Q: When I delete mail on my Apple Mac, it does not delete those mail itemson my IPAD and I phone.  How can they all be coordinated so I do not have delete mail on all three devices.

When I delete mail items on my Mac Pro it does not delete the same deleted items on my IPAD and I phone.  I have to delete all items from each device.  there must be a way to coordinate all three so that I can remove items on only one device and ICloud should coordinate them.  Please help!

    With iCloud emails (those of type me.com, mac.com or icloud.com), they should be deleted on all devices and computers when deleted on one - this assumes all devices/computers are logged into icloud using the same account.

     

    For other email accounts that are not part of icloud, like Yahoo and personal domains, this will not work if the account is a POP account.  In that case you must delete from all devices if the account is set up to not delete from the server.

     

    It sounds like your account is a POP account.
