Email with the IPhone

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if its possible for me to use my personal college email with my IPhone. If so how do I set it up?
Please help, Thanks

Go to Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, go to Add Account, go to Other. Enter the information requested on that page and press Save. On the next page, select IMAP or POP. More than likely the college account is a POP account. Here is where you need information from the college. The next part is to add the host names for the incoming and outgoing server. If the outgoing server has authentication, you will have to put in the user name and password in the outgoing mail server section. You mentioned them giving you a port #. That port number will go after the mail server name, i.e. mail.example.com/###, where the port number goes in place of the ###.
Once you click on save, the program will test the account. If there is a problem, it will let you know, if not, it should just save it. From there, you will have to check on other options, such as saving messages on the server, etc.
Hope that helps you out.

If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
Anyone have any ideas

Yes. Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email. Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.

Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address. This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address. This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

After installing OS8 my mail items On my iPad in trash often are mixed up with the body of the email in the wrong email. The iPhone with the same mail in trash is fine, as is the GMail trash on my PC.

I Have IOS 8.1 on my iPad & iPhone And I use gmail. When I review email trash on the iPad, many of the emails in trash have the wrong content. The body of the email appears as the content of another email also in trash. The same emails in trash on the iPhone & in Gmail trash on the PC are all OK. if I file the email back in the inbox it Still has the body of the email with the wrong sender and addressee. Any ideas?

Greetings,
Mail doesn't create .txt files from email messages; it sends exactly what you type. If some of your recipients are claiming they receive .txt files, that would most likely be due to their email client, which no doubt is running Windoze. Only they can solve that problem. If the message is okay in your Sent mailbox, that's exactly what you sent, so the problem is on their end.

Forwarding an email on the iPhone with an attachment fails

I'm not sure when this problem started but it's been going on for at least a week or two, possibly longer. I am operating at the latest firmware version (2.1).
I do not use Mobile Me.
If I send a pdf, gif, jpg attachment in an email from my work account, for example, to my Yahoo account that works. I go to the Yahoo account email on the iPhone and read the email and view the picture.
If I FORWARD the email to another person and choose to include the attachment, the email does not get sent. I get the error, "Cannot Send Mail - An error occured while delivering this message". The forwarded email sits in the Outbox and the iPhone periodically tries to send it but it never works.
I tried deleting the Yahoo account off the iPhone and then re-adding as was stated in one discussion but this did not work.
Is this an iPhone or Yahoo problem?
Thanks, Matt

I have the same problem with my email address. It started about a week ago. It won't forward attachments but works fine with just text. If I use my wife's Yahoo address which is a sub account of mine it works fine. Exactly the same settings in both cases.
Even tried it on a different iphone and I get the same result.
My email does work fine though through Webmail and through Mail on the Mac or Outlook.
I'm betting it must be Yahoo though.
Yahoo have been'improving' their SMTP spam protection and I don't know if it has caused something on my Yahoo account to block anything with an attachment that comes from the iphone.
I tried calling them about it and after about an hour I convinced the 'technical support guy' (term used loosely) to see if there something different between the settings on the two accounts or to see if there was a message stuck in the system somewhere causing a blockage from the iphone. That's when the call dropped off and losing the will to live, gave up on talking to them.
I did put it in e-mail and may get a response if they pass it on to a real Technical advisor.
Will post again if I have any luck!

You could take a screen shot (hold and release both buttons simultaneously) and then email the resulting image to someone.

Is anyone else having a problem with the iPhone 4s Battery Life? My 1 year old Iphone 4, which I gave to my wife, is holding a charge better and she has been using it far more than I've been using my 4s

My wife preordered a white iPhone 4s for our anniversary and even though it is preloaded with the ios 5, i am a little disappointed. The battery doesn't seem to hold a charge well at all. I have had every other iphone except the 3gs and have never had such a poor battery life. I owned the iPhone 4 for a year, and already know all the tricks to hold on to battery life, I have adopted the habit of closing out any apps that weren't being used, my mail push notifications are set for hourly, wifi and bluetooth are turned off when they aren't needed. I also stay away from any car chargers, use only the apple brand supplied cables, and only charge when the phone is dead. I only would sync when the phone was about to die as well.
When I saw how fast I was burning through the battery, I turned off Siri, which is kind of the purpose of the new iPhone, and turned off the backing up to iCloud. I barely used my phone today and the battery kept ticking down. My wife, who has been stuck with an iPhone 3g for years, has been fascinated with my old iPhone 4 and has been browsing and playing games and her battery has been holding a better charge than my new phone. I even tried turning the phone off for an hour when it was at 18% and when I turned it back on, it was at 15%. My iPhone 2, which is only being used as a touch iPod now, still has better standby time than a brand new iPhone 4s.
To be honest, I am usually a heavy phone user. Throughout the day I will make and receive at least 50 calls, I browse and check websites daily and watch videos sometimes during my downtime. But this weekend, I haven't even had the chance to put this phone through the same abuse my other 3 iPhones have had to endure.
I just want to know if anyone else has this problem, or if I should just return this one.

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

HT4972 After upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored" HELP!

I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

3 problems with the iPhone..

I have had my phone for about a year now so I am pretty familiar the functions.... However the three main problems or concerns I have with the phone are the picture message function.... Is there a way to view a pic message without viewmymessage.com? and if there isn't then that should be fixed because once the pic is on the website I cant even save it to my photo albums or anything... The other complaint is the fact that ringtones can't be set to sms messages... And the last complaint is the fact that you can't forward messages or resend messages either.... If you have a solution to anyone of these questions or a comment please post

You can exchange MMS via email. Basically and for all practical purposes, MMS is a very limited form of email exchange which is a cash cow for cellular providers.
Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's Mail client. The MMS will be recieved by you as an email with the photo attached to the message.
This will give you the sender's MMS cell phone email address.
Add this email address to the contact's information in your iPhone's address book. Attach a photo to an email and when addressing the email with a photo attached to the message, it will be recieved by the recipient as an MMS.
For your other requests, use the iPhone feedback link since providing it here is seen by fellow users only.
