Major Mail issue

[scouser75]

Guys, something very odd has happened to my Mail on my Mac. ALL the emails I've deleted over the last 2 weeks or so has reappeared in my Inbox. But on my iPhone all is as it should be.

So, right now, I have 27 emails on my iPhone (which is correct). But on my Mac I have 93 emails.

What has gone wrong?

Which email provider? How are the accounts set up on each device?

Funnily enough, it's an Apple .mac email address, using the Apple Mail app.

That is odd. Have you tried logging out of iCloud on the Mac and logging back in?

Yup. Signed out of icloud on Mac and iPhone and then back in and still no luck.

Mail on Apple is seriously atrocious right now. It's difficult running a business as it is, but with issues like this and also the ongoing reminders and Calendar sync issues, I'm seriously thinking about moving my email elsewhere. But then will have to go through the arduous and risky process of informing EVERYONE of the new details!

EDIT: I've realised that if I delete an email or move and email to another folder on the Mac, the changes will cut across to the iPhone. BUT if I delete or move an email on the iPhone, it doesn't cut across to the Mac Mail app. So looks like the Mail app on Mac is broken.

Just noticed something. Can someone please see if they notice the same thing too in the picture below. It's of 2 emails within my .mac Inbox on my Mac.

I deleted the AVForums email on my iPhone but the deletion did not cut across to the Mac....

Hi All,

Firstly, sorry, the image in my post above didn't show so here it is again. Do you notice what I noticed?

And last night I realised even more issues:

* My messages app didn't show the contact names of the people who'd sent the message. Only showed their phone number.

* I found a very very very old email had been moved into my Junk box.

* In iTunes, it shows that my phone has never been backed up, but I only recently backed it up!

* My email and Reminders notifications had turned themselves off.

Something most definitely isn't right. Have I been hacked?!?!?! Not sure, but I am worried. Hence I'm minded to wipe the phone and start from scratch!

Guys, may I ask for a favour please? If anyone is using an iCloud / .mac email address along with a Mac and iPhone, could you please check if your Push emails are coming through as they should be on your Mac and iPhone?

As we all know, things are broken, but day-by-day they just seem to get worse. I now no longer get Push emails on my iPhone or Mac. Not even a notification of new email on time. Today, email notifications are between 20-30 minutes since the email was first sent.

To receive emails, I need to go into the Mail app on iPhone and then wait for the mail to come through. On the Mac, I need to click the Get New Mail box.

Ridiculous!
