Re: IMAP - why doesn't access to same inbox from 2 separate Macs sync ?

[Steven Knowles]

Forget this one - problem appears to have repaired itself after  
quitting Mail and restarting. Why I didn't think of doing that earlier  
I don't know.


Sorry to have wasted everyone's time.

Subject: IMAP - why doesn't access to same inbox from 2 separate  
Macs sync ?


Using latest MacOS and Apple Mail as email client.

I've set up a mailbox using IMAP, as I needed a communal inbox, I  
accessed by more than user.


My understanding is that what I see in my local inbox should be a  
mirror of what's on the host server (which in this case is  
Netregistry, the route I've chosen to take for now).


If I access the same inbox from a separate Mac, my understanding is  
that I should see exactly the same thing as what I see from the  
other Mac.


However, I am seeing two different inboxes, depending on which Mac  
I'm looking at. For instance, I have a particular message in one  
inbox, but I don't see that inbox in the other, despite checking all  
Mail settings are the same, and despite forcing a Mailbox >  
Synchronize on both Macs.


Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a setting somewhere,  
eg. outside of Mail, which I should also be considering?


All tips appreciated.

Cheers, Steven
