OS X Mavericks :: Syncing Precedence With Mail
Sep 6, 2014
My wife has Mavericks and uses OSX Mail with Hotmail. (I have my 12 year old G4 with Tiger OS and a $10 burner cellphone. I'm IT support at home but don't actually have any of the gadgets so it makes it tough to explore answers myself.) She also does things with her email on her iPhone, and occasionally will use the web based interface directly to the Hotmail account. The devices are currently all talking to each other and when she moved a message in Mail it appeared in the folder on her iPhone. When she deleted it on her iPhone it disappeared from the folder in Mail on her computer.Â
Now let's say at some stage her iPhone is in airplane mode, her computer is not connected to wi-fi, and she logs into her email account on another computer using the web interface. Let's say she then does different things to the same message on each of the devices while they are not connected such as delete the email on one device, move it to one folder on another, and move it to a different folder on the third device. Then she turns off airplane mode, turns on wi-fi. What takes precedence? Which action will get synced to the other two?

I have been using Mail on the Mac for 3 years now and it's mostly worked great. Now it does not synch properly. I can see new emails on the web version of gmail, but they never show up in Mail.

I want to disable the syncing of settings for my mail accounts across devices. It is causing issues.Â
Right now when I set up or modify a mail account on my iMac it changes the settings on my Macbook. This isn't an iCloud account. They are my email accounts with 3rd part service providers.Â
1)Â How can I turn the sync function off?Â
2) The issue it cause is that incoming ports get changed on one of the machines without me changing anything. Then my emails stop coming in on one of the machines.

I am running Lion (latest ver) on my iMac (2011, i7), and have icloud set up to sync mail (and other stuff) with my iPhone 4. My iCloud account Sent Mail and Drafts are being syncronized between the cloud the iPhone, but not the iMac. So for example, I see 2 items in my Drafts folder when I log into icloud.com, and I see them in the drafts folder on iPhone mail, but they do not appear in the drafts folder for my iCloud account on Mail.app on the iMac. Also, I don't see emails I sent from icloud.com on my Mac's mail. I have iCloud enabled on the mac, and mail syncing is specifically turned on. Â

I've got a new Macbook Pro that I'm syncing through MobileMe to the older macbook pro it's replacing, as well as my desktop iMac. It has synced the mail properly, but on the laptop, which has been my main mac for mail etc, there are a lot of folders, old mail etc. I never had these folders etc on the desktop. I would now like to sync (copy) these folders and all the saved mail in them to the new laptop, and sync the whole thing with the iMac.

I have been using the same iPhone 5s, iPad mini, and Retina MacBook Pro since at least October of last year (when the 5s came out) and have had no problems syncing notes until recently (not sure of the exact date, but at least a few weeks).Â
Mac is running 10.9.4
iPhone is on 7.1.1Â
not sure what the iPad is on, don't have it with me right now but it is syncing fine.Â
My problem is that my notes are not syncing to or from my Mac. They sync to and from the iPhone, iPad, and iCloud.com perfectly, but the Mac is not doing anything. I have deleted and signed back into my account on every device and the notes are sill not syncing. The iCloud account is also the only notes account on the computer. I use notes frequently and need them to sync between devices.Â

I have noticed my contacts on my macbook are not synchronizing with iCloud. I have 20 contacts more on my matchbook than I have in iCloud. Since I have more than 500 contacts I don't know which ones I'm missing.I also have double contacts in my 'all contacts' but I cannot delete them. I trust my iCloud contacts, but there are at least 20 contacts missing there.Â

It seems that I'm not alone with 'issues' in synching Outlook for Mac 2011 with mobile devices.. The setup I am trying
MacBook Air (brand new) Mavericks 10.9.3
iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1.
Outlook 2013 (brand new)Â
I've been able to succesfully import all of my email (from a previous version in windows) as well as get the contacts and the calendars imported onto Outlook for Mac, but am at my wits end to get them all talking to each other. Â
Outlook won't sync to the iPhone for mail, contacts and or calendar, nor visa versa. Â
I'm now reading that perhaps mavericks is not compatible with outlook synching services or outlook synching services isn't compatible with mavericks.
Info:
iOS 7.1.1

I recently updated to Mavericks. Now I'm getting an error message from syncing with my Yahoo! calendar. It keeps saying that Yahoo! won't accept the change.  All I wanted to do was dismiss the message from my mac, not change anything on Yahoo! Very annoying.Â
Also, for the past few months, even before I upgraded to Mavericks, I've been noticing a problem with events that migrate between my cell phone and my computer. The cell phone is a Samsung Android. It purports to sync with my gmail calendar. ical also purports to sync with the gmail calendar. The appointments do migrate from calendar to another, but the messages don't. It doesn't do much good to have an appointment in my calendar if the program doesn't give me a message warning me of the event.Â
Yes, unfortunately, I have both Yahoo! and gmail calendars.

Can I sync my read messages on mail.app with gmail? For example:
I'll open up mail.app and see a message "Subject 1 - jondoe@me.com" and read it. But when I go to my gmail inbox on Firefox, it is still unread.
Can I sync them so I don't have to read messages over again?

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4s. All of theme are running the latest OS & iOS.
My MacBook and iPhone seem to be sycing Mail and iCal fairly well. I can't seem to figure out why my iMac won't join the party.
I think I have all of the settings turned on correctly in Preferences. I am using a Gmail account, Hotmail account and iCloud account in that order.Â

Notes is not syncing to my iCloud account, but to an old MobileMe account which I cannot remove. The MobileMe account does not show up anywhere else except in Notes. In Settings I confirmed my iCloud account is logged in. I feel like this is more of a bug than anything else. Can I reset Notes or reinstall Notes? The computer is an older Mac Pro and has gone through many software updates...

I have 2 Macs, A Macbook Pro and an iMac.
I do use MobileMe and i know I'll be able to sync my mails that way, but due to the cost of internet connectivity in South Africa, I'd prefer not to be sharing my emails over the internet.
Is there a way that I can wirelessly sync my mails using my Airport?
Something automatic that would initiate the sync when both machines are detected on the network would be 1st prize.

I migrated to iCloud months ago and have been receiving mail on both my Mac and iPhone with no problems until yesterday. I've been on ios 5 and Lion for quite a while and did not update any software in the past few days. Sometime on March 22, mail stopped syncing to BOTH my Mac and iPhone. I also sync gmail to those devices with no problem and I can get my mail through the internet on iCloud.com.
The fact that sync failed on both my devices separately tells me it may be a larger issue? Through Mail on my Mac, I get the following message on the failed sync... The server returned the error: The server "p99-imap.mail.me.com" cannot be contacted on port 993. I've tried deactivating and reactivating, closing and reopening the apps, rebooting and even deleting the mail account on iPhone then reinstalling. Nothing works.

I know this has been covered before as I have seen various threads about this but I haven't solved my issue. I'm having trouble with my iCloud account and more importantly syncing bookmarks and mail.Â
I have an iPhone 4S and iPad 1 which both sync booksmarks and mail fine, I also have an iMac (Lion) which doesn't! Bookmarks don't sync between the mac and iphone/ipad for some weird reason which is my main problem.
Also, I have literally just had an email come through on my phone, but 'Mail' on my iMac says theres nothing, even when I click the 'Get new messages in all accounts' button on the top left of the Mail app, nothing new comes through. It's very strange.Â

Apple's new OSX Snow Leopard includes native Exchange email sync using Exchange Web Services but it seems that this does not sync emails in the same way outlook does: emails on Mail.app only update when you open a specific folder on your exchange mailbox (like IMAP does) and not like Outlook on windows where folders are updated in the background. does anyone know about this behavior and if it can be changed on Mail to work in the background? I've only tried this on a developer beta (latest version) of SL briefly and noticed this behavior but would like to get feedback from those that may have upgraded.

Since MobileMe has been axed, mail rule syncing does not work anymore. Is there an alternative to get mail rules to sync with iCloud or other tools? It is stupid to have different clients using the same (IMAP) account(s) but different rule sets.

I am trying to sync mailboxes with two iMac computers through the Mail Application, however I have been deleting messages on one computer and it has not been updating on the other. I tried to see if I can change the account type to IMAP instead of POP but cannot seem to get that to work either.

How to make the contacts I have through the Mail program sync up or copy over to my Address Book? Speaking of which, does anyone know how to delete contacts from my Mail? When I go to send an email it can populate the send field with previously-written to contacts, but I can't seem to delete some I don't need/use. That's when I found out that my Address Book doesn't reflect the same things which lead me to asking.

10.7.3, bound to ADÂ Several questions that I can't seem to find the answer to on apple's KB. Â 1. When setting up an iphone to synch with the lion server, why does it only present mail and notes for synch? Is this just how it works, you have to setup the different services seperately for mail, contacts, and calendar? I can't believe that when an iphone has builtin support for exchange.Â
2. I followed [url] to get ical working for AD users. I also followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5276 to get push notifications in ical and addressbook working for AD users. It was initially working after following this doc, however now it's not. Even after restarting just get invalid username or password.The log file shows something about an OD crash which seems to coincide with an attempt to login to iCal using AD credentials.
3. I cannot edit user's shortnames via WGM. Even so, it wouldn't accomplish what i need. So i'm fine with just manually creating aliases. I tried to edit the postfix aliases file for a test alias group: user1, user2 Doesn't work even after restarting mail it says it's unknown user. Mailman doesn't work the way i expected. I need to create distrobution groups, not a maillist. Â

I need to copy a set of email addresses and paste them into a spreadsheet for uploading. Using Mail's copy function I get the result "mailto: (address)". If I just copy that as an address Mail doesn't recognize it as a valid address. Is there a way around this?

I Have two Microsoft exchange mail one mail works properly, but the other has developed problem from past one week. Mails are automatically getting deleted every day, sometimes every few minutes. I have to restart the computer to again download the mails. The mails only get deleted from my computer and not the exchange. Also, would like to inform my MAC pro book got infected with Trojan.gen.2 virus. Which I discovered with Nortons antivirus software. I installed this software as I doubted if my mails are getting deleted owing some virus. Although my MAC is free of virus, the issue with one exchange mail remains and emails still gets deleted.

Seems when Apple Mail checks for new mail (Mail provider is Google), it does show up in the All Mail folder that Google provides, but the new messages are not showing up in the Apple Mail inbox.
When I check this in the Google mail web client, mail appears as normal. Â
I'm missing messages, so this is something I'd like to figure out what's going on. Â
