Mac Mail with Hotmail and iPhone

So I have been searching around for hours and I have a few problems with syncing my Mail with my iPhone.
1) I have a iPhone 4s and a macbook pro. I have an email account set up on my mac mail that I want to sync with my iPhone. The problem is it is a hotmail account. The issue is I want my emails to be marked as read no matter where I read the message. What is happening is that I am reading my emails in the morning on my mac and then when I open the same email on my phone I have to go through and delete and read the same messages. Is there a way to set it up so that both my mac and my phone sync to the same unread and read messages?
2) My iPhone no longer shows me the red unread messages alert in the corner of the icon. It dings when I get an email but the icon does not alert me anymore. Any ideas why this would be gone?
Thanks

I was able to go through a long and tedious process but it looks like with some tips and trick I have managed to set up a system that works with iPhone being IMAP and Mac Mail being POP. I am making sure my messages remove the copy from the server after I move them from the inbox. This works because once I delte or move it to a folder it deletes off of hotmail and then updates my phone that hotmail messages has been removed. It is a annoying work around but it seems to work at this point.
This is what got me closest.

  • I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa.

    I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa. I have read up on it and Mobileme seemed the way to go, but isn't for sale anymore.  Will installing lion allow me to integrate calendars???

    You should post in the SL forum for more help.
    Since you're using SL, you should be able to sync using iSync application or iTunes. I'm not familiar with it, but I know it can be done.
    And yes, if you install Lion and use iCloud, you will be able to sync iCal between all devices. Once set up, whatever change made on one automatically updates the other. Same for AddressBook.

  • .MAC SYNC WITH PC AND IPHONE?

    WITH THE NEW WIRELESS sync to my .mac account from my macbook, can i setup IPHONE to wirelessly sync with .mac so my contacts are always up to date without having to plug in

    That's not what the OP is referencing.
    Then please explain this reference copied from the first sentence in the OP's post.
    +*WITH THE NEW WIRELESS sync to my .mac account from my macbook,*+
    I know what the OP's question is and the answer.
    I'm asking the OP a specific question about the reference made. Geez...

  • Unsync mail with iPad and iPhone

    I  am using an iMac, system 10.9.5. I want my mail to NOT sync with that on my iPad Air and my iPhone 6plus. It used to be set that way before I got the new 6Plus and upgraded the Air. I thought the Techie who helped with download problems  had arranged that for me, but when I went to look for some old  mail today, he hadn't. This computer is out of warranty, so I cannot phone AppleCare. I am bereft.

    I suspect the iCloud setting are currently set to sync. Verify the iCloud settings on all the devices you use. If you are not sure how, Apple explains how and where to look in https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • HT5225 I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G.  I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.

    Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
    Thank-you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Mac mail 4.5 and yahoo mail

    Anyone else having problems with mac mail 4.5 and sending mail with yahoo.mail server.  Mine is so erratic It's driving me crazy.  It works fine for a while then all of sudden it will just stop working for days at a time.  This happens without me changing any settings whatsoever.  I have other mail programs using the same servers AND THEY WORK FINE.  So this is total crap.  When I try getting help from my ISP they said it is a mac mail problem.  When I try to get help from APPLE (which is pretty much non existant) they say its an ISP problem.  The only thing I know is that its' my problem and I've given both these companies tons of money and they've left me hanging out in the breeze with arguably the most basic and important funciton of having a computer and an internet connection.  Screw them all I say.
    Anyone out there to help with this quandry.  By the way I've used mail connection doctor.  It has problem connecting to the outgoing server, but then it does and says all is fine.  But I still cant send mail.  I go back to connecton doctor and do a "check again" and now it CANT connect.  Jeez this is just awful

  • Mac mail with website mail outgoing servers

    I have set up mac mail with my website email. This is hosted by 123-reg.co.uk. I have set up all the account on mac mail, and have sent an email TO the website mail address from another of my emails, which works fine. However when I try to send outgoing mail it does not connect tot the outgoing mail server.
    I have contacted 123-reg who have gone through all the settings with me and have confirmed that it is set up for normal mac mail settings. They suggested then that it something to do with mac mail blocking the port. Could you tell me how to sort this.

    Port 110 is strictly for incoming servers using POP3 -- has nothing to do with the SMTP. For that, click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, and choose Edit Server List. The report of Connection Doctor means you should be on Port 25, most likely, and Authentication should be set to None.
    Try choosing Use Custom Port in the Advanced tab of the window for the SMTP settings, and enter Port 25, but nothing for Authentication or Password. You were probably selected to Use Default Ports, and there was a hitch with Port 25, and Mail tried to use another port -- maybe.

  • The calendar app on MacBook won't recognize and sync with IPad and Iphone after upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4.0

    After upgrading to Yosemite on our mac mini (from OS X 10.9) and V4.0 to Server (from 3.2), the calendar app on MacBook won't recognize the account and won't sync with IPad and Iphone. Even after giving password over and over again. I get the following message: 
    De server reageerde met
    '500'
    op de bewerking 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'.
    (Server responded with '500' on task 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'
    Anyone idea?

    update to my original post:  after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
    Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS.  This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

  • Sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

  • Receive a mail with attachment and send it as it is via Mail-receiver

    Hi,
    we have PI/7.0
    I have a scenario with a mail-sender.
    I get mails with attachments and depending on the subject I have to send some mails to an other mail-address via mail-receiver-adapter.
    My problem is, that I have to send it "as it was" - with all attachments (and the correct attachment names) and the original mail-body.
    I tried to check the checkbox "keep attachments": I got all attachments but the original mail-body was now an extra attachment (with the extension .xml).
    I don't wanna have this new attachment!
    What can I do?
    Thanx a lot!
    Regards
    Wolfgang

    Hi,
    I think quite simple
    message protocol: xipayload
    Use Mail package: NO
    Keep Attachments: YES
    Content encoding: <nothing>
    No extra modul
    I entered all address-informations (from, to,...) in the fields displayed after the checkbox for "use mail package".
    that's all.
    regards

    I'm using the most up to date software.
    Thanks

    Thanks for that, on the sync via iTunes, when my iphone is connected to iTunes via USB my photos tab says my iphone but I can never see any pics there. If I press Sync it still doesn't show anything.
    Correction from my original post, it only comes up with PhotoStream on my computer when I'm connected via USB.
