    Hi guys,

    I use an iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and windows pc.

    I read emails mainly on my phone however I do use the other devices from time to time. Is it possible to sync all devices together so that if I read an email on one device it is marked as read on all of the other devices?

    My email account is outlook. I heard IMAP is the thing to sort this but I'm just wondering if any of you have fixed this before.

    Who is your email hosted with. Just asking as some do not provide IMAP only POP3.

    This is very simple. No need for IMAP etc

    Just go to Settings, Mail, Add Account and select the "outlook.com" option at the bottom.

    Do this for each device and your mails will be synced across them all.

    There's also an Outlook app for iOS now which is great.
