I didn't set up my outlook on my ipad mail app; how did it know/input my e-mail account?

I didn't set up my outlook e-mail account on my ipad mail app; how did it know/input my e-mail account?
I went to my mail app today, with the intention of setting it up with my e-mail account for the first time. All of the e-mail associated with my outlook account was already there. There does not appear to be a sign in or out for the app and I never set it up. No one that uses my Ipad set it up. My Itunes account, etc. is associated with that e-mail, but how did the information get synced there?

Follow up: Is it somehow associated with my wireless network at home? Am I only able to access the e-mail account on my mail app while I am sharing the server that my outlook account is associated with?

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app?

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app? I can set two alerts per event on the iPhone version, but the iPad version doesn't show the option that pops up after entering a first alert on the iPhone.

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to follow

When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to time to follow up with that email ?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Has anyone had trouble running outlook after transferring information from outlook for PC and if so how did you fix?

Having trouble migrating from outlook 07 on a PC to outlook 11 on a Mac, the .pst file transfers but is not recognized (for lack of a better word) as an outlook back up on the Mac.

Thanks SO much! I was afraid that it might think this old laptop could use it and install something that would kill it. But it found exactly what I needed and it's up and running. As for adobe, it looks like I've gone as far as I can with it since I have a powerpc, but I can live with that. Many thanks and I appreciate you not making fun of an aging Apple junkie. *S*

A voice breaks into all my songs announcing the name and the play list. I have no apps on the device. Is this a setting? Or do I have a virus/app installed I dont know about?

A voice breaks into all songs played on my jpod announcing the song and playlist. Is this a setting I cant find? Very frustrating.

The same thing happens to me

Setting up Mail.app to work with OS X Server's Mail Server

Thanks to some help from the Apple support discussions, I got WebMail working on my OS X Server machine in the office. But I can't seem to figure out the settings for Mail.app clients on the same network (and outside the network for that matter).
The Mail Server settings:

The server is locally on 192.168.0.2
Any help would be appreciated.

See comment 8, its a tab in the server response that's causing the failure.

Optimum server for mail apparently played havoc with my iMac mail app, kicking my Opt mail offline . Three hours on phone with both. Appears to be Optimum service issue. Had to restore all my mail preferences in Apple app to set that right. Working today

Last night, my Mac Mail app showed Optimum and gmail as offline and first I couldn't send any mail, then stopped receiving. Could sign in at Optimum server, but then that stopped responding. Was on the phone 4 hours, twice with Apple, twice with Optimum. Optimum maintained it was an Apple problem, but had me change my setup for mail in Mail App preferences on my Mac. Got it working and few mintues later out again. I called Apple again. We reset the preferences in mail app and agreed it was the Optimum Server causing problems.
This morning, I couldn't sign in to optimum webmail. Just testing it out, yet I could send mail from my mail apps, mobile and Mac. I didn't get mail that was sent to me last night but seems now it is working again and my preferences in Apple app, are as Apple set or reset them to work with Optimum.
Anyone else have this problem.

Oh yes. Optimum ended by saying. Apple will have to create an App update to Mail to have things work right between them. I don't think so. Optimum's server wouldn't let me sign in this morning at all...even though I mostly use app not the server. Kept redirecting me to Sign-in page . Then an hour later, I could sign in with no problems.
Just be careful about having Optimum change too much over the phone in your Apple mail app preferences. I know Apple and I made a few with ports..and password dropdown. Optimum told me to set it to NONE for password, and that worked for a few minutes, then stopped. This is n Optimum issue , IMHO.
I trust Apple Express support more than I trust Optimum support. The second person I spoke to at Optimum said these complaints about Macs and Optimum and Mac mail app have just been coming in this week. They are aware of it, but I see this isn't the first time this has happened.
Also, since Optimum is still a POP3 server, my e-mails that I delete keep coming back for a few days, on my mobile devices.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

How can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

HOw can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

I Don't know if you can or not.
but you could try one if these 2 things:
-under a new contact in name type the names of the people. Next, I'm not sure if this will work, but for phone just put a different hone down.
-Also tou could just make a group message. In messages just type all the names in the to field after you tap compose.

Switching from Windows Mail to either Mac Mail.app or Mac Outlook (help!)

Hello,
My wife has been using Windows since forever but I'll be getting her a new Mac next week. I've been using Macs since the Mac Plus so I'm comfortable with her making the switch. The one main question I have is about her email.
I registered a domain for her a number of years ago (she uses POP3) and she uses that domain for her email. She currently uses the basic Windows Mail application (not Outlook). She has a large number of emails filed away into a ton of nested folders in Windows Mail.
I'm debating if I should have her use the Mac's Mail app or if I should but Outlook for Mac for her (part of the Mac Office suite). A few questions:
If I have her use the Mac's Mail app, is there a way for me to export all of her contacts and emails from Windows Mail (including the way all of her emails are organized into folders) and then import those into the Mac's Mail app? (and Contacts)
Does the Mac's Mail app support a lot of folders, nested multiple levels deep? The last time I checked (a number of years ago) it seemed like nested folders to organize downloaded emails was an afterthought at that time.
Any idea how I would go about exporting saved emails and contacts from Windows Mail and import them into either Mac Mail or Mac Outlook?
Thanks!

Mail allows for nested folders and complex rules for automatically filing items into these folders as they're downloaded to your local computer.
Any switch in technology can be a little daunting and annoying at times, before you try transferring a lot of sensitive information let her use Mail.app for a week or so and get to know her way around and feel comfortable with the features, then make a decision on how to import old information.
Outlook for mac is a large complex and expensive piece of software, there are other mail options available in the App store if Mail doesn't cut it.
If she wants to try the new program and you don't want to disrupt your POP3 settings on that domain, try a google account.
I'm not sure how Outlook is made available, but there are many Windows emulation programs if she cannot leave some programs behind.

I am setting up up my new ipad 2. On the email icon I set up my work address thru Microsoft Exchange once I did that it did does noy give me an opportunity to see the other mail venues such as AOL or Gmail it automatically opens to my work address.

I am setting up my new ipad 2. On the mail icon I set up my work address thru Microsoft Exchange once I did that the mail icon automatically goes to my work address and it does not give me the choice of the mail icon again how do I get that back?

If you mean when you are reading email in the mail app.....
Tap on the word "Mailboxes" in the upper left corner of the mail app - next to the name of your Exchange email account. That will take you back to the list of all of the Mailboxes on your iPad.
The mail app will always go back to where you were when you left the app. So if you were reading mail in your Exchange account and then you leave the app (without quitting the app) it will take you back to that email that you were reading when you come back.

Help a newb with setting up Mail.app

Im trying to set up my Mail app with my email account hosted with my shared hosting service.
Ive used mail.app before...but i seem to be running into some issues.
Ive used mail.app with .mac and mobileme email addresses and they functioned properly,my issue is that using the [email protected] doesnt seem to work so smoothly.
For example when i send a message in Mail.app it stores it only in the Mail folder in Mail but in a new folder in webmail called Sent Messages.
I use IMAP for Mail.app and with my iPod Touch (which uses the same EMAIL Address).
When i send messages using the ipod touch i dont get the excess mailboxes and the sent messages/deleted messages etc get routed to the properly mailbox in the ipod touch and Webmail.
These are the extra mailboxes i get when using Mail.app
They show up in both Mail.app and my Webmail.
SOO my question is; How do i properly set it up so i only have these mailboxes:
INBOX
SENT
DRAFTS
TRASH
and that they all tie to gether?
for example; send a message in Mail.app it goes into the Sent folder on both Mail.app and Webmail instead of a bogus Sent Mail folder automatically created.
Any advice please????

From Apple's web page on Exchange with Snow Leopard:
Infrastructure requirements
• Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1.
• Exchange Web Services (EWS) must be enabled. EWS is on by default in Exchange 2007.
• Exchange AutoDiscover must be turned on for automatic setup.
• Snow Leopard uses SSL over port 443 to connect to EWS.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Does anyone know how to locate an iPhone 4s which hasn't been setup for iCloud? I have the Number of the phone,but it belongs to a family member who didn't set it up.Is there a way of negating this?

Help me! Please
Just been on holiday and one of our party lost his iPhone 4s.He didn't set it up on iCloud.He has it set to vibrate and it goes straight into voice mail. Does anyone know if there is a way of locating it without iCloud/MobileMe?
We do know his number which is a bonus I suppose
Cheers for any help
Boz1070

Sorry, unless Find My Phone was turned on & activated on that phone, there is no way to locate it other than physically looking for it.
