Cannot setup my abs internet to use e-mail through my iphone

I am trying to set up my email account on my i phone. I press mail, then I go to other and try to set up a new account.
Then I put in my email and password.
Then when I get to the imap/pop set up area things dont work as well.
name-tom birkinbine
address [email protected]
description -defaults to [email protected]
incoming mail server
host name mail1.absinternet.com
user name [email protected]
password I put it in
outgoing mail server
host name mail1.absinternet.com
then the username and password it says optional and I just leave it alone. (I have tried putting my info in these fields the same way I did for the incoming mail server)
After doing this it just says verifying pop account information and that circle starts to spin.
Then it says...CANNOT CONNECT USING SSL
Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
either way if i press yes or no it does not end up working?
CAN someone PLEASE help me set up my e-mail through my phone. I have a blackberry curve which it has been working through for the last year, and apple tells me that the iphone can do it as well. I just do not know how. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

There is no Pages for Windows to open the file, so you will have to:
Menu > File > Export > Word or PDF

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

TS1398 I can't connect to the internet while using wi fi on my iphone 4S.

I can't connect to the internet while using wi fi on my iphone 4S. I can connect on my computer and on my IPad but not with my iphone. I have tried everything. Once or twice it did connect but then disconnected immediately. I have tried everything.

If you have truly tried "everything" then there is no hope of it ever working again. However, have you tried rebooting your router?
Have you tried Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings?

HT4759 I want to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my pc. icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy and frustrating because my PC is ancient, I run XP, & these DO NOT MEET req's for iCloud. Is there a email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?

I NEED to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my PC. I need to use both.
Trying to use icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy (STOP SCRIPT WARNINGS EVERY FEW MINUTES) and frustrating because:
1. my PC is ancient (but nicely refurbished/fast)
2. I run XP (with both Firefox and Chrome- newest versions)
3. thusly, I DO NOT MEET SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for iCloud.
In my passed attempts I found that
1. Yahoo doesn't work well on iPhone
2. Gmail doesnt work well on iPhone.
I must be missing something... an app or... maybe a donated/ NEW FREE MAC! (That would be sweet! Ha.)
Is there an email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?
or... Please say it isn't true: I would love a Mac tablet or desktop. We have no money for a mac. SOL? Is this iCloud apple tech only for wealthy middle class and above who can afford to have the newest and best of everything?

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Time Capsule disconnects internet when using web server through port forwarding

My current config is: 2TB Time Capsule running 7.6.3, Mac Pro running Lion (10.7.5), MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and a couple of MacBook Pro Retinas running Mountain Lion. My current ISP is Comcast.
I have the Time Capsule set up to port forward port 80 to the Mac Pro for the purpose of running a web server. Most of the traffic is shuttling fairly large m4v files back and forth to work (work product from video editing work). I can reach the webserver on the Mac Pro just fine from the outside world, and can list files in the directory just fine. When I initiate a download (via right click on a link, "Save As..." or whatever), the Time Capsule reports that the Internet has been disconnected, and all machines inside my network lose access to the outside world. I have to either power cycle the Time Capsule, or disconnect/reconnect the Cat-6 cable between the cable modem and the Time Capsule to re-establish the connection. Interestingly, the download continues and completes on the other end without issue (so, the connection is actually still there!).
Before switching to Comcast, I was on AT&T Uverse - Uverse includes a router, so I had the TIme Capsule set up in Bridge Mode. That worked fine. I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port. I then hooked the Mac Pro up directly to the cable modem. I can initiate a download without issue, and I continue to stay connected to the Internet without problem. Called Comcast anyway - they report no errors on the line, but reset the whole device chain anyway. No change in behaviors.
I tried downgrading the Time Capsule software to 7.6.2 (the earliest version that came on it). No dice, same behavior.
So... I called Apple. Complete and utter FAIL. Apple Support reports that they have no training in the port forwarding features of the Time Capule or Airport products, and cannot help me resolve the issue because of that. So, I have a $300 router that apparently cannot perform a simple routing function (download through a forwarded port), that I cannot troubleshoot (because Airport software v7 is an epic fail in that regard), made by a company who cannot support it - and everything this $300 device is doing can be done by a $50 device with a $100 external hard drive?
Do I understand this situation correctly? What have I missed in trying to troubleshoot this thing?

Excellent summary.. I think you have covered all the salient points most thoroughly.
Port forwarding on the TC I would put into the category of "epic fail"
I have a nasty feeling it just doesn't work in many cases. Clearly from your situation the port is forwarded correctly.. it is the actual download that is causing the device to crash.. which is probably not the port forwarding itself that is at fault but rather the external link and opening another port for the download to happen.
Many of the issues were caused by using icloud and btmm.. which would work a lot better btw. Although the hassle there is needing to offer that as a service to any Tom Dick or Harry.
Let me suggest a work around or other things to try.
I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port.
Use 5.6 utility.. more info below. And take the firmware of this unit (Gen1) back to 7.5.2 (before icloud mess ups in 7.6).
You can go back to 7.5 firmware also in Gen4 TC if it is more than about 14months old.. Simply hold down the option key when you select firmware and the old versions will show up. If your TC came with 7.6.1 (the 7.6.2 was withdrawn as it was even bigger failure than 7.6.3). then you cannot go back.
You might also find downloading via http is not as reliable as using FTP.. FTP is a better and more efficient protocol. It should be no problem to setup ftp server on the mac pro to allow download via ftp even with a browser.
But in the end.. your $50 router suggestion.. well perhaps a little more than that.. $80-100 will work very well.. also this router can be setup with a Hard Disk and offer the files to the internet via FTP.. without needing full network access to your internal network.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Internet connectivity using E51 modem through USB

Dear ALL,
I have been using my E51 as a modem for my laptop. After 2 days of usage the USB driver reinstalled automatically. After then I couldn't use the phone to browse the net. Whenever, I try to establish the connection the program says connection could not be established as another program is accessing or the modem is not configured properly.
After, trying lot of stuff. I uninstalled all the nokia programs from my computer.
Yesterday, I downloaded the latest PC Suite 7.1 and installed it. But when i click on the internet it says modem not found. Later, I couldn't find the USB icon at the bottom most toolbar.
The issue with drivers usually come up when the USB is disconnected manually (Usually we have to remove it safely by stoping all programs).
Can NOKIA please help me?

Try going to your pc control panal > add/remove program > look for pc connectivity sollution > change > repair.
you must be logged in with the admin account.
-then try to connect using one touch access from PC Suite again.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Safari cannot attach a Keynote file when using Yahoo Mail or Hotmail...

I want to send a Keynote file in Yahoo mail to my friend, but when I hit the "choose file" button, the file appeared grey and I was unable to select it. I switch to Hotmail and the same thing happen. I also notice that the same thing happen to a Pages file. I have the newest version of both Pages, Keynote and Safari.

I tried to attach a Keynote theme file (.kth) since I don't have any Keynote files, and it was greyed out. However, if I use the contextual menu to create a an archive of the .kth file, that zip archive will attach.

Using Outlook Mail on an iPhone 4S

I use outlook on a PC and have it hooked up to my iPhone 4S. On my desktop PC I have folders set up for my mail and drag my mail from my inbox to those mail folders. On my iPhone 4S I can see those folders, but none of the mail that I have placed in those folders on my desktop shows up in the folders, all the mail is still in my inbox. This makes it extremely difficult to search mail when I have to look through hundreds of e-mails instead of just going to the correct folder. Does anyone know how to ensure that my folders on my iPhone get updated?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Mail suddenly stopped working and also cannot access mail through Settings iphone 4

The mail partially opens for a second and then crashes. I see some suggestions for deleting the mail program but when I go to Settings the Mail, Calendar and Contact button won't open.

I still have not been able to open mail preferences on my iphone 4s so I can't even delete or add accounts. I reset everything (after trying various soft resets), started all over again as a new phone and updated the IOS but still can't open mail settings or the mail app. Prior to the "fix" for the Excess exchange account activity related to calendar, I reported the problem and have have gotten zero responses. Although I was using gmail exchange accounts for google apps for education, I did NOT have a problem with calendar, just mail. My calendars still sync just fine, but have resorted to using gmail app and yahoo mail app to get my various mail accounts on my phone. I know this doesn't help you but maybe someone will see a pattern here.

Likely that is from other apps on your phone that you have allowed access to it.

I changed my Gmail password and cannot access my mail through my iPhone. Why?

I changed my password on my Gmail account on my computer but now I cannot access my emails on my iPhone. It continues to say my password is incorrect.

To change the password on the phone, go to settings>mail, select your gmail account and change password to the new one.

Audio Skipping While Using iPod + Mail Application on iPhone 3G

Hey there folks. I'm experiencing Audio skipping and popping while using both the iPod and the Mail application at same time. Typing is also very slow in Mail application while iPod is playing music. Have installed the 2.01 update, didn't try to do this before, so not sure if this is normal behaviour. Even if normal, this should not be so. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Ian

I'm getting a lot of problems with the iPhone slowing down whilst I'm typing.
I haven't played a lot but I think it's just not coping with iPod features whilst it's trying to do all the other cool stuff.
I rarely have a problem with it when not using the iPod function.
But it's not supposed to be like this I expect. Seems like some software is not being polite with CPU sharing

Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

Hi all,
As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
Thanks in advance.

I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
You should use whatever is more convenient.
Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

Cannot setup work email using SSL on non standard port

All,
I've been trying now for a few hours to setup a corporate email account. I've tried via the curve and via the bb internet service but in both cases since the service cannot detect the settings since a non standard port is in use I cannot use the the service and am considering returning the device to go with another easier to use device. I love the hardware design but if I cannot setup my corporate email this is no good to me. I'd appreciate any tips anyone has.
Thanks,
Frustrated.
