Can't set up mail account in iPad 2

My email account was from my company hp.com, but I was not able to set up a mail account in my new iPad. It always said "unable verify account information",
I tried many times by adding all details I have, but I still can't get it work.
Please help me to stengthen out the problem and thank you so much for your time.

What type of email account - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
If an Exchange account, does your employer support accessing the account with an email client on a personal computer at home and/or with a device such as the iPad?

Can't set up mail account on iPOD

Can anyone tell me how to set up my email account on iPOD? I'm connected through cogeco cable and have an address ending in cogeco.ca
I have gone through settings and clicked add new account on my iPOD. It seems to recognize it. Under Incoming mail server it says pop.cogeco.ca. And under Outgoing Mail server it says smtp.cogeco.ca
When I save it, it comes back with the message: Cannot Connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Now I'm stuck!
Anybody save me?
thanks...Kurt

Did you try setting it up "without SSL" ??
Go into Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Congeco account> Advanced> You can turn SSL on or off there if needed.
Try both ways...
Also look at Authentication.
Most say "Password" but you have other choices under Authentication.
Not sure how Congeco is supposed to be setup.

Can't set up mail account pop3

Hello, I'm trying to use the mac mail program but it will not let me set up an account. I'm trying to get my register.com mail and I don't have access to any selections from the drop-down menu. I've properly put in my information but I keep getting the same message that I cannot connect. When I used Entourage in the past, it worked just fine. What's up?
Thanks for the help!

Your ISP, Time Warner, would provide you with both a free POP account, and a SMTP server, should you desire. In many cases, if you set up at least one POP account (but not necessarily use it for any emailing) with the ISP, you can then be allowed to use their SMTP to send with other addresses and accounts, all according to the protocols they have listed in any support documents. Some (a few) providers limit sending with their SMTP from addresses of their domain.
What type of account would TW provide -- a RoadRunner, perhaps? If so, then I would expect that SMTP to work with your register.com account. However, if register.com provides a SMTP, then you might be able to use it, but perhaps be required to present it on something other than Port 25.
With some cable providers, like Time Warner, the SMTP is authenticated from the IP address of the modem they provide, and no additional Username and Password would be needed on the Outgoing Server/SMTP, so it might not be required to even set up the POP with them.
More info, please.

HT204051 can I set up 3G account on iPad without wifi???

I have given up on connecting my ipad2 to wifi. If I sign up for cellular service, will that work to get my iPad on the internet, or will I still need to connect wirelessly to set up 3G service? Thank you for any advice!

Cellular is kind of expensive...
For what it is worth, there have been reports you can connect an lighting to a usb-camera-connection kit to a usb hub to a usb-to- ethernet connector to get an internet connection.

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private?

StashPro is an app which can keep things private.
Photos/documents/videos can be kept private and private browsing is possible with this.
no matter what you are doing, pressing the home button or power button locks the application and can be opened only by a password set by you while others can access rest of the applications.
what i do is login to the mail program in the browser and leave it there. so, the moment you click on this app and give the password, you will be taken to your mail (on the website).
But the best part is that you can keep all sensitive documents hidden no matter how many people use it.
hope this helps. BTW, it costs less than 2 and half dollars and its worth it. Google StashPro and go to their website to look at additional features.
You can check the free version before buying the pro version.

I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there. Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

Setting up hotmail account on ipad 2

i need to set up hotmail account on ipad how do i do that?

You actually now have the option to set up Hotmail as an Exchange account (a HUGE plus). Here are directions:
Microsoft recently announced that it it now allowing users to connect their iPhones, iPads and iPod touches to its free webmail service – Windows Live Hotmail – via Exchange ActiveSync. Before, the only option for Hotmail users wanting to access their email on the go was to set up their accounts via POP3 or login via a web browser. Because the POP3 protocol does not reflect changes to email statuses (whether read, deleted, etc) with the server version, so your emails end up out of sync. Exchange ActiveSync, on the other hand, reflects your changes across all devices. Plus, it means all your new Hotmail messages can be pushed directly to your iPhone or iPad.
Even better, setting it up on your iPhone or iPad is relatively simple (and thankfully, the same process on either device):
Open Settings and select ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’.
Select ‘Add account’, and choose ‘Microsoft Exchange’.
For ‘Email’, enter your Hotmail email address ([email protected], for example).
Leave the ‘Domain’ field blank, but enter your Username (probably [email protected]) and Password (hopefully not yourname1234).
Give the account a description (this will appear in the Email app to identify the account). Select Next.
After that has verified, a new field – ‘Server’ – will appear. Enter m.hotmail.com in this field. Select Next again.
Choose which services you want to sync (Mail, Contacts and Calendars), and you’re done.
You can also set up how many days worth of mail you want to sync across and which folders should push emails to you.
To set up whether you want your email pushed to your phone (it’s an all-or-none decision if you have multiple Push-enabled accounts), go back to ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’, and select ‘Fetch New Data’. Here you can toggle Push on/off or choose to fetch data every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly or manually (the latter will go easiest on your battery).

Mail Account on IPAD Air

I have a brand new Ipad Air which I am setting up for my mother. When setting the mail account and server it keeps coming up with username and password not recognised which it is not. It is a yahoo mail address via BTInternet. Is this something to do with it? It is very frustraiting as all the details are correct.

Since Mail is a dedicated client app (in comparison to a regular webmail session, which runs as a standard web transaction on port 80 [HTTP] or 443 [HTTPS]), it will try to contact Yahoo's servers directly thru secured ports. And those may have been blocked by your ISP.
More info: I don't do Yahoo, but do have both corporate MS Exchange and Google Mail accounts which work just fine on the iPad. Exchange uses incoming IMAP port 993 and outgoing SMTP port 587, both to outlook.office365.com. Gmail uses incoming IMAP port 993 to imap.googlemail.com but outgoing SMTP port 465 to smtp.googlemail.com. If any of these ports were blocked by my various ISPs, the mail wouldn't flow (and iOS wouldn't be able to complete the account setup).
Maybe someone can pipe in which ports and hosts are used for Yahoo Mail?

Our family has 1 Apple id. My sons received many itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id? If I create new ids, will they lose access to the content purchased under wmy id?

Our family has 1 Apple id with 2 itouches, 1 ipad and 1 iphone. My sons received several itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id and deposit their gift cards into them (like a bank account)? If I can't, it seems that I will have to keep track of each of their purchases until they reach the limit of their gift cards, before they go over. This makes no sense. If I have to create new ids, will they lose access to all the content purchased under my id?

- You can't create subaccounts.
- You can create new account(s). The media on the iPod is still usable. It does create more work when updating apps since yo have to sign into the account that purchased them to update them. If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need update you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
- To change accounts for purchasing go to Settings> Store (or Settings.iTunes and App store depending upon the iOS) and sign out and sign in with different account.

HT2500 Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

You would configure the iPad to connect to your email provider's IMAP servers. How that's done is specific to whatever mail provider you use. If it's one of the major email services like AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo, then you should be able to just create a new mail account on the iPad and follow the instructions you see on the iPad. If your email is not listed, then you'll need to contact your mail provider so you can know what to enter for the server name, etc.
