  • I can't seem to set up a second email account with Mail. Help...and thanks!

    I'm having an impossible time setting up a second email account on Mail. Seemed as though it would be simple but after I've done all the basics, it sets up the account on MobileMe instead of iCloud and there it stops. Can't send or receive messages. I'm lost!  Advice?

    I do have an iCloud account and have since October. I am trying to set up a second email address. Perhaps I'm asking Mail to do more than it's equipped to do.
    I have set up an alias with the new email address through my existing iCloud account. However, when I test sending and receiving, the emails to and from the new address are in the same list as my regular Mail. Not sure this helps with my desire to separate the two! Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong.
    I do appreciate your help.

    i'm having trouble setting up an outlook email account on my i phone 5, can anyone help

    Outlook is an e-mail client that runs on PCs and Macs. It is NOT an account type.
    Who is your email provider?

  • How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

    I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

    You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info.  Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
    If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
    If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.

  • HT204053 I'm having problems setting up my I cloud account help I let on entering the same apple I'd I have still nothing

    Having problems logging into my iCloud account I keep using the same email address help please.

    Where is it you are trying to enter your email address, what exactly are you trying to do. If you enable mail syncing in your iCloud settings, your mail account is automatically set up for you, you do not need to enter any of the details yourself.

  • I am having trouble setting up my tesco email account on my ipad3 - help?

    I use a tesco email account which I view through outlook on my PC but I am having trouble setting this up on my iPad

    You need to first set up a new account with the information provided by your university. They should supply you with an email address and you should be able to provide your own password. They should also provide you with the name of the incoming mail server to use as well as the name of the outgoing mail server. They should let you know whether to set up the account as an IMAP account or a POP account (with the servers to match).
    If you already have all this information at hand, setting up the email account should be fairly easy. What have you tried thus far?

  • Can I set up a second email account or am I limited to one?

    I've already set up email on my iPhone using one of the listed online service providers that I have an account with. Now, I'd like to see if I can set up another email account to retrieve and send messages using imap through my isp's email server. Is this possible or do I need to download a special app to do this?
    If not and I'm only limited to one provider, is there a way to change my email to use a different provider? I may want to use an email account that is provided through my isp instead of the account that I have with an online email provider.

    This should work for you:
    Open up Settings and click *Mail, Contacts, Calendars...* There should be an "Add Account" option. From there, all you should have to do is enter in the information and you should be set.
    If you need help, let us know who hosts your e-mail and we'll try to help you get things working.

  • HT201320 Can I set up a second email account that I want to keep separate from the one set up for my iPad. Can I choose to send from the second account but not to receive onto my iPad, only on my computer?

    can I set up 2 email accounts on my iPad - one from which  to send and receive and one to send from only ?

    YEs, you can have multiple E-Mail addresses. Just add the additional accounts through the Settings -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    If you also change the mail settings "Show To/CC Label" to ON you can change the sending E-Mail server. You can also set the default account in there also, one more section down in the same E-Mail Settings section.

  • How do I set up a second email account in iCloud?

    I want to add an additional email account to my iCloud account.

    Greetings genekrebs,
    You can add an email alias to your iCloud account. This allows you to have another email address that you can access using the same account. Many users find it helpful to have a "disposable" email account for various reasons. This article explains how to set it up -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I am having trouble setting up my Yahoo email account on my IPhone 4S.

    I continue to receive the error message of "Yahoo Server Unavailable. Please try again later". Is anyone else having this issue?

    Yes - same issue.  I am able to work my yahoo email fine on my iPad, but just bought the iPhone 4s today and cannot set it up for the same reason you state.
    I walked through the advanced sections of both iPad and iPhone and they are set up the same, so I have no idea why this is not working.

  • HT1277 How can I add a second email account to my "Mail" tab on iMac?

    All I have managed to do is add a Smartmail box, but that just specifies folders in my yahoo. I want to check my google email using the same icon. Setting both up on my iPhone was super simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out on my mac.

    Hello,
    On the Mac, in Mail's menu>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the tiny  plus icon & add your account.
