How to change the smtp. element of the outbound mail server

When adding an existing email account it is not possible to change the 'smtp.' portion of the outbound mail server address.
My smtp server name is 'mailout.easymail.ca'
How can I set this?

It is NOT a prefix. It is a label. It indicates the type of server this particular setting will connect to.
Here are the relevant bits of two of my accounts settings.
account27: 
INCOMING: account27, , (imap) mail.tamba.co.uk:143, plain, passwordCleartext 
OUTGOING: mail.tamba.co.uk:25, plain, passwordCleartext, true 
 
account29: 
INCOMING: account29, , (imap) mail.btinternet.com:993, SSL, passwordCleartext 
OUTGOING: mail.btinternet.com:465, SSL, passwordCleartext, true 
No skulldduggery was required to get those ''mail'' "prefixes" in place. ;-)

Changing the outbound Mail server?

Are we able to change the outbound mail server in iphone 3GS? Currently I have Mobileme IMAP on my mac but all the mail is filtered via gmail. On my mac I have the ability to change the outgoing mail so that it looks like I am sending from gmail. On paper it looks like I use gmail, but really iam using Mobileme as a one stop shop. can I do this for my iPhone too?

you need to check the smtp server in setting mailfor your particular mail accont.
of course you need to have permission to use another server from the provider,some are free I believe.

How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

John,
This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.

How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.
I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail. I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

HT2954 CAnnot change the incoming mail server for iCloud account

I cannot recieve mail because the imap setting is wrong, but I cannot highlight it to change.

Hi, was it maybe setup as a MobileMe or dot Mac account in the first place?
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

TS3988 I cannot change the incoming mail sever

I recently set up two aliases through iCloud and then added them as new email accoutns to my email client on my computer. However, I cannot click on the field to change the incoming mail server. There is a generic greyed out 'mail.example.com', but I cannot change that on either account. I also have squiggly lines nest to the inboxes on the email client. When I click on those, I am asked to put in a password. The only password I know to put in is my iCloud Password, but that doesn't work, and it asks again.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I am up against the same problem with a reticent Incoming Mail Server field as I attempt to set up IMAP accounts for my original mac.com alias addresses. I've tried deleting the incomplete account setups, then recreating an identical account using "imap.mail.me.com" without success. Nor have I found any improvement by changing the Account Type from an iCloud IMAP to a plain IMAP account…and back again.
The field labeled Alias appears to offer a choice of Custom or Edit Aliases but attempts to make a different selection are futile…the setting remains on Custom.
Curiously, however, my primary mac.com address appears to be operating correctly, though it requires an altogether different IMAP address — po3-imap.mail.me.com. Presumably, a solution exists; however, it remains elusive and far from intuitive to this observer. Any insight from more experienced users than I will be gratefully received! Thank you.
n.b.: a conversation with an AppleCare specialist left him equally perplexed and questioning whether a mac.com alias email address can, indeed, be set up in iCloud to work alongside ones primary mac.com address.

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.
