How can I get my mac email account to work?

That requires you to enter the configuration correctly.  You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
"Gmail configuration for Apple Mail"  or  "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes). 
That should get you started..

  • Newbie to MAC-How can I check my .mac email from my work PC?  Thanks!

    Hi there. I am a new MAC user and not the brightes bulb with computers... how can I check my .mac email from my pc at work? Do I just go to mac.com? Thanks!

    And look for the Mail link at the top of the page.
    http://mail.mac.com or http://webmail.mac.com will also take you there directly.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • How can I get a Mac number without a working phone

    Our Home-Hub dosn't work & BT have cancelled our order for new phone & upgraded Home-Hub.
    Despite attempts to resolve the matter BT will not reply by email but instead keep phoning even though they know our phone isn't working.
    Seems our only recourse is to buy a phone from Argos and change ISP BUT they want me to phone them to get a Mac number.
    Mobiles do not work where I live, we do have an olt plug in phone that dosn't ring but I cannot use it (I'm disabled)
    Does anyone know what I can do?

    Hello,
    Thanks for your email.
    Does the Hub not work because the equipment is now faulty, or do you have a problem with the broadband connection itself?
    I'll be happy to look into this further for you. If you haven't already, please send your details to us through our "Contact us" form, which you can get by clicking on my username. It'll be under "About me" (top-left of the page).
    Best wishes,

  • How can I get my hotmail email account on my Iphone?

    I think I need an HTTP server but that is not an option on the phone.

    Yes you can. You can subscribe to a service that lets you use their pop and smtp servers and checks Hotmail for you. For all intents and purposes, it's as if Hotmail is coming directly to your phone. Look at http://izymail.com for one. They even have a free version.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • How do I get my 2 email accounts on different icons?

    How do I get my 2 email accounts on different icons? I already have my yahoo account & my work account set up. I just want to have different mail icons for them. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    You don't. You can view the individual accounts within the mail app if you want, or you can see them in the unified inbox.

  • How can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

    how can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

    You can't, RIM uses a proprietary mail server (in Canada) that pushes mail to BB devices. You will need to get an iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail Exchange, or Exchange mail account to pust mail to your iPhone.

  • HT200027 I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8.  How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

    I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8.  How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!
