> Jim, how do you accomplish this? If my Mac is on, it will use my rules to place certain emails in folder On My Mac, and they disappear on my iPhone.
They don't appear ON YOUR iPHONE because you put them in the ON MY MAC folder on your Mac
Below the ON MY MAC section of Apple Mail, I have another section labeled ICLOUD. All the mail I have there syncs with my iDevices.
Brent: I understand moving to On My Mac makes .mac, .me or .icloud emails not visible on iDevices. I did not say that was a problem. I read only limited email on my iPhone. Moving my POP email to On My Mac leaves the emails visible on my iPhone, since the POP accounts don't sync email.
> If the Mac is not on and connected, they do not sort. Most of my email accounts are POP, not IMAP.
I used to only have filtering/sorting/rules on my Mac, which meant that if it was not turned on and connected, my mail did not get filtered before syncing.
Now most of my rules are IN iCloud, and the sorting/filtering happens on the server, and when the mail is sent to my iDevices, it is already filtered.
And, as has been repeated here MANY times, having your mail folder structure duplicated on your various devices REQUIRES being set up with IMAP, and it doesn't work with POP.
Brent: And I guess that is the crux of the issue. I did not want to have to recreate all those Rules in MobileMe. Especially since the majority of my accounts are POP. I only want some of my email on my iPhone, important personal and work related. I don't want list-related stuff on my iPhone, that I will deal with when I am on my Mac, away from work.
Since I don't forward all my email to my iCloud account. Rules set up there would not help much. For example, we were not allowed to forward all corporate email.
I used only POP until around January 2009, when I got my first iPhone.
Part of the reason for getting an iPhone was the possibility of "remote reading" my ail easily. So I switched to IMAP at that time, and have never looked back.
