Can't Change Port number on Mail account settings

I am trying to use Mac mail to read my .mac email. I can recieve messages but can't send them.
I have isolated the problem to the port number which is 993. The problem is I can't change it to 25 or to 587 which is what .mac recommends. If I uncheck "use ssl" the port number changes to 143 but I still can't change it.
I have tried every possible way to change the port but it will not allow me.

Dave,
You are trying to change the wrong port setting. Those you are describing are related to Incoming Servers and are changed in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced -- those are NOT what you want.
Instead click open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, and click on the arrows beside the name of the Outgoing Server, then choose Edit Server List, and then select the Advanced tab and the smtp.mac.com there. You can then change to Port 587, for example.

  • How can I change my Primary E-mail account on Ipod touch?

    I only have 2 emails both have the same name only the end is different 1) @aol.com 2) @icloud.com.  My primary e-mail address was always @aol.com and now it is on @icloud.com.  I just need to know how I can change my Primary E-Mail  account to be AOL again.  Does it have anything to do with when I charge my ipod?  Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.  Also does the e-mail account have anything to do with the Primary Server for my mail.

    - Just what do you mean by prinary email account? Maybe this will help

    - It has nothing to do with charging your iPod. Yu said " Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.". What do you mean chargiing to iCloud?
    - Each mail account uses in Settings>Mail has a primary server for sending mail and that server is the server associated with that account. Secondard sending servers are other ssending servers for other mail account yo have ins Settings>Mail

    Hi 7oaksGaz,
    1) Due to tax reasons, it's not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID.
    Follow the steps mentioned in the below link as a workaround to create an Adobe ID with the email address you currently use for the existing Adobe ID.

    2) You can change the language of the application from AAM preferences

  • Can I change Port number?

    During install NW2004s, I got error at the step Install Software Unit: "cannot establish connection with any of the available instances: MyHost:50004 Reason: Cannot open connection on host: 192.168.1.2 and port: 50004.

  • How to change the number of mails displayed

    I have two accounts on my iTouch..I know how to change the number of mails displayed for the exchanged account (being the second-added email account)...But I don't know how to change it on my account email... I only want the recent like 20 messages to be displayed... But after I was reading through my email (meaning that pretty much all my emails were downloaded).. I couldn't decrease the number of emails displayed on my account email anymore....

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Mail>Show Recent Messages. The least amount that you can set it for is 50 messages.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine? How can I change the number in face time?

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • How to change the order of Mail accounts

    Is there a way I can adjust the order of how my Mail accounts appear? I have six accounts on my iPhone, but generally only receive e-mails to two of them, so I'd like to put them at the top of the list.
    Thanks!

    You're welcome.
    I'm not sure how the account order is established on the iPhone when transferring email accounts from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. I access only two email accounts and I manually created both on my iPhone.
    You can delete all accounts on your iPhone, and then select only one email account at a time under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync - selecting the account you want listed first. Follow this by deselecting the account under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and then select the next account that you want listed on your iPhone followed by a sync.
    Repeat the same for the 3rd account, 4th account, and so forth.
    Another thing to check, what order are the email accounts listed under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences? Does the order match the order of the accounts on your iPhone? If so, can you change the order of the accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences? If yes, you can delete all email accounts from your iPhone followed by transferring all 6 email accounts at one via the iTunes sync process.

  • How can I change my rescue e-mail

    Hi,
    I forgot my security answers and I tried to reset them but it got sent to my rescue E-mail, the problem is that I can't remember the rescue E-mail or password.
    so, how can I change my rescue E-mail.
    I tried to connect to support team but it didn't work.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • HT201342 Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    No, only by signing up for a completely new iCloud account.
    You can add an email alias to your existing account though.

  • Changing Last Name on Mail accounts

    Recently remarried, and trying to change last name on Mail accounts.  I have changed them in Contacts, however seem to have problems in sending mail.
    Anyone have an idea of where I need to make all the changes?

    Mail apparently can do this, but doesn’t provide support for it in the user interface:
    Add unique names to .Mac email aliases
    Add unique names to .Mac aliases via AppleScript
    I believe the AppleScript in the second article is for .Mac accounts only. The first article was initially also meant for .Mac accounts only, but I believe that a similar procedure can be used with other account types as well — read the comments for additional info on this.
    What I’d probably do is leave the Full Name field blank and the email address alone, though...

    The bankcard must be issued in the Country you are trying to change to, and your mailing address must also be in that country.
