Are you talking about an iCloud email address, and is it turned on (the same address) on both devices?

They should sync, though it may not be instantaneous.

Mail that is pushed will go to each device, but will not be removed until you actually open Mail and give it a few seconds to sync. Only new mail is pushed automatically. Deleting or moving mail requires an actually sync, which does not happen in the background.

I'm not familiar withe that account type. It is basically hotmail in Australia, yes?

If you've set both devices up using the default Hotmail setup they should work. Try deleting and re-adding the accounts. That sometimes clears up problems.


Hotmail can also be set up as an Exchange account, which might work better. If you do so I recommend doing it on both devices.

I don't have a Hotmail account myself, so that's about all the help I can give.
