Having trouble setting up Guest users account email address

Hi.I've been using my Macmail with my administrative account for some time now.I recently set up a guest user account for a visiting reletive.I wanted to get the "Macmail" e-mail program up and running as well so they could use the same e-mail address that I use with my administrative account.After clicking on the Macmail icon in the dock and going through the steps to set up the account......I was then able to successfully send out and recieve a test e-mail. However...........after logging out of the guest account and back to my administrative account and then logging back into the guest account again.........when I now click on the Macmail icon in the dock........the e-mail program starts asking me to go through the steps to set an email program up again.It seems to have "forgotten" or disregarded that I already did this the last time I was logged in.I'm wondering why its doing this and how do I permanently set up this email account so that it doesn't disappear every time I log out? Thanks for any assistance.

Files created while using a guest account are deleted when the user logs out. A temporary home folder is created for the guest’s files. When the they log out, the home folder and it’s contents are deleted.
Instead create a standard non-admin account...
Create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+"

  • HT1694 I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my iphone 5s

    I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my Iphone. I've tried many times and still saying UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ? Any suggestions?

    Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers.  Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

  • Having trouble setting up my Verizon/Yahoo email account on my LG Ally

    I am both a Verizon Wireless and Verizon FIOS customer. I have an email account through my FIOS which is Verizon/Yahoo account, and has a @verizon.net address. How do I set up this type of email account? The only option my phone offers is through corporate (it's not a corporate account), so I tried using that option. When I entered in the requested data, I get an error message that tells me I am not using the correct server info. Am I doing this right? Can someone please provide the correct server info for a Verizon/Yahoo FIOS account? 
    Thank you.

    I don't remember if you have to turn on the mail forwarding option from the options section on the web first or not, like Gmail. You may have to set it up manually.
    # Under User Information, do the following:
       1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people.
       2. In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name followed by @verizon.net.
    # Under Server Information, do the following:
       1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type incoming.verizon.net.
       2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type outgoing.verizon.net.
    # Under Logon Information, do the following:
       1. In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Verizon Online.
       2. In the Password box, type your password.
       3. Select the Remember password check box.

  • Im having trouble setting up my mail account, my mail will send but not receive and it is a  hotmail live account. Any soloutions on how to fix this

    Hi i have a Windows Live Account and have been trying to set up my 'Mail" account. I can set it up to send my messages but am unable to get it to receive my mail. Does anyone know how it should be set up in case I've set one part of it wrong or how I would find out what is preventing it from working?
    Thanks

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • Having trouble setting up my website's email account on my iPhone 3G

    Hey, I'm trying to set up my iPhone 3G to receive emails from my website's MailEnable WebMail inbox and I'm having some trouble.
    I don't know what my Outgoing Mail Server Host Name (smtp) is. My website help section advises they don't have an outgoing smtp server and that my broadband supplier can help.
    Can anyone assist? Thanks Pt

    If your mail account provider doesn't have an SMTP server, then you can use the one from your ISP's email account if you're on your home network, or you can use your cell carrier's server settings when you're on 3G/EDGE. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > the account > SMTP will have settings for Other SMTP servers; if your carrier's is there, toggle it ON.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

    I am having the same issue but only with AOL. I deleted the account and am trying to set it up again without any luck. I've been trying to get it to work all day. I called AOL and Apple. No suggestions beyond what I already tried. 
    If you have any ideas what to do, I would love to hear them.

  • I am having trouble setting up my tesco email account on my ipad3 - help?

    I use a tesco email account which I view through outlook on my PC but I am having trouble setting this up on my iPad

    You need to first set up a new account with the information provided by your university. They should supply you with an email address and you should be able to provide your own password. They should also provide you with the name of the incoming mail server to use as well as the name of the outgoing mail server. They should let you know whether to set up the account as an IMAP account or a POP account (with the servers to match).
    If you already have all this information at hand, setting up the email account should be fairly easy. What have you tried thus far?
