[QUOTE="Chris_B, post: 1265847, member: 47263"] I think the first question is what mail protocol are you using? By the sounds of things, if the mail account allows use of IMAP you could use that on all 3 devices and they'll be constantly sync'd together. I currently sync my GMAIL account between my iPhone, MBP and BlackBerry using nothing other than IMAP. The link below might help explain... [url=http://www.apple.com/mobileme/news/2008/11/what-is-imap-and-why-do-we-use-it.html]Apple - MobileMe - News - What is IMAP and Why Do We Use It?[/url] If you are using POP, the email messages are downloaded into the device and stored on the device. (Unless the option is set to keep a copy of messages on the server) Be wary if you switch to IMAP - you'll want to copy your mails from the local devices first. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
