I cannot downlaod email the server is wrong. how do i change incoming serve

how do i change the incoming server from a imap to pop

Also, if you are talking about when you first set it up, there is a brief time during your set up of a new mail account when there is going to be a check if your account is valid (it's right after you put in your Name, Email Address), it seems like it is setting it up for you, but it is not. By default it will show the IMAP button settings, but all you need to do is hit the POP button right next to the IMAP button and then continue on with your settings, both pop and smtp account settings...pop server address...etc. It can look like the iPhone is trying to actually set things up for you but it's not. Hope this helps.

  • Norton Internet Security cannot scan emails the use SSL. How do I insure that I do not get a virus or malware by opening an email in Thunderbird?

    Norton Internet Security cannot scan emails the use SSL. How do I insure that I do not get a virus or malware by opening an email in Thunderbird? I have read that you don't have to click on a link to get malware but that some email can trigger malware just by opening and reading. Any suggestions to keep my emails from triggering malware? AOL Desktop software has it's own built-in email scanner but I'm trying to get away from using their software and rely just on TB.
    Thanks

    There are many aspects to this question.
    First, using SSL or TLS to send and receive email is important because it prevents others from sniffing your email login. Particularly if you are using a device over wi-fi or on untrusted networks, this is critical because if others obtain your email login, bad things can happen.
    Of course, using SSL or TLS with your mail server also protects the content of your email from being captured by others, so that's good too.
    Second, you are correct that there can be security threats in email other than the attachments, although the attachments generally are the most dangerous. Your antivirus should protect you from bad attachments because in order to open them, they need to be written to disk in a temporary folder, and your AV software leaps into action whenever a new file is added to disk. You also can hedge your bets by using a two-step approach: first save the attachment to disk and only after it survives the real-time AV scan then launch it in the appropriate application.
    Sometimes content in the message body can trigger a vulnerability in your email software or a plugin. As these vulnerabilities become known, Mozilla updates its software, but there seem to always be new issues discovered and there will never be perfect security. I'm not sure how helpful email scanning is for this problem.

    please help! how do i change the email address the reminders to my security questions are going to! ive noticed its mis-spelt and i cant make purchases in itunes

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation.  When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

  • I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

    I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. 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.

  • I have the wrong email address in ICloud. How can I change to the correct email address?

    I have the wrong email address in ICloud. How can I change to the correct email address?

    I have the same problem. I changed my email address with itunes, & the icloud website knows it too. but the icloud on my iphone still has the old one & wont allow me to change it. I can change the password but the email address is grayed out so I can't change it. I have tried signing out via the store on my phone & back in but it made no difference. Help!! I keep getting error messages about the photo stream ..but I don't know what I can do to correct it. HELP!!!

  • After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

    After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?  There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id.  How do I switch it to a newer id?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

    You must update the apps with the Apple ID that they are purchased with.
    The only way to get round this is to re-purchase the app with the new Apple ID.

  • HT4528 I had to recently change my email address.  When I go to download an app the email is still the old one.  How can I change it on the phone.

    I had to recently change my email address.  Everything is fine except for when I want to download an app, my old email still shows up.  How can I change and/or update the new itune email address on my phone?

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. You can't transfer apps downloaded with one account to another account or merge accounts.

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thank you.

    Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thanks in advance.

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer
