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/

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot sync mail settings from macbook to iphone using itunes

    hi. i am another new mac user. i have one problem with syncing my iphone through itunes. i can select contacts, calendar and bookmarks, BUT the mail options are shaded grey and not available to select.
    i'm guessing that somehow i have selected that mail be synced with mobile me, but i don't want to do this!
    can anyone please advise how i revert to syncing with itunes?
    also, don't know if this is related, but my iphone doesn't seem to be backing up to my macbook when i try syncing or updating in itunes.
    Would be really grateful for guidance. thanks.

    Hi,
    For the email account syncing issue, try restarting the iPhone and your Mac. You can restart the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 34 of the iPhone User Guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
    For the backup issue, try right-clicking the iPhone and choosing Backup iPhone as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Do you see the backup in the iTunes> Preferences> Devices?

  • How to import service settings from Mac Srvr 10.7 to Mac Srvr 10.10??

    I can export server settings on a Mac server 10.7. So how to I import them on Mac server 10.10??  No import option? Hello

    You can use the serveradmin command line tool.  For example, if on 10.7 you are looking to export your DNS settings, you would use:
    sudo serveradmin settings dns > ~/dns.settings
    Then move the file to the new server and reverse the process using:
    sudo serveradmin settings dns < ~/dns.settings
    ( The ~/ will create a file at the root your home folder)  This process will work for most of the services (use sudo serveradmin list to see all services).  Please note that this process does not move data.  It only will move configuration information. 
    If moving Open Directory, you will likely want to create an OD archive or export the users and groups as flat files.  Please note that flat files will not include passwords.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,
    Doug

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • Import mail boxes from Thunderbird crashes mail!

    Has anyone any idea what I can do to ensure Mail does not crash when I import mail boxes from Thunderbird?
    I would love to us Mail but unless I can bring my mailboxes it isn't happening.
    Is there a file size limit or is Mail for Mac just flakey?

    Could you please explain the whole process of exporting mail from Snow to Lion. I have been trying for weeks on two diffrent computers and I can not get it to work.
    I have moved the library, not sure to delete the envelopes. How do you export the  mbox-files ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi.
    First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
    My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
    I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
    All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
    BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
    HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
    I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
    If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
    C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.

    These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.

  • I cannot sync all my photos from mac ti iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos arte copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac!

    I cannot sync all my photos from mac to iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos are copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac! I select The album that I want to sync on The iPhone on iTunes but the syncronization finishes before all the photos of the selected albums are copied on The phone.

    You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
    What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.
