HT4061 I cannot add my email account...for 2 days it keeps saying, yahoo server unavailable...but I have it on my computer!!

I cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone. I have been trying for 2 days and it keeps saying Yahoo server is unavailable...I can access my email on my computer, and was also able to add another email account to my iphone, but not the yahoo account.

I checked the settings as per your link above and I have them set up correctly on my ipad (I have yahoo plus). That is to say I have added the plus.stmp.mail.yahoo.com as an outgoing server with the server port 465 but it still doesn't work.
Annoyingly, I also took the advice of some earlier posts and changed my yahoo password and now I can't get email on my iphone 4 either - it was working perfectly before. I put in the new password and now both the ipad and iphone give me the "server unavailable" message. Grrrrrr....

How do I add an email account for my kids

I am trying to add additional email accounts for my kids. How do I go about creating one?

Log in with your primary account, then navigate to the Account Profile page. At the bottom, there's a section called Sub-accounts. You should have a button there for adding a new sub account.

5.0 update cannot add another email account from same server

Updated my 3Gs iPhone to the 5.0. Unable to add a second email account. Receive message "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "mobile.charter.net" is incorrect. I did not have trouble having two email accounts before the update. Can anyone assist me?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a standard pop mail account provided by UK ISP Virgin Media. I can setup my hotmail account on it with no problems.
I have had a play around with the settings (I am an IT Engineer) and once the hotmail account is set up, I can then edit the account settings and change them for the virgin media settings with no errors or hanging. However, when checking for email, it never downloads any.
I have this account set up on other devices / phones and setting the messages to be left on the server on all the devices and the account behaves correctly on these devices. I know there is email on the server and have sent test email to that account.
If I delete all the mail accounts, and try to recreate the virgin media pop account, then the inital problem occurs.

Cannot setup new Email Account.

Hello all, I am new to this forum, so forgive me if I am in the wrong area and feel free to point me in the right direction.
I tried sending a message to [email protected] but of course - in the bit bucket it goes. Don't know why they post this email address on their site if they have no intention of HELPing...
So here is the story:
I am a consultant and have a client that has a BB Curve. He has been using a certain provider inet for his email. He has now changed to a different provider (for technical reasons). I have tried to setup his new email account for the new provider – I also use a BB curves and have performed this operation for over 50 of my clients. However in this scenario, the Curve keeps asking for his account id and password. We have tried to enter it and it says that the Username cannot be blank. If we exit and re-enter the setup tool, and then enter the same info again, it says that the username and/or password is incorrect. His credentials have never - ever changed.
We cannot get his password (or acct info) sent to him by BB (RIM), because he no longer has the email address of record. Of course I tried entering a different email address to send it to, but of course it doesn't get to his phone as there is no eamil address setup (except his old one). The provider here in town (TELUS) has been quite useless in helping and have been quite specific that we need to talk to RIM, well of course this seems to be the only avenue available.
Can someone direct us to the appropriate area or resource in order to proceed with setting up his new email account.
Please feel free to reply to me directly at [email protected]
Thanks everyone.

You're welcome...

2) When we do this, we do not get them email account setup screen, instead we get the login to email settings screen,
3) When we enter this user's email address and password, the device says it is incorrect (or the username field cannot be blank). It depends on the mood of the device as to which message we receive.
The user has a "BIS Account' login username and password. This username is NOT an email address, (but it could be the first part of his email address... it's whatever was created -- does that make sense?). If his email address is [email protected], his username could be anything else, like "RobertSmith50". There's no relation.
Telus is being absurd. They can give the customer his username and reset the password.
Or, they can simply delete the previous BIS account, and add it back to his plan and then he can set it up fresh with the username and password he (or you) will now remember.
Anyway, I'd try one more time with them, and this time, perhaps using the correct terminology might peg their memory. Tell them you want to reset the the BIS data account -- either reset or delete and re-add. ONLY they can do this, RIM can't.
This dude IS Telus' customer, not RIM's. He pays Telus his monthly fees. You really need to ask for a manager or supervisor, and I'm sorry for all the bouncing back and forth... but you just gotta find a sober Telus rep.

HT201320 unable to open Email account or even set one up. Used many passwords that I have and nothing is accepted. I have an account through g mail, but will not open with passwords.

Cannot set up Email account I once had and lost. Will not accept password(s) have account through gmail, but cannot use.

It may be worth going directly to the gmail site: www.gmail.com can you login using what you believe to be your credentials? If not then it's likely to be an issue with the info you are using. Also if you haven't used the account for a while it may have gone in to a suspended state, and logging back in will reactivate it. If you do manage to login ok, then try setting up the account on iPad again.

TS3899 Help! I cannot access my settings and facebook settings within 'Settings'. This means I cannot change passwords, delete or add email accounts. I've tried updating and restoring my phone but to no avail. Can anyone help me please?

Can anyone help please? I cannot access my email account settings within 'Settings', so I cannot change my details for existing email accounts, nor can I delete them or add others.
I can't access my Facebook settings within 'Settings' either but when I try to use the app it asks me to enter my password into my Facebook account in settings, but I can't do that either.
I've updated my software, restored and backed up my phone but it still doesn't work. Troubleshooting doesn't cover this.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Do you have restrictions on? If so, that would prevent you from making changes in some areas of the iPhone.

How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account? I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use. I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother. Is this correct? Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her? I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

HT1918 cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

What happens when you try to change it ? You should be able to change by logging into your account on this page : http://appleid.apple.com
Or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
You might then need to log out of your account on any devices (iPad, iPhone, IPod Touch) that you have and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
