Can anyone suggest an email provider where all my emails are synced on both Mail (i.e. online) and on the iPhone? I'm tired of having all my emails downloaded onto the iPhone during the day and then having to delete them all again on my Mac with Mail.

I need to change my email address anyway!

Many Thanks
 
Yeah Im in the same situation as the OP, It does my head in.

I use hotmail and I delete my hotmail messages on my iphone but it doesnt really delete them from the Hotmail inbox on my PC.
 
You're probably using a POP3 account. Use IMAP if your existing provider offers it, or find someone who does (or GMail).
 
This is hilarious.

Just updated to iOS5 and it seems the .Me service is now free so registered for an email on that and it works like a dream.

Cheers guys, might see if I can setup my Yahoo email via IMAP too.
 
Is imap new? It was incredibly easy to setup in Mail for my BT Yahoo account and there was no imap option before.
 
It's worth noting here that for Hotmail users the best solution is to just update your settings to Microsoft Exchange (which Microsoft have supported since late 2010 for Hotmail).

Add a new account in the iPhone mail settings for MS Exchange and use your Hotmail email address as user name and specify the password. It'll then ask you for a server. Use "m.hotmail.com".

You are then good to go on a Hotmail address (works like IMAP).
 
As stated above Gmail works a dream and the new @me works brilliantly too if your happy setting up a new account.
 
iCloud doesn't work with Mail now...

There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.

The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” on port 143 timed out.

This only works for the iPhone / iPad, this won't sync the hotmail being sent / deleted etc from the Mac mail program on his mac.
