Synk email btw Iphone/Mac showing read emails/deleting

I have recently started using iCloud. I changed to Imap from Pop and now I get all emails to both devices. My problem is that all the emails I get into my Iphone remain marked as "unread" until I open each email there, even if they are read on my Mac. The same if I delete an email, it doesn't get deleted on the other device. Any suggestions appreciated!

I was able to contact a company that has a similar app as ierase.  Now I understand the issue.  These programs do overwrite "free space."  But, WITHIN various apps, including email, there are files that basically point you to the data by saving a line or two (in the case of emails) in the application itself.  This is called a "cache." These files live in the apps, not the free space.   It's important because that's how computers know how to "remember" stuff for you so you can search, etc.    BIG BUT:  iPhone does not allow you to remove the cache or specific items from it.  Android phones seem to have this setting.  Your computer has this capability.  But your iphone does not.  The only way to remove information from the cache is to do a complete restore and not back up with iTunes.  Puleese tell me if I'm wrong. 
Think of it as a file cabinet.  The top drawer has the operating system files that don't get touched unless there is an update of the operating system, e.g. to 5.1.1.  The second drawer contains all your applications, with subfolders for each one.  The subfolders contain a whole lotta flags (often called placeholders).  These flags say: go to file drawer 3 and look up such and such.  File drawer 3 i is your free space where all the stuff you do is stored.  If you go to file drawer 2 and remove the flags, the system doesn't where to look for stuff in file drawer 3. You can add and remove files from drawer 3, or zero out the data, but the flags are still hanging around in drawer 2.  You get my drift. I'm so right brained...
This is my basic understanding of why this problem is so widespread.  It would be nice if Apple could allow cache editing.

  • Make the emails do not show in the ipad or iPhone after i read them in my macbook air

    make the emails do not show in the ipad or iPhone after i read them in my macbook air

    Assuming you're using Apple's Mail on your Mac, go to your Mac's mail Preferences (from Mail on the menu bar).
    Click Accounts on top, then click your email account on the left.
    Then click Advanced on the top.
    Check "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and set the line below it to "immediately".
    That will do it.

  • How do I stop emails coming through to my mac after I have already read and deleted them on my iPhone?

    I want to set up my mac so that once the emails from hotmail have been received, read AND deleted on my iPhone, they don't pop up on my macbook when I get home (and visa-versa if I were to receive the emails on my mac first). Can anyone help, please?

    There's SO much to learn from the manual. This tip helped. And since this was an older message, I should say that I have a 5c iPhone now, but the messages here still apply. I didn't realize you could turn it off without deleting the account.
    Until there's a time when you don't have to mark every single message, one at a time to delete them, instead of a "delete all" or some similar command, then I've turned my mail off on both my iPad and iPhone. I only check mail on those when I'm on vacation and away from my home computer, and I've learned what a mess it was with hundreds of messages being downloaded. Apple has to do better with that delete message function. One at a time seems primitive. Otherwise, I'd leave the Mail App on.

  • Imessage on mac shows email.

    Hi I recently got a macbook pro. I am having difficulties when it comes to imessage. Whenever I send a message to an iPhone it shows my email. I want it to show my number. I have looked into to how to unify them and all, but I haven"t been given a good answer since the ios 6 got released. The main thing I want is my phone number to show up when I send a messge from my mac.

    Cheonweb is incorrect. With 10.8.2 and iOS 6 you are now able to unify your phone number and email making it so you can send from your phone number on your Mac's iMessage.
    I was able to do this on one of my iPhones by fooling around with turning iMessage on and off on my iPhone and playing with caller ID settings. Then a bubble just popped up on my Mac telling me that a phone number had been added to my iMessage account. I then had to type my password and my phone number is now a caller ID option on iMessage on my Mac.
    Unfortunately, I don't actually know the process as I can't get it to work on my wife's iPhone as much as I turn iMessage on and off. It seems there's a secret that Apple's not telling us.

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

    You don't have push enabled.   Go into your settings and enable it, however many people will want to advise you that doing so will reduce your battery life.

  • Emails deleted on iPhone redownloaded on Mac

    I am having problems deleting emails on my new iPhone 3GS. I can delete the emails and all seems to be fine, but then when I start my Mac, I open Mail, and the emails are downloaded again.
    I have 3 POP3 accounts and one Gmail account, all are accessed via Mail on iPhone and OSX.
    I would expect the emails to just be synced with Mail not redownloaded from the mailserver again.
    Could it be a mail server problem? If I change the mail settings on my iPhone to IMAP, then that will sync with my Mac leaving emails on the mailserver indefinitely taking up space, I prefer to have my mail downloaded.
    Thank you for your emails.

    I wonder if there's any chance of a reply to this!
    I am finding that some emails I am receiving in Mail on my iPhone, but they don't arrive in Mail on my Mac. The iPhone Mail settings are synced from my Mac, so I know they are the same. The emails don't go to junk mail in Mail.

  • My iphone 4 shows email but i dont have any

    My iPhone 4 shows 11 emails (exchange) but I don't have any new emails.  I have used my computer to clear all my emails and still after sync, my iPhone still shows the 11 new emails.  I have moved all the emails to my read file and still shows the same 11 emails.  WTH? Help!

    Since you haven't upgraded your iPhone from 4.3 there will also not be an iCloud back-up.,,, so.....
    So there is no way to restore it, but before you start rekeying your contacts you should.
    1.  Back it up on Itunes (11.0.1) and a computer, it will help you upgrade your IOS (6.0.1) at the same time.
    2.  When complete ensure you have a back-up.
    3.  Set-up iCloud and iCloud back-up
    4.  Start keying....
    Sorry in advance..

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.

  • Blackberry HUB "Show Read Filed Emails" ON AND OFF button SERIOUS Gmail PROBLEM NEED BUG FIX ASAP!

    Its been for years (starting from 10OS Version 10.2 ) I couldn't see filed/labeled emails in my Z30/Z10 Blackberry HUB of my Gmail account, but I just downloaded Blackberry Blend and it started to show all my filed/labeled emails, but I still cant see them in my Blackberry HUB! Maybe you can tell me how to make Read Filed Emails visible in Blackberry HUB too?
    Blackberry HUB >> Settings >> Display and Actions:
    Show Read Filed Emails is ON
    Show Sent Emails is ON
    Both are turned on, but I still cant see them like on Blackberry Blend.. On search field then I type specific email from filed/label from my Gmail account I immediately finds it, but then I go back to Blackberry HUB all I can see just emails from inbox and single sent emails and YES "SYNC ALL EMAIL FOLDERS" IS SET TO ON AND "SYNC TIMEFRAME" IS SET TO FOREVER (''Sync All Email Folders'' is set ON and ''Sync Timeframe'' is set FOREVER).

  • Blackberry Classic does not show read in outlook when read on device for emails

    The issue is that when an email is read on blackberry it does not show read on outlook on laptop and vice versa. Any ideas?

    Need to know what type of mail server you are using. If it is Outlook on Exchange then they both will sync up, ie both show read when opened. If you are using POP email then it will not sync, you will need to open your mail on both to show as read. This is not a BB issue, it;s the nature of the beast with any phone. Now if your email provider supports IMAP,then set your BB up that way and it will synce so all mailboxes look the same.
