How do I overwrite Mail settings from my iPhone 5?

I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7.5 and have just bought an iPhone.
My email address is an iCloud address [email protected]
Somehow, whilst setting up the iPhone and syncing it to my Macbook Pro, the setup of my Mail (using Mail version 5.3 (1283) ) on my Macbook Pro changed. I now have two mail accounts, both of which are identical, [email protected] and appear to have lost not only my iCloud account but also all the folders I'd carefully set up within this account (BANK, WORK etc) with all the emails that I'd stored in these folders.  I notice that in PREFERENCES, the actual account name has changed.  Instead of it being iCloud, it is now [email protected]  I've also got TWO copies of the same account, [email protected]
Incredibly, the iPhone MAIL is fine.  It has one account, iCloud, with all the relevant folders and the emails I'd moved to these folders inside them.
How do I get the iPhone version of Mail to overwrite my Macbook Pro version of mail so that the data (setup data in PREFERENCES, mail folders and lost emails) is resorted on my Macbook Pro using teh data from my iPhone???

Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Enter your Passcode>Then turn it Off.
Not recommended.

  • Is there any way to transfer my mail settings from my iPhone to Outlook 2010?

    OK, so it is easy to transfer your mail settings from Outlook or a.n.other mail system to your iPhone, but can it be done the other way?
    Is it possible to set up all your mail accounts on your iPhone and then import them, complete with settings, passwords et al, to Outlook????

    No.

  • TS4002 How can I change iCloud junk mail settings from my iPhone?

    I have junk mail filtering turned on in iCloud. If it incorrectly tags mail as junk it is easy to correct using the web interface but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it from iPhone. How can you mark mail as junk / not junk from iOS? Matters are made worse in that it is not even possible to access the web app from an iOS device?

    Yes! Fine if you have a computer and of course that's exactly what I do. But it is a bit frustrating! iOS and iCloud are supposed to be seamlessly integrated and this seems like a big omission. And with the push towards iOS devices being completely independent devices, unhooked from a computer, this seems like something that should be improved upon. Seems minor, but if you use your iOS device as your primary email client it is a real hassle. I'd be surprised if nobody else is frustrated by this. Anyone? How do you go about nagging Apple to sort it out?

  • How do I e-mail movies from my iPhone

    Greetings:
    I have a movie of my daughter taken on my iPhone. I want to upload it to my Facebook page. Facebook recommends that I e-mail it to my Facebook account.
    How do I e-mail that movie from my iPhone?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Are you not able to access the Email Video menu option (box with arrow coming out of it in lower left corner)? Or are you asking about what Facebook requires on their end?

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,
    Doug

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

    Hi, I never tried going backwards with it, but the files/folders involved for 10.4 anyway are...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    For Address Book...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

  • How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.

    How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
    Thanks!

    No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

  • I bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4?

    i bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4? that means, making the iphone 4 just like the iphone 3gs?

    Well, you sink everything on your 3GS onto your laptop/computer. Then you reset your iPhone 4. When you are restarting it, add all those apps music (ect)  On to it. It seems difucult but for more info call Apple. I did that and he lead me step by step on how to do it. Well hope this helped~~

    Then follow the screens.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    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), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    How to delete e-mail recipients from your address book

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad.

    How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?

    Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
    If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.

    copy my contacts list to his iPad.  We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC.  How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
