Free online e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail, hotmail) on mail?

can you put a free e-mail client onto the MAIL application? (yahoo, gmail, hotmail) if so, is it a POP or IMAP and what info. do i need to put into the neccessary info. fields?

Hello Ann.
Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client such as the Mail.app.
You can access a paid or Yahoo Mail Plus account ($19.95/yr) as a POP account with Mail and with other email clients.
If your Hotmail account is new, MS followed Yahoo's lead (all MS primarily knows how to do is follow and copy) preventing the access of free Hotmail accounts with an email client such as the Mail.app.
If you've had your Hotmail account for some time, you can access your Hotmail account with Mail by installing a 3rd party plugin that adds the httpmail protocol and account type to choose from when creating the account with Mail which can be downloaded here.

You can access a Gmail account with Mail and with other email clients as a POP account.

    I wouldn't worry.  Assuming you haven't hacked the phone you cannot have installed any viruses or spyware just by clicking a link in an email.  Sounds like the page you accessed could not be read on the phone anyway, or it was just a dead link.

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Importing yahoo, gmail & hotmail address book  using JSP

    Hi,
    i want to import the yahoo , gmail & hotmail contacts to my local MS access database. please give me the algorithm for importing contacts & if any one having the sample codes send it to me.. if any greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Chinna

    are you having issues with the initial login, or is hotmail successfully taking your information, but failing to remember it when you access more of the site for address book information gathering?
    If the first part is happening, you're probably not setting up your connection within a SSL environment correctly (I'm only guessing that's what hotmail uses, as I'm not a hotmail user). There's plenty of documentation on apache's jakarta site on how to do this/troubleshoot it.
    If you're connecting, and it's not holding the information, then the cookie storing is not set up right. In that case, you may want to post a new topic more specifically relating to cookies (probably want to do it in the networking section of these forums, as it's far more pertinent there).
    I wish I could help you more, but I am far more familiar with instantiating web connections via the UrlConnection class, and not with the Jakarta Commons libraries. :(

  • Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail emails not being sent to iPhone

    I can't understand why emails sent by recipients with Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail (etc) accounts are not being received by my iPhone. Everything else comes seems to come through... Just to confirm, these are not accounts that I've created but rather email servers for family, friends, and clients that need to copy to my iPhone.
    Any suggestions where I can adjust settings to allow these emails to come through? Muchly appreciated.

    Who is your email provider? Is it one of the free services or a work account?
    Do the emails show up in your inbox when you check from a computer?
    Do you have any filtering rules set up on your email account that would automatically direct the emails to a folder other than your inbox?

  • HT1277 When I delete email from my actual hotmail, yahoo and gmail accounts online, it does not delete from my MacBook Pro Mail accounts that I created for hotmail, yahoo, gmail. I thought sync'ing these accounts would do this. Please help :-)

    MacBook Pro 13.3/2.3/2X2GB/320/SD-USA with Mac OS X v10.5
    I've set up my Mac - Mail with my yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts and can successfully send and receive mail. However, when I go online to my actual yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts to delete unwanted emails or to move those emails into subfolders, my Mac - Mail is not updated. How do I do this?
    Also, if you can help show me how to view my hotmail folders in Mac - Mail, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!!
    Tessy

    Is it POP or IMAP? - see Mail/Preferences/Accounts - highlight an account and see what the Type is.
    Try Mail/'menu bar'/Mailbox/'Take All Accounts Online'

    The problem is that spammers and the like Keep Moving from an e-mail address to the next and are impossible to track down. If you were in Adobe's shoes would you do business with somebody incapable of scaring up a commercial/legitimate e-mail account?

    hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

    it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
    same for SMTP

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts, one under hotmail and one under gmail. I would like to consolidate them.

    Hi,
    I have had an iTunes account using my hotmail email address for a long time. I recently bought an iPhone and began using it and unintentionally created a new iCloud account based on my gmail address (I thought I was logging into my existing account but accidentally created a new one).
    All my iTunes purchases are on my old account. This account is also associated with my preferred icloud email address handle. But in the future I'd like to use my gmail address with this account.
    Can I consolidate my two accounts?
    Can I delete the new account associated with the gmail from my iPhone? If so will I still be able to use my gmail address with the old account?
    Thanks for any help
    Andrew

    If your contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are synced from your Google account they will not be in your iCloud account so you don't need to worry about migrating any data.  You can go to icloud.com and sign in with your Gmail ID and check the data there.  If it's empty (other than Mail), you don't need to migrate any data.
    The first thing to do is go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and provide your password.
    Then you need to create another non-Apple email account, such as another free Gmail account.  This is necessary because in order to associate your Gmail address with your Hotmail account, you need to first unlink it from the new Gmail account by substituting the new email account in it's place.  When you have the new account, follow the steps under “How to edit or change  your Apple ID and  primary email address” in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/he68, to change the primary email address and name of your Gmail ID to the new email address.
    Once you've done that, go through the same steps with your Hotmail ID, substituting the Hotmail primary email address and ID name with the Gmail address you just unlinked from the other ID.  Save and verify the change.  Your old Hotmail ID should now be the way you want it, using your Gmail address.
    Now save any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, scroll down and tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then turn Find My iPhone back on.  Then sign back in with your Gmail address to reconnect to your original iCloud account.

  • Gmail,hotmail and yahoo

    I have convinced my company to buy the first Mac after a long struggle:) And finally started to use it on our network which consists of windows servers, solaris and unixes. However, since I am the only one using a Mac and no IT assistant to support me. I have to figure out and solve the problems I am facing myself:( I would really appreciate any help to come over those problem.
    1- Mail application was far from being usefull for corporate use. So I had to switch to MS Entrouge. Even with small problems(gives a certificate error when i open it) its useable. Problem is, I cant reach the corporate address book where i can see the users which i was able to do on MS Outlook.
    2- I can't print via the network printer. There is a printer located on network, I can see it, install it(I have manually set the correct printer). However when i try to print, it gives me an error.
    3- I was able to access gmail, hotmail,yahoo in first days. But I dont knwo what happened. I can't access to gmail,yahoo, hotmail neither from safari nor from firefox. I have resetted both, cleaned cache, cleaned history, deleted keychains. What ever i do, i can't open those pages. On windows partition i can reach them without a problem
    4- There a shared folders on our network for my department. I used to keep shortcuts of those network folders on my desktop to easly reach. However, I have to find them each time i start my computer. How could i create shortcuts for them on my desktop?
    5- Whats the thing with desktop? Sometimes the files i save on desktop doesnt appear until i restart. I can see them from 'finder' but i can't see them on my desktop? I suppose thats a bug from OSX but i can't understand how come thats not fixed until yet. Also saving images from safari is a pain, since i can only save them to my desktop, as its the only option, is there a way to do save as?
    6-I use an iMac "24 with 1GB of Ram. But funny, it feels slower than the intel mac mini 1,64 i use at home. Could it be the computer on network causing it to work slower.
    7- Safari cant deal with FTP's at all. So I had to install 'firefox' and a pluggin to deal with FTP. But honestly, miss internet explorer on that case. It was so much better than both.
    8-My archive files from MS Office(pst) cant be imported neither on 'mail' nor on entrouge:( They are about 2GB, and so far from what i read, it cant be done easy. and it cant be done from a Mac
    I am sorry, if I sound a bit complaining, but because of these problems, I really had hard time to keep projects on time. I love using my Mac at home, but corporate use of a mac seems like a whole different experience. My emigrations hasnt passed so easy already....
    And official distributor in my county fail to provide enough support on any of these problems.
    I would really appreciate if you would help me out...
    Thanks already,

    Backup the device in iTunes.
    Restore as new.
    Setup one account on the device and test.  If it works, set up the other accounts one at a time and test.  If this works, there is some screwy setting in your backup that is the culprit.
    If this does not work, restore from the backup created in the first step to get all your data back/settings back.

  • How do I disengage Yahoo!, Gmail & Hotmail's contact sync?

    I understand that Address Book wants to be the prime contact source one I've sync'd it with my Yahoo mail. No problem.
    1st Problem
    Now that I've sync's Address Book to Yahoo, even though I've gone through and changed the templet in Address Book preferences,
    a.) Address Book is still NOT picking up all the birthdays and anniversaries.
    b.) Address Book is still NOT picking up any of the url's from Yahoo.
              ♦ How do I get Address Book to incorporate the Birthdays, anniversaries, an URL's without having to manually enter them?
    2nd Problem
    a.) Other than the first problem (Address Book NOT picking up Birthdays, anniversaries, an URL's from Yahooo!), things were OK. I could use my me.com email with up to date addresses from Yahoo! ••• Woo Hoo!
    b.) Then I sync'd Address Book to Gmail. Whoa. The merging software (Apple's &/or Yahoo's) played havoc on 1st-middle-last names switching them around and sometimes adding up to 4 sets of 1st-middle-last names to the Yahoo! contacts. The software did the same for "title" and "employer" fields, and it especially frequently added 3 to 4 sets of "notes" fields. Trying to get rid of the redundant sets  is laborious and time intensive, especialy with 450+ contacts.
    c.) And I can't really figure out which sync software is jumbling/multiplying those fields. Yahoo!, Gmail, or Address Book? Man is it confusing and frustrating. So the questions are:
              ♦ How do I now (or in the future), keep (Apple's &/or Yahoo's) merging sofware from playing havoc, and creating redundant sets of "1st-middle-last name", "title," "employer" and "notes" fields?
              ♦ How do I slave Gmail contacts to Address Book so that I dont come back to my MacBook after a few minutes rest, and find that Address Book contact info that was already OK from the Yahoo! sync, has now been changed and several fields (in both the Apple Address Book & Yahoo!) have been deleted or reverted back to older entries from the Gmail contacts? Aaaaahhhhhhh !
    3rd Problem
    a.) As if stupidity was a personal unlimited resource, I thought wouldn't it be great if I sync'd Yahoo contacts with my Hotmail contacts. Then when I have to use Hotmail, I wouldn't have to flip back-and-forth from Hotmail to Yahoo! for addresses. For the Hotmail contacts it seemed a good (but not necessarily great) idea.  I could use my Hotmail with up to date addresses from Yahoo! ••• Once again, Woo Hoo! Same problem as 2nd problem above, but now with Microsoft steping in to stir the sewage. Again merging sofware was playing havoc, and creating redundant sets of "1st-middle-last name", "title," "employer" and "notes" fields. Sorry for monatany but the questions are:
              ♦ Same as for 2nd problem above, but with Hotmail thrown into the mix, especially: how do I slave Hotmail contacts to Address Book?
              ♦ If there's no better answer than to turn off contact synching from Yahoo!, Gmail & Hotmail's (leaving Address book's software running) controls, How do I turn off or toggle Yahoo!, Gmail & Hotmail's synching functions? I've been unable to get back to the toggle.
              ♦ The fact that I signed up for Gmail + and Microsoft's equivalent accounts, probably confounds the issue, but can anyone offer some advice on unsyncing from Yahoo!, Gmail & Hotmail's end?
    If there is even one of these 6 questions that I can get some direction on, I would be extremely grateful. Hellllllpppppp !!!

    there is currently no support for syncing your google contacts or google calendar, unless you port them though iCal or Address Book which you can now do in Leopards latest update. You could try that, you should find the option for the address book in its preferences and the calendar under accounts.

  • Problem in workflow sending mails to external domains like yahoo,gmail etc.

    hi
    i have one probs in my workflow that when i am sending mail to an external id it is not going to gmail,yahoo or hotmail etc.
    it is being send to a particular domain say XYZ
    but outside it ,no mail is send
    and error is coming that recepient is unknown
    we have firewalls being placed on smtp
    and each and every setting in SCOT has been checked thorughly
    but still mail except to one domain is not going outside
    i have came across the info that since SAP doesn have any user id authentication but SMTP does has ,so when mail is being send outside the mail sending is failed,one option could be to disable the authentication at SMTP but thats doesn come inside the policy of client
    so i think there must be a way out in SAP to deal with this
    please suggest how can i send the mails externally,i ahve checked each and every thing inside my SMTP configuration ,adress is defined as * here  but still mail is being send to internal domain of the client in which i am working ,but not at all to the external domains like gmail,yahoo etc.
    any help will be highly appreciated
    best regards
    ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    I think you will need to check with your exchange guys because probably the exchange server will not relay the messages form the SAP server to external e-mail domains.

  • Using multiple MAIL accounts with GMail. When I compose a message from one account it shows "FROM" as one of my other accounts. How can I resolve this?  Thanks!

    MAIL Preferences / Composing / Addressing / Send new messages from account of selected mailbox = SHOWING as the option to use.
    This is only happening in one of my four email accounts...
    Thanks for your help!

    As Ernie said, you need to create an SMTP server for each gmail account with the correct username and password. Be sure the correct server for each account is listed in the SMTP box and check the box to use only that server for that account.
    Gmail's default behavior when sending from one account through another account's outgoing server is to change the address to the server which is used. Same goes if I send a message from my ATT/Yahoo account and use gmail's server to send through. It will change the ATT address to the gmail address.
    There is an option in gmail's settings under the Account's tab under Send Mail As. You can add different gmail or other accounts such as Yahoo to this and choose how the gmail server handles it. You can set it to send as the sending account and not change the address. I've used this many times for my ATT account for sending through gmail when ATT accounts were having problems.
    You can add the different accounts to each gmail account you have.
