Email across multiple devices

Like many of you, I have multle devices now accessing the same email accounts. My inboxes are full all the time and it's hard to keep them organized. For example, I end up having to delete the same emails from my iPad and iPhone; am I missing something in the settings that would make this easier?

It would be easier with an IMAP account, which is designed for this very thing - accessing the account with an email client on more than one computer and/or device.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
Read a received message with the iPhone's Mail client and don't delete the message and the message will be marked as read automatically when accessing the accounts's Inbox mailbox with the iPad's Mail client and/or with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, and vice-versa.
Send a message with the iPad's Mail client and the message will be in the account's Sent mailbox when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client and with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account and vice-versa.
None of this is available with a POP account, which is from the dark ages of accessing an email account with an email client on your computer when most if not everyone had one computer. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
An IMAP account is specifically designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers and devices.

How do I sync my email on multiple devices?

I read my email from several devices: my home computer, work computer, phone and ipad. If I read it on one device and delete it, is not deleted when I read it from the other devices. Is there a way to sync them so I can read, delete, save, file one time and not have to do it multiple times, depensing on what device I am using to read the email?

Closes is to have all your devices leave the email on the server rather then pull it all, but then you have to monitor space to make sure its not all lost. Perhaps have a email client on your main PC pull all copies but leave them for say 30 days before deleting. You would also have to cc yourself on sent mail.

HT3228 I don't see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone4, is there a way to keep it from the server so that I can check emails from multiple devices?.

I'm using IPhone 4 to check emails. Is there a way on the IPhone to setup that the messages would still be on the server so that when I check on my laptops the messages are still there. I can do this setup for multiple laptops but don't know how I can do it for the IPhone.
I got help and setup all the things they told me but the problem is that I did not see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone 4 to select. Is there anything else that I am missing? Thanks

The default for IMAP is that it does NOT delete the email from the server when it pushes the email to a device. Only if you tell a device to tell the server to delete the email, will it actually delete from the server.

Need a strategy for managing email on multiple devices

I have multiple email addresses and multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro). I currently have all mail pushed to all devices. The problem I have is managing messages from one device to another.
I would like to be able to delete a message on one device and have it deleted across all devices. I am thinking the only way this is possible is by stopping the push of messages to my devices and reading email only via iCloud. Or, is there another way?
Suggestions?

If you want to keep the same addresses, you will need to contact the providers for each and see if they offer an IMAP service.
It's a fairly simply concept, IMAP accounts do exactly what you want, POP accounts don't. Whether or not all your providers offer an IMAP account is another matter.

How can I eliminate email on multiple devices?

I have four different email accounts. I have three devices, a Macbook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad. How can I coordinate the devices so that all email goes to my computer, but only messages that have not downloaded to the computer go to the other devices? I end up deleting the same emails from multiple locations, which just takes too much time.
Thanks

My mail account on my iPhone is configured as a POP account. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This same mail account is configured as POP account on my iPad. Messages are set to never remove from server.
This account on my MBP is set as POP, and again, remove from server is disabled.
Every email appears in every location. As an example, I had not turned on my iPad for two days, until I checked the settings of the email account. It immediately downloaded 99 messages. I have seen these messages on both my computer and iPhone already, and have deleted them from iPhone. I would have preferred that they never appeared on the iPad.
Is this possible?

Email on multiple devices

I access my verizon.net email from more than one computer, an ipad and droid razr. I would like when I delete the email from one device it is delted everywhere and not have to delted the same email on every deivice.
Also, I would like to see my folders on my verizon email on my ipad and phone, I'd like it to work like my gmail accounts.
Is this because verizon is pop3 email only, not imap?
I tried a chat session with a support tech here and was told to contact apple.
thanks for the help in advance.

Yes. The functionality you are looking for requires IMAP, which Verizon does not offer. They have stated that it is Not Likely they will implement IMAP in the future.

For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps... I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
Thank you for your help!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

Can no longer access .me email on all devices. What did I do wrong?

I can no longer receive an email on my iphone if the message has been received by outlook on my PC. The message finds outlook and is no longer pushing to my iphone and iCloud online email.
I cannot figure out what I did to disrupt this behavior as this is the way it's always worked.
Using outlook 2007 on PC
Apple iCloud
@me.com email account
iPhone
(before this started happening, I did delete this account in Outlook and reinstalled)
This has caused many other problems that annoy me but this is a deal breaker. I need to have all email across all devices.
I've searched high and low for server / message behavior in all settings of all devices.
Please help.
Thanks,
AJM

You need to save to the camera roll of the iPad, not the Movies app.
So you will need to save the videos to the iPad via the Photos Tab.
If you can see the video in the photos app then iMovie can see them.
If you can see the videos in the movies app then iMovie cannot (Movies is for copyright movies so iMovie does not look there).
There are a few threadson here that have the same question as yours.
You can have a look at them.

Cannot access read emails in Outlook 2013

I have Outlook 2013 and cannot read my read emails. The "ALL" tab at the top does NOT work. I have even done a search using the senders email and it still does not find it. This is crazy to not have access after reading an email.
What good is an email program if you can not do that. I will not renew my subscription to such a lousy email program.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We'll try our best to resolve the problem.
Can you see the read emails from web access?
What happens when you click "All"? Did you get a message "We didn't find anything to show here"?
Please try to switch to another View to check if the issue persists. Click
VIEW tab > Change View > select another view to check if the "All" works properly.
We can also try to start Outlook with /cleanviews command-line switch to check the result. Exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command and then type
outlook.exe /cleanviews, press Enter to check if this fix the problem.
Please let me know the result.

HT5361 Flagging emails on multiple devices

Hi I have a 2011 Macbook Air and an iPhone 5 that work together fine. I receive emails on both (through a gmail account) and if I flag or unflag an email on either device it shows in the other, and vice versa.
I also have a 2009 iMac at home that sync's with all the normakl apps, Calender, Tasks etc through the same gmail account, it also receives the emails okay however I have never been able to get it to flag emails correctly; it completly ignores what is happening on my other devices.
Everything is pretty standard, and as I say all devices are set up with the one gmail account; anyone got any ideas, i'm all out!

Not a flaw, but a function of what type of mail account you have. Doing what you want requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP account, & it sounds like you have a POP account.
That's the way POP accounts work.

Email on multiple devices need to use email app?

Hi
I've read old posts that suggest there is no solution to the issue of having to manage emails on each device - computer, iPhone, iPad. That is that you have to delete on all individually. This makes email pretty unusable! Is their an email app that can be used to solve this problem. I looked at a few but couldn't work out how to connect Verizon email to them
Any help.suggestions appreciated.

I also am fighting this battle between 2 IPads, iPhone and Mac computer. Any response on how to delete on one device and have it remove from all would be greatly appreciated.

Read email from multiple machines

Hi, I have an intel macbook and imac and am looking for an efficient way to read email from both machines. I currently use POP and have to check both machines to be sure I don't miss any mail. Is there a simple way of making the imac an IMAP mail server and use the macbook to read only?

If you set up an IMAP email account, you can read, send and delete your mail on any mac, which has your IMAP account set up. Because all your mail data etc is stored on the server, not on your computer. Think of it as a form of "web mail" but accessible through your email program (Mail and Entourage)
Cheers
