How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

Can't switch the primary outgoing mail server for Gmail?

I recently got an iPad and went to set up my two Gmail accounts exactly how I have them set up on my iPhone: Gmail Account #1 is my original one, and Gmail Account #2 was linked to it later to utilize its outgoing server (so messages sent from #1 look like they're coming from #2).
On the iPhone, I switched off #1's primary outgoing server and selected #2's. Very simple, very easy.
But on the iPad, when I go to switch off #1's outgoing server, the only option I have available afterwards is to click 'Cancel' - it won't let me turn it off and select another one!
The problem seems exclusive to Gmail, as my Yahoo account doesn't have this issue.
I have a feeling it's an iOS7 glich... I have iOS7 on the iPad, but not on my iPhone. Everything else is set up exactly the same between the two devices. I've tried deleting both accounts and re-activiating, I've tried manually setting them up instead of using Apple's pre-selected system... nothings seems to work.
Anyone?

The issue isn't getting the accounts online - both accounts are added and working. The issue is that Gmail forces me to use the primary outgoing server for their respective accounts - I can't switch it off and select another from that drop-down list like I can with my iPhone.
I am able to switch ON the outgoing server for #2, but the problem is that when I slide the primary server to "off" - the "DONE" button in the top right remains gray and unclickable. Strangely this is not the case for Yahoo - I can select an outgoing server on that account at will.

Setting PRIMARY outgoing Mail Server

i have nine emails from my primary domain, one from a secondary domain, a gmail account and a me.com account.
i am having problems with email (cannot connect to domain name) and i am trying to verify that my outgoing server settings are correct. can someone help me here. it appears that i have to get into an /individual/ email account and at which point i have an option to select SMTP server?! this then pulls up the /first/ image which shows a primary server.
How do i change this primary account?! Do i "simply" enter all new information for each and every email account and change the primary outgoing server for each and every email address?!
How do i /set/ the primary server for an /individual/ account? Do i have to enter a new outgoing primary server for each and every email account/
Do i have to enter a USER NAME that is the same as my email account name each time i enter an outgoing server?
What is the purpose of the ON and OFF buttons for the "Other SMTP Server" accounts listed?
Do i keep the GMAIL outgoing server ON? or "on" only for the GMAIL account?
I am uber confused here and am hoping for some clarification...
THANKS.

Well, first, you only need one copy of each server. cwmx.com is AT&T's SMTP server, and will only work when you are on cellular data; it will not work over WiFi. So start by deleting all cwmx.com servers except the first. cwmx.com should not have a user ID or password.
When you send mail the iPhone first tries to send using the primary SMTP server. If that fails or times out, it tries the secondary servers in the order listed. cwmx.com is a last resort server; most people don't need it at all; it is only needed if your ISP does not relay mail from outside of its network.
For each mail server that you interact with the Primary SMTP server should be the one for that server. The Primary server should never be cwmx.com. So for the universaljointdesign.com account the primary server should be mail.universaljointdesign.com, and you should enter your user ID and password. The secondary should be cwmx.com, and you should turn off all of the other SMTP servers for that account. Further, if mail.universaljointdesign.com does not require that you be within the site firewall when sending you don't even need cwmx.com enabled.
For the gmail account the SMTP server should be smtp.gmail.com, and that's the only one that needs to be on. You will need to enter your full gmail address as ID and your gmail password. If you have 2 factor authentication enabled for gmail you will have to generate a single use password.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline?

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline

I had this problem too but I fixed it today. I have been unable to send emails with two of my 4 accounts.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

You need to get that information from your internet service provider if you are using an email address provided by them or, if you are only using iCloud, then the info can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
FWIW, in order to set up email, you need both an incoming and outgoing server address (in addition to your email address/user name and password). Those are the servers your email program uses when sending or receiving emails.

How to change the number of mails displayed

I have two accounts on my iTouch..I know how to change the number of mails displayed for the exchanged account (being the second-added email account)...But I don't know how to change it on my account email... I only want the recent like 20 messages to be displayed... But after I was reading through my email (meaning that pretty much all my emails were downloaded)..

HT201269 How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?

How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account? I inherited my son's phone and it still shows his phone number even though I can add my own email account. My iCloud is also associated with his phone number.

If you mean you want to change the iCloud ID your phone is signed into on your phone (which looks like an email address), you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.

How to change the primary harddisk without reinstall

Hi,
I want to solve the following task:
Change the primary SATA harddisk to an new SSD in Small Business Server 2003.
What I did:
I installed the SSD in to the system and made a software mirror. The two harddisk showed full synch.
The problem:
When I removed the original harddisk to let the mirrored start, it didn’t. It says: “Ntldr is missing”
What I tried:
I wanted to use fixboot; however Recovery console (nor from SBS neither from XP) didn’t recognize the partition fully. It recognized the Dynamic partition, but without letter and also didn’t find Windows installation.
I am looking for an advice how I can transfer the OS to the new disk without reinstall.
Thanks in advance
Péter Fischer

Server 2003 software mirror requires that you break the mirror if you wish to revert to a single disk. Then, because the boot.ini refers to drive1/partition1, you will need to edit that. The easiest way to test is to boot from a floppy with the
boot.ini altered, while keeping your original drive safe from harm.
Can you confirm that you don't need to load storage drives unique to that mobo or controller.... I'm guessing not since you used software raid.
How to make a boot floppy for Server 2003:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325879/en-us
Having said all that, you will gain little by having the system partition on an SSD drive, and SBS 2003 is out of support in April, so if you haven't made plans to migrate to something newer you might want to start those plans soon.

Changing Location and Outgoing mail server

When I change Location, I need to change the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) (my ISP blocks mail traffic). Is there a way to make the smtp server different for each Location you have defined? Right now, I have to manually switch the Mail.app preferences each time I connect to a new Location, or wait for Mail.app to try to send the mail at which point it puts up a failure dialog where I can change the outgoing server for that message.
thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

It would be nice to define an SMTP server for each account depending on the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and even better, the computer determining the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and automatically making the appropriate SMTP server change for each account but computers aren't quite there or that smart yet.
There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) which provides for switching between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
At least this script makes it a little easier.

How do I delete an outgoing mail server?

Under my Outgoing Mail Sever > Other SMTP Servers - how do I delete one of the SMTP servers? It seems to be causing a problem and I can't shut it off. Every time I shut it off it shows that it is still on.

Go to Settings -> Mail -> (account name) -> Outgoing Mail Server and you should see a list of outgoing servers.
If the outgoing server is in use by one of your mail accounts, it will say "This server cannot be modified" but you should get a red "Delete Server" button if it's not.
If you're not seeing the "Delete Server" button, you need to check that you have not assigned that outgoing server to any of your accounts.
Hope this helps!
