Import a new mail account from mac to iPhone

Hello folks,
I have a macbook pro and an iPhone 4. The first time I connected my iPhone to the macbook it imported all the mail accounts, with all the settings and so on. Now, I create a new email account on my macbook and I cannot figure out how to import this new mail account on the iPhone. Could you help me please?
Thanks

Oh no So if I want this account on my iPhone I have to create it directly from iPhone
Correct.
You create the account in mail on your Mac & on your phone. Since it's an exchange account, they will both be kept in sync. When you select sync mail accounts in iTunes, it's only the account settings that are synced, no actual messages are synced at all. You normally only do this one to transfer the account settings to your phone.

  • How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

    Hi,
    May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
    How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
    Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
    For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
    Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
    I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
    I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
    Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
    I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
    Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
    MANY THANKS!

  • E-mail account from .mac account

    I had a family account with .mac which allowed me to have multiple e-mail addresses.  One of thoes e-mail addresses is now inaccesible/inactive since the transition, and I'm not sure how to make it work again?  The main e-mail account works fine. . . .

    Have you migrated the sub account to iCloud yet.
    Move
    If not you need to do it with urgency, the option may not be around for much longer.

  • See e-mails sent from Mac on iPhone?

    Hi, I have OSX 10.9.1 on my Macbook and ios 7 on my iPhone and I use iCloud. What can I do to make an e-mail sent from my Mac turn up on my iPhone when I search for it on the iPhone for instance by using the sent e-mail´s subject content?
    Kind regards

    The default setup on the phone does not synchronise the "sent" folder, so it wont appear on your webmail account.
    If you enable synchronisation for that folder, it will appear on your webmail account as a new folder called "sent items", So you end up with a "sent" and a "sent items" folder on your webmail account.
    You can enable folder sychronisation by the following sequence.
    Messaging - select account - press menu - select "folders (5)" - press menu - select "manage folder (2)".
    You will then be given the option whether to sync, or not sync a folder.
    Any folder that you sync, will appear on your webmail account next time you connect.
    This only works for the default IMAP setup.

  • Import Mail settings from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi folks,
    I've had my iPhone for a couple of months now, but only recently have I discovered that I couldn't send email... It must have happened recently, though, because I remember sending email to various contacts a few weeks ago because I was away from home and in a hurry to send those emails. In any case, I can't send any email anymore, from either one of the four email accounts I have set in Mail on my iPhone : every time I try, I get an error message stating my password is wrong, even though I'm absolutely sure it isn't. So I've been thinking, since I have the same accounts set in my MacBook Pro's Mail (and incidentally in Thunderbird), is it possible to import those settings on my iPhone via iTunes?

    No, but you can try to set it up at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/

  • How to remove mail account from mac only

    I just have my mac air and used it for 1 week, but am gonna give it out to my sister changing with another one. I have set up my yahoo email accounts in my mac air, and how could i delete the email account on my mac without deleting all the contents form the server? Anyone help please, thanks

    You can create an Admin account for your sister and then delete your account.
    Backup any important data first before deleting your account.

  • Accessing Exchange Mail Account on Mac vs iPhone

    Hi Everyone,
    I have an iphone and mac. I have entered my companies exchange information into my iphone and everything works fine, mail, address book and calendar. It was actually very easy.
    I've now added the same account to my mac. When i set it up, mail set about syncing all my folders, including sent/deleted items. I have an unlimited amount of mail storage on my exchange account and mail synced everything and i mean everything, some 10GB of mail. It has not eaten up my entire months allowance of data.
    I'd like to better understand how this works. Am i correct in assuming that my iphone only accesses the information as I need it from the sent/deleted items folders? I'm wondering my my mac synced everything, but my iphone seems to manage the process much more efficiently.
    Thanks in advance

    ditto what KT said...the passcode requirement enables the encryption of the local storage of your device and auditing of that policy ..it protects your organization AND you from potential data loss and a  mandatory reporting obligation..imagine how miserable it would be to see the name of your organization on the front page of your local newspaper with a story about data loss....every IT and risk management department's worst nightmare

  • Converting Mac Mail Accounts from POP to IMAP?

    I'm just discovering IMAP for keeping my email synced. Is it possible to convert my 5 Mac Mail accounts from POP to IMAP or do I really have to start 5 new accounts & then deal with importing all that email to the new ones somehow? I've tried experimenting with changing the incoming mail server manually form pop.gmail.com to imap.gmail.com to no avail. Any suggestions/instructs are appreciated. Also, seems that, at least for gmail, the recommended Apple Mail client pref settings aren't current with Mail 3.5. Any guide to where mailbox behaviors should be set to work correctly for gmail & other mail servers (I'm using gmail, comcast, godddy and a private mail server) would be great!

    first you have to make sure that the email providers for those accounts offer IMAP. if they don't you can't do anything. gmail does as you mentioned but most email providers only offer one type of access. if an email provider supports IMAP then you have to create a new account for IMAP for the email address. there is no way to change the type of an existing account. once you do set it up it will sync with the server so if your mail was kept on server (that's the default for gmail POP I think) you don't have to do anything. It will sync automatically. If you remove POP mail from server (default for most POP providers) then you'll have to move your messages from the existing local POP mailbox to the imap mailbox. It will sync with the server and upload all those emails back to the server. That might take a long time and a lot of bandwidth if you have a lot of stuff so it's up to you if you want to do this. You can simply move that mail to a local mailbox in "on my mac" section. after your imap account is set and has all the mail you need, you can delete the POP account.
    Lastly see this link for gmail imap setup (also check out the link to recommended client settings)

  • Disabling certain mail accounts from "new message count" in Mail dock icon

    Hi,
    I'd like to disable two of my mail accounts from affecting the new message count that appears over mail's dock icon. How might I do this?
    Thanks in advace

    the only option you have is to choose between all mailboxes and inbox, in mail>preferences>general
    other than that, you may want to look at plugins such as dockstar to do more customization of the notification features: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/dockstar/
    hope this helps

  • Importing Mail account from v.3.6 to mail v.4.3, help please

    I am attempting to transition one large mailbox (40k+ emails) from an imac running 10.5.8(mail v3.6) to a new imac with 10.6 and mail v.4.3.
    Migration assistant was used to move the user documents file overnight, however the new imac had been created with a new User account. The Mail files were then dragged manually into the new users Library. Upon starting mail for the first time it did not recognize the files from v.3.6 as a new mail account. The users previous account info was entered, and resulted in mail attempting to download 45000 emails:( even though the emails were visible in the new imacs Mail application.
    Mail that has been sorted into folders by name, is readable and seemingly all there, however mail unsorted in the Inbox contains all blank emails.
    Importing the mailbox doesnt seem necessary at this point, need to prevent mail from attempting to download the entire 40k(30gigs worth) of mail when checking for new mail.
    thanks for the help

    Bump! Any related experiences appreciated:)

  • How do I stop Thunderbird from creating additional folders when I add a new mail account?

    I've been using Thunderbird for about 8 years now, migrating the configuration from version to version. Currently I have two accounts it picks up email from. I want to add a third account but everytime I do this, it creates a bunch of new folders with the name of the account in my folder tree. This is undesirable, mainly because it looks terrible and it's also dodging the default filtering I have set up globally for received messages.
    How do I create a new mail account without it making new folders and just using the local folders like the other accounts already do?
    I do not use Thunderbird's internal spam filtering, I use popfile and use message filters to sort the emails by headers Popfile adds to my messages. I do not understand why it won't let me make a new account like the other accounts without making a special folder for the new account. Please help?

    Item 1. Global inbox only works with POP mail accounts.
    Tools menu > account settings >server Settings > advanced and select use global inbox to turn it on. Note the folder will disappear, so move the mail you want from them before you change the settings.
    Item 2. IMAP accounts must have their own folders. The View menu > folder > unified view was designed to overcome that as much as possible,

  • Mail Account sync from mac to iPhone

    i cant sync my mail accounts from my mac to my iphone 4! the register "info" isnt there in iTunes.
    so i have to type all the settings on the iphone again. with mountain lion it was really easy to sync my mail accounts. why is this function not included in mavericks?

    I've got the same problem. I need my iMac to talk to my iPhone but it's not doing anymore. I also tried creating a randon Playlist in iTunes and it didn't sync that either. I don't want iCloud as it confuses matters and gives me double entries, I'll let you know if I find a work around.
