HT201320 I'm unable to click my mail setting, add new account,clouds ?? All seem grey :(

Hi,
can anyone tell me what's wrong with my emails options , as i can't change the setting of emails, all are grey even the clouds , the add new account ?? Everything is grey

If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well.  I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them.  I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

  • Lost all settings for Mail, setting up new account causes Mail to crash

    Not sure if this problem is related to a recent archive and install or the recent 10.4.8 update, but a user's email on my G5 apparently lost all her mail, settings, etc. When Mail was clicked on, a series of new account windows appeared, which I filled out with the relevant info, but when i clicked Done, I get the prompt: A keychain cannot be found to store "user's name." It gives me the option to set to default or cancel. When I click on cancel, a summary of all the relevant info appears in a window, but when I attempt to open Mail it always crashes. Not sure where to go from here?
    We have another computer (G3) running 10.3.9 with her Mail app working. Is there any way to transfer or import her Mail app to this computer?

    Nol longer relevant since updating to Leopard.

  • Mac mail will not add new accounts

    Hi,
    Recently I added two new email accounts to my mac Mail
    Then the account started acting weird a few days ago—not letting me email myself (to a gmail account), refusing to put the email in the address field.
    Thats the email associated with my computer, User ID.
    Then it would no longer let me add new accounts in the preferences.
    I would click the '+' sign, to add a new account, or choose it from the file options... Nothing. Nothing would happen.
    It would let me delete accounts, but not add new ones.
    I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem. I dragged the mail files out and trashed them, upgraded from snow leopard to lion and tried to reinstall the Mail package software — same problem. Finally, I deleted the user account on my Macbook Air — still the same problem with new Users.
    When the Mail application opens, and guides me through the introduction, I can add one email address ONLY, then nothing else.
    What gives?
    Can anyone offer advice?
    I have a Macbook Air and Lion, 10.7.

    Does anyone have similar experiences?

  • Cannot recieve mail to my new account

    So I went to the support page and went through all the trouble shooting, but I still cannot recieve mail to the new account I have set up. I can send mail, but I am not able to recieve any. I have tried virtually everything. I went to mailbox, clicked "go online" that turns the inbox from grey to black, but as soon as I hit the "get mail" button it makes a ching noise and goes back to being grey. Please help.

    I am wondering if your problem started on 10/23, as mine did. I can not receive or send email. What I am actually wondering about is whether Apple might have something in the code so that after a certain number of updates, the program breaks, and we all are forced to upgrade. It would be lousy enough if that is what's happening, but the loss of 40 hours of labor and the stress of trying to repair it would really suck!! And then my ISP causing me to lose 40 important pieces of email...
    It just seems strange thast so many people on so many trouble shooting sites are having the same kind of problems with mail on 10.3.9 all of the sudden.

    whenever i try to get into mail ,contacts set up , the window closes automatically and instantly. the same applies for contacts, whenever i would click on it it does not open the appication bu get back to general menu
    thanks for your help and tip to get out of this mess;
    by the way i managed at first to set up an email pop in so receive email into "MAIL" but not able to send out and therefore would really need to access mail setting up 

    I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

  • Mail wont let me add new account?

    Hi
    I have set up in my Mac Book an Exchange IMAP account which works without any issues, I am wanting to add another account but mail just beach balls.
    The account that I am wanting to add is running on another Mac at my work.
    OS 10.6.4
    Mail 4.3 (1081)
    Mac Book Pro 15"
    1) Click on "add mail account button"
    2) Window appears add full name (exactly as on other mac)
    3) Enter e-mail address (exactly as on other mac)
    4) Enter password (exactly as on other mac)
    5) click continue
    this is the point where mail beach balls searching for mail servers………….
    their is no response, If cancel the process mail becomes unresponsive and
    a force quit is required.
    i have turned of my firewall, repaired permissions, run YASU, no change.
    any ideas why this could be happening?, any suggestions on how to remedy.

  • Mail: Cannot set up new account

    Mail (Version 3.1 (914/915) crashed whilst sending a large attachment. On re-launch I was unable to connect to one of my servers. My .Mac account still worked as normal. I tested the server and settings by setting up the account in Entourage (not normally used) and that works OK. I deleted the account in Mail and dumped the mail preferences file. Trying to set up the account again Mail fails at "Checking connection to mail server...". Creating the connection by adding to the server list and checking in Connection Doctor shows a successful connection.
    Any ideas please?

    I resolved the problem. I checked earlier the package contents in time machine when I returned to mail it worked! Bit of a mystery really.

  • TS1702 Lilliput mail box app. Can't get it to work. Ipad2. Uninstalled reinstalled set up addresses and never get past the set up new account screen

    Trying to use mail bob
    X manager for google mail that I bought. Multi box management promised.i downloaded it and set up 3 accounts. Now when I open it I can ONLY get to the add account screen. Am I missing a step?

    If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
    This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.

  • I can't get mail to add any accounts.

    Hello
    I have used many Apple computers in the past. I have recently decided to utilize my iMac more, and have been trying to add my accounts into Apple. I am adding in from Gmail, Yahoo, and Google Apps. I have done this before on a MacBook with an older version of Mail and it has been totally fine. I have also gotten my emails synced up on my iPhone and iPad with no issues.
    When I try and add in the accounts, I make sure all of the steps are followed to a T. I've tried POP, IMAP, and still the accounts won't go online. Many times it says there is an smtp error.
    Has anyone else dealt with this? Is it an issue with Apple 7.3 or am I missing something totally obvious?
    I have used the default methods to set up as well as using the "add other account" option and entering it manually.
    I'm at a loss. Any help would be awesome.
    iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

    If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it instead of the login password you use on the website. You must change the password for both the incoming and the outgoing mail server. The same goes for Yahoo.

  • Setting up new account works in Outlook, but not in Mail

    I set up a new account in Mail just like I have done in the past, but it refuses to find the test mail I sent it. I can see the test mail by checking it through my ISPs web mail program, and I can see the mail even by setting up an account on Windows in Outlook Express, but Mail can't find it.
    I set up the new account EXACTLY as I had set up accounts in the past, obviously with different names and passwords, but no result.
    You can see a screenshot of my Accounts summary at http://www.wordpix.ca/mailscreenshot.jpg
    Thanks

    Stu,
    I am not sure you want to leave that screenshot up for long, but hopefully we can resolve, soon.
    Are you certain that the full email address is needed as the Username entry, or might only using the true Username portion of the address, i.e. "cindy"? Mail is very rigorous about the form of the Username, and does extract it from the email address, as some mail clients may do.

  • Can't add new account in Mail

    I am attempting to add a new account in Mail (specifically a POP, I am using an IMAP with .live) and it won't let me add anything new.  It says: The account “Linda.Live” already has this host name and user name.  Any way to get around this?  I've tried using a different name and it still says the same thing.

    Hi Linc,
    Yes, I do.  How do I set up an new POP account in MAIL so I can transfer all my emails to gmail using their Mail Fetcher?  They only allow this with a POP account. 
    I currently have a .live account through Mbox.mail, which is totally useless for syncing my mai between MAIL and mobile devices, since I have not have a hotmail/msn account.

  • Can't add new account in mail Preferences

    When I attempt to add a new account in Mail preferences the + sign does not function. Another strange symptom is that MAILl will not quit, and I must force quit from the Apple menu. AND, the account that does appear in the account window appears in broken type and although the information is correct, no In, out junk or drafts appear. Obviously there is major corruption. I've fixed the permissions and done the obvious things. It sounds like my program may be corrupt. What caused this, is that I had to reinstall Tiger on another drive in my G5 when my original version lost its users and I couldn't boot up. Mail still works fine on my newer Intel MAC. I know it has a different version of MAIL but is there a way to use its settings and/or caches,prefs and data? Unfortunately my copy of Tiger is on multiple CD's and I don't get the option of what to install..it's all or nothing.
    thanks for your help.

    I tried your routine twice, but unfortunately the same situation. Interestingly, there was no no Mail in the Cache folder. What did happen, after the first Safe Boot is that MobileMe sync sent me a message that it wanted to change a couple of Mail accounts which I allowed(I have a MobileMe account and my wife has a mail only account). When I looked in the Mail preferences both accounts had the cracked type although the account info was correct. When I restarted both accounts were missing and a different titled (but with correct info) appeared. Any other ideas? Would installing Leopard help, do you think?
    Thanks so much for your help and speedy reply. As it's 3:30 I'm going to continue this tomorrow.
