I have a new iPad mini. When I open mail in the Mail program it retrieves mail and fills my inbox. However, if I later open Mail on my desktop iMac, and it retrieves the same mail (which has been on the server at my ISP) and fills my inbox there - the same mail disappears from my inbox on the iPad! This is very strange - I've had an iPhone for years and it behaves differently. Once the mail fills my iPhone inbox, it will stay there unless I choose to delete it. What I later do on my iMac has no affect on my iPhone inbox. Side note: I used to be a PC user, and I had a desktop and a laptop. I manually set the desktop mail app (Outlook express) to delete mail from the server after I downloaded it, and set the laptop to leave mail on server. Thus, if I opened Outlook on my laptop and downloaded mail, then later opened it on my desktop, the same mail would download. If I downloaded mail on the desktop PC first, however, it would be removed from the server and thus wouldn't be later available to my laptop. Microsoft Outlook for Mac Add Your Gmail Account to Outlook 2011 Mac Using IMAP. To set up your Outlook client to work with Gmail: Enable IMAP in Gmail; Sign in to Gmail. Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings at the top of any Gmail page. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP; Select Enable IMAP. I liked it this way. I don't know if one can set this ('Leave mail on server') on the iMac/iphone/iPad), but it has always acted exactly the same with my iMac and my iPhone. The bizarre thing is that it actually disappears before my eyes from the iPad mini inbox when I later download mail on the iMac, so I can't keep emails on the iPad the way I do with the iPhone. (all have latest iOS). So, no answers to my first post. ![]() How about this information: Sometimes when I try to manually delete a message from my iPad Mail inbox, I get an error message that says 'Unable to Move Message: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.' This, together with my problem below, makes me think that the messages are in some sort of cloud instead of 'on' my iPad mail app - how else to explain that they simply disappear from the inbox when I later download them on my iMac (thus removing them from my ISP server). But I don't have Mail set to the iCloud in my settings (iPad nor iMac) - just Calendar and Find my iPhone. I really want to be able to save messages in my iPad inbox even if I download them later on my iMac. Mouse tricks for computer. So, no answers to my first post.
