I usually email myself to test an address but today it doesn't work, any ideas why?

I have often emailed myself to test a new address etc. Someone emailed me yesterday and it did not arrive so I tried a self check (frm Mozilla) and it did not arrive either. I emailed myself using webmail and the message arrived in both the webmail and Mozilla inboxes! Any ideas on what has happened, please? Regards. doddie

If your providers SMTP server accepted the sent mail from Thunderbird it is done. What happens after that is your providers operation. When the message did not arrive back to you was the message in your Inbox on the server when you checked? Thunderbird downloads messages from your Inbox on the server. If the message is not there, it cannot download it.
Comparing mail sent thru SMTP servers and web mail means nothing. Complete different process through different servers.
All it proves is that you know your username and password.

Time doesn't update periodically, links don't open in emails, turning off and on at least once a day...any ideas why???

I'm having to turn off and on my iPhone at least once a day to update time, and/or to receive texts that are not coming through when they should've gone through. Also, why don't the links open when i click on them from my email? Also, phone has to reconnect to wifi every time I unlock it. Any recommendations???

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
This is something that often cures strange problems like yours. I hope it works for you.

Have correct info for static IP address but wifi still doesn't work

The way the internet is set up in my condo building I have to use a set static IP address. I have all of the information necessary, but it still won't connect to wifi. Has anyone had this problem?

Oh, something I should have mentioned initially that makes the case slightly interesting, The wifi works perfectly when connected to the internet via my Time Capsule, but if I turn that off and try to connect to the main router I have to be sat within two feet of the router or I lose connectivity. I don't really know much at all about internet connections and frequencies and ranges and whatnot, but am I right in saying normal internet is 'n' and the Time Capsule can also emit 'g' and 'b' or something like that? Are there two antennae in the macbook, one that picks up the normal internet and one reserved for the other types and perhaps the one that connects to normal internet is faulty in some way?

Just got my other new ipad yesterday and am setting it up. Wanting to use the same e-mail address but won't let me. Any idea's. We would like to be able to get into e-mails on both ipads. Thanks.

Just got my other ipad2 yesterday and would like to use the same e-mail that I use on the other one, but it won't let me. Any idea how to set that up. I thought you could have like 5 on one acct. Thanks.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

When setting up my Email on the Iphone 4s, the phone just stays on Verifying. Any ideas would be welcome thanks.

When setting up my email account on the iphone 4s- it just stays on verifying.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Many thanks

The verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
A few suggestions i have to make would be:
Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
Then reload the email and try and verify again.
Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
Best of luck.

Try from a computer. You may have to reset your password. If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question. Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

Spammers have probably hacked your mail account. Change the password, to something much harder than it was before and see if it happens again. If it does then you may need to talk to the provider or take more aggressive action.
Usually they hack, send spam and move on.

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an err

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server. The new password is working on my home computer. I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
Thank you,

Since updating to ios 8.2 my email is no longer working. Any idea why?

Since updating to ios 8.2 my email is no longer working. Any idea why? I have restarted my phone multiple times, tried deleting email account and readding it, but nothing is loading. Mail says last updated Sunday which was when I did the software update.

Use the Yahoo mail app to avoid problems with the regular Apple mail app.

You can contact iTunes support and request that they remove the $0.68 from your account here:

Hi benzgotcha32,
I want you to have the ability to forward any needed emails! Let's review what trouble is preventing the messages from going out. Which device do you have that's not allowing the messages to be sent? What type of email account do you have? Are you able to create a new email and have that successfully send? I look forward to hearing back from you so we can can get this matter resolved.
Thank you,
