An active email account in Outlook is required to set up iCloud

I have just installed the iCloud windows desktop tool it can see that i have contacts and calendar enteries in Outlook but doesnt reconsie that i have active email accounts working through outlook.
I have 3 email accounts running through Outlook 2 that are POP and one that is using the outlook connector for hotmail.
Any suggestions???

I don't think it will sync POP accounts. Follow the link in this reply, hopefully that helps.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16356002#16356002
My current workaround looks like this:
Set up GMAIL account(s)
Forward POP account(s) to GMAIL (and us IMAP)
Set up Outlook and iPhone to use GMAIL IMAP accounts
Use iCloud (if I can ever get it to work) to sync calendar and contacts
I tried Google for calendar and contacts, but the free version only allows one calendar. For contacts, I had to use the business version (not free) and it doesn't play well with iPhone/Outlook cagegories/folders.
Hope that's helpful.

How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only". Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
Capt. Dinosaur

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
“Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
First, create the account in Outlook: -
Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
In the Outgoing server field, type
nomail.
Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
Deselect the option to
Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
Click on the
Finish to return to Outlook.
Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
Send and Receive Settings for this account.
Press
Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
Click the
Edit button.
Select the receive-only account, then deselect
Send Mail Items.
Click on the
OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Two email accounts and outlook integration

Hi, all-
We are using the Outlook Integration in B1 version 2007A p. 42. My Outlook version is 2007. We are morphing to emailing invoices to customers instead of snail-mailing them. My problem is I have an accounting user that has 2 email accounts as we run different divisions in B1 all out of the same company. B1 does not give her the option to choose what email account to send from - it simply sends from her default email account. This causes a huge problem as she has to manually switch her default email account in Outlook every time she sends for a different division. This is prone to huge human error issues.
All of our business partners are assigned by division using a division designation stored in a UDF.
Question: is there any way I can configure B1 to somehow send this division designation to Outlook, and can I configure Outlook to read this field, add the proper divisional signature to the email, then send it through the proper account?
Thanks,
Shelby

Maybe you should ask on a Microsoft forum rather than one dedicated to the using the iPhone in an enterprise environment.

"Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up ICloud"

When I click the boxes in Icloud to sync the Outlook calander and Contacts I get the message "Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up Icloud" I have an hotmail account synced up into my outlook. Am i doing something wrong or is this an issue apple needs to fix.
I am running Windows 7 pro with 64bit and outlook 2010

johnfromfort dodge: I can't access your latest reply for some reason, but I'll respond anyway.
I'm using both the calendar and contacts with Outlook 2010 on two PCs & iPhone 3GS and it works fine. I had trouble at first getting it to recognize Outlook on my main PC, but when I installed it on my husband's, it worked the first time.
When I finally got it working on mine, I did get a mess of a calendar, but I just deleted what it imported, then replaced it with my backup. I was a bit worried what would happen when my husband's came back online, but it seems to be working great.
Sure, it took some time and frustration, but it's worth it. I've been waiting for a solution like this for a long time. Plugging my phone into iTunes on 2 PCs to keep everything in sync was a drag and that didn't always work seamlessly either.

How do you set up a .mac email account in Outlook?

My .mac email address stopped working in Outlook (2010) on 4/30/12. Is this something to do with the new icloud? I reset my password, but that did not seem to help. I can log in to me.com still, but Outlook still does not recognize something and will not download msg's. Can I still set up an old .mac email account in Outlook? thx

I have a similar problem with my husband's PC. I've finally got iCloud set up for him but Outlook doesn't recognize his iCloud user name/password and won't collect his mail.

Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
Any help would be great.

Hello,
If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

I can't create an email account in Outlook 2013 for my exchange server

Have tried many things on this issue.
I have a new tablet PC running Windows 8. I am able to connect to my Exchange Server account using Windows 8 Mail, no problem but when I have tried to set up an account for Outlook 2013 to connect to the same Exchange Server using exactly the same login
information I cannot get it to connect. I simply get the message that the Exchange Server is unavailable.
I've been able to connect a variety of other devices to the same Exchange Server account without any problem - iPhones, Windows Phone, iPads, etc, etc all without problem. It's just this device and Outlook 2013 seems to be the issue. From checking various
forums seems this is not an isolated issue but I've not been able to find a useful solution so far. Have deleted the user profiles and .ost files, switched off caching etc, all to no avail.
One key difference between the account information required by Windows Mail and Outlook is that in the Windows Mail system I am prompted to enter my domain information. I know this is critical from the information provided to me by our network administration
team but there is nowhere in the Outlook account setup process where I can enter my domain info.
Closest I've been able to get to success is to use the manual account creation process and select the Exchange ActiveSync option - this gets me to the point where I'm prompted for my username and password info but it fails at this step because I am connected
to a local domain (the domain account for the PC) and my user name and password are not accepted. There is nowhere in this login process that I can find where I can enter the correct domain info.
Any ideas on a solution would be very much appreciated - I use Outlook extensively in my work and whilst the Windows 8 Mail system is good, it doesn't have the level of functionality I need.
Many thanks
Wayne.

Have managed to solve this with your help Martina regarding using the domain\username combination.
Here's the solution in detail in case anyone else is having similar problems.
From control panels - select the User Accounts and Family Safety item, then the Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2013) item and then the Email Accounts option.
Select the Email tab and click 'New... button to create a new email account
Choose the standard Email account option in the following form. (Not the 'Manual' option'
Enter your Exchange account details - no alterations necessary here. just your standard details.
As the account verification proceeds you are prompted to again enter your username and password details. In this form, instead of using the top option with your username already populated, click the lower 'Other user' option and enter your domain\username
details. This changes the domain. Enter your password as usual.
I was prompted to do this twice - same each time. Enter domain\username in the username field and usual password
Account is then created.
Open Outlook to complete the process and synchronise data with Exchange.
Hope this is helpful to others - again, many thanks for your assistance Martina.

How to Setup a BT Yahoo email account with Outlook...

On Add Account Auto Account Setup Complete the information that is being asked for, when completed select Manual setup or additional server types, then click Next
On Add Account POP and IMAP Account Settings.
Complete user information that is being asked for, make sure that POP3 is selected in Account Type.
Under Logon Information User Name is your eMail address not your name as it used to be, complete this section with your Password. In The Deliver new messages to either use New Outlook Data File, if you have an Existing Outlook Data File select this option and browse to find its location on your Computer. When completed press Next.
In Internet E-mail settings -Outgoing Server tick the box against My outgoing server (STMP) requires authentication. Use the Test the account Settings and that's it DONE
If you have any problems let me know and i will eMail you some screen shots

Peer-to-peer guidance like this can be very useful, but I can't help thinking why would anyone wish to set up a new email account with BTYahoo. (Or even Yahoo.) Even if it were possible, which I doubt, given that BT is quitting Yahoo, and BTYahoo is dying, who on earth would wish to create the possibility that a brand new email address will get embroiled in the email migration and SMTP problems that seem to be building?

ICloud email account and Outlook 2010 - can receive but not send email

I've set up Outlook 2010 with iCloud email account. I receive email, but cannot send. Get the message "You don't have permission..., right-click and make default..." Which I have done. Still doesn't work.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible that your Internet service provider requires you to send on a certain port with a certain name.
The outgoing server name should start with imap...
If you have a service that requires you to send via a different server - then use that server to send, but log on to it with your usual name (for example you might send from an AT&T Yahoo! server on the ports they recommend if you have AT&T DSL and login with something like [email protected] for the outgoing server - but you can probably still set the From Address to [email protected]). Actually I haven't needed to make this change for my iCloud account, but the change I did have to make was to change the outgoing server name from p08.imap... to imap... - the iCloud client software did not install the right incoming or outgoing mail server names.
If that fails - set up a New Outlook.pst file - from the file menu.

How do I setup iphone to access my business email account on Outlook 2003?

I imagine this has been asked many times but I could not readily find the info in a clear manner. I would like to set up my iphone so it can access my company email, which is Outlook 2003. They use an MS Exchange server. Any specific instructions would be very much appreciated. (I do not know much about email servers, etc.)

FYI - although Outlook 2003 also includes calendar and address book functions, this is called an email client which is used to access an email account or multiple email accounts.
The only way to access an Exchange account with the iPhone is as what is called an IMAP account and the Exchange Server administrator must enable IMAP account access on the Exchange Server.
So you need to contact whoever at your company is responsible for this and ask if IMAP account access is enabled on the server and if not, are they able to do so. If so, you get the required account setup information from this person also such as the incoming and outgoing mail server information in order to access the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's email client or with any non-Microsoft email client.

Two Exchange email accounts in Outlook - one doesn't send correctly

Hello. I currently have two Exchange email accounts added to my Outlook 2010. The second email is shared by a fellow coworker. Since I added the second account, I've received synchronization errors in my Unread folder. Normally,
I've ignored these as there wasn't any actual functionality errors with Outlook.
Once in a blue moon though, the sync errors stop and I'm no longer able to email from/as that second email. Instead, it simply gets stuck in the Outbox where it never actually goes through. In the past, I've done a mish-mash of using the Repair
Tool on both OST files and clearing offline items for both Inboxes.
I was never actually sure if either of the above methods was the actual fix but Outlook eventually let me send emails again from the second account (and once more resuming the flow of synchronization errors). Now though, it seems like neither
of those remedies actually work anymore.
I've searched online to no avail of what might be the cause of this. Is anyone familiar with what might be going on? I'm guessing part of the issue is because the second email is shared between two people and across multiple devices?

Hi,
What synchronization errors have you received? The only thing I can think of on Exchange side is
Open Item Limit or Session Limits.
On outlook client side, this issue can be caused by numbers of possibilities such as Addins/the outlook profile.
And your two methods (clearing offline items will clear items from local .ost file) are related to OST files, so I suggest to create a new .ost file and synchronize the folders by the following steps:
Exit Outlook.
In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
On the E-mail tab, select the Exchange account, and then click
Change.
Clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
Click More Settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Offline Folder File
Settings.
Click Disable Offline Use, and then in the dialog box that appears, click
Yes.
Again, click Offline Folder File Settings.
Click OK.
In the dialog box that appears, click Yes.
Under Cached Exchange Mode Settings, select the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
Click OK, click Next, and then click
Finish.
In the Account Settings and Mail Setup dialog boxes, click
Close.
Start Outlook, point to Send/receive on the Tools menu, and then click
Send/Receive All.
In addition, we should check this issue via OWA.
Also make sure that your account is not downloading the cache of the shared mailbox. Go to
account settings in outlook, more settings ->
advanced tab and uncheck download shared folders. Restart Outlook.
If this issue persists next time, I suggest to post on
Outlook Forum for more professional help about Outlook client side issue.
Best Regards.

Why did iCloud collect ALL my email accounts on Outlook 2010 [windows 7] into a single while removing all categories and emptying emails from all individual e-mail accounts? Don't they test their app? Who pays the cost to restore the Outlook program sys?

After searching everyone elses similar problems for the past year, I am sure Apple is responsible for all the 1,000's of hours of IT specialist while the correct Apple's App Disaster. Microsoft Enterprise programs should be give much better support.
Any computer company who doesn't vet their software should be held responsible.

R1: Seems you didn't configure you email account in your Outlook client properly. please refer to the following KB article and try to create a new mail profile to configure your email account again:
