Cannot access Existing Accoun Wizard Settings to change to IMAP?

I cleared the check boxes - Check for new messages at start up
Download messages every x minutes
I clicked on FILE - NEW - EXISTING MAIL ACCOUNT -
but it just opened the Wizard called 'Mail Account set up'
When alternatively I open the Server Settings, that allows me to change Server Name, User Name and port but not Server Type.
I presume hat I am either miss reading the instructions or missing a step, or have already got another setting wrong - Help please?

Thank you.
the Instructions from my ISP did not make that clear - I have managed it now and am effectively now presented with a new email account in Thunderbird with the same address as before.

Depending on what your warranty period still looks like I would suggest service.

CANNOT ACCESS DOWNLOAD FOR READER EVEN WITH CHANGED PASSWORD

CANNOT ACCESS DOWNLOAD FOR ADOBE READER EVEN WITH A CHANGED PASSWORD AND I HAVE BEEN ON CHAT

There are several possibilities as to why a user account may
not be correctly available or a password to it reset to fix it.
One of them may be, if the short name of the computer or of
an account was changed by the user; and later the system
may appear different or changed, with some of the user acct
settings or preferences no longer as they were prior to that.
There is a way to create a new admin level user account and
then move the older user info into the new account; then go
in and delete the other one. I am not certain as to how to do
this; but the topic has come up in these discussions, and the
general path is about the same from Panther through Leopard.
A few details may be named different, but similar as things go.

• How do I change owner's name in my Mac:
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howto_change_owners_name_applemac.html
While these kinds of details may not be behind the exact problem in
the computer in question, directory and user account issues do often
have similar causes. Often, they are user-caused events. If the general
Directory of information on the hard disk drive has a problem, the use
of a third-party disk tool such as Disk Warrior is usually advised. If that
were needed, usually more evidence across the system would appear.
There may be a way to use a Setup Assistant to recreate a new user
experience and start over with a new admin account and user name.
Then go into the system to ferret out the old user info.

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to change my iCloud account on my Mac. I cannot access the account. I've changed the password once already. Any suggestions? My iPhone's account is fine.

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to make changes to my iCloud account on my Mac., I cannot access the account via System Preferences. I've changed the password once already. My iPhone's iCloud account is fine. At this point my iCloud account no longer is working with my Mac. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I finally figured out the answer to my own question. I created a new iCloud account on my Mac. Problem solved!

TS3988 I cannot access my e-mail settings on my iPad

I can no longer access my e-mail settings or add additional accounts on my 3rd gen IPad. The mail works fine (send and recieve). I can see the names of all three accounts and my subscribed calendars.... but they are all subdued. tapping dragging and shaking all seem to do nothing but frustrate me more. I have tried to access them, on WIFI, on Cellular and even offline in Airplane mode without success. I have tried re-booting and connecting to iTunes and trying without any luck. I am hoping for a simple setting solution, but have had no luck with the Apple support web page. I welcome anything short of erasing my iPad.

My post led me to similar questions. The solution was found in an unrelated problem when a forum member suggested going to "General" and then "Restrictions". There I found"Accounts" and it was set to "Don't allow changes". A simple click and I was up and running. I was going to delete, but hope the post will help another.

Just tried my online banking, the page doesn't always load and it won't show my account names or passwords.
It looks like none of my log in information for any sites I use often will show in Firefox.
I can't even access my e-mail to see if I'm getting answers to this problem.

HT5622 Cannot access the App store until I change my region. How do I do that?

I am not able to download app until I change my region. How do I do it

This might help you: http://osxdaily.com/2013/05/24/change-country-itunes-app-store/
In short, if your account has a credit card associated to it, it probably won't be possible to change your region.

TS3899 Help! I cannot access my settings and facebook settings within 'Settings'. This means I cannot change passwords, delete or add email accounts. I've tried updating and restoring my phone but to no avail. Can anyone help me please?

Can anyone help please? I cannot access my email account settings within 'Settings', so I cannot change my details for existing email accounts, nor can I delete them or add others.
I can't access my Facebook settings within 'Settings' either but when I try to use the app it asks me to enter my password into my Facebook account in settings, but I can't do that either.
I've updated my software, restored and backed up my phone but it still doesn't work. Troubleshooting doesn't cover this.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Do you have restrictions on? If so, that would prevent you from making changes in some areas of the iPhone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

Can I talk to someone in Blackberry who can solve my email problem? Blackberry premium email team have been unable to help me for the last 5 weeks despite many attempts.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I changed my apple id ages ago but i cannot access icloud from my

I changed my apple id ages ago bit i cannot access my icloud from my iphone as its asking for my old pasword, which i cant remember. I know i have to delete to asccount but i cant turn off 'find my iphone' with our my old passsword. how can i find out my old password please?

Hello laurascfc
If you changed the Apple ID and did not create a new one, then you will need to change it back to the old Apple ID. Once you change it, then you can sign out of Find My iPhone. After that is done, then change it back.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you created a new iCloud account and the old account still exists, check out the article below for steps on how to reset that password.
