Not syncing mail between iMac, iPhone, iCloud

I'm not syncing mail between devices.
Email sent with iMac doesn't show on iPhone (and vice versa).
No mail sent with either iMac or iPhone is showing on iCloud.
Please help!

AFTER I asked the question, then the answer presented itself in a list of previously asked questions!  (And I had looked before too.)  It involves "Signing Out" of iCloud with the iMac, and with the iPhone.  Then I signed in again. It was scary (took a long time) getting the mail loaded again, but it seems to be working now.

  • Notes does not sync anymore between iMac & iPhone &iPad ?

    Since I upgraded to mountain Lion, as Notes is not anymore within the Mail app it seems that there is no way to sync notes without using iCloud. Is there any solution ?

    Well, I've got the same problem. I'm supposedly using iCloud, and Notes are selected in iCloud pref pane, and in all accounts of "Mail, Contacts & Calenders" pref pane. But still, notes don't sync.
    What gives?

  • IMac not syncing Mail read on iPhone

    I have just started using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. Mail is working perfectly and showing all my imap accounts. However, anything that I've looked at on the phone (even if I've not read it) does not show on my iMac (Yosemite 10.10.1) Mail (8.1). The iPad Mail, which I've been using for years, is continuing to sync fine and doesn't appear to block messages reaching the iMac. Can't find any similar threads online so I'm hoping you can help please...

    I've fixed it! I put the IMAP Path Prefix in the Advanced tab of the Accounts page and it now seems to be working. No idea why this has suddenly become a problem. Other mail accounts I have set up don't have this entered and didn't seem to have a problem. I've unticked the automatically detect and maintain account settings too so that it doesn't get deleted.

  • Mail not syncing - different between Mac, iPhone and Cloud

    Thought I had moved to the Cloud, but having major issues having all of my mail be the same in all 3 places - Macbook, iPhone and Cloud website.  Things I have sent from my Mac do not even show being on there, and certainly not in phone, but are on Cloud. What is the best way to check that I have this set up correctly, so I can have access to mail where ever I go, for you know, work stuff.
    Mac is running Lion 10.7.2, and iPhone is updated to OS5.
    Thanks for the help.

    Unfortunately from one point of view, I have only had one issue with iCloud which related to corrupt iWork documents, so I'm not able to draw on personal experience at solving issues like yours, I'm just drawing on other users experiences here. Out of interest did you create a brand new iCloud account or migrate from a mm account.

  • Syncing mail between iMac G5 and Macbook Pro

    I work at home on a G5 and regularly read and then delete or file my emails. I regularly sync between my G5 and Macbook Pro, which I use when traveling. My syncing routine works fine with the address book, calendar, etc., but when I go my Macbook Pro Mail account after syncing, the inbox is still full of mail that I have already read and filed on the G5. Is the syncing routine designed to replicate the mail accounts or do I need to reread, delete, and file the emails on the Macbook as well.
    PS: I am using email accounts with cox.net, i.e., not mac.com accounts.
    Thanks for any help.

    The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
    For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

  • 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)

  • How do I sync mail from my iphone to my ipad

    How do I sync mail between my iphone and ipad?

    Changing from POP3 to IMAP is a function of your email provider. You need to check with them to see if they even offer IMAP. Some do and some do not. If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC/iPad to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples).
    This may help if you do not want to or can not switch to IMAP...

  • Putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac

    putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac.  It did when I first bought iPhone, how can I sync automatically?

    Could be a bunch of reasons. Do you have icloud setup on both devices? Can you give us more details of your setup? Make sure you have the calendar set to sync in the icloud system settings. Also make sure you are set to sync said calendar. I was checking my settings and realized that you may or may not be using icloud for calendaring. On your phone in settings/mail, contacts, calendars/ you have the ability to select what and which calendars you want to sync. Make sure it is configured appropriately.

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

    When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

    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.

  • How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

    I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
    Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
    I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
    I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
    I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
    This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

  • No Mail. I can not get or send mail from my iPhone,iCloud, or mail  on the desktop. Password is correct i can get into iCloud but not able to get mail.

    I can not get or send mail from my iPhone, iCloud, and desktop mail.  All are the same account, password is right and working. When the problem first happened I updated to a new  password.
    The Mail and the phone are telling me ( "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “k****n******2”}
    From the iCloud account i get a message saying  mail could not be loaded and the details. Which i have copyed below.
    Any thoughts or anyone I can ring ? This was a paid for mobile me account.

    Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password. 
    The impression i got was no one knowns  what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.
