Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
How do I get mailboxes on my iPhone 7 to match those on my MacBook Air so that they sync? I have one on my Mac where I store tickets and bookings and the like but it doesn't appear on my iPhone
iPhone 7, iOS 15
Further to my previous, I feel a bit of an idiot. I was using iCloud on both devices, but innocently (or ignorantly) assumed anything on the Mac would automatically appear on the iPhone. But there's a section on the sidebar in Mail "On my Mac" where the mailbox in question was - and so I discovered that these weren't synced. Copying them to the iCloud section cured the problem. I live and learn.
Thanks to you and Mr Hoffman for helping me resolve this.

The only mailboxes that can be shared are those created and located on the mail server.
Mailboxes stored on your Mac (or locally on any other iPhone or iPad) cannot be shared.
Set both accounts up as IMAP, that way the emails are stored on the server and not downloaded to your Mac.
Thanks very much. Can't think why this simple answer doesn't appear in Apple Support (or does it, I couldn't find it)
You're welcome.
