ICloud Mail unread mail not syncing

Since iCloud Mail (actually Mobile Me mail) was introduced, the unread mail count has always synced between my iPad and iPhone. By that, I mean if I read my email on my iPhone, it would automatically get marked as read in my iPad and vice-versa. Basically reading mail on one, would cause the badge to change on the other.
Some time recently, within the last few months, this no longer happens. Both my iPad and iPhone will detect when new email arrives, but that's it. Reading or deleting mail on one won't update the other until I manually open the Mail app.
I don't know when this changed exactly, but I prefer the original way it worked. Is there some way to get iCloud Mail to update on read and delete like it used to do?

no one?

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 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.

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 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 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

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,

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.

Depends on what "not display clearly" means.

Apple Mail Not Syncing

I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer. This just started happening, was working fine up to this point. We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server. I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client. This is the error I'm getting. I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help. Mail still not syncing. When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources" I do not see anything that is called MailSync. I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013. I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working. I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working. My issue started late March 2013. I don't know what else to try.

ICloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

iCloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
failed:
"[email protected]":
SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:
host: mx1.icloud.com.akadns.net
5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
On iOS 6 device I can't receive, neither send mails.

However, if I change to @me.com, everything works fine.

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

Hi, fungo47.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID/iCloud password via the steps in the first article below. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped. Both computers are x64 bit.
Problems I am experiencing
A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream. An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
Confirmed all the warnings.
Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
iCloud has.
Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
So I'm back in business.
I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5. I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device. I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
This is really, really frustrating. I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…
