Managing e-mails on multiple devices.

I have a MacBook Pro, an iPad and an iPhone. I spend half my time deleting the same e-mails on two of the devices that I have handled appropriately on the other device (deleted or answered or whatever). Is there any way to set them up so that once I have deleted them on one device, they are deleted on the other?? I have Comcast as my primary account with a couple of secondary accounts.

You would need IMAP access to your email to do what you want to do (sync email when using multiple devices). Comcast does not support IMAP accounts only POP. You could, as a work around, only access your email using their webmail interface from all devices. Then delete the email from webmail, which Comcast provides. The deleted email will not show up when you access webmail from another device. When using webmail your emails are not downloaded to your device but remain on the server so all devices can view the emails until deleted by you.

How do I manage apple id on multiple devices

How do I manage Apple ID on multiple devices. I changed on my iMac but can't change on my iPhone or iPad.

in addition, if you want to change the iCloud (which you probably do), do
settings->iCloud->Delete Account
Then log in with yours. Be sure to note the settings first, because it will forget them.

HT3228 Mail on multiple devices. Need to sync action for messages.

I get mail on multiple devices. I find myself doing everything (delete, move, read ) on each device for each message. I need all to sync. In other words if I delete a message when reading mail on my iPhone, if I then look at mail on my iPad the message should not appear.

Is your email account POP3 or IMAP? If POP3, does your provider
support IMAP? An IMAP account will do what you want, POP3 does
not.
The problem you have and the resolution are a function of the type of
email account you are using and not the device you connect with. Set
your email up as IMAP (if possible) and your problem will go away.
If you are using a POP3 account and cannot set it up as IMAP because
the provider does not offer IMAP, consider setting that account to
automatically forward all email to an IMAP account (Gmail is one, there
are many others) and work from the IMAP account. You should set the
POP3 account to automatically delete the emails after forwarding.

Mail stopped receiving mail on multiple devices??

I can no longer recieve emails on only one email address, that is on multiple devices. This email address has been operating perfectly fine for years. All of a sudden in the middle of the night, on four devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac Air and Power Mac) mail has stopped being downloaded.
Things done and symthoms...
Check all settings on all devices - All Good! No error codes
Remove/Re-install on one of the devices. All emails load back in to about the same point as other devices.
Adjusted SSL settings (which worked perfectly fine).
Turned off WiFi - Using cell coverage
Reset Airport Express
Webmail is working perfectly fine
Other email accounts with same provider (Go Daddy) working perfectly fine.
iMap Settings in place

I'm having the exact same issues. I have about 10 different email addresses. All have worked fine since I bought the Mac Pro. As of yesterday, whenever I log into any WiFi netwrok - and networks that always worked in the past - I can't download emails from one of my addresses. Same is true with the same email accounts on my iPhone.
Interestingly, when I tether my iPhone and use 3G (rather than WiFi) I'm able to send/recieve from this same address on my laptop AND iPhone!!

E-mails on multiple devices

I receive e-mails on both my iPhone and iPad, however I must delete an e-mail on each device. Is there a way to delete an e-mail on one device and it is automatically deleted on the other device? Prior to a recent iPhone update, this worked perfectly, including deleted e-mails not appearing in my Outlook 2007 Inbox.

Managing installed apps for multiple devices

Is there a way to create an "app playlist" in order to easily create a common set of installed apps across multiple devices? I'm tired of having to install the same app on each of my kids devices. Also, I don't want to enable auto install new apps because I don't necessarily want my kids to get apps that I'm installing on my devices.
Thanks

The un-compatible updates will not install on the iPod.
Make sure that you retain a copy of the version that is compatible with iOS 4.2.1 since you can only redownload the latest version version from the App store.
I would backuyp the library to an external HD by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
Note that when you update an app on the iPod and then sync, the update apps is also synced to the iTunes library.

Using mail on multiple devices

Hi, I get mail from two gmail accounts on three devices: iPad, iPhone, desktop. Is there a way to set it up so that when I delete mail from one device it deletes it from all three? I am going nuts with so many messages. Thanks for your help.

Use IMAP mail protocol. Not POP.
IMAP keeps the email on the server, and the mail client just reads it from the server.
POP (especially gmail's POP) downloads the mail to your device, and gmail's POP keeps a copy as well, so that all your devices can download the mail, hence your need to delete from each device because each device has downloaded a copy.

Deleting e-mail on multiple devices

I receive e-mail using the Mail program on my Mac book, iPad, and iPhone. After I read an e-mail and delete it, i have to go to all of my other devices and delete them too. Isn't there an easier way to delete read mail from all devices at once?

I guess I have a question along a similar line....this is what I would like to do.
I have a pop e-mail account........I also have a iMac, iPod Touch, and a iPad......I was hoping to sync e-mail along all devices. That is when I receive a e-mail and reply to it.....it shows that alone all devices....when I delete it.....it deletes it on all devices.....I receive on my iPad.....it shows up on other devices also.
By the sounds of it I need a IMAP account....is that right? Can I change from a POP account to an IMAP or is it up to my provider.
Same thing with my calender.....I make an appointment on my iPad and it adds it to all devices (or is this what mobile me is for?)
Sorry for these newbie questions but I am new to the Apple world.
Thanks for your time in reading this and for any and all replies!!

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

Sync Mail between multiple devices

Can anyone help? I own a MacBook Pro, an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad. I have managed to sync mail between the iPhone and the iPad using Microsoft exchange, so that if I delete an e-mail on the phone or the iPad then it is deleted on the other.
However I can't sync the two computers in the same way, can anyone help and tell me how to sync Mail across all 4 units?
(I used Exchange because the e-mail account is a Hotmail account and I was told, that's the only way I can do it).
Regards and thanks in advance.
Colin

Microsoft publish the settings needed for Hotmail Imap, they work, use them.
They are:
For incoming connections:
Server address: "imap-mail.outlook.com"
Server port: "993"
Encryption type: "SSL"
For outgoing connections:
Server address: "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
Server port: "587"
Encryption type: "TLS" ("SSL" can be used if TLS is not an option)
