When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

Adding a Mail Account on the IPhone

Can any-one help? I am fed up with calling BT!
I migrated onto BT Mail a few days ago and my mail account stopped working on my iphone. So I deleted the account and set up a new one with my new password but it will not accept it.
I decided to try adding it again under my old password and it added the account?!! It is showing my incoming emails but however will not send anything.
So in short ........
Web mail works with my new password not the old one
Laptop works with my new password not the old one
Iphone mail account only accepts my old password and not my new one (apart from outgoing mail)
I am logged in on my laptop as we speak with my new password and can see my emails and at the same time I have my mail account open on my iphone with the old password and can see exactly the same as on my computer.
I have just deleted a email on my iphone and it has shown as deleted on my laptop even though they are both logged in under different passwords.
I do need to send emails from my mobile too which is the only reason I am bothering to try and sort this out :-(
Thank you

I have now added my old password tothe outgoing mail server and I can send emails from my iphone mail account!
My mail account on the Iphone connects with my laptop account but they are both logged in on different passwords! how can this happen?
Thank you

Is it POP or IMAP?

Do parental controls prevent adding a mail account

We have engaged the parental controls for our daughter on her ibook. We needed to add her email account to the mail program, but when we opened the mail program under her account the program seemed to simply crash. We could only add her email through the parental/admin account. Does anyone know if the parental controls prevent the adding of an email address through the non-admin account?

I have now added my old password tothe outgoing mail server and I can send emails from my iphone mail account!

Adding Various Mail Accounts

I just got my MacBook and I am trying to figure out the application Mail...
I have an educatino e-mail account set up through my university and I was wondering if I might be able to link that account to Mail... When I go to my education account, I have to type a user name and a password and then I acces my mail. Because of that, will I not be able to sync Mail to that account?
I also would like to add my Yahoo! account as well as my AOL account..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks-
Nick

Mail is a standard POP & IMAP mail client. You can set up in Mail any mail account that allows either POP or IMAP access, but there is no way for anyone here to know what the specific settings are supposed to be for your education account.
Instructions for setting up an AOL account in Mail, for example, can be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
The instructions are for Mail 1.3, and are somewhat outdated, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x, and that, if I’m not mistaken, you can enable SSL if you wish.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of (which is also somewhat outdated, but still useful to understand how AOL’s IMAP access works):
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Instead of the settings shown in the article for Trash, you may want to turn ON Move deleted messages to the Trash, but in that case you should turn OFF Store deleted messages on the server.
AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved -- that’s why you must turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that they are stored locally instead.
Alternatively to manually setting up the AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
Finally, note that AOL automatically purges your mail from the Inbox after some time. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.

Adding new mail account

Can't create a new account nor from de preferences + tab not from the file menu. The program does anything.

Adding family mail accounts to Mac mail

I have set up my mail account to receive mail from Hotmail. Can I also add my children's mail or is it just for one user?

The Mail app can receive messages from any number of different email accounts at once. However, it might be better to give your children separate user accounts on the Mac with parental controls, and set up Mail for each user accordingly.

Adding existing mail account - Technical problem

A bit of background...
I run my own mailserver (Exim 4) and wish to add my current email account to my blackberry service through T-Mobile in the UK ([email protected])
In order to do this I have to use T-Mobile's webpage to add the account details, however thsi si what is causing me the headache. After adding all the details the webpage runs a script to connect to my server in order to establish a trust relationship (so I am told by T-Mobile tech support) The page produces an error saying "An error occurred during email account verification. Please check your information and try again"
When checking the error logs on my server I see this:-
2008-04-18 15:13:40 SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=mail.bis.eu.blackberry.com [216.9.253.4]
Basically from what I can tell script that runs the verification check does not wait for the usual greetings for each line of input from the server.
I have made the suggested changes to the exim.conf file (googled the error) but I am still having the same problem.
What I need to know is if anyone knows a way to add this account without using my providers webpage?
Regards
Jerry

Have you tried to add from your BB. Just go to SetUp Email on the menu screen on your BB and Click add Email Account. It might work that way.

Adding a mail account for second user

I am the administrator on this imac. I use mac mail and have a mobileme account as well. I have another user on the computer, who has just signed up for mobile me, and wants to retrive her mail from the imac when logged into her account. How do I set up mac mail on the imac, so the app in her doc only reflects her email account? If I add her mobileme address to accounts in mail preferences on the imac, her mail is showing up in my mail page? How can I get the mail app to launch in her account on the imac, and keep it separate from mine? Thanks.

As long as you are logged into her user account on the iMac, then creating accounts in the Mail app should only be her mail.

Adding E-mail accounts

E7-00 Adding BT Mail account

I have successfully set up my O2 and Hotmail email accounts but everytime I try to set up my BT email account, it fails. Is there a way to by-pass the Email Wizard and configure the settings manually. I have the BT account set up on a 5800 and it works perfectly.

When setting up the account , use the email wizard as normal, but when asked to accept the terms and conditions, select NO !! Then you can configure it manually
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

I am unable to access my mail on my IMac after adding another email account. Somehow I manage to knock myself out of the Telus acct that I had recently migrated to my IMac. Any idea of how I can reconnect to my Telus acct?

Hi
I am having trouble accessing my IMac mail after I added another mail account to my list of email accts. I had migrated my outlook acct. from my PC to my IMac and when I went back to use my password it wouldn't let me in. Any ideas of what I should do?

Adding another account would not affect one that you already had. Either the password is wrong, or the server is coincidentally rejecting your credentials for some reason, or you did something different.
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

HT201320 I am the added e-mail on my wife's iPad. I can not delete any mail in trash? Thus Trash is collecting in bin. I can delete trash in her Mail account?

II'm having trouble deleting messages in trash bin in mail, only on the added e-mail account. The primary account functions fine! I note several users are having the same problem!

Hey BSK_AplSprtCm,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Mail account. It sounds like you may need to configure which mailbox is your Trash mailbox. To do so, see the following:
Mail (Mavericks): If messages aren’t stored where expected on the mail server
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14957
If there’s another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you’re looking for, you can have Mail use that mailbox to store messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account’s name and icon) in the Mail sidebar, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For, then choose Drafts, Sent, Trash, or Junk, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to store draft, sent, deleted, or junk messages. If Mail can’t upload messages to a server mailbox, copies of the messages aren’t saved.
Thanks,
Matt M.
