I-phone Mail Settings? please help.

I haven't bought an i-phone as yet, need to end my contract with verizon which ends in June, and I am hoping by then they will have a 32 GB model..... In the meantime, I have heard that one can receive e-mail on the phone, but not send it out, unless they are at home using their wifi connection. What's the point of that? Also I keep reading that yahoo and g-mail have problems. Can someone tell me if an actual .mac account will work better, because it's an apple product. Thanks

Regarding sending problems - this depends on the email account provider and if the provider has an authenticated SMTP server.
Most ISPs (internet service providers) do not have an authenticated SMTP server.
Most, if not all ISPs, block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
For example - if Cox is your ISP, and you are using an email account that is provided by Cox, you will not be able to send a message with your Cox email account unless you are connected to the internet with Cox. If Cox has an authenticated SMTP server (which I don't believe they do), you would be able to send a message with Cox's email account regardless the ISP used for connecting to the internet - via any Wi-Fi network or when connected via EDGE.
This is not an iPhone problem. The same applies is you have a laptop with a wireless card used for connecting via various Wi-Fi networks with an associated ISP that is not Cox.
I access my .Mac account (personal) and a business POP account with my iPhone. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server, and I have yet to experience any problems sending with either account regardlesss the Wi-Fi network used or when connected with EDGE.

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say "by phone". If you mean that you want to change your iTunes Store account settings from your iPhone, see:

    If you mean that you want to be able to call someone and make a change to your iTunes Store account, you can't.

  • Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

    Hi Chris.  Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues.  They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced.  I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings.  However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved.  Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked!  I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
    Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
    Thanks, again.

  • Since I got my iPhone 4 when I send mail on my ipad it goes to people's spam files. I must have done something wrong to settings please help.

    Since I got my iPhone 4 2 days ago whenever I send mail from my ipad1 it goes to everyone's spam files please help. I'm sure I did something to the settings I just can't figure out on which device and how to fix it.

    You might need to send your iPhone back in to Apple, go to an apple store, or get a new iPhone unfortunately. I personally would go to an Apple Genius at the Apple Store. They're really good.

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 (Facebook Push Notificati​on Settings) Please Help

    I have a BB Curve 8330. I received a warranty replacment two days ago. I installed the Facebook application and I am not receiving push notifications to the Facebook App on the Blackberry.
    The thing is, I used to receive push notifications to the FB App on my original 8330 Phone. I looked at all my Settings on Facebook.com, And Installed Facebook App for Blackberry.
    Could anyone please help me out? My Friend has a BOLD and he was receiving notifications instantly to his Facebook App on his BB Bold, while I was not. And we even compared settings and they matched, I am getting e-mail notifications to my account so I am receiving the notifications, just not thru the Facebook App on the phone......what gives?
    I did a Hard reset, and reinstalled my Facebook Application to the phone.
    HELP Please!
    I figured it out. The email address associated with my facebook was not setup on the Blackberry. Facebook e-mails my acocunt then that pushes to the Facebook App on the Phone.

  • E 6 Personal Mail setup -- please help

    Hello E6 experts,
    can you please help me with the steps involved in setting up personal mailboxes in the E6? It's been asked before here... Every time I begin using the mail setup "wizard" I only reach the option for Mail for Exchange. How can one bypass that to setup Gmail and a regular, Imap personal mail box? What might I be missing? Thanks in advance...

    Hello again,
    I just found out about the problem-- One has to have a SIM card installed  (at least for the first time) to be given the options for the various mail services up-front during mail setup. I was trying t do this without a SIM card --using the WiFi connection-- which every other cell phone I have owned allowed me to do. Apparently the E6 is different... Perhaps this will help someone

  • E-MAILING RINGTONES PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Last night and earlier today I was downloading ringtones and e-mailing them to my cellphone.  It worked great.  Now tonight it won't.  It keeps saying MESSAGE DELIVERY ERROR.  I tried sending them to my mom's cellphone.. same exact thing.  I tried sending ringtones from my father's cellphone to both our cells..same thing..
     Spell Check
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Is it one particular ringtone that won't go through?  Ringtones from one particular site?  Perhaps your inbox is full?  Check your phone's internal memory.  Ringtones generally need to be  30 seconds or less, and attachments kept under 500kb in size.
    Is there some common factor in the ringtones that give an error?  Size?  Source?  Just trying to jog your thinking to see what may be causing the glitch....
    Another factor may be the network....temporary glitch....and it will start working again.  Who knows?

  • WAP and MMS settings, please help.

    I just bought a new phone after spending years with very basic ones (I have a history of breaking things and don't really trust myself with decent ones yet)Bought one that was locked to tesco, got it unlocked and then found out that 02 don't have the settings for it. Typical.I've looked at a few other forums and nothing has worked so far, it is a samsung C3530. I would really appreciate any suggestions.Btw I am useless with technology, please help!

    Make sure you have opened your browser and found options / settings / advance and set your browser to use your new manually installed settings as the default. You should be able to get most devices running with just the apn, username and password (payandgo.o2.co.uk payandgo password). If you are still having issues, just book an appointment with your local O2 guru, I am sure they will be able to get you up and running. Good luck and hopefully you will be up and running shortly.
