Mail not syncing as read across all devices - started 2 or 3 days ago

Hi all. I have had MM and iCloud for a long time and Mail has worked fine across all my devices. In the last 2 or 3 days it has stopped indicating when an email has been read and in some cases when an emai has been deleted. After looking into it dseeper, it seems to mainly be effecting my desktop Mac which is older (last of the Power PC towers running 10.5.8). I know, it's old, but it works fine for my desktop needs and up until now has not had any email issues. Anyone know of anything that might have triggered this problem?

Ok, ignore this question. A hard reboot fixed it. Too many long nights lately.

ICloud Mail not syncing as "read" across all devices

If I read an email on my Mac, it does not mark as read on my iPhone and i still see the new mail notification on the lock screen and there is a new mail mark on the mail app icon when i unlock the iPhone until I open up mail app and it checks manually.
When I used the Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App with Gmail account it works perfectly and when i read my mail it sync immediately on all devices and the new mail notification disappear immediately after reading the mail on the other device.
Is there any way that iCloud mail can update reading mail Immediately like Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App?

Unfortunately, iCloud only pushes new mail. In iOS, it has never pushed the updated status of mail read, moved or flagged on other devices. http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203545
You could try switching your iCloud mail to fetch instead of push. I've never tried this, but maybe it will fetch the read status, as per the fetch schedule.

Why does my mail not sync as read across devices ios7 and mavericks

When I read an email on one device why does it not show as read on my other devices. I end up having to go through my mail three times. Is their an option I haven't clicked or is my mail not set up right.
I have various accounts running in my mac mail two gmail, two outlook.
If any one can help would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Your email accounts have to use the imap protocol in order to sync across devices.Are all your email accounts on all devices configured to use the imap protocol?

Mail not showing as read across devices

I have my macbook, iphone, and (new) imac all setup as icloud accounts for email. All email is coming through just fine on each device. However on the new imac messages which have been "read" on the iphone or on the macbook are still showing up as unread in mail on the imac. Any clues?

I'm have the same problem with an iCloud @me.com email address across my iphone, new iPad, and MacBook Pro. Everything is running the lastest and greatest software/OS updates.

Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

Installed mavericks a few weeks ago. Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices. What is going on? I used to sync manually using iTunes. Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts. I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important. spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi. Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work?? Help!

Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone,
Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon. Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices. I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address." Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card.
Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated. Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks? I would gladly pay for it!

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

ICloud not syncing across all devices

I have a macbook pro, iphone 4, and iMac. Both computers are running Lion and my iphone 4 is up to date.
I believe I set up iCloud correctly on all three devices. However, only the iMac and the iPhone seem to be syncing properly. For some reason, mail sent from me.com via my macbook pro doesn't show up in my other devices. Also, iCal entries made on my macbook pro are also not showing up.
Is there a quick fix? Some kind of setting somewhere that I need to change? All help appreciated.

mail.
Try turning mail and notes syncing off and on again on the MacBook.
calendars.
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.

ICloud mail not syncing across my devices

I have my mail set up on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPhone with my iCloud account. When I delete a message or move it to a folder it doesn't sync this across my devices unless I use iCloud logged onto the web. This means that I have to keep repeating my actions and sometimes the mail reappears after I've deleted it. How can it sync across all devices like MobileMe used to, as it's really inconvenient.
I use the Lion OS.

Not sure where you are looking to see the 0 bytes available part.
However, signing out of iCloud and back in again will trigger the push from iCloud to the device or computer you are signing out of and back in to.
To ensure that your data is stored in iCloud, go to iCloud.com and check your Calendar to make sure it has the latest data that you want pushed to your devices and to your Mac.
If everything is in iCloud, then it will push back to your device or computer when you sign back on.
Cheers,

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

My photo stream-need to sync across all devices, that's the purpose right?

We have iPhone 5Cs, an iPad, and a computer that runs windows 7. We used to be able to use the My Photo Stream across devices just fine. When I took a picture on my iPhone it would automatically sync to My Photo Stream on my computer. When we took pictures on our iPad same thing, when my son takes pictures on his iPhone it would also sync seamlessly to My Photo Stream on our computer. It is enabled, but when I click on the icon in My Favorites it says it's not enabled and to open iCloud, I do but then it is clearly clicked on to enable. I have signed out of all iCloud accounts and signed back in to no avail. I pay for extra storage on iCloud because the hope was I would be able to sync pictures across all devices, 2 iPhones, iPad, computer, and iCloud. But this isn't happening. I want to be able to take a picture with my phone and (when connected to Wi-Fi) be able to have that sync to my computer and the iCloud especially. What is wrong?

In fact when I uninstalled iCloud and reinstalled it, I thought it had fixed itself, because it did revert back to the default location and the My Photo Stream was showing up, oddly enough when I took a picture on the phone and went back into the My Photo Stream it would come up with the error message that "iCloud Photos is not enabled" which it clearly was before I took the picture. It had My Photo Stream with no photos in it. Am I missing a setting?

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.
Regards
Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Apple Mail Not Syncing

I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer. This just started happening, was working fine up to this point. We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server. I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client. This is the error I'm getting. I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help. Mail still not syncing. When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources" I do not see anything that is called MailSync. I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013. I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working. I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working. My issue started late March 2013. I don't know what else to try.

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?
