Creating a new mail account on iphone...

Could anybody help me with how I set my Hotmail E-mail address as the default for iPhone? I don't use G-mail, Yahoo mail, .mac, or AOL and I have no idea how to set it up so my mail comes to my phone through Hotmail.

Hotmail only allows other apps/devices to hook into via POP IF you pay for the premium service. Else, Hotmail is webbased only.

How to create a new Mail account for Google Enterprise Gmail

I have just set up Google Enterprise Business Apps, including Gmail. Works just fine with my domain from iPhone and from Google Web App.
I have set up a new Mac Mail account and can receive email addressed to my my domain and not gmail.com just fine but when I send mail the FROM: field has [email protected] instead of mydomain name.
I've tried getting help from Google but it's a slow, somewhat trying process.
Any solutions?
Thanks, Donald

Ok thanks I see the gear!
I checked and the return address (from:) is already correctly set up.
The Google Enterprise Gmail works just fine with my iPhone and from the Google web app. PC with Outlook fine too. I suspect that there must be something about the MAC Mail account setup.
I just don't know where to look...
If that is your issue then
In Mac Mail>>Preferences>Accounts>>Account Information
You can add "from" options by adding them to email address line, seperate by comma.
This will give you a "drop-down" menu in composing new mail or replying.

Can't create a new mail account

Hi everybody,
My internet provider changed it's name from direcway.com to hughes.net, so that ment that I had to change my email account. I deleted the old direcway.com address, now I'm trying to make a new hughes.net account. I click on mail and the new accounts window opens and I start the process. After inputting the incoming mail server info and password, then click continue my computer checks the connection to POP server mail.hughes.net, then checks the login for my username. And that's as far as it goes, and the login to POP server mail.hughes.net failed. One other thing, I don't have a POP server, it's a POP3 server, and even though I've tried I'm not sure where to input that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Kauf,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Hopefully these other responses will assist you in completing the new account setup. However, let me also point out that you can proceed in the setup, even though connection fails, and sometimes this is necessary to later gain access to use a different Port than the default. But, I am sure Mail will default to Port 110 for POP, and this would only be useful if the server should be approached on a different Port, and you would edit this in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced.
Probably not needed, but just clarifying.

How do I stop Thunderbird from creating additional folders when I add a new mail account?

I've been using Thunderbird for about 8 years now, migrating the configuration from version to version. Currently I have two accounts it picks up email from. I want to add a third account but everytime I do this, it creates a bunch of new folders with the name of the account in my folder tree. This is undesirable, mainly because it looks terrible and it's also dodging the default filtering I have set up globally for received messages.
How do I create a new mail account without it making new folders and just using the local folders like the other accounts already do?
I do not use Thunderbird's internal spam filtering, I use popfile and use message filters to sort the emails by headers Popfile adds to my messages. I do not understand why it won't let me make a new account like the other accounts without making a special folder for the new account. Please help?

Item 1. Global inbox only works with POP mail accounts.
Tools menu > account settings >server Settings > advanced and select use global inbox to turn it on. Note the folder will disappear, so move the mail you want from them before you change the settings.
Item 2. IMAP accounts must have their own folders. The View menu > folder > unified view was designed to overcome that as much as possible,

How do I create a POP mail account on ios 5

When I try to create a new mail account it always turns out to be an IMAP email account which I don't have access to such an account. My account is POP3 and I don't seem to be able to ever specify that on my iPhone 4 using ios 5. Help?

You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the preconfigured options.
Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

Hello everyone,
I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
Thanks,
W

You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US. Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail". Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
Hope this helps

I hate to add a third entry but this one will end the speculation about this problem.
Apple mail is not designed to create a new mail account! WIndows mail, all forms, is designed to create new mail accounts. If you are new to mac, and you try to create a new mail account and the account you try to create already exists because it belongs to some else, the a return code for an error is returned from the mail provider. Apple mail unfortunately trys to handle
the error but does not bother range checking the return code for validity. This results in what I said above and the mail crashes. Nothing that happens should ever cause a crash! There are a number of software errors in Apple mail that need attention. To fix this problem, just go to your email provider and create the account. Then add it in apple mail.
This will work without error.

Hi, I just created two new mail accounts on my macbook but can't send/receive mail.help!

It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts. Without them it is difficult to help you.
Please use Mail's menu item Window/Connection Doctor and post its results.

Import a new mail account from mac to iPhone

Hello folks,
I have a macbook pro and an iPhone 4. The first time I connected my iPhone to the macbook it imported all the mail accounts, with all the settings and so on. Now, I create a new email account on my macbook and I cannot figure out how to import this new mail account on the iPhone. Could you help me please?
Thanks

Oh no So if I want this account on my iPhone I have to create it directly from iPhone
Correct.
You create the account in mail on your Mac & on your phone. Since it's an exchange account, they will both be kept in sync. When you select sync mail accounts in iTunes, it's only the account settings that are synced, no actual messages are synced at all. You normally only do this one to transfer the account settings to your phone.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which resulted in his apps and music being synced to my iPhone and mine to his. . . very annoying. So I created a new iTunes account, but now no devices show up in the sidebar so I can't sync my phone.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa. This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone. However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.

The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.
