Problems with Apple Mail and iPhone 7 talking to each other

[cbsnbiker]

I have a MacBook Pro 9,2 and an iPhone 7.

How can I get the mail program on my computer to talk again with the mail app on my iPhone, and vice versa?

Mail on both devices used to talk to each other well. For example, if I composed and sent an email to someone from my MacBook Pro, a saved copy of the message would also appear in my iPhone's saved folder, and vice versa.

Recently, this stopped.

This may be related to difficulties I had with Mail on the MacBook Pro last month. I had to rebuild the message index, which also included deleting old files.

How can I get things to coordinate again?

On your top menu MBP with mail open goto Mail then Accounts, iCloud...... that should be the same as iPhone 7, settings, passwords & accounts, iCloud....Both user names should be the same.


You might have to delete your MBP iCloud mail account under mail preferences, it will ask delete in keychain. Then you just add it back in with user name and password. That should do the fix.

I had this happen on a exchange account after a time machine migrate. The only way I could get it to work was delete it from keychain and then add it back.
