Is it possible to NOT sync Mail preferences via iCloud?

I use Mail on both my office Mac and home Mac and would like to have slightly different email Rules setup on each. It seems, however, that in Mountain Lion, Mail automatically syncs its preferences via iCloud. I have looked through both the application and System Peferences settings and can see no location that allows me to change this behavior. FWIW, in System Preferences, I have iCloud set to NOT sink Mail, but it is set-up to sync Documents and Data.
Any ideas?

I turned off the iCloud syncing of Mail between machines. Both machines communicate with the same IMAP server independently, so my email remains in sync that way.
My problem is that even though iCloud is not syncing my mail, it seems to be syncing my Mail.app preferences, which means all my filtering rules end up being duplicated across the two machines. Where this is a problem for me is that I have a filter setup to send me notifications (via boxcar.io) when messages from particular people or groups arrive in my inbox. When the preferences get synced both machines process the message and push a notification, so I get double notified of everything.

  • TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.  If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar.  If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer.  Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off.  When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.  After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone.  Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

  • Safari bookmarks not syncing to Mac via iCloud - Syncing works between iPhone and iPad.

    My iPhone and iPad both have the Safari iCloud option set to 'ON' in my devices settings. My bookmarks sync between my iPad and iPhone correctly but bookmarks do not synce between my Mac and my two devices.
    In iTunes, when I have either my iPad or iPhone connected it says: 'Your bookmarks are being synced over the air from iCloud.'
    What setting am I missing to get my bookmarks to sync properly from and too my Mac?

    Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud.  Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices.  If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
    Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences.  If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so.  Then recheck them.
    See if that helps.

  • Itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad beacuse the mail accounts are in use by the ipad

    hi all  just syncing pc and ipad after 7.0.3 upgrade and get the message that itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad because mail accounts are in us eby the ipad.  i know i have seen several older threads on this,. but now cant find them.  any ideas how to get over this problem message?  many thanks

    When my icloud account is attached to my device I go to mail, contacts, calendars, and there is absolutely no way to remove my mail account. When I deleted my icloud account it suddenly gave me a way to delete and readd my mail account, and synching became feasible again. Synching wasn't possible for me, when I had an icloud account. I suppose the icloud idea still isn't feasible, at least Ican't figure out how to use it.

  • "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

    When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • ERROR: itunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone etc.

    Brand new iphone owner. Day two. The initial sync was fie, on the next sync I got the the following error message."iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone (my name) iPhone because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. Close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone then sync again."
    I can't find this one in other discussions. HELP!

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.

  • Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

    Hello
    I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
    Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
    Strange !!
    Any Idea ?
    Best
    Cyril

    i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

  • Not syncing mail between iMac, iPhone, iCloud

    I'm not syncing mail between devices.
    Email sent with iMac doesn't show on iPhone (and vice versa).
    No mail sent with either iMac or iPhone is showing on iCloud.
    Please help!

    AFTER I asked the question, then the answer presented itself in a list of previously asked questions!  (And I had looked before too.)  It involves "Signing Out" of iCloud with the iMac, and with the iPhone.  Then I signed in again. It was scary (took a long time) getting the mail loaded again, but it seems to be working now.
