The other day I cleaned out my Mail inbox on my computer. But when I checked on my iPhone all of the messages I deleted were still visible on my iPhone. How do I get my mail to sync between my phone and my Mac without plugging in my phone.?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
Go to your Gmail account on Googles site and make sure it is enabled for IMAP as follows:
Wait 15 minutes or so for the changes to be applied. Then on your Mac, open Mail, go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, click your Gmail POP account on the left, then uncheck Enable This Account to the right. Then click "+" below the accounts list, select Google and add your Gmail account. It should be added as an IMAP account this time. (You can check Mail>Preferences>Accounts>your Gmail account>Account Information to be sure the Incoming server says "imap.gmail.com".)
On your iOS device(s), deleting the existing account in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars then add it back by tapping Add Account>Google.

I have an AT&T account. I have set up numerous folders in my Mac email. The folders exist on my iPhone but not the emails that I have saved to these folders. How can I get these emails to sync with the sam folders on my iPhone?
Thank you,
Craig
Thank you so much! I have a gmail account. Can the settings be changed to IMAP from pop? If so where do I do that?

You cannot.
Start using an IMAP email account, such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo. POP/POP3 email accounts don't sync changes across your devices, IMAP (and exchange) accounts do.
What about Yahoo? My problem is my Yahoo account isn't syncing between my phone and computer (both apple).
Great advice. Thank you.
Excellent it seems to be working now! Thank you so much for your help
You're welcome.
Try to move one email to one of those folders on your phone. Also try to verify that email folder exists on the server, by going to yahoo and signing in to your ATT account.
