Sync Mail to .Mac

I recently transfered all my emails from Entourage to Mac Mail. Everything transfered beautifully. I had set up a tree of folders of all emails grouped in to specific topics in Entourage and they imported to mac mail in the same format. These emails are now listed under a folder called Import which is fine. however, this Import folder will not sync with my .Mac account. .Mac only shows the basic folders such as Inbox, Sent etc. Does anyone know how to get this Import folder to show up in my .Mac account online?

There should be another top-level .Mac folder, not lister under Inbox. Have a look at this example I found on the web:

The very last folder is the .Mac folder I am referring to. Here, it is apparently actually called ".Mac", not "[email protected]".

TS4002 sync mail between mac and iPhone

how sync mail between mac book and iphone

usually it an effortless process, you just need to set up your accounts on both. Exchange and imap will do the work for you, pop account may require some additional settings changes on mac. Setting that are necessary to change with pop account can be found here.

Sync Mail with .Mac

Hello,
I've had my Macbook less than a week. I've been searching the Discussions boards and google about syncing my iMail with .Mac.
I read this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=720270&#720270
And so I created folders in .Mac and then I created these same folders in iMail. What I wanted to happen is when I open mail via .MAC I would leave it there. So when I got home and opened iMail the same emails would be there, then the rules that apply to the "on the mac" folders would kick in and file themselves in the appropriate folders but that is not happening.
I.E. I'm forwarding my Yahoo mail to .Mac address. When I open iMail (using my .Mac account ALIAS) I was hoping iMail rules will see these messages and apply rules.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this to work.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Z'Dane.
First of all, there is no such thing as ‘iMail’ in Mac OS X. I assume you’re talking about Apple Mail (i.e. the Mail application located in the /Applications/ folder).
And so I created folders in .Mac and then I created these same folders in iMail.
This is wrong. You can create the folders either on the web or using Mail, but if these are meant to be the same folders, you shouldn’t create them both ways.
then the rules that apply to the "on the mac" folders would kick in and
file themselves in the appropriate folders but that is not happening.
I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, but the problem could be that rules in Mail are automatically applied to incoming messages only, not to messages that have already been read, for example.
You can, however, select the messages in Mail and manually apply your rules to them doing Message > Apply Rules.

Syncing Mail on Mac to Mail on iTouch

I can get my account to sync, but how do I get all my different folders to sync from my computer to my iTouch? And is there a way to sync my computer and iTouch so that when I delete a message from one place, it will be deleted from the other the next time I sync?

Syncing Mail only syncs settings. Messages, folders, etc. are not synced. So, it isn't going to do what you want. If you want to do something like this, you should look at Mobile Me or just use GMail.

Synced mail between Macs ...... Once and for all help me understand.

Hi guys,
Ok, I've been a Mac user for over 8 years but I have to admit I've never really understood how to best organise my Mac Mail.
I have a Mac Mini and a Macbook Air and I choose to keep all mail in folders "on my mac". Both the Mini and the Air have matching folders.
I don't tend to store mail in folders in ".Mac"... or .Me (online) as I prefer it stored on my hard drive.
Problem here is that when I store an email in a folder on say the Mini... it obviously doesn't apperar in the matching folder on the Air. They are not synced as they are store on their individual hard drives.
My question...... is there a way to sync these two computers and their mail folders? ... or is the only way to save everything to .Mac on both computers and not "on my mac"?
Isn't there a risk that .Mac could loose all my mail?

I have Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. I keep all mail on both machines by:
1. Mac Pro set to leave mail on server for 7 days. MBP set to never delete from server. That means all mail is always downloaded to both machines. You may prefer/need longer or shorter. Having the MBP set to never delete means that if I am away from base, the Mac Pro will still always get all mail.
2. Out going Mail set on both machines to bcc myself. This means all sent mail gets to both machines whichever machine it was sent from.
3. Mail rules on each machine put any incoming mail from myself into sent folder. This means all mail I send ends up in the sent folders whichever machine it was sent from.
Seems to work fairly well. Maintenance has to done on each machine separately, and you have two copies of sent mail on the machine it was sent from.

Is there any way of syncing mail on mac with mail on iphone so if you open an email on one it is marked as read on the other?

The title speaks for itself. It's very anoying opening a message on the iphone and when you get to the mac all the messages you read allready on the iphone are not opened yet. Is there any way of syncing them so if you open a mail in iphone its marked 'read' in mac?
Thanks in advance

Such behavior requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Sounds like you have a POP account & that's the way that POP accounts work. POP was designed for an age when users had only one device...a computer, thus POP doesn't play well in the modern world where users have multiple devices.

Syncing Mail between Mac Book and iPad

Not possible to sync both inboxes. E-mails open on one device do not appear as such on the other. Appropriate buttons in the i-cloud preference menu are "ON", but no impact on mail. Calendar and contacts syn ok, notes do not.
Tip? Solution? Thanks

POP will download it to your computer and typically removes it from the server after download.
IMAP pulls from the cloud and by putting both Macs on IMAP they will all stay in sync.
The Mail application can handle any number of POP and IMAP accounts as you'd like. Obviously, you cannot have one account as both POP and IMAP at the same time on the same Mac.

Syncing mail between macs does not work (go daddy account)

I upgraded to Lion on both - my Mac Pro and Macbookpro. I have a go daddy mail account that I switched recently from pop to - imap. I had already problems when I set it up the port numbers that godaddy provided - mail did not work at all (receiving or sending). I am using now "default port" no SSL for outgoing server and in advanced 143, no SSL. I am able to send and receive emails but since I upgraded to Lion syncing does not work well. For example I delete an email on the macpro and it still shows up on the laptop. I read in the forum and changed settings ( like uncheck "move/store deleted messages", changed ports back and forth) still not working. Am also using an ipad and 2 iphones but the computers are priority.
Support from apple told me it is not their problem. Go daddy says the same.

Gmail has its own application you can install to access your Gmail account - it's really good, and will let you view by inbox/starred/labels etc.
Well worth getting:
Gmail Mobile
Not sure whether it works with the E61, but it's worth a try - I really do much prefer it to the pop3 access that's built in for gmail

How to sync mail with mac and pc?

Synced iphone to my mac at home - .mac, itunes, ical. Any way to get my Outlook calendar and mail off my pc at work?

The only way to sync email between an email client used on one or more computers and the iPhone is with an IMAP account. The iTunes sync process does not sync mailboxes for messages for an email account.
You can sync address book contacts and calendar events with multiple computers.

How to sync mail on mac and ipad?

Is there a way to sync all of my mail on both of my devices? It used to work ok but now I'll open mail on my ipad and it shows all the new messages but when I open mail on my mac it only shows what it had before, no new ones. Also works vice versa, I'll get new mail on my mac but not my ipad. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Using iCloud ??
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
On your iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Mail off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your mail.

Hi there, suddenly I can't send email from my iphone. I use mac mail, have deleted it, restored it, done a sync to my mac book, read endless help paged and still get the message *unable to connect to smtp.me.mail . Some one please help!!!

Does anyone know why my mac/me mail would suddenly stop sending mail? Happend a few weeks back since the software update and now won't send a thing. LIke I said I deleted the acount, set it up again, did a sync to my mac book, checked settings again and still it wont send mail. Received fine.
I've looked through the threads but cant find one for me/mac mail on the iphone with same problem

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

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 get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

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!

Is there a way to sync from a mac or iphone(contacts) to mail accounts?

Is there any way to sync mail contacts from my mac to my mail accounts??? like google etc.
Or is there any way to sync my contacts from my i phone to mail accounts??like google etc.

You can also use a 4 finger up gesture. The app (or the Dock on the Home page) will lift revealing all open apps. You can then tap the app you want and go directly there.
This short video shows you how to use the gestures.
