Is it safe to disable in built email app? When I click disable it says that other apps may misbehave.
Kindly advice.

it should be just fine, that's a general warning

Cannot get Yahoo email with the built-in email app from within my company's network

Hello,
From within my company's network, I can get Yahoo email if I use the Yahoo email app but not if I use the iPhone built-in email app (iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both running iOS 7.1.2). Any idea what may be going on?
Could it be that the two apps use different ports to get email (and one port happens to be blocked by the company's firewall/proxy)? If yes, anyone knows what these ports may be?
Thank you in advance

That's entirely possible. Talk to your IT department about it. Attempting to bypass their security and potentially violating their security policy may not be good for your career.

Can't open the built in email app

Hi there,
This morning I got an email message into my gmail account which is linked to my iPhone. After reading I wanted to write a reply to the sender. I selected the reply tab but the app quitted and ever since I can't open it.
Now whenever I am hitting the MAIL icon, I can only see an empty white screen for a while and after a few seconds the home screen again. I suppose the broblem might be that there were more than 300 recipients in the header and I selected the "reply to all" function (how idiot I was:)...now it seems to be stuck.
The soutions I have tried and didn't work:
press the home button twice and close the app
login to my gmail account in an other computer and delete the email (I couldn't even found the draft)
resetting the network connections
resetting the device (press and hold the power and home button at the same time)
send an email to myself and when it appears in the lock screen, swipe on it to be able to handle it directly - the empty white screen again
Any tips are highly appreciated...:)
Thanks in advance!

It says requirements are an iOS device with iBooks 1.3.1 or later and iOS 4.3.3 or later. I have a 4s with the latest software update (7.0.4) and plenty of capacity. Thanks for your help though! Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

HT201320 I let my students use my IPAD for different Apps. I was wondering if there was any way to lock my email app or sign into it before it opens. Suggestions?

There is no way to lock the built-in email app. You can remove the password from the Mail, Calendars, Contacts settings, but you'd have to readd and remove that every time, probably not very practical. There are third-party apps that have a login feature within the app, so one of those might work for you. Or you can just use a web interface to your email, if your provider offers that, though many web interfaces don't work very well with mobile web browsers.
Alternatively, if your students just use a single app at any given time, you can lock the iPad to that app via Guided Access:

Emailing takes forever from the built-in notes app

On Iphone 3G I am trying to email a note from the built-in Notes app and I have been getting the "sending 1 of 1" message now for over 40 mins. I have a good wifi connection. I don't have any apps restricted. I powered the phone off and on. Any ideas?

Try testing other things that require Internet on your phone to see if they work. If you think it is because of the Notes app, try copying and pasting the text in your note. If it is still not working, try signing in and out of your Gmail account. Still not working, ask Apple directly.

My email app has been deleted how do i get it back

My email app that came on the phone has been deleted and I can't get it back. And I can't find it in the play store.
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve it?
No it is not email for Gmail or hotmail
I had to set up the incomeing and outgoing servers if that's any help and the color was a yellow envelope with the @ sign in the middle of it.
Help I want my roadrunner.com email back.
Thank You

Which phone model do you have?
You didn't disable the application?

Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow. I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day. There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
here are some of the things I'd love to see:
- support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
- an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
- industry compliant tagging
- robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
- robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
- global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
- integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
- integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
- an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out. Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
- integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac. I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.

Is there a way to prohibit use of Apple's built in iPad apps, using Configurator?

We have a number of iPads in our school, and I'm looking for a way to disable use of things like iChat. Is there a way to disable the built in Apple Apps?

I was prepared to say that you can't block or circumvent the default iOS apps, and then I read your response. Assuming you have control of the iOS device before the user so you can make such a configuration change, that sounds like an innovative and viable solution. I'll have to look into that.
Configurator is fairly impressive for a simple tool, though. I read this piece recently which outlines five essential elements of an MDM solution, and it seems like Configurator meets at least some of them. For more about, check out my about.me profile.

Gmail vs Built in Email

I'm having a tough time with both the gmail app and the built in email (I separated texts and emails into two different icons). The built in email with which I logged my gmail into seems to get the messages almost instantly while gmail lags behind by a few minutes. That being said, I like the layout and features of the gmail app better than the built in email. My conflict is that there is an indicator of having a new message that pops up because of the built in email so whenever i get a new email and I look at it in the gmail app, I then have to go into the messages icon and "read" it there too to make the new email indicator go away from my home screen. Should I just log the email out of the built-in yet faster email program or put up with having to view every email twice? Is there anyway to stop that indicator from showing on the home screen?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

basically, you want the flag "mark as read" replicated from GMail to our Blackberry mail, and in the other direction too.
It is possible, but you have to configure your BIS account to point to GMail's IMAP server.

Easy way to enable/disable built-in iSight?

Hello everyone!
I am trying to figure out how to enable/disable built-in iSight camera on my MacBook Pro. I do quite a bit of video conferences lately so I went out and bought a decent camera that produces a nice picture and has zoom in/out controls etc. It all nice and well but now I have a little problem - most web-based conferencing software simply uses the "default" camera, which is in my case the built-in iSight. I want to disable the iSight and make my external camera "default" one instead but I just can't figure out how to do it... Any ideas?
Cheers
Alex

Scripts like this can easily disable and enable built-in iSight:
http://techslaves.org/index.php?page=62
However, such scripts simultaneously disables ALL USB webcams when active.
Instead of disabling USB cams, select your other camera in the Flash Player settings. If you need help with settings, see Adobe Help: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If necessary, you can quit your browser, launch Photo Booth or some other video app to keep your iSight busy. Minimize this app if you like, launch the browser and go to your video web site, and then check that Flash can use the camera you want.

N97mini email app does not receive and send emails

I have installed Nokia email app (build 10.2.0.26 (main)) onto my N97mini. I have setup it up to fetch emails from my gmail and yahoo mail accounts. I also added gadgets to my screen so that I can view incoming emails. It worked before. But now, it stops fetching emails. When I go options->tools->connection info, it always shows offline mode.
I use several wifi network between home and school. Other app like opera works fine. I can use opera to access my gmail. When I do options->Send/receive, nothing happen. The icon on the top of the email screen is always a circule with a slash. So it means offline mode. I suppose when I click Send/receive it should go online to check emails. But it does not. Very few times, it goes online and checks email by itself. But I have no idea what triggers that.
The setting is:
what to sync [Inbox] = sync enabled
when to sync [days] = 7 days; [hours] = on all day; [disable sync when] = battery at 15%; [Send and receive] = soonest;
Please advice what do I miss here?

now my one account works perfectly without any additional changes, but my other one works not.
it shows that my password or username is wrong then i deleted it, created it new. after typing password and username 10 times right it worked. i got my emails and one minute later the same problem again...
i really do not understand the problem... i use the same preferences for the other account and it works, and everything worked untill yesterday. seems like it works if the iphone just wants to.
i am feeling like using windows
my provider is gmx. pop account information with my adress and name, server for incomming emails: hostname is pop.gmx.net username and password are correct.
thank you.

My email app keeps showing connecting. It's jammed

My email app on my iPad2 keeps showing connecting at the bottom left of the screen. It is jammed.
This started to happen after my workplace disabled access to the corporate WIFI for all personal iPads. Is there a link to this?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

[svn:osmf:] 12794: Disable looping in sample app.

Disable looping in sample app.
Modified Paths:
    osmf/trunk/apps/samples/framework/ExamplePlayer/org/osmf/view/MainWindow.as

Strobe was used to verify that the problem was not with my OSMF implementation. Since the results were the same, I am more supsicious of OSMF itself or the underlying AIR framework than the player implementation. Either way, the information I've seen says that progressive download of h.264 video is supported on mobile devices with AIR. It would appear that this is not true in all cases.
The issue has not been observed on not occur on the desktop. It only occurs with StageVideo enabled playback with autoplay on.
In the actual product the videos play one at a time. Once the user has finished with a video, the player clears the references to the media. These are OSMF calls; the media assigned to the player is nulled. If this is not sufficient for garbage collection, then I am at a loss as to how to proceed. My test uses four videos that are roughly 1 MB. If there is a memory use problem, then it would appear something is broken in AIR or OSMF.
I want to be sure I report this correctly. The code involved is more than a snippet, it's a media player designed to be embedded in an app. Do I need to include the complete implementation or will a description be sufficient?
