How well is my mail protected on iPhone or iPad?

Hello! Can u tell me how well is my mail protected on iPhone or iPad?
Seems that 4-digit number is simply not enogh to get a goot protetcion of the device (and mail in it)

You can turn off "simple passcode" under Settings - Passcode, and then you can set whatever (alphanumeric) passcode you like, if you want it to be more complex than 4 numbers.
And don't forget that with email, there's also a potential vulnerability in your email password itself. If that is simple/obvious, someone could hack your email from another vector - through webmail, for example - without having any access to your phone.

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...

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

The easiest method is to setup an iCloud account, turn on Contacts syncing in Settings > iCloud on both devices, and the Contacts from the iPhone will sync to the iPad.

Help! How can I delete mail on my iPhone without it deleting on my Mac?

hey everybody!
so, i used to be able to delete e-mails on my iphone (through my gmail account) without having them get deleted from my inbox on my mac's mail app. however, lately, this is not the case. i would like to be able to delete certain messages so that they won't have to stay on my phone but i still need them on my mac.
does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
thanks!

I need the same answer applicable to Microsoft Exchange on a pc. When deleting email from the iphone it is deleting it from everywhere. I need it to stay on the laptop so that the laptop "controls". I just switched over from a blackberry and there was a email control function where you could tell the berry to defer to the laptop when deleting.
I also having an issue in that my "sent" emails are not appearing on the laptop - anywhere. I cannot find a location to alter this.
Please advise and thank you.

All of the sudden, emails from an existing contact go to junk mail on my iphone and ipad (which you can't label as "not junk" and do not show up anywhere on my iMac. What is going on?

I just recently got an ipad Air and some odd things are happening. I use Entourage on my iMac OS 10.6.8, and my iphone and ipad are getting emails into the junk folder and the email doesn't show up anywhere on my iMac. You can't label an email "not junk" on the iphone or ipad, so what do I do? So frustrated.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

How do I sync my email on iPhone and iPad?

My hotmail account does not sync between my iPhone and my iPad although the iPad does sync email between itself and my computer.

You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How do I stop MacBook syncing with iPhone and iPad mini

My MacBook automatically starts to sync iPhone and iPad when I open iTunes. I only want to sync with my iMac, but MacBook seems to override what I want as default for syncing. I have under preferences device ticked box to prevent syncing but it makes no difference.
Any help would be appreciated

On the PC from the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Make sure Mail is selected.
On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Mail is switched ON.
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices

How can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

HHow can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

Hi EScott,
This is an easy fix. You indicate that you get these emails just fine on your desktop, so they are not getting lost. They are just not making it to your iPhone or iPad. This tells me that you need to change the preferences of the accounts on your desktop machine. Each account will have a setting for what to do with mail on the server after you have checked it. The choices are to leave on the server, or to delete it.
If you have it set to delete, it won't be there when you later go check your mail from your mobile device. Most of the people I see post here with email issues have the opposite problem from you. They check their email from the phone during the day, then can't get it on the desktop later. It sounds like your iPhone and iPad are already set to leave on server.
All you have to do is go into your mail client on the desktop and in the individual preferences for each account change this setting. You may also want to check how you have deleted mail set up. It also can be set to be removed immediately, at a later time (like a week, month), or never. If you have it set to delete it won't be in your trash folder.
Good luck.
