First generation email account set-up

I've tried numerous times to set up my email account on the iphone and have met with negative results each time. Have been into the ATT store twice and an apple store and an apple rep. over the phone and can't seem to get it done. I have my pc email through att. My e mail reads [email protected] When I go to add account, fill it out and go to the following page and put in the info. that was given to me it always comes back with username or password is incorrect, but I know for a fact that they are not. I was told that it is a POP acct. with incoming host "pop.att.yahoo.com" and outgoing "smtp.att.yahoo.com". Is this correct. My internet carrier is ATT dsl yahoo. Help!?

One thing that might help out.
The servers that you mentioned usually work with att.net accounts.
However, if you are getting an incorrect username or password response, then the account request is getting to the server.
You might want to contact att's internet support to confirm the correct incoming and outgoing server for your email account.
Hope this helps.

  • Problems with POP email accounts set up on iPad air why can't I send emails?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  When I go to the folder icon at the top of the page and click on Sent Items they disappear to somewhere.  How do you look at your sent items?

    I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  I have sent messages but when I go to the folder icon at the top right of the page and tap on SENT emails it makes the inbox email on the screen disappear.  How do you check your sent emails?  Thanks for your help.

    You can send over WiFi, but it sounds as if you need to setup your Gmail account, or did you do this already?

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • TS3276 I have two email accounts set up on Mail.  One shows the unread messages and the other one doesn't... how can I get it to show both account's unread messages?

    I have two email accounts set up on my Mail application.  Both pull in and send just fine but ever since I upgrade the exchange sever and re-setup the account It won't show the unread (number) to the right of the inbox?  The other one shows up just fine.  Any clues would be great!  Thank you.

  • Email account set up problem

    Hello,
    Just setting up my new imac & I've been trying to set up email accounts in Mac Mail for 3 other user accounts. My broadband provider in the UK (BT) provided us with 4 '@btinternet.com' Email accounts. After I installed broadband I was taken through an automatic process in Mac Mail which allowed me to easily to set up my Email account (it's working fine). However, I'm having trouble with the other accounts. When I open Mac Mail in one of the other user accounts I'm taken through the 'New Account' process. First it asked me for a/c type (pop, imap etc) & I'm guessing it's pop. Then it asked me for the 'Incoming mail server'. I'm not really sure what this is but I tried '@btinternet.com' 'btinternet.com' & even the full email address. It couldn't connect to any of them.
    Can someone please advise how I set these accounts up as I haven't got a clue & I'm pretty computer illiterate as this is our first home computer.

    Dave,
    In the user account that works correctly, open, Mail > Preferences > Accounts tab. The account type is under the account name. Write down what's in the box next to Incoming Mail Server: . Note the format in the box next to User Name: - and whether it is just the user name, a full email address, or some other format. Click the Server Settings button. Write down what's in the box next to Outgoing Mail Server: . Note down the port number and, if any authentication is used, what type it is.
    Now open one of the other user accounts and use your notes to configure that person's mail.

  • Cannot get my Office365 email account set up

    I have an email account on Microsoft Office 365 (portal.microsoft.com), and I use Vodafone.  I have managed to associate this email address with my Blackberry ID.   When I try to add the same email address to my device I enter the email password, and after "Processing, please wait ..." appears for about one minute I get the message "Your device had a problem connecting to the server".  Any advice?

    Thanks for trying to help.  I don't know whether I could have solved this on my own.  I got in touch with our software support company who talked me through the set-up.  First I had to download an app called "Enterprise Activation" and run that, then enter details of my email account including a password I wouldn't have known. It seems to be working now.

  • New PC, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod nano's (one first generation) same account

    I have a new PC with windows 7, my old PC had XP home both with 10.4.1. I have two iPhone 4's (mine and my wifes), I have two iPod nano's (one is a first generation). I have always used them with the same iTunes account I have never even had more than one account.
    With that being said my problem is this: I installed iTunes on my new PC and tried to sync my iphone to it. It prompted me to back up my library and I did. Asked to authorize this computer and I said yes, it then proceeded to load my songs. After it was done which took for ever it promted me to erase and sync so I did. I did the same to my wifes iphone and the second generation iPod. That is when I notice it didn't copy all of the library, still short about 100 songs. These are songs purchased from iTunes not ripped from cd's.
    When I plugged in my first generation iPod nano, I tried to upload the library from it to my iTunes on my new windows 7 PC. It prompted me to autorize this computer for this account. When I tried to authorize it a window said that 5 computers were already authorized for this account and I would have to deauthorize one. In iTunes I proceeded to check my account under the store tab. It said I had only 3 computers authorized of the posible 5. I tried this multiple times shut down and restarted my computer, still the same information, nothing.
    I found a couple of items on this site that said I could "deauthorize all computers" from this account, but to becarefull you can only do this once a year. I tried that and went back authorized my new PC again, plugged in my ipod nano still prompted the same that 5 computers were already authorized but when I went to the store tab it said only 1 was authorized.
    I then took the nano first gen and went back to my old PC with xp home. I had already removed iTunes from it, but pluged in my nano. It loaded right on it and installed all my music. I took my other nano plugged it in and it asked if I wanted to authorize this computer I ck'ed yes and then prompted to load purchased items ck'ed yes and it loaded right up. ITunes then wanted to erase and sync so I did that. After that was complete I took my first gen nano to the PC with windows 7. plugged it in and the window prompted to load or erase and sync. I ck'ed load purchased music. Window popped up with the authorizing this computer again. I ck'ed yes to Authorize it. Again stated "5 computers already authorized"
    Again I went to the store tab and checked there. there are only 2 computers authorized.
    What is up? Thanks for any help.   

    My brother in law is also a Masshole.
    I'm not sure of the exact steps, it's been a little while since I've worked in that part of windows 2000, but here goes.
    1. Go into the control panel from the start menu or My Computer
    2. In the control panel there should be an option for computer management. Open that up and you should see a tree of options on the left side.
    3. Right click on Users (or something like that) and then select add user. Then you assign the user name and password (blank is allowed under the defaults)
    4. Once the account is set up you want to be sure that it is part of the Administrators group so that he'll still be able to install programs and such. If you highlight Groups you should be able to right click on Administrators and add the new account. You can also do this from the account setup screen as well, but I don't remember the specifics.
    Like I said, that may not be exact since it's been a while, but that should at the very least get you in the ballpark.

  • Email Accounts - Set Up Icon

    Our server went down at the office, I had an email from Blackberry asking me to validate my password by clicking on Setup icon and click Email Accounts - I have tried to do this and just keep getting to Internet Mail Account when I click this it just says updates available - help please!

    OK, I am beginning to understand now. Your email setup icon is ASKING you to update itself first... there was a BIS account email set up upgrade pushed, and your device will not allow you to proceed with the editing your email accounts until you first upgrade the email setup application itself. Gotcha. So, when you click "update later" it closes.
    So, do this, backup your device FIRST, using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    Then, proceed with the email setup upgrade.
    Then, you will be able to open the email setup.

  • How do i get my icloud email account set up in mail on our new mac.

    How do i set up my iCloud account on our new Mac  My family have set up their Sky, gMail, & hot mails accounts really easily yet mine just woun't work keep hetting a message unable to conect to outgoing mail server.
    why are 3rd party accounts so easy to set up and my apple one keeps failing  Help...

    Thanks - its 1 month old (max), the OSX version is 10.8.4 we already have iCloud set up on my iPhone 4S & this iMac.
    I try to tick mail in the cloud menu but get an error message telling me "iCloud mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open mail and add iCloud account from Mail preferences"
    when I do that i get the message " the icloud IMAP server p15-imap.mail.me.com is not responding. Try checking the network conection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server may be temorarily unavailable.  If you continue you may not be able to recieve messgaes.
    we thought the incoming server name looked odd (p15- imap.mail.me.com) but its greyed out and can't be edited even though other 3rd party accounts can.
    really don't want to have to ditch the iCloud email account as i use it the most & loads of friends contact me on it
    But been trying with my Dad all afternoon to fix it and are both stumped.
    Any help would be really appreciated

  • Playbook email account set up problem

    I just got a PB 16GB yesterday and got it set up fine with OS2, connected with BB Bridge - all was well. I set up an email account this morning then decided I wanted a different one so deleted the account. But now when I tap on Add an Account and select email, the only option the PB is giving me is to sign into an existing account - which of course no longer exists, so gives me an error message. I don't really want to factory reset unless absolutely necessary. Can anyone please help? Thanks in anticipation.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, it means existing on the web, not existing on Playbook.  just type in the address and password and follow the instructions as before.
    Bear in mind hotmail / livemail accounts have a temporary problem with servers.
    If you have more than one email account I recommend only one syncs email, calendar and contacts and all wthe others sync email only. Use push where available.

    BlackBerry Internet Service allows for up to 10 personal email accounts to be set up.
    You might contact your carrier's BlackBerry support for assistance with this so they can see if somehow the PIN is having an issue.
