Having trouble setting up email accounts in the mail app?

Hi Apple community,
     I am having trouble setting up my email accounts with the osX mail application. I have two accounts, an outlook and my college email through google. When I try to add the outlook account the prompt says that it cannot connect to the server and when I try my college mail i get the following prompt.
"Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Please note that my college account is run by gmail and ends in murraystate.edu
Thanks, Will.

Hey will,
okay for your college email. Heres what you do.
Try adding your email and wait for the message to come up
Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Once it does, you will notice 2 extra boxes One says username and the other password. You will notice that the username will not have @murraystate.edu
Add this and continue and this should now be added as an email account and should be able to receive emails as normal.
For your outlook emails, I would recommend using the following article to set it up. It is fairly straightforward.

    having issue setting up email account on the iphone.  Going into settings mail, contacts, calendars...it goes back to the welcome screen.  How do I delete all email accounts and set up from scratch?

    I was having the exact same issue.  It was driving me crazy.  Just as a fluke, I tried logging in to my wife's account on the verizon.net website to se if I had a bad password or something.  As soon as I logged in on my computer, her account verified & installed on her iphone.  I have no idea why, but it worked.

  • Having trouble setting up email account on wifes iphone

    My wife just got an iphone 4s and I have been unsuccessful in setting up her email account on the phone. I went through the step by step procedures. When I submit it always gives me a wrong user id or password message. I even went into the system and reset the password. Her email is a sub-account of mine. The email worked fine on her Samsung II, but now I can't get it to operate on the iphone.

  • I'm having trouble setting up my Google Apps for Education email address in the mail app

    I have tried several times and different ways to add my .edu email account to the iOs system through the mail app on both my mac and my iphone. It is run through Google apps for education, so it uses gmail as a platform but is addressed as my school's title. On a few occasions it wouldn't accept it to add, on others it connected but wouldn't access the email account once it was added.

    The approaches available may differ depending upon which operating system you have.  I am running OS 10.8.4 and on my computer, the following works:
    Go to System Preferences and select Mail, Contacts, & Calendars.
    From the right, choose Gmail; this should open an dialogue box, where you should enter:
    Your name (as you wish it to appear)
    Email address (should include the @whatever.edu, where whatever is the appropriate university extension--it should be .edu, not gmail.com)
    The password on the account.
    Choose the applications you want to sync with your computer and click Add Account. You will probably get an error about Mail Server Discovery, but click Continue anyway.
    Launch your Mail application and it should have you setup your account. Choose/enter the following:
    Account type: IMAP
    Title Description: (put whatever you want the account titled, it's up to you)
    Incoming Mail Server: type in imap.gmail.com
    User Name: put your full email username, including the @whatever.edu
    Password: put your email password again
    Configure the outgoing mail server with:
    Description: whatever you want it called
    Outgoing Mail server: type in smtp.gmail.com
    Check the option Use Authentication
    Username: type your full username, including the @whatever.edu
    Enter your password and click Continue and then Create.
    That should be it.

  • I'm having trouble setting up email on my new Lucid

    I'm having trouble setting up 2 of my email accounts on my new Lucid phone for some reason. I go through the setup wizard process, but the phone can't connect with either my Hotmail or my Yahoomail accounts, and I get the message "Getting Token failed". What does this mean, and what can I do to correct this? Does the phone have to be in 4G to connect to email accounts?

        Mam129, I rely on email to stay connected with family and friends so I know how important it is to be able view them on my phone. But don’t worry because I’m here to help.
    Are you still unable to set up your email? A fix for the issue has recently been implemented. Please try setting up the email again and keep me posted if you have any issues.

  • Have my print set up but am having trouble setting up my accounts on line. Either my e-mail is wron

    Was able to set up my e-print on printer but am having problems setting up my account on-line.  Keeps on telling me have wrong e-mail or password.  How do I get this reset so I can start over.  Very frustating, have been trying for weeks to get this done.   The reason I bought this was for the e-print now I cannot use and have wasted my money.  Please help me.

    Hi bridgette12,
    This issue usually occurs when you have a Snapfish.com account with the same email address as you are trying to use to create the ePrintCenter account.  This should fix your problem:
    1. Log onto Snapfish.com (reset password if necessary).  You may skip this step if you already know your Snapfish password.
    2. Go to www.ePrintCenter.com
    3. Click Sign In
    4. Click the blue Snapfish logo
    5. Enter your Snapfish login information
    Please let me know if this works for you.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.
