I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

Is this happening when you try to receive mail, or send mail? When you create the account, does it verify? You should see a message that it is verifying, and if it does.

HT2954 unable to set up yahoo account in Mail

Why did my Mail (IMAP) suddenly quit when I upgraded my OSX recently? Support with my server, is clueless and says that Mac is not compatible with Yahoo, that I must use Yahoo. I do not like Yahoo! I want my Mail! Now, Yahoo is totally messing up...have two separate email addys, and one is still receiving mail, but will not load any of my sent, drafts, or spam folders. Had to stop using that one, and am now using my ONLY email address left out of three! I want my Mail back!! Can anyone help??

Hello, any messages or errors?
Is this how you did it?

Setting the standard account in Mail

I would like to set my standard account in Mail.
- I have two IMAP accounts.
- When I click Inbox, and thus view the joint inbox of the two, and click new mail, it automatically chooses an account to send from.
- In the same way, it chooses an account to send from whenever i'm not in the account specific inbox.
It does not choose the account I want -- and I cannot find out where to change it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
Select the account in the dropdown labeled "Send new mail from:"
It should currently say "Account of last viewed mailbox"

Setting up an account on Mail

I've bought a domain name and tried to set up an account on Mail. Mail won't recognise it and keeps asking for my password - which I've given - and keeps rejecting it. The domain name sellers say it's probably a Mail specific problem and suggested that I 'contact Mac'.
Any suggestions - or things I should be looking for - gratefully received.
Chris

I've checked the correct mail server settings and I've just sent them an e-mail to check the authentication method, but surely it can't be that if I can't even get on to the system?
As I say, when setting up the account, Mail goes through its checking procedure and my settings get past that.
I'm going away for a couple of days, so please don't feel offended if I don't reply quickly to any more suggestions - but I really appreciate your help!

Unable to set up gmail account

I have opened an email account with gmail on the Google website. I have tried to set this gmail account to open in my Mac mail, but it will not receive emails and is telling me that port 110 has timed out. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Hi, so you set it up as POP instead of IMAP?
If POP, is the 2nd method here how you did it?

Also...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:
11/9/14 1:23:38.770 PM com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts.remoteservice[3960]: Neither of UserNameIsEmailAddress or UserNameMatchesEmailAddress were set for [email protected], pretending that UserNameMatchesEmailAddress is set
11/9/14 1:25:17.190 PM com.apple.internetaccounts[3656]: MailIAPlugin: Tried to get settings for nonexistent account with uid 742A58F4-EC5A-45F3-B007-7DDF57EE6D67

(The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.) UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
- the accounts are google apps for business accounts
- imap is on
- 2 step verification is off
- upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
- running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
- trashing mail prefs nothing
- creating new user account on the macs...same issue
- i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

Set up Hotmail account in Mail

I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
Thanks for the help!

I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.

Set Up Cox account in Mail??

how do i set up a cox account in mail? I entered my email address and password, but what do i enter for the description and incoming mail server? cox is my provider.. so it would be (for example) [email protected]

If you go the the Cox Website, under support, there is a pretty good help site that has pictures. However, they are all for older versions of Mail. Regardless, it is mostly useful. I'd post a link, but they don't seem to have direct links to the pages you want. It's a mess of javascript. [Try starting here|http://support.cox.com//sdcxuser/asp/cox_Indetails.asp?parFolder=93a87dfa- 5346-48e4-b66b-2a37dfe0b77b] You'll get a menu bar with a blank page. From there select Learning Center, Email; wait for new page to load, then select Mail for Macintosh; new page; Finally, select How to: Add an Email Account in Mail Using Mac 10.5
Your incoming (pop) server is pop.east.cox.net and the outgoing (smtp) server is smtp.east.cox.net.
You can put anything you want in the description.

Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
Can anyone help?
Thanks....

Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.

I plugged my ipod into the computer to charge and then, this morning when I went to use it there is a password lock (that I never set up) that I have no idea what it is.

Unable to set up another account; network unavailable

When trying to access my email on my new iPad "Unable to add another account; network unavailable." Appears and I am unable to go on.

Hi.
Perhaps you should consult the manual.

Unable to set up BIS account and company emails

Hi,
I have the following story:
I changed carrier last week, until that everything worked fine, my yahoo, google and company emails. I use BIS.
Now, I am not able to setup my company email, but my other emails work ok, m phone is registered. I use these emails since many years and had 3-4 different bb models, having no problem to setup all of them.
So, i tried my new carrier's website to create a new account, I got the following message:
Cannot create account:
This action cannot be performed using a browser on a computer. Use the email setup application on your BlackBerry® smartphone to create an account.
I called my previous carrier, they say tham my PIN is deleted from their system.
My current carrier (vodafone hungary) says taht everything is fine from their side, it should work. And I have to fix my company email. When I try to set it up, I got the message that the server is not responding.
Any idea?

Thank you for all of those answers...they help a great deal.
You should talk with your work email admins to see if there's anything special about their system that needs to be accommodated in your configuration. Also, have them review this KB to be sure that they've opened up all that is required for BIS to properly integrate:
KB11036 Firewall and connection requirements for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Further, if the auto-configs do not properly sense what is needed, you may need to use advanced configuration...you select that by intentionally providing your correct email address, but an incorrect password. The next screen that should come up has a check-box for you to say you will provide manual settings...check that and then put into the fields what your email admins tell you is needed. That may perhaps work. It's called advanced integration, and here's the relevant KB:
KB10154 How to integrate a POP or IMAP email account through advanced integration
While rare, it is also possible for some internet-facing email systems to not be able to configure into BIS. However, since you say you had this email account previously working on your BB, this result would not be logical -- unless the email admins changed something on their side.
I am curious about two of your responses though...those you talk about re-registering and creating a new account. One BB PIN can have only one BIS account at any given time (and only on one carrier at a time). So, unless your BIS account were first deleted, you would of course fail to be able to create a new one.
It is also possible that perhaps you indeed are not providing the proper credentials when you configure...if there is a combination of numbers and symbols in your credentials, then you need to be especially careful when entering those, especially via the device interface. For instance, if your password is
ab123
and you enter
a > b > ALT > 1 > 2 > 3
the actual result will be
ab1er
You must enter
a > b > ALT > 1 > ALT > 2 > ALT > 3
in order to wind up with ab123. So, in this example, while on the BB keyboard you think you are typing ab123, you are actually typing ab1er.
You may also need to take that risk of having a Vodafone rep attempt configuring this into your account for you.
Good luck and let us know!

Unable to set up email account on iPhone

Hello everyone,
Please bear with me because I am new to the iPhone and a recent convert from Blackberry. OK, here is my problem.
I have 3 email addresses, 2 of them have set up just fine and dandy on my iPhone, the third refuses to get past the bit where you type in the imcoming and outgoing server bits (I've copied the setting exactly from Microsoft Outlook so I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right). It says that 'secure connection failed' and that 'the certificate may not be valid', I've tried clicking on continue anyway but nothing happens, it just tries for ages to verify the account. I'd be grateful if someone could please help.
Best Wishes,
Jules

A quick Google search tells me that Webmail is an Earthlink system.
Perhaps one of these POP server settings will work?

If you have an IT department or Internet administrator within your company, they may also be of assistance.
Best of luck!
