Why isn't iCloud syncing emails I send from my various devices?

I thought that iCloud was supposed to sync all emails sent from my desktop, my iPad, or my iPhone.  I don't see that a message that I send from my desktop is appearing on my iPad or iPhone.
Is there a special setting I have missed in either iCloud or Mail
Thanks,

iCloud doesn't sync mail.  Whether or not sent email appears on your other devices depends on the type of email account you have, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP account such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo, or and Exchange account, you will seen any changes on one device (such as sending, deleting or moving email to a folder), reflected on all your other devices.  If you are using a POP/POP3 account you won't.  Sounds like you are using a POP account.  If so, you would need to switch to an IMAP or Exchange account in order to keep your email in "sync" across your devices.

  • Why do printed copies of emails I send from sub-ac...

    Hello, hoping someone can help.  I have a sub-account email address.  Sometimes if I send an email and the recipient prints it off, their hard copy prints the name of my primary account holder  (eg they expect to get an email from Jenny, and Joe's name is bizarrely printed at the top of the page).  There is no sign of the primary account holder's name on the screen, just on the printed version, where it appears like a page header - sitting a bit above the printed email they were expecting to see, which looks exactly the same as the on-screen version of the email, (eg it's 'from' my email address etc). Is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen?  It doesn't happen when everyone prints an email from me.
    Thanks

    when u use software like outlook etc. Make sure that will not delete emails from server when download them. There is option to choose auto deleting when download email. Some email provaider offer option to create the folder on server and u could move all downloaded email to HDD from email server to that folder and will stay on the server .
    Why move them from inbox to another folder beacuse some email clients will be downloading the same email from server. Usually in expensive email clients u can set to keep data on server and do not download again same emails.
    But sometimes this dont work and it will dont download new email better to set to download emails by date (24H day). Any new email from current day will be downloaded and oryginal version on server keeped on the server.
    Works in 99.9% emails. Why 99.9% when u dont use email account/client for more then 1-2 months the software may get bit confuse and dont copy all emails.
    ps: u can take out HDD, buy cheap HDD closure for 5GBP put that HDD in and connect via usb if HDD partions are not damaged u gonna be able to copy all data in very easy way . If partions are damaged/bad blocks etc the recovery of them is still possible but u will need some "skills" to pull out them, sometimes u can buy sam HDD for electronics beacuse old HDD has died and replace and copy data problems going up when head are down etc.
    U can still recover data by sending HDD to company which has special lab to do this. Must be impressive clean for opening HDD and accesing to discs and avoid any electro static bit on disc. expensive.. even very expensive depends of how much GB needs to be recovered.
    or buy online place on the server to make backup of pc. As the operator of server will make regulary backup of server so all your data will stay safe. Better the DVD disc, which u can lost or get damage, pendrive which  may die when using microwave etc.  U can alwayes use cabinet for dvds. But cabinet instead of case for disc. Will not get lost due to size and will be locked, use only DVD-R discs. Dont use xx-RW (rewritable discs) as u may overwrite data on disc by mystake.

  • Why is my iCloud account unable to send from iPod touch.

    Hello,
    My apple ID is a @mac.com address but my iCloud email address is @me.com. On my ipod, when I select "from" when composing a message in mail it has the address listed as @mac.com instead of @me.com. Since the @mac.com address doesnt exist it won't send email. I tied to edit the iCloud mail settings to make the email address an @me.com but it would not allow me to do so. Any thoughts?

    Figured it out. Had to delete my icloud account from my ipod and then sign in again using my @me.com address. It then showed my @mac.com address as the account name but had the right @me.com address as the email.

    Why isn't iCloud showing up in my preferences? It still says MobileMe and I have already cahnged to iCloud...

    Entourage is not an email account. It is a mail client that gives you access to your email accounts. You need to determine the email account in Entourage and then configure your iPhone to use those details. See Account Settings under the Entourage menu in Entourage.
    If you want access to the contacts and calendar in Entourage you need to enable SyncServices in Entourage (in Preferences). This will then sync contacts and calendars to the Mac OS X Address Book and iCal applications, which can then sync to your iPhone.

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Replies to emails i send from my iMac are not downloading on my iPhone, why?

    Replies to emails i send from my iMac are not downloading on my iPhone, just my iMac. All other emails download to both devices. How can I get all emails to download on both devices?

    You may not have the same protocol setup. ie. Try using IMAP on both if available.
    What Mail account is it? @example.com

    You must put each device on the Verizon cloud.
    Not both lines on one.
    Go and set up a my Verizon account for the second line and you will have Verizon cloud service on that line.
    Oh the term "icloud" is a trademark of Apple Inc. Verizon is not Apple.
    Good Luck

    I cannot get my emails to send from my ipad mini (neither can orange), they just go to the outbox and say the server will not accept them.  I can receive them ok but not send them.  I have two accounts set up i cloud and orange, this is my main account.

  • Mail in OS Mavericks HELP!!! Why do some of my emails not send despite the sent sound playing?

    Dear Mac Community
    I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.1 and everything is fully updated.
    I use the Mac Mail programme to send and receive Gmail emails as I have done for many years.
    Recently, I started to notice a worrying problem. Every 10 or 20 emails or so, (I haven't noticed a specific regularity), I write an email and press send. The mail seems to send fine and I get the sound notifying me it has left the outbox. However, when searching for a reply, I find that in fact it is not in sent items, and it has only been located in Archive - Gmail (all mail) or Trash - Gmail, and not in any sent folder. Indeed, when I ask the recipient if it has been received they say no.
    Since the mail programme is telling me at the time of sending there isn't a problem, how can I ensure that all emails are sending correctly without checking 'sent items' every time I send one, which would be deeply frustrating. I've only noticed this a few times because key emails haven't been replied to - but it's possible that there have been several other incidences I haven't been aware of.
    I don't know if this is related, but another similar problem occasionally arises, whereby an email pops in on my phone (iPhone 5s also using mac mail programme for gmail) but not on the computer. In fact I can't see it unless I click on the 'Gmail Archive' folder where it appears, and copy it manually into my inbox. The regularity of this seems to be equal to that of the former problem, which is why I wondered if it could be related.
    All help gratefully appreciated
    Thanks

    In that case your email provider's server is having difficulties to deliver the message to the recipients email provider server.
    This has got nothing to do with Thunderbird.
    There is little you can do though. You may have the recipient to check with his email provider if they have any issues.

  • Why isn't there an option to send a photo right after taking it?

    Currently, after taking a picture you can click on that picture in the lower right corner of the camera screen.
    Once you do that, you can choose < Camera Roll, Done, Edit, Trash.
    Why isn't there an option to choose that photo and send it as a Message, Email, etc. right there, instead of having to close the camera, go back to your photo albums, then choose the picture (which may take a little while if you have a lot of photos), and then choose the sending method?
    Its kind of frustrating when you want to quickly send a pic!

    There on my phone running iOS 7.0.4. Reset your phone:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Bear in mind, won't be there if taking a pic from the lock screen.

  • Help with iCloud/syncing emails

    Hi
    I may be missing something really obvious here as I like to think I'm pretty good with technology and have been Mac based for the last 8 odd years so I'm used to the Apple setup etc. However, I'm having some difficulties getting things syncing across devices and wondered if anyone knew how to resolve this.
    I have several different email addresses I use, my personal one and my work one, plus the standard icloud one you get when you create an icloud account. My personal email address is from my own domain name so is set up as an 'other' type of email account, my work email is Exchange Server type.
    Across my iPhone, iPad, Mac and iCloud on the web the Exchange email address syncs perfectly. I can send/receive email from this account and if I delete a message/read a message/move a message to another folder etc it syncs automatically across all devices. With my own personal email, although I can read/delete/send emails from any device, they don't sync, in that I may read all my emails on my iPhone and then have to go through them again on my Mac and my iPad separately.
    Also, when I log into iCloud on the web, the only emails visable are from my iCloud email address and this is all I can send emails from as well.
    My personal email address is the one my Apple ID is set with.
    Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me please as its extremely frustrating to have to keep going through my emails 3 times each day, and even more frustrating that my work email which is Microsoft based works better than my Apple Mail account!!
    Many thanks
    Jo

    Thanks for that nunomonterio, I shall get this set up now to try it out.
    In the meantime though can I just check a couple of things....
    That means I can only redirect one domain I assume, so it uses relevant smtp server (I have a couple of different domains).
    Also, surely that mean that when I respond to my emails forwarded from my own domain to the icloud account they will be sent with my icloud email address or can I set them to display the from address of the relevant domain they were originally sent to?
    Thanks again for all your help.
