Sync or remove content using iTunes Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer with a USB cable. Click the device icon in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window. From the list under Settings on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the checkbox next to each item that you.
Start using your @icloud or @me email on all devices (not the pop, remove it). Go to your pop account from the web and forward emails from there to your @icloud or @me email. Now, when an email comes into your pop account, it will be forwarded to your @me or @icloud account. From there it will go to all your apple devices. If you read it, it will be seen as read on all devices. If you reply, you will see the reply on all devices. Pop is so 90's.
As the other person mentioned, moving from pop to imap will also fix the problem. You just need to setup the imap servers on all the apple devices.

For instance if I send an email from my Air using OSX Mail and my Apple email address. I have no record of this email having been sent when I look at the sent mail boxs on my iPhone or iPad. And the same if I've sent the mail from the iOS device it doesn't show up on the laptop sent mail folder? Can't see a trick around this, any ideas? Thanks This solved my question by dawnrazor on Jul 31, 2012 11:39 PM okay found it. This only pertains to iCloud accounts iOS devices SENT folder defaults to the device.
So an email sent from your ipad will be kept on the iPad only. To change this you need to dig a bit. On your laptop: open Mail preferences, select Accounts at the top and select your iCloud account. And select mailbox behaviour, tick the check box for sent messages, make sure the delete option is set to never. Okay on each iOS device: settings / Mail,contacts, calenders / iCloud / account / advanced / advanced / sent mailbox the default for sent mailbox will be on my ipad/iphone. Change this to Sent Messages. Do this on both iphone and ipad and now your sent mailbox will be mirrored across your ipad / iphone / laptop / iCloud website.
Easy when you know how. See the answer in context I have this question too (1) Reply Categories: Mail.

I don't know if this helps, but I thought I would document it here. I was having similar issues about trying to get all my Apple devices in-sync.
Especially if I deleted mail and had to keep deleting all across the board. I am on IMAP so it should have synced. But I couldn't figure out why it wasn't. Finally discovered the solution. In you iPhone and iPad device, you need to update the default settings for mail. Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendar -select the email account - Select Advance (at the bottom of form) - Mailbox Behavior! Under behavior, you will notice that the default setting is to save on my iPad/iPhone.

You need to change this to ON THE SERVER for each folder (DRAFTS, SENT, DELETED and ARCHEIVE.) This will keep your mail synced. I think Apple uses that as their default as they aren't sure if people are backing up their email. I know when I delete my messages, I want it gone. Hope this helps future generations as well as you.
I ran a biz providing tech support for over ten years, had over 150 business clients and supported both mac and PC. To keep my mac users happy and minimize frustration, I would always hook them up with a account. Google apps or gmail was also an OK choice. For the average user, however, these options will require some help to get set up properly if you want to use your own domain. Look for a local tech support company or check with Craigslist to see if there are any cheap techs in your area. I have tried iCloud without great results: My clients wanted something that would synch email, calendar, contacts and sometimes notes. ICloud was fine for email I guess, but getting everything else coordinated was either a frustrating act or unavailable.
My TalkTalk email account was on POP3 (incoming port 110) and therefore didn't sync across devices for deleting emails. After saving emails I wanted to keep to my iCloud account I then went into Settings, Mail and deleted my original TalkTalk account and set up a new TalkTalk email account but this time as IMAP (incoming port 143). Now everything syncs with action on one device syncing across all devices. No help forthcoming from any helplines so once I had found the incoming port codes from the TalkTalk website I worked out how to do it myself and after years of frustration am now relieved and happy! Hope this helps and works for you.

Syncing your Apple iPhone, iPod or iPad with iCloud is an easy process, once you know what steps to take. We originally posted this blog with the iOS 6 interface, so today we’re updating it to the new look of iOS 8. It will be the same step-by-step process with numbered instructions, and visual aids.
I promise it’ll be easier than putting together Ikea furniture, and you’ll probably never need to look at this post again! The below instructions are good for all generations of Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad.
The iCloud sync option screen will appear. You will be prompted to either “Merge” or “Don’t Merge”. Merge means that your content (contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, etc) from both your iCloud account and your iOS device will exchange information. For example: if you have one contact on your phone and four contacts on your iCloud account, both iCloud and the phone will end up with the same 5 contacts.
If you choose “Don’t Merge”, content from iCloud will replace what you have on your iOS device (using the same example as above, “Don’t Merge” will overwrite the one contact on your phone and you will end up with the four contacts from iCloud and lose the one that was on the phone). It is always recommended to “Merge”. At this point, your iOS device will sync its content. By default the sync Notes feature will not be turned on unless your Apple ID is an @me.com or @icloud.com account. If you would like to sync notes, and your Apple ID is not one of these types of email accounts, simply turn on the sync Notes option and you will be prompted to create a free @icloud.com account.
Step 7: Back up your data iCloud offers the option the backup your content to iCloud. This should be done to save your camera roll, text messages, settings, and anything that isn’t synced to iCloud (except for media such as music, videos, and podcasts). The likelihood of needing this is slim but it should be used just in case you lose or break your iOS device, or if you buy a new one and want to keep the apps, music, videos, etc., that you’ve already downloaded.
