  • How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
    I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
    Thanks,
    W

    You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US.  Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail".  Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
    Hope this helps

    What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
    If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

  • How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

    How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

    Applications > Mail
    If you haven't set up a mail account, it will probably ask you if you want to set one up, but here's how I do it.
    Press command-, and that will take you to preferences.
    Up near the top click the "Accounts" tab
    Click the plus button that is located at the lower left corner.
    Enter your name, email address, and password.
    Click enter then click continue
    Set the account type to POP or IMAP. Whichever one you want is fine as long as it works with your email service.
    Don't change the next security settings. Click continue.
    Enter something for the description. Make sure that the "Use Athentication" checkbox is checked. Enter your password and click continue.
    Click continue you might have to go through one of the security settings again. Click continue.
    An account summary will come up. Click "Take account online". Then click create.
    You have added your account to Mail.

    How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

  • HT5576 I forget my security question and even i did set the rescue e-mail.

    I forget my security question and even i did set the rescue e-mail.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
