Can't create a pop3 mail account

i tried search for this topic but there seemed to be no answers. Hard to believe no one has had this issue. Just got rid of iPhone and bought a Curve 8310 to last me 3 months when I can tell AT&D to shove their service where the sun don't shine! Anyway, when I try to set up a pop3 account my phone only allows me to set up a gmail or yahoo account. Am I missing something? I'm guessing it shouldn't be this hard to set up but when your technology challenged like me, even simple events are of gargantuan proportions! Thanking you in advance!

In lieu of that, please explain exactly how it only allows those two to be configured. An error message when you try to configure others? Some screen that tells you that others are not allowed? What, exactly do you do and what, exactly, happens when you try? Details please, since we cannot see your BB screen.
Thanks!

Can't create a new mail account

Hi everybody,
My internet provider changed it's name from direcway.com to hughes.net, so that ment that I had to change my email account. I deleted the old direcway.com address, now I'm trying to make a new hughes.net account. I click on mail and the new accounts window opens and I start the process. After inputting the incoming mail server info and password, then click continue my computer checks the connection to POP server mail.hughes.net, then checks the login for my username. And that's as far as it goes, and the login to POP server mail.hughes.net failed. One other thing, I don't have a POP server, it's a POP3 server, and even though I've tried I'm not sure where to input that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Kauf,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Hopefully these other responses will assist you in completing the new account setup. However, let me also point out that you can proceed in the setup, even though connection fails, and sometimes this is necessary to later gain access to use a different Port than the default. But, I am sure Mail will default to Port 110 for POP, and this would only be useful if the server should be approached on a different Port, and you would edit this in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced.
Probably not needed, but just clarifying.

How do I create a POP mail account on ios 5

When I try to create a new mail account it always turns out to be an IMAP email account which I don't have access to such an account. My account is POP3 and I don't seem to be able to ever specify that on my iPhone 4 using ios 5. Help?

You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the preconfigured options.
Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

How can I block all other mail account just to only use the exchange mailbox of our company? This is to prevent the user to setup his on company iPhone.

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

I can not create a new user account on eprint

i can not create a new user account on eprint. I have been trying for over an hour and it repeats telling me that my email addresses are not entered correctly, however they match. ?

I have tried to create an account via ePrintCenter and it seems that the published application has several flaws in interpreting the provided input.
1) In the Filed for last Name I enter my last name, which consist of only Alph Characters. The form however thinks that there is some sort of special character and rejects my Input.
2) E-Mail address. is not identical; OK, so I do a quick OCR on the E-Mail and guess what they are identical. Again the form Fails to recognize this.
3) Enter a password (2 Fields) and a third is displayed which is marked as "*required" but is not labeled as to what the required info could possibly be. Or is it a 3 password confirmation box, who knows.
All I know is that a simple registration is a major pain with this HP site.
Any Help as to how to alleviate this would of course be greatly appreciated.

How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
Post back with any questions!
Cheers,

Can't create an E-mail acct after mail list by same name has been deleted.

I deleted a mailing list through delegated administrator because the user wants it created as an E-mail account instead. After deleting the list through the delegated administrator interface (and after waiting 1.5 hours!) I still cannot create the E-mail account. It says the name is already in use. Is there a way to purge the mailing list name from the system so I can create this E-mail account right away?

to purge the user
use command line utility
./imadmin user purge
( default purge is 10 days, specify -g 0 if required imeediately)

HT5312 how can i create a rescue mail

how can i create a rescue mail in order to use it to bypass the secuirity questions

You won't be able to add a rescue email address to your account until you can answer your questions, if you can't remember their answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset follow the instructions on the HT5312 page that you posted from :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

Can I create folders in mail?

Can I create folders in mail?

At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appear in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

If you're fortunate enough to have an ISP that also has mail via Microsoft Exchange, you can kill the original account and re-create it as an Microsoft Exchange account. That will bring whatever folders you have set up in the mail's webmail app across to your iPad.
The only downside is that you can only have one Exchange account, so if you already have one set up, you're stuck. But Frontier has my Internet business, so I was able to set up my second account via Exchange. It's not perfect, but it works.
It's a way to get by until they figure out that POP limitation... :-)

TS4020 family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

You can perfectly well create a new separwate iCloud account: for this you will need to create a new Apple ID for which you will need a non-Apple email address you haven't used elsewhere for iCloud.
That done, everyone can sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable the various data types in the checklist there. This is a 'secondary account': its email, Contacts and Calendars will appear alongside those in the existing 'primary account' but you don't get 'push' email (it's checked periodically) and it cannot use PhotoStream.
Note that if you've been using the same device to create other accounts, there is a limit of three iCloud accounts which can be created by any one device, so if that's been reached you would have to use another device: once done the first device can sign into it perfectly well.

I have multiple apple phones on one account can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes. Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

For what reason would you do that?
Simply connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
iTunes remembers the sync profile per device.
