HT201320 How do I set up my iCloud email account on an OLD iPhone w/ OS4.X?

Hey everyone,
My iPhone 4S got stolen, and I don't qualify for an upgrade for one more month.  So I've reverted to my old 3G iPhone.  The rep at ATT told me NOT to upgrade the OS - that it would make this thing run slower than molasses.  SO, I've only synced the super important stuff and am operating under OS 4.2.1.  However, when I go in the Mail section to set up my ME account and calendar, the only option is MobileMe.  I gave MobileME my iCloud credentials, and all it does is allow me to turn in Find My Phone.  It does not add my mail, contacts or calendar.  Does anyone know how to do so?

You could go to icloud.com on your computer, then download your iCloud calendar as an .ics file as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 (under Calendar...icloud.com Calendar), then import this to a supported program on your computer such as Outlook or Mac iCal (if you have one) and sync it to your phone using iTunes; or if you don't have a supported program, import it to an external service such as Google Calendar (see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/30834/add-an-ical-or-.ics-calendar-to-google-cale ndar/) and sync it to your phone using a gmail exchange account (as explained here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).

    You can't do that within your iCloud Mail settings, you'd need to forward the mail from the individual 3rd party accounts.

    I use outlook express 2007 as my main email account with yahoo as the server. How do I put outlook on my iPad and if I do do I then remove yahoo?

    outlook is an email client
    yahoo is an email provider
    you can do various things you can setup your ipad to sync mails from your email client when you sync it with itunes

    or you can setup your ipad to get mails directly from the email provider just like the email client does

    Breathe is a pop account, but the settins on the website are wrong. Does anyone else use Breathe for their email and know the correct settings?

    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.

    1. Did they enter an email address to use for an Apple ID? If they didn't, then they can create one where I stated in the other post - Settings>iTunes and App Store. They can create the ID in there.
    If they want to use a credit card with their Apple ID. See this.

    if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.
    Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
    2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

    Have you double checked all of the settings? .... The outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I have put my daughter's iphone under my apple id, as after i entered the payment info there was a message saying she wasn't allowed an account (too young) how do i set up her own email account etc

    You have to be 13yrs. of age or older to have an iTunes account. So, if you want your daughter to have her own account, what you need to do is create another Apple ID for yourself. You can create one here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Must be a verified email address...you can get a free Gmail account first. Then, when setting up the iTunes account, redeem an itunes gift card rather than using a credit card. That way, she'll have her own account, which you can monitor, but its not associated with any credit card.
