I can't connect my school email to my mail account

I have a school email, which is a type of gmail account, but it ends in "college.edu". when I try to connect this account to the mail on my computer, it doesn't recognize this account as a type of gmail and I can't get it to connect. If anyone else has some experience with this issue, I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Found this via Googling "Freeserve"
Freeserve/Wanadoo/Orange, whats it called now?
First of all I should point out that Freeserve has had a number of name changes first to wanadoo and more recently it was bought by Orange, the mobile phone operator, this does not change your email address or any other details. It just means the webpage you go to manage your account now has the Orange logo on it and I will refer to them by their new name "Orange" on this page.
Emails have stopped arriving, whats going on?
If you have a problem getting emails from the Orange email server, there are a few common things it could be
* your firewall or security software is preventing the connection
* Orange switched off the server name you used that worked previously, so you must adjust your settings
* your account has been temporarily deactivated. This can occur when Orange changes the terms and conditions of the pay as you go account or when they detect that you have not dialled into their account for sometime.

  • How can I set up an email where the mail account is totally different to the email address?

    The email account (and password related to it) is in the form "xxxxxx.ndonet.com." The email address is "xxxxxx.ndirect.co.uk." There don't seem to be many email clients that allow this and at present I am having to use Pegasus. I have tried manual configuration in Thunderbird but without success. Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to you both for your suggestions. It is very helpful.
    I have solved one problem but have one remaining. I can now send mails having configured TB with the ISP's pop3.hosts.co.uk and port 995. This is working fine. Sending is still a problem. As I am currently in France I cannot test smtp.hosts.co.uk (587) directly. I usually use smtp.orange.fr. Under Pegasus this is set using Server TCP/IP port = 25 and Timeout = 15 seconds, which works every time. When I try TB with either 25 or 587, I get an error "login to stmp.orange.fr failed" and a further message "for unknown reason" although sometimes it reports "authentication failed".
    I am a bit out of my depth here and would be grateful for further suggestions. Thanks.

    Hello,
    I'm sorry you're having trouble; unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand what's going wrong. Would you mind giving me more details about what you're trying to do and what the problem appears to be?
    Just in case you're using the desktop version of Acrobat and not Acrobat.com (which is the forum to which you posted your question), here's a link to their forum so you can repost your question there:

  • I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?

    I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?
    I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
    Actually in iPhone :
    Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
    Primary server > Not Configured > Off
    Thank you ...

    When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
    Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

  • I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    You can set them up with your Apple ID if you want to. You can also set them up with their dad's Apple ID. Depending on how old the boys are, you can even let then have their own Apple ID's. The one thing that you don't want to do is have them use more than one Apple ID on their iPads.
    If you want to be able to share purchased content, then setting them up with either your ID or your husband's (?) ID would be the way to go. If the boys share an ID with one of you, they can download content that you have already purchased without having to pay for it again.
    If you and have the financial wherewithal to allow them to purchase their own individual content, I would recommend letting them have their own Apple ID. This way, as they grow older and eventually move on, they will have their own accounts, their own purchases .... No ties needed to your ID or to dad's ID. FaceTime and Messages will be a little easier to set up if they have their own ID's and they can have their own iCloud accounts as well. However, they must be 13 years old in order to have an Apple ID and iTunes account. If they are under 13, then it's a no brainer you will have to use yours or their father's ID.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't switch from one ID to another ID on the iPads. That gets confusing and they could end up locking themselves out of one of the ID's for 90 days if they download a past purchase using a different ID.
