Can't set up a pop email account

I have a new iPhone 4S.
I have 3 email addresses, 2 work fine but my other can only accept mail, I can't send from it. I have deleted the account and set it up again but it's the same. I have just noticed that even though I have put my pop incoming and outgoing server addresses, it has set it up as an IMAP account and I can't seem to change it or even choose to set up a POP account so consequently I can't use it.
I synch my iPad and iPhone though iTunes [I am not using iClud or Mobile Me] and it all synchs fine onto my iPad which is showing the troublesome account as a Pop account and not an IMAP, it's only on my new phone that I cant set it as a POP account.
Can anyone help?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps.

    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

  • I can't set up an imap email account on new ipad.

    I went to settings and did everything required to set up my imap email account.  The account won't send or receive emails.  The internet connection is great.  I can set up a Gmail account with no problems, but the imap account won't work.  I had my ISP reset my password, so that isn't a problem.  Any suggestions?

    hi problem is, when i start on the first screen - name,email add etc it then goes off and gets the info automatically and sets it up as a POP account - how do i change it to IMAP?
    Thanks

  • Can I set up a Mac email account on my old Macbook and iPhone?

    I have a Macbook 2.1 (2007 I think) running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 2BG Ram, and an iPhone 4S. I would like to set up a Mac email account which will run and sync on both devices. Is this possible? I’d be grateful for any guidance.

    Just to clarify, my understanding is that to use iCloud, I would need a Mac which can run Mountain Lion or higher. But my Macbook (as described above) is not capable of running Mountain Lion. Certainly the official Apple site says it's not.  I believe some people with similar spec Macbooks are successfully using Mountain Lion but I'd prefer not to try this if it slows my computer down. Unless someone persuades me it'll work fine, I'd prefer an email solution which I could use with Snow Leopard and the iPhone.
    I have looked on the official Apple support site and elsewhere but I can't figure out whether it's possible to create some kind of Mac email account (@iCloud or @me?) which would work on my old Mac as well as on my iPhone 4S. I'd welcome any advice..

  • I can't set up my personal email account

    Hi!  am hoping someone might be able to help.  My storm was delivered this morning and I have been unable to set up my personal email accounts through the setup wizard.  I only have the option to set up a work email account using a Blackberry Enterprise server and NOT add or create an account.
    I've already completed the suggestions of a previous post
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&thread.id=483
    i.e. setting up mailing account with vodafone and trying to activate on the wireless network but nothing seems to work.  Am I just being too impatient?? Do I have to wait for activation?  Or am I just stupid?!?!?
    Any suggestions much appreciated. 

    Rick you need to call them and let them know you have a new BlackBerry and have them register the PIN and IMEI number on your account, and re-establish the BIS account to your SIM.

  • Cannot set up my POP email account

    I have a POP email account from my hosting service. At home I use this with Apple Mail, with the outgoing server to be my ISP. Works fine.
    I have tried entering all this info on the Touch, and it spins a long time verifying pop settings" and then fails.
    Sometimes I get a dialog about a bad certificate, or about trying without SSL, which i say yes to. But no luck.
    My Mobile Me and Google accounts work fine.
    Help!?

    Let me guess, you're using Charter? Check out this support thread...a solution has not been found yet but it could be helpful. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7073620

  • How do I set up a POP email account (not an LDAP account)

    When I try to establish a new email account with my COX provider, the mail program defaults to an LDAP account. LDAP doesn't seem to allow me to leave my messages on the COX server after I have read and deleted them on my MACBook. The POP protocol allows messages to be left on the server for a specific number of days
    How do I force the account to be set up as a POP account?.

    Howdy Jerry,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to setup your COX email account as a POP account in Mail on your MacBook Pro, which is running OS X Mountain Lion. The first article will guide you to the Mail account configuration panes where you can make the change, but I recommend reading the other two articles linked below also because they will tell you more about the types of email accounts that Mail supports and ensure the accounts are setup in a way that won’t cause more issues in the future.
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Send and receive mail for all your accounts
    Set up your accounts
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    Click an account type, enter your account information, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    Make sure the apps you want to use with the account are selected.
    Mail (Mountain Lion): About account types
    Mail settings you might need from your email provider
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't set up microsoft EXCHANGE EMAIL ACCOUNT

    Tried everything to set up a microsoft exchange email account and the mail setup wizard tells me to go to the microsoft online website to log in instead.
    Has anyone had any luck setting it up through the mail application?
    Thanks.

    Was it a hotmail or outlook . com account you were trying to setup ? Both of those accounts can only use pop without a third party program.
