Mac Mail drafts don't appear in Gmail and vice-versa. HELP??

When I start writing a message in Mountain Lion's Mac Mail and save it as a draft, it appears locally, but not on Gmail or iOS Mail. It does however appear in imap/[draft] on Gmail and I cannot edit it. Messages that are drafted in Gmail or iOS Mail appear in each other's drafts but not in Mac Mail's. AOL mail on the other hand does not have this issue. Messages drafted on any device show up on the other device. See attached schematic for clarification.
I have tried things such as "Mailbox" > "Use this Mailbox For" in Mac Mail, but that seemed to make matters worse. Copies of drafts remained after sending emails, nothing was properly syncing, etc. It basically became a giant mess. I've searched long and hard and can't find anything that solves my issue. Does anyone have any advice on how to remedy the problem? Is it even fixable?

Verify that the user names and passwords are entered correctly.
Restoring from backup does not seem to always restore the password for email accounts.

    When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
    - During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
    - With the headphones, everything is ok!
    - I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
    I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.

  • Mails on iPhone shown as unread on Mac and vice versa - how to sync it?

    Hello dear supporters,
    My question is concerning the Mail application both on Mac (Version 3.6) and on iPhone (iOS 4).
    I have an e-mail account which I use on both devices.
    As I am often on the road, I read many of my mails of this account on the iPhone but when I'm at my Mac I read them there so that, in effect, the status of the mails (read and unread) is different between both devices.
    Now, when I'm plugging my iPhone to iTunes in order to sync contacts, apps and so on (I don't use other sync services at the moment), the status of the two mail programs is not getting synchronized, both applications seem to load, work and send the mails seperately.
    The problem is that I always have to open all the mails on my iPhone manually which I already read on my Mac and vice versa in order to turn the "unread"-status (in both Mac and iPhone) off and to see which mails are really new. This is really annoying as I get a lot of mails and as my network is quite slow, it takes quite a while to tick all the mails off manually.
    So the question is: how can the number of really unread mails (neither read on iPhone nor on Mac) be synchronized?
    I hope you understand what I am talking about but if not, I while try to explain it other way (I'm not fluent in English but I will do my best).
    Thanks!!
    P.S.: Another question (less annoying but would be also quite useful at some moments) is how I can synchronize the mails in the "sent"-folder as I want to see which mails I sent from my iPhone on the Macs' Mail application and vice versa.

    More than likely with the situation you are describing, you have a POP3 account for your mail. If that is the case, they are designed to be used by a single mail client. They are not designed to be, and cannot be synced together, and if you open them on one client and leave them on the server and open the other client, they will still appear as unread.
    The only alternative is to get an IMAP account, if your mail provider offers that, or look into some of the web based mail providers that have IMAP accounts available.
    Attaching the iPhone to iTunes does not sync mail, even if you check off the box about mail sync, all that does is sync the mail account information (i.e. server names, etc.) but does not sync content.
    Hope that answers your questions.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

  • Read e-mail in Mail appears as unread on iPhone, and vice versa, with IMAP

    My Mail accounts are configured using IMAP. When I read an e-mail on my iMac or PowerBook, it appears as read on my iPhone. And vice versa.
    Yesterday I changed my e-mail passwords with my website host. I updated my passwords in Mail and my iPhone too. While I'm able to receive and send messages from both computers and my iPhone, now when I read an e-mail on one device, it does not appear as read on the others.
    Any idea how to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    I just noticed that moving an e-mail from one folder to another on one device will be reflected on another one (although the message still won't be marked as read).

  • Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

    I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
    I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
    When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
    Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

    Hi,
    Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
    Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
    Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second  is not possible.

  • HT1766 Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

    I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2.  We share my Apple ID.  Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa?  She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

    no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

  • Mac OS 10 can't see files on HD coming from OS 9 and vice versa?

    Hello, all!  Got a TiBook 1Ghz with a 255 GB HD which I've partitioned in half, one for Tiger/OS 9 and one for Leopard.  Problem:  Any file placed on Vol 2 in OSX is invisible in OS 9 and vice versa, so one writes over the other.  Vol 1 works fine.  Tried reformatting, disk repair, DiskWarrior 9 and 10, re-installing all the operating systems.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    Hi, kennethfromtoronto & BGreg!  I do know that OS  9 is not supported by Leopard, however I'm not talking about running 9 in Classic.  This TiBook will run 9 by itself, but when I run OS 9 it is from Volume 1 which also has Tiger installed.  I can boot from Tiger or from OS 9 from Volume 1 and they both run just fine.
    The problem is that when do I boot from OS 9, it can't see the files on Volume 2 that were placed there under OS X Tiger.  Conversely, when I run Tiger, the files I put on Vol 2 while running OS 9 are not visible.  It's like I'm running a parallel universe.  Unfortunately, this allows one system to overwrite whatever was put on the volume from the other system, and vice versa, with the net effect that I don't dare run OS 9 for fear of overwriting data on Volume 2. 
    Also when I do run Leopard from the second volume, it also cannot see any files on Volume 2 that were put there under OS 9.
    Note that with Volume 1 there is no visibility problem, no matter which of the three systems is running.  It happens with the second volume, whether it has an operating system installed on it or not.
    Usually I am good at figuring this stuff out, but you see how confusing this is...  My thinking is there might be a bug in the Apple formatting software?  I used the Disk Utility from my external hard drive which runs Leopard.
    Makes a good puzzle to solve, anyway...  Thanks for the help!

  • TS3899 My ipad does not communicate with iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting should be changed?

    My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?

    It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
    For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.

  • Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
    External drives if you need more space.
    However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
    Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
    Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
    Rack your brain here on it.

    Your messages may be synced with your email server, but whether you have read it or not is device-dependent.  That information is not synced.

  • Can't save mac mail drafts

    When creating a new message in mac mail I cannot save it as a draft as I have been able to do in the past. After writting a message an error will pop up a minute or so later and warn me that I cannot save the file as a draft and any attempt to save the draft is unsuccessful. Any suggestions?

    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? Who is the provider? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
