BUG?: Cannot rename email account with a case-chan...

On my Lumia 820, I set up a mail account called: Blahblah
Then I wanted to rename it to: BlahBlah
The only difference was a change in case, not letters
The phone said "You already have an account called "BlahBlah" " and didnt make the change
Note, that renaming Blahblah -> Blahblahz -> BlahBlah worked ok
Problem: Seems windows phone 8 will search for existing accounts, including the one youre renaming, when it's trying to work out if youre renaming to another account that exists:
Solution: Don't include the current account in the list of account names being considered for duplicate checking
I'd have reported this to MS, but there doesnt seem a way. Maybe nokia can pass on the message

Did you ever consider the case of the account name is not considered?

Cannot create email account with out active sim/da...

Do you need a sim card and data plan inorder to create an email account on the E72? I don't have a sim in my e72 only wifi access most things seem to work such as sending/receiving email and surfing the internet. But can you NOT add a new email account with out a cellular data plan or sim card inserted?

Mail for Exchange and Lotus Traveler should work on WiFi, but the Nokia messaging accounts need Operator connection (at least for initial setup).

iCloud now insisting on previous Apple id. Cannot log in.
Will not accept new id and emails old id – a closed email account – with info. How do I fix?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then you can go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your ID back to the way it was.

Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
If they are different then either
a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

Cannot add email accounts, no browser no BIS, Nothing!

Hello
I recently came back from New York (I live in the Cayman Islands) and i had bought a Blackberry Curve 8300 at an electronics store there with hopes of using it when i got back.
I went to my mobile network t get the BIS connected but i was told that it could not be connected because my PIN was still on the T-Mobiles network.
I called T-Mobile and they said that the phone is not on their system so i must contact RIM
First of all when i try to setup my internet the only thing that comes up is "I want to use a work email account with a blackberry enterprise server"> so i think this phone is registered with RIM on a BES but i want BIS for personal use.
I upgraded the OS to see if that would help but that did nothing. The browser is also missing. It shows that it is there in the applications list but its not on the home screen (even when i show all)
I tried to register on BIS via the Blackberry site but i keep getting the error message " Invalid PIN and IMEI format". I know i have the right PIN and IMEI.
When i go to Security Options> general options>Services i see ***No Services***
When i go to Options> Advanced i see in the list Enterprise Activation (i dont have a enterprise account)
Could it be that it is still on the BES and thats what causing the problem. I think this phone is already on a account on the blackberry network and cannot be reregistered unless it is removed. I just bought it at an electronic store and everyone is saying that i need to contact the previous owner but thats not gonna happen. i am in the cayman islands and i bought it through an electronics store (i doubt even they know the original owner)
Please help...

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
The issue is not BES at all. Rather, the issue is that your BB PIN remains locked to the original carrier (from what you posted, TMobile). There may actually be two steps you need to conduct:
1) Unlocking the BB from the original carrier:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_unlock_my_BlackBerry%3F
2) Unlocking your BB PIN from the original carriers BIS system. The carrier controls BIS, not RIM. The carrier must release the PIN from their BIS before your new carrier can assign a BIS account to the PIN. You must convince one of the two carriers to conduct the escalation to RIM...if you escalate yourself, there will be fees (RIM does not provide first line support...the carrier do). When you contact them, be sure they first escalate you to their internal BB support team...then if they decide they can do so, they can escalate into RIM.
Good luck and let us know!

Syncing aol email accounts with mail?

I'm new to Mac, and I love my macbook but I can't figure out how to set up my aol email accounts using imail. Is that possible? I have two aol email accounts and I've been going on aol.com to check my messages but lately it hasn't been loading so I don't know what to do!
How can I sync my aol email accounts with imail? Is aol considered IMAP?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes, AOL accounts must be set up as IMAP in Mail, but AOL has a lot of idiosyncrasies and some really nasty “features” that normal IMAP accounts don’t have and that you should be aware of.
To more easily set up your AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
Instructions for setting up an AOL account in standard mail clients such as Mail should be available somewhere on AOL’s website, and can also be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
These 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 I believe you can now enable SSL for both the incoming (Preferences > Accounts > Advanced) and the outgoing mail server if you wish.
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.
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
Note in particular that AOL automatically purges your mail from 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.

Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.
For help on how to set up your e-mail on some of the most common software applications and devices, see How do I set up my TalkTalk email?
If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.

She can't. She needs to setup her own AppleID and then create an iCloud account using that.
You can still continue to share your existing AppleID for iTunes and App Store purchases.

Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

Hello arbazu,
Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.

How do I add a second email address in my email account with Shaw cable

How do I add a second email address in my email account with Shaw cable. It is already set up with Shaw but how do I add it to my incoming email

If you are using Apple's Mail setup is: Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the + sign to add an account. You'll need the email account name and password to input on the first screen. Mail should then attempt auto-setup but if it can't do it you'll need to manually add the mail server info, etc.

Open Mail preferences and delete the account. This only removes it from the Mail app and doesn't close out the service.

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?
