Syncing deleted mail across platforms and devices

Hey Everyone
Does anyone know what do I need to do to universally delete email on all my accounts on all my devices? As example if I delete it on my iPhone, I want it to automatically delete on my Macbook, iPad, etc. Does mobilme help for that or is there another way?
Thanks

This is possible with an IMAP account only, which is designed for this very thing.
A MobileMe account is accessed as an IMAP account with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with a POP account, which is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

Delete mails on iMac and devices

If i delete mails on my iMac , i want them deleted as well on my iPad and iPhone. What do i have to do?

Are you using an IMAP account or POP account on your mail server? If POP, that downloads a copy of the message to your device, and when deleted on one device won't remove it from other devices. IMAP, on the other hand, will do what you want. Some services, like google mail, give you a choice of POP or IMAP.

If I have an older iPhone and it is connected to my cloud account with my other devices, what would happen if I delete my cloud account from that phone, will I delete it across all my devices?

Also, I have one more thing to ask. Can I then set up a new cloud account for the old iPhone just for my son to use?

Is there any way to sync POP mail between iOS and Mac devices via the cloud?

The title says it all. I have Comcast email and would like to keep three devices in sync with email like I do with calendars and contacts. I use an iPad, iPhone, and a Mac Mini and am having a hard time configuring the three to stay in sync. It seems that a .me account is needed for cloud email, which I have, but that only seems to send via the .me outgoing server. So, while a .me account can retrieve the POP mail, it doesn't send outgoing mail correctly for me. Maybe it just isn't possible.

When I send mail from my mobile devices, it comes from my .me account. Same for my mac. But, I don't care because no matter which email the recipient responds to, I get the response.
I use my .me account now as my primary account, but I have a ton of folks who still use my cox account as my primary email address. Most don't even know which account the email is being directed to.

HT201342 When I delete mail on my Apple Mac, it does not delete those mail itemson my IPAD and I phone. How can they all be coordinated so I do not have delete mail on all three devices.

When I delete mail items on my Mac Pro it does not delete the same deleted items on my IPAD and I phone. I have to delete all items from each device. there must be a way to coordinate all three so that I can remove items on only one device and ICloud should coordinate them. Please help!

With iCloud emails (those of type me.com, mac.com or icloud.com), they should be deleted on all devices and computers when deleted on one - this assumes all devices/computers are logged into icloud using the same account.
For other email accounts that are not part of icloud, like Yahoo and personal domains, this will not work if the account is a POP account. In that case you must delete from all devices if the account is set up to not delete from the server.
It sounds like your account is a POP account.

Syncing deleted mails on a E7

According to the website Mail for Exchange does not automatically sync the deleted mails and this has to be done manually. Can anyone explain how to do it please?

Hi Harps,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
Which website do you refer to? If you delete an email on your phone, it will also be deleted (or moved to "deleted" folder) on the Exchange server during next sync.
If you want to change your sync settings, please see Sync schedule in the Profile settings. You can set the synchronisation frequency to Always on, Manual, or set it to occur only during the hours you have specified in the profile. To synchronise at any time, regardless of your synchronisation schedule, select Options > Synchronise.
If you need more information on Mail for Exchange, look here.
Let us know if this helps,

Reading / Deleting mail on Ipad and AOL?

When I read email on Ipad and delete them. Do I still have to delete them in AOL?

In my experience, Deleted mail on any of my iOS devices get sent to a Trash folder, where I can permanently delete them.

Best Way To Sync E-mail On Pcs and IPhone?

I have a vista pc, a XP pc and an iphone. I would like e-mail synced on the pcs and accessible by the iphone. If I use my iphone to reply to e-mail or to write new e-mail then I would like that reflected on my pcs.
I don't want all of my e-mail held on my iphone due to concerns over identify theft if the phone is stolen or lost. Therefore, having it fully synched with the pcs doesn't appeal.
I'm seriously thinking about mobileme, more for the photo and document storage together with calendar synching.
I have a pop account, but would consider another account such as gmail or mobileme account. The latter possibly not ideal due to being tied in to Apple and their charges.
I'd be grateful for advice on the best way forward.

I'm aware that imap syncs e-mail but I'm hoping that I can use an impap account but for the iphone only download new e-mail. Having thousands of e-mails on my iphone is a waste of memory and a security concern.
This is not possible. The iPhone's mail client is no different from an email client used on a computer for accessing an IMAP account in this regard.
And you won't have thousands of emails on your iPhone. The iPhone's mail client includes a setting to show XX most recent messages for each mailbox with 200 being the max. If a mailbox has more than 200 messages available, there is a Load More Messages selection at the bottom of the mailbox. And storage used is minimal with an email account unless you open and view each message in a mailbox. When a new message is received with the iPhone's mail client, the message header and the number of message preview lines you have selected are downloaded only. The entire message body is not downloaded until the message is selected to be opened. And if you are connected to the cellular network for internet access, attachments are not downloaded until the attachment is selected in the message body - unless an attachment is under a smaller designated size.
And with an IMAP account that is also accessed with an email client on your computer, you can transfer server stored messages to a mailbox stored locally on your computer's hard drive which removes the messages from the server - especially for older messages received that have not be transferred to additional server stored mailboxes by category, etc.
The iPhone's mail client is really designed to be an extension of the email client used on your computer for accessing an account and IMO, an IMAP account is best for this purpose which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients. You can create additional server stored mailboxes to sort received and sent messages by category, and you have control over the number of messages available in each server stored mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.

What is the max song limit for wifi media sync? Getting spinning clock and device acts locked up...

Okay,
So my device has been working fine for quite a while and I moved over OS6 when it was made available to the beta testing group about a month ago.
So I decided to try out the wifi media sync last night and it took Desktop Manager about an hour to even come up with the list of music. After I saw all my songs listed I synced over a few songs via USB to get the wireless sync portion all setup and make sure it was working.
After I unplugged my device from USB and let it do it's thing over wifi it started up with the spinning clock and became VERY unresponsive. Now everytime I start it up, it is somewhat workable for 1 minute or so and then the spinning clock comes back. (Even though I have shut off Wifi so it won't continue to attempt syncing) I actually let it sit and run overnight but the device had a 601 error when I woke up and it needed a reset. When it came back up it resumed with the spinning clock again.
I'm thinking it's the number of files I have in my library, about 45,000...
What's the most you've ever tried to use with media sync??? There is no provision inside the desktop manager as far as selecting which library you would like to sync or a way to reduce the number of songs it sees. Only way to do this appears to be changing media player's libraries so that it doesn't see all the files.
Really, I would like to be able to sync some of those files, but all of them are not needed. And the fact that it basically makes my device unusable is the biggest problem. I'm in the process of trying to disable it completely via desktop manager so I can have my device back....
I looked around at various forums and can't seem to find anyone else running into this. Anyone here had a similar or related problem? What did you do to get around it?

One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

Uploading - skipping files across platforms and version numbers

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on XP.
I've had a problem with Dreamweaver's FTP feature for several
months now. I will try to upload a file, and only about 1/4 of the
time, will it upload successfully.
I will sometimes get a message saying: "Some files were
skipped during the last operation. A list of these files has been
logged in the FTP log window". Then, that file, (index.html, for
instance) will be deleted from the server. Often, it takes 7-10
tries to just upload one file.
other times, I'll get this error message instead "There was
no response from the server while transferring the file
"index.html" 2 attempts made" It doesn't matter whether i click
"Try Again" or hit "Cancel" and try it again manually... still,
only about 1/4 of the time it's successful.
In the FTP log, this is what it says, for instance: (This is
just 1 example... it's happening across all 45 sites i manage)
=======================================
< 230 user logged in
> PWD
< 257 "/ksmk.org" is current directory
> PWD
< 257 "/ksmk.org" is current directory
The file "/ksmk.org/index.html" was skipped because the old
remote file could not be deleted.
=========================================
Fixes I've tried: re-setting my firewall to allow dreamweaver
access. using passive FTP. using ipv6 transfer mode. the only thing
that seemed to work was deleting the setting of "Home Page" under
the "Site Map Layout" tab in Advanced Settings. it would work
flawlessly up to 2 or 3 times. But then, that setting would
automatically be populated again, and i'm back to square one. I'm
not going to go into the settings every time i want to upload
something!
I gave up, and started using WS FTP instead. a pain, because
i really like Dreamweaver's FTP better, but WS FTP is better than
the frustration. i figured i was just doing something stupid.
But now, my brother in Texas, on Vista and CS4 is having the
same exact problems. and, my friend 20 miles away on XP with CS3 is
as well. so it's not just my problem. It's happening across ISP's,
platforms, servers... every variable except Mac. I've been fine
using dreamweaver on Macs... possibly just a PC issue?
any ideas and suggestions would be gladly appreciated.
thanks
-Andrew Latham.

HI Ron,
I am not sure, but the small files might be the resource forks of the photos.
I know when I send photos to PC friends that I make sure the resource fork is removed from the photos before I send them other the recipient will get two diles in the email. One the resource fork and the larger is the photos.
You might try exporting the photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop. From there you can use a program to delete the resource forks from the photos.
You can then copy that folder of photos to the media player.
There are different methods to do this.

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.

Why is my calendar not syncing on all my computers and devices

In the past, I could put an appointment on one computer and it would sync immediately with my 2 laptops, iPhone, and iPad. This is the reason I loved Mobile Me and paid for it for years. iCloud work fine for awhile, but now some of my appointments are not syncing. I have checked all of the settings and they are correct. I put an important appointment on my main laptop last night and it is not on any of the other devices; I then put it on my iPhone and it is not on my iMac at work. All of my software is up to date and current. I really depend on this feature. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Have the same problem!!!

Can I sync Mac mail w/iphone and Yahoo mail?

I'm used to checking my Yahoo mail on my Mac using the mail program (not Mobile Me). Now that I've got an iPhone it checks it on Yahoo mail and uses Yahoo mail folders. I've got lots of stuff stored on my Mac in mail folders and still prefer to check my mail there. When I send a mailnote from my Mac it, obviously, doesn't show up in my sent mail in Yahoo. Is there a way to sync all of this? I really prefer the Mac mail interface than Yahoo's web browser interface. Also, the filters (a.k.a. rules) work way better in Mail.
Thoughts or am I missing something?
Thanks.
-Robin

Robin,
iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, not the actual emails and folders.
When you setup the account on the iPhone, by tapping Add Account> Yahoo!> entering you account info, it is setup as a IMAP account.
Heres a thread discussing not being able to setup up a Yahoo! IMAP account on a Mac or PC: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1020969
You can contact Yahoo! support here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/
Also you can workaround the issue by setting up a MobileMe or Gmail IMAP account.
