Syncing created mail folders between:  .Mac, my computer, and my iPhone

When I perform a sync, why don't all the mailbox folders that have been created on my computer also appear on .Mac mail and iPhone mail? Shouldn't they all match exactly?

The sync process just transfers the mail settings, it is there just to help set up the email account on your phone so that you do not have to type your account name and password and the incoming and outgoing server if necessary

  • Syncing Apple mail folders between macs??

    I would like to be able to sync the folders in the ON MY MAC section of Apple Mail on my MacBook with the Apple Mail on my iMac.
    Is there a way to get iCloud to sync the changes made to these folders so they reflect new and deleted messages?

    You must place the "On My Mac" mailboxes on the server for the mailboxes and messages within to be available via iCloud webmail access and with the Mail.app on each Mac.
    Select and drag an "On My Mac" mailbox under the iCloud section in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer to copy the mailbox and messages within to the server.

  • Can I use iCloud to sync my Logic folders between Macs?

    So, I'm looking for a way to keep my MacBook and iMac in sync with regards to Logic (Pro 9 - downloaded). I figure I want the following folders on a two-way sync:
    1) Application Support/Logic
    2) Application Support/GarageBand
    3) Audio/Apple Loops
    4) Audio/Impluse Responses
    5) My Logc folder in my Music folder
    Have been looking at iCloud recently but don't know if it'll do this. If not, know of any any decent software for this?
    Thanks.

    WorldOfWires is probably referring to the audio content found in their home folder, not the factory content.
    ~/
    Hopefully iCloud functionality will be added in the future.
    Currently I'm using ChronoSync to sync my ~/Library/Audio folders across machines.

  • Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

    Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders.  Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

    IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
    With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).

  • How can I sync Mail database between MAC computers without using IMAP

    All, I know this has been asked several times in several forums but I wish to ask it again with a slight twist. The normal question is can I sync  Apple mail database (folders) between two MAC computers. The answer is always use IMAP, but unfortunately IMAP is limited on space to store historical emails. I keep mailboxes (on_my_mac) with thousands of emails and attachments that take up a massive amount of space, well beyond any IMAP server allowances. I keep these in order to search conversations that span over many months and sometimes years.
    I use GoodSync to sync my normal folders from my MAC Book Pro and my Mac Pro desktop so that I can have the same information (in real time) when working from home on my big machine or at the office using the laptop. This is great except I can not sync the email. I use Outlook 2011 but would prefer to use apple mail if I can sync the two computers (Sync'ing Outlook 2011 is even more impossible).
    I also do not want to start and stop my email clients to make this happen and worry about which MAC is running mail and what direction to copy the entire folder structure just to have to follow that up with a new re-build of the index.
    Has anyone came up with a viable solution this this problem. Also keep in mind the amount of data - Cloud based solutions are dependent on Internet connection speed (days of initial transfer time and hours to sync) and if I am on my laptop without internet connection, say on an airplane, I would be out of luck so I need the information local on each computer.
    Hopefully someone has some ideas, or maybe Apple can take a request for enhancement to Mail to support syncing multiple computers.

    I assume that this is a POP system then.
    There is no reliable method of syncing the Mail database between 2 Macs. Just how many Gigabytes of Mail do you have?

  • How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

    Hi,
    May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
    How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
    Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
    For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
    Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
    I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
    I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
    Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
    I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
    Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
    MANY THANKS!

  • Syncing Pop Mail across two Macs

    How can I sync my POP Apple mail folders on my work computer (Macbook Pro) and Macbook Air? I need to be able to read and download them on both computers but make sure the messages I've downloaded are on both computers. I can't switch to an IMAP account as I have 20,000 downloaded emails organized in folders that I need access to. Thank you for any help!

    If you want to stay with POP rather than IMAP, make sure your mail account is set up to NOT remove messages from the server (Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced).
    Then, set up your account to automatically BCC yourself on messages you send. (Mail>Preferences>Composing).
    Now all messages you receive and send will be available from either machine.
    Another alternative is to periodically simply copy the whole Mail folder (<home>/Library/Mail) from one machine to the other.
    This is what I do, in fact. I use the iMac as my main computer and made an Automator workflow app to copy Mail, Calendar, and Address Book files and selected Documents folders to my MBA. It's not elegant perhaps, but it works for me.

  • Creating mail folders

    when i click on 'mailboxes' on my ipad, it shows: inbox, drafts, sent and trash.
    is ther a way to create additional folders to save specific emails?

    You can't create mail folders on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account then folder you create on a computer or webmail usually appear on the iPad. If you have a POP3 account you can't.

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

  • How to create Mail Folders?

    Question
    Does anyone know how to create mail folders for oganizing the inbox? I can't figure it out, but likely, the answer will be "you can't".
    I'm not using an IMAP mail host, I have a pop account with Yahoo!Mail.
    Any help is appreciated...
    Thanks.

    I can't figure it out, but likely, the answer will be "you can't".
    How'd you know?
    No, you cannot create folders on POP mail accounts on the iPhone. Let Apple know you would like to be able to do that.
