Creating an email account?

Hi,
I just bought a new macbook today, and have just put it on, done everything, it's all great! BUT... when you click on mail you have to type in things to configure it... how do you do that? I have a hotmail account, does it work with a hotmail account? As i have tried but it says it cannot find that server or something...
I clicked on the '?' and it says to create a new account click on file- add account or so, but i tried doing that but it doesn't say anything under file like that...
So how do i configure my mail to work? If possible i need it to work with my hotmail account... what do i need to type in? Thank you so much for your help
Jesse

  • How do i create an email account

    How do I create an email account on my new macbook pro?

    Do you have an email ISP or an online email account such as GMail? Before you can create a Mail account on the computer you need to have the information provided by your email ISP to enter into the email application: your email address, .e.g., [email protected]; your email provider's SMTP server address, .e.g., smtp.server.com; the POP or IMAP mail server address, e.g., mail.server.com. You will also need your username and password for accessing your mail account.
    In many cases whoever provides your email service will have a help page showing you what to do to configure Mail on the Mac.

  • I am trying to create another email account with talk talk. and I keep getting a failed message saying 'mail could not log into the mail server talk talk. Yet I already have another email account with talk talk. Not sure what I am doing wrong

    I am trying to create another email account with Talktalk. I already have one account.
    I try to input the new email address and password and get a failed message
    'Mail could not lot into the mail server talktalk.net.
    I have tried several times and keep getting the same message.
    Any ideas

    Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.
    For help on how to set up your e-mail on some of the most common software applications and devices, see How do I set up my TalkTalk email?
    If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.

  • I can not create an email account for my client

    I have created an email account ([email protected]) and it is sending snd recieving messages. However when I try to create an address ([email protected]) me client could not log in to the webmail. I deleted the account and re-created the address with my email as the recovery. My thinking was I would set up the email and confirm everything is working and then show the client how to reset the password. Now it I can not get the BC admin panle to send an invite email yo me. Please advise. Client is passed mad on this. I have to resolve this issue.

    When I try to set up the [email protected] email account in the BC admin panle it repeatedly continues to change the password recovery email to [email protected] no matter how I set it up. This doesn't make any sense.  We can get into that account to even set a user password.

  • At the very end of creating an email account the program asks for a software security device password, I have no idea what this is or where to find it.

    At the very end of creating an email account the program asks for a software security device password, I have no idea what this is or where to find it. To my knowledge I don't have a "software security device". I am using Windows 7 on an IMac.

    What is the exact prompt or error message you get?

  • Can't create new email account.

    I can't create new emails account because when I go to Setting and click in Mail,Contacts ,calender, it goes back to home, intead of open the options. Any advice? Thanks
    Julio

    Double tab the home button and when the application button shows up hold the settings icon until you see a red dot in the corner and hit that.
    If that dosent work then try restarting the device. Hold the lock button (top right of iPad) until slide to power off appears then hit the same button to get it back on.
    To actually make an email account you have to go to the providers web page, you can't create one in settings

  • Create Group Email Account in OIM

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create Group Email Account in AD from OIM. I am able to create Group Accounts in AD using the OOB Resource Object "AD Group". Though I am not sure how to mail enable the group Account from OIM. Please give me ur valuable suggestions.
    Regards,
    Srijan.

    What you basically need to do is to set the mailnickname attribute on the group object in AD.
    I don't think that you can get the 9.1 AD connector to do this but it is not that hard to create a custom connector to do this.
    If you don't have experience of JNDI I could change some code I built a while ago to do this. Contact me through LinkedIn if you are interested.
    Best regards

  • I can't create an email account in Outlook 2013 for my exchange server

    Have tried many things on this issue.
    I have a new tablet PC running Windows 8. I am able to connect to my Exchange Server account using Windows 8 Mail, no problem but when I have tried to set up an account for Outlook 2013 to connect to the same Exchange Server using exactly the same login
    information I cannot get it to connect. I simply get the message that the Exchange Server is unavailable.
    I've been able to connect a variety of other devices to the same Exchange Server account without any problem - iPhones, Windows Phone, iPads, etc, etc all without problem. It's just this device and Outlook 2013 seems to be the issue. From checking various
    forums seems this is not an isolated issue but I've not been able to find a useful solution so far. Have deleted the user profiles and .ost files, switched off caching etc, all to no avail.
    One key difference between the account information required by Windows Mail and Outlook is that in the Windows Mail system I am prompted to enter my domain information. I know this is critical from the information provided to me by our network administration
    team but there is nowhere in the Outlook account setup process where I can enter my domain info.
    Closest I've been able to get to success is to use the manual account creation process and select the Exchange ActiveSync option - this gets me to the point where I'm prompted for my username and password info but it fails at this step because I am connected
    to a local domain (the domain account for the PC) and my user name and password are not accepted. There is nowhere in this login process that I can find where I can enter the correct domain info.
    Any ideas on a solution would be very much appreciated - I use Outlook extensively in my work and whilst the Windows 8 Mail system is good, it doesn't have the level of functionality I need.
    Many thanks
    Wayne.

    Have managed to solve this with your help Martina regarding using the domain\username combination.
    Here's the solution in detail in case anyone else is having similar problems.
    From control panels - select the User Accounts and Family Safety item, then the Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2013) item and then the Email Accounts option.
    Select the Email tab and click 'New... button to create a new email account
    Choose the standard Email account option in the following form. (Not the 'Manual' option'
    Enter your Exchange account details - no alterations necessary here. just your standard details.
    As the account verification proceeds you are prompted to again enter your username and password details. In this form, instead of using the top option with your username already populated, click the lower 'Other user' option and enter your domain\username
    details. This changes the domain. Enter your password as usual.
    I was prompted to do this twice - same each time. Enter domain\username in the username field and usual password
    Account is then created.
    Open Outlook to complete the process and synchronise data with Exchange.
    Hope this is helpful to others - again, many thanks for your assistance Martina.

  • Can't create BT email account

    Hello
    I switched to BT (unlimited Infinity1) two days ago, and although the broadband works fine, I've been unable to set up a BT email account.
    In the My Extras section of My BT the BTMail panel is marked "Inclusive" with a "Get Started" link at the bottom. However, when I click on this link I get the message: "Regret for the inconvenience cause (sic), we are currently unable to find mailbox information corresponding to the account".
    I use a hotmail address for my BT ID, and don't have a BT Yahoo! address. Do I need one of these to create a BT email account?
    Help appreciated!

    Apparently, it was due to the fact that my order hasn't been cleared yet - despite the fact that my broadband has been up and running for two days.
    That is what I guessed, as its been mentioned before. All related tasks have to be completed before an order can be closed.

  • Can't create second email account

    I'm just use bb..and I use torch 9800..I have two email account that I create before..but I can't set up my two email account..I just can set up one only of my email account..so,how can I set up my second email account??...>Help wanted<

    OK, let me see if I understand:
    You have one email account successfully integrated.
    You want now to integrate a Yahoo email account, but when you provide the credentials to the on-device email configuration wizard, it replies with "password and email is incorrect".
    Is that accurate? If so, I suspect that the error message is not exactly that...but nevertheless it sounds like the credentials you are providing for this Yahoo account are not valid. Any chance there are special characters and/or numbers in the email address or the password? If so, then this may apply...for instance, if your password is
    ab123
    and you enter
    a > b > ALT > 1 > 2 > 3
    the actual result will be
    ab1er
    You must enter
    a > b > ALT > 1 > ALT > 2 > ALT > 3
    in order to wind up with ab123. So, in this example, while on the BB keyboard you think you are typing ab123, you are actually typing ab1er.
    On your BB, when you type your password, you should get just a moment where each character is shown in the clear before it changes to an *. Watch closely the next time and you may see a surprising result.
    Otherwise, do indeed try (via your BB Browser) the link provided above by Wolf359. Additionally, you can, from your PC/browser, try your carriers BIS website...you will need to ask them for that URL. Further, if you ring up your carrier, they may be able to integrate this to your BB for you.
    Good luck!

  • Problems while creating an email account

    Hej,
    end of July I bought a BB Curve 9320. Till today I was not able to create a mail account. A smartphone without email access. The problem is the missing possibility to create a internet mail account. I' m only able to put in information for a company account, which I don't have. During the past weeks I spent hours and hours reading manuels/blogs and watching youtube videos. I did also ask my telephone provider whether they put in any limits for the internet mail accounts. Nothing like that.
    I guess the problem might be caused by our bb playbook. It's running pretty well. On the playbook is running a windows live account for mail, contacts and dates. When I started the 9320 I did first use the same bb id we use on the playbook.
    Please help me, I'm totally frustrated. What can I do?
    Kind regards from Hamburg

    From the device go to blackberry.com/integrate
    and see if you can setup your email from there.  The Playbook isn't causing the issue.  Keep us posted.

  • E71x - Created an Email Account - Can't delete

    Before anyone here cuts and pastes the usual response:
    "Messaging> Options> Settings> E-mail>  highlight the account you want to delete, then Options> Delete"
    Don't bother, this does not work for me and does not apply to my problem. When I click "Messaging> Options> " I get the following menu choices:
    Open
    Change Menu View
    Move
    Move to folder
    Download applications
    Check memory
    Help (<-- this is the biggest joke I've ever seen)
    Exit
    Notice anything missing here? Right, THERE IS NO "Settings" menu option.
    Let's say we click on Messaging>Messages>Options, well, NOW there's a "Settings" menu.
    click on that, and guess what? NO EMAIL MENU OPTION!
    Here are my options under Messaging>Messages>Options>Settings :
    Text message
    Multimedia message
    Mail for Exchange
    Service Message
    Other
    (none of these are helpful, btw)
    SO without further adieu, here's what happened to me.
    I created an account as follows: Messaging>Messages>Set-Up Email> enter account/server info
    this creates some **bleep** step-child email routine that is not really Xpress Mail, not really Exchange. If I knew what it was, maybe I could delete it.
    Now, whenever I click on Messaging>Messages I get the following:
    Inbox
    $*%&$* email account that I can't delete
    Mail for Exchange
    (?) <Big **bleep** question mark with a circle around it>
                   <Random blank line, sometimes 3 or 4 blank lines, depends on the mood of                                 phone>
    Instant Messaging
    My folders
    ... etc
    If I click on the $*%&$* email button (just below Inbox, listed above), it opens the account and asks me if I want to connect to my mailbox.
    I click no, because I'm not feeling very charitable.
    I then click Options>Email Settings and get the following choices:
    Connection Settings
    User Settings
    Retrieval Settings
    Automatic Retrieval
    within these menus I can tweak my username, password, incoming mail server, blah blah blah. What I CAN'T do is DELETE THE FREAKING ACCOUNT.
    Really, all I want to do is delete that account. It is causing me so much headache.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm begging. please help.

    I would push a little harder on AT&T because the E71x is specially branded to them. To me, it sounds rediculous if tech support isn't able to figure out there own AT&T Xpressmail, they have to do better than that.
