How can I add/change e-mail account password? How can I test the account?

For several days I have been unable to send or receive messages using Thunderbird. Works OK with another mail client. This problem started right after installing a security update 24.4.0 (20140316131045). I went to Options/Security/Passwords and deleted all the saved passwords. When I try to download messages, however, the system is not asking me to enter a new password. Thunderbird regrettably lacks a "Test" button to test access to the accounts.
Any suggestions?

If you're not being prompted for the password Thunderbird is unable to reach the server.
Verify your firewall settings and make sure Thunderbird isn't blocked.
You can easily verify your password using webmail.

    I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

    how do I save changes in mail accounts preferences? I add and delete mail accounts but when I close and then reopen mail, my changes are not saved, despite messages within the mail window saying that my changes are saved.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again.  However, all of my received e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

    After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail.  I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails.  However, all of my historical e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

    How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

    You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the  preconfigured options.
    Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
    If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

  • Re: BB curve-8520 :Unable to see the option "add existing e-mail account" in the e-mail set up wizard

    Hi there!
    This is Md. Ashikur Rahman purchased a BB curve , model-8520 from India. Now I am in bangladesh & my service provider is Grameenphone. In the e-mail setup wizard I can see only one option which requires BB enterprise password to complete the set up. I think the other option- 'Add existing e-mail account' is locked.
    My service provider is unable to unlock. How can I use that option so I can complete my e-mail set up & comunicate over internet?
    Thanks.
    Ashikur

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Your service provider is exactly that...the provider of all of your services. If they cannot delivery PUSH email to you (or, for that matter, any other BIS-level services), then there's nothing anyone else can do.
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP?

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP so as not to have to create a new account?
    Thanks

    GMail offers both without you have to pick one or the other? If so, and changing the server doesn't work then you will need to re-establish the account in Mail. Don't delete the old account (or you will lose any downloaded messages) - there's no reason why you shouldn't have both available. You can move the messages from the POP account to another folder and then delete it.

  • Unable to add my E-Mail Account to the HP Eprint App on my Iphone 4S

    I have Cox E-Mail.  I do receive email on my Iphone, no problem.  I have installed the HP E-Print App, everything works fine except I cannot add my E-Mail Account. Always comes up (Unable to Verify).  I have my mail set up on two different computers, all using the same settings. I have spoken to Cox, tried setting up IMAP or POP account, always the same results, Unable to Verify.  Is there a problem with the App? 
    I set up the following:
    Email:  [edited by Moderator]
    Description:  My Email
    Password:  (my password I have always used)
    Hostname: pop.east.cox.net, (also tried pop.cox.net,  IMAP.cox.net)
    Port: 110  (also tried 993, 995)
    SSL:  Off  (Also tried On)
    I also entered the exact same settings I use on the Iphone to receive mail.
    Any help will be appreciated,  Thanks
    This question was solved.

    I just read your post after having a similiar issue and trying to make sense of why the settings provided weren't working on either the IMAP or POP email servers.
    Here are the settings that worked for me:
    Email: Username only (Don't use the entire email address)
    Description: Your choice
    Password: Email password
    Hostname: pop.central.cox.net (you might try west or east depending on your location in place of central)
    Port: 110
    SSL off
    Hope this helps.
    I was able to send a document with my iPhone 3GS (old but still works for me) from work to home.
    Cheers!

    Could have to do with home sharing. Try turining off and then back on home sharing on your AppleTV.

  • How can i test the boolean state of button action?

    Hello,
    in as2.0, how can i test the boolean value if a button was
    pressed or not?
    I have a simple function im trying to work with like this...
    button_btn.onRelease = function (success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
    trace("we pressed the button - value is true");
    else {
    trace("value is false");
    working with booleans in this way is new to me - any pointers
    will do - thanks!

    Well, I'm not really that familiar with using video in flash,
    but from what I understand of what you are going for, these are my
    suggestions:
    If the code within your button has scope of the variable you
    are testing for:
    _global.myInfoObject;
    button_btn.onRelease = function(){
    if( myInfoObject.code == (value your are testing for) ) {
    trace("value is correct);
    } else {
    trace ("value incorrect");
    if you aren't in scope you can always maybe forward the
    onRelease function to some handler that is in scope:
    var myInfoObject;
    var release = function(){
    //to do code here;
    button_btn.onRelease = release;
    I hope some of these ideas help a little.
    You can always send your .fla to my email at
    [email protected] and I'll take a look at it.

  • How can we test the camera megapixel?

    Hi All,
    I need to know how can we test the camera megapixel?
    For instance: If i have a 2MP camera how would i test it is 2MP, is there any measurement device or standards for mega pixel?

    1600 x 1200 is 2mp not 1.3. Your friends phone must also be 2mp or the picture was taken on another phone.
    It's easy to work out yourself.
    1600 multiplied by 1200 = 1,9200,000 pixels more commonly known in the industry as 2mp.
    1.3mp is 1280 x 960 (1,228,800 pixels).
    More megapixels does not always equal better quality. The lens and software are also a big quality factor. I have seen many 1.3mp phones that take better pictures than a 2mp phone because they have a better lens.
