    I'm having problems with my email account. I receive emails when I'm in a wifi zone.  But if the wifi is turned off and i'm not in a zone I don't receive my emails through the cellular network.  Only when I power off the phone and turn it back on, do I receive the emails through the cellualr network (again with the wifi off)

    In your email settings on the phone check to make sure it is set to receive emails on cellular network.  It's a feature you can turn off so your phone isn't constantly updating emails on the cell network, but if you are usually in a place with wifi and aren't concerned about going over your data allowance, you can turn it back on. 

  • Will iCloud sync all email accounts connected to the mail application?

    Will iCloud sync all email accounts connected to the mail application?

    The questions on mail and MobileMe are ones that I have, too. But another question/issue that I have is the inability for my iPhone to separate calendars for me. I have 2 work calendars and one personal calendar. Plus I have a family calendar. I would really like to be able to look at my calendars on the iPhone and see what I have for personal, family and business. I was able to do this with my old Blackberry.
    When I looked at the video for MobileMe, it seemed to accomplish this on the computer (mac or pc) but I don't remember seeing the iPhone give good distinction between different calendars (i.e. syncing different calendars or separating them by colors).
    Any thoughts?

  • How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?

    Hello all,
    How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
    When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
    I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
    When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
    I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
    Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
    The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
    This is driving me bananas!
    Thank you for any help you can provide!
    ~ Angela

    If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Verizon Email accounts and Windows 8 Mail App

    I will be upgrading to Windows 8 and will like to use the Windows desktop maill app for my Verizon.net account.
    However, in all of the preview editions of this app, including the one I upgraded to today, the app does not support POP3 mail accounts. I does support IMAP accounts.
    They suggest that I contact my email vendor to see how I can retrieve my email by configuring it as an IMAP or an EAS account.
    Does anyone know how to set one of these up for Verizon.net mail accounts?

    Verizon doesn't support either of those options, you may have to use a different mail app.  
    Millions of users have email accounts that rely on POP3 mail servers. Many ISPs even give their users POP accounts by default, but don’t tell that to Microsoft as the company steadfastly refuses to support POP3 in Windows 8′s built-in email.
    You have no particular obligation to use the built-in Windows Mail, but it is currently the only email client for Modern UI. You can install any of dozens of desktop email applications including Windows Live Essentials mail, Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. However, if you want to use the built-in Mail with a POP account, there’s a workaround that involves routing your messages through an online service such as Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook.com. 
    The steps below describe how to use Outlook.com to retrieve your POP inbox in Windows 8′s Mail.

  • HT3529 Is there any way to sync iMessages from an iPhone into the Messages on a Mac Book Pro?

    Basically, for me to upgrade to an iPhone 5s, I'll have to trade in my iPhone 4s. The thing is, I'm pretty sentimental when it comes to certain text messages and I would really like to be able to save them all somewhere, somehow. Everything else is backed up to my laptop, so I'm not concerned about anything else on the phone; it's just not wanting to part with the text messages... It would be nice if there is a way to sync the rest of one's messages into the Messages app on the MacBook Pro. Is that possible?

    If the photos were on the iphone when the last sync was performed, then you should be able to restore from backup.

  • I have been having problems downloading one email account for over a week. I have removed and re-added account.

    This seems to be a problem brought on by the latest version of TB. Can I roll-back to older version?

    I also have 8.1 Pro and haven't had that problem. You can try downloading an older version of TB, but I don't know whether your machine will allow the install? Pick your poison: <<Link deleted as it is not to a Thunderbird download in a Mozilla server >>
    Old versions can be downloaded from the Mozilla FTP server if it is absolutely necessary. Not receiving mail is not necessary. EVER.

    Did you use TimeMachine to restore your files?
    Did you install the app or restore?
    Makes a lot of difference to specify just how you swapped out and what you did.
    Are you running Mountain Lion or older?

  • Why am I having major graphical glitches when running windows 7 on my mid 2010 mac book pro

    I installed windows 7 on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13". It does not seem like I can tie it to any specific update or driver update. Has any one else noticed this. I found switching to the basic theme has stop the start menu and bottom task bar from glitching out but I can't view anyhing on the web in either windows explorer or firefox. The funny thing is I can log in and play Eve Online with out any issues. It seems to only affect the window pains themselves and anything i try to view on the web.

    Yes i did install it when i finished the windows installation. I am thinking something happened during a windows update

  • I was upset that I was having trouble with the mail on the Mac Book Pro.  I threw away the app for this.  Is there any place to get it back the computer.   I have looked for my install disks to no avail.  Is there anywhere I can download it back to my com

    I threw the program away.  I need to have it on my computer.  Is there anywhere I can find the download for mail for mac.   I have looked for the install disks to no avail..  Can anyone help me?

    There is nowhere that you can download it from.  You need your Mac OS X install disk.  If you can't find it, you'll need to replace it.  Then you can install Mail from that disk.

  • How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

    How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
    The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
    What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
    Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

    The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
    Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
    With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
    I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
    in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
    the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
    sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
    my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
    /sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
    I'm so confused.
    Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
    When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

    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.
