Cannot define mail box

Having just recently purchased a E70 I would like to set up my E-mail.
However when I am asked to define a mailbox type (using the mail box wizard) I can not get either the IMAP or POP button to work???
Any help would be useful/

You can add additional mailboxes if your email account is IMAP. It will not work with a POP account.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would have synced to the device when you set the account up in the mail app.

I am unable to view my In Box. Says Cannot Load Mail.

I rang the helpline who tried changing my password and then said they didn't know! I have been using icloud for over a month and was actually viewing my In Box when it froze. I can send e'mails to my account, just can't read them. Every time a box comes up saying CANNOT LOAD MAIL. Help!

Hi BA,
That's a lot of different problems; you might get a better response by dividing the specific problems into the specific forums that they are related to. This forum is only for iTunes.
Regarding your title problem (not being able to view your account information in iTunes), can you give more details? What happens when you click on the account e-mail in the upper right corner of the iTunes Music Store? Are you able to sign in?

Ernie,
Thanx a lot. It seems my domain name ran out, and I didn't get a 'renew soon' email cuz the auxiliary address they had had changed over the years.
That said, even tho I renewed I'm still not getting service. Pair mentioned it'll take up to an entire day to get reconnected; so I'll wait until tonight.
Thanx for chiming in.

Your question doesn't make much sense in English. To have no mail in your in box, you need to delete what you have.

Having more than one mail box, how do I define which will be the one to send e-mails?

I have 5 mail boxes and always when I send an e-mail, it sends automatically from one that I don't use much. How do I change for my preferred e-mail?

Mail preferences under Compose tab. Set which account to send mail from, or set it to use the highlighted account.
You might also verify in Mail preferences under Accounts, that each account has it's own SMTP server. Be sure the correct one shows for each account. I would also check the box to use only that server for that account, which will insure that the correct server and only that server will be used for the account. Otherwise if the SMTP server for the sending account fails, it will just switch to another account's server.

HT6147 After the upgrade to 7.0.6, all my mail boxes get errors saying Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.

Please help.

I'm encountering the very same issue. I updated to 7.0.6 and now I continuously get the 'Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed'.
I'm on an iPhone 5 and my email account is Outlook.com set up through the Exchange option.
I have attempted PhilipRoy's suggestion, but unfortunately it hasn't solved my issue. Please note that this happens both on WiFi and 3G.
It's driving me nuts.

Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct. I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
Thanks;
Odyssy

Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

Hi,
I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S. My internet/email provider told me to uncheck (turn off) USE SSL under Mail settings, and it worked perfectly for me.

Is there a limit to the number of mail boxes in mail?

I cannot set up a new mailbox under the mail box menu within Mail. All I get is a "boing.

Mail is set to check every 5 minutes.
The error it reports is "Could not connect to the IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Avanced tab of Account preferences"
However, I'm sure it's not a problem with the settings because 1) these settings have been fine for weeks, and 2) if i inactivate any of the accounts the others (that are showing errors) no longer show errors).
If I have fewer accounts connecting, or if I switch of SSL, then the errors go away.
I would prefer to connect using SSL, which is why I'm not simply switching off SSL and forgetting about it.

Cannot Get Mail Sending to Work

I cannot get Mail to work for sending on my other computer. (The one I keep using because my Canon scanner drivers work there but not on a "modern" system. Boo to Canon for not updating drivers for 10.6.)
I keep getting these server messages. What's my problem? The port number? What should it be?

I have a message sitting in the outgoing box. When I try to send it I get:
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
The server response was: 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed: [email protected]
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
Below that I have three server choices: smtp.me.com, smtp.me.com:dennis briskin, and smtp.me.com:[email protected] The last one should not work in any case, I believe.

Email error - "cannot get mail"

Hi,
Just hoping for a little help!
We recently had an email account disconnected by our provider in error (we changed from a mobile Internet connection to home ADSL & requested an email retention, which didn't happen!)
After weeks of dealing with our incompetent provider we have finally got the email address reconnected however I am unable to get it to work on any of our devices (iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 3, or home laptop). The account is definately active as emails are accessible through the providers website. The email address is an "additional mailbox" to the primary mailbox connected with the adsl.
The email address worked fine on our devices & laptop prior to the disconnection.
With the reconnection our provider advised we had to change the email settings to now be a pop3 account and provided the relevant details regarding servers, ports etc.. These details are exactly the same as the primary email address I have set up on all devices and which works perfectly.
I have tried deleting the account and re-adding, I have rebooted the devices and have double triple checked the settings. Still nothing! I just receive an error message saying "cannot get mail. The username or password for "pop3.xxxx.com" is incorrect." Though, I know the password is correct as its the same one we use to log in to the mailbox on our providers website and access the email.
Would anyone have any insight as to why only this particular email address can not be added to the devices "mail app"?? I love the ease of being able to just tap the mail icon and see all my different email accounts. I'd prefer to not have to manually login to our providers website to access mail on one account.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

On mail box , always appear 7messages not read

I cannot have a mail box empty , always even if all the messages treated , appear 7 and in the garbage even empty always 9 appear.

Hi Chandice
Have you tried to remove the email account and adding it back on again?

What exactly is a smart mail box?

I have searched around and cannot quite workout what the difference between a normal mail and a smart mail box is....just seems like a glorified way of implementing rules?

Annoyingly, in Lion, Smart Mailboxes have a very grim bug, rendering them only partially usable.
I have a SmartBox for 'Unread" mails.
This is usually selected as this is where I want to see mail that has got past all my rules and remains Unread.
Sadly, the Lion smartmailboxes don't update while theyre selected, even though their badge updates with the number of messages in there.
So, to actually see the unread messages I have to click to another mailbox completely and click back* to the Unread smartBox. Only then do I actually get to see the messages in there.
totally *****.
