I am not new to Macs but do have a question that would be suitable for this forum. I have researched it and cannot find the question.
I would like my email on my MacBook to sync with my iMac. It did this (as did my iPhone) and now they have quit. I don't quite care if the iPhone doesn't as I rarely check email there. And I do not know why the MacBook quit. They are iMap accounts.
I would like to know what actually takes place when you go under mail preferences and, under "mailboxes" click on "synchronize" or "synchronize this account." And then choose which email account you need to synchronize.
My rather ignorant question is which device will synchronize with what? I do not want my iMac synchronizing with my MacBook or my I Phone. I want them to synchronize with my iMac.
All the appropriate boxes are checked under "Accounts" I think under the MacBook and the iMac. I have not checked under Accounts my yahoo account because I don't want all my thousands of emails on my yahoo account loaded again onto my computer.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks guys.
