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get the message box "Can't access mail' or something like that and wants me to put in the Yahoo mail password which is no longer valid.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 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).

  • How do I change an email account that is backed up to iCloud?

    How can I change the email account that is currently being backed up to icloud?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll normally be most likely to get help with general iTunes and iTunes Store issues if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, this is a question you probably should ask of Apple through your iTunes Connect account. These are user-to-user technical support forums, so not many content providers who might know the specifics of the process participate here.
    Regards.

    Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

    You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements.   Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

    Are you giving it away temporarily or permanently?
    If temporarily, you could delete the email account or remove the account's saved password and uncheck the account's enable this account option.
    If permanently, you should create a new user account for the new owner, then delete your user account. You may also have to reinstall the version of OSX that was originally licensed to the Mac and remove any applicable applications that are not transferable.

  • Not to sound too stupid but how do I transfer my email account from old Mozilla to Moz. Firefox.

    I have had both Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox on my desktop but have been using the older one the most. The older Mozilla will not support many website demands, i.e. eBay, and now I want to go to Firefox totally now. How do I move my email account from the old account to Firefox?
    Thanks

    The largest difference between the old Mozilla Suite and Firefox, is that Firefox doesn't do email. Look into installing Thunderbird, the Mozilla messaging application.<br />
