I have Mail on my iPhone 13 configured exactly the same as on my MacBook Air running on Ventura 13.4.1. Both using IMAP. Yet I cannot see my incoming mail on the phone.
I have a separate mailbox configured to POP which is showing up on the phone (but not synced - when I read the mail on my Mac, it still shows as unread on the phone). (I understand that POP mailboxes cannot be synced).
My IMAP incoming and outgoing server settings are probably incorrect. Incoming server port is configured to 993, outgoing to 465 (same as on my Mac, which is working fine). SSL is enabled. What am I doing wrong?
POP does not sync
IMAP syncs across devices
You do not say who provides your email...?
The specs are typically list on the web if you need to do something special for port numbers..
ex. iCloud Mail server settings for other email client apps - Apple Support
For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Note—
IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync
POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them
“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
