How do I change a pop3 account to imap

HHi, I've recently added my talktalk account to my Mac, it set up a pop3 address instead of an IMAP i can receive emails now but not send any which is really frustrating any ideas?

Greetings Crownjules1,
If you are able to receive email but not send it on your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t send messages
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

    How can i change a POP3 account to an IMAP account ???

    Hi,
    In Outlook we can't "convert" an account from POP3 to IMAP directly. Just setup the account as IMAP and remove the POP3 one. You may need to keep a backup of the POP3 .pst if you downloaded and removed the items from the server. Once the IMAP account
    is setup, move the items from the old .pst flie into the new account.
    If you didn't remove the items on the server when using the POP3 account, you can choose not to keep the .pst file as long as the items are still on the server.

  • How do I change my email account from IMAP to POP on my MacBook Pro

    My email provider has changed and no longer uses Yahoo IMAP, so I need to change the email to a POP account but my MacBook automatically chooses Yahoo IMAP when I try to create a new account.  Any suggestions how I can change from IMAP to POP?

    My email provider is BT and they have just moved me from BT Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.  I deleted the Yahoo email account and then used the Other Account option to input BT Mail, but unfortunately my MacBook decided that it still wanted me to use BT Yahoo.  So for several weeks I keep getting locked out of my mail and get the message box "Can't access mail' or something like that and wants me to put in the Yahoo mail password which is no longer valid.  I don't actually want to use POP (and actually have no idea what IMAP AND POP do!), but when I contacted BT support they suggested that I needed to use POP for BT Mail.  However having trawled the BT site I think what I was told was a load of rubbish.  So I suppose the real question is how to get rid of Yahoo Mail.

  • How do I change my Itunes account to a new one

    How do I change my itunes account to a new id account

    Do you mean that you've updated your existing account, created a new account, or want to do one of those ?
    If you've updated your existing account then to get that update reflected on an iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch then you may need to log out of the account on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in in order to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If you've created a new account then you can log out and back in similar to above (and via the Store > Sign Out menu option on a computer's iTunes), but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can authorise its content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its apps.
    If you want to update your existing account to have a new email address on it then you can do so via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

  • How do I change the itunes account on my computer?

    How do I change the itunes account on my computer?  I let my ex keep my Apple ID as he had purchased a large amount of music, so he uses it on his Iphone and computer, and I started a new account on my Iphone, and I'd like to use that one on my computer, but I can't figure out how to log out of my old Apple ID and use the new one.

    If the desired iTunes library is in a different Mac OS X user account, choose to log out from the Apple menu and then log in.
    If the desired iTunes library is in the same Mac OS X user account, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and specify it.

  • How do I change an iCloud account on an iPad?

    My iPhone and iPad use 2 distinct iCloud accounts, as a by product of the mobile me exit. Now I want to sync these 2 devices, so they need to use the same iCloud account. When I start to change the iPad account, I receive a dire warning that all data in iCloud and the iPad will be lost if I proceed.
    Is the warning untrue, or am I misreading it, or am i going about this incorrectly? How should one change the iCloud account on an iPad to another existing iCloud account? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It does delete it from you iPad but not from the iCloud account.  If you want to migrate the data to a different iCloud account first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all synced data to Off, when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad.  When everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the other iCloud account on your iPad and turn syncing back on for contacts, calendars, etc. When prompted choose merge to upload the data and merge it with any data on this account.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support.  (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)
