How to I set up a verizon mail account in Apple mail?

How to I get up my verizon mail account in Apple mail on my MacBook Air and iMac? 
It's set up an works on my iPhone and iPad, but even though I duplicate the setting (as far a I can tell),
it doesn't work.  It keeps akiing me for the password, thought I set the exact same password that works on
my iPhone/iPad.
Thanks,
Hal

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

  • Can't connect to Office 365 mail account via Apple Mail (Exchange)

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite, but had this problem before upgrading as well. I have an Office 365 mail account, but cannot sync it via Apple Mail. I went into my Apple Mail accounts and tried connecting my Office 365 account through the Exchange option, but it will not connect. From my knowledge, this is not an uncommon problem but it is very inconvenient. Is there any way to get around the glitch, or anything I should be doing differently? I do know a couple people with Office 365 accounts who have been able to make it work, but they apparently did not do anything differently when setting up their account.

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
    5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
    7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

  • Lost e-mail accounts in Apple Mail

    My Mac Pro froze a few days ago and had to restart the computer. Upon restarting the computer, the Apple Mail lost two e-mail accounts. I mean they just disappeared. Another four will not connect to the mail server, keeps on asking for the password, even know it is correct (works fine on my MacBook Pro). Anyone know how I can get the two missing accounts (and e-mail messages) back, as well as having the other four accounts pull messages successfully from my mail server? The remaining e-mail accounts are working fine. Very strange, do not know why this happened. Any help, I would be greatful.

    Backup. SuperDuper would be #1 choice.
    Repair. Disk Warrior 4 is #1 choice for last 7 yrs.
    Setup some backup disks and an emergency boot drive.
    Boot from your DVD and instead of installing, click on Utility Menu -> Disk Utility -> Repair Drive under First Aid.
    PS: This is not the MacBook/MacBook Pro forum.

  • Setting up hotmail account in apple mail

    How do I properly set up my @live.com account in Apple mail? It will send and recieve for a day or so, then when i try to send an email, I get an error. The error either tells me that I have the wrong password or it says "Cannot send the message using the server smtp.live.com:[email protected]   choose a different outgoing mail server." I can recieve emails fine, I just can't send them. What am I doing wrong here?

    Change it to ActiveSync,
    Edit:
    Activesync is not yet available for OSX, only IOS, my apologies.
    Here are the correct settings for POP access, please check yours, also check that you have only 1 smtp server defined.
    Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.live.com (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
    Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.live.com (TLS enabled, port 587)

  • Add account in Apple Mail greyed out

    After migration to Yosemite I imported added my accounts and imported my mailboxes in Apple Mail. This seemed to work fine.
    Now I want to add another mail account in Apple Mail (preferences -> accounts) and I cannot click the + (plus) as it is greyed out.
    I then added the account through system settings and it appeared in Mail.
    After a while (about an hour of inactivity) this account disappears from both Mail and system preferences.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Found this and trying it myself . . . https://discussions.apple.com/message/23992956#23992956. Sounds plausible but it is a work around. Apple should look into it . . .

  • Where is the MailAccounts.plist stored for a network user account using Apple Mail on Snow Lion?

    Where is the MailAccounts.plist file stored for a network user using Apple Mail on Snow Leopard?  It appears one of my users has managed to do something to their mail account as Apple Mail will no longer close once opened and the Sent Folder has a perpetual spinning pinwheel.

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

  • How do i set up my iOS devices to see my mail folders from my Mac?

    how do i set up my iOS devices to see my mail folders from my Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your mail folders are actually "on my Mac" then your iOS devices cannot be set up to see them. However, if your mail folders are within your email service account and your email service is an IMAP account, then the folders should sync between devices.

  • How do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

    how do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

    There is a ay to do it in Mail, using rules, but that's not a very good idea. Homemade rules can cause things like infinite mail loops (where two accounts auto-reply to each others until one or both mailboxes fill up and cannot receive any more messages). See what your mail server offers in this regard. Auto-replies on the server are typically far more reliable and less error-prone.

  • How do I set up my Verizon email on my new ipad

    I have a new iPad and want to set up my Verizon email account for access. My home unit is an iMac running Tiger, 10.4.11. I would like to keep the mail on the server until I download them  on my home computer. I would like to be able to send mail also from my iPad.
    Cheers, Jack

    You will not be able to sync your ipad with that computer. The minimum OS X is Leopard, 10.5.8. You'll have to set up your iPad manually and you will not have any really easy way to back up data or copy pictures and music to your iPad.
    To activate your Verizon Account go to Settings > Cellular and tap the Account button to get started.

  • How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

    For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
    Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

    If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"
