Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

  • HT1430 Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account to my new iPhone 5?  I think I maybe shouldn't have clicked the 'merge' option for iCloud when I set up the first email account (though am not sure whether that's relevant).  Thanks,

    Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/  When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin.  Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here.  In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

    I don't have any problem with my Google Apps email account, so far. Use complete email address as your user-name like [email protected]
    See if it works, and reply.

  • I am trying to re-set up my email account on my ipad (1st generation) but am having problems.  The mail server is a private one associated with my domain name and it has worked before on this ipad and is currently working on a Nexus 7 tablet.

    The setup on the Nexus tablet asks for port numbers for both incoming and outgoing mail, but the email setup on the ipad does not ask for port numbers. Am I supposed to be inputting the port numbers by inserting them after a colon followed by the port numbers in both the incoming and outgoing mail server fields or is there something else I am doing wrong?

    Hey Garlicdaisy,
    Thank you for the follow up.
    With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.
    For more information, see the following:
    Apple - iCloud - All your music on all your devices.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/
    To download past purchases on your devices, follow these steps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you want the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution:

  • Get option back - "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server"

    Hello,
    I have a Virgin Mobile USA blackberry.  When I go into the Setup Wizard - Email setup the only option I get is "I want to create or add and email address". 
    How do I get the other option that says "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server" back?  This option was there before I activated the phone but is gone now.  No email accounts have been setup yet.
    I am trying to use this phone with a work account.  I have my Enterpise Activation Password but I have no place to enter it.
    Thanks
    Scott

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Have you tried here:

    Given this, I suspect actually that your account, from your carrier, does not include BES. If the above mentioned item is not in your menus, then that would likely confirm this. I suggest you contact your carrier to ensure you have a BES-level account from them.
    Good luck!

  • How do I set up my work email account on my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone by my IT department won't support it. So I have to set-up my email myself. The problem is I'm not sure what info to fill in and where.
    I am able to access my email using remotemail on the web so I'm hoping I can use that info. My details look as follows:
    http://remotemail.company.co.uk
    [email protected]
    I have a user name and password which I use to login which is the same for both remotemail and my network at work.
    I have been trying to use the Microsoft exchange setup option on my iPhone but am struggling.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

    Generally speaking, you need to set up an Exchange account using the Exchange setup option, then fill out the information as listed. The server should be remotemail.company.co.uk with your user name and password being the those that you use to log into your mail site.
    However, you must remember that your IT department holds all the keys to the realm, if you will. Unless they have the proper options checked on your account, such as off network ActiveSync access you will not be able to set the iPhone up with your work email account.
    Do other people in your company access their email using mobile devices? What devices do they use?

  • I am trying to change my apple Id on my iPad from an old work email address to a new one.  I have changed it in FaceTime and on the iPad log in but can't get it to change in iTunes. Any ideas?

    I am trying to change my Apple ID on my iPad from an old work email address to a new personal address.  I have changed it on my new iPad and in FaceTime but can't get it to work in iTunes.  Any ideas?

    If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Unable to set up work email account

    My company went through server maintainence during Christmas and I cannot connect to my work email account through Blackberry.  The IT dept told me that they have not changed the server settings on SMTP or POP3.  They have given me all the user and server details, I tried using these to register through my service provider webpage and it cannot do so.
    My colleague also lost his work account and he managed to reset with the same details and now able to connect.
    The IT dept said they cannot do anymore to help and ask me to contact my service provider.  My service provider said it is problem with our IT dept.  Can someone please help me with this problem as I am getting desperate!
    Many thanks!

    Seems that you need to do enterprise activation again on your blackberry device.
    Contact your corporate Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) admin for the instructions.
    Go to Options - Enterprise Activation
    specify your corporate email address, specify your  BES account password and select from menu "Activate"

    The iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM card. If they were truly on the SIM, re-import them from the SIM.

    I'm trying to add a printer to my account for the first time.  However, when I enter the printer code, the website popup screen errors out and doesn't advance to the next function.  Any idea what's going on with this?

    Hi Dav_gigem,
    When did you print the ePrint info page?
    If it is ok with you please print another info page, and as soon as you print it please enter the code in the ePrint center.
    The reason i m asking you to do this is because the code expires within 24hrs.
    Thanks
