AT&T emails on 10.7.3 MacBook Pro

Out of the blue my 7 AT&T email addresses go offline in Mail. When requested to go online a box pops up requesting passwords and it never stops popping despite checking REMEMBER box. I can access webmail without any problems. Any thoughts?

Go to the KeyChain application and delete all passwords for servers associated with that account. In Mail, check that all settings are correct. Reinput the passwrod information in the preferences. You will get a prompt when checking and sending mail and just save the passwords again in KeyChain.
Are you using POP or IMAP settings? Here are the pop3 settings:
Email Program Settings Field:
Enter:
Incoming (POP)
inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:
POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:
Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected], [email protected])
Incoming mail port #:
995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #
465, secure connection (SSL) checked
In addition, this happens on occasion to me using ATTs email addresses. Probably has trouble getting to the servers on occasion. I just usually close the message box and try again it it goes through. If it happens constantly, then that's a problem.

HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for my blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there. Thanks again!

You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

How do I set up the email on the my new MacBook Pro to receive "me" email

how do I set up the email on the my new MacBook Pro to receive "me" email on my Mac. I would like to use Entourage if possible but anything would be good.
I am not sure this is the right place but I could not figure out where else to post an email ( [email protected] ) question.
Thanks!

Hi Martin,
MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.

Can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

Outlook is an email client and that does not indicate if your email is POP or IMAP. If you have an IMAP email account, all of your emails actions will automatically sync across your devices. If you have POP, it does not work that way.
If you are asking if you can transfer the current emails on the Mac onto the iPad, no you cannot, unless the email is an IMAP account and they can download onto the iPad again from the server.

There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Syncing emails across iPhone, iPad and macbook pro

Can you sync emails across iphone, ipad and macbook pro, so if you delete from one it deletes on all? If you write an email on one it shows up on all? If you store something in a folder or flad something it shows up on all?
Thanks

Syncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

Need some help tweaking email sync between iPod Touch, MacBook Pro, please

I'm hoping there are some settings I can tweak to prevent any already downloaded mail in my MacBook Pro Mail app from being deleted when syncing to my iPod Touch.
For example, I had an email downloaded from an IMAP account onto my MacBook Pro Mail app. The email remained on the IMAP server. I ran a test drive of the iPod Touch for the first time, and it successfully downloaded the handful of items on the IMAP server. I deleted the email in question from the iPod. When I synched the two gadgets, the email also disappeared from my MacBook Pro.
Ideally, I want the MacBook Pro Mail to be the primary archive for all incoming and outgoing emails. When I retrieve email on my BlackBerry, the mail remains on the server - when it downloads to the MacBook Pro Mail app, it just appears with an "already read," no blue dot status. I'd like to use the iPod in the same fashion - to send and receive emails when I'm away from the laptop.
So, I guess the short version of the question is: How do I prevent mail that I delete from the iPod from also being deleted from the MBP?
Thanks,
Tim

I am confused. you can ony sync to one computer/iTunes libray. You can manage music among different computer though. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
What do you mean by "different user's name"? Where is the user's name specified?

How to change email on IPOD Touch for Facetime. I used same email for Facetime on my Macbook Pro

How to change the Email on my IPOD touch for Facetime. I used the same email for my IPOD & my Macbook Pro. Do I need a different email for each device.

Yes, if you want to call one device from another each must have a unique email calling address. Go to Settings>FaceTime and add another email calling address and delete the other one after you set up the second one.
I learned that a long time ago when I tried to call my iPod from my Mac.

I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

ICloud does not update emails in Mail on my MacBook Pro unless Mail app is open

Hi, looking for some advice
Up to a few days ago whenever I started up Mail in my MacBook Pro the e-mails I had received on my iPhone/iPad were pushed through and were visible as read.
Only now unless I have the MacBook runnig with the Mail app open they don't come through.
I can force them to synce if I move the emails on my iphone into a different folder, then back to inbox, but only while the Mail app is running.
It's annoying as one thing I like is being able to read the emails on my mobile devices then reply later from the MacBook when I get home.
I did change my iCloud password recently but it is the same across all devices, I removed the iCloud account from mail and system prefs then added them back but no joy.
I'm fairly sure it all started when I updated to iOS7 on the iPhone & iPad but cant be certain as I dont use the MacBook every day,
Any suggestions??
Thanks

OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
Back to normal...

New user. Need to know where my email contacts are on my macbook pro and how I can make a group email address

New user. Email contacts imported to MacBook pro from PC - but I'm unable to call up entire contact list or to make a group emailing contact.

Assuming you are using Apple's Mail application, contacts are managed via the Contacts application, in your application folder. As for various addressing methods, including groups, maybe this:

Attachments Not Attaching in Any Email on Any Browser in MacBook Pro Retina Display

I have the latest MacBook Pro with Retina display with quad core. No attachments whether pdf, images, or documents will attach to any email program on any browser on the Maverick OS. This is a defect only with the MacBook Pro. My iMac quad core works great with attachments as would be expected.
Any answers as to why attachments fail to attach and gives the spinning beachball requiring a force quit. Eventually, I take the file on a memory stick to my iMac to attach it there on any browser with any email.

Emails on iphone 4s and macbook pro. How to stop deleting on macbook when i delete from iPhone.

I've got an iPhone 4s and a macbook pro. My emails download to each device perfectly. However, when I delete emails on my phone, it deletes them from the macbook pro and I don't want them to! How do I change my settings to stop them from being deleted?
Thank you

So it seems that I can't change that??
However, I also have an Ipad and the emails on that never get deleted unless I physically delete them!! If I have to have the phone and macbook deleting automatically, can I set the ipad to also delete automatically??
thanks

Email deleting issues on my Macbook pro.

Hello all,
Just picked up the macbook pro last week and have been an iPhone user for about 5 years now. I currently use both yahoo and gmail and have them setup on my iPhone and Macbook. I've noticed when I delete any of my emails from gmail, they delete right away on my macbook, but when I delete my emails from yahoo, they stay on the Macbook. Even if I refresh or get new mail, nothing changes. The yahoo mail is set up at IMAP, I've checked all the settings with both gmail and yahoo and both are setup identically. I've even deleted yahoo mail off of the macbook and iPhone and then set it up over and over to no change.
Also I had tried out the macbook air the previous week, everything worked fine. Swapped it out for the macbook pro and had issues with this day 1. Took it to apple today, the guy couldn't figure it out. Appreciate any help I can get.

To clarify the issue...when I delete emails off my iPhone, the gmail emails delete simutaneously, but the yahoo emails do not delete at all. Right now, I have to double delete off iPhone and Macbook for the yahoo emails. Now if I delete off my macbook, they disappear when I check on my iPhone, so its working correctly that way. Thanks.

Setup procedure for email via iCloud simultaniously on MacBook Pro-Retina, iPad2 and iPhone3GS

I am looking for a "clean" and official procedure to setup email incoming/outgoing/sync service via iCloud simultaneously on three different devices:
MacBook Pro-Retina ( Mac OS 10.7.x Lion)
iPad2 (with data plan via Verizon3G)
iPhone3GS (with data plan via AT&T)
Primary email account is [email protected], and iCloud is the only profile setup on all three devices at the moment.
Secondary email account is [email protected] but it is automatically forwarded to the primary one, as well.
However, in such simplified basic setup scenario, still multiple copies of the same email messages are received on MacBook, iPhone or iPad devices / mailboxes.
All of your suggestions, ideas and experience would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Here is the official documentation how to set up an iCloud account on your iOS devices, Mac, and PC: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
To set up your iCloud account follow these steps:
- On your iPhone/iPad (iOS 5): Open "Settings > iCloud"
- On your Mac (Lion/Mountain Lion): "Open "System Preferences > iCloud" (If you do not have an iCloud icon in System Preferences: "System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud")
