iPhone + iPad + Outlook + POP3 emails!
« on: July 06, 2010, 06:28:17 pm »
Hi guys,

Does anyone know how i can reliably receive emails from the same account to all devices?

Example...

today...i received an email (pop3 account). The first device to grab it was my iPad. Later on, i got another and my computer downloaded it first.

You see how my emails could get scattered around? Its not as if my other devices catch up after an hour or so, they just dont appear.

Ive never really had this problem before as i used to run exchange server to distribute my emails. But now i have to use a POP3 account.

Any remedy to this guys?

That's still possible. Have a look a this link for a basic guide how to do it on your iPhone and iPad.

For your outlook (depending on the version) you can sent the reply to or send as options to show your outbound email as coming from migilor.co.uk

Set all devices to leave a copy of mail on server that was all devices will receive it

i have changed my pop3 config on all devices to IMAP accounts.

seems to be working so far, and a lot faster mail delivery. almost instant.

I would love to be able to see sent items over all devices but i cant seem to figure that one out yet

Doesnt work. Its marked as read when the first device has opened it.
The only way to get email on multiple devices is via IMAP.

I think ive got it sorted now.

Changed the destination of all sent mail to a public folder called "public sent" which i will use as my sent emails.

Which....shares all sent items across all devices.

So magic...thanks again guys for the input! :)

the 1st device doesn't open it? it takes a copy leaving an unopened copy on the webmail, allowing the other 2 devices to do the same.
