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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Wrong place. You're looking in /Library/Preferences/ but you need to be looking in your user library, which is at /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
    The tilde ~ is a shortcut indicating your home folder. So you can just click in your home folder, then look in the Library/Preferences for the file.
