HT4061 I cannot add my email account...for 2 days it keeps saying, yahoo server unavailable...but I have it on my computer!!

I cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone. I have been trying for 2 days and it keeps saying Yahoo server is unavailable...I can access my email on my computer, and was also able to add another email account to my iphone, but not the yahoo account.

I checked the settings as per your link above and I have them set up correctly on my ipad (I have yahoo plus). That is to say I have added the plus.stmp.mail.yahoo.com as an outgoing server with the server port 465 but it still doesn't work.
Annoyingly, I also took the advice of some earlier posts and changed my yahoo password and now I can't get email on my iphone 4 either - it was working perfectly before. I put in the new password and now both the ipad and iphone give me the "server unavailable" message. Grrrrrr....

5.0 update cannot add another email account from same server

Updated my 3Gs iPhone to the 5.0. Unable to add a second email account. Receive message "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "mobile.charter.net" is incorrect. I did not have trouble having two email accounts before the update. Can anyone assist me?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a standard pop mail account provided by UK ISP Virgin Media. I can setup my hotmail account on it with no problems.
I have had a play around with the settings (I am an IT Engineer) and once the hotmail account is set up, I can then edit the account settings and change them for the virgin media settings with no errors or hanging. However, when checking for email, it never downloads any.
I have this account set up on other devices / phones and setting the messages to be left on the server on all the devices and the account behaves correctly on these devices. I know there is email on the server and have sent test email to that account.
If I delete all the mail accounts, and try to recreate the virgin media pop account, then the inital problem occurs.

Why am I unable to add an outlook (email) account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?

Why am I unable to add an outlook account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?
I recently opened an outlook email account which I have paired with my phone. Which is probably because on the Iphone there is an option for “outlook” when setting up an email account. However, when I go to add the email account to my imac there is no option for “outlook”. There is however an option for “exchange” which I may have tried to use however it asks for server information which I do not have.
I also tried to populate the add another account feature however it still don’t seem to recognise the email account.
Can some help? What am I do wrong? v

The OP is talking about an Outlook.COM Email address. Not MS Office Outlook.
To the OP:
You have not entered the Outlook.com Server addresses correctly.

Outlook is a Microsoft application, part of MS Office, its not an email service.
You will need to enter the logon information (username, password and the name of the incoming and outgoing server names). The ISP that provides your email service, ie Virgin Google Yahoo will have this information on their website support page.

As asked above by unleashurself:
Do you have the BlackBerry Data Plan on your mobile provider account? You must, in order to get the personal email setup option. You will need to call your provider and have those services added to your SIM account.

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

Hi,
I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
I then tried to add a Yahoo one.
This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
As you say this has never arrived.
( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
I then tried an iCloud ID.
(FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself. (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
EDIT.
Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

How to add an email account to the inbox

HHow to add an email account to inbox on an ipad

If you want to add a new email account you do that in the settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add account
If you want to add new mailboxes or folders to an existing account - you must have an IMAP email account in order to do that. When you are in the mail app - go to the window that shows your inbox, sent and trash folders. If there is an Edit button at the top - tap that to add another mailbox.
If you do not see that edit button - you did not have an IMAP account and you cannot add additional folders or mailboxes.

How do I add an email account for my kids

I am trying to add additional email accounts for my kids. How do I go about creating one?

Log in with your primary account, then navigate to the Account Profile page. At the bottom, there's a section called Sub-accounts. You should have a button there for adding a new sub account.

Did you check your restriction settings on your ipod for changing accounts in Settings/General/Restrictions?

My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we both receive an the same emails. If one of us opens the email on their account it automatically considers the email as read on both accounts. I would like to change this.

My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we receive the same emails. Now when one of us opens an email that has been sent to both of us, Mavericks considers the email as read on both accounts. Mountain Lion did not operate this way. Can I change this? Thanks

By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...
