Thanks Paddy. I haven't had the opportunity to try anything yet, bet a little hectic around here lately.
Edit: I just went in and changed the accounts over to manual on the mobile devices. We'll let it run a day or so and see what happens.

Today in pics.  Not very exciting, but I honestly do not want that.  Just me and my little life with my animals.

When in doubt, rescue an animal.  There is no better feeling, especially when they are grateful (unlike some who will remain nameless, aka Lambie, Bert, Ster, etc)

The Shetland ponies go in and out of the containers all the time.  They seem much happier outside, too. All except for Fivla who would like to go back to having 3 hourly buckets of food brought to her.

My very own maneki-neko (招き猫), aka Monster.  He does the waving thing too but mostly with claws for attention.

LOL...I'm a bit late to this party - just posted the Onyx option in the other thread where you mentioned this.

The forward-to-iCloud would be one solution but perhaps not the most ideal. What I don't understand is why your emails aren't syncing across your devices - Gmail is IMAP only now, so anything you do on one device should sync with the other. I've never had an issue with this (6 Apple devices, all synced) but others apparently have and there are a bunch of things you can try:

This solution from June 2024 looks like an easy one to try first:

Hey Fretnicker, I began experiencing these issues last week and toggling from 'Push' to 'Manual' for the gmail accounts on my iPhone (settings > mail > accounts > fetch new data) solved my issues instantly.

I hope this works for you too.  Good luck!

Full post:

I use multiple gmail accounts on the Mail app/prog -- on both my iPhone & MacBook.  Typically, I have no issues with syncing changes made in either direction and was being thrown when the changes I made on my iPhone (deleting, opening, moving to folders, etc.) were not syncing with my MacBook.

I opened webmail (mail.google.com, in this case) and found that the changes hadn't been made there either.

While other threads/solutions may be helpful for others (making sure iOS is up to date, phone restarted, fetched new data / synchronized accts on each device, toggled from deleted to archived in advanced settings), I was nearly to the point of deleting & adding the accounts back ... nearly, but didn't want to go through the hassle.

I'm sure glad I found this thread.  Toggling from 'Push' to 'Manual' for the gmail accounts on my iPhone (settings > mail > accounts > fetch new data) worked immediately.  Changes made on the iPhone synced with webmail and the Mail program on the MacBook in under a minute.

Funny - I never shut any of my Macs down. They just go to sleep. I suspect that the vast majority of folks just do this so Apple decided to simplify the energy preference options. (there are lots of complaints about it being missing in a thread on the Apple forums, which of course, Apple never reads) BUT - Onyx has the scheduling options under its Utilities->Scheduling, which is much easier and friendlier and less likely to cause a disaster than Terminal. Onyx is still a very useful little free app.

Re: the terminal - as far as I know, that's not changed any. Same as always. (?) Never could see

Little Shetland ponies outside now after a very long haul in the shed.  Not better completely but improving very slowly.  Fresh air is better for them too.

Tech / Sync Mail across devices

« Last post by sluggo on November 06, 2024, 04:03:17 PM »

After several years of using Airmail on my Mac I've gone back to Apple Mail. It seems to work much better with SpamSieve.
I also view mail on my iPhone and iPad. Like everyone I get tons of spam every day. SpamSieve does a heck of a job keeping it out of the Inbox but I still need to get into Trash or Junk to get rid of it.
I'd like to have the discarded emails disappear from all 3 devices when I discard them on one device. As it is now I have to go to Mac and delete them. Then to the phone, then the iPad.
If I forward the 4 email accounts that I have ( 2 Gmail and 1 Yahoo along with another private business email) to iCloud Mail, will deleting the offending messages from iCloud remove them from every device and save me doing it in triplicate?
OS 15.1 Sequoia on the Mac, iOS 18.0.1 on the phone and iPad.
