HT1277 How to access incoming mail server

This is driving me mad
I have a myname @me.com email address but is now not working because incoming server is not set -how do I set it - unable to get into change it

When I try to add the account it says it cannot verify the account
Should I start over, perhaps the account and password I am trying to set ( for my husband) is flawed

    Hello Anthony,
    We need to know your ISP or Mail Provider(s) to be specific, many use different port, protocols, & Authentication methods.
    For instance here's how to setup for Comcast...

  • Accessing multiple mail accounts comming from same incomming mail server

    What is the trick to accessing multiple mail accounts comming from the same incoming mail server with the same user ID and password?
    I have a website that I run all of my mail through and I have never been able to check more than one configured mail account using "MAIL".
    Thanks

    Hi Sparky,
    You can configure mutliple accounts easily enough. Preferences > Accounts, then the Account Information tab. You are providing email address, incoming server, username and password for each.
    First account: [email protected]; mail.host.com; sparky; sparkypassword
    Second account: [email protected]; mail.host.com; sparky; sparkypassword
    Check, as noted above, that all accounts are set to enabled and to autocheck: Both settings are under the Advanced tab. Then exit and save. Now your inbox will show a disclosure triangle. Click it and you'll see both accounts.
    Does that explain enough? Are you haveing a problem doing this or just weren't sure how?
    Let us know!
    Good luck,
    John

  • HT1277 incoming mail server host name on ipad 3?

    I updated my iPad 3 and lost one of my e-mail accounts...my @hotmail.com account is still showing up but my @me.com account is gone and I cannot figure out how to get it back on there. Specifically in the incoming mail server part...host name? Please help! I use this email for my business account.

    Try this configuration assistant for iPad:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/mail/#section_1
    If setting up your ".me" account fails starting with "Other" in the assistant, then try iCloud and see if that helps.

  • Suddenly unable las 36 hrs to access yahoo mail server on iPad and iPhone. What is going on, how to fix?  Have tried resetting mail accounts to no avail.

    Unable to access yahoo mail server on iPad suddenly last 36 hrs.  Can anyone assist?

    Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
    Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
    Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
    Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
    This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
    Save the changes
    Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
    Add a new account
    De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
    Enter your email account info for @me.com
    On the incoming mail server page
    Enter the account type as IMAP
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
    on the outgoing mail server page
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
    Check use only this server
    And your problems SHOULD be solved
    If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
    Good luck!

  • Using Yosemite My incoming mail server changes by itself and means I can't access my email. When I go to preferences the new incoming mail server is greyed out. I then have to remove the accounts and get new ones.

    Using Mail with Yosemite 10.10.2.The incoming mail server keeps changing by itself and means I can't access my mail. I  go to preferences and find that the new incoming server is greyed out .  I then have to remove the accounts and then add them again with the correct server. The incoming server which is greyed out is imap.gmail.com

    Try Mail/Preferences/Accounts - select the account, then go to Advanced and deselect "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".

  • HT4864 how do i change my incoming mail server name?

    My incoming mail messages on my MacBook suddenly stopped coming in yesterday. I changed nothing, but now it says I have the wrong password. I checked my incoming mail server settings and think this could be the problem, but do not know how to change it. It is greyd out.

    Since you're posting in the icloud forum, I'm going to assume you're using an icloud email account.
    You're not supposed to edit its settings directly.  Quit Mail.  Click your apple >> system preferences >> icloud.  Remove the checkmark beside mail.  Wait a minute and recheck it.  Then try the account in the mail.app again.
    If you've manually added the account because you're not running Lion or Mountain Lion, then you can check the settings in Mail menu >> preferences >> accounts >> select the account.  The correct settings for icloud mail is here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864

  • 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.

    The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server.  You'll have to ask them about it.

    My Incoming Mail Server  for iCloud is grayed out....so, it is not working. How to fix?

    It easiest way that sometimes solves the problem would be to delete your account from your Mac (system
    Preferences... > iCloud) and then to add it back again.

  • How do I populate the "incoming mail server" field in mail.

    My icloud account is not able to send or recieve emails. Other accounts are. When checking preferences I see the Incoming mail server field is empty and I can not populate it. How can I get round/fix
    this, please?

    Your iCloud email account is automatically set up when you check Mail in System Preferences.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.  This will remove, then automatically set up your iCloud email account again with the proper settings.
