HT1277 e-mails on all devices without iCloud?

In order to receive e-mails on my iPhone, computer AND iPad mini, do I HAVE to use the cloud? Before iPad was set up for e-mail, I was getting all incoming mail on both my iPhone and computer.  I didn't mind having to delete in 2 places.
Now, I just noticed that when I get an e-mail on the iPad, I don't get it anywhere else.  I've lost more e-mails than I even know this way.  I have no desire to use the icloud.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

They are def not there.  I had a friend e-mail me a few tests.  If I open it on the iPad, it doesn't show up anywhere else.  But if I first open it from Computer or iPhone, then it still shows up on the iPad.
I did find this:  I wonder if I want the iPad set to POP??
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol):
When you set up Yahoo! Mail using the mail client on your  mobile device, it automatically uses IMAP servers to sync your phone's  mail client to your Yahoo! Mail account. This means the emails  are retrieved on the device and remain within your  Yahoo! Mail account. Both (webmail and device) will mirror  each other. What this means is that if a message is deleted from your  phone, the message will also be deleted from your account. Likewise,  when changes are made in your Yahoo! Mail account, the  changes will be reflected on your device. IMAP servers sync your device  and account constantly, so they are the same.

  • TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • ICloud mail quit working simultaneously on all devices and iCloud cannot load Mail.

    3:00 pm eastern time iCloud mail account on all devices (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone) went to spin mode and and says "this account appears to be off-line due to a network problem.". But any attempt to take it online or to access iCloud online does not work.  iCloud says "cannot load mail", and then allows me to report the problem to Apple which I have done over and over again.  Looks like a major iCloud problem. Anybody else having this problem?

    Down in Washington DC too (on the web-site and in all IMAP clients), since about noon, local time. The "All services are online" at <http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/> looks quite annoying. Especially, since there are multiple threads reporting the same problem, all over the country and even abroad (UK).

  • HT204053 Naive question I know but here goes. One apple ID, multiple apple IOS devices (touch/pad/phone). Books purchased via Kindle sync to ALL devices via iCloud. How can I stop this? I want to separate each of the family's reading prefernces from the d

    Naive question but here goes.
    As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
    Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
    Thanks.

    You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's.  You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
    If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well.  This is exactly what my wife & I have done.  We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc.

  • Syncing all devices via iCloud

    Before switching to iCloud my calendar synced to my desktop Mac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone automatically.  Since switching to iCloud, my calendar has not synced to all devices.  How do I get back to the automatic syncing of my calendar?

    Are you already using iCloud on all your devices, are the contacts you wish to use across iCloud in your "iCloud" account or in your "on my Mac" account.

  • How to change iCloud account without deleting all devices on iCloud

    If I delete the iCloud account on my phone to use a separate one will my moms ipad still be on the original iCloud account once I delete it off my phone

    When you delete an iCloud account from a device, that has no effect on the iCloud accounts on other devices or the content in that iCloud account. You are just deleting that account from that particular device.
    Her content will still be in iCloud.

  • Can you transfer mail signatures between devices using iCloud

    I have created a signature in mail on my mac. Can I transfer that to my iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro with iCloud or is there another solution?

    iCloud includes as part of its suite of services Apple's free email service - it has nothing at all to do with any other email services you subscribe to.
    To get another account on your device, you need to set that account up, using that account providers settings.

  • Want the Same Mail on all Devices

    It's annoying that if I read an email on my iPhone6 ... that it will not download on my AIR and/or iPad Mini.
    I can't see where I can change my settings so that my emails will show up on all of my devices.
    Using Apple Mail and my main email account is with earthlink.net
    Thanks ...

    EarthLink is a POP account. If you want your mail in sync across devices you need to switch to an IMAP account like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com. All of these offer free accounts.

  • Syncing devices without icloud

    My iPad2 has my most up to date contacts, calendar.  I want to now update a new iphone5 via our Mac.  I not want to use iCloud if at all possible.  Plus at this point i do not want any iTunes or iPhotos to be loaded onto the phone from the Mac.

    I want my iPad to update the mac contact list, because the iPad has the correct info.  Right now that isn't happening when I connect the two devices. Then I want the. newly updated info to go from the Mac to my iphone. 
    I really don't understand the Apple operating systems so please be very detailed when replying.  Thank you!!!!!!

  • HT2513 Older iCal calendars (used with MobileMe) now won't sync with iCloud without creating duplicates. How do I sync to my other devices without iCloud?

    I've been using iCal for years for my business and have over 15 calendars on it (to color coordinate projects) and used to sync them with MobileMe.  Now that I've upgraded my mac and have Mountain Lion and can only use iCloud to sync Address Book, Notes etc - iCloud doesnt even acknowledge my 15+ calendars unless they are DUPLICATED.
    I've turned OFF iCloud and tried to sync via iTunes telling it to sync to iphone/ipad from "Calendar on this Mac" - but it sees nothing.  My device Calendars are blank (iCloud off on them too).
    HELP!!!

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • Is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices in icloud account

    is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices

    Yes. If they have different iCloud accounts or if Contacts is not turned on in Settings>iCloud.

  • HT204022 how can I be sure a photo or video has been completely deleted from all devices and iCloud?

    I see all the information about deleting photos from Photo Stream, but is that the same as the iCloud and if not, how can I delete something completely from all devides and my iCloud account?

    Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
    There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
    The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
    Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

  • Synching mail on all devices?

    Hey all! Is it possible to set up my mailboxes on my Mac and have the setting/folders synch to my iPad and iPhone?

    If your email account is an IMAP account, and the folders are not "On my mac" then they should sync automatically.  If you have a POP account or the folders are "on my mac", then you can't sync them.  It all depends on the type of account you have and where the folders on the mac are stored.

  • How Do you Copy Photo Albums to all devices over icloud

    So I have the following setup
    iPad 2, new iPad, iPhone 4s; and 2 windows computers.
    I have photostream enabled.  Photos sync across as they should however, If i place a photo in an album; I am wanting the album to be copied to the rest of the devices as well so I can sort the photos. 
    Has anyone figured this one out?

    Whilst you can add any photo you want to Photostream on a computer, I doubt this is going to help you. photostream only keeps photos for 30 days.
