ICloud Mail not syncing across devices

This issue has been bugging me for many months now and I have not been able to find a solution:  I am an iCloud user for email etc, iPhone 4s with iOS7.0 and MBP with OSX10.8.5 and Mail 6.6.  There are actually 2 issues which I would like help in resolving:
1. If I happen to notice a new email received on my iPhone and open up that new message using the iPhone, it then does not get downloaded by Mail on my MBP.  If however I choose to ignore a new message in my iPhone's inbox and wait until I get home to read it using my MBP, then Mail downloads the unopened message and I can choose to read it using either the iPhone or MBP.  However, new mail downloaded on my MBP and which I then open using Mail is also downloaded on my iPhone and marked as read.
2. Sent Mail is not sync'd across the two devices.  I can get around this by bcc'ing myself on all sent messages.
I use IMAP and have tried some recommendations I have found on some help sites but to no avail.
Thank you

Unfortunately, iCloud only pushes new mail. In iOS, it has never pushed the updated status of mail read, moved or flagged on other devices. http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203545
You could try switching your iCloud mail to fetch instead of push. I've never tried this, but maybe it will fetch the read status, as per the fetch schedule.

  • ICloud mail not syncing across my devices

    I have my mail set up on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPhone with my iCloud account. When I delete a message or move it to a folder it doesn't sync this across my devices unless I use iCloud logged onto the web. This means that I have to keep repeating my actions and sometimes the mail reappears after I've deleted it. How can it sync across all devices like MobileMe used to, as it's really inconvenient.
    I use the Lion OS.

    Not sure where you are looking to see the 0 bytes available part.
    However, signing out of iCloud and back in again will trigger the push from iCloud to the device or computer you are signing out of and back in to.
    To ensure that your data is stored in iCloud, go to iCloud.com and check your Calendar to make sure it has the latest data that you want pushed to your devices and to your Mac.
    If everything is in iCloud, then it will push back to your device or computer when you sign back on.

  • After downloading maverick, iCloud will not sync across my devices

    Since downloading Maverick [10.9], iCloud will not sync across my devices. Mail is not working properly. I'm being asked for passwords from everything.
    Also, every time I close and then reopen Mail, I get a message saying "Mail cannot connect to the iCloud account "iCloud", requiring my password, again!
    Is there a solution to this? How can I find out if it's server related, etc.?
    Thanks to anyone out there that can help!

    Try restarting your router and all the other devices.
    Not updated as it is currently unavailable.

  • Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

    I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

    Hi sueb21,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
    The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
    After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • "Sent" and "Trash" mailboxes not syncing across devices

    My "In Box" syncs across devices, but the "Sent" and "Trash" boxes do not. How do I ensure that all my mailboxes are syncing across all my devices, so that conversations can move back and forth regardless of which device I am using at the moment?

  • Collections do not sync across devices - bookmarks do ???

    Hello.  I am trying to sync my books & PDF's between my iPhone 4S & iPad2.  Both are running iOS 5.0.1 and all apps are up to date.  Both have "sync bookmarks", "sync collections", & "online audio & vidoe" checked.  I am using iCloud and both devices are backed up nightly....
    I have manually pulled books and PDF's to each device; what is strange is that when I bookmark on one devicee (say the iPhone), the bookmark is recognized almost instantly on the other device (iPad).... BUT, when I add a book or pdf to one device, it doesn't automatically sync to the other device.....??

    Let me revise my last post - Books purchased in the library DO sync across devices; items I place in iBooks from email, etc.. do NOT sync.

  • ICloud Mail not syncing as "read" across all devices

    If I read an email on my Mac, it does not mark as read on my iPhone and i still see the new mail notification on the lock screen and there is a new mail mark on the mail app icon when i unlock the iPhone until I open up mail app and it checks manually.
    When I used the Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App with Gmail account  it works perfectly and when i read my mail it sync immediately on all devices and the new mail notification disappear immediately after reading the mail on the other device.
    Is there any way that iCloud mail can update reading mail Immediately like Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App?

  • TS3988 iCloud not syncing across devices?

    My devices are not syncing in iCloud.
    E-mails can be received but not deleted - I have to delete from each device separately.
    Fiona

    iCloud does not sync emails. You are interacting directly with your email on the server, so whatever actions you take on one device/computer are actually performed on the server, so are also seen on every other device/computer that connects to the same account on the same server.
    Just to confirm, you are referring to emails sent to your @icloud.com (or @me.com / @mac.com) email address, arent you? Not any other external email account?

  • ICloud mail not syncing to all devices

    Hi, For the past few days my iCloud Mail program has not been syncing/downloading my .mac mail properly between my apple devices (iPhone 4, iPad new, and MacBook pro). The iPhone is getting mail Pushed as normal, but the laptop and iPad have shown no new mail for days. I've tried everything listed on the support pages and few things found on other forums. And I've also found a number of forum posts about iCloud mail migrating to new servers and that this is causing interruptions.. I have no idea what to make of that, but currently I can only access my .mac account by checking my iPhone or going to the iCloud webpage in Safari nothing is downloading. Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi, I have the same problem.  Its working fine on my iphone, ipad is OK, but iMac not syncing.  My wifes account works fine though.  [email protected] accounts.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • ICloud mail not syncing changes on iPad

    My iCloud @me.com emails are not syncing on iPad.
    If I move/read/delete an email on iCloud.com or on my iPhone/Mac it syncs across each device. However on the iPad the deleted/moved messages still appear in my inbox and display as unread etc. To clarify I am not talking about the badge icon as I know this doesn't update automatically, I am referring to the emails themselves. I have tried disabling iCloud mail and restarting my iPad but when I re-enable iCloud mail the deleted/moved messages still appear in my inbox. Any ideas?

    Unfortunately that's how iCloud is designed
    Mail will update Mac to Mac and iPhone,iPad,Ipod to Mac
    But it will not update Mac to iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    This support Doc was published for MobileMe but it still applies to iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    So you can read a mail on you Mac and it will update the status to another Mac but will not update the status on a iPhone,iPad or iPod
    but if you read a mail on your iphone,iPad od iPod it will update the status on your mac
    Silly but there it is 1000's of us have been complaining about it for years but Apple will not change it

  • ICloud contacts not syncing to devices. Any hints appreciated?

    The Contacts I'm adding to my Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.5) are syncing to iCloud, but are not then syncing to my devices. (iPhone 4S & iPad 2)
    I've used the reset documents function in iCloud to no avail.
    I've deleted my iCloud account from the devices and then reopened it. No change.
    I've turned contacts on and off in the devices. No change.
    Any hints or ideas on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated?
    Thanks.
    Boredrain.

    Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
    I found that I had put the contacts in the iCloud group, but in checking it led me to investigate what else I'd done in entering the contact.
    The original contact had come from a contact card I'd sent from my work computer, which I'd entered directly onto the Macbook Pro. I've previously done this by importing using my phone or pad, without any problems. I did this again using the phone and it synced across the Pro and the other device. It would seem that sometimes importing using the Macbook Pro affects how it syncs? Who knows.
    Interestingly, if you enter the data manually onto the Macbook Pro you don't have this issue.
    Once again thanks.

  • ICloud Calendars not syncing between devices at all

    Simply put, newly added events either on my macbook pro running Yosemite or my iPhone 5s running iOS 8 will not sync to iCloud and show on my other devices. I've tried everything including restarting devices, unchecking/checking iCloud calendar options, signing out/back in to my iCloud account, nothing will resolve this issue and i can't find any related posts.

    Greetings Pure Ferox Adventus,
    If you are having an issue with your contacts not staying in sync between your iPhone and your iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Calendar not syncing across devices

    I just found that my calenders are not syncing acros my iMac, iPad Air and iPhone 5S. Under iCloud on all 3 devices I have "Calenders" check to sync. All 3 devices have the same Apple ID (iCloud Account ID) and password. Still no luck. I'm running the latest Mavericks and iOS 7.0.4 on my iOS devices.

    I have the exact same problem.  How did you set your default calendars so the devices sync iCal?

  • ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR

    On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR.  My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates.  No new dowloands or settings changes have occured.  I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
    I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
    I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
    Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
    If others have solutions, please post.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem.  Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support.  For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app.  Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were!   incoming server is imap.mail.me.com.  Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN.  Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN
