Re: [apple-iphone] Limiting/prioritizing email on iPhone5

 

> 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 labelled ICLOUD. All the mail I have there syncs with my iDevices.

> 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.

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.
