Mail and .sync

My Address Book keeps Syncing with .mac even though I don't want it to and I did not extend the free .Mac trial.
I turned off "Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac" in the Address Book preferences.
I can not however turn off "Synchronize with .Mac" in the .Mac preferences (it is dimmed) and even though it says "Manual" the Address books continues to sync and leaves me with an empty address book every day!!!!!

Step 1
Start your computer and once it is running Snow Leopard, open the "Mail" application.
Step 2
Move your mouse to the upper left corner of your screen and place it over the word "Mail". Click and hold your mouse down to see the drop down menu. Move your mouse down to the second item in the list, "Preferences". The preference window will open when you let go of the mouse.
Step 3
At the top of the window is a menu bar. The second item on the bar is "Accounts". Select it by mouse clicking on it once.
Step 4
Now move your mouse over to the name of your mail account located on the left side of the window and click on it once. The screen will now display detailed information about your mail account. Located toward the right side of the window near the top is a tab labeled " Mailbox Behavior". Select it by mouse clicking on it once.
Step 5
At the top of the new window is a check box next to a "Notes" icon that reads "Show Notes in Inbox". Remove the check mark in the box by mouse clicking on it once.
Step 6
Switch to the another email account and you will be asked to save the changes. Select Save and do the same for any other accounts. Close the "Preferences" window and you will be asked to save the changes. Select Save.
Step 7
You will now see that the notes are no longer listed in your Mac Mail inbox.
Best regards, Peach

IMAP Mail and syncing with Server

So I would like to convert from POP mail to IMAP. I have created a new account in Mail and so far I have been able to receive emails no problem. The issue is that sent emails are not being saved and I cannot save drafts. I can send emails fine but I do not have any copies of them. It seems as though mail is having trouble communicating with my server. The option to save sent and drafts IS selected. After speaking to my hosting provider, the issue seemed to be in the PORT on the Advanced tab. It was set by deafult to 143. they suggested I change the port to 110 which is what they support. When I do that and then subsequently send an email, I get a SENT EMAIL folder under the SENT folder in MAIL. Same with drafts and I am able to send emails, but NOW I can;t receive them. They are being delivered to my server as I checked throught my web portal, but Mail wont bring them down.
the whole reason I am switching to IMAP is so that I can sink RECIEVED, SENT and DRAFT emails between my two computers.
Any ideas please?

Well, if you did that, then it should be no surprise that you cannot receive mail now. Change the port back to 143, which is what should be used for an IMAP account. Port 110 is for POP.
After changing the port back to 143, which mailboxes related to the IMAP account do you see in Mail? Where/how do you see them? Do you see a Sent Messages and/or a Drafts mailbox with a generic folder icon (i.e. other than the standard Sent and Drafts mailboxes) anywhere in the mailboxes list in Mail? Do mailboxes on the server appear as subfolders of the account's Inbox?

What's the difference between E-mail and Sync e-ma...

My gmail account on my 5800 doesn't update automatically anymore.
Does it have something to do with the account being under the 'E-mail' header and not the 'Sync e-mail' one? What's the difference between these too?

If you assign your gmail account to the sync email app when you first open sync email it asks you for mailbox in use, chose the one you want to use and set the time between sync , access point etc. The basic difference is manual and automatic (unless someone can come up with a definative technical explanation that will give you a better answer ) just go to options-settings in messaging and you should be able to get it working !
Good Luck

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

E-mail (Outlook) syncs to iMac and iPad, but not to iPhone. How can I get it to sync to all three devices?

My e-mail (Outlook) syncs to my iMac and my iPad. However, I can read e-mails on my new iPhone, respond to them, and even erase them, but when I go to my computer or iPad afterwards, they still appear unopened and I have to open each one and close it again so it doesn't show up as an unread e-mail. This does not happen with the iMac and iPad; deleting it on one of those deletes it on the other as well. What am I doing wrong?

I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the Using iPhone Forum. You should get helped there.

Calendar does not sync via ActiveSync. Mail and Contacts work fine.

I recently started using ActiveSync to connect to my corporate Exchange server. Mail and contacts synchronize properly, but calendar items are not downloaded from the server. The iPhone can write to the calendar by adding a new appointment of accepting a new meeting request. I can also see the full list of calendars in my Exchange mailbox when using the iPhone. Simply put, the calendar items are the only part that's missing.
My IT team has confirmed that calendar items will sync to Windows Mobile devices using ActiveSync.
Here are the steps I've taken to solve the problem:
1. I enabled and disabled calendar using the On/Off slider.
2. I removed and reconfigured the Exchange account on the iPhone
3. I confirmed that all calendar items in Exchange had the Message Class set to "IPM.Appointment"
4. I restored the iPhone to factory settings and used a new test Exchange account to confirm that corrupted calendar items were not an issue.
5. Confirmed that the capitalization of my e-mail address in the Exchange Account Info on the iPhone matches the primary SMTP entry in the Exchange GAL.

Guys, I did a bit of research with my other iPhone/Exchange - buddies and this is what we found out:
1. Friend sends me an calendar event from his PC / Exchange Account
2. Calendar event displays as tentative on both my iPhone and on my PC / Exchange Account
3. I accept the calendar event on my PC / Exchange Account
4. Calendar event turns to "busy" on my PC / Exchange Account
5. Calendar event disappears from my iPhone
6. I double-click the event on my PC / Exchange Account and click "Accept" again
7. Calendar event reappears on my iPhone
Funny enough, this does not happen with all events - it seems to depend on the Exchange server and/or Outlook version in use. For those affected: Is your Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, and what version is the Exchange Server of the person who sent you the event in the first place?

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Mac mail and gmail are not syncing

I just bought my very first mac computer, the MacBook Pro. I set up my Mac Mail to my gmail account. My gmail account won't sync up to my macmail though. All the messages are there as well as my contacts and the mac mail receives new emails when I get them, however they are not synced up. For example, when I delete a message in mac mail, it doesn't delete on my gmail account and vice versa. How do I get it so the two are synced?

How do I get these messages out of my inbox?
I am having same issue. This is a new development as I don't recall it doing this before. I was using the delete button in mail and this would archive the message (my desired behavior)...
not sure why there aren't moving out of gmail's inbox...is it possible Google is working on something behind the scenes?
Fixed this one issue (at least for my setup)...
It's a little misleading but it's the advanced imap settings in gmail's settings that was throwing me off...
Under the the "expunge" settings
x Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail "archive" the message and move it to "All Mail"
Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
x Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail remove it from the folder in Mail, but not in Gmail, unless it's a message that is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder, then it goes by the second set of settings (archive, trash, delete immediately) that are only available if "do not automatically expunge messages" is chosen...
