How to sync MacBook and iPhone mail?

I recently bought a new macbook. I've set up the mail with my gmail account, and everything seems to be working except when I read an email on my iphone, it stays unread on my macbook and vice versa. Is there a way so that they 'see' each other and will know when I have read an email so I don't have to go through my emails twice?

Make sure you have set the sync option at Gmail settings

Open Gmail, and then click on the Help Tab.

And then, read all about Deleting Emails.

Gmail does NOT actually call this SYNCING.

And the domain name is registered with fatcow.com. Any help is appreciated!

  • How to sync my music on my iPhone and MacBook? Ever since iOS 7 came out my music has been in shambles. I can't delete old songs on my iphone because of the cloud I think. And every time I plug my iphone in to my Mac book a bunch of deleted music pops up in my library on both devices. Help me sync, delete and organize my music please.
  • Changed my PC to a macbook pro and now can't sync itunes to iPhone? Hi! I recently got a new macbook pro and was previously using a PC, i had hundreds of songs on my itunes and managed to get them all onto my new mac through my dropbox so they are all now on there, including many new songs i didn't have on my old PC. I tried to sync my iPhone with this new mac and none of the new songs went on, and i noticed it wasn't really syncing properly it was very quick. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong and help me get my new songs onto my iphone?
