Why don't my sent items sync to my iphone from mail "pop" account?

I have the same POP account on mail and my iphone and have itunes set to sync the account. it seems like the only folder that synched was the inbox. I want to be able to sync my account and have sent emails on both mail and my iphone. I send a lot of file attachments for work and it would be great to have the sent emails on my iphone in case I need to resend that attachment if I am not in the office provided I synched my iphone with my computer before I leave the office... any thoughts... I went down the IMAP road and the problem is the email server we are using online doesn't have enough storage to keep all the emails on the server.

Not possible with a POP account.
The email account sync process with iTunes syncs (or transfers) email account setup information for select accounts only from your computer to the iPhone. This does not not involve messages.
The reason the account's Inbox mailbox seemed to sync is because received messages with a POP account are the only server stored messages and if not removed from the server when downloaded by one email client can be downloaded from the server by another - in this case the iPhone.
If you want Sent messages kept synchronized between your computer's email client and the iPhone's email client, you MUST use an IMAP account for this purpose.

  • Why don't my photo albums sync to my iphone exactly as they appear in iphoto?

    I set up an album in iphoto 9.6 and arranged the order of the photos just as I wanted them. But when I sync  (itunes 12.1.0.50) to my iphone 6 (ios 8.1.3), several photos are out of order and some are replaced with photos from my elsewhere in my iphoto collection that I did not select for the album. How can I get the album to sync exactly as I set it up in iphoto?

    No there isn't, I'm afraid.

    Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    James,
    Thanks for your response.  The image was on a site I maintain.  I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine.  I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it.  Gimme a few...
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about.html is the page with the replacement jpg
    Just checked.  The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3).  The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
    thanks again,

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Why do my playlists no longer sync reliably with iPhone?

    Having used iTunes and various devices without difficulty for 8 years, I've only now encountered playlist syncing problems between iTunes and my iPhone 5. Random songs are missing from random playlists. The songs are transferred to the device but do not appear in the playlist. When they are manually added in the device, they dissappear at the next sync.

    I am having a similar problem; only with the last few syncs to my iphone 5S (lastest iOS version) with 11.1.4 version of iTunes on MacBook Pro.
    The problem seems with small playlists where I have downloaded 1 song on my iphone and the other on my MacBook Pro - only the song downloaded to the MacBook will sync with iphone 5S - the one downloaded to my phone transfers to music library but won't sync back to iphone from playlist created on MacBook.
    But, an album I downloaded to Mac and added to a playlist synced with iphone first attempt = no hassles.
    iPhone 5S; iTunes 11.1.4 on MacBook Pro Retina; iOS 7.0.5

  • HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

    Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

    purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

    If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
    Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • Why are my sent items not stored when sending from Apple Mail?

    Hello Apple Support Communities,
    I am Using an iMac at my place of employment. It is running OSX Yosemite v10.10.2 . I am also using Apple Mail to connect to our Exchange 2010 Server. I do the same with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop using Outlook 2013. For a while now, several months in fact, It turns out that any emails sent from my iMac using Apple mail will not store a copy of it in my sent items on the server. They are not stored in the iMac account, the iPhone, the iPad, or Outlook on my Windows Laptop. However, any email sent from the other devices will have a copy stored in the sent items folder and it will propagate to all of my devices.
    Upon investigating, I found myself looking through the tracking logs of my Exchange Server and found that Apple Mail and the iPhone send messages completely differently. I think this might be the source of my problem, but I have no clue whether I can fix it, or even where to start. Here is an image depicting the logs. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    5. If you've created subfolders of any Exchange mailbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. For best results, a mailbox should have no subfolders.
    6. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    7. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.
