Emails on more than one device

HatMan · 8 Oct 2013 at 20:25

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to have email on my PC and iPad to function as below, please?

If I send/receive on the PC I get mail.
Having "just" sent/received on the PC no mail available to iPad
If I send/receive on the iPad "first" mail must still be downloadable to the PC.

Does that make sense? If I get to the iPad first and collect mail I want it to be available to the PC as well if I chose to collect it later. If however I collect on the PC first, I do not want repeats on the PC..

I have a lot of folders and i do not want the folders to be on the iPad as the screen gets cluttered.

Thank you :confused:

Well the usual POP or IMAP. What are you suggesting I need.

Thanks

I have iCloud on both my PC and iPad but am currently not using it.

Am currently set up using normal pop3 accounts supplied by 1and1.co.uk

Am using Office 2013 Business Edition.

Oh I should add, I own my own domains and so want to keep my current email addresses.

Yeah that is an idea. Still not sure how to go about setting the accounts up as I would prefer.

Hmmm interesting. I will try some different methods as suggested and see what happens. Thanks everyone. I will post back my findings.

OK i have given up. What I want is not achievable without a paid for service.

iCloud was a partial disaster. I have around 100 folders in my inbox all but three disappear when iCloud is used. The syncing between devices was also one way. Deleting on the PC, saw the disappearance from the iPad but not the other way around.

Anyway back to where i was. Will simply have to conclude i am too fussy.

Thanks to all that helped.
