i cant receive messages but i can able to sent, and it keeps on asking me a password
and i don't know which password must i put. and if i put any password it says password
Login to server mail.tshelete.co.za failed.It would be your email providers server asking for your email password. Work with your provider if you do not know your password.

Changed to samsung and cant receive messages from imessage
Hi there i have recently changed my iphone4s to a samsung s5 and i cant get messages from anyone with an iphone. I have turned imessage off on my old device ive changed my password user name etc what else can i do?
You can call applecare to check and make sure your number has been removed from the system. If it is removed and it has been more than 24 hours you would need to have people that you text with an iPhone go to settings>messages and make sure send as SMS is on.

what should i do?
Hello Jmm02012,
It sounds like you are not receiving messages from other iPhones after switching to an Andriod device. I found an article with the steps you will need to take to straighten this out:
Symptoms
This article will provide assistance if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:
You are unable to receive SMS on your non-Apple device when sent from another person using an iPhone.
You are unable to send SMS to a non-Apple device because they are sent as an iMessage.
Resolution
If you are experiencing one of the symptoms above, the cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:
Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.
If you don't have access to your old iPhone, you will need to reach out to Apple support for additional assistance.
You can find the full article here:

Switched from iphone to andriod, cant receive messages from wifes iphone
So last week I bit the bullet after 5 years and switched from my iphone to an android device. My wife is sending me messages from her iphone and its still trying to submit it via imessage, and not via SMS.
I have removed my iphone from my icloud account and actually sold the phone on so its no longer accessible by myself. My wife has now disabled imessages on her phone and SMS's are now coming through, but she has other family members and friends that use imessage and she wants to continue using it.
Surely its possible for me to take my number to another OS without losing the abilty to recieve SMS from iphone users??http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185

From craigslist cant receive message forwarding emails
Hi if i am on craigslist and want to send an email to my husband regarding something i found that he may be interested in (email a friend ) i will enter my and his info but he will never receive the email i sent him???!!!! Why is this happening? Please advise!
I just tested this from one of my emails to another and it worked fine.
I suggest that you log into your account at your providers web mail page and see if the message is going to the Spam folder.
Otherwise contact Craigslist and see why it does not work for you. Thunderbird has no interaction with this send process and can only download messages that actually arrive in your Inbox. If the message does not arrive in your Inbox then Thunderbird cannot download it. -
How do I changed the background color of a received message?

Try the following.
With the message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative. -

Hi nathanabc,
If you are having issues deactivating iMessage, you may find the "Unlink a phone number" portion of the following article helpful:

Changed from Iphone to Xperia Z1 and cant receive texts from iphone users
i recently changed from Iphone to Z1 but can not receive text messages from a lot of iphone users ( i can from some which i strange). i have turned off the Imessage setting on the old Iphone and let it sit for 30mins for apple servers to identify this. i have also done a software repair via PC Companion but still doesnt work.
any suggestions?The thing is that your friends still using iPhone must remove you from iMessage. Otherwise you might end up with this problem.
