Need a strategy for managing email on multiple devices

I have multiple email addresses and multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro). I currently have all mail pushed to all devices. The problem I have is managing messages from one device to another.
I would like to be able to delete a message on one device and have it deleted across all devices. I am thinking the only way this is possible is by stopping the push of messages to my devices and reading email only via iCloud. Or, is there another way?
Suggestions?

If you want to keep the same addresses, you will need to contact the providers for each and see if they offer an IMAP service.
It's a fairly simply concept, IMAP accounts do exactly what you want, POP accounts don't. Whether or not all your providers offer an IMAP account is another matter.

Strategy for managing data over multiple drives

I have been looking at extending my hard drives and considering the very same options as The Hatter suggested in recent posts - ie Raptor vs Caviar SE16 2*750 vs Caviar RAID 2*750 .
I received a deal on the initial HDD set with my MacPro , so i currently have 2* 250 HDD’s and i have just started to move my itunes and iphoto files plus other media files ( incl photoshop data, movies, documents, etc) onto the separate drive, to see what performance benefits i will get. This is hopefully as a prelude to going to a more ruthless split of files along the lines of a formal strategy - hence my question on what strategy i should have ?
My dilemma is trying to find a clear explanation of where to start looking for the practical way to actually set up the OSX and apps on one boot disc/partition and the media/documents on another drive(s); and what to do with the other stuff that doesn't actually fit into either category - user/home/library/application support folders, presets and other application support files.
I have read posts with people saying not to move user and application support data/library files from the boot drive - in which case there is a lot of file data still likely to reside in the boot drive even after removing documents, and all media files ?
I am paranoid about not having a clear idea of the right strategy before starting the whole process
its more a strategy question than hardware, but i have not been able to really get this answered from the posts that i have searched.

I personally wouldn't bother about going with Raptors. They are disproportionally expensive and do not perform any better than much larger drives in the 750GB/1TB sizes. With these large drives I cannot see any compelling reason to go with a Raptor. Compared to 500GB and smaller drives sure… but not with larger drives.
So presuming you're going with 2 x Western Digital RE2 750GB drives then you need to decide if you're using RAID or not. If you are then you'll have a 1.5TB volume to use which require no further effort.

Email on multiple devices need to use email app?

Hi
I've read old posts that suggest there is no solution to the issue of having to manage emails on each device - computer, iPhone, iPad. That is that you have to delete on all individually. This makes email pretty unusable! Is their an email app that can be used to solve this problem. I looked at a few but couldn't work out how to connect Verizon email to them
Any help.suggestions appreciated.

I also am fighting this battle between 2 IPads, iPhone and Mac computer. Any response on how to delete on one device and have it remove from all would be greatly appreciated.

Node strategy for managing many data points

Earlier with the older JavaFX there were issues where rendering many nodes could really slow the scenegraph down. Is there now some strategy for how to let the scenegraph efficiently render only the nodes for data that actually intersects the visible screen?
In the scenario I'm thinking of nodes decorate data and are more of a temporary thing, so they need to be reusable or else created and disposed of quickly when visualizing the data points.

[url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_surface_determination]A variety of strategies have been in existence for a while now, JavaFX just hasn't gotten all of them implemented yet. It looks like JavaFX already uses dirty rectangles. I don't know if or how much culling has been implemented, but I'm sure it will be there sooner or later.

Need design hints for Managed class

I need help understanding the underlying LCDS mechanisms when a complex object hierarchy is managed in LCDS. I have a custom Assembler because I have specialized persistence requirements. My object hierarchy is basically the following:
Document
    Chapter
        Page
            Text
Document is the [Managed] class. When a new Document is created, it is initialized with a Chapter. Pages and Text are created when the document is edited. I create new instance of Document and initialize it with an instance of Chapter. On the client, I invoke the DataService using the createItem method. My custom Assembler is called, I do the necessary persistence operation and return. Back on the client I receive the ItemReference containing the AS Document. This all works ok. I am now faced with the runtime operations when the user starts creating Chapters, Pages and entering text.
Given that I start the editing session with a single ItemReference, I don't understand how to handle the Document sub-tree. The LCDS documentation says the purpose of the [Managed] class tag is so the entire object tree does not need to be transmitted when a property changes on a child object. Its the responsibility of the sub class to keep the remote object in sync. But, I don't know the best way to go about doing this.
The [Managed] annotation makes the properties of the managed class bindable. I can add an event listener to the ItemReference to handle property changes on the Document, but what about the rest of the object tree?    Do I explicitly make the properties of the child objects bindable? Do I make each parent object an event listener for its child object properties and propagate the event up the tree?
Any suggestions or patterns to make this a little more understandable would be greatly appreciated.

If Hibernate cannot read/write your persistence layer (i.e. its not a database) then you probably wont be able to deploy a model and have the server side 'just work'. You can specify the assembler class in the model annotations and we will configure a destination of that type for each entity (you can specify a custom assembler for each different entity). This may not be a road that you want to go down, as manually configuring each assembler for each association will give you more transparency and control.
But you can still use the model in FlashBuilder to generate all of your client side value objects and you may be able to use the generated service wrappers.
Note that for each association, you will need an assembler. So there is the Document assembler, the Chapter assembler and the Page assembler. Each one is responsible for managing the persistence of each item type. You would then define the <one-to-many> relationships in the destination config, along with the destination that manages that type of item:
<destination id="DocumentAssembler">
<metadata>
    <identity property="id">
    <one-to-many property="chapters" destination="ChapterAssembler" lazy="true" paged="true" page-size="10" />
</metadata>
</destination>
<destination id="ChapterAssembler">
<metadata>
    <identity property="id">
    <one-to-many property="pages" destination="PageAssembler" lazy="true" paged="true" page-size="10" />
</metadata>
</destination>
And so on for PageAssembler. This is how the system can manage each item class. I made the associations lazy and paged, but you don't have to do this if you don't need it.
On the client, each of the managed collections (Documents, Chapters, Pages) is monitored for changes and the appropriate create/update/delete in the assembler is performed when a commit() is called. You perform a DataService.fill() on the "DocumentAssembler" destination to start things off, you get back a managed collection and just go to town, modifying the whole object tree as you see fit, then calling DataService.commit() on the Document, and all of the nested 'stuff' that you did will be persisted to each assembler for each type of collection (documents, chapters, pages). It is pretty powerfull.
To help reduce the work, you can use a model to generate code, then never generate it again. Or just define the AS value objects manually, using the generated code as a guide. The trick is to make sure the collection properties like "chapters" and "pages" are labeled with the [Managed] metadata.
There are plenty of 2 level association examples on the DevCenter and out in the web (check out Tour De LiveCycle for instance). You are just going down one more level.
All this being said, you can skip most of this and just have a single destination that does Documents and takes a full object graph of stuff each time. This will be pretty 'blunt force' as the whole Document will be handed to the updateItem function and you have to figure out how to persist it and all its sub-properties. I am not familiar with Jackrabbit, so I don't know how fine grained your persistence is.
Anyway, let us know what you come up with!

For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps... I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
Thank you for your help!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

HT1495 Multiple logons for one computer and multiple devices trying to use one itunes account.

I have one computer with a logon for Kids and one for Adults. There is a touch and nano that was added to a single itunes account tied to my email on the adult logon and the shuffle that is on the kids account. I can't seem to get the multiple devices access to all the songs with out erase and re-sync error message when not using the right device on the assigned logon to the computer - why and can we change this?

It sounds like each Windows user has it's own iTunesLibrary.itl file. If that is the case, then you are correct, the correct device must be connected when logged in with the correct login.
If all Windows logins share an iTunesLibrary.itl file... then it does not matter which login is used or which device is connected.

Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

How do I sync my email on multiple devices?

I read my email from several devices: my home computer, work computer, phone and ipad. If I read it on one device and delete it, is not deleted when I read it from the other devices. Is there a way to sync them so I can read, delete, save, file one time and not have to do it multiple times, depensing on what device I am using to read the email?

Closes is to have all your devices leave the email on the server rather then pull it all, but then you have to monitor space to make sure its not all lost. Perhaps have a email client on your main PC pull all copies but leave them for say 30 days before deleting. You would also have to cc yourself on sent mail.

HT3228 I don't see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone4, is there a way to keep it from the server so that I can check emails from multiple devices?.

I'm using IPhone 4 to check emails. Is there a way on the IPhone to setup that the messages would still be on the server so that when I check on my laptops the messages are still there. I can do this setup for multiple laptops but don't know how I can do it for the IPhone.
I got help and setup all the things they told me but the problem is that I did not see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone 4 to select. Is there anything else that I am missing? Thanks

The default for IMAP is that it does NOT delete the email from the server when it pushes the email to a device. Only if you tell a device to tell the server to delete the email, will it actually delete from the server.

How can I eliminate email on multiple devices?

I have four different email accounts. I have three devices, a Macbook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad. How can I coordinate the devices so that all email goes to my computer, but only messages that have not downloaded to the computer go to the other devices? I end up deleting the same emails from multiple locations, which just takes too much time.
Thanks

My mail account on my iPhone is configured as a POP account. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This same mail account is configured as POP account on my iPad. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This account on my MBP is set as POP, and again, remove from server is disabled.
Every email appears in every location. As an example, I had not turned on my iPad for two days, until I checked the settings of the email account. It immediately downloaded 99 messages. I have seen these messages on both my computer and iPhone already, and have deleted them from iPhone. I would have preferred that they never appeared on the iPad.
Is this possible?

Email on multiple devices

I access my verizon.net email from more than one computer, an ipad and droid razr. I would like when I delete the email from one device it is delted everywhere and not have to delted the same email on every deivice.
Also, I would like to see my folders on my verizon email on my ipad and phone, I'd like it to work like my gmail accounts.
Is this because verizon is pop3 email only, not imap?
I tried a chat session with a support tech here and was told to contact apple.
thanks for the help in advance.

Yes. The functionality you are looking for requires IMAP, which Verizon does not offer. They have stated that it is Not Likely they will implement IMAP in the future.
