How do we set the incoming server on mail set up as it is grayed out?

Hi we are setting up an icloud email account, but we are unable to type in the incoming server field, how do we access this field?

You indicate that you are using OS X Lion. To set up iCloud mail, just open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Mail, so your mail account will be set up automatically on Mail

  • HT1338 where do I find what to put in the incoming server on Mail?

    I can't get any of my mail from  my @me.com account or even my gmail accout through Mail. I have deleted all but one email which I never use trying to get the stupid thing to work now I am trying to add my accounts back to Mail and I cant find what to put in the incoming server. I can't find where to find what to put there or anything of help or a bit useful. What the heck is the stupid thing and can I have it tattooed to my harddrive so I never have to look for it again?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks Topher,
    But..I tried that...It fixed the me.com but not the gmail or ymail I am not sure what the deal is. I am also having issues with my computer freezing up, weird icons (spotlight in the top right of the screen, a USA flag by the time and date) I Just got rid of the Flag by clicking on it and un checking the show icon box but I have done that everyday for weeks and it is just now taking it off the screen. I got rid of the spotlight bar by restarting my computer. Sometimes I cant even shut down my computer because Mail or Safari wont allow it even though I shut all the windows and even quit the apps.
    Half the time It wont stay connected to the internet either... and when it does it runs so slow its mind numbing.
    I am wondering if there is a trojan or something going on other than I cant figure out how to work Mail after using it for 4 years...O.o
    Any ideas?

  • HT201320 I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. H

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

    the smtp server is the property of the mail provider and running in their server room
    talk to them
    and make sure the ports required by the mail providers smtp server are not blocked by your firewall or by your router or by your isp

  • The space bar option disappears when I am typing in the IMAP in the incoming server I need the correct spacing, The space bar option disappears when I am typing in the IMAP in the incoming server I need the correct spacing

    The space bar option disappears in the Incoming Server set up. I cannot type in IMAP: Port because I have no spacer options.

    Thanks for your quick response. I am attempting to type in the Incoming Server box I need to type IMAP: Port 143 I can only type IMAP:Port143 which is the wrong spacing

    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
    You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • How do I adjust the HTTP server receive timeout for one site on Ironport S670

    Hi All,
    How do I adjust the HTTP server receive timeout for one site on Ironport S670?A web based application can take a long time (45 to 60 minutes) to fill a form once a user Login.The proxy will timeout the connection before the result comes back.How do I resolve the issue?
    Thanks

    Sandeep,
    There is no option to adjust timers for one specific website.  Any changes will affect all websites.  The setting is under Security Services > Web Proxy.  If only one site is being problematic for you, I'd recommend you consider bypassing it.
    Is this an HTTPS site?
    You may want to open a TAC case and have them take a deeper look into this.

  • Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

    In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
    search tool?
    <P>
    Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
    @dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
    <P>
    Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
    string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
    first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
    the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.
    <P>
    Please note, Messenger Express is part of the Messaging Server. For more
    information on Messenger Express, please see the release notes at
    http://home.netscape.com/eng/server/MExpress/relnotes.htm

    You can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

    How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?
    I am having a problem running report 9i from forms 9i (see below thread). How do I find out the name of the report server? I checked my C:\ids\reports\conf directory but don't see anything that gives me the name of the reports server. I also don't have a iashome directory.
    Also, I just want to run the paper report (not the web version).
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    please read teh Forms / Reports integration paper in teh Collateral section for Oracle9i Forms at otn.oracle.com/products/forms
    In summary, you have to create an external Reports Service that you can then give a name.

  • How can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    how can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    FWIW, back at work we have a Palo Alto Networks firewall and VPN. Have configured both the iPhone and the iPad with the pertinent details.
    If I connect while in the premises (same LAN), connection is instantaneous and flawless.
    If I connect while away, no matter which external network, the first attempt to connect ALWAYS fails with a NOT FOUND error. Yet if I try again immediately after, it ALWAYS connects with no further issues.
