HT4519 setting up my pop mail on my IPad

i can receive mail but not send, for some reason it won't verify server identity for smtp. I have the exact same settings on my iphone and it works fine... Any ideas???

Double check and make sure that the outgoing mail server setting is coreect, 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.

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

How to preserve messages on ISP after setting up mac POP mail?

I recently (YESTERDAY) set up POP mail (mail 3.3) on my new macbook to collect mail from my yahoo account. AFTER downloading my yahoo inbox I noticed that one of the default advanced settings in mac mail was set to ''remove copy from server > after one week' from the ISP (yahoo).
As I certainly do not want this to happen I unchecked that option so that mac mail will not delete any messages it collects using POP and the contents of my yahoo inbox will remain unchanged.
But I'm worried that, even though I've unchecked the instruction to delete messages from server in 1 week, that somehow the instruction to delete will still be 'in the system' and that the contents of my yahoo inbox that my mac mail has already collected will somehow be 'tagged' for deletion in a week. Note that currently all my yahoo inbox messages are still in my yahoo inbox, but will they be safe in a week? Should I do something to safeguard against this like move those message out of my yahoo inbox and into a separate folder? Or ??
Any advice appreciated

The default behavior for accessing mail via POP is to transfer the messages to the client and delete them from the server, but some clients can disable the erasure. However, after doing this, some clients are unable to retrieve the unerased (but read) messages for the second time. I haven't tried with Mail to see if this works with Yahoo; I know for a fact that it doesn't with our corporate mail server.
Is there a possibility to use IMAP instead of POP? (Which is what I believe .Mac mail uses)

Here's how to set up Yahoo POP mail with instant "PUSH" functionality

Originally I used iTunes to sync and dump my POP mail settings into the iPhone during my first sync after activation.
DON'T do it this way and if you did delete that account from the iPhone and then go into the Mail settings on the iPhone and set up the mail settings under the "Add Account" feature. The top selection is Yahoo. It will simply ask you for the mail username and password. Once you complete this you will now have the greatly useful and most desired instan "PUSH" mail promised in conjunction with AT&T, Yahoo and Apple. A great thing.
All other POP mail settings are set to simply check your email every 15, 30, 45 etc minutes. This is no fun.
Once I reset the iPhone and set up the new account email is instant and you get the beloved "bing" alert as the come in.

I was able to get this to work and push email works with my Yahoo account. Unfortunately, the iPhone mail does not respect the 'reply-to' setting for yahoo mail.
When I send mail from Yahoo mail on the web, the reply-to address makes it look like the mail is coming from my standard business account.
But when I send mail from my iPhone, the "@yahoo.com" email address is all that shows up in the outgoing message!
I don't like this because I would prefer that all the email I send has the same reply-to address, so my recipients don't get confused.
Is there a workaround or fix for this?

When I set up my e-mail on the ipad, it gives me only the imap and not pop. How do I get the choice of imap or pop

Can someone help me set up my pop3 e-mail account on ipad? When I set it up as indicated, I should get both imap or pop, but I get only the imap. How do I change it to pop?

Instead of using the large preset account settings icons (Google, AOL, Yahoo, etc), use the "Other" option on the bottom. You'll have to enter more info manually, but, if offered by your service provider, you can choose between IMAP and POP by the settings you provide.

Stuck verifying pop mail server on iPad

Working with a co-worker, I have set up mail to connect to his pop account.. added all the server settings (pop3.live.com), set to use SSL, entered password, etc.
Now all it does is sit on "Verifying" and never seems to move past it. We have shut down the iPad, restarted it, re-entered the information and tried again. No luck.
All the settings are correct as copied from e-mail instructions from his e-mail provider. WIFI is connected and working.
Any ideas why i can't get past this stage ?

Thanks Bob for your reply.
I'm well aware that IMAP has syncing advantages. My question was strictly about storage but perhaps I wasn't clear.
Am I right in thinking that — either with IMAP or POP — I need not worry about excess storage of mail on an iPad because the iPad self-limits to, say, 100 pieces of mail or whatever you set the limit at?

IMAP vs POP mail storage on iPad

An advantage of IMAP is said to be that it doesn't take up an ever growing amount of local storage space. But I get the impression that POP behaves the much same way on the iPad, in that the IOS Mail app keeps only so many pieces of email locally. If so, am I right in thinking that deleting mail in either IMAP or POP makes no practical difference to the amount of storage used? I.e if you have Mail set to display, say, 100 pieces of mail, that's how much mail gets stored locally on the iPad using either POP or IMAP?

How do I set up a POP mail account

I am trying to set up a new email account as a POP account but my MacMail defaults to IMAP only
Help!!!

Paul I am also haveing problem with Mac mail and ATT.net account it has work good for over a year and now it keep kicking me say my pass word is rejected. I have been through this with att and have not been able to resolve it. I tired the POP it sill saying I have a problem.

I had no problem setting up my pop mail account for my primary email, but cannot set up a 2nd pop account for my secondary account. I'm using Ipad2. Can you help?

I cannot seem to set up a 2nd pop account on my Ipad2. No problems setting up the primary but the secondary keeps telling me that either username or password is incorrect. Both are correct. It's driving me crazy. Can someone help?
Thanks!

Maybe I'm not following completely, but you can configure email accounts manually, if you want. Just hold down the Option key when you click Continue on the first screen. You can then choose the type of account and set up the servers as you like.
This help page seems to think you can still use POP with Yahoo.

I cant access icloud setting, facetime or icould mail on my ipad after iso6 update

After updating my ipad, I no loner have my Icloud E-mail, facetime or Icloud settings. When I go to settings they are all grayed out. I try to choose them but nothing happenes.when I try facetime, it says my Ipad is not authorized to use facetime.

Well, cripes. My husband just saved the day for me. We had to force the iPad to take a POP account. Here's how we did that:
Create a new mail account on the iPad with a bogus email address and a different name from your problematic IMAP account. In my case, I doubled up on a number that is part of my email address. Thankfully, nobody else had that email address
When the iPad refused to add the account because it was a bogus email address and came up with the error message, THEN it let me choose the ability to add a POP account.
I was able to edit out the extra number from the bogus email address to my true email address. I had to do this in three places: the main account name, the inbox info and the outbox info, and take out the "IMAP.xxxxx " part and replace it with the "mail.xxxxxx" entry that goes with my POP account (that was listed in the settings on both of my other devices that were behaving: the iPhone and the MacPro).
Now you should have two accounts for the same email address (with two different names) showing on the iPad. Go back through mail settings and "DELETE ACCOUNT" for the IMAP version that was screwing everything up.
Inbox messages should now stay on your iPad because it is using the same type of account the other devices are.
Apple, why in the name of all things good and electronic would you make it a default to IMAP without an obvious way to choose to do a POP? Good grief I had a week of stress over this whole thing and nobody else seemed able to figure it out either.

Keep telling me I can't set up my e-mails on my iPad tried everything don't no what's the matter ?, Keep telling me I can't set up my e-mails on my iPad tried everything don't no what's the matter ?

For some reason it's not letting me set my e-mail account in to my iPad keeps coming up I've got the wrong setting or something similar don't know where I'm going wrong

Tried to check but there where asking for a deposit of £28 for me to get an answer as to the problem ? Again I don't no if I'm doing it correctly not very good at this technology
