IMAP  not in sync

What's the point? I move a mail on my iPhone when I am away to another IMAP folder and when I come back sitting in front of Mavericks opening Apple Mail the mails should be there where they belong to. Or what's the concept here? If that's not working, I force the sync by applying "Synchronize All Accounts" ... I wait but nothing happens.
So what's the deal here syncing between two devices. An iPhone using a cellular network and a Macbook using a WiFi network from the same provider.
Really good job guys.
Since how many years do we have the sync issue now?

The only time I've noticed that the rebuild option is not selectable is when I don't have a mailbox selected or I have more than one mailbox selected.
If I choose the top level "Inbox" folder which is a place holder for all of my mail server Inboxes, then the rebuild option is grayed out, but when I open the top level Inbox and select just one Inbox in the list, then I can choose the Rebuild option.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • Outlook 2013 IMAP E-Mail Sync Problems

    I'm using Outlook 2013 and have run into a few problems.  First, when checking my email, not all messages appear in my Inbox.  Comparing the inboxes of the desktop Outlook client and the online web access of my personal account (not Outlook.com),
    I can see a few dozen emails from over the past week that have not been synced.  I cannot sense a pattern as to why some have been downloaded and some haven't (some have been read and some unread, none flagged or otherwise altered) but it's quite frustrating
    to not be able to rely on something as straightforward as checking email.  I have used this email account for over 10 years and past versions of Outlook without any problems.
    Furthermore, whenever I start Outlook I have to switch folders from Inbox to another and back again before the 'Inbox synchronization' begins. If I do not change folders, Outlook runs a Send/Receive but doesn't alter the messages, just leaving the Inbox
    as it was last time I opened the program.  Granted I only have to click to any folder and back to the Inbox to get it working, but it's yet another issue I'm having with a brand new program.
    Please let me know if there are any work arounds or known bugs but I'd prefer not to try any actions that will only address past problems and not future ones (e.g. solutions proposed like 'delete account and recreate' sound to me like it would only do a
    re-sync now but not affect any future errors).  I appreciate your input and effort to help me address this.  Also, please don't hesitate to ask for more information (server name, settings, etc.).

    Hi,
    For both issues, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    We may also try repairing Office in Control Panel to check the result.
    Since a new profile always helps many users, we suggest you can have a try:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    If you use an IMAP account on Outlook, you don't have to worry about the loss of data since it will sync automatically from the server and create a new data file.
    I hope the information is helpful.

  • Existing IMAP notes not available in notes app after mountain lion installation

    After today's mountain lion upgrade (from lion) my notes stored on an IMAP server are not available in the new notes app. The folder of the IMAP Account itself is shown but appears empty. On my Iphone all notes of the IMAP Account are shoen correctly as well as on another mac still running lion.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I assume there are some different reasons for the syncing problem.
    I got my notes syncing again by just losing the prefix on my iPhone and renaming the existing notes folder. For those with a similar problem, here's how:
    Old situation:
    Within OS X Lion I used a Gmail account with notes (IMAP). To avoid a messy layout with the Gmail folders I used [Gmail] as IMAP Path Prefix (found under Accounts, tab Advanced).
    Under iOS5, 'Notes' was ticked on under the Gmail account. The result: Apple created a IMAP folder '[Gmail]/Notes' to store all notes.
    New situation:
    After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I ticked 'Notes' under the Gmail account within system prefs, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars'. The new Notes app remained empty and didn't show my existing notes that were still on my iPhone.
    Logging in to www.gmail.com reveiled a new folder created by Mountain Lion: 'Notes'. The existing notes folder was named '[Gmail]/Notes' - because I used the [Gmail] prefix - and contained al the existing notes.
    So Mountain Lion syncs with the IMAP folder 'Notes' and the iPhone syncs with the folder '[Gmail]/Notes'
    In Lion the Mail settings were used for both Mail and Notes. So the IMAP prefix applied to both.
    In Mountain Lion, the IMAP prefix only applies to Mail, not to Notes.
    New situation, fixed:
    As Mountain Lion can only use a folder called 'Notes' for syncing, I had to change the folder my iPhone was syncing with: '[Gmail]/Notes'. I removed the newly created folder 'Notes' via www.gmail.com under the label settings and renamed label '[Gmail]/Notes' to 'Notes'. After that I removed the IMAP prefix '[Gmail]' from my iPhone Gmail (advanced) account settings, making the iPhone sync notes with the folder 'Notes' instead of '[Gmail]/Notes'. That's it.
    Btw, I maintained the use of the prefix within Apple Mail under Mountain Lion as that is totally separated from the Notes section.
    Hope this helps.

  • OS4-Can't get my notes to sync after original update.

    I updated to IO4 yesterday, and all of my notes remained both on the Iphone and in my Imail program on my Imac. But today I added two notes to my Iphone (3G) and they don't sync back up to the computer. I have checked and unchecked and checked again the square next to sync notes, I even restarted both the computer and the Iphone, but to no avail.
    Any pointers on how to get my most recent notes from Iphone back to Imac?
    thanks

    problem solved at my end - three things:
    1. after iOS 4.0 installation, my previous default eMail account was changed
    ===> set it to the right one on iPhone: Setting --> Mail, Contacts,
    Calenders --> Mail --> Default Account
    An now I am not sure which setting actaully caused the notes to sync correctly again, but I changed two other settings:
    2. Setting --> Mail, Contacts, Calenders --> Notes: checked "On My iPhone"
    3. Setting --> Mail, Contacts, Calenders --> Accounts: turned off "Notes" of IMAP accounts (have 10 different mail accounts, some IMAP, some POP)
    After step 3., the option in "Notes" described in step 2. was no longer available since all notes connected to IMAP were disabled, hence, I guess if step 3. is done step 2. becomes obsolete.
    SUMMARY: guess the whole notes sync problem was related to IMAP notes settings who have a default setting which prevents the correct computer-to-iPhone sync when updating to iOS 4.0
    hope it helped you guys as well...

  • Hotmail imap not downloading inbox

    Hi
    Couldn't find a good answer to this.
    Does anyone know why hotmail's new IMAP protocol wont sync properly with OSX Mail.app?
    It doesn't download any of the inbox, although does sync trash, drafts etc.
    It also works perfectly on the iphone and even postbox on osx (which I dont really like)
    Any help appreciated!
    Duncan

    Re: hotmail imap not downloading inbox 
    Nov 2, 2013 9:38 AM (in response to chimpy33)
    I have a fix that worked for me. I used outlook.com to sweep all messages out of the inbox into a new folder, then put about 200 of my most recent messages back into inbox. Inbox is now syncing properly but the new folder is empty on my mac.
    (This is in mavericks too). The annoying thing is that it was working fine before today using the POP3 servers but I decided I wanted to take advantage of hotmail's new IMAP settings.

  • The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

    Full message that pops up
    "The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
    To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
    My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • I want to move voice memos from iPhone to PC (not just sync to itunes)

    Hi,
    I want to move voice memos from my iPhone to Windows desktop. I saw several posts about syncing them to iTunes. Thats not what i want. I want to copy them to my desktop not just sync to iTunes. Unable to copy - paste from iTunes either.

    impossible to do anything simple on iTunes, I managed to wipe all my recorded voice memos when I tried to move my files from iphone to desktop, instead they just "sync" I never got the point with sync, why can't you just export files and import files from desktop, simple as that why make it so complicated

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • I lost my itunes after syncing and older iphone to my powermac g4.  Originally I had an older ipod nano that I would sync to the g4 and everything was fine. Lost itunes music even though preferences had been set in advance for not automatically syncing.

    My itunes library had been fine.  I had been using an older ipod nano to sync with my itunes library and had been doing manual syncs, with the preferences in itunes set for not allowing "ipods or iphones" to sync automatically.  I found out that apple had a program to replace the battery on this older ipod nano, so I sent it in.  It was great, they didn't have an exact replacement and sent me a later ipod nano.  However, this ipod nano is so new - I will have to get a newer computer with a later operating system to use it.
    So, I thought I'd use my old iphone to listen to my old playlists.  I thought the preferences were set for not automatically syncing iphone to itunes.
    I've had problems in the past with the syncs with this iphone and my computer because of the USB port (1.1).  I'm thinking this was the problem.
    The apple store did something to update the software on my iphone when it wasn't working one day. I think that when I tried to sync the iphone to the g4 cube via the old port (1.1) it basically wiped out everything on my itunes.  Whatever was my selected playlist for my iphone - that was the only music
    that remained on my computer and the iphone.  I only had about 20 songs purchased on my library, but alot of music that had been downloaded, I gave away those original cds.  I did have a back up on my external drive, but that thing died a few weeks ago from some random power outtages we had this fall.
    I'm not looking to purchase retrieval software or have some outside third party to retrieve it for me.  It's not that much music lost.  I just wanted confirmation that this is what happened: that my old iphone sync is what erased the music.

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync

    what happens when "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync", & they say in step 2 or 3 in order not to loose your stuff "If you are updating your iOS device on a computer with which you do not normally sync , or if you disconnect your device before the sync process is complete, you may notice that some media content that was previously on your device is no longer there. You can restore this content by syncing with the Mac or PC with which you normally sync."
    now what if the pc that was originally used to sync my ipod , has corrupt or  bad systems files that are causing it from working correctly...? when i plug it in to the o.g. operating sysytems (win xp) it doesnt ever recognize or discover the ipod through itunes.  the pc will pop up the "cameras been plugged in, what would you like to do...?" but nothing thru itunes.  now if i reboot & run the windows 7 operating system w/itunes that has backed my ipod before & synced a few times as well, but not the o.g. op system used from the beginning (the very initial set up done on the ipod) it works fine, but DOES give me the warning "updating to 5.0 willdelete some of your apps & media, including ...  ....will only preserve contacts, calenders," ....etc.
    MY HUGE CONCERN IS if i do hit update & go through w/it, & not having been able to sync it to the one normally used to sync my ipod, will that back up i made be able to restore my game seetings, GAME SAVES, & data achievement type information....?
    please, i'm very hesitant to go through w/it, so if you can please help me out here & let me know asap.....i canimagine you're all busy busy, so  i thank you for your time here w/this

    Not that hard. One the computer you are using do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos you need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
    - When all the media in on the computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    That computer is now your syncing computer. Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps or music.
