Mail - iPhone - Mess

Is imap new? It was incredibly easy to setup in Mail for my BT Yahoo account and there was no imap option before.

No it's not new. It's been around since the mid 90s I think but it's taken a bit of time for the technology to filter into general use for some reason.

Slight hijack, but what do people use in Mac OS Mail for hotmail then? I remember tring the iOS exchange settings out of chance once which didn't work.

Afaik hotmail make it so that you can't use IMAP mail programs? You can setup a pop access but I hate pop.

I'm probably wrong on that assumption however.

Hotmail is a strange one. It works via Exchange activesync on iOS but in OS X.

Use gmail, add the pop3 account into it and connect to gmail via IMAP. - sorted - you can add upto 5 accounts ( with the free version )

Another slight thread hi-jack but I don't think it warrants a new thread. I am using iCloud for my email at the moment. We I get an e-mail I get a notification on my iPhone and also on my MBP. If I read the e-mail on my MBP the notification stays on my phone until I open the mail app. Is there a way for it push the read notification to my phone so i don't have to open the app? It is the same with the facebook app as well. Thanks

The Facebook app is just slow, so not a lot you can do with that.

Again you need to use IMAP not pop3 to solve the issue of reads/deletes not happening on box devices.

Gmail? Imap?

Gmail, configure phone to sync as if the server is ms exchange
