Can't PW protect email accounts?  This thing is useless

What's to prevent everyone in my house from snooping my email accounts or vice versa? From what I can tell, looks like there's no way to password protect or require input of a pw to get access to an account. What a HUGE design flaw. maybe I'm missing something and some nice person will politely show me how it's done.

You are absolute right. It's an awful design flaw. It's OK that different users can't have their own protected accounts, but it's a bug that You can't protect Your own account.
Either You lock everything and type Your code for chats, a look in the news, the weather, your movie magazine, a short game during commercial spots ... or everybody can read Your mails. I think we should organize something against that very arrogant company.
A lot of people here are employers from Apple that are paid for bashing against critics or Applefanboys.
But I think if all unsatisfied iPad users are blogging against Apple. Writing to their politicians or try a class action lawsuit. We have a chance against Apple. I think You should write Your critique down everywhere, so that more and more people buy other devices and Apple looses a lot of money. Maybe they start thinking about their customers.

  • HT204053 The one alias I've had for over 5 years has not fully migrated over to iCloud. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to my old alias. I can no longer send emails using this alias. Help!

    For years I have been using [email protected] for business.
    It is on my business cards, stationary and most of my closest correspondences are maintained off of that email.
    The documentation I've read indicates aliases should be transferred over as part of this iCloud migration but this does not seem to be the case. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to the alias. I can no longer send emails from this alias.
    How do I get this corrected?

  • I can not create an email account for my client

    I have created an email account ([email protected]) and it is sending snd recieving messages. However when I try to create an address ([email protected]) me client could not log in to the webmail. I deleted the account and re-created the address with my email as the recovery. My thinking was I would set up the email and confirm everything is working and then show the client how to reset the password. Now it I can not get the BC admin panle to send an invite email yo me. Please advise. Client is passed mad on this. I have to resolve this issue.

    When I try to set up the [email protected] email account in the BC admin panle it repeatedly continues to change the password recovery email to [email protected] no matter how I set it up. This doesn't make any sense.  We can get into that account to even set a user password.

  • TS3276 I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

    I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

    Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
    Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
    Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
    Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

  • Can't add ANY email accounts to iPhone

    I can't add any email accounts to my iPhone's mail application. (it used to work just fine) I have tried to enter my account information using my yahoo, gmail, and exchange and none work. I enter my account information and after it verifies it takes me to "account" which is only a blank screen. I have tried entering account information both directly on the mail app and under settings.
    Anyone having a similar problem? anyone have any ideas of how to fix or what's wrong?

    preciosa1435,
    Have you tried Resetting All Settings? To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
    If that doesn't work, restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone (instead of restoring from backup) should ultimately resolve the issue.

    help me.

    Ahhh after some research and trail and error.. (hours of it)... I got a work around!!! I tried it for gmail and it works fine now!! Below is what you do:-
    On inital stage please type dont type correct yahoo, gmail, hotmail or other email ID "
    for example if ur id is ****@hotmail.com that type ****@abc.com insted of hotmail. and correct it on second stage.
    Go to Mail on your phone  - Options - Settings -  scroll down to email - Options - New Mailbox
    Click - start and then NO to allow connections (that stops Nokia Messaging swinging into control)
    Now enter your hotmail address except do not put @hotmail.com at the end.  Put @abc.com
    e..g. if you email is *****@hotmail.com then enter mailto:*****@abc.com
     Now enter your password - press OK
    Now you will get an OPTION to define settings and it will allow you to manually set the POP3 or IMAP
    Now put in your correct email id and passwd while setting the IMAP. for gmail use the following >
    Enter 'imap.gmail.com' as the incoming mail server, Select 'SSL/TLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '993.'
    Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' as the outgoing mail server,Select 'StartTLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '587.'
    Save it... and you will say Wow!!! that worked!!!

    1. go to Nokia Messaging  at:  www.email.nokia.com
    2. register your  email accounts you want to add to your phone.
    3. then try and register them on your phone. it should work.
    4 for me on my e52 my hotmail.co.uk does not still work. but yahoo, gmail and ovi works.(
    5 to make hot mail work you could use the hotmail app found in your text messing folder or download it from the ovi store.

  • I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

    I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select.  My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
    Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder.  Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services".  I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

    An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

  • How can i remove the email account without deleting the email account?

    Hi
    I have an old email account which I want to remove from Mail, which I know how to do.  However I don't want to delete these emails but rather park them off-site so that if I ever need them again I can easily re-import.  By removing the email account in preferences it says it will delete all the emails etc. from my computer.  Is my only solution to copy the emails to a different location, then delete the account and if needed re-import at a later date?
    Thanks
    David

    You can do a couple of things.
    You can Export the emails to a .mbox file then Import them in which will create an Import folder in Mail; then delete your email account. Or you can just disable the email account leaving it in your list of accounts only disabled.

  • Can't sync back email accounts

    Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
    During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
    It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    Hey Kevin,
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
    Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
    You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

    Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
    To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.
