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,

IPod Mail Accounts Syncing Problem

Hi,
I keep getting the following error message when I try to sync my iPod Touch.
"iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPod "Name" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Try syncing your iPod again. If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPod from the Info tab in the iPod preferences."
Anyone got any ideas? It's only just started a couple of days ago.
Thanks,
Mel

Greetings, again, Mel -
Another forum response seems to have fixed the problem for me. From Christopher Archer comes this:
"...a much simpler "solution" to this problem. It worked for me as well as a few others. Before you sync...go to the info tab. Down at the bottom is says that during the next sync it will basically overwrite the information on the iPhone. I selected mail...since that was the error to begin with...and synced. Did fine...ran a normal sync to be safe and I'm back up and jogging."
...Me, too.

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.

iPad mail account says problem with 'ssl settings' - can you help me?

The 4Gs hardware, only 256 MB of RAM, prohibits updating beyond 6.1.6.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

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.

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.)

Mail & IMAP sync problem...

I have a MacPro and a MacBook Pro both running 10.5.6 and an iPhone. All of them connect to an IMAP email account. It's been working perfectly for a very long time.
The other day, out of the blue, my MacPro got out of sync with everything else. It doesn't show the same read/unread status, or deleted or replied status either. The laptop and the iPhone seem to be correct with the server.
BTW, I have 2 other IMAP accounts that still work perfectly between all 3 machines. It's just this one account...and on the MacPro.
I've restarted Mail and rebooted, even did a "synchronize" on the mail account, but nothing I do seems to correct the problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks...

I am having the same issue. We have only three machines we read email on. Two macs and my iPhone. Many times emails go missing. When I access my mail accounts through the web interface they are all there, but on the Macs it's very iffy. Synchonizing mailboxes does nothing.

Mail account Sync Error "an error occurred remapping record identifiers"

I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this problem I am having.
I have a POP and an IMAP (mobile.me) mail account on my Mac which I also have on my iPhone. Email works fine on both devices but on every iPhone Sync attempt in iTunes I get the same error message as per the following image.
!http://www.wrxownersclub.com.au/forum/syncerror.jpg!
The following is from the AppleMobileSync.00.log from within Console.
2009-01-30 13:04:59.682 AppleMobileSync 1440:2689074976 SyncClient.m:- ConcreteSyncClient remapRecordIdentifiers:dataClass: ERROR: Exception NSInvalidArgumentException calling clientChangedRecordIdentifiers: ISDSqliteRecordIdMapper replaceLocalId:withLocalId: : you can't change the local id 501CDE24-46B5-476F-A21A-1C9AD7E0DA60 -> 8769B17E-D91B-4E85-B960-457AFCA85949: both the new and old ids are already mapped to global ids
I've tried deleting both accounts from my iPhone but on Syncing again they are not re-created anew as I thought they would be.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Chris

Before the next sync, try going under the info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and uncheck sync email accounts. Select apply in the bottom right corner.
Quit iTunes and disconnect the iphone.
Launch the iSync application in your applications folder and go to iSync preferences.
Select Reset sync history.
After resetting sync history, restart your Mac. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone. Select syncing the email account settings for these email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Select Apply, followed by a sync.
If this works, you can deselect syncing the email account settings for your iPhone sync preferences. This transfers email account settings only from your Mac to your iPhone. After the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there isn't any reason to include this with every sync. You only need to do this if your email account settings change for these email accounts on your Mac, which shouldn't happen very often.
If this doesn't work, leave the option to transfer the email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and manually re-create the accounts with the iPhone's mail client.

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.

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

Mail Account Preferences problem

I am trying to update my mail account. When I open Preferences, click on the account, but it does not allow me to enter an email address, let alone several separated by commas. How can I adjust this? Thanks,

What is the precise error you are receiving from the server? Does it say it cannot authenticate with that username and password?
What do you have your SMTP server set as? Is it SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET? If so, try these different ports.
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:25
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:80
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:3535
It could be that your host does not allow you to send mail through SMTP servers other than theirs. If using the above servers and ports does not work, try your ISP's SMTP server.

Having downloaded and installed the latest Maverick Ios I now have a problem with mail.All my mailboxes were in alphabetical order now they are arrange randomly under my mail account, sync does not rearrange them whilst the order in the ISP account is in

I have downloaded Maverick 10.9 and installed , now my mailboxes in mail are randomly arranged as opossed to being in alphebetical order from A at the top to Z at the bottom how do you rearrenge the mailboxes in an alphbetical order.
Sync with my provider Gmail does not rearrange them on my Imac

Thanks for that .
My actual problem I may not have made very clear - sorry.
i.e.
[email protected]
AA insurance
Xero
apple
building
insurance
etc.
Shows the way the mailboxes are listed in the mail program under any particular provider, in my case I have three mail provider accounts with mail moved from the inbox to the appropraite mailbox eg [email protected] , Xero - where the incomeing mail is filed.
My problem is to arrange these mailboxes/folders in an alphabetical order under the [email protected] account

I solved my problem. All I did was go to system preferences> iCloud. then logged in and unchecked my notes and then checked it. Sync was quick and proper.
Thanks to all for your help and suggestions.
Thank you javieri for this recommendation. Did the trick for me. Notes now syncing btwn iMac, iPhone and iPad.

Mail .Mac sync problem

I have three computers all using 10.4.8 synced. One is at home, the other at the office and the third a PBG4. The problem is that I have from home I can't use smtp.mac.com to send my mail via my optimum online cable and have to use mail.optonline.net. From the office (via Time Warner cable) the smtp.mac.com is OK.
Every time .Mac Syncs it changes my home computer from mail.optonline.net to smtp.mac.com.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Or, is there a way to use smtp.mac.com from home via my optimum online modem?
Thanks.

Time Warner/RR does not block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network on Port 25 as long as the SMTP server is authenticated as is the .Mac SMTP server.
Sounds like optimum online is not very optimum in this regard and has a different restriction.
Try changing the Server Port from 25 to 587 for the .Mac SMTP server.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this works when connected to the internet via optimum online, I know this works when connected to the internet via Time Warner/RR.
If this doesn't work, maybe you can try getting optimum online's SMTP server to work when connected to the internet via Time Warner/RR.

Adding existing mail account - Technical problem

A bit of background...
I run my own mailserver (Exim 4) and wish to add my current email account to my blackberry service through T-Mobile in the UK ([email protected])
In order to do this I have to use T-Mobile's webpage to add the account details, however thsi si what is causing me the headache. After adding all the details the webpage runs a script to connect to my server in order to establish a trust relationship (so I am told by T-Mobile tech support) The page produces an error saying "An error occurred during email account verification. Please check your information and try again"
When checking the error logs on my server I see this:-
2008-04-18 15:13:40 SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=mail.bis.eu.blackberry.com [216.9.253.4]
Basically from what I can tell script that runs the verification check does not wait for the usual greetings for each line of input from the server.
I have made the suggested changes to the exim.conf file (googled the error) but I am still having the same problem.
What I need to know is if anyone knows a way to add this account without using my providers webpage?
Regards
Jerry

Have you tried to add from your BB. Just go to SetUp Email on the menu screen on your BB and Click add Email Account. It might work that way.
