Synch mail to multiple macs

is there a way to synchronize mail, including multiple email accounts and folder structure between multiple macs using cloud services such as dropbox?
For instance is there a pst file I could copy to dropbox and later upload from dropbox that would make mail more portable? Sort of like restoring mail from a backup, except on a different machine.

Hello Sangvir,
As stated, you can create multiple actions (if you do that, don't forget to properly tune the action merging). This is the best option, because involves only configuration.
You can also add a few ABAP code in a new implementation of the standard send mail method and add multiple mail destinations in the "To" or "CC" fields. This is simpler than sounds to be. Ask for an ABAPper to analyze the method source code and he/she will adapt it for you in a question of hours.
Best Regards,

Mail with multiple macs.

Lets say you own 2 macs...
Lets say you have 6 or so email addresses... yahoo, gmail, .mac etc.
How do you get both mac's mail apps and mailboxes to mirror one another? Is this possible?
I don't mean mirror the same keychains and folder structure that synching does. I mean if I send a pdf from 1 mac and then I happen to be using the other mac and I want to find that pdf in my sent mailbox... I can find it! Is this doable? I thought synch would take care of this? I also thought synch would ALSO do this on .mac so I could ultimately have a web based version of my mailboxes and multiple machine based mailboxes ALL seeing the same stuff. Thanks for any help. Maybe I'm missing something?

I've done that but there are a few issues:
1. When I send an email in Apple Mail on my laptop... when I go to my tower Apple Mail that email does not show up in my sent folder.
2. Apple Mail retrievs Inbox messages but it doesn't seem to import Sent messages
3. .mac is totally in the dark with all of this activity and I can't log on at a friends computer and be up to date.
As much as I like Apple Mail it doesn't seem practical UNLESS you only use Mail from 1 computer and you're not dependent on retrieving mail from any other computer. With multiple computers today, multiple email addresses and pda, phones etc it seems like this needs to be nailed so someone can see everything wherever they happen to be.

Synch mail messages between Mac and Iphone...

I have a Mac Book Pro (and use Mail) and an Iphone 4. I had expected my mail box to synch such that all the mails I sent on Iphone would appear as sent items on my Mac and vice versa. This doesnt seem to be happening. What am i doing wrong please? Or is this not possible?

It is not possible to "sync" like with music or photos. You need to setup your email account on your iPhone.

Why are some inbox messages not appearing in Mail on multiple macs and other devices?

My partner and I have an iMac at home and one at work. We also have two iPhones and two iPads. We only have a couple email accounts each and two for work set up on all six Mail applications. For some reason inbox messages are not appearing consistantly on all six devices. For example, I can have a new message from my Mom, see it at home and on my iPhone, but not on the iMac at work.
Also, some messages I'd like deleted off my work iMac since they're personal, but I'd like them kept on my home iMac and iPhone. Is this possible? Is it possible to delete a message on one and have it deleted on all others?

What type of email accounts are they? IMAP or POP.
IMAP leaves messages on the server so you can get them from everywhere.
With POP, messages are downloaded to your client and then removed from the server, depending on your settings.
The iDevice setup for POP doesn't remove them from the server.
I think Mail's default setup for POP is to remove immediately.
If they are POP accounts, you can set Mail's preferences to leave messages on the server for a period of time so that you can retrieve them on multiple clients.

Is there any way to synch mail on two Macs so it doesn't have to be read twice?

Is there any way to process mail once instead of having to go through it again on each device? If you read or delete a message is there any way to have this synched on other devices?

Use ones that do :-)
Any service that does not provide IMAP, in my opinion, is not a service you want.
I suppose the alternative is to use webmail. Yuk.

Share mail on multiple macs

I have 2 macs and would like to access my mail from both computers. I'm using POP mail (no IMAP). Can I place the maildatabase on my airdisk and access it from both computers?
Thanks.

no, you can't. the only way to effectively sync mail across several computers is to use IMAP.
Thanks.

Podcast synching on multiple macs with same account

How do I get my podcasts to synch on multiple macs and therefore ipods with same itunes authorized account, ie the subscriptions I have on home computer don't show up on my work itunes account and therefore when I'ved watched flying one way, when I land I want to load the next set of episodes, but find the need to create entirely new subscriptions?
Thanks
george

I was able to resolve the problem using addMessageCountListener and messagesAdded method, as suggested by you.
I am now facing another problem. Whenever a new message is received, code inside messagesAdded method gets executed. Here I am trying to spawn another thread and do some stuff. But this new thread is not starting at all. It goes into some JavaMail:EventQueue and does nothing. What is the concept of EventQueue here? How can I get this new thread executed?
Also will there be synchronization problems in messagesAdded method. Say I received a message and I am processing it in the messagesAdded method. In the mean time another message comes up. How will this behave.

How do I merge multiple Mailbox e-mails from different Macs in my house?

The iSync does not quite fix what I'm seeking...a way to merge, not replace, all of my various e-mails that I send on different macs in my home. So, for instance, if I send an e-mail on one of them, I'd like to find that e-mail on my other two.
Anybody help me on this? Thanks!

If you adopt the IMAP account approach first - as long as the IMAP account does not have the same user name and incoming mail server as the POP type account which will allow for creating the IMAP account with the POP account, you can transfer messages from the POP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox to the IMAP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox on each Mac.
There is no way to merge mailboxes. You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox from one Mac to another and then transfer messages from the imported mailboxes to the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox in Mail on each Mac.

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

Same Account on Multiple Macs?

I am setting up a new Mac Mini to be used primarily as the "accounting computer". But it will also serve as a backup computer for the 3 users on my main Mac Pro when multiple users want on at the same time. So how do I handle the set-up of the new Mini? Should I create 3 identical users, with their same login names & passwords, on the 2nd Mac? i.e. So when I need to get on to check email, but my main puter is in use by another user, I can jump on the Mini & have updated access to my email??? Secondly, how do I keep Mail, Calendar, etc in sync on both machines?

My best suggestion would be to set your people up on one of the computers and have then share their home directories with password protection. You may want to do this on whichever system has more hard drive space. Then set them up again on the alternate system and make sure that they can connect to the main system to access their home directories. If you can train and/or convince your users to keep all of their files on the home directory space that resides on the main system, it could work.
This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. The use on the alt computer will only be to do a quick email check... I am in the process of setting all email accounts up as IMAPs... or internet surfing, etc. Any tasks that involve files from the main box will have to be accessed through sharing, then saved back to their account on that main puter... and this will be on occasion at most. And now that I've said all this, I can think of several instances where I've needed to interrupt someone because I needed to check my calendar... have yet to use iSync - does something like this allow me to sync my iCal to another computer?
So how should I handle the users on the 2nd Mac? Should I set up all the accounts there too... even if it might be for occasional use? And if I'm setting up individual accts, can I set up accts with the same login names & PW's on multiple Macs that are networked, without issue?
It just dawned on me that if someone is surfing the internet on the alt box, they might need their favs over there... although I'm the only user w/an extensive favs list. Truth be told, my network is a home business network. So far, the only other users on the main Mac are my kids... the network serves for home biz/personal tasks. One of my kids is a college student who uses the computer for all basic tasks plus web design & Photoshopping. Point is, I'm just looking for the best, simple solution.

How do I create a group in my address book to send and e-mail to multiple contacts

can I set up a group in my contacts / address book to send the an e-mail to multiple contacts?
I have mac book pro & I-pad 2 running latest operating system.
Thanks

Yes you can by creating a group and then dragging the contacts in to it. However, since iCloud, the Edit Distribution List feature has been grayed out. Without that feature, it is not possible to specifically select a single email address for those contacts that have multiple email addresses. A major flaw that will hopefully be fixed.

Using new Air Disk to host iPhoto library to multiple Macs?

Just some early thoughts and questions...
One of my biggest wishes for iPhoto has been to keep all my photos in synch. My wife imports family photos to her iBook, I keep some on my Powerbook and then others make there way to the family iMac. Wouldn't it be great for us all to share the same library? Any edits would not have to be done multiple times to the same photo on other machines, etc...
With the new ability to have an external HD connected to the new Airport Extreme, it seems that it should be possible to locate your main iPhoto libarary on this shared HD connected to the AE? Would this allow iPhoto running on multiple macs to reference a single iPhoto library on the AE connected external HD? And if so, could each mac call up the photos, edit and import to the library? As opposed to simply sharing the library as iPhoto currently does (which does not allow editing or saving to the other shared library)? I wonder how access speed would be over a wireless network (g or n speed)? Going a step further, what about Aperture?
Thanks for any thoughts...

However, if my memory is correct, having a fully editable shared iPhoto library is not possible between users of a single Mac nor using a network drive.
This article explains how to set up a shared iPhoto library in Mac OS X 10.4 which multiple accounts can see and edit. If the numeric UIDs of the accounts which will be sharing the library are the same, or if the Ignore ownership on this volume box is checked in the disk's Get Info window, you don't need to do anything other than dragging the library over and updating iPhoto's preferences.

Multiple macs & different iTunes libraries with iCloud

I have multiple macs with different iTunes libraries, and I don't want to blend them. What do I need to know/do before setting up and using iCloud? I don't mind choosing one library for use with iCloud, but I don't want to disturb the other libraries - although I do want to continue to sync calendars, address book, etc. on each computer. Can I have more than one computer having the same iTunes library?
Thanks for any feedback!
Keith

Until I tunes match comes out it does not matter. I cloud is for e mail, contacts, and calendars. Your I cloud ID MUST be an @me.com ID.

Syncing safari tabs across multiple macs

I have a Mac Mini as my primary mac and a MBA as my "leisure" Mac. I thought with syncing that all my Safari tabs would be the same in both, like is done well with Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. However, I've just changed my Mini Safari tabs, and I went to my MBA expecting to see the same framework, and it has not updated. What do I need to do to sync across multiple macs?

The tabs are not synced, just the bookmarks. Tabs are not data or content, just a window frame for different URLs.
