Andrea8922, I just added the steps to properly back-out so the settings are saved.

To save the settings:

Click the "Advanced" button on the top left.
Click on "Account Info".
Click "DONE" (do not click Cancel).

Doesn't work. Mail will send out of iPhone and be received at another account but it does not show in sent items or sent messages. My 'sent' folder is still full of sent messages from 12/23 but the only recent message that shows in my sent folders on my iPhone or iPad is the one I sent as a test out of Homestead webmail. Nothing sent out of my desktop Outlook shows - that's not new.

Also getting 'cannot send deleted messages to trash' and periodically, messages that appear in my Outlook but have not been opened yet appear on my iPhone or iPad but do not show as new, show as opened.

Mobiles are iPad 4s updated to IOS7, 2 iPhone 5 updated to IOS7. Old accounts were deleted, new accounts set up as IMAP using HS supplied settings.

Hi Andrea8922, The issue with the deleted emails almost the exact same thing as the sent emails. You may want to look at this thread instead as it includes screenshots.

Can you tell me how many devices you have configured with the email account? If they are all not configured exactly the same way, and there are different designated folders, this will cause syncing problems.

If you still have problems after double checking the configuration on each device let me know. We may need you to take screenshots with your iphone for each step of the configuration so we can see it from our end. Also, another option is to call Apple support. While searching the internet, this seems to be a pretty widespread problem with the Apple devices.

We have 4 mobile devices currently active, 2 iPad 4(s) and 2 iPhone 5(s). All 4 are set up to IMAP, all are running IOS 7.4.1. We have 3 other iPhone 4s that are currently not activated but will be soon. Two of the devices were set up as POP3 but switched to IMAP. If you want screen shots, we can do that.

If you have even 1 device on POP, it will prevent everything from syncing. That is most likely the issue. IMAP leaves all messages on the server so that when you log in with other devices also configured as IMAP, everything is accessible. POP accounts download and remove messages from the server. So then if someone checks with a an IMAP device after messages have been removed, then it prevents the sync from occurring as the server will be missing the messages.

If I delete a POP account and re-add it as an IMAP, will all of my mail for that account (new, old, sent, archived, etc.) still be retained and saved on the server?

I don't even get the "On the Server" option - I have checked all of your other myriad requirements and I am on spot on all of them. Any other suggestions?

Make sure the settings saved correctly. The final steps in the instructions above are critical. If you don't back out correctly, it won't save the settings.

Greg, I don't have an apple device to look at, at this moment, but if I recall, that button is not in a logical location. Can you take a look around the screen (may have to scroll) and see if its there?

Sent e-mail not synching on phone or tablet.

I've updated my e-mail settings on my phone and on my tablet (Outlook 2013). Whenever I send an e-mail on my phone it doesn't sync with Outlook. Before it did with the settings of .homesteadmail.com. I am now using imap.homestead.com. When I send an e-mail from Outlook on my tablet, I have to choose "Save E-mail to Sent Items" every time. If not it will default to send and remain in the outbox - ultimately causing it not to sync. I did not have to do this before either. Every device was in sync with no issues before the change. This is not helpful if I need to refer to a sent e-mail from multiple devices. Is there a way around this?

Did you save, and back out of the program as described above. If you didn't, it won't save the settings.

Are you ever going to fix the Email server so I can send Emails from my Ipad and Iphone? I get incoming emails but outgoing says can't connect to the server! I also cant delete Email from my Ipad or Iphone.

Hi John1338, What you are describing is not a server issue. It has to do with the way that many of the new Apple systems create the email folders. When configuring an IMAP account it now requires you to identify/map the folders on the server rather than the ones that the phone/device creates. See instructions on this page.

Hi. I still have not received a reply from my original post. I am using Outlook 2013 and I have to choose an option of where to save my e-mails every time I send an e-mail from my laptop. If I send an e-mail from my phone, I cannot see them in my "Sent Items" when I log into Outlook.

Sorry for this inconvenience. We are aware of this issue as some mobile devices try to save the sent item to a different folder other. One of the issues is that some mobile devices have a setting that allows you to designate the right folder and others don't. As soon as we have some additional information or some sort of resolution we'll create a help topic here on the community.

Ok. So is there anything that can be done about the issue with Outlook. The sent items are automatically saved in the "Outbox". Why can they not automatically save to "Sent Items"? The Outbox doesn't sync...The Sent Items folder does. Thanks.

Are you by any chance using Outlook 2013 with an IMAP configuration? If so, you may have to delete the account and set it up with a new profile. This page from Microsoft explains how the 2013 version handles the data folders differently than older versions.

If you are using Apple devices follow the steps above. You have to map them to the correct sent folder. For some reason Apple creates their own set of folders and when using IMAP, you have to tell it to use the server folders instead.

The other alternative would be to set your iPhone up with an exchange connection. The directions for doing so can be found here: https://community.homestead.com/homes....

Thanks,

For anyone who is struggling with sending emails, or mapping to the correct sent folder, you may want to consider using the Exhange configuration instead of the POP, or IMAP options. This options has some nice advantages as it not only syncs emails on the server to your device, but also your calendar and contacts.

If you are setting it up as an IMAP account the steps above should fix the problem. If it's something different let us know.

Hi there,

I'm having similiar trouble as some above -- I have mapped the incoming and outgoing server to homestead account and it is verified on my iphone 4, IOS 7.1.1. I did exit as instructed.

I am receiving all incoming messages from my hotmail and homestaed accounts just fine with manual push. None of my sent messages for homestead are appearing on my iphone nor on my homestead email panel folder tree. In fact, there is only the inbox, public, shared folders and sent objects showing on the homestead panel. Where's my sent folder gone?

And is there no search for related messages possible?

Also, could my icloud account on my iphone part of this problem?

Can I actually speak to a tech today instead of typing here?

Thx, Linda

OK. The messages are being delivered, and I tested this with my hotmail account to make sure. Problem is I need to see my replies. I opended arrow to left of inbox and now have full tree, thx, including subfodlers and my sent messages. Problem now is my last sent message displayed is January, 2014. How do I display all the sent messages since then?
