I want a BT e-mail account but can't set one up

Arrrrrgh...I am in a chicken and egg scenario.
My main e-mail account is a Hotmail one so I have never set up/used a BT e-mail account. However Mirosoft in their wisdom have now decided to introduce a further security passcode which they will only e-mail it to another e-mail account other than one which is my main Hotmail account Unfortunately the one that I have registered with them is a now defunct fsnet account.
Simple methinks, I will get them to e-mail it to my BT e-mail account instead which I have never used. However because my BT is set up to send e-mail notifications to my currently inaccessible Hotmail account I can't seem to set up a BT e-mail either.
Any help would be most appreciated...

If you already have a BT email address you should be able to log into it here.

If you can not remember it you could contact Live Chat amd they should be able to tell you what it is.

If you don't have a BT email address have a look at this link about how to set one up.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

Had my ipod for one year but now I can't access my music. ipod wants me to create an account but I already have one. Any suggestions?

Had my ipod for a year but now I cannot access my music. ipod want me to create an account but I already did this a year ago. Says my email address is already in use. Any suggestions?

You said "In order to enter ipod I had to create a new id. " Just why did you have to create a new ID? iTunes/App purchases a re locked to the account that purchased them.
You also said "Says my email address is already in use." You can only have one account with one email address.
I do not understand what you did or why you did it. What is current status of the iPod?

I cannot send from one specific BT Mail account but can access folders using IMAP.

Thunderbird 31.3.0 on WIndows 8.1 64 bit.
I have two email accounts configured into Thunderbird.
Both are BT accounts and have identical configurations.
IMAP is used for reading mail, SMTP for sending mail.
On one I can read folders, delete emails from the Bulk Mail folder, fetch and send mail.
On the other I seem to be able to do everything except send mail.
I can read mail, delete SPAM, but for some reason not send emails.
Both accounts are using "mail.btinternet.com" as the IMAP and SMTP server.
I am using Thunderbird as a back up email client to deal with a very few messages which cause major problems with my main email client which is Windows Live Mail 2012. I have double checked and the mail server details are the same between the two and my WLM client can send emails to the same SMTP server on the same port as Thunderbird fails on.
I know the password is correct because I can connect over IMAP and delete SPAM using Tbird.
The only difference that I can see between the two accounts is that one is "@btinternet.com" and the other is "@talk21.com".
The symptoms - I see the progress bar with "Connected to mail.btinternet.com..." and green all the way across.
Some time later I get a separate warning saying "Login to server mail.btinternet.com failed".
Because of the time delay I am assuming that the session has timed out.
I am also assuming that if the credentials were wrong the rejection would have been immediate (although the delay may be to reduce the effectiveness of brute force attempts to guess the password).
So I know that the IMAP credentials are O.K. - I can access the mailbox.
I know that the SMTP credentials are O.K. - I can send mail from WLM using the same settings.
Further confusion - I know that it worked in the past because I have a test message in my Sent mail from when I first set up Tbird.
This is all very weird.
Has anyone else seen something similar?
Also, is there a debug option where I can trace the SMTP protocol when the email is being sent?
Cheers
LGC

Update: - I sent two separate test messages and saved both the failing emails as Draft to retry after restarting Tbird.
I've just noticed that they are both in a Drafts folder on my mail server.
Not, however, the Drafts area for emails composed using the web mail client but under a separate Folders tree.
I can't send the email with the web mail client, although I can forward it.
So further proof that the IMAP side is working.

Can get into my hot mail account but can not open any emails or delete any nothing works. can get into hotmail on explorer but not firefox. everything else works on firefox not hatmail .

HELP! Looking for 3GS for sale but can't find one!

We want to get a 3GS 16GB but can't find one anywhere in UK. I've checked all the carriers, Apple, Amazon, and several others but they seem to have disappeared. Anyone know where I might find one, new preferably. Thanks.

I like the OtterBox cases for iPhone. They have the defender (water resistant) and armor (water proof) case. It's got 3 layers of support and it doesn't make the iPhone too big either. This site has reviews for the OtterBox cases that they offer, and it's pretty useful: http://semsons.blogspot.com. I just read on a blog from Semsons & Co. Inc. that they are offering free shipping on their unbeatable OtterBox cases for iPhones and BlackBerries. You can find the cases here: http://www.semsons.com/cases.html. This offer expires 4/14/08.

Dear All,
I need to change the Full Name on my Icloud E-Mail Account, but I cannot change it, Any Solution ?

Go to icloud.com >> mail >> gear in the upper right >> preferences >> accounts. You can change it there. In my testing, I had to close and reopen my mail.app for it to take affect.

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

I want to move my mail account (exactly how it is on my laptop now) to my new mail account on mavericks

I want to move my mail account (exactly how it is on my laptop now) to my new mail account on mavericks (which is on a new SSD drive) then i am going to format the old hard drive so i can use it as an extra hard drive.
Surely it should be easy?
I thought i could just drop the mail folder but it looks different on Maverick.
I also have a hard drive back up of the old folders and also a time machine back up.
I'm a total dummy.. so go easy on me please

Export makes a mailbox package whihc I thinkis what's need to properly restore on import.
See below for location of export.
For restoring from Time machine here's is the help text for doing so. (I've only done this on individual messages)
I also think if you copy everything in ~/Library/Mail you may be all-right.

When I start using my yahoo mail account , I can't send / forward mail but with IE the problem just vanished

I have been using Firefox since last couple of months and initially I was happy but recently with the issue I have highlighted , taken help of Yahoo but could not be resolved. When I have gone back to IE , the problem has been resolved .

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Deleting a Mail Account But Keeping the Mail From That Account

I want to delete a Mail Account. But, I want to keep all of the email that was associated with that account. If I move the email to another folder within Mail, will that do the trick?

Stephen Levin wrote:
OK, I'm totally confused.
Here is what I normally do:
Check my email (all POP accounts).
It comes into my inbox.
As I deal with a message, I move it from my Inbox to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
That way I end up with just a few emails in my Inbox at any time.
The way I move my messages is I select them and I drag them to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
I know this deletes them from the Inbox and adds them to the folder I am moving them to.
that's moving. when you copy, the original remains in the inbox and a copy is added to the destination folder.
But, I'm pretty sure that when I do so, the Activity Window says I am copying them.
I have several email accounts that people email me at. When I file messages away, they are all mixed up in the folders On My Mac. I have no idea which ones came from which Accounts.
Given all of the above info, if I delete one of my Accounts, will Mail delete some of the emails I have filed away in the folders On My Mac? I think the answer is No, but would like to confirm.
No, once you've moved an email to a local mailbox in "on my mac" it's completely separated from its original email account. if you delete an account it will have no effect on those messages.
I think that the only mail that Mail will delete is the email in the Inbox, Trash, Outbox, and Sent Mail for that Account, but am looking for confirmation.
that's correct.
If that is the case, I don't care about the Trash, I'll make sure the Outbox is empty, and I'll move all of the messages for that Account out of the Inbox and Sent Mail before I delete the Account.
What do you think, will that work?
yes. sorry for confusing you before. This should work just fine.
My suggestion was simply that you copy messages instead of moving them as you've been doing. once the copy is successful you can delete the originals or just delete the account and the originals with it. you don't have to do it but that's a safer operation then moving them directly when you have to do it with a lot of messages at once. That's all. I've seen posts by people who were trying to move large numbers of emails between mailboxes and had Mail choke on the operation. that can result in a loss of emails.
If not, how can I hide the Account I'm no longer planning on using. Right now Mail keeps trying to check it every time I check my Mail and I get that broken icon next to the folders.
In case the OS matters, I'm running the latest version of 10.5 on a Power PC.
Thanks!

My daughter and i share same itunes account but we want to separate and have our own. if i change "our" account to "her" account how can i set up a new "for me only" account and retrieve all my contacts and apps

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?

Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

HT201342 How can I change the USER of my i-cloud address? My 12 year old set up the e-mail account and used a silly user name (like: turtle!!). I would like to have an icloud e-mail account but under my own user name. The other /old name can be deleted?

iCloud email addresses can't be changed or deleted, but you can set up an alias namethat he can use which will be linked to his current iCloud account and will receive email in the existing iCould inbox. This guide explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
