Let me start by saying I'm not an Apple user--really--and I'm not even a
fan. Really. So why am I here, and why amn I on my fourth Macintosh
computer? Because my wonderful and long-suffering wife is hip-deep into
the Apple ecosystem with a phone, Mac and iPad, which means I, of
course, am her first-line support.
That said, here's my question.
If mail rules are set up on one system--say, the computer, do those
rules propagate to other Apple devices? For instance, if my wife uses
the computer to retrieve mail in the morning and the rules are applied,
then she picks up her iPad and retrieves more mail in the evening, does
Apple Mail on the iPad act like there are no rules and dump everything
into the Inbox, or do those rules set up on the computer get applied on
the iPad? If the answer is that Mac Mail rules are global, my problem is
easily solved--set up the folder filter rules on one system and they
happen everywhere. On the other hand, if rules are not global, therefore
not globally applied, I should really set them up on the mail server. So
then, which is it? Set up filters and rules and such on one system and
expect them to be global, or set them up on the front-end mail server
where they really will be global before mail is even fetched?
Thanks in advance.
