Using mail on multiple devices

Hi, I get mail from two gmail accounts on three devices: iPad, iPhone, desktop. Is there a way to set it up so that when I delete mail from one device it deletes it from all three? I am going nuts with so many messages. Thanks for your help.

Use IMAP mail protocol. Not POP.
IMAP keeps the email on the server, and the mail client just reads it from the server.
POP (especially gmail's POP) downloads the mail to your device, and gmail's POP keeps a copy as well, so that all your devices can download the mail, hence your need to delete from each device because each device has downloaded a copy.

Using iOS5 on multiple devices

hi Forum
Is there a view on how to use iOS5 on multiple devices when multiple devices are owned by differing family members? i have an iPhone, my partner has an iPhone, and together we have an iPad. [i have a MBP as well but havent updated to Lion yet, dont knwo if this is part of this question]. iOS5 can sync to multiple devices so can we sync all apps and musc between the mobile devices? do they have to be on the same apple user ID? of have i got that wrong?
also contacts and photos wise, we both have our own photos, contacts, calendar and mail. can any/all of these be syncd between us all? i guess the one that would be syncd would be photos as youd want to see that on the ipad.

The iTunes account and iCloud accounts are not linked on your devices.
So you can each have an iCloud account that works on your iDevices nd all be logged into the same iTunes account in the iTunes Store, App Store, IBooks, etc.
You do really need your iMac to be on 10.7.2 as it was a requirement before you moved to iCloud, did you lie when asked the question "are all your devices ready for iCloud".

HT3228 Mail on multiple devices. Need to sync action for messages.

I get mail on multiple devices. I find myself doing everything (delete, move, read ) on each device for each message. I need all to sync. In other words if I delete a message when reading mail on my iPhone, if I then look at mail on my iPad the message should not appear.

Is your email account POP3 or IMAP? If POP3, does your provider
support IMAP? An IMAP account will do what you want, POP3 does
not.
The problem you have and the resolution are a function of the type of
email account you are using and not the device you connect with. Set
your email up as IMAP (if possible) and your problem will go away.
If you are using a POP3 account and cannot set it up as IMAP because
the provider does not offer IMAP, consider setting that account to
automatically forward all email to an IMAP account (Gmail is one, there
are many others) and work from the IMAP account. You should set the
POP3 account to automatically delete the emails after forwarding.

you can't.

a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts (Apple IDs). a library thusly set up will sync content purchased with any of the five Apple IDs to any device.

Mail stopped receiving mail on multiple devices??

I can no longer recieve emails on only one email address, that is on multiple devices. This email address has been operating perfectly fine for years. All of a sudden in the middle of the night, on four devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac Air and Power Mac) mail has stopped being downloaded.
Things done and symthoms...
Check all settings on all devices - All Good! No error codes
Remove/Re-install on one of the devices. All emails load back in to about the same point as other devices.
Adjusted SSL settings (which worked perfectly fine).
Turned off WiFi - Using cell coverage
Reset Airport Express
Webmail is working perfectly fine
Other email accounts with same provider (Go Daddy) working perfectly fine.
iMap Settings in place

I'm having the exact same issues. I have about 10 different email addresses. All have worked fine since I bought the Mac Pro. As of yesterday, whenever I log into any WiFi netwrok - and networks that always worked in the past - I can't download emails from one of my addresses. Same is true with the same email accounts on my iPhone.
Interestingly, when I tether my iPhone and use 3G (rather than WiFi) I'm able to send/recieve from this same address on my laptop AND iPhone!!

E-mails on multiple devices

I receive e-mails on both my iPhone and iPad, however I must delete an e-mail on each device. Is there a way to delete an e-mail on one device and it is automatically deleted on the other device? Prior to a recent iPhone update, this worked perfectly, including deleted e-mails not appearing in my Outlook 2007 Inbox.

You would need IMAP access to your email to do what you want to do (sync email when using multiple devices). Comcast does not support IMAP accounts only POP. You could, as a work around, only access your email using their webmail interface from all devices. Then delete the email from webmail, which Comcast provides. The deleted email will not show up when you access webmail from another device. When using webmail your emails are not downloaded to your device but remain on the server so all devices can view the emails until deleted by you.

Using acrobat on multiple devices?

I pay the monthy fee acrobat and want to use this software on my desktop and iphone, not just my laptop. Ive tried downloading on my desktop and have been unsuccessful. Can you use on multiple devices when paying for this service?

Hi Sam Sweat,
Since you're talking about downloading software, I'm assuming that you're referring to an Acrobat subscription. The license agreement lets you install that on up to two different computers. What happens when you try to download the installer on your desktop computer? Do you get an error message?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

Deleting e-mail on multiple devices

I receive e-mail using the Mail program on my Mac book, iPad, and iPhone. After I read an e-mail and delete it, i have to go to all of my other devices and delete them too. Isn't there an easier way to delete read mail from all devices at once?

I guess I have a question along a similar line....this is what I would like to do.
I have a pop e-mail account........I also have a iMac, iPod Touch, and a iPad......I was hoping to sync e-mail along all devices. That is when I receive a e-mail and reply to it.....it shows that alone all devices....when I delete it.....it deletes it on all devices.....I receive on my iPad.....it shows up on other devices also.
By the sounds of it I need a IMAP account....is that right? Can I change from a POP account to an IMAP or is it up to my provider.
Same thing with my calender.....I make an appointment on my iPad and it adds it to all devices (or is this what mobile me is for?)
Sorry for these newbie questions but I am new to the Apple world.
Thanks for your time in reading this and for any and all replies!!
