My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

HT201365 I have 2 email accounts in my phone. After upgrading when I open email, both accounts are combined under "All Inboxes".How can I seperate them like they were before the upgrade.

I have 2 email accounts in my phone. A gmail acct and an Outlook acct. After upgrading to 7 there is only 1 inbox and it is titled "All Inboxes". This has combined both email accts into one list. How do I seperate the inboxes and be able to open each account seperate?

In Mail app, on the upper left side you will see <Mailboxes Click on that and you can select individual email acounts or choose to have them all in one.

Mail App 4.3 crashes when selecting individual email for reading

Does anyone have experience with this problem? Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi Ernie,
I've gone thru my applications and do not see anything that appears to be an enhancement app. I previously had Missing Synch installed (since removed). As far as plugins, I do not think I have any but do not know how to confirm that. I've looked thru Mail.app's menus and preferences, and do not see any indication of any being installed.
I don't know if I it has any bearing but under System Preferences/Other, I do have MacFuse installed.
Thanks again for the help,
Greg

In ical why does my wife get an email everytime I update our home calendar but when she makes changes I don't?

I have shared a calendar with my wife aptely called "Home" to which every time I update or rearrange something she gets an email, I understand that this is quite useful for informing her of any changes but when she makes changes I receive no notifications/email. The problem I/she has is that when updating especially on the mac I change alot of things very quickly and she ends up with a flooded inbox informing her of small changes such as I've changed the time by half an hour or maybe a spelling has changed, does anybody out there know how to turn off the emails, we both regulary check the notifications bar on our ios devices and can see whats planned for the day etc so why burden the servers in the sky sending one way emails?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated guys

OK, I don't have the exact same problem, but here are a few things you could try.
1. Go to www.icloud.com and login. Select your calendar from the icons and you will then see the cogwheel in the top right corner. Click on it and enter your settings. Under ADVANCED, there is a tick box saying "Send me a copy of event invitations and updates"
2. On the shared calendar on the left hand side of the calendar you are in, it should show a list of your calendars. The shared ones are green whilst the others are just white/transparent - Click on the green one of the calendar that is being shared (The clarify, this needs to be done within your wifes icloud, not yours and she needs to click your "Home" calendar green bit). This opens up the Tick box "Email me when this calendar changes" - deselect this.
Good luck.
For what its worth, here is my problem. I keep getting invitations for all my girlfriends new appointments. They are coming up in the same invitations box that you get notified in when someone invites you to a lunch where you select reject, accept etc. But these just have an OK select button. I can't seem to find anything that rectifys this, and it has only happened since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, but my girlfriend has not.
There is nothing on the web to describe this problem so far and I have gone through every setting trying to rectify it. If anyone can help on this one, that'd be great.

Any ideas would be appreciated..

The phone is useless to you without the previous owners information. Either get a hold of the owner and get the info or return the phone and get your money back.

TS3899 iPhone 5s Mail app shut down automatically when try to send email

I just set up new iPhone 5s two days ago from iPhone 5.
Everything works fine except Mail app.
Due to Mail app, I had to set up new configuation instead of back up from old iPhone 5.
Mail app works fine 1 day, but after the day after, the mail app shut down automatically when try to send email.
Just one specific email account has problem. It worked fine on iPhone 5. Same setting on Pop and SMTP. Exactly same~~
- I did try to reset iPhone 5s pressing home button and sleep button for 10 second. It did not work
- I did try to reset all information and install iPhone 5s and the problem still exists.
- I did try to delete specific email account and re-make it, but it did not work
Funny thing is that if Lanuague is English, then sending email is working. Absolutely no problem.
However, if Language setting is Korean, then Mail App shut down automatically.
I'm heavy email maker and if it is very annoying.
Does anyone have same issue like this?
I believed it is iOS7 bug?
Can anyone help me on this???

Am having similar problems with a new iPad Air. It will recieve email in Mail as directd from my domain email account. It will not send, advising server does not recognise account. I have checked and re checked settings.
My computer and old iPad work perfectly. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
By the way sending email directly from the domain email account works perfectly but I prefer using Mail.

Mail is killing the processes on my server with IMAP

Why is mail over running my server with IMAP processes?
I've had to start killing the process like crazy cause it was causing other services on my website to fail.
i contact support for Hostgator and they asked if i was using Mac Mail. i said yes, and he said, yeah mac mail does that. what's that suppose to mean?
it really hasn't happened in the past, why now?

I have found a temporary fix, until Apple addresses the issue.
For those with access to the cPanel for their hosting account, you will need to create a Cron Job. At blueHOST.com I have access to this feature. I created a cron job via the cPanel to run every two minutes (because I have so many users running mail at the same time.) And the command is "killall imap" (without the quotes). This will do as advertised, kill all imap processes, old and new, every two minutes. You can set the amount of minutes to anything you want.
I can thank a senior tech at blueHOST for the idea. It may be strong-arming the situation, but it gives my client back their blog.
In my first post here, I said I sent this to MacFixIt. They never published or followed up on the eMail I sent. But I've also formally sent this as an issue via Apple Support. With any luck it will be fixed with the 10.5.7 update when it comes out.
If you have not made a formal report to Apple I strongly suggest you go to the Mac OS X Feedback page & file a detailed report of the issue you are having with IMAP processes & Mail.app. Reporting in the support forums may not be enough to get the full attention of Apple.
I will also post this on my blog.

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

You remove them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder in your OS's file manager, exit TB, delete (or move to another location) abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses). When you restart TB, you should have empty PAB and CA address books.

I am wondering if it will be a good move to install fusion 5 on my iMac. I am wondering since I did the split to run windows 7 if this means that I will have to erase all and start from the beginning

I am wondering if it will be a good move to install fusion 5 on my iMac. I am wondering since I did the split to run windows 7 if this means that I will have to erase all and start from the beginning

From what you say, I understand that you already installed Windows 7 on a second volume. Is this correct?
In that case, it doesn't make sense to use VMware Fusion unless you want to run Windows and OS X at the same time. If you do that, you will keep all your data.
If you haven't installed Windows 7 and you want to install it in VMware Fusion, you will be installing it in a virtual machine, so you won't lose anything.
I recommend you to have a look at VirtualBox first > http://www.virtualbox.org It's free and it's sufficient for most of users

My iPad shows I have apps to update but when I go to the App Store and the update tab there is nothing there

My iPad II show I have apps to update but when I go to the App Store and the update tab it is blank and doesn't allow me to update anything

You can either wait it out or a work around has been found. In the app store click on the purchased tab. Your apps should come up and you can manually download each app (the apps that have updates will have banners on them)

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. what do i need to do?

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanks

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.
