How do I get emails that I've already flagged (from my hotmail account) onto my mail app on my mac?

Hopefully you can help me, I have flagged some important emails on my Hotmail email account before I just recently switched to a mac. I have been using the email app for mac instead of going onto Safari and logging in that way since it's more convient BUT I've noticed that my flagged emails from my Hotmail account is not showing up on my 'Flagged' tab on the app, only the ones I've recently flagged.
Help?

That's how it works. The messages reside on the server and are read from there by your Mac and iOS device, so deleting a message means deleting it from the server, and obviously it will then disappear on your other devices. Think of it like webmail and it makes sense.
You can move the messages to a local mailbox on your Mac - just create a new mailbox, making sure that it's listed under 'On My Mac' not 'iCloud', and then you can simply drag any messages you want to archive to it. This will copy them down to your Mac and remove them from the server.

  • After downloading Safari upgrade 5.0.5 emails prior to 12/2010 disappeared from my hotmail account. How do I restore?

    on 4/22/2011 I downloaded an upgrade "Safari 5.0.5" and afterwards I noticed emails prior to Dec 2010 disappeared from my Hotmail account on my iMAC. The are still in residence on my PC running Windows Vista meaning this problem is specific to my iMAC running version 10.6.7. I have the disappeared email problem whether i use Safari, Firefox or Camino browsers. What can I do to restore my emails on my imac?

    It you are viewing the email from a Mac browser app, then it stands to reason that the email resides on the Microsoft mail server, not on the iMac. If the email is no longer available for viewing, then logically the email has been removed from the server.
    The question then is, how are you accessing the email from the Windows machine? Are you also viewing the email from a browser app, such as Internet Explorer, or are you using an email client app? If you are also viewing the email from a browser on the Windows computer, then you have a bit of an enigma, why is the email available for viewing from a Windows browser, and not from a Mac browser? However, if you are using an email client app, such as Entourage, then the email client app has likely been configured to download the email to your Windows box and to then delete the email from the server after having done so.

  • How do I add my Hotmail account to my Mail app on my MacBook Pro so that it synchronize automatically ?

    Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I know that you can add email accounts likeHotmail into your Mail app so that you can view, edit, modify, create and delete your emails and folders, etc. The questions I have are (1) can I see all the emails I have not just in the inbox but all the other folders as well just like if I was logging on to Hotmail via Internet Explorer ? (2) what happens if I read some emails, delete or move some emails, create new emails and send or save in draft, create or delete folders, etc in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, will this synchronize and reflect the same on my Hotmail account if I was to logging via Internet Explorer ? How about the other way ? If so, how do I set it up on my MacBook Pro to do this automatically ?
    I know that this doesn't work with Hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4 via the Mail app. Everytime I read an email or delete an email on my Mail app, it does not synchronize or reflect the same on my live Hotmail account when I logging via Internet Explorer.
    Any help, guidance or advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Edit: never mind, I was using the wrong password

  • Mail is freezing up on 1 email (that I've already deleted from my gmail)

    The Situation:
    I have mac mail set up to send/recieve from my gmail account. Usually it's all been working fine.
    Problem:
    Someone sent me 40 emails with a 20MB attachment in each email. Mac Mail now tries to download the messages but freezes up. I went into gmail and deleted the messages with the attachments. but Mac Mail still freezes whenever I try to get new mail from my gmail.
    I've already used the "get account info" to delete messages from the server. Mail is just **** bent on pull these "unpullable" messages from my gmail account.
    What do I do?

    Yes I've restarted everything a few things..!
    It's like Mac Mail has the large messages (or whatever it is that is clogging up the pipeline) cached somewhere and can't remove it from the stream. I'd delete the gmail mailbox from Mac Mail if that would fix it, but I am afraid I'll loose all my mail.
    Thanks 2point5 !

  • Apple Mail moved all my email from my hotmail account to apple Mail

    I have already stopped my new mail in hotmail to get deleated and sent to apple Mail.
    I want to know if it's possible to sent the mail that was sent to apple Mail back to my hotmail account
    Thanks

    It is usual, but not absolutely necessary, for emails to be downloaded from server to TB mail account Inbox and then delete them off the server.
    I personally, delete all but the last 30 days off the server, so that between my monthly backup and the emails on the server, I could retrieve most if not all mail in the event of a loss.
    You could get the emails back on the server, but you may notice that all the dates seem to change to the date when you put them back on the server.

  • How can I get songs that I didn't purchase from ITunes from my phone onto my computer?

    I have tried syncing my phone onto my library in iTunes but I cannot get the music to appear in my iTunes library because I have not purchased them within the store. Is there a way for me to get these songs on there?

    They came from your computer in the first place, so they should still be there or in the backup copy of your computer.
    The iPhone sync is one way - computer to iPhone.  The only exception is iTunes purchases.  The iPhone mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • HT1491 How do I get ringtones that I have already purchased again on my new iphone?

    help!!!

    You can't re-download purchased ringtones.  Ringtones are also not included in the iPhone backup.  If your purchased ringtones aren't in your iTunes library so you can sync them back to your phone you'll have to contact iTunes store support to see if they will give you a credit so you can purchase them again (http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html).

  • When I delete an email from my hotmail account in the 'mail' application on my MacBook Pro, it is not deleted from the same 'mail' application on my iPhone 4s which my hotmail account has also been added. I thought my emails were synced over iCloud?

    It is so frustrating because I cannot understand what is wrong. When I add an event to my calender on my iPhone it appears in my calender on my MacBook which is perfect and very convenient. The same thing occurs with reminders; everything syncs perfectly here. However when I delete an email from my MacBook from the 'mail' appliaction it doesn't delete from the same built-in application on my iPhone. This is extremely frustrating as I have to delete the same email twice on two different devices. I'd appreciate any feedback that would help resolve this problem!

    Calendars (and contacts) can "sync" between your MBP and your iPhone through iCloud because they really live on the iCloud servers and the two devices are clients. iCloud can accomplish much the same trick for email messages because the email really resides on iCloud email servers.
    If the email resides on some other server, that server is responsible for whatever syncing will be done. IMAP servers like the iCloud servers are built for such syncing; other mail servers may or may not be. iCloud would not be involved with email other than iCloud email.
    I understand Hotmail has been changing how their email servers are accessed. Check with Hotmail support for any changes you may need to make to keep up.

  • How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    iTunes is not used to move photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer (it is used to move them the other direction).
    Also note that a connected phone or camera does not show in the Finder on a Mac. It should show in Image Capture or iPhoto.
    The following has instructions on how to move them: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Another option is 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

    Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
    I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
    With which email client?
