  • How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

    How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
    The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
    What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
    Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

    The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
    Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
    With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
    I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
    in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
    the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
    sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
    my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
    /sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
    I'm so confused.
    Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
    When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

  • How do I delete all email messages in just one touch (delete all feature)?

    Does anyone know how to perform a "delete all" in order to delete all email messages rather than going through each message one at a time to move from the inbox to the trash folder, then delete from the trash folder permanently?  Currently, we seem to be able to only select one message at a time, rather than perform "Delete All".
    I read in a forum post about the "Delete All" button being available only when pressing Edit in the Trash folder.  Could someone please provide the sequence of steps to successfully delete all messages in one step?  Thanks.
    John Bottiger

    It is not possible other than as described by yourself - singly to the Trash folder and then collectively from there if you so wish.

  • TS4083 How can I sync all email accounts to my iphone?

    There used to be an info section in iTunes that allowed you to sync email accounts from your iMac to your phone but this option seems to have been removed now from iTunes. Has it moved to iCloud somehwere? If so, how can I sync the accounts from my iMac? Thanks is advance for your help!

    Thanks! I knew how to do that already :/ Just upgraded to a 5s and didn't want to manually enter my accounts and server settings again (there are 10 email accounts) as I actually don't remember most of the passwords. I backed up settings from my old iPhone 4 before swapping the sims over and have managed to restore the 5s from that backup which copied over all of my email accounts, great success! However, just had to access cpanel for all accounts to reset the passwords as they are not copied over.
    Thank you for your prompt reply!

  • HT204053 how to I sync my email message with Cox so all of my messages appear on my MAC, my Iphone and my IPAD? If I turn my MAC off I don't receive my emails until aftet I turn it back on? THX

    How do I sync my IMAC, IPAD and IPHONE for messages. I use cox as my carrier. If I turn my IMAC off and then come back later - turn it on - I don't receive any messages from COX - they are on my phone and Ipad but not on my IMAC?
    Thank you -Jaq

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How do I copy all Email messages to another system and view them seperately from any messages on the new system?

    We're giving my wife's old laptop to our children. We have already set up her E-mail accounts on the new laptop which is now 2-3 months old. While cleaning off the data from the old laptop, I have found hundreds of Emails that I want to save for future use. I just archived the old messages tonight. How do I copy them to an external drive so we can read them later without writing over all the new Emails on the new laptop?

  • How do I sync my email messages

    Hello
    Two quick questions:
    If I download my emails automatically from my ISP to Outlook (using POP3, so that they are no longer on the server) how do I sync my iphone with these emails in Outlook?
    Then, when my PC is not working how do I get my iphone to access my ISP, so that it can download any new email messages?
    Thanks

    You cannot sync email with Outlook. You can set up an email account on the iPhone and download messages to the iPhone, just as you would with Outlook. However, as you have already noted, you do not get messages that were already downloaded by Outlook. This is a limitation of the POP3 protocol, which was designed way back when no one could conceive of the possibility that you might have more than one computer/email reader.
    As a kludge you can set Outlook to not remove messages from the server after download, but that causes a management headache when you want to delete messages fro the server.
    The best solution is to switch to an IMAP email server, as IMAP was designed to access email from multiple devices. With IMAP the master copy is on the server and remains there until deleted from one of the clients. If your ISP does not offer IMAP you can set up a GMAIL account or MobileMe to act as agent for your ISP's email server.

  • How do I Sync all my Yahoo folders with MAIL?

    I have managed to set up my Mail program on my Mac so that I can send and receive messages with my Yahoo account. On the initial synch it managed to download all of my inbox messages but no other messages that I have filed in separate folders. Also any messages I send do not get added to the sent list on the Yahoo server. I have synched my iPod touch to pick up my mail aswell and had no problem retrieving all of my folders and the messages in them, including the sent and deleted folders. And if I send a message from my iPod touch it gets added to my sent folder on the Yahoo server. Similarly if I move a message from the inbox to one of the folders on my iPod touch this is also updated on the Yahoo server. This continuity means that if I send a message on my iPod touch and then need to forward this message again at a later date from my Yahoo account on the web I can as it will have synched when it got sent. I would find this very helpful if I can get my Mac to do this too as I don't always have my Macbook on me so if I file something on my Mac or send something from it I can't access it unless I have my mac with me.
    How do I get mail on my Macbook to work in exactly the same way as my iPod touch? I want it to work as though I am logging into Yahoo directly.

    That is why. POP does not support folder synchronization. You need to set it up as IMAP. You can find the IMAP server settings on Yahoo's support site. If your iPod Touch is synchronizing, than it must be POP.

  • How do I "Select All" email messages at once for deletion rather than touching each one?

    I receive many emails each day and many of them I would like to delete all at once.  But the only way so far I have been able to figure out how to do that is to manually select each and every one of the emails I want to delete then hit delete.
    That is fine when I only have 5 or 6 email to get rid of, but I regularly have anywhere from 50 to 200 at a time to delete.
    I cannot locate a "Select All" option in any of the menus.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks
    Jerry

    from within the inbox, sent, trash:
    menu/select, menu/select all, delete.

  • When I check usage in my iPad 2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  Removing all emails (sent, trash, etc) it is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When I check usage on my iPad2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  When I remove all emails (sent, trash, etc) it shows Mail is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When you do an upgrade, sometimes the pad goes back to the isp server for the unread count.  These are likely old e mails that you never opened, and are so far down the list that they dont make it to your oad.  In any event - go to the mail server via safari or on a computer and use webmail.  You can find those emails there and delete them -

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • How to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in N8 Symbi...

    Hi to all
    There is any way to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle ?
    Because syncing one by one is very unpleasant (I have 12 email accounts on my phone). Is there a way to sync all accounts at once?
    hank you for your attention

    iSync does not synchronize mail at all, and .Mac Sync synchronizes only mailbox structures, rules, signatures and smart mailboxes, not mail content.
    To 'synchronize' mail, you must use IMAP technology, as opposed to the far more common POP3 standard for incoming mailboxes. The OS X Mail program supports IMAP account creation, as do most electronic mail providers, including AOL and Yahoo. Notably, Google does not support IMAP with it's Gmail product: it's probably best described as a slightly whacky, non-standard POP3 offering, and is not a good choice if you want to 'synchronize' you mail among two or more clients.
    This sort of POP3 vs IMAP and mail synchronization discussion occurs frequently in the Mail & Address Book forum, and there are several 'experts' there—listed typically in the Top Rated Members in Forum list in the right sidebar—who help users all the time. You can search the forum by subject or their user name, or browse and look for related subjects or their answers, to get a better idea of how to deal with these issues. You can find that forum here:

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.
