HT5361 What is the incoming mail server when setting up a apple email address?

When setting up a new email account the field for the incoming mail server is greyed out.  How do I add the info?

It should load that automatically. It varies.
It will be some variant of imap.mail.me.com. That may get it to look up the correct one.

  • What is the incoming mail server for icloud?

    All of a sudden I can not receive my icloud mail on my iMac.
    I get it on my iPhone & my iPad.
    I need to know what the incoming mail server setting should be.
    Can any one help?
    Thanks,

    On the Mac, open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have.
    If it's 10.6, modify your iCloud account in Mail manually and use "imap.mail.me.com", without quotes, as your incoming mail server.
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8, close Mail, open System Preferences > iCloud, and unmark Mail. Then, mark Mail and open Mail

  • HT201320 what is the incoming mail server host name and user names

    Hi there,
    I am trying to add my school email account to my phone and I am able to fill in the
    Name
    Email
    and Description
    but am not sure what I am supposed to fill out in the Incoming Mail Server spots:
    Host Name
    User Name
    and the password is already filled in?
    and Im not sure what the Outgoing Mail Server is either.

    You'll have to ask someone at your school what the incoming server settings are for their email.  These differ for every email provider/account.

  • HT201320 What am i supposed to put as the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server when setting up my email?

    I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks

    Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

    A small correction to my own post above: Yahoo does offer free IMAP access to Nokia users. The server details are:
    Incoming IMAP server: nokia-free.imap.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.
    Outgoing SMTP server: nokia-free.smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.

    When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

  • What do i put in the Incoming Mail Server...?

    I have Road Runner and I dont know what to put in the Incoming Mail Server box...any ideas...?

    Contact RoadRunner or check it's help web site for the server addresses. There should be a POP server and an SMTP server for POP mail. For IMAP mail (I don't know if they support this format) there will be an incoming mail and outgoing mail server (the outgoing mail server is usually the same as the SMTP server.)

  • TS4002 In my SMTP server settings, the incoming mail server window is dim and inactive, is this why I'm not receiving mail? What can I do to fix?

    Can't receive any mail, I've been using this email address for years. Did a shut down and restart. Went into mail preferences and noticed that the incoming mail server window is dim and inactive. What's going on??

    Thanks I think that's the solution.  But I've always thought it should just come as an SMS

  • ICloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in my account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but it won't allow me to enter anything.

    iCloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in mail account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but I can't enter anything into that field.

    No, didn't have to sign out. As I started to, got a messge saying something about losing all my calendar information, which unnerved me so I didn't sign out. It was correcting the password in another email account that corrected the situation for me.

  • Why do I get Invalid Incoming Mail Server when changing mail preferences?

    I unclicked the "show notes in inbox" option and when I tried to save the changes I received a pop up box with the following message: Invalid Incoming Mail Server - The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.
    I don't know what this means...

    Hmmm, is this an iCloud account or other account?

  • HT4864 the incoming mail server field is blank and will not let me type in the information. I can type in other fields but this blank field will not allow it.

    In account information the incoming mail server field is blank but when I try to type it in it does not allow me to.
    Whats do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You do not need to start adding manual information into your iCloud account settings. If you feel the settings are incorrect for any reason, you should delete your account and add it back and let it set itself up.

  • The incoming mail server box on my iMac is blank so unable to get mail and UNABLE to trype the mail server into the box it refuses to accept anything in itplease help

    Im having lots of bother with my Mac Mail I cant recieve or send it . On checking I noticed the incoming mail server box in my Account is blank and it refuses to let me type anything in it so stays blank .  what can i do? help please.

    Could I ask you to amend your signature - you can see why it's a good idea.
    The first step for you would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in again, enabling Mail and any other data types in the checklist there. This should set up Mail automatically for you - you shouldn't need to enter any settings yourself.
    Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.
