How can I sync my email account with "mail"? When I delete a message using "mail" it does not delete that message on "Safari" when I check on it. Can I change this?

It is the same way on my iPod and iPhone so I just stopped checking my e-mails on them.

Yes there is an option to Remove from server emails that are deleted and then emptied out of the trash folder. At least there are in most email programs so I would think Mac Mail offers this. But after you delete them and empty the trash in the mail program you have to again Check Your Email so that the server knows that email was deleted.

How do I sync 3 email accounts with iPhone

I have 3 email accounts all currently appearing on iMac (using entourage). I tried mobileme and couldn't seem to get all 3 to work. Had a chat with apple support and they say I can't use mobileme for more than 1 email address.
What is the best was to set up my iPhone to get the 3 email accounts to appear?
Thanks

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created

my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

How can I sync my email accounts to avoid having to manually delete or move messages

How can I sync my email on iPad to avoid having to manaually delete or move messages from different accounts?

Set all your email accounts up as IMAP (instead of POP3) so that the messages are stored on the server. Then whatever actions you take on a message on your iPad will be "in sync" across all other devices/computers you access that email account from.

Syncing aol email accounts with mail?

I'm new to Mac, and I love my macbook but I can't figure out how to set up my aol email accounts using imail. Is that possible? I have two aol email accounts and I've been going on aol.com to check my messages but lately it hasn't been loading so I don't know what to do!
How can I sync my aol email accounts with imail? Is aol considered IMAP?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes, AOL accounts must be set up as IMAP in Mail, but AOL has a lot of idiosyncrasies and some really nasty “features” that normal IMAP accounts don’t have and that you should be aware of.
To more easily set up your AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
Instructions for setting up an AOL account in standard mail clients such as Mail should be available somewhere on AOL’s website, and can also be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
These instructions are for Mail 1.3, and are somewhat outdated, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x, and I believe you can now enable SSL for both the incoming (Preferences > Accounts > Advanced) and the outgoing mail server if you wish.
Instead of the settings shown in the article for Trash, you may want to turn ON Move deleted messages to the Trash, but in that case you should turn OFF Store deleted messages on the server.
AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved — that’s why you must turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that they are stored locally instead.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of (which is also somewhat outdated, but still useful to understand how AOL’s IMAP access works):
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Note in particular that AOL automatically purges your mail from Inbox after some time. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.

Can't sync back email accounts

Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

How to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud

I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
How can I do this?
Can you help?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

TS4083 How can I sync all email accounts to my iphone?

There used to be an info section in iTunes that allowed you to sync email accounts from your iMac to your phone but this option seems to have been removed now from iTunes. Has it moved to iCloud somehwere? If so, how can I sync the accounts from my iMac? Thanks is advance for your help!

Thanks! I knew how to do that already :/ Just upgraded to a 5s and didn't want to manually enter my accounts and server settings again (there are 10 email accounts) as I actually don't remember most of the passwords. I backed up settings from my old iPhone 4 before swapping the sims over and have managed to restore the 5s from that backup which copied over all of my email accounts, great success! However, just had to access cpanel for all accounts to reset the passwords as they are not copied over.
Thank you for your prompt reply!

How do I sync multiple email accounts on ipad

So I'm now, dubiously, the lucky owner of iPad mini with up to date software and iMac with latest software.
It now seems apple have decided they don't want me to use more than one email account and so have stopped me being able to sync them ? Even for apple this is breathtaking in its arrogance and fascistic nature...
Anyone any ideas?

By synchronize, I suspect you mean that reading or deleting a message on one device will result it its being read or deleted on the other device. If so, this is only possible for IMAP accounts or exchange accounts. This is not an iPad limitation but a limitation in the email system protocols. iCloud mail is an IMAP system; so, iCloud email will synchronize automatically. There could be a slight delay in this, but it works.
Many email systems (Comcast may be one of the more common) are POP accounts. Those won't sychronize at all regardless of device used.
If by synchronize you mean that you can have the account on multiple devices and that's all; no problem regardless of the system. But, remember that you will download all your POP messages even if you have read and deleted them on another device. That can be a pain.

I can't sync my email accounts to my iOS devices.

All my IMAP emails accounts sync to my computers via iCloud and Internet Accounts in the system preferences and Apple Mail. How do I sync them to my iOS device? Shouldn't it be automatic?
iTunes used to have a feature to replace email accounts from this computer top force it to a device. What happened to that? All software is current and up to date we all on 10.9.
Please help.

Hi dpavid,
Hi again, and I’m sorry I did not completely understand your situation on the first try. It sounds like your other (non-iCloud) email IMAP accounts are not syncing with your iOS devices.
This might seem like an odd question, but have you actually set up those email accounts on these devices? iCloud does not actually do this for you, each account, such as Gmail, Yahoo or any other mail service provider, needs to be set up on each device you are using it with.
Information on how to set up an account can be found in this document -
iPhone User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically -
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account.
See page 16 under Set up mail and other accounts.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
