How do I stop emails coming through to my mac after I have already read and deleted them on my iPhone?

I want to set up my mac so that once the emails from hotmail have been received, read AND deleted on my iPhone, they don't pop up on my macbook when I get home (and visa-versa if I were to receive the emails on my mac first). Can anyone help, please?

There's SO much to learn from the manual. This tip helped. And since this was an older message, I should say that I have a 5c iPhone now, but the messages here still apply. I didn't realize you could turn it off without deleting the account.
Until there's a time when you don't have to mark every single message, one at a time to delete them, instead of a "delete all" or some similar command, then I've turned my mail off on both my iPad and iPhone. I only check mail on those when I'm on vacation and away from my home computer, and I've learned what a mess it was with hundreds of messages being downloaded. Apple has to do better with that delete message function. One at a time seems primitive. Otherwise, I'd leave the Mail App on.

    How do I sink my email so that when I read and delete something on my iPhone it is deleted on my other devices (iMac & iPad)?  My email is through roadrunner.  And how do I set my email to automatically delete messages after a set time frame?

    For that to happen you need to have an IMAP email account. Contact Sroadrunner to see if they provide such.

  • How do I make an email "read" on iPhone after I have already read it on my desktop (Microsoft Outlook)

    I automatically read my emails that go to my Outlook account. It still goes to my iPhone as well. So at the end of the day when I pull down to refresh email I still get all the emails I have already read on my desktop appearing as unread. Does anyone know how to make the sync up so that you don't have to go through your emails twice?
    The same thing happens on my mac but vice versa. I read my emails on my phone then I get on my mac and I have all these "Unread" emails that have already been read on my iphone. Is there a way to get them in sync and dismiss an email if it has been read on another device?

    YOu will need to set your account as an IMAP in order to do that.  Sound like you have a POP or POP3 account.

  • Stopping emails coming through

    Is there a way of stopping emails being pushed through to the BB as it seems pointless havin them on both the PC and BB (when the PC is on obviously!)...
    I seem to be constantly deleting emails from my BB as they are on the PC as well!

    Either that or you can go through your 'email setup' and delete the account(s) you have setup to go to your BB.

  • How do I stop iMessages coming through to all my devices?

    We have 2 iPads and 3 iPhones and all our iMessages seem to be sharing across the lot of them??? How do I isolate each device to send and receive from only 1 device at a time? This applies to every IMessage that is sent even from friends!!

  • TS4083 Is there a way to have my Icloud delete my emails on all apple devices that use I cloud? If I delete them on my Iphone, they do not delete on my Ipad and vice versa

    I cant figure out how to set up Icloud to delete my emails on all my apple devices that use icloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I frequently have emails that I delete on my mac but are not deleted from the iPhone/iPad (this is for an iCloud account,  @mac.com).  In time they eventually delete, but it can take time.  I usuall delete them from the devices as well.

    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.

  • Me and my husband share an apple id, messages are coming through on my phone that I have not sent and my husband is denying sending. Is this possible?

    Me and my husband share the same Apple ID
    I logged onto my Mac book and the messages popped up, it shows all messages sent from my phone and my husbands.
    There are some random conversations in there that I didn't send and my husband is denying.
    How do I (a) see what phone sent these, and (b) is this possible to not be either of us?

    You cannot see what phone/device sent the iMessages, unless you look at that particular device and they have not been deleted from the device.
    Anyone with access to the Apple ID & Password can send iMessages on that Apple ID from an iMessage capable device.

  • Any way at all to STOP sounds coming through bluetooth?

    Whoever designed this should be strung up...
    Is there any way to STOP sounds coming through my bluetooth headset? It is so incredibly distracting when I'm on a call and the stupid calendar goes off, I hear an email come in, a text message, etc.
    I have an iPhone 4 and Plantronics Voyager Pro.
    I know one way is to turn on the mute switch on my iPhone, but I don't want to do that like 8 million times a day.
    I'd simply like to NOT hear everything ringing in my ear when I'm trying to have a simple conversation.
    Anyone?

    I'm assuming you have an A2DP compatible headset. If so, see if you can disable A2DP on the headset. You can do so on the Jawbone Icon, not sure about others.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable A2DP on the iphone itself.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

    Open Messages. Then go to the Menu and click on Messages. In the drop down select Preferences. Choose the accounts tab. If you have already added your iCloud account then remove it and add it again.

  • How can I stop emails pushed to the Curve from getting marked as "Read" in Outlook!

    I get 100 or so emails a day, and get them bolded in Outlook until I read them.  In two of my three email accounts, the emails remain bolded in Outlook even after being pushed to the Curve.  In the third, which runs through my work server, all emails come in unbolded as if they're already read. 
    This is confusing me and making it hard to go back and pick up important emails (and delete others).  Anyone got any ideas of how to fix this in my email set-up on the Curve?
    Thanks much. 

    your other two email accounts, which type are they? MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail or another provider? I have one of each of these and i have mine setup as delete on mailbox and server, wireless reconcile on and on conflict mailbox wins, so when i see these emails on my computer, they are already read and if deleted( yahoo and gmail) will be deleted on the server, the msn and hotmail just stay as read but not deleted.
