What does the sync mail checkbox do in iTunes?

Can anyone help me understand what checking the "sync mail" feature does when synching my iPhone with iTunes?
I'm not sure that it does anything since my mail.app and my iphone are both checking the pop 3 server.

Probably most of these 300+ tracks are sourced from a single general location which cannot be accessed or found on your new computer configuration. Right-click on several of the exclamation mark-ed tracks, choose Get Info. The location will be revealed at the very bottom of the newly opened window after "Where:".
You can try to fix iTunes exclamation for some or all of these tracks with a third-party app. Despite that it is still in beta it managed to find some of my missing songs in my library.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

What is the sync mail accounts in iTunes?`

I was wondering what this was bc i check my hotmail account very often and the box is checked under "sync selected mail accounts" : "hotmail (HTTPMail: [email protected])" I check my mail app and nothing was there I also looked at the settings for mail and my hotmail wasnt there. what is this and what does it do?

I think it might be there if you use Mobile Me. Then you could set everything up so that your touch and Mac can sync your mail accounts.

What does the "Export Mail" option in Mail app backup? Attachments?

Does it back up everything including attachments? What about the sent messages, draft, etc?

You can export each mailbox(folder) to another location like external drive. It will export everything. Later you can import them back if you like.

What does the sync choice "erase data before syncing" do?

I want to synce a Sony Ericsson cell with my ical via isync. One of the choices before syncing asks whether I want to erase info on the cell before syncing or merge the info on the cell with the mac. I only want to sync the calendar data and not the contacts. I unchecked sync contacts. My question is will choosing erase info before syncing also erase the contact info in the cell phone or will it only erase the calendar data? Thanks for the help!

HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
iMessages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Music library database index (but not the music itself)
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?

Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device?
What are the keys to the different types of information?

Hi I have answered you questions inline below:
Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Yes when you first set up the account or when you first add a device to the cloud, if it is not the first time, it will merge with the other data
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
By default it merges. There is no option to change this.
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
It will sync at the next sync interval if that data is selected to sync.
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device? What are the keys to the different types of information?
It resolved the entry the next time the first and second device syncs. Can you elaborate on the second part of this question?

What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?

What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?
Details
Constantly, while using Firefox (Beta v 11.0), and/or ESPECIALLY, when I have my eMail @ Mail.com open, I get this PopUp stating: "For security reasons, restarting mail.com Mail is possible only via the mail.com Mail Service. Please close this window and restart mail.com Mail" BUT Then there is a CHECKBOX: "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs."
I have no idea if Checking this Box is a Good Idea or if it will Screw-Up my mail.com Mail Service...
Anyone have an answer or explanation of the Use of this Little Check-Box?

You do not get any pop-up windows on that website if you tick that box.
That setting is stored in the cache and you should see pop-ups again if you reload the page and bypass the cache.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?

The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.
