Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have four Apple devices: iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, iPhone 4. I manage mail with Mac Mail on all these devices. When I delete mail on one device and go to the next device, this action has not taken place and I have to do it all over again. Three times for each email, etc.
How do I sync Mail on all devices so that an action on one is recognized by all the others?
Thanks.

Hie this seems all very helpful, thanks a lot. I'm just having trouble understanding if this involves cancelling my email account altogether ( I have hotmail pop since the 90 and it doesn't sync when I cancel between iMac and iPhone. Terrible) Did you have to eliminate and stop using your original talk talk (not sure about the name) address in order too use imap?
My TalkTalk email account was on POP3 (incoming port 110) and therefore didn't sync across devices for deleting emails. After saving emails I wanted to keep to my iCloud account I then went into Settings, Mail and deleted my original TalkTalk account and set up a new TalkTalk email account but this time as IMAP (incoming port 143). Now everything syncs with action on one device syncing across all devices. No help forthcoming from any helplines so once I had found the incoming port codes from the TalkTalk website I worked out how to do it myself and after years of frustration am now relieved and happy! Hope this helps and works for you.
Presumably you need to do this every time you deal with your mail? Isn't there a way of doing it automatically like with other Apps?
You know, I ran into this very problem when I had to redo my mac back to factory. Everything worked great until I did this, now I am having this same problem with my mail syncing. I have deleted the icloud account and redone it the way everyone says but still nothing. Everything else seems to sync just fine like calendar and when opening apps etc. Just my mail won't work the same as before as in when I delete on my iphone it won't delete on my mac etc. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or missing something, or what. I've read all the forms and tried just about everything possible except redoing my mac again to see if this fixes the problem and this time go much more slowly and read everything carefully before clicking on ok. Maybe someone here as an idea for me to try, any help would be great.
Thank you 😕
I have same problem; use Mac Mail on all devices and the accounts are all IMAP but none of the email sent on iPhone syncs to MacBook.
I have IMAP with my provider (bigpond), I just checked in my iPhone settings. It still doesn't sync? I have folder set up in the inbox on my mac too and these don't come over to my iPhone?
How do I sync email across all my apple devices?
