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?

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.

  • Mail not syncing as read across all devices - started 2 or 3 days ago

    Hi all. I have had MM and iCloud for a long time and Mail has worked fine across all my devices. In the last 2 or 3 days it has stopped indicating when an email has been read and in some cases when an emai has been deleted. After looking into it dseeper, it seems to mainly be effecting my desktop Mac which is older (last of the Power PC towers running 10.5.8). I know, it's old, but it works fine for my desktop needs and up until now has not had any email issues. Anyone know of anything that might have triggered this problem?

    Ok, ignore this question. A hard reboot fixed it. Too many long nights lately.

  • Why does my mail not sync as read across devices ios7 and mavericks

    When I read an email on one device why does it not show as read on my other devices. I end up having to go through my mail three times. Is their an option I haven't clicked or is my mail not set up right.
    I have various accounts running in my mac mail two gmail, two outlook.
    If any one can help would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Your email accounts have to use the imap protocol in order to sync across devices.Are all your email accounts on all devices configured to use the imap protocol?

  • 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.
    Cheers,

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • TS4002 iCloud mail not syncing?

    Has anyone had trouble with iCloud on May 10th & 11th?  Whether trying to log in directly the internet, or using iPhone, iPad or MacBook - nothing works.

    It's been down since at least mid-day Thursday for me (Upstate NY). On Friday I got a single random e-mail delivered to my iPhone that had been sent Thursday, but I am unable to retrieve any e-mail through iCloud.com or Mail on my iMac.

  • Mail not showing as read across devices

    I have my macbook, iphone, and (new) imac all setup as icloud accounts for email.  All email is coming through just fine on each device.  However on the new imac messages which have been "read" on the iphone or on the macbook are still showing up as unread in mail on the imac.  Any clues?

    I'm have the same problem with an iCloud @me.com email address across my iphone, new iPad, and MacBook Pro. Everything is running the lastest and greatest software/OS updates.

  • ICloud not syncing across all devices

    I have a macbook pro, iphone 4, and iMac.  Both computers are running Lion and my iphone 4 is up to date.
    I believe I set up iCloud correctly on all three devices.  However, only the iMac and the iPhone seem to be syncing properly.  For some reason, mail sent from me.com via my macbook pro doesn't show up in my other devices.  Also, iCal entries made on my macbook pro are also not showing up.
    Is there a quick fix?  Some kind of setting somewhere that I need to change?  All help appreciated.

    mail.
    Try turning mail and notes syncing off and on again on the MacBook.
    calendars.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

    Installed mavericks a few weeks ago.  Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices.  What is going on?  I used to sync manually using iTunes.  Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts.  I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
    Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important.  spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi.  Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work??   Help!

    Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone, 
    Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
    My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon.  Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
    I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments  and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices.  I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address."  Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card. 
    Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated.  Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks?  I would gladly pay for it!

  • Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • 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.
