How do I make my iPhone 'sent' mail folder sync exactly with my iMac 'sent' folder?

I've got an email set up through IMAP on my iPhone and on my mac and I've been using it for years but I've realized all of my folders sync exactly with the exception of my "sent" mailbox. For some reason, when I send something on my comp, it doesn't show in the sent folder on my phone? Does anyone have a clue as to what this could be and how I get them to sync like the rest?

Because everything is on the same home network, all are wireless except the mini, I'd rather not do a cloud base setup. It doesn't make sence to upload then download if all are on the same network. Maybe I'm asking how to setup a secure home network.

My new iPhone 5 will not sync calendars with my iMac and iPad.

Can someone please help me with this. I have ticked the sync calendars in the phone info tab. I tend to put appointments on both my iPhone and my iPad so I need all 3 talking to each other.

So I've always sort of had this problem with syncing my calendar and I think I finally figured out why. It seems I have two Apple ID's. My iCloud email address is [email protected] This is one Apple ID. My iTunes account has always been my Gmail email address. This is another Apple ID. Since I never use my Apple email address, I never considered that to be my Apple ID. I always considered what I used to connect to iTunes my Apple ID. So when I set up any iPhone I've ever had - when asked for my Apple ID I always put in my gmail address and it worked just fine. The problem is nothing was ever syncing properly with the cloud. Tonight, on my iPhone, I went to Settings > iCloud and then scrolled down to the bottom and deleted the account (this was my personal account at Gmail) Then I added [email protected] as my Apple ID. I then made sure everything in iCloud was switched on on the iPhone and just like magic, I went back to my iCal on the phone and everything syncs perfectly. It was a simple issue of having two Apple ID's. Make sure the email address you're using for iCloud is the Apple ID you're setting your iPhone up with and everything should work properly. Nobody has ever been able to figure this out for me. I hope this will help someone who has been as frustrated as I have been for such a long time now.

How can I make my iPhone leave a copy of e-mails on my server.

I have a BT internet account which I use with my PC and my iPad. The iPad is set to leave all messages on my server for subsequent download to my PC on which I keep a copy of all messages. I have now got an iPhone but I cannot select it to do the same. So when I read a message on my iPhone it is deleted and I cannot download it and deal with it later on my PC.
How do I make my iPhone leave the message on the server? The selections options are not the same for the iPad and iPhone, even though both use IOS 7.0.4

Chris,
         Thanks for your reply. I am indeed using an IMAP account on my iPhone, but the problem is that I am using the same account on both my iPad and my new iPhone, both using the same ios. .
   When on the iPad I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account, I get a pop-up overlay on which there is an Advanced option which takes me to a page where I can select an option under the Incoming Settings section to 'Delete from Server' on which I have selected 'Never' (The Server Port is 110).
When on iPhone, and I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account, I get a similar page but when I select Advanced I get where the Advanced option appears in the iPad under the Incoming Settings , ther is simply a statement saying 'IMAP Path Prefix /', and the server port is 143.
   Any suggestions, please?

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
That is from the page that you linked- does highlighted part of message ring a bell?

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth not discoverable

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth feature "not" discoverable so that my phone is secure from hacking while i am in public and the bluetooth feature is turned on.

The iPhone can only be discovered when you are in the Bluetooth menu at Settings > Bluetooth. You'll see under Devices it shows Now Discoverable.
If you are not at this menu, it is not discoverable anmd it will not show up on other devices.
Simply having BlueTooth on does not make it discoverable.

Hello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,
Matt M.

How can I make the iPhone beep every hour ?

How can I make the iPhone beep every hour ?
Just a beep not an alarm (alarms require an acknowledgement)

I wanted this function as well and I just downloaded "BBClendar Free" and it works perfectly for this, better than an inexpensive digital watch!
Just go to the Advanced section, enable the hourly beep and even set which hours (mine is 8 AM - 10 PM) and what minute of each hour it beeps on. Just be sure to leave the program open when you go on standby or it won't beep.
As the App's description says, "Hourly Beep helps you to take a moment to rest in a busy day for every hour."
Enjoy!

HT201320 How do I make new folders in mail?

How do I make new folders in mail?

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

Contact Apple Support by phone or make an appointment to visit with an Apple Genius Bar Advisor at an Apple Retail Store. They will take a look at the iPhone and make a determination about the battery. They have a diagnostic program that can fully determine the condition of the battery and then tell you your options for getting things working again.

How can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

how can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

Assuming you haven't taken up too much memory from apps to hold the 11 gigs of music...
After you plug in your iPhone, go to the music tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all music.
If apps/books/etc. leave you with less than 11 gig of space for you music, make playlists and sync those instead
