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:

If setting up your ".me" account fails starting with "Other" in the assistant, then try iCloud and see if that helps.

HT201320 what is the incoming mail server host name and user names

Hi there,
I am trying to add my school email account to my phone and I am able to fill in the
Name
Email
and Description
but am not sure what I am supposed to fill out in the Incoming Mail Server spots:
Host Name
User Name
and the password is already filled in?
and Im not sure what the Outgoing Mail Server is either.

You'll have to ask someone at your school what the incoming server settings are for their email. These differ for every email provider/account.

It should setup email automatically when you enable it in your iCloud account.

Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

How to get mail server host?

Hi, All.
I try to implement my background co and get two questions.
1. How can I get the mail server host name which I set in GP Administrator?
2. How can I get my EP server`s host name?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
No idea about first question.
For second, you can try this code :
try {
     InetAddress thisIp =InetAddress.getLocalHost();
     String url = "http://"+thisIp.getCanonicalHostName();
     final String instanceNumber = System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEM").toString();
     final int httpPortNumber = 50000 + 100 * Integer.parseInt( instanceNumber );
     url+=":" + httpPortNumber;
} catch(Exception e){

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

Access the homescreen and tap "Settings."
Go to "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" and tap "Add Account." Your iPhone should display a list of email service providers. Even though you are setting up a Hotmail account, you will be doing it first through Gmail on your iPhone. Tap the Gmail icon to create a new account. Enter your name and a user name and password for the new Hotmail account you will be making later. Enter "imap.gmail.com" in the "HostName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
Enter your name, email address, password, and the description of the account. Next, click "Save." You should now be able to check your email from the homescreen.
Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the "Outgoing Mail Server." Enter the password for this Gmail account in the "Password" column. Enter user name for this Gmail account in the "UserName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen. Press the "Home" button to return to the iPhone's home screen.
Use the Web browser to go to Hotmail.com and create a new account. Use the user name and password for the account that you entered into the Gmail account on the iPhone earlier. Click on “Settings” after the account has been created.
Click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. Click on the "Pop/IMAP" tab and select "Enable IMAP." Click on the "Save” button. Click on “Settings” and select “Accounts” and then “Add Another Email Address” from the webpage. Enter the name of your existing Hotmail account in the column. Press “Save.”
Go to the inbox. Open the message from Gmail and click on the link in the message box. Select the “Options” tab and check the “Forwarding email” box.
Send yourself a message to your Hotmail account from an email client. Click on the icon of the Mail program at the bottom of the iPhone’s screen. The email you sent to Hotmail will appear in the inbox of the Gmail account in the iPhone's email.

Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice, means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

TS3988 The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences. If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

TS4002 I cannot edit my incoming mail server name under iCloud

This morning my iCloud email stopped working. When I open the Mail preferences panel and look at the iCloud account, the Incoming Mail Server is listed as "mail.example.com" and is greyed out. I cannot edit this entry to the proper iCloud server name. I can edit my user name and password, but when I try to save changes it tells me that I cannot leave the Incoming Mail Server name blank. Which wouldn't be a problem if I could, you know, change it.
This just started this morning. I noticed that Mail was asking me for passwords that have been in my Keychain for ages, and I had to manually enter them all to get to my email.
My account is working on my iOS devices.
Tom

Looked around on other threads on Apple Support and found a solution that worked for me.
    - Delete your iCloud account in Mail Preferences, Account tab.
     - Click "+" to add an account
     - Fill in your iCloud name-address-password, then hold Option key down, then click 'Continue'. Holding Option down takes you to a screen you normally don't see!
     - Change the incoming Mail Server from 'mail.me.com' to 'imap.mail.me.com'
     - Proceed creating your account.
Try!

Incoming Mail Server Name

I am trying to set-up Mail accessing from an Exchange server. I have tried setting up an Exchange account and also an IMAP account, based on what I have read on these forums, but have been unable to receive mail. I can send to my hearts delight, but not receive. I'm wondering if I have my naming convention is right. If I have the Outgoing Mail server set-up as: smtp.exxon.com... then shouldn't my Incoming Mail Server be mail.exxon.com? I've seen several posts regarding this same problem, but I can't seem to find answer to it. Any help much appreciated.
Using Mac G4, System 10.4.7

Wait a minute... I just re-read your response...
if your sever is called smtp.exxon.com then your
incoming mail server will also be called
smtp.exxon.com.<
My incoming and outgoing are supposed to be named the
same thing?
My account at home is not set-up that way. Please
advise.</div>
Yes, the should be named the same... this is unless you have mail.exxon.com as well. But no harm in trying it with smtp.exxon.com. There shouldn't be any harm in that.
Cheers

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
