How do I sync emails on multiple devices so that they show as read when opened on different devices?

I can't get my mail on my phone to show as having been replied on after I've checked and replied on a different device like my laptop. Can anyone help?

What type of email account do you have? What you describe is the normal operating mode for an IMAP email account. If you have a POP email account, that is very difficult to achieve. (I don't know of any way.)

HT1495 how can i sync aps on multiple devices on one computer

Trying to use multiple devices on same computer but don't want the devices to have all the same aps. how can i seperate that without having to check the aps i want each time a sync?

Assuming the photos are in an iPhoto Library on the Air and you want to import them into your iPhoto Library on your Powermac there is an application that can copy all photos in the Air library that are not in your Powermac library into your Powermac library. However, no keywords or other metadeata willl be brought over with them and they will come over in a new event each time you run it. Take a look at: Sync iPhoto libraries | SyncPhotos (formerly iPhotoSync) | Haystack Software.
There's another application, iPhoto Library Manager, that will let you copy events or albums from the Air library to the Powermac library. However, you will have to select the events/albums you want to copy. It's not automatic. This method will copy keywords and other metadata along with the photos.

How can I eliminate email on multiple devices?

I have four different email accounts. I have three devices, a Macbook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad. How can I coordinate the devices so that all email goes to my computer, but only messages that have not downloaded to the computer go to the other devices? I end up deleting the same emails from multiple locations, which just takes too much time.
Thanks

My mail account on my iPhone is configured as a POP account. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This same mail account is configured as POP account on my iPad. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This account on my MBP is set as POP, and again, remove from server is disabled.
Every email appears in every location. As an example, I had not turned on my iPad for two days, until I checked the settings of the email account. It immediately downloaded 99 messages. I have seen these messages on both my computer and iPhone already, and have deleted them from iPhone. I would have preferred that they never appeared on the iPad.
Is this possible?

How to set up email for multiple devices

What is the best way to synch e-mail on my wife's iPad with her Mac Book? I thought iCloud allowed her comcast inbox to update on all devices. Thank you.

As I understand from a quick search, the ComCast email is POP3, that is not multidevice email. And just because your wife also has an iCloud account does not mean that the email from ComCast on an iOS device is going to jump over to the iCloud account in the same iOS Mail app.
You should go to the ComCast email website and configure your wife's CC email account to forward her email to her iCloud account. Then configure her Macs and iOS devices with just the iCloud account. She will then have iCloud email synced across all of her devices.
I know this works, I forward two IMAP Gmail and one POP3 Hotmail accounts to my iCloud email account. It works perfectly with email forwarded from any of these accounts, across both of my Macs and both of my iOS devices.
Hopefully her Mac has Mac OS X Lion or she cannot have iCloud. But she can still get the iCloud email in another Mac OS X version and I can help you set that up if necessary.

For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps... I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
Thank you for your help!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

Email, how do I protect Emails on my Treo so that they don't get deleted?

I find that every couple of days, my received Email messages get deleted automatically. There are some that I want saved but I can't seem to find any settings to do this. I don't want Emails deleted unless I delete them. Is there a way to do this?
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Yes. This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

Hello
I was wondering if there is a way of syncing the sent mail folder across my iPhone, iPad and MBA?
For instance if I send an email from my Air using OSX Mail and my Apple email address. I have no record of this email having been sent when I look at the sent mail boxs on my iPhone or iPad. And the same if I've sent the mail from the iOS device it doesn't show up on the laptop sent mail folder?
Can't see a trick around this, any ideas?
Thanks
This solved my question by dawnrazor on Jul 31, 2012 11:39 PM
okay found it...
this only pertains to iCloud accounts
iOS devices SENT folder defaults to the device. So an email sent from your ipad will be kept on the iPad only. to change this you need to dig a bit...
on your laptop:
open Mail preferences, select Accounts at the top and select your iCloud account. and select mailbox behaviour, tick the check box for sent messages, make sure the delete option is set to never.
okay on each iOS device:
settings / Mail,contacts, calenders / iCloud / account / advanced / advanced / sent mailbox
the default for sent mailbox will be on my ipad/iphone. Change this to Sent Messages.
do this on both iphone and ipad and now your sent mailbox will be mirrored across your ipad / iphone / laptop / iCloud website....
Easy when you know how...

How can I sync email, contacts and calendar between computers and phones without a mobileme account?

I recently added a macbook pro, ipad and imac to my work accounts and I'd like to be able to sync all of them together. I believe the POP server that my company is using (small start-up) does not support this. Basically, if I read email on the laptop, it does not show as read on the imac or my iphone. If I send a message from one, it does not show up on the other devices.
I figure there has to be a solution - it's driving me crazy basically having email in 3 different locations and none of it matches.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook. I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
