I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone. My wife has a MacBook Air and an iPhone. Both of us use iCloud email and both have cell plans on Koodo. When I receive an email, it arrives on the Mac Mini first, and then sometime later it arrives on my iPhone. However when my wife receives an email it arrives on her iPhone first and sometime later arrives on her MB Air. This means if it is an email she feels she wants to answer right away, she ends up pecking out a reply on the iPhone screen and misses out using the full keyboard of the MB Air. I am wondering what determines this arrival order. I checked my Settings > Energy Saver and see I have "Wake for network access" which possibly explains why I can always find an email on the (sleeping) Mac Mini as soon as I hear there is one by the tone on my iPhone. i.e. when it finally arrives on the iPhone, I can wake the Mini and it is already there without waiting longer, unlike my wife's situation. I then looked on her MB Air and there is no Settings > Energy Saver section to look at. (Of course, all or our devices are on the latest versions if the OS.) Is there something I can change to alter the order her emails arrive? Perhaps this is a whim of the cell carrier or Apple just having fun with us?
