Sync email accounts across devices (MacOS & iOS)

Hello, dear friends. Can anybody help me with synching my emails across all my devices?


I've got Mail.app on my Macbook and Mail app on my iPhone, but email accounts are not synching across these devices. I mean, I must add one email account twice (to my iPhone and to my Macbook). Are there any way to synchronize accounts? Are there any way to add an account to my Macbook and then it will automatically appear on my iPhone?


Best regards.

iPhone X, iOS 11.4.1

Yes if you use IMAP. All devices accessing that email account will be synced. So if you delete an email from the synced account on any device it will be deleted on all devices. If you create an email on one of the synced devices the email will show up on all synced devices. Accounts will not automatically show up you have to add each email account to a synced device before that account will sync on the device.

No. How would the second and subsequent devices know what email account to sync with until you told it? It is not difficult to set up an email account on each device. The settings on each device are the same so it is a simple task. You only have to do it once then syncing is automatic. Once the account is configured on each device your email is synchronized across all devices.
