How to create iMAP email account in Mavericks

There used to have a choice to create POP or IMAP type of email account in OS X Mail.  No more in OS X Mavericks or did I miss something? 

Actually, you can still do that by pressing the Alt/Option key when you first set up an email account and at the prompt where you enter your email address, username and password. I can't remember, but I think you press the Option key after you fill out that screen. I think the Create button changes to Next so you can manually select the type of email account (IMAP, POP).

  • How to setup imap email account on my iMac

    I have set up imap accounts on my iphone, macbook pro, and ipad 3 but cannot get it set up on my imac.  It appears as an account but  will not connect and receive messages.

    Hello, is this iCloud/MobileMe/.mac???
    If not who is the provider, the part after the @ sign?
    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

  • How can I delete a junk folder I accidentally created in an IMAP email  account

    I need to know if anyone knows how to delete a junk folder. I created the folder by accident in a IMAP email account.  It's empty and I don't need it .  I don't want to delete the account and re- install it. Any ideas?

    I don't have my iPad set to sync that email account. So my folders are not the same as my IPad. I didn't have the junk folder till I accidentally sent a email to the junk folder and the IPad created a junk folder for that email account. Now there isn't a way to remove the folder,even though it is empty.

  • How do i create an email account

    How do I create an email account on my new macbook pro?

    Do you have an email ISP or an online email account such as GMail? Before you can create a Mail account on the computer you need to have the information provided by your email ISP to enter into the email application: your email address, .e.g., [email protected]; your email provider's SMTP server address, .e.g., smtp.server.com; the POP or IMAP mail server address, e.g., mail.server.com. You will also need your username and password for accessing your mail account.
    In many cases whoever provides your email service will have a help page showing you what to do to configure Mail on the Mac.

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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?

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

    How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

    You do not need to specify the type of account.  If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
    Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
    You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

  • How to delete an IMAP email account before I give computer to relative?

    I plan to give my G4 to a relative and am unable to delete my .Mac IMAP email account from this machine. I have gone to the Mail preferences panel under Accounts. Pressing the minus key apparently deletes this account, but when I restart the computer the account is back listing all messages in my inbox.
    I have found a folder with a name beginning with IMAP followed by some version of my name (I don't recall exactly where this folder was). I deleted this folder, but my account is back after a restart.
    I still use this email account on another computer that I plan to keep. Can someone tell me what else I have to do to get this active email account off of the machine I plan to give away?

    Not sure I understand what your problem is. Why don't you just wipe out the entire ~/Library/Mail folder and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file?
    Actually, I don't understand why don't you do an Erase and Install of Mac OS X. Why are you concerned about your mail account only, and not about the rest of your data?

    Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.

    If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.
