Help setting up POP in Mail

I just got my new iMac today and I'm trying to set up our two mail accounts. So far, I have the accounts set up and I can receive emails on both accounts, but my first problem is:
I'm getting 2-3 emails that are all the same
and the next problem is I cannot send mail from either account. The POP server and the SMTP server are the same: mail.beyondbb.com. When I try to send mail, I get the following error:
"Cannot send message using server mail.beyondbb.com. Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings."
Then it gives me the alternative severs to choose from... one is a .mac and the other is the mail.beyondbb.com: with the email address next to it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and why I am getting duplicates??
Thanks in advance!!

Have you taken a look at the information on postfix.org./Documents
Actually the samples there are enough to get this up and running if you don't end up making the same bummers I did.

  • Setting up pop e-mail on ipad2 reply to rysz

    This is my rely to rysz regarding setting up of e-mail on my ipad.  I did exactly what you advised, clicked on "other", entered my name, e-mail address and description and when I clicked on "next" it had a checkmark next to all three items (name, email account and description) and it should have given me two windows, one imap and the other pop, but it gave me only imap.  This happened to me some time ago, but somehow, it later appeared as imap and pop.  Is there anything I should do to get the options of imap and pop?  Is there anything I should do on my computer's email settings?
    This is so frustrating!!!  Please help.

  • Help setting on Yahoo! mail account.

    When I go to make a new acount in Mail it asks me for
    Account Type: (.Mac, POP, IMAP, EXCHANGE)
    Account Discription:
    Full Name:
    Username:
    Password:
    I have a Yahoo! Mail account and I'm quite sure that it's a POP server. So when I choose the POP server it asks for my Account Discription which is default "POP ACCOUNT" and than my namw and e-mail address...So i enter my E-mail address and hit continue.
    The next step is to set up your Incoming Mail Server. This is where I get stuck. I don't know what server yahoo works off of...is it just "mail.yahoo.com" i'm not sure! but when I do enter "mail.yahoo.com" and than my password it says..
    "The POP server “mail.yahoo.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email."
    Any imput would be appreciated!

  • Setting up POP e-mail on a Muse site hosted on Business Catalyst

    Hi, I've recently taken a Muse site 'live' using one of the 5 'credits' I got with the Creative Cloud Subscription.  This, I understand, means that the site is hosted on WebBasics+ service, which includes hosted e-mail.
    The domain name has been registered with 1-2-3, redirected to the BC servers.  This is working fine.  Now I want to set up a POP mail account for the domian.
    But there's no e-mail options showing on the BC site management for the domain. 
    How do I go about getting e-mail with this domain on the BC 'system'.
    Any help greatfully appreciated.
    RP

    Thanks for the reply.  Have to be honest, I find Adobe a little unclear. 
    When I first came across editorial mentioning 5 free sites, I assumed it would be the 'entry level' service:  WebBasics+, as shown on the main pricing web page.
    Now you're saying, the 'CC credits' only give me access to the 'Webhosting' service.  This service isn't shown on the Pricing web page, so I took it that WebBasics+ was the ebtry level.
    Now that I go back to the pricing page, I see there is a link (a small one) to the Detailed Pricing breakdown.  Which does show Webbasics.  I wish I'd seen that before. 
    I feel a right chump!
    Thanks for your reply, though.

  • Need help setting up corporate e-mail on Samsung Continuum...

    I have a Samsung Continuum and I would like to set-up my corporate e-mail. At work, we use Outlook Express and I was wondering how I need to set this up to make it work?

    You will have to contact a member of your IT department at your place of employment.   They will be able to give you permission to receive mail outside of work and they will also help your set the feature up on your phone. 
    Thank You

  • Help setting up work e-mail on my Palm Pre Plus

    My co-worker has her work e-mail/calendar set up on her Palm Pre and I used the same settings on my Palm Pre Plus but I get the "unable to validate incoming mail server settings" message.  I've tried changing the settings a few times and nothing works.
    Any suggestions?

    Most antivirus programs for PC's have built in spam blockers. This is likely why your PC is not getting the spam but your Ipod Touch issue with spam. Check the App store to see if there is a spam blocking app for your email program on the Ipod.

  • I just got an iPhone, I need help setting up two GMAIL mail accts.

    So I just got an iPhone 4S.
    I have two gmail accts, I tried to set them up, but it keeps asking me for a incoming mail server, and a out going mail server. What do I do?
    My iCloud mail is already on the iPhone 4S

    How are you setting them up? If you go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add new account and select "Gmail", you shouldn't have to input any server information.
    If you're doing something else, Google should be able to provide you with server information. Or, if you have the same account on an computer, check your email settings there.
    Best of luck.

  • Change account setting from POP to .mac in Mail

    OK, I have an account I set up in Mail. It is a .mac account, but I inadvertently set it up as POP. Suddenly on March 1st, sending messages from that account would always fail.
    "Cannot send message using server smpt.mac.com"
    It works fine now from my other accounts (even my other .mac accounts), but not the one that is set as POP in Mail.app. If I edit the massage to change the "from account,' then it works fine.
    Could this failure to send problem be related to setting up the account as POP? I don't see how to edit that setting anymore. I don't want that setting to carry over to the iPhone when I buy one and sync it. Thanks.

    "What double punctuation problem?"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=822572&tstart=0
    It turned out to be caused by a corrupt launch services database.. It''s known to cause Spell Checker to double punction marks.. It also stops Mail from sending messages..
    I bet this corruption is the reason that my Mac didn''t recognize the iPhone that was attached.. Also,, it''s probably the reason why I couldn''t sync my old phone via my Bluetooth adapter.. I'll reset Launch Services and see if that fixes these problems..
    BTW,, I set up a new Mail account as .Mac and I was able to send messages.. I haven''t checked again since I started getting this double punctuation.. I bet I can''t.

  • Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

    Hello everyone,
    I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it. 
    They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook. 
    Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
    I then setup the second btinternet  email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance
    PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

    Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.
