Mail - syncing mail

I had some trouble syncing mail and now want to copy messages directly from mail on one computer to another computer, manually.
How to do so?  Once I put the messages in a temp folder on destination computer, can I just drop the messages where they belong, in the correct inbox our outbox?
Thanks,
Inoshi

No, this did not work.  I was able copy from and to V2 mail mbox subfolders, then rebuild mailboxes and reindex to see these messages.  However it took a lot of poking around because I do not understand the file strcuture for the messages in V2 Mail.
Can somebody point me to a document explaining the directory logic in mail, then I can complete the job.
Thanks,
Inoshi

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

  • Syncing Mail Notifications Between Mac and iPhone

    Hi
    I been having this problem with the mail notifications not syncing between the Mail.app on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Let me explain:
    When I get a new email, I hear the sound and see the red notification icon appear on both the MacBook and the iphone. When it comes to checking the new email, here are the two possible scenarios:
    a) If I check the new email on my phone, the red notification icon disappears from BOTH the iphone and the MacBook.
    b) If I check the new email on my MacBook, the red notification disappears from the MacBook but DOESN'T disappears from the iPhone (that is until I open the app). This happens with both cases, when the app is "running" in the background or when it is complety closed.
    I don't know if I am crazy but I am pretty sure that both of the notifications used to disappear before, no matter where I checked the mail.
    I tried deleting and creating the email again on my phone, and it didn't work.
    Here some info that could help find a solution:
    - I'm using icloud email (@me.com)
    MacBook
    -Mountain Lion
    iPhone:
    - iOS 6 (this problem started before the upgrade)
    - Push is on.
    - Fetch (that suppodselly would be used only if push is off) is set to Manually.
    - On the "Advanced" sub-menu inside the Mail settings, Push is also selected.
    Hopefully this can actually be fix and I can prove myself that I was not crazy!!
    Thanks in advance for the help!!

    Anyone find a fix for this problem? I've been waiting for this since notification syncing was announced a couple years ago with iOS 6. I use iCloud for my email and find it very frustrating that when I read an email on my Mac or on iCoud.com that it doesn't automatically dismiss the notifications for those emails on my iOS devices until I open the mail app on each iOS device. Notification syncing works great with other apps. With iMessages, for example, when I read a message on my Mac running Yosemite, the notifications disappear on my iOS devices without opening the messages app (badge app icon, home screen notifications and notification center). Why can't they figure this out with email? I remember at my old job, I had an exchange account that properly synced mail notifications between devices, but it has never worked with my iCloud email. I wonder if I am just missing a particular setting or if Apple just blew it here. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I delete e-mails from one IPad without removing them from other IPads on same icloud? I'ved tried switching off mail sync on all devices but this only works when deleting on IPhone

    We have several portable devices and a mini mac on our system and have found that if we delete an email on one device it is removed from others.
    We don't want this, but at the same time we need to keep our devices clear of clutter.
    It was suggested that switch off the sync mail switch in settings - Icloud, but this only works on IPads & Ipods
    anybody got any better ideas ??

  • Can't get past Syncing mail accounts

    Hello,
    As it says in the subject line, my iPhone won't get past Syncing mail accounts. If I deselect the mail account in iTunes then it syncs. I have looked this up and it seems that most people are pointing to a dialogue box that is hidden behind iTunes that needs clicking on but there isn't one with me.
    I think that the reason behind the weirdness is that I have just swapped over the hard drive in my computer. I made a clone of my old one using Disk Utility then swapped it over. It synced once without a problem but since then it gets stuck on syncing the mail accounts. This is not the first time I have swapped a hard drive but it's the first time something is misbehaving because of it.
    Also, my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive (this is the reason for swapping the internal drive - to get more space) and so was not located on my internal anyway. Having said that, the iPhone apps are located on the internal (there doesn't seem to be a way to change that option) and there was some weirdness with an app that wouldn't sync but I have since deleted.
    Sorry for the rambling - any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    All the best.

    I think I get it.
    Since my mail accounts were set up fine, there's no need to continue syncing them with iTunes, unless I change mail settings.
    I haven't changed, so I should be fine unchecking "Sync selected Mail accounts".
    If I do change my mail settings in the future, I can do this independently on the iPhone.
    I'm still not sure why this turns into an endless sync - but I can live without re-syncing and "do it myself".
    Did I get that right?
    Thanks, Damon!

    Cached exchange mode was already marked so that was not the issue.
    I have done all the usual of creating a new profile, reinstalling Outlook etc but nothing seemed to work. I also tried going back to Outlook 2007 and reinstalling Windows but same problem.
    However, I am not sure if it is connected but I was useing the option in MS Live Sync to synchronise Office settings which I turned off recently and now no longer have the issue. Unfortunately I cannot remember when in the process I did this so cannot be
    sure it was responsible - anyone else found this?

  • Error while syncing mail accounts

    iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "..." because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Try syncing your iPhone again.If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPhone from the info tab in the iPhone preferences.
    The message above is an error message received several times. I have tried to work out how to replace the mail accounts through iTunes. Have been clicking it on and off and re-syncing. Still gives the error message. Can anyone help me resolve this?? tks

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

  • Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud sync (Mails are not marked as read when I read them on my MacBook)

    Hello everyone,
    I am an iOS 5 and OS X Lion User in Germany and I have following question concering Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud.
    I have a MacBook Pro 13" with OS X Lion 10.7.2 and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I also have an iCloud account (I switched yesterday from MobileMe).
    When I receive a new e-Mail it will be pushed immediately to my iPhone an my MacBook. When I open this new e-mail on my iPhone, it is immediately marked as read on my MacBook. But when I open the new e-mail on my MacBook, it is not marked as read on my iPhone. I have manually to sync mail first.
    Does anyone know if this feature is not supported on iCloud and iOS 5? Thanks for your help!

    Add me to the list of people having this problem.
    I have 1 Gmail account a 2 Google Apps accounts and this happens with all 3. If I read a messaging in Mail.app, it DOES get marked read on my iPod Touch, though.
    If I read the emails on my iPod Touch, BlackBerry, or Gmail web interface, the read status does not get synced back to Mail.app unless I close and re-open it.
    Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a Gmail issue, but it's VERY annoying and somewhat defeats the purpose of using IMAP.

  • How do I sync mail accounts if I didn't choose that option during setup?

    Is there some way to retroactively choose to sync mail accounts with iTunes after the phone has already been setup (and I chose not to do it at setup)? I looked around in iTunes and couldn't find a setting.
    I'm having problems setting up one of my IMAP accounts on the phone and think it might be easier to just sync it with Mail.app.

    After plugging in your iPhone, from the iPhone summary screen, click the info tab. From there you can scroll any or all of your email accounts.

  • Sync Mail to iPhone functionality hanging in iTunes

    I am running OS 10.4.10, iTunes 7.4.2 (4), and I was having this problem both before and after updating to 1.1.1 on my iPhone.
    Basically, I have several accounts configured in my mail client in the MacOS, but my .mac account is the only one I access and use on my iPhone. It was working great, and frankly, still does. However, if I have 'Sync selected mail accounts' checked in the Info tab when my iPhone is connected, the syncing process freezes during the 'syncing mail accounts'. I actually walked away, and found it sitting two hours later at the same prompt. When I uncheck it, everythin else syncs perfectly, no issues, and frankly, even when it's not syncing through iTunes, it works fine on wifi and edge, so I am using my phone.
    I don't know what functionality I'm losing when I don't sync this email account through iTunes, but whatever it is, I'm not seeing it.
    Any ideas as to what this sync does (I did have to type in my mail password on my phone after my last reset), and any ideas on how to fix it? The problem started a few weeks ago under 1.0.2 and I seem to be running good with the function disabled, but I have a feeling when I add more mail accounts (which I intend to do) it may be helpful to have it working.
    Thanks,
    -Dan

    The option to sync selected Mail accounts transfers email account settings from the Mail application on your Mac (for the selected account or accounts) to the iPhone so you don't need to set up the account or accounts on the iPhone. This process is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone. Any changes made to an account's settings on the iPhone is not transferred to the Mail application during the next sync.
    So after this is successfully done, you can deselect the option unless you make a change to an account's settings with the Mail application that you want transferred to the account's settings on the iPhone.
    This doesn't resolve the problem which should work regardless.
    Try selecting "Mail Accounts" below "Replace information on this iPhone" under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences to see if this makes any difference with the next sync process after this is performed.

  • 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.

  • How do I sync Mail with Outlook and Gmail in browser?

    I really like the Mail app in OS X, but I've noticed that it's not synced with the browser version of my email accounts, so anything I do in Mail (e.g. read an email, delete/trash it, etc) is only reflected within the app and not in my browser.
    Just in case I didn't explain that properly: For example, if I read an email in Mail, and then switch to my Outlook account in Safari to check if that email has been marked as read, it would still appear as unread. If I delete and trash and email in Mac, that same email appears exactly where it used to be in Outlook, completely untouched.
    This bothers me for two reasons. One, even if I were to stick with Mail and not touch my Outlook/Gmail accounts in Safari again, I still wouldn't like the idea of my inbox being all messy if I were ever to log back in. Two, Mail doesn't seem to have any options to create folders and subfolders as far as I'm aware, so my emails which are very neatly organized in Outlook are all lumped together in Mail's inbox. So even though Mail is a neat little app, I still have Outlook and Gmail bookmarked.
    I'd like to know if there's a way to sync Mail with my email accounts in-browser, so that any changes I make in the app also show up when I log into my actual accounts? Maybe I'm just missing something or if this is not possible at all, please let me know. Thank you!

    You have to set those accounts up as IMAP. Right now you probably have them set up as POP3 accounts.
    Pop3 account are one way. You download your mail to your computer and send mail from your computer and it all stays on that particular computer. Imap stores everything on the mail providers server. Incoming and outgoing mail is always on the imap server and can be gotten on multiple devices. All sent mail is store on the server also and can be viewed from multiple devices.
    With outlook that might not be possible. Not sure if individual outlook accounts can use imap. I do know that the office365 side can as that is what my company uses and some people are using macs and other email program other then ms outlook.

    I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.

    I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
    Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.
