Can't setup optimum email account?

I just got my macbook pro and i was trying to set up my optimum email. It wasnt working in the mail setup on my mac so i tried to log onto the optimum online site to make sure it was the right logon and password. I logged onto the account but once i clicked "mail", the browser would not load any further. When i try to setup my email, this shows up:
Logging in to the optonline.net POP server “mail.optonline.net” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
Help?!

E63 here.
What happened to me was very odd and I tried dozens of solutions found on the web, and none of it works.
I installed Nokia Email Service yesterday and it all worked perfectly. I just filled my gmail addess and password and everything was configured automatically and worked perfectly. But then, on the following day, when it should have syncronized (as per the settings of email auto-retrieval), it didn't. Tried to sync manually - nothing. Something was wrong. Decided to uninstall Nokia Email and install again. Bad decision. =(
I have already my gmail mailbox configured (but as a default Consumer mailbox, not Nokia Email Service). Now I'm trying to create a newly configured Nokia Email mailbox for this email account.
I go to Messages > Options > Settings > E-Mail > New mailbox 
(my phone is in portuguese, so I don't know if I'm putting the right options)
Then I chose "Nokia Email Service" instead of "E-mail" (which I already have set-up)
Then I fill my email address and password and it tries to connect - Error "Can't connect to server. Try again later" is all I get.
So I tried the solution of putting in the wrong email address so it will let me fill all the connection settings myself. After trying that for a number of times (it kept giving me "connect" errors as well) it finally worked, but what I end up with is not a Nokia Email mailbox, but a regular (Consumer) mailbox, identical to the one I already have - which is not as nearly as cool.
Can't get around this one. Any hints?

  • Help needed: can not setup personal email account

    I just got a new BB8900 without a data plan.  I tried to setup my gmail account througn setup wizard-> email setup, but in this window,I only see the option of " i want to usa a work email with blackberry Enterprise server", but I don't see" I want to create or add an email address".
    I am not sure whether I did somthing wrong when I first turn on the phone, but now I don't know how to setup a personal account. 

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    To be able to use integrated emails, internet, and other things, you need The Blackberry Data Plan...even a generic data plan does not give you everything. Without any data plan, well...
    If you want services, you should contact your carrier to enable the services that you desire.
    Good luck and let us know!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • How can I Setup my Email Account in Mavericks?

    The existing description on Apple support is not valid.
    There ist no possibility to setup the account manually to e.g. IMAP.

  • When trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup.  What would cause this?

    when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup.  What would cause this?  Better yet, how do I fix it?

    I have checked this on my device.  I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account.  There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account.  If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

  • Want to setup another email account is iCloud

    Want to setup another email account throught iCloud

    Account? Or just an extra address?
    if you just want an extra address you can add up to three 'email aliases'. These are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.
    You should however be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to add an extra full account you will need to go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID: you will need another email address to do this - you can't use the one already associated with your current ID.
    Then you can go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and add it there (Lion 10.7.2 minimum required).

  • 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

  • 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.

    Go to System prefs
    Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
    Then select Other
    Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
    Then go to google for the settings you need:
    First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
    Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
    These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

  • 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.
    Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
