Is it possible to sync mailboxes between iMac and iPad

I am trying to sync up my mailboxes between my iMac and my iPad.  Using Apple Mail App on both devices.  Using non-mac email on App.  The only place I have previous messages stored is on my iMac. Is there a way to sync them up?

The folders that you set up in Apple Mail on the Mac are for local storage only and will not sync to the iPad.
If you had an IMAP email account, any folders that you had in the account on the server would have already synced to the iPad when you created the email account in the mail app.

  • HT1631 How  can I share and sync passwords between  iMac and iPad

    I'm in password ****!!!!  My memory is not what I once was and managing passwords on my iMac and iPad is making me crazy.  The iMac is the home planet at work for the iPad and it use it all day... the iPad is my device of choice when at home. 
    The value of a strong password cannot be understated in these times!!!!
    Is there an easy way to sync passwords between the two.  I find I spend way to much time  resetting passwords because I simply cannot remember them.
    Again... and again... and again... is the story of my life.

    The following may help:
    If you are using Safari on both devices and you have iOS 7.0.3 or later on the iPad and OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later on the Mac, iCloud Keychain may be what you want: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    There are other options available with 3rd party software. Two popular ones are https://lastpass.com and https://agilebits.com/onepassword

  • I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

    I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
    I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times.  I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Linc Davis,
    I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
    I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account.  I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa.  I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
    The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync".  I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
    Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP?  I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
    Thanks

  • Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

    Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
    Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

    In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
    But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4).  Snow Leopard is now two years old.  I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

  • Bluetooth between iMac and iPad

    Both iMac and iPad are searching but not finding each other
    Could it be that the Software version matters
    iPad      5.1
    iMac      OSX 10.5.8

    What are trying to achieve via Bluetooth between the two ? Bluetooth on the iPad is mainly for headphones and keyboards, not, for example, transferring content - supported profiles : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • How to edit/share documents between iMac and iPad

    I would like to edit documents on my iPad and have those changes appear on my iMac and vice versa.
    I was hoping to use Office2 HD and Dropbox, but it seems that documents can't be saved back to Dropbox on the iPad. Everytime I try and save in Office2 HD I get a "this folder is read-ony" error.
    Is this a problem with Dropbox or is it a problem with Office2 HD?
    What work flow would people recommend? I was hoping to not have to buy the whole iWorks for both my iMac and iPad. I don't do that much of this kind of stuff and was hoping for a cheaper solution.

    Thanks Angelus angel.
    I think I worked out my problem. Because of the way the iPad deals with security you can't open a document directly from the Dropbox app into another app and then save it back.
    Instead I had to setup my Dropbox details in Office2 itself. Now it works great!

  • Is there an issue opening Pages documents between iMac and iPad"

    got the most recent version of operating systems and pages on both iMac and iPad; thought I should be able to open Pages document on both computer and device.  am I wrong?

    Make sure you are trying to open these documents in Pages 5. If you're using a Dock icon you had before updating, be aware that the Dock icons are not updated & will continue to launch the previous version which is still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork 09.

  • Reading list sync between iMac and iPad for offline reading

    If I add to reading list on my iMac, and then go to the reading list on the iPad, all is OK. I can read the items, but only if I am connected to the internet. Is it possible to set up reading list that means the content of the page is also somehow cached to the ipad? for reading off line... Thanks for any help or suggestions.

  • How do you make the actually open safari iCloud tabs sync between iMac and iPad?

    I'm trying to have it so the web browser tabs I actually have open and viewing at any time, are synced between my iMac and my iPad.
    This doesn't appear to work via iCloud Safari tabs, you just get the tabs open on your iMac as a list you can access on the iPad if you go digging through options.
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

  • Synching mail between iMac and iPad

    Is it possible to sync my mail folders on my iMac with my iPad?  In other words I want the same folders on both.  Thanks

    I think that I misled you because I worded my response incorrectly.
    The folders that you set up in Mac Mail are for local storage only. If you set up the folders on the server - do it in your webmail in a browser - those folders will sync to the iPad, but the ones that you set up in the Mac mail client will not sync - unless they are the folders that were on the server.
    That's how it should work anyway. Setup a test folder on the server and see if it syncs to the iPad, it should. Mine do.

  • Can you sync calendar between iPod and iPad

    Is it possible to sync Calendar, Contacts and Notes between an iPod and iPad, without having to use a third party method?
    I have both and would like to be able to keep these synced as there are times when it is more useful to use the alternative device.

    Use iCloud with the same Apple ID.
    Settings > iCloud.

  • Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

    I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad.  icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I'm having this issue as well.  I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported".  I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email).  When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select.  When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I).  What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad?  Thanks!
