How do I sync mail accounts from my laptop to iPhone?

Hi,
I just got an iPhone 4S, iOS 7. I have Macbook Pro, with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), iTunes 11.1.1. I have email accounts already set up on my laptop, and I'd like to copy that information to the iPhone, and keep them in sync. I searched for info on how to do this, but much on the pages I found refer to a previous version of iTunes, which had some "sync mail accounts" section, which is no longer there. How do I do it now? Do I have to manually set them up again on the iPhone? I read somewhere that you "use iCloud" but there were no details.
thanks,
Rob

I should have written my question better. I didn't mean: connect to one account from multiple devices. That I understand -- IMAP, etc. I want to sync the configuration of those accounts. So, I set up 4 email accounts on my laptop, and then push the setup/config info to the iPhone so I don't have to type in the addresses and passwords again. I have a lot of accounts and some of them change passwords frequenty. It would be nice to not have to type on that iPhone screen.

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.

I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

How do I sync mail accounts if I didn't choose that option during setup?

Is there some way to retroactively choose to sync mail accounts with iTunes after the phone has already been setup (and I chose not to do it at setup)? I looked around in iTunes and couldn't find a setting.
I'm having problems setting up one of my IMAP accounts on the phone and think it might be easier to just sync it with Mail.app.

After plugging in your iPhone, from the iPhone summary screen, click the info tab. From there you can scroll any or all of your email accounts.

How do I sync mail accounts onto ipad

I cannot sync my mail accounts from laptop to new ipad!!!!

Synchronization is done by your email provider. This will depend on whether or not your email provider supports synchronization.
You should define the email protocol as imap on both devices.

Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

Hello
I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
Strange !!
Any Idea ?
Best
Cyril

i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

How to force sync Safari Bookmarks from my laptop to the iPhone?

I have "cleansed" and rearranged my Safari Bookmarks on my laptop and would like to have the same structure and set of bookmarks on my iPhone, but syncing apparently does not change the bookmarks on the iPhone.??? I am puzzled. What do I do wrong?
How can I delete all bookmarks on the iPhone and force a synchronisation with the laptop? (In System Preferences>Mobile Me the Safari Bookmarks are checked).
thanks in advance for any pointers/ suggestions/solutions.
Cheers,
Veit

Thanks a lot for your instant response. I am now in iTunes>Info>Advanced, but there the only options after Replace Info on the iPhone is Mail Accounts and that is greyed out. The Web Browser heading above the Advanced heading says: Your bookmarks are being synced with iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air syncing settings can be changed on your iPhone.
But on the iPhone I don't find where to change these settings. Any suggestions?
Thanks a million.

How do I sync email accounts from my mac to my iPhone?

I used to be able to sync my email accounds to my phone using iTunes. I dont see that option anymore?

With the iPod connected to your computer, go to the Summary pane under devices (your iPod) and check the appropriate boxes. From the Users Guide:'
Calendars
Â
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft
Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple
applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

How do I sync my mail accounts from my macbook using the mavericks os to my new iphone 5

recently I had to get a new iphone 5, so I backed up the old one with my macbook pro that is using the mavericks os. After restoring the new phone from the back up I noticed that the mail accounts from my macbook had not synced as they used to automatically prior to installing mavericks that seems to force you to sync everything pretty much through icloud. Is there any simple way to do this clone my mail accounts to my new iphone 5 from my macbook.

Hi
You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

Sync outlook mail account from the infotab in Itunes

Hi!
I have selectet my outlook mailaccount from the infotab in Itunes, and expected it to appere in Mail on my Iphone. But even if it shows how many unread mails I have got, I can not find them.
When I open Mail it is like I have no mailaccount ready. I have to select i.e. exchange, hotmail, gmail etc. Did it not sync properly?
Do I need to set up a imap or pop3 account to connect to my mail anyway? Contacts and calender sync's like a charm!
Best regards
Stig M.

Hi jmknight,
When you disable contact syncing or delete a mail account from the phone, the data that is removed from the phone is ONLY that data that was synced from that account. So if you previously had [email protected] added to the phone and had contacts synced from that account, those contacts will not be removed from the phone when you delete [email protected] from the phone. Additionally, it will not ever delete the contacts from the mail server itself (they will still be accessible at hotmail.com through webmail), rather it just un-syncs the contacts from the phone.
I hope this helps!

How do I sync mail from my iphone to my ipad

How do I sync mail between my iphone and ipad?

Changing from POP3 to IMAP is a function of your email provider. You need to check with them to see if they even offer IMAP. Some do and some do not. If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC/iPad to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples).
This may help if you do not want to or can not switch to IMAP...
