How to setup email account on mail app?

I currently have an ".edu" account that I usually log-in through a browser.
I usually place my email username in mail.office365.com then redirects me to adfs."school here".edu
Then I usually do the actual login username and password for the organizational account.
We are currently using the Outlook Web App on our school email.
So, I don't know how to use this .edu account for the mail app in Windows 8.1.
Is there any manual settings to add a microsoft account in windows 8.1?

Hi,
Did you mean that you want to add a “.edu” account to Mail App (Tile)in win8.1, if so, please open mail app, move mouse to the right edge, click Settings>Accounts>Add an account>Other Account.
But to get started with Mail app, you need a Microsoft account, see detailed information in this link:

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

How do flagged emails in iOS Mail app sync with Gmail Starred emails?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the "Flagged" mailbox on iOS mail interacts with Gmail's "starred" messages. It seems that messages that I star on Gmail and then archive do not show up in the Flagged mailbox on iOS, and that only starred messages that are still in my inbox show up. Is that correct? DOes anyone know a workaround to get starred and archived messages to show up?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but the Gmail app is not the solution. I have three different accounts, and I want to have just one folder where all my flagged/starred emails are collated. I don't want to be jumping between different accounts.

How to setup email accounts (Gmail, yahoo) in Noki...

Hi,

Thanks in Advance.

There are a few ways you can set them up but My fav is IMAP. You can set up multiple mailboxes. Use the link below for the instruction to set up Gmail.
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78887
The to set up Yahoo, use the same procedure as Gmail above but use the following settings.
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP
Mail Box Type : IMAP
Security (Port) : Off
Port : Default
Outgoing IMAP Mail ServerSetting :

How to setup email account

I can't find the setup for that anywhere. How do I do it? I've seen hreads about you needing a dataplan and what ever, does that mean if I don't have that I can't use the email function?
I would think it would be able to synk with windows live mail but no. Sense outlook no longer exist its only able to synk my contacts I have.

Hi there!
Here is a demo to follow:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email
However, if in the BIS configuration wizard (usually accessed via Setup > Email Settings) only shows Enterprise email, then you don't have an adequate data plan from your carrier to enable the enhanced BB Push email. You will need to contact them to find out what plan you need from them (at whatever fees they charge) to enable access to their Blackberry Internet Service. Typically, it's called The Blackberry Data Plan -- generic data plans are usually not sufficient to enable access to the enhanced BB services hosted by your carrier.
Good luck and let us know!

Mail on my touch locks email account on Mail.app on Mac

When I use the mail application of the touch it locks up the account on my Mac in Mail.app. Is there a way to prevent this and still use the email on the touch?

This appeared to be caused by the fact that I keep all my email on the email server for at least 30 days. and It took time to process all of my email.

Need to import 20 email accounts from Mail.app to my iPhone 6.

HI,
At one time I would see a listing in iTunes of all the email accounts I could import into my iPhone 4.
I did that for a while but then was running low on space and deleted all the email accounts on the phone.
Now I have an iPhone 6 with more room and want to import the accounts.
But the listing is no longer shown in iTunes. (must have gone away in one of the updates).
I have iCloud linking my Safari tabs across my devises so I think iCloud is running properly.
Is there a quick way to get the accounts into my phone? Or do I have to add them one at a time?
Thanks for any tips/info.
DA./

It does sound like the index is corrupted - if the messages aren't in the index, then the fact that they're in the mbox still won't let mail see them.
Are there a lot of messages that are missing?
if it's not too many - then open each one from the mbox-messages - then click message-move to from the mail menu & "move " them to the folder they're already in - after that they'll be visible in the mail app. actually , choose "move to xxx again" - it saves time. It doesn't matter if you do this to a message that is already visible in mail.
I don't know a quick way to do this - but you can select multiple messages from the library & ctrl-click-open which at least opens a load at once.
moving them in finder, or trying to import from a copy of the folder doesn't help.
There's probably a much easier way - try some serious searching of these discussions.

Unable to setup Yahoo account in Mail.app.

Everything worked ok till a couple of days ago and now keep getting error messages saying unable to connect to server. This is the latest message.
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “yahoo.com.au” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The settings are all correct!
The server returned the error: (#AUTH701) Service is not available; please try again later.
A pop up box also keeps appearing asking for password

That was the first thing I tried!. Despite several deletions and trying to reinstall, I still get the error messages. In the mail app all the accounts (google, hotmail and yahoo) show up but there is a little symbol next to yahoo. When you do a diagnosis the messages appear saying that Mail is unable to log into server. I think the problem must be with Yahoo because the other accounts work fine and so did Yahoo till 3 days ago.

TS4002 My iCloud email account in mail.app keeps been 'disconnected' despite me having full internet access...

As description,
I keep having issues where mail.app keeps losing collection to the icloud account for no apparent reason, even though I have full Internet access?
any ideas?

Sorry David,
Really appreciate your help did not mean to confuse things.
I am having issues primarily with mail.app in osx (keeps diconnecting)
most of the time mail comes through to my iphone/ipad with no issues. However sometimes I have push issues with the iphone, it breaks until I close and reopen the mail app in ios (I belive this is an issue some others have)
The issue with ios started when i transitioned to iCloud from MobileMe (was .mac previous to this) the issue with osx only staretd with Mountain Lion?
Hope this is now clear. (Could the issue be server side, apples end?)

TS4002 canot setup email account in MAIL

I'm trying to setup an Email address (me) on mac book pro mac os Mail
however when i logn on ICLOUD it does work so it's probably setting issue but which one ???

If your using OS X Lion version 10.7.2 or later, follow these instructions to set it up automatically: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. Just sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then check Mail.
If you're using OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or Leopard (10.5), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html. If you have Tiger (10.4), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail2.html.

How to exclude an account in mail.app from time machine

Is it simply a matter of putting the account's folder from user/library/mail/ into the exclusion list on the time machine pane?
thanks

If you mean one Mac user, yes.
If you mean only one mail account for one user, then you need the proper sub-folder.
Note that +Address Books,+ however, are in each user's +/Library/Application Support/AddressBook+ folder.

Only 1 of my Mail accounts in mail.app won't show up in itunes!?

Hi,
So I have three email accounts in mail.app. 1 mobileme, 1 IMAP, and 1 Exchange. The MobileMe and the IMAP will show up in my mail accounts list in itunes, but my Exchange account doesn't show up. I was able to manually create the exchange account on my iPhone, so it's not a huge deal, but still... any ideas?
Thank,
Lou Teti

lou tetl,
The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Exporting Entourage Account to Mail.app

I'd like to export my Entourage settings for an Exchange email account into Mail.app. When I open Mail.app and try the "import" option, it doesn't do anything. I have tried copying the information under the settings for this particular Entourage email account into Mail.app, but am unable to connect to the Exchange server.

I'd like to see this too. I got a new job and CAN NOT get MAIL to work, but the account settings work in ENTOURAGE. I ONLY NEED TO IMPORT THE EMAIL ACCOUNT - NOT the contacts, calendar, etc.
CAN I IMPORT AN EMAIL ACCOUNT - (NOT a "Mailbox")
HELP & THANKS!

How do I setup multiple emails accounts on mail for mac pro ?

Multiple mail accounts? With mail.app? It doesn't matter what mac it is? Just set up accounts with Mail.app preferences --> Accounts --> '+', fill in the relevant info.

Outgoing email completely lost (Mail app with Gmail account) - Insanely awkward

This is gonna be hard to explain as I have no "evidence" but here's what happened for the 3rd time now in the last 2-3 months on Yosemite using a Gmail account from Mail app.
I write a mail (either reply or new one), send it and it get's completely lost. Can't find it anywhere neither from within the Mail app nor in Gmail's web interface. No error message, nothing. At first I thought I closed my laptop too soon after I hit the send button. I don't even know how to Google this issue, most of the similar issues and resolutions talk about SMTP and/or authentication errors, but again I don't have any error message.
In one instance the message was indeed not delivered, in another one (that just happened to me yesterday) the recipient received the message but I still can't find it.
Anyone ever experienced the same?
While this is very low amount of occurrence, it is still very very annoying and creates awkward situations in a business context. I always think people who say "I have sent the message, haven't you received it?" are lying because there's no way an email gets lost like this.. And now I'm the one for the third time that asks this the other party.
Anyone knows a way I could trace a message from some log file or anything? Any suggestions, insights are welcome.
Thanks
Dan
