Outlook for e mail on iPhone

I use Outlook for e mail on both iPhone and iMac.


I want to know if there is a way to sync Outlook on the iPhone with the iMac.

For instance, if I open an e mail and delete it on the iPhone can it also be deleted on the iMac.


Thank you!


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Hello Abby-

You have MS Outlook app on your iPhone and on your iMac. That synch feature that you mentioned is dependent upon the email service provider and type of protocols used to retrieve email (For example, POP, IMAP etc). There are also server side settings involved such as whether to delete the emails after read etc.

If you have a Gmail account and is setup in your Outlook app on your iPhone and your iMac then you will see that it synchs up very well.
