Can't configure POP3 account

I just got my new iPad and I can't seem to get my standard POP3 email account configured. I have it configured no problem on my iPhone. I need to be able to specify port 2525 to my POP3/SMTP server and there doesn't seem to be a place to specify it. I tried appending :2525 to my server name, and no dice. The configuration also wants to use SSL all the time. I've tried configuring this everywhichway and it comes back that it "can't connect using SSL".
Is anyone else trying having problems configuring email on iPad to a plain vanilla POP3/SMTP server?
Thanks.

Well, I hacked at a bit and figured it out. Apple has a bit of work to do on the interface for configuring basic POP3 accounts on the iPad.
After letting it fail to connect/configure, I blew through the interface until I got to the point where I could save the account information that I entered. Then I was able to diddle with each of the account settings - including the outbound port - via the Advanced tab (very much like the iPhone interface for email accounts) and all is well.
So the trick here is to let it fail to connect using SSL at each stage, which is time consuming, and then save the account information. From there, the interface will resemble that of the iPhone and will look familiar. Then you make some advanced settings and it will work just fine.
Enjoy!

Can't Configure iTunes account on IPhone

I am trying to download music through the new iTunes o my iPhone and when I click Buy Now, it says
"No account information found. Please connect to iTunes to configure your account."
Well I plugged it into my computer and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your time.
Andrew

This did not work for me. I synced my iphone with itunes WHILE signed into my itunes store account, and I still cannot download anything from the store with my iphone -- getting the same message about no account information found, etc.
It sure would be nice if Apple would publish a support document describing how to do this....

How can I get my phone to set up a POP3 account instead of IMAP?

I use a premium Mail.com e-mail account and on my old 3GS, I had it set up as a POP3 account instead of IMAP. There used to be an option at the top when creating an e-mail account to choose POP or IMAP but this option is no longer present in the 4S.
I follow the same process as on the 3GS - choose 'Other' when adding a mail account and I then enter all the details. It was this screen on the 3GS that allowed me to choose the type, but not anymore. I then click 'Next' and the phone automatically configures my account and sets it up as IMAP. After the account has been set up, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it to a POP3 account, I have also tried that as well.
Having an IMAP account is a real pain because, even though I choose to save Drafts, Sent Messages and Deleted Items on the server, my iPhone still insists on creating new folders for these so I have multiple folders on my iPhone and then I end up with multiple folders on my web server as well, which looks a mess when I log in. I usually end up deleting these folders.
Does anyone know how I can make my iPhone set up a POP3 account instead of an IMAP? I cannot see why this should not be possible on a phone that claims to be as advanced as the 4S does...

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

How can i change a POP3 account to an IMAP account ???

How can i change a POP3 account to an IMAP account ???

Hi,
In Outlook we can't "convert" an account from POP3 to IMAP directly. Just setup the account as IMAP and remove the POP3 one. You may need to keep a backup of the POP3 .pst if you downloaded and removed the items from the server. Once the IMAP account
is setup, move the items from the old .pst flie into the new account.
If you didn't remove the items on the server when using the POP3 account, you can choose not to keep the .pst file as long as the items are still on the server.

Configure POP3 email account on iCloud

I had one POP3 email (Yahoo!) on my MobileMe account which worked fine. After the migration to iCloud I'm still getting emails from my Yahoo! account. The problem is that I don't want to access the Yahoo! account from iCloud any longer. How do I configure this on iCloud?

ok, I see. I think you would have needed to disable it as long as you were a MobileMe User.
No Way lets iCloud mail you configure pop accounts. There simply is no setting panel for it. It is IMAP only and only for the Apple mail account. So your icloud account seems to have imported settings and use them but you can't manage them.
Strange flaw in the system. You might want to contact professional Apple support here.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are referring to adding a secondary account, to a single device, then you can do this at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars.

I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way it ask for the password everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it I have to include the pw when configuring the account and after that it do not ask for pw so everyone that shares my iPad can oppen my mail with no pw required.
Thank

The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

I Can't Setup My Hotmail\Outlook POP3 Account Successfully

I Can't Setup My Hotmail\Outlook POP3 Account Successfully so PLEASE Tell Me How Do I Setup My Hotmail\Outlook POP3 Account Successfully ?

For POP access, you have to enable it in your Hotmail account settings (accessed via the Hotmail website), but for IMAP access, the recommended setup, see this article:
http://www.ghacks.net/2013/09/14/access-outlook-com-email-accounts-using-imap/
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
TB may default to IMAP when you launch the account setup wizard (File/New/Existing Mail Account), so if you wish to have POP access, click on the Manual config. button after you enter your account credentials, and select POP.

HT1277 I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem

hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
same for SMTP

I can't configure my e-mail accounts on ipad

My iPad is connected to my university's Wiffi. I have Internet because I can browse websites. However, I can't configure my e-mail accounts on the iPad. When I bought the ipad, I was able to configure my e-mail accounts. When I was at school using the Wiffi it worked. Until today, I couldn't download my recent e-mail. Thus, I eliminated my e-mail accounts in order to fix the problem, but now I can set the accounts because the network connection, the IMAP server is not working.

OK. Calm down. Your answers are still a little confusing.
There is a difference between setting up an email account and setting up an Apple ID.
Are you trying to set up an iTunes account - that requires an Apple ID - Is that what you want to set up?
Or are you trying to configure your email account for the iPad - like gmail, AOL, Hotmail etc?
Please give clear answers or details as to exactly what you are trying to do and what you have already done. There are lots of knowledgeable people here that can help you.

How can i configure autologin with network account?

right now when i go to user preferences for network account, login window and options are non manageable for network users.
im using network accounts on all public machines and now after reboot they all require manual logon, how can i configure autologin to use network account

Did you try authenticating with a local admin account to get into the login options from a network user account? Then you might be able to set auto login for that account. I've set network accounts as admin users on particular machines that way.

Can I have two POP3 Accounts on one mail?

Hello,
I'm trying to manage two (2) POP accounts using the Apple e-mail client. One works the other doesn't.

You can have as many accounts as you want, so the problem must lie in your account settings.

thanks

what about right click and detach? or save as?
