  • Not all iPad email account calendars appear as an option in calendar

    Hi All
    Just got my iPad2 and am setting it up.  I have set up 4 email accounts to appear on the iPad and have selected "On" for all four to have calendars appear.  However, only 2/4 accounts appear as options on the iPad's calendar app?
    Thanks!

    Exchange is Microsoft's closed/proprietary version for an IMAP account.
    Accessing the account as an Exchange account provides for Push access with received messages, and over the air syncing for Google contacts and calendar events.
    You can get instructions for doing so via Gmail's website.

  • TS4002 This is what i'm getting: This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?

    I can't get new mail. This is what i'm getting: This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?

    10.8.4, created a new account to basicall get the MS Exchange email working because the old email under the other account is again SNAFU.
    Same Stuff, Different Day.  A perinal Apple defect as it never has worked right.  The irony is that an open source clunky Java solution called DAVMail is more stable and reliable than the professional Mail app for providing MS Exchange compatibility.  The lesson learned is that Apple's MS Exchange Mail.app compatiblity stinks on ice. 
    Google DAVMail.  You have to load Java :-( but it works better than Apple's native implementation.

  • Cannot setup email account always asking for password

    Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account.  I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone.  Had  the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail.  I don't know what else is missing from the setup. 
    When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • ICloud Keychain problems email account still appearing

    I have a problem with iCloud Keychain as an old email account keeps reappearing despite me removing it from all my macs and iPhone devices.  This email account is no more seeing that my old ISP closed down their email servers for good. Plus I changed my ISP but still it keeps reappearing.
    Any ideas on how to get rid of this rogue old email account?
    This always happens when I reinstall mavericks
    It's ruddy annoying!!!
    Thanks.

    Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

  • TS3276 Email account always offline???

    My email account information always show my account as offline. I receive most messages but must always specify my account manually to gp online. what need I do? Only happens on my Macbook. On my imac the same account functions fine.

    I'm having the same issue. It started a couple weeks ago when I changed the password of one of my iMap accounts. I've repaired permissions, deleted the keychain password items associated with the problem account and even deleted com.apple.mail.plist located in my home directory->library->preferences. None of these actions has solved the problem. I've searched the rest of the Internet but haven't found any suggestions for actions other than those already tried. This particular email account works fine with another client on my Android phone and via webmail so having an incorrect password isn't the problem.
    Do you know of any files containing cached information that can be safely trashed?
    As I type this it occurs to me that I didn't empty my trash after deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. I'll try that now.

  • Email account restriction appearing suddenly...after 1month with several email accounts!

    Hello,
    since I dropped and broke my i****e device beg of September, I restarted by old school BBerry 8900. And to be honest, found a lot of conveniency with it until this morning! For some reason I don't understand, I activated 2 email accounts on my 8900 without any issue. But this morning I did received a BB message stating that I was only allowed to one account!! I did called my mobile provider (VIRGIN - france) and they assure me that there is no restriction on their side. WHO can explain me why I could run 2 email accounts for a months and suddenly without modifying anything on the 8900 I am limited to 1(one) email account.
    I really hope there is a small issue here, with an easy fix. Because I was considering moving to Bold 9900 or Q10 and not having my Iphone glass be repared. But IF this has to do with restriction and more to pay with mobile provider, the solution is going to be EASY : back to iphone or wiko (android). Indeed I have already tested this morning on both devise (iphone and wiko from my kids) that with my SIM card, I have access to all my email accounts. And to be honest I made the test with the 2 regular one email account but also tried to add 3 additional ones... works really fine and noone is asking for restriction.
    Thanks for your help... if not, at least an honest feedback about the fact that RIM is restricting access to make more money...or not? just asking
    Regards,
    Soulslide

    Any feedback?
    Just chekced my mobile provider faq for BBerry : statement is up to 10 email accounts! I do not understand what's going wrong. Still blocked with one and only one email account on BBerry 8900

  • I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose.  My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline?  How can I get that working again?

    I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years.  My phone works perfectly for both accounts.  Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline?  How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email.  I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

  • Why did a Mobile Me email account randomly appear on my iPhone, alongside my iCloud email account?

    And furthermore, why does it always have a phantom unread email? I can't make it go away.

    This can be done from the iPhone... Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account.
    Note that MobileMe is to be discontinued this summer and replaced by iCloud, so she may want to set up an iCloud mail account, which still has an @me.com address.

  • How do I sync 3 email accounts with iPhone

    I have 3 email accounts all currently appearing on iMac (using entourage). I tried mobileme and couldn't seem to get all 3 to work. Had a chat with apple support and they say I can't use mobileme for more than 1 email address.
    What is the best was to set up my iPhone to get the 3 email accounts to appear?
    Thanks

  • Mail 5.3.  Forces an email account to be off-line, refuses to download msgs.

    I have 3 email accounts, a personal one, a cloud, and a company one.  I open Mail.  Tell it to take all accounts online.  It does.  I click the icon to tell it to download email msgs.  It puts the little 'offline' symbol by the company account, and proceeds to download everything else.  I click on the offline symbol and it says, "Offline status:  This account (a2q_POP_account) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?"
    I say yes, go online.  It removes the offline icon indicator.  I tell it to download msgs again, and it switches the account back to offline.
    I have checked the account settings - incoming, outgoing servers, passwords, etc.  so far as I can tell, they are the same as on the laptop (release 6.6).
    My email server account provider (DSL?) passed it off to my internet provider.   My internet provider passed it off to Apple.
    Does any of this make sense?  How can I make my PowerMac's mail work?

    Mail reports the account offline when the Mail Server does not respond. This can be dues to bad password (which is why it tries to ask for a new password) Server too busy, wrong communication ports selected, encryption problems, and many other issues.
    For commercial email, the check for passwords etc can be accomplished by using a web Browser and navigating to the Mail Server directly, and entering your Username and Password to collect your Mail directly (this is referred to as "Web Mail" pickup).
    Often after several cycles of "enter a new password", the password stored on your Mac becomes damaged or gets deleted, and needs to be re-entered in:
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts
    Checking with your company representatives to verify Mail Server credentials such as: POP Vs. IMAP, what ports to be using, whether encryption is supported, and other parameters --  can be useful.
    It is also important to understand that Mail uses TWO Servers -- one for Sending and one for Receiving, and that they have possibly different ports and password.

  • How to set up an email account on one only one machine

    I need to be able to set up an email account on only one machine. I know I can disable the account on other machines, but that's not what I want. I don't want the email account to appear in the account list on my other machines, even if it is disabled. I don't want my other machines to know about the account at all.
    How do I set up my accounts so that the email account shows up on only one machine?

    Perhaps some pictures would help explain.
    If in Mail I right click the account I get this window.
    I want to remove the account "B" from this computer. I select it and click "-" and am taken to "Internet Accounts" in "Settings"
    There I see this.
    If I now click "-", I get the following choices.
    Now, I don't want "Remove From All", as I would like to keep the account on my other computer. So I click "Turn Off Account" which results in this
    The account is inactive, but is still in the list of accounts. I want to remove it from the list of accounts (without removing it from the other computer.)
    How do I do that?

  • Can I expand/collapse all of my email accounts in the folder pane?

    Greetings,
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I'm using T-bird v31.0
    The inbox is configured to view/layout/folder pane and view/folders/unified.
    I have multiple email accounts that appear in the folder pane.
    I can expand/collapse inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash, but not the email accounts.
    Is it possible to expand/collapse the email accounts?
    Thank you for you hard work and expertise.

    Do you have the removed account forwarded to your other account at the server?
    If the account is not still in Thunderbird there is no way for it to check mail on that account. Even if it did it would not place the messages in a different Inbox.
    Just to be sure when you go to Tools-Account Settings is the old account still in the list?
    Use Tools on the menu bar and not the AppMenu button.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.
