Can't set up IMAP email

Greetings,
I'm having trouble setting up an IMAP email account. I have set up a new account through Setup > Email Settings but the Advanced Options says that the Email server type is "POP". How do I change this to IMAP?
This is for a Tour 9630 on Verizon Wireless.
Thanks,
Shane.

Hi SGoodman,
Can you please provide more information? Where are you seeing the POP server type listed? Are you referring to the server name? Have you verified with your mail server administrator that IMAP is enabled? http://bbry.lv/yeEKYS
This article should provide more information on integrating an IMAP email account. http://bbry.lv/pcA7sE
Hope this helps.

  • Can't set up IMAP email account

    I want to set up a new IMAP account in Mail on my iMac. I had no problem doing this on the Mac Mini, Mac Air or iPhone. When attempting the setup on the iMac, there seems not to be an option to select the email account type (i.e. POP3, IMAP or Exchange), as there was on the other devices. Instead, after entering the Full Name, Email Address and Password into the Add Account box, Mail searches for the account, connects to the mail server and adds it as an Exchange account, bypassing the setup steps for each of the incoming and outgoing servers. How can I overcome this and set the account up as IMAP?

    This is perplexing, if only because I have Gmail added as IMAP on all devices, and as mentioned, the new IMAP account added nicely on the other devices.
    At the first screen in your post hold the option key down, Continue will change to Create, you can choose the correct type of account then.
    And I just noticed that you are using Outlook.com email, Imap is not supported by that provider, currently only pop works (on Your Mac)

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

  • How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

  • Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

    Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

    Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
    What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

  • How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

    How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

    You do not need to specify the type of account.  If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
    Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
    You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

  • I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

    I can't set up my email on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account.  Help!

    Hi Annie,
    Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address.  If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up.  Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can i set  the same email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?

    I got an email account which is currently POP, it was setup on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since POP cannot sync the read email, every time i have to read them on three devices - MacBook, iPhone and iPad, or it shows loads of unread mails.
    I heard IMAP can solve this problem, but after set the email account up as IMAP, loads of my emails lost! Luckily most of those emails are restored from Time Machine. IMAP is too dangerous, so i changed back to POP.
    Now i'm still surffering from read emails three times, i wonder anyway to fix this problem? can i set the email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?
    Many thanks,
    X

    Normally, at least all smartphones I've used, do not delete things from the server. The Email programs on phones know enough not to delete emails you delete on the phone from the email server so you can still get them on your computer. I personally don't need or want all my emails on my phone. It is good to check emails and reply it ones that need a reply right then but otherwise I want them on my computers. Using IMAP on phone/pad may not act the same as POP and may interact with the server differently, deleting email I don't want on my phone from the server.
    I do have one IMAP email address on my phone, Google with Google Mail. All others access the servers with POP.

  • Can't set up IMAP mail - configuration cannot be verified

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up the IMAP mail from my work exchange server in a fresh install of Thunderbird. Once I'd put in the server address Thunderbird retrieved all of the security settings, which I've checked agains the provided settings that are listed in the webmail. I've also used these settings to set up IMAP mail on my phone to triple check everything. However, in the account set-up screen I still recieve the message "Configuration cannot be verified - Is your username/password correct?" (again, I checked everything I was using independently and they were accepted). Once I got out of the initial set-up screen the error changed to the following:
    "The Kerberos/GSSAPI ticket was not accepted by the IMAP server <my email address>. Please check that you are logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI realm."
    The only possibility that I can think of is that Thunderbird is trying to use my email address instead of the server to authenticate which is why I'm recieving the error. The mail address is [email protected] while the server is soliscom.uu.nl.
    Any help or suggestions that anyone has would be welcome,
    Cheers.

    Under Tools/Account Settings/<i>accountname</i>/Server Settings, check what you have for Authentication method. "Normal password" is the most common setting for secure connections, not Kerberos/GSSAPI, which seems to be why you get the error message.
    But if you are sure that Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication is required, see this article for instructions on how to make the necessary change in Config. editor:

  • Can't set up IMAP account - set up fails to connec...

    I downloaded Nokia Messaging today and I have a major problem. I set up two accounts successfully eventually -- whose idea was that 'easy' email set up anyway? The mechanism tries to guess the details and got it wrong with all the accounts I tried. Not terribly easy or efficient. Why not do it like everybody else eg mail2web?
    The problem is there is no way to set up the third account. I enter email address and password, the web setup says it can't connect and gives up. I tried to trick it by entering ficticious details, then I was asked to enter more details (servers) but again it fails. It is a university account, using IMAP on port 143 and TLS. Any way to bypass the above routine and enter the full set of correct details? Or doesn't the app support TLS? (I only see SSL in the web setup)
    Another issue: with one of the accounts I set up successfully, the From name on my handset is set to my email address instead of the actual name set on the web. When I change the name on the phone to match the name on the web Messaging responds with 'verification failed' and gives up!
    Finally, I wish there was an option for 'send copy to myself', like with the native mailer.

    After many attempts over more than a week, it created the account as [email protected] but when I try to change several settings on the handset (eg insert my name, which is currently blank) it fails to verify. More importantly, it won't let me change the From address, so I am stack with no name and the [email protected] address! The weird thing is that it does download messages, but every time it syncs it downloads another copy of every email -- I have three copies of each message under that account at the moment and I suspect I will get a lot more. Anyone solved this? 
    I really don't understand why it had to be made so difficult! The sad thing is that the designers will probably think this is more user-friendly And of course there is no support link. I emailed Nokia Support last week and they never replied.
