C3 - mail add account - other giving 'server not f...

Hi,
I've tried this on both 3G and WLAN.
- Select Add Account in Mail
- Select "Other"
- Enter a personal imap server that works with AppleMail, Thunderbird, a Nokia N95, MailToWeb, (you get the picture)
- Enter the user credentials
- Do the same for the SMTP server (SSL auth to my fastmail account)
- Hit "sign in"
The result
"Server not found"
Can anyone from Nokia help out please. It's a shame the N95 8G died, as we did at least have working mail for this.

andrewrob,
I had the same problem and found that I had to unlock CAPTCHA here: http://www.google.com/ accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
This worked for me. If that doesn't work, you could try this:
1. Open Keychain Access (located inside the Utilities folder which is inside the Applications folder)
2. Highlight the login keychain in the white box to the left.
3. Click the lock above it to lock the login keychain.
4. Now unlock it.
5. Go back to Mail and enter your password again. You will probably have to do it once for incoming mail and once for outgoing mail.
I hope this helps!

Outlook 2013 Mail Setup Add Account crashes or will not connect to Exchange in Windows 8.1

I've posted this in the answers.Microsoft.com forum, as well as the Office365 forum, and they sent me here, saying the Outlook engineers would be the best to help with this. I actually already posted this question a week ago, but nobody here replied.
Getting a bit frustrated at the lack of support, except for Richard over at the Office365 Forum.
I'm setting up a new laptop with Windows 8.1. Just installed Office Professional Plus 2013. I have an Office365 E1 subscription, but this Office 2013 is not associated with the subscription.
When I go to setup any email account using the automatic mode (primary will be Exchange Online with my 365 account, but I've tested POP email accounts with the same result), the Mail Setup crashes once the email address and password is entered and Next is
pressed. This error message is displayed:
"Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
The step displayed as in process when the crash occurs is the "Searching for [email address] settings". The first step "Establishing network connection" is checked complete.
I've run an Office Repair, and there's no change. I've run a clean boot, and no change. I uninstalled/reinstalled both from the Click to Run version, as well as reinstalling from a disk install, with the same error still appearing.
If I use the manual setup mode and input the server outlook.office365.com, both the Check Name function and the Next button result in the error message:
"The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
I've disabled the firewall and still get this Outlook error. I am able to start Outlook and it will run now, and I can connect POP and IMAP email using the manual setup, but still cannot connect to ExchangeOnline via the manual setup. I still
get the error "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
I deleted the Outlook data file and deleted the profile, and created a new profile, and I'm still getting the Add account setup crash Rundll32 error in the auto-setup mode.
Important to note: I tested my friend's Office365 E3 ExchangeOnline account and was able to get a successful setup test, so it doesn't appear that the problem is entirely just the Outlook2013 client, since it worked once with a 365 Exchange account.
I've been trying to get this working for 2 weeks now, and I am unable to completely switch off my old laptop using Outlook 2010 until I can get Outlook2013 setup on my new one, which is a huge hassle.
Can you offer any ideas or solutions? Please help ASAP.
Thanks,
Jason

IMPORTANT: I found the solution. Another user figured it out and posted the answer on another thread.
Please spread this around to all other Outlook support techs so they know to point people in the direction of the quick (though very obscure) fix to this problem.
See this thread for how to disable graphics acceleration in Office, which iswhat causes the rundll23 error.

Backup or other smtp server not working in IOS7

After upgrading to IOS7 on my company iPhone5 I can no longer reply to emails received on one account using "Other SMTP Server" option. (i.e. If Primary server can't be reached, it should role to Other SMTP Servers to send message. This was broken after upgrading all our work phones to the new IOS. (both 7 & 7.1)
We still have two phones on IOS6 and this feature works fine on those operating systems
Any help would be great!
Thank you...

Ok so I resolved it. I set up the iPhone from new and did NOT restore from backup. I added the apps etc back on manually.
FaceTime worked perfectly. So I made a new backup.
I then restored from my previous backup just to check if FaceTime might work and it failed again.
Tried restore backup from PC and from iCloud - neither worked.
I went back to my new backup and restored - perfect.
My advice. Set up as new iPhone. It's a pain but not as much as not having FaceTime.

Mac Mail - Add Account Options

My mac mail will not give me "account type" options. How do I get the option to select an account type. When I go to preferences and click on the "+" button to add an account I just get the screen that says enter your name email address and password. I don't get a screen that says "choose a mail account to add". Please help. I'd like to add an exchange account.
Dray

Try holding down the option key when you hit continue. That should allow for a manual setup.

Mail sent from other apps are not sent

Since upgrading to OS 4.1 I noticed that mail initiated from apps, e.g. twitter or Flipboard gets stuck in the outbox of the Mail app. And I dont hear the usual swoosh sound for outgoing mail. Regular messages sent from the Mail app go out normal. What's the issue here?

After switching my Gmail account from IMAP to the Exchange setting the problem has disappeared. Was not how I had it set up in iOS 3

Mail Add to iPhoto feature does not work

Hi, every time I receive a mail with a photo, even if I try to select the feature "Add to iPhoto", nothing happens.
The only way is to copy the photos to my desktop, then inport to iPhoto.
Any help to make that feature working?
Tnxs, cheers

Just for completeness' sake:
Or select the attached images in the Mail, ctrl-click. and select "Open with > Other" and select iPhoto. This will import the photos into a new project.

HT1694 Still getting error: "cannot get mail the connection to the server failed" please help, for ipad 1; for hotmail account

cannot get my hotmail email with an ipad, get a connection to server failed error. I have tried to delete and install the email with area on settings, did not change. This email did work in the past until today,
Thanks in advance

Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
I hope this helps.

Emailing from iPhoto using Mail & .Mac account in a foreign country

Hi all.
I love the OSX integration of being able to just select some photos in
iPhoto and click the email button. Opens up Mail program and sends away.
It makes it very easy and simple for someone like my girlfriend who would rather not think about where things are stored and how to attach them.
I even made her get a .Mac account to simply things even more!
Great.... but......
Off she goes with the iBook to Thailand to do her wholesale shopping.
With a new digital camera, iBook, .Mac account and iLife 6 all packed too.
(plus a quick lesson in using iWeb to get photos to a web page).
So now she takes some photos, loads them into iPhoto, edits, crops,
makes them look pretty. All in the comfort of her own room. Then off
to the Internet Cafe she goes, pays for a wireless hookup (the iBooks got airport). Goes to iPhoto, selects the photos, clicks email. Mail opens and a
new message with the photos already attached opens. After typing a message and sending the message......an error gets returned saying unable to send message do to SMTP outgoing server.
Having ran into this issue at home already, I followed instructions I found on the apple site regarding changing the mail setting account info SMTP server port number. Well that worked for home and after trying to get her to change it via the numerous numbers suggested from the Support pages on apple. Could not get her to be able to send an email (even when selecting .mac as the selected outgoing mail server).
Any suggestions on how to get this to work.
I just went into the new web .Mac mail and while you can attach files.
There is no way to use the iPhoto program to do this or to just be able to drag and drop from iPhoto to .Mac webmail.
Trying to show her the pathway to find her photos in the Pictures folder is not really an option.
thanks
Kerry

Hi Kerry
Some ISPs don't allow one to send email via another connection to prevent spammers using their servers for relaying junk.
I suggest that she use the webmail function of .Mac.
She could export the files to desktop, making sure that she adjusts the file size in the dialogue box so that the files are not too large, and then add to the email via the normal webmail interface.

HT1694 How to set up a Windows Live Mail email account?

I am attempting to set up my email account on my iPhone 4. I use a Windows Live Mail email account.
When I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add Mail Account > I enter all of the relevant details in relation to my new account which I am attempting to set up (such as; Name, Email, Password, Descriptopn) and then I click next > Then here is what I am not sure what to do next.

My question is where do I find this information?
Thank you.

I already had an email acc. But I tried to add another acc, the "add account" cannot use

I try add an email account, but "add account" is in grey, not black, cannot add. Why? Can someone advise me

Do you have restrictions enabled? Settings>General>Restrictions>On? If you have it set to on, you may have disabled making changes to mail accounts in which case you would not be able to add another email account.
If that isn't the case, try the basics ...
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of thebutton.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
Please help...

I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
If you are on your own #G network then:
Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.

Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK

mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past. Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge. Any ideas?

The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.
