Mail account sync iCloud

I signed up with .mac then went to .me now it's .icloud
Anyhow it used to resync all my mail accounts when I reinstalled a new system in .me and .mac. it's not doing it now with .icloud
It synced only the iCloud email address but the other two accounts are not automatically setup as they used to.
How do you get iCloud to sync all the mail accounts? I'd like it to restore my previous settings before I had to wipe my disk.
Thx for any help.

Hi rwpinto,
With the introduction of OS X Mountain Lion, Notes were moved to their own standalone application. Therefore, iCloud will sync notes with the Notes application instead of Mail:
Notes: Set up notes for your accounts

OS X Mountain Lion: Apps included with your Mac

Thanks,

Mail Accounts syncing not working

When I got my iPhone I originally setup access to one of my mail accounts directly on the device, so never came across this problem. When I recently set iTunes to "Sync selected Mail accounts" and added my other accounts, I came across some problems.
First of all, I got the "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone… because an error occurred remapping record identifiers."
I got around this by painstakingly adding only 1 account at a time, then syncing, then adding another account, then syncing, etc.
I've kept "Sync selected Mail accounts" checked, but now every so often when I sync my iPhone (by docking it) I'll lose ALL my mail settings on the device. Of course, I don't usually find this out until I'm away from my computer and try to use Mail on the iPhone
Has anyone else come across this problem (disappearing Mail settings?) or a fix?
I've already tried restoring the iPhone, but this problem persists.
For now, I am configuring Mail manually on the iPhone and leaving mail accounts syncing in iTunes off.

Check Damon's response in this thread with instructions for resetting the sync history on your Mac.

If this is successful, and the email account settings for selected email accounts are successfully transferred to your iPhone, you can deselect this option. The sync process for email account settings is in one direction only - from your computer to your iPhone. Unless a change is made to the settings for an account on your computer that you want reflected on your iPhone, there is no reason to continue to sync email account settings every time you sync.

Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

Yes - you want to go under Notifications, Mail. Set each acct the way you want.

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

How can you delete the mail account on iCloud once you've added one.. If it were wrong...

Syncing OS X Mail Accounts with iCloud

Hi folks!
I am thinking about finally updating my OS X to Mountain Lion... sad fact is I am still on Snow Leopard. Well it's not sad... I have not felt the need to update it, been busy with work and didn't want to rock the boat sorta speak, everything currently is working to my expectations.
I am wondering about iCloud - I currently use iCloud on my iPhone only... not on my Mac (as of course it is Snow Leopard). I am wondering, can iCloud back up mail accounts like the good ole MobileMe did? I used to subscribe to MobileMe and one of the features I loved was that I could put all my OS X Mail Account settings into the 'cloud' and restore them at any time. Is that possible now with iCloud?
Another idea I had... as I am not using iCloud at the moment on my Mac, I use iTunes to sync my mail accounts to my iPhone 4 - do you think it is possible to send those account settings from my iPhone to iCloud, and then back down into my MacBook once I have completed the upgrade to Mountain Lion? Better than having to setup multiple email address again ;-)
Cheers!

With Snow Leopard you can access your iCloud email by setting Mail up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
If you upgrade your Mac to Mountain Lion you will be able to access iCloud fully and the data which is already on there will sync to your Mac: you will need to be careful about possible duplicates. You should be asked which set of data should be the master.

Mail Account sync from mac to iPhone

i cant sync my mail accounts from my mac to my iphone 4! the register "info" isnt there in iTunes.
so i have to type all the settings on the iphone again. with mountain lion it was really easy to sync my mail accounts. why is this function not included in mavericks?

I've got the same problem. I need my iMac to talk to my iPhone but it's not doing anymore. I also tried creating a randon Playlist in iTunes and it didn't sync that either. I don't want iCloud as it confuses matters and gives me double entries, I'll let you know if I find a work around.

HT4898 Mail accounts in iCloud

Hi it says that my mail accounts will no longer sync when I move from mobileme to iCloud. I have several email accounts, including one mobileme @mac account and some other non-mac accounts. What does this mean? And what happens to my mail accounts when I move to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Non .mac/.me email will be unaffected by your migration to iCloud. What it means is that their settings won't be synced, this only applies when you set up a new device, you'll need to set up non iCloud mail manually on a new device from now on.

Cannot retrieve email from Mail account on iCloud

SInce Tuesday, Sept 11th I have been unable to retrieve my messages on my iCloud mail account. Mail doesn't work on my MacBook Pro or any of my devices (iphone or ipad). When I try to log on to iCloud I can see my calendar and contacts, however I cannot access my mail. When I ran Connection Doctor I get the following message:
"Trying to log in to this iCloud IMAP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct. Also verify that the server supports Apple Token authentication. If it does not, choose an appropriate authentication setting in the Advanced tab of the Account preferences."
Mail continues to place this email account in an offline position moments after I click to take it online.
I've read some reports of others having this problem occur on Tuesday as well. Is this an iCloud issue? Please advise.

You can try deleting the account on your iphone and setting it up again.

Exchange 2007 mail account sync with Mail 4.0 does not happen

I am setting up my work exchange 2007 mail account in Mail 4.4. The total size of mail box is ~ 200MB. Folders smaller than 10MB have synced properly and I can see the mails in these folders inside Mail.
However, none of the mails inside folders >10MB are visible in Mail. Activity window in Mail does not indicate that a sync is going on. But I can see that Mail has correctly calculated the folder sizes on server and no. of messages on server (for every folder) in Account Info.
I have waited close to 5hrs hoping that it is probably a slow first time sync, but I am not closer to seeing the mails in Mail.
Any leads to solving this would help.
Thanks

I was having this problem as well with a different host's email account. I was able to get IMAP as an option by holding down the Option key. But then was unable to connect to the server to send/receive mail. Turning off SSL in two places worked:
- Uncheck SSL from the SMTP server settings (click on the SMTP server name & select "Edit SMTP Server List to get to this setting); and
- From the Advanced Options Tab. Also, in Advanced Options, you may need to change the port to 143 (it may be defaulted to 993 since SSL is the default.)

TS3988 Cannot unlink old e-mail account from iCloud

I am trying to update my iCloud e-mail address to reflect my new e-mail, however there is no way on my iPad to do this -- it refuses to take my old password and even though I have reset my password with Apple AND provided both my old and new e-mail addresses and entered all of the correct verification questions it persists in asking me for the password for my old e-mail account. This is an AMAZINGLY FRUSTRATING process Apple has set it -- it has virtually no comparison to any other security system online -- my bank, my brokerage account, my access to my health records are ALL SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER TO ACCESS and to manage security for. You guys HAVE to make this easier and more intuitive. It's 100% a broken system right now -- what's the point of having verification questions and asking for both old and new e-mail accounts if this does NOTHING but put you back in the same inescapable loop? For the amount of money you guys make off your devices and digital sales you'd think you could hire someone to solve issues like this gracefully. PLEASE help resolve this. I am highly technically literate...I cannot imagine what it might be like for your users who are less so.

This is the forum where you do not address apple, but help is provided by users like you. Surprise, I know.
Go back to appleid site and change your new apple id back to old one for one minute. That will trick Apple server into thinking that old id exists, allowing just enough time to delete account. Change it back when done and verify.

Mail account sync problem

Hi
Was using Outlook the other day and got an error on an IMAP account so had to remove and add the account to Outlook again. Just syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes and the sync stays at 'Syncing mail accounts'. No error message, just stays at this stage. So I cancelled the sync, deleted the particular account from the phone and tried to sync again in the hope it would work. Still not.
Anyone got any tips or advice? Obviously I can add the email account manually on the phone again, but this isn't going to stop the sync process in the future. Is there a way of disabling this stage of the sync process?
Thanks
Ricky

I solved this (pretty much) by just taking the entire user/library/mail folder from the machine that had all 3 of my gmail accounts syncing correctly , i.e. delete and replace on the mbp that had a stuck account. So now the sync works as expected by my overall mail count is not exact: on the imac it's currently Inbox (1203 messages) and on the mbp it's Inbox (1138 messages). The difference must be back in time, and not within the last few weeks as I checked back that far and things seem to match up on both machines. It would be nice to fix, but not imperative, assuming whatever is missing is still on the Gmail website...somewhere. So I'll keep this post open in case anyone has more ideas. cheers,

No mail account sync - reamapping of entry indentification

Dear all:
I can not sync anymore one of my email account because of a strange message; "error during the reamapping of entry indentification"...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Hi Illaas,
Thanks for your response.
You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
Thanks for your input.
