I can not create Mail Account..

I am trying to create a mail account in X Server 10.5.
I created an account in Workgroup Manager and enabled the mail service for the user, but for some reason, the user and password keeps rejecting...
Any thoughts? I've been trying to figure this out for a while....

Can't Create Mail Accounts in 10.8.2

I use 3 mail accounts on my Mountain Lion 10.8.2 mail application. Recently, I re-installed the OS recently as I upgraded my HDD to an SSD and since then have not been able to re-configure 2/3 mail accounts. I have a hotmail account which I cannot configure because I do not know what the "server address" is under the Microsoft Exchange option. Similarly, I have a school email account that I have always been able to configure. However, when I go to "Add Other Account" and enter my settings, it gets stuck on the "Discovering Settings..." section for well approximately an hour and running (I plan to let it run to see what happens).
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm guessing by the silence that there's no answer and this feature has been removed from Mail in 10.8.
WHY GOD WHY????

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that. Any help please?

You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate).

Can't create POP account

It happens that I can't create POP accounts, while I do easily with Entourage.
The same data in Entourage work while in Mail don't.
I can't understand why. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks

Hector,
A subtle difference between Mail and Entourage, is in the use of Username. In Mail, what you enter in the Username box of Mail Preferences must be exactly what is required by the provider of the POP server -- this will either be the true username, which is the portion of the email address in front of the "@", which is how it is done for a .mac, or for some providers it must be the entire email address, repeated as the Username entry (this is how it must be for Gmail). You must test with each, or find a support document that provides the format you must enter as the Username.
I think Entourage, at least sometimes, is able to derive the Username from the email address, and negotiate through this choice.
Let me know if changing the form of the Username entry will resolve this.

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

It is the same for the app store. You are required to have some sort of payment method in the record.

How can someone create an account/register on my website?

Hello!
I'm somewhat new to Muse so I apologize if this question has already been asked.
I wanted to create a link where someone can register/create an account on my page so that they will have the ability to have their own personal page when they log in. I would prefer to offer the option where they can either enter their own information, or login with facebook.
How can I do this in Muse?

To follow up on the Login behavior; it was done using Authpro. The client did not want to change hosting just for this element. I would like to see it added to Muse on a future release. For most sites I continue to develop in DW, but find Muse quite handy for designing workable comps. If Muse had a more robust selection of behaviors like non-BC client-side editing, login or non-BC contact forms I would be tempted to keep the Muse sites for more than comp use. Heck, that would save time and increase revenue. Of course nothing would be better than a clean roundtrip or export to DWCC.
Cheers,
Jeffery

Can't create computer account in Workgroup Manager

Hi everybody !.
I am installing a new Xserve with Mac OS X Server 10.5.6 and I am having some trouble with computer accounts in Workgroup Manager.
I have a couple of PCs with Windows XP that I have added to the Windows domain created by Mac OS X Server with no problem,and they do appear in my computer account list, with the name PC_NameX$.
My Xserve also appears in this list with the name ServerName.DomainName$
But my iMacs (with Mac OS X 10.4.11) are not listed. When I try to create their accounts, I write their names and their MAC address but when I push the button "Save", Workgroup Manager says that I can't create this account because there is a computer with that name and that MAC address yet.
I can't find a solution for this problem by myself. Could anybody give some advices to solve it ?.
Many thanks.

Hi Mabel,
In my computer list appears my Windows computer names (followed by a "$" symbol, i.e., name$) and my Xserve name followed by domain name and a "$" symbol, i.e, name.domain$. Finally, there is a Guest account I added a few days ago (without "$" symbol).
No iMac is listed here. When I try to add them manually, I write "Name", "Short Name" and "Ethernet ID" fields, and when I push "Save" button, I get this message:
"The name you have chosen conflicts with a name assigned to another computer. You can’t assign the name “Pollux” to two different computers. Remember that names are not case-sensitive when checking for conflicts." (Pollux is the name I gave to one of the iMacs).
If I change this name and use another one, but I don't change "Ethernet ID" and then push "Save", the message is:
"The ethernet address you have chosen conflicts with an ethernet address assigned to another computer. You can’t assign the ethernet address “00:17:f2:d3:38:95” to two different computers."
So, It seems that WGM knows Name and Ethernet ID from this iMac because it does not let me type them again, but I have not typed this information before nor the iMacs are listed in computer list.
This is what I don't understand.
I have have read chapter 6 "Setting Up Computers and Computer Groups", the one that starts on page 105, from top to bottom. I have not found a single clue that helps me solving this problem. Here explains the procedure when everything is working properly.
Finally, another piece from the puzzle. There is an iMac, that always connects to Directory with Airport interface. I have tried to add this iMac, manually. Well, I get the name conflict message, the Ethernet ID conflict message (with its airport id) and... an Ethernet ID message when I type its Ethernet ID. It seems Directory knows this Ethernet ID even, it has never been used to connect to it.
Is there some detail I am missing ???.
Kind regards.

How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses? I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's). I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person. Is that possible?

Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

Go to http://www.apple.com/asia/support/mac/app-store/ , click on 'iTunes Store Account and Billing' then 'Billing Enquiries' to get a link to email them. Ask them whether there is a way you can purchase Apps, perhaps by nominating one of the listed countries (Vietnam, for example).
