How do you set up Mail without a mobile me account?

I am trying to set up my sister's new Macbook so she can send and receive mail.
She does not have a mobile me or .mac account.
She had been using an older powerbook, using Safari and a yahoo account.
Now, with this new Macbook in Snow Leopard, I want her to be able to use Mail but am unable figure out what settings to use.
Her ISP is something called HEMC. On the older machine, in Entourage, the account name looked like this: username@hemc(POP). Though she did not actually use Entoourage, she used web mail (Safari or Firefox and her Yahoo account.
For incoming mail server I have tried mail.yahoo.com; and pop3.yahoo. com; and mail.hemc.com
None of these work.
For outgoing I have tried all sorts of variations of smtp. Smtp.yahoo.com; smtp.hemc.com;
Meanwhile, if I use Safari and log in to her mail account there, all is working.
I ran into this before trying to help someone else. This is a snap if you have a mobile me account. But not if you don't.

Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

How do you delete e-mail without opening?

I just got a blackberry curve. I want to delete an e-mail without opening it but cannot find an option to do this. When I have the e-mail open and I hit the menu key (the one with the spots) there is an option to delete. I would like to be able to do this without having to open the e-mail. Can someone help me??
Thanks!

Click the email application button where you will see a list of all your emails.
Scroll to the unopened email, but don't click on it. Click the BlackBerry button (the one with the spots).
Scroll down until you see delete. Select that, and then choose where you would like to delete the message (On mailbox & handheld or just handheld).
Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions.

HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

How do you set Yahoo mail sync times on Revolution?

Moved for greater exposure

bulldog69,
I tested my Yahoo account on a LG Revolution, and wasn't able to change the Sync Interval for my Yahoo email account either. Only option to change was the number of email to sync to the device. Microsoft Exchange email accounts are the only type on the Revolution you can change Sync Intervals for.
Let me know if this answers your question.

How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

Hi Guys -
Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
Your help is appreciated!
Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.
-Rich

Hey Rich. Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section. You don't have that?

How do you set up iMac with two seperate iTunes accounts on the same computer?

How to block junk e-mail on iphone/ mobile me account

hello,
My 1st post to support community. Hope you can be patient with me
I am looking for help. I would like to know if there is a way to identify & block junk email on my iPhone. My service provider is Verizon (I have not checked with Verizon). The email account for iPhone is my ********me.com account.
Do I block at me.com or on iPhone?
thank you

Mail filtering must be done at the server level. So, see if your mail provider offers filtering & how to setup the various rules. Such cannot be done on the phone itself.

How do you set up TC with cable internet?

I know this may sound ******** but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable? Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?

but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?
Suggest that you ask TW to provide you with a simple modem.....not a router. The TC is also a router. You don't need two routers and it just makes things more complicated.
Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?
No. You need to connect the coax cable to a modem. The modem provides an Ethernet signal to the TC.

How did you set up your spouses account?

How did you set up your spouses iOS device, iCloud account, etc? And what do you recommend?
My wife and I have one iMac we share (with two login accounts - so basically two computers), an iPad, and two iPhones. Since there are certain things we really like to share between accounts (PhotoStream, Find My iPhone, Documents/iCloud Drive), we've shared the same master iCloud account for the last few years. This has had some drawbacks with things we *don't* want to share, such as we now have to sync our Safari bookmarks, and our keychain/logins for personal websites sometimes overlap, or the "Recent Contacts" shows the last people my wife contacted, not mine, etc.
The pros have outweighed the cons, but it has always left me wanting.
And now that things have changed a bit with iOS 8 and iCloud Drive, Handoff, and Family Plan. I figured now would be a good time to revisit our setup and what would work best for our family. (Of course, this might be a bit premature, with the looming new Photos App from Apple coming, that might make us buy storage in iCloud, but if you have any forethoughts into that, I'd appreciate hearing them!)

You may wish to look at alternatives to sharing the items you've been sharing. For example, you could use shared streams instead of my photo stream, in many ways it might be better, that way you share selected items rather than everything. You really don't need to share Find my phone, you can still use find my phone to find a device associated with any account if you sign in with that account, if you want to see where someone is find friends is a much better choice. You can also share links to iWork documents using iCloud document by document.

How to set up Mail without own Internet account

I stay at different homes, using their Internet connections to check my e-mail online. If I get e-mail via the Internet, using any available network, how can I set up Mail? Mail asks for my incoming and outgoing server, but I am using any available network. Can I use Mail at all without my own Internet account? What if I use the account of a family member or friend who has Internet at their residence?

Well, you need a permanent email address somewhere to which all your email goes. You cannot use web mail addresses such as the free email accounts at Yahoo or Google because they are not accessible from Mail.
If your parents have cable internet service from RoadRunner, for example, then they can authorize an email account for you. Your email address would be something like "[email protected]" You would set up the account as you would normally using the ingoing and outgoing mail servers provided.
Now when you are at some other location on the internet you can retrieve your email by simply letting Mail fetch it from your email address. If you need to send email then you will need to provide the outgoing mail server address used by the internet mail system you are now using. You can add this as a second server so it's easy to switch between them when you need to.
I suggest you look at Mail Help from Mail's Help menu where you can search for more information on configuring Mail.

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

That would depend on what kind of email system your company uses and what they will allow to access. Your best source of information would be the IT department.

How Do You Set Mail To 'Manual' ?

Never had problem with iPhone until yesterday. I am not receiving 'push' e-mail anymore. I did not do any changes to the iPhone at all. Any e-mail now I have to go to inbox and click on the curved arrow symbol at bottom left of page in order to load the waiting e-mails. In a different posting someone mentioned to test 'push' function by setting e-mail to 'manual' and then sending your Yahoo account an e-mail from your computer (I assume using a different e-mail service). In the 'settings' menu for 'mail' I do not see where you set for 'manual'. How do you set mail to 'manual' setting? And do you think I should just RESET the iPhone (using the iPhone or hooking it up to iTunes on the computer to RESET) ?

I have no other e-mail accounts set up. Anyway I did RESET my iPhone (using the RESET button on the iPhone) and all is well again (how long I do not know). My e-mails are being 'pushed' again so that I can see from the main menu the little red dots (with the numerals inside) showing how many e-mails are waiting for me. I love this feature. I had 'push' e-mail on my ex-Blackberry. BUT, I do not see the AUTO-CHECK anywhere. I am heading over to the Apple Techies at my local Apple store to ask them about this missing AUTO-CHECK. I have a feeling you need two account set up on your iPhone for this feature to appear. I could be wrong. Thanks, everybody........
