbook pro, ipad and imac to my work accounts and I'd like to be able to sync all of them together.  I believe the POP server that my company is using (small start-up) does not support this.  Basically, if I read email on the laptop, it does not show as read on the imac or my iphone.  If I send a message from one, it does not show up on the other devices.
    I figure there has to be a solution - it's driving me crazy basically having email in 3 different locations and none of it matches.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

  • Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

    When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

    It seems this is an unfair
    disadvantage for POP users.
    disconnekt,
    I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
    Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
    It's called IMAP accounts.
    In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
    Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
    Here's how I did it:
    1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
    2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
    3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
    4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
    Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
    Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

  • How can I sync my outlook calendar with iPhone or calendar on Maverick?

    I have just updated to Mavericks on my iMac. I use Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts and calendars. How do I now sync these on my iPhone ?
    The only sync seems to be via iCloud, this is sharing calendar and contacts on the iMac but if I make any calendar additions to the outlook calendar it doesn't copy to the phone or the iMac calendar and similarly if I add an item to the phone calendar it syncs to the iMac calendar but doesn't copy to outlook.

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
