Cannot configure a POP3 email account.  Using OSX10.8.2

All of a sudden my wife's AT&T Yahoo mail account stopped working.  I looked at settings and found the account was changed to an IMAP instead a POP account.  I deleted the account and attempted to re-create it to no avail.  Seems when I put her account info in, it automatically creates an IMAP account.
How can force it to accept POP?
Thanks

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

    Oh, I see, the Sent ones from the POP account are gone for good once you delete an account.
    You could try some recovery SW, but the longer the Mac has been used the less chance, & these aren't free other than demos to see if they could find any, you'd need to ask for older versions also a likelyhood...

  • Syncing with POP3 email accounts

    I'm just about at my wit's end, having spent the last few days trying to get MobileMe to do what Apple claims it can do. It can't.
    That said, I now must figure out how to get my iPhone to directly access and sync with a couple of POP3 email account I have. I have tried going to settings, choosing "other", and adding in the correct info. It says that it "can't make the connection with SSL" and would I like to try without that, but when I say "OK", that doesn't work either.
    Why is this so difficult? I replaced a Treo with this iPhone and am now having second thoughts. I mean, it can't access a POP3 account? What 90% of the world uses? I thought the iPhone was ready for "real" usage and not just a kid's phone. Frustrating. I just want to read my email... this should be "PDA 101"
    OK, enough raving. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    Regarding email, what I was trying to do was have access to my already existing email, not the me.com email. He told me that I’d be able to sync my existing emails with MobileMe... but you can't, at least as far as I can tell.
    A MM account can check the incoming mail server for a POP account - this option is available at the MM website. Messages received from a POP account will be downloaded to the Inbox mailbox for your MM account. The downside is when replying to or forwarding a message received from a POP account. The reply or forward will be sent from your MM account.
    The idea is to use the MM email account as your email account. I've had a .Mac account for some time which was converted to a MM account. I moved quite a bit between 2000 and 2004. At the time, I was using the email account provided by my ISP. Every time I moved, I had to change my email address, and most ISPs don't provide or support an authenticated SMTP server. I started using a PowerBook as my primary computer in 2000 and if I wasn't connected to the internet via my ISP, I was unable to send messages with the email account provided by my ISP. I decided to start using my .Mac account as my primary email account which solved a number of problems for me. When moving, I didn't have to change my email address and since .Mac has an authenticated SMTP server, I was able to send messages with my .Mac account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection.
    MM continues this for me with my PowerBook and with my iPhone. I can send messages with my MM account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection - with the Mail.app on my Mac, with the iPhone's Mail client, or with Outlook or OE on a Windows PC.
    Meanwhile, I’ve set up these two email accounts and both can receive email but neither can send, although my me.com address will send & receive.
    Because a MM account has an authenticated SMTP server, and your POP accounts probably don't. Who is the email account provider for these POP accounts?
    I spent about 1/2 hour this afternoon with Apple tech support who couldn't figure that out and told me I need to do a complete factory reset on my iPhone, which will bring it back to original factory specs, causing me to loose all downloaded programs, information, etc., although I could back it up first with iTunes.
    If you are syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account and your contact information and calendar events are available at the MM "cloud", this data will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes. Other than that in regards to contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. If you aren't syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account, you should be syncing this data with the supported application on your computer and if so, this data remains on your computer and will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes.
    All downloaded applications from the app store should also be available in your iTunes library, which won't be lost when doing a restore.
    iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone for all data on your iPhone not included with the sync process such as; most settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, data stored on your iPhone by 3rd party applications, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process. Before restoring, the first step should be a sync to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
    Since all data available on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup or should be available and remain on your computer such as your iTunes content, photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone, etc., nothing will or should be lost during the restore process.
    I had a Treo before the iPhone and setting up the email on it took me about 5 minutes. The contacts and calendar sync flawlessly with Outlook, and the setup for that was probably 15 minutes.
    Which application did you use to sync your Treo direct with Outlook on your computer for contact information and calendar events?
    So my secondary point is that the iPhone is not really ready for corporate life yet unless you are willing to put a LOT of effort into setup, which I was.
    A MobileMe account is not designed for business use - it is designed for personal use and the idea is using the MM email address and account as your primary email account/address.
    I access my MM account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Setup for both took minutes. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account for over a year with my first generation iPhone, or with my iPhone 3G. This is when connected via various wi-fi networks with different ISPs and via EDGE or 3G.
    If you are trying to access legacy POP accounts that don't have an authenticated SMTP server, you will have problems. I don't know what was different with your Treo in this regard, but the device has nothing to do with an ISP blocking the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for the internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This has nothing to do with the iPhone.

  • Cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone5

    i cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone5. I have been trying for many times 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 iphone5, but not the yahoo account.

    Hello laurataylor and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Is this Outlook account being integrated using the Outlook Web Acccess (OWA) protocol?
    Have a look at KB02858 for issue integrating an OWA account
    Also, you may need to have your IT Admin take a look at some Firewall settings to allow connection to the BlackBerry Internet Service infrastructure.

  • Multiple Email Accounts using MS Mail

    I want to setup multiple email accounts using MS mail.  My already has an account, but I want to add an account for my son.  I've added the account on verizon and in MS mail.  However, I want to have completly separate accounts so that when my son opens his email  he only see his email and when my wife opens her email, she only sees her email.  Right now, when MS mail is opened both their emails come up and when they send an email, they must select which email account they are sending from.
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    One option would be to not use MS Mail (I assume you really mean Windows Live Mail?).   You could create accounts for them and have them just use the Web mail interface to get to their mail.
    Another option would be to give each person their own "user account" on your machine instead of all logging into the computer as the same userid.   If you do this, any mail settings will remain with the individual account.

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201320 how to set a pop3 email account on ipad retina

    How do you set up a pop3 email account on my Ipad retina

    As stated in the article you came from, did you tap Other and then enter your information for your provider?

  • Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

    Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

    would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
    Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
    I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
    MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
    I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
    Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

  • Update 10.5.6 Cannot log into POP email account

    After the upgrade to 10.5.6 I cannot log into my email account anymore. I get a message saying that the mail server does not recognize user or password. My wife has an account with the same provider and it works, however, when she tried to create a test account with the same information she gets the same behavior. Additionally I cannot see any of the email previously stored locally, the folders are there but they are empty. Any help would be appreciated

    PS. We have tried deleting the plist in Preferences and a few other things suggested in this discussion thread already, nothing works.

    This issue may be closed.
    The correct account information was entered, but the preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) was freshly saved upon closing Mail, ie., the original, corrupt Mail preferences file was retained, so Mail would not connect to the account.
    When I closed Mail and deleted the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) Mail was then able to connect to my account and download. I was also able to Import email from a previous version of OS X and this mail was imported to an "Import" folder.

  • I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account

    I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account.  I have entered all of the required details but when it comes to verifying the account it does not progress any further and remains at the verification stage.  I need to go in some how and change the security type and the port numbers.  I believe this is in advanced setting but I dont know how to get there.
    Any help appreciated

    Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.
