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.

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.

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!

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:
http://www.hawkwings.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/wp-images/threepanehack.jpg
The very last folder is the .Mac folder I am referring to. Here, it is apparently actually called ".Mac", not "[email protected]".

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.

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!
Pierre

Sync "Mail" addresses with .MAC?

I have a new .Mac account. While within the Mac mail program, if I sync with my .MAC mail, will my .MAC mail then have my E-mail Addresses??
thanks
CRS

I followed your instructions. Yet when I log into my .mac account, go to mail, click new message, I still cannot get any addresses to show up in the address field. I already have the .mac mail configured to check my normal AT&T incoming mail, and it all works fine. Do I maybe have to check something else in the .mac sync box?

Sync Mail between 2 mac's

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to sync Mail between my two mac's? Using .mac or some other avenue? I am not only using .mac email but also a POP server and g-mail. thanks!

Hi,
To sync mail between two macs (also with the web browser and iPhone) yo need to set up the email accounts using IMAP. .Mac is automatically set up as IMAP. For gmail account the setup instruction can be found at
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379
For POP server sync is not possible, you simply can read your email within an email client. Check with your email server, if they offer any IMAP access by any chance.
Read the following thread for better setup of an IMAP account,
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8007668#8007668
Other additional sync can be made using MobileMe in system preferences.

Sync Mail to iPhone functionality hanging in iTunes

I am running OS 10.4.10, iTunes 7.4.2 (4), and I was having this problem both before and after updating to 1.1.1 on my iPhone.
Basically, I have several accounts configured in my mail client in the MacOS, but my .mac account is the only one I access and use on my iPhone. It was working great, and frankly, still does. However, if I have 'Sync selected mail accounts' checked in the Info tab when my iPhone is connected, the syncing process freezes during the 'syncing mail accounts'. I actually walked away, and found it sitting two hours later at the same prompt. When I uncheck it, everythin else syncs perfectly, no issues, and frankly, even when it's not syncing through iTunes, it works fine on wifi and edge, so I am using my phone.
I don't know what functionality I'm losing when I don't sync this email account through iTunes, but whatever it is, I'm not seeing it.
Any ideas as to what this sync does (I did have to type in my mail password on my phone after my last reset), and any ideas on how to fix it? The problem started a few weeks ago under 1.0.2 and I seem to be running good with the function disabled, but I have a feeling when I add more mail accounts (which I intend to do) it may be helpful to have it working.
Thanks,
-Dan

The option to sync selected Mail accounts transfers email account settings from the Mail application on your Mac (for the selected account or accounts) to the iPhone so you don't need to set up the account or accounts on the iPhone. This process is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone. Any changes made to an account's settings on the iPhone is not transferred to the Mail application during the next sync.
So after this is successfully done, you can deselect the option unless you make a change to an account's settings with the Mail application that you want transferred to the account's settings on the iPhone.
This doesn't resolve the problem which should work regardless.
Try selecting "Mail Accounts" below "Replace information on this iPhone" under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences to see if this makes any difference with the next sync process after this is performed.

How do I sync Mail with Outlook and Gmail in browser?

I really like the Mail app in OS X, but I've noticed that it's not synced with the browser version of my email accounts, so anything I do in Mail (e.g. read an email, delete/trash it, etc) is only reflected within the app and not in my browser.
Just in case I didn't explain that properly: For example, if I read an email in Mail, and then switch to my Outlook account in Safari to check if that email has been marked as read, it would still appear as unread. If I delete and trash and email in Mac, that same email appears exactly where it used to be in Outlook, completely untouched.
This bothers me for two reasons. One, even if I were to stick with Mail and not touch my Outlook/Gmail accounts in Safari again, I still wouldn't like the idea of my inbox being all messy if I were ever to log back in. Two, Mail doesn't seem to have any options to create folders and subfolders as far as I'm aware, so my emails which are very neatly organized in Outlook are all lumped together in Mail's inbox. So even though Mail is a neat little app, I still have Outlook and Gmail bookmarked.
I'd like to know if there's a way to sync Mail with my email accounts in-browser, so that any changes I make in the app also show up when I log into my actual accounts? Maybe I'm just missing something or if this is not possible at all, please let me know. Thank you!

You have to set those accounts up as IMAP. Right now you probably have them set up as POP3 accounts.
Pop3 account are one way. You download your mail to your computer and send mail from your computer and it all stays on that particular computer. Imap stores everything on the mail providers server. Incoming and outgoing mail is always on the imap server and can be gotten on multiple devices. All sent mail is store on the server also and can be viewed from multiple devices.
With outlook that might not be possible. Not sure if individual outlook accounts can use imap. I do know that the office365 side can as that is what my company uses and some people are using macs and other email program other then ms outlook.
