How do I sync my email messages

Hello
Two quick questions:
If I download my emails automatically from my ISP to Outlook (using POP3, so that they are no longer on the server) how do I sync my iphone with these emails in Outlook?
Then, when my PC is not working how do I get my iphone to access my ISP, so that it can download any new email messages?
Thanks

You cannot sync email with Outlook. You can set up an email account on the iPhone and download messages to the iPhone, just as you would with Outlook. However, as you have already noted, you do not get messages that were already downloaded by Outlook. This is a limitation of the POP3 protocol, which was designed way back when no one could conceive of the possibility that you might have more than one computer/email reader.
As a kludge you can set Outlook to not remove messages from the server after download, but that causes a management headache when you want to delete messages fro the server.
The best solution is to switch to an IMAP email server, as IMAP was designed to access email from multiple devices. With IMAP the master copy is on the server and remains there until deleted from one of the clients. If your ISP does not offer IMAP you can set up a GMAIL account or MobileMe to act as agent for your ISP's email server.

HT204053 how to I sync my email message with Cox so all of my messages appear on my MAC, my Iphone and my IPAD? If I turn my MAC off I don't receive my emails until aftet I turn it back on? THX

How do I sync my IMAC, IPAD and IPHONE for messages. I use cox as my carrier. If I turn my IMAC off and then come back later - turn it on - I don't receive any messages from COX - they are on my phone and Ipad but not on my IMAC?
Thank you -Jaq

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

How can I sync my email accounts to avoid having to manually delete or move messages

How can I sync my email on iPad to avoid having to manaually delete or move messages from different accounts?

Set all your email accounts up as IMAP (instead of POP3) so that the messages are stored on the server. Then whatever actions you take on a message on your iPad will be "in sync" across all other devices/computers you access that email account from.

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

How do I sync my email so that what is on my PC reflects on my iphone

How do I sync my email so that what is on mu PC reflects on my phone. Currently if I delete an email it remains on my phone. Is there a way to fix this?

You're using a POP email account and that is how it works. If you are able to, try setting it up as IMAP instead of POP. If you can't, then you are stuck with it the way it is.

A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices.

The iPad will update when it has internet connection. If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.

How do you remove multiple email messages at one time

I have a iphone 4 and today it started piling up over 4000 undeliverable messages for no apparent reason. I somehow managed to stop the process but I am left with over 4000 messages that I need to delete. How do you remove multiple email messages at one time. I can "mark" all the messages at once but I cannot find the move or delete button to trash the messages. Can some one help me out.
Thanking you in advance.
PL

Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

How can I get my email messages to open in one click with Mail app?

Hello,
How do I get my email messages to open with just one tap? On my newer Macbook I just click once on the Mail app and my messages open automatically but on the Powerbook it takes two clicks. Can this be fixed to just one click? I've gone into preferences but can't seem to change it.

Carolyn,
Thanks, I was wanting to just click once on a message and have it open right away and then be able to quickly go through my messages. I found the solution from another helpful Mac user. You just move the separator bar that divides your messages from the view pane and move it up and it works like a charm.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

You will need to go to settings>mail contacts and calendars Once you are there you will then add the email account you are wanting to sync the information from to your mobile device. Once the account is added to the mobile device you then will be able to sync contacts ect... to the device.
