How do you add a existing email account into Mac Mail?

I have a Yahoo account, but when I add the email in as a "online account" in under the add account in the Mac Mail, it doesnt do anyhting else. How do I get it so I can just click on the app and it pulls up with inbox. (Like on my iPhone.) I dont understand why it doesn't do anything, when I set it up on my phone it just pulled up and got emails right away. Thanks for the help!!

I don't have a yahoo account, so I'm just going from what should happen.
Do you get any errors when adding the account?
If it adds without error, is there Yahoo mailboxes within all the standard mailboxes (inbox, sent, trash, junk)?
Is there a section in the Mailbox list for Yahoo (near the bottom)?
If you have more than one email account, they are all integrated into the unified Inbox, much like the iPhone.

How do I add my UQ email account to Mac Mail?

I want to add my UQ email account to the mail on the desktop, but it won't let me. It just says that the password is wrong (but its the same password I use to acess the email account online, through UQ) They tried to add it in the store but couldn't...but they thought that it might have something to do with their interent restrictions. Has anyone been able to do it?

you need to contact suddenlink and ask them what POP settings to use. we can not help you with that.

How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

Get someone in the IT department of your university to verify the settings for their email server. It's possible that you overlooked something when setting up the account.

HT1277 How can I add a second email account to my "Mail" tab on iMac?

All I have managed to do is add a Smartmail box, but that just specifies folders in my yahoo. I want to check my google email using the same icon. Setting both up on my iPhone was super simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out on my mac.

Hello,
On the Mac, in Mail's menu>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the tiny plus icon & add your account.

HT201342 How do you change passwords in email accounts??? Just got new iPhone and no record of previous passwords.....

How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.) If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993

Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
