Do mail rules sync across all my devices?
Suggested email solution for Apple Mail to manage across ALL devices - specifically a) managing unwanted junk email and b) setting rules to apply to all devises.
As info:
I found that when I set a rule up with my Macbook, the rest of the devises wouldn’t see the rules kick in until I turned on my Macbook.
___________
This is exactly right. Rules set up in Apple’s Mail program do not apply to other devices UNLESS the application is open and running on the Mac back home.
I think what’s happening is the Macbook sorts the emails out and then the other devises simply sync to the MacBook.
___________
Yes.
I’m assuming I need to set these up at the source somehow but not sure how.

You can’t set up rules on iOS devices. They are slaves to what’s on the server only. No colors, no rules. You can flag and that’s it.
