Changing mail account info

the good news: the iPhone automatically implemented all my account info from apple mail the first time I activated & synced it. great!
the bad news - I need to use a different outgoing mail server - I can't send mobile mail from the same server I use for my desktop mail ...
so how can I change the account info - to put in a different outgoing mail smtp dealie?? there doesn't seem to be a preference setting the way there is in apple mail...
thanks..
W

am having a dickens of a time with this - when I first got the iPhone a week ago, I could receive all my mail easily but had a problem sending.
so I deleted the account, put it in all over again (as correctly advised on this thread), and now I have the send part working fine but I currently can not receive messages!
I have double & triple checked the settings - can't figure out what's wrong - will probably call Apple Care...
thanks!

User's Mail account info changed

My wife just called me at work with a bizarre Mail situation. Our iMac at home has 2 user accounts, mine and hers, and each has Mail configured for our own individual e-mail accounts, reasonably enough.
My Mail account is a full .Mac account. Her e-mail account is an e-mail only .Mac account, with her own e-mail address, obviously.
This morning the power went off and the computer with it. When she restarted, she logged into her account and got my e-mail. And when she checks the account details it is indeed configured to receive my mail.
For the time being I've asked her to use webmail until I get home to take a look. Could this have something to do with the upcoming .Mac changes? How could a power outage switch Mail accounts?

Now that I've come home I can guess roughly what happened. The power outage must have caused one of the Mail files--preferences or something--to become corrupt, and so the account didn't show up when Mail started.
Now, my .Mac settings are in her system preferences. So Mail, being friendly and accommodating, must have automatically created a .Mac account for her when it found no other accounts configured in Mail and since my account settings were in system preferences, it was able to do that no problem.

Mail Account Info incomplete

I have just upgraded to Yosemite. Mail now has a problem. In the Account Info window, the top line (sender header) of the message list is always incomplete.
The From, Subject and Size fields are blank. Date received is OK. Also all data in the maIn message window is OK.

The email accounts available should be in the window below the sync email accounts selection under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Is the new email account available under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is the new email account selected?

Changing Mail Account from POP3 to IMAP

I have to change hosts for my domain and primary e-mail address, and as long as I need to recreate my account, I’d like to change it from POP3 to IMAP. How would I change the account settings in Mail so that all my previous e-mails aren’t deleted when I change protocols? Thanks.

As I don't know whether what you want to do is possible or not, I would rather create a new account with the new settings and copy the emails from the old one to the new one (I think this will keep email dates correct). Then, after verifying that the new one works OK, I would delete the old one.

Change Mail account on a second I Phone

I have two i Phones, in the second (3GS) I cannot change my Mail accounts - do anyone know why?

Thank you very much! Your explanation was the right answer. I think, I was a little bit foolish.
Kind regards

Mavericks Mail Account Info

At the bottom of the Mailboxes column of the Mail window the little "gear wheel" gives access to "Get Account Info". Before Mavericks the choice of sort order displayed in this window could be set. Now it's no longer possible; it just auto-sorts on the message size - and that's it. Is there any way to get around this restriction? I found it very useful to sort on other columns, "date received", "from" or whatever, to avoid my wife having to download a mass of unnecessary mail onto her little iBook via a slow connection.

In the Classic View, if I control - click on the dot, it gives me an option to sort by.

Mail Account info sync

The email accounts available should be in the window below the sync email accounts selection under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

HT1918 I purchased Iphone in London. Then i shifted to India after 1 yr and now i want to change the account info. But when i tried to change the credit card details in itunes, i get an error message that this card is not valid in UK.

I purchased iphone in London one year back. Then i shifted to India recently. Now when i want to change my credit card detail in itunes, i get an error message that This card is not valid in UK. But i am no more in UK now. In the same page i edited my address but itunes does not change that details showing the above error message.

So you are trying to change the account from India to the Uk right...? Cause it wont accept UK card if you're trying to keep it for India...

Change Mail Account order

I wish to change the order of my 4 email accounts in MAIL. That is, that order in which they are listed on the side bar and in Preferences; Acounts.
How do I do that? thanks!

For the account listing, drag them into the order you want. For the Preferences, I don't think it makes a difference where they are, and there is no way to reorder them.

Changed mail account on gmail and can't get my mail account activated anymore on my bb

Hi,
Close to getting grey hairs now ...
I have a BB Curve 8520 ... and I'm using my gmail account as mail on my bb - today i changed my gmail password though and can't get any more messages into my gmail account any longer now (WTF did i change my password for ???). I tried to add my gmail account as my bb says that an email address does not currently exists for my bb device ... so when i try to add my gmail account and select 'gmail' in my email setup, add my email address and password it says ! Update failed ...
Anyone any solutions to this problem pls ...
Facebook, internet, BBM .. still working ..
thx a lot in advance !

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

Changing Mail Account

I am running a single POP account and have two things I'd like to change about it:
1.I want to change the "Full Name" to include that of my spouse instead of just me, and
2.I (think) I want to eliminate the password as I'm tired of having to type it in every time I want to download mail.
Is there any way to change the existing account in these two regards or must I create a new account? If a new account is the answer, am I going to have to import all my old stuff (mailboxes, preferences, etc.) to the new account?

You can save your password in the keychain. When you have to type it next time, check the box "add to the keychain" and it won't ask again.
If you want to change you password you have to do it with your e-mail provider. This has nothing to do with your e-mail client.
BTW, setting a blank e-mail password is a tremendously bad idea and it probably won't be allowed by your e-mail provider.
