BEST FREE EMAIL ACCOUNT THAT SYNCS WITH LEOPARD "MAIL"

Which provider of free e-mail synchronises best with "mail". Yahoo you need to pay to work with Mail and I am looking for something that works, is free and preferably isn't Google - any thoughts?

www.fastmail.fm works for me. Free IMAP accounts with 10MB of storage. Not a lot, but free is free. Enhanced Fastmail accounts with more storage space and more features are pretty cheap.

  • How do I change my iCloud email address that syncs with my iPhone?

    I had to change my e-mail address today.  I changed it in iTunes and checked it on apple.com (Manage ID).  Everything is fine, except now the e-mail address I have associated with iCloud on my iPhone is out-dated. It's the old one. 
    How do I update the e-mail address for iCloud on my iPhone? I can change the password, but not the e-mail address.  Do I really have to delete the account from my iPhone and add a new one? 
    Note, I don't want to change the actual e-mail address that I got when I set up my iCloud account i.e. [name]@me.com.  I want to change the e-mail address that syncs with iCloud and my iPhone. 
    Many thanks

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated ID.  This only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your device, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Creating email folders that sync with Outlook

    I want to be able to organize my mail both on my computer and on my iphone by being able to place mail in different folders. I want to save messages on either computer or iphone and have them sync with each other so that I have the same folders and content in both places.
    I created the folders in Outlook but couldn't get them into iphone mail. I then set up a Ymail account and it syncs with the folders and incoming mail but wont sync the content in the folders. My mail account is sbcglobal.net
    Can this be fixed?

    You need an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this.
    All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes on the server with each email client used to access the account with each mailbox kept synchronized with the server automatically. Send a message with the iPhone's mail client and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account automatically and vice-versa.
    You can also create additional server stored mailboxes for the account with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account using a browser to sort received and sent messages by category. Any additional server stored mailboxes created for the account with the email client on your computer will be available when checking the account with the iPhone's mail client automatically, and all server stored mailboxes for the account will be kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    This is not possible with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. A sbcglobal account is a POP account only - it cannot be accessed as an IMAP account.

  • Pre email push not syncing with Yahoo Mail or google cal after HP shut down

    HI.  I have a Palm Pre, and while I knew services going through Palm would be dead after the shut down, I assumed anything that was a direct email push through my cell phone carrier or WIFI would be fine.
    I have however suddenly lost email sync with my Yahoo account, google calendar sync (thought the gmail sync works) and Outlook calendar sync through Chapura sync manager.
    Is this a coincidence?  Is there something I can do to fix this?  It makes no sense that services that have nothing to do with Palm should cease to work!
    Thanks!

    I have set up the account using the iPhone's preset service - which I think means it's an exchange account.
    This means the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access for received messages.
    Surely I'm not supposed to close Mail down in order to receive push notifications? And if so, what does that means for Facebook, eBay etc?
    No you are not. With an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled for the account with the account settings on the iPhone, when a new message is received at the incoming mail server the incoming mail server "pushes" the message out automatically without having to check the account for new messages - automatically or manually, which is called fetch.
    Removing the Mail app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar does not quit the app. It removes the app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar only. The iPhone has supported multitasking since day one with included apps. Removing the Mail app, the Messages app, and the Phone app from the fast app switching/recently used app bar does not quit these apps. These apps are always running in the background so to speak in a suspended or frozen state.
    Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3&1/2 years ago.

  • Free email account for iMac

    I have an iMac and also an ISP and access my email from AOL. I would like to stop using AOL for my email and go to a free service and don't want to use the address from my ISP because I am going to have hi-speed access in a couple of months through my telephone company and won't need an ISP. I don't want to have to change my email address so many times in such a short time.
    I tried to log on for "amtp.mac.com:sheilakobs", but don't seem to be able to come up with the correct password and don't know how to find it.
    Also, can you tell me something about Mac OS X Mail 3.0 - Email Program?
    Sheila Kobs

    If you are running 10.4, you should also have the Apple Mail.app version 2. It can work with a free email account that uses POP/IMAP server access in addition to web-browser based access. Gmail has that option, but it is not usually enabled for a new account, you have to go into the account settings to enable this feature.
    You should be able to find some help from gmail.

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

  • Dealing with two email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server

    Folks:
    re:   mail.app  5.2 (MacOS 10.7.4) with respect to POP accounts only
    I've read this thread multiple times, spent many hours experimenting, and my web searches haven't come up with any more useful help.
    How do you persuade mail.app to accept settings for two similar, but distinct email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server?   Say, the accounts are "blue.example.com" and "[email protected]". These have different user names and passwords.   The SMTP server is "smtp.example.com". 
    I think this is the appearance of success: the SMTP Server List (as seen in edit-the SMTP-Server-List mode) shows:
    Server Name                   In Use By Account
        smtp.example.com      [email protected], [email protected]
    (Description column omitted for brevity.  And of course, mail.app doesn't show the little envelope icons.)
    But I cannot reliably achieve this result.   When I select the SMTP server from the list for the second account --as suggested in the above-referenced thread--- I see the credentials (user name and password) for the first.  Should I overwrite them?  No, I don't think so -- I think that will break the first account.   I feel mail.app should present me with empty credentials boxes instead.  Maybe this happens -- sometimes.  But I can't see how to make it happen.  Am I simply overlooking something?
    A slightly different way of asking about this issue:   Suppose  I manage to do a proper setup for the two accounts and they work.  Then I change the password for "[email protected]" on the server. What is a reliable way of reaching the SMTP credentials for that account to make the edit?  Same question for "[email protected]"?    Even when I successfully attach two accounts to one SMTP server, I seem only able to reach the first listed one to make changes. (In this case, "blue.example.com").
    It is possible I'm missing something incredibly obvious...    I know the credentials for each account are distinct, but maybe mail.app copies them from the POP (incoming) settings.   Nah, that can't be, can it?   Or what?
    Maybe I'm seeing bizarre things due to scrambled mail.app preferences.  I've seen it before on other apps: delete the current preference file, get an auto-generated fresh one, and sanity returns. But with mail.app, with the prospect of losing years of emails --yeah, I've done it--  I'm extremely reluctant to mess around.
    Suggestions, please.
    TIA
    Message was edited by: Hen3ry  to clean up the table a little and add a parenthetical explanation.

    OK, I'm convinced.   The mail.app UI is BROKEN -- in my primary user account.  Such that it cannot reliably select an outgoing server for editing.
    I created a new user account and installed some relevant example accounts in mail.app in that account.  No problem. Well, a bit obscure, but still fully logical and reliable selection of individual SMTP accounts for editing.
    For the sake of clarity, I think it is best to mark this "answered" and repost, focusing on the symptoms and asking how one might go about repairing the problem.  So I'll do that.

  • Can I have just ONE account in Contacts that syncs with my iPhone?

    I quickly add a new contact when I'm at my computer right from a new email. I reply, "I'll call you when I get there" and I race out the door.
    Ooops.
    Mountain Lion put my new contact into the "ON MY MAC" account. It did not sync with my iPhone because it's not in my iCloud account.
    Really?
    Why would I not want that on my phone? Why does Apple make this so difficult?
    Is there a way to totally get rid of the ON MY MAC contacts, and just have ONE account that syncs? Without me having to check and double check my contacts all the time?
    I'm about ready to buy a paper and pen address book so I'll KNOW when it's working or not.
    Sorry about the rant and the attitude, but it's really frustrating to lose a potential client to something this basic.
    I also have a Dot Mac account that then became Mobile Me and now I'm not sure what it is, but I had to create an iCloud account (and a new iCloud email address) just to make my Notes sync up. So I don't know if all that is exacerbating the problem or not.
    But ONE Contacts account that syncs reliably without me having to police it constantly would be nice.

    Have you set the iCloud account as the default account yet? Sounds like you have not.
    Contacts>Preferences>General. Choose the account you want new contacts to be in and select it.

  • HT1338 If I registre my imovie with other email account that i dont use anymore how can i keep updating using my new email account? thanks

    Hope I can get some help, I just want to update two programs and it keeps telling me that i registred with the other account wich is my old email account and I dont use anymore. I will apprecite your help

    An update for anybody else with similar problems.
    I did get an email after about 10 days.  And the Short version is if you want to cancel your Premium BT Yahoo email account (That costs about £20 a year just to get email via pop3 or pushed to your mobile device) The ONLY way is to phone BT and they will cancel it for you but will also DELETE your email account after 3 Months ! So there seems to be no way to "downgrade" your BT Yahoo email account back to just a web based account.
    This feels rather ridiculous if you ask me!
    After using my BT email account for 10 years + I am now in the very slow process of logging into every online account I have and changing my email address to a free Gmail account that does the same job for free !
    Once I have changed all the email address on all my important accounts I will go a head an cancel this ridiculous payment.
    I guess this can now be classed as closed.  But not with a happy outcome.
    Regards
    Dom.

  • How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple account? When trying to activate my Apple account my old email keeps popping

    How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my  ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

  • How do I reset the password of an old login with an email account that no longer exists?

    Years ago, I bought songs in the iTunes store with an old email account that no longer exists.  I type my answers to the security questions, but the answers aren't working for some reason.  So neither of the normal ways to reset a password.  Is there a way to be able to figure out or change the password so that I can listen to this music once again?

    If you can't get it reset it http://iforgot.apple.com
    then you will need to contact Support in your country to try and get access to the account (they can also reset your questions) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If you do get access you can then change the primary email address on it e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes ot via http://appleid.apple.com

  • Best free Word Processor that's compatible with Microsoft Word?

    hey guys, i'm looking at moving over to the Mac in a couple days and i just need to know the best free Word Processor that can open .doc files. 99% of my docs made in Word are of the 97-2003 variety and not 2007's .docx.
    appreciate any  help.
    thanks

    Well, in terms of best, it might be argued the best would be MS Word for Mac (MS Office for Mac 2011) as it uses the same native format as the window's version of office.
    Others that are compatible include Apple's own Pages - http://www.apple.com/apps/pages/
    Then there are the free offerings, like openoffice - http://www.openoffice.org/ and others.
    I do not honestly know if there is one single "best" as there are so many possible specific features and formating oddities in MS Word that it is impossible to say that any one otherwise generally MS-Word-compatible program is guaranteed to be 100% compatible with your specific documents.
