Hi all,
We have configured office365 exchange mail account in iPhone, iMacAir, MacBook & iPad. Whenever I received an email, I can able to receive it in all the devices. But if I read the email in iPad or MacBook mean, it won't change the read mail. its shows an Unread mail in iMacAir and iPhone.
Either its problem in devices or Exchange Activesync issue?
Could you please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun
None of these fixes work. Rebuild rebuilds inbox once, but does not synchronize after. Synchronise all accounts does nothing. Deleting and reestablishing exchange account – the same.
Is there any other idea. Synch worked before Sierra.
If i have an email on my iPhone, when i open my mac it disappears. if I leave my email open at home, I will not receive emails from exchange on my phone???
