ICloud does not support pop accounts? Any workarounds?

Hmm, just when I thought I was ready to bite the bullet and migrate from mobileme to iCloud another limiting factor arises. As well as not syncing keychains or mail accounts (which I can just about live with) I read on the apple support pages that I won't be able to check my legacy hotmail accounts.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4918
After moving to iCloud, the following webmail features will no longer work:
Checking external POP email accounts.
Again, not a major issue because I don't use my hotmail accounts that much, but blimey, Apple are really pushing users through hoops to get everything working! It's like I'm reliving the move from .mac to mobileme back in 2008!!!!
Is there a workaround which will enable me to access my hotmail accounts through my OS X mail client if I move over to iCloud?
Thanks
VP

It seems to me that iCloud is still checking and downloading the mails from a POP account I set up under MobileMe. I can't see, edit or send mails through it though. And of course there isn't a garanty for it. Can be a "male function" as well.

  • Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
    So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
    But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
    Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

    The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
    Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • Outgoing Server does not recognise POP account

    I've just set up 2 POP mail accounts on mac mail, I also have a .mac mail account.
    I can receive messages from the POP mail accounts but I can't send emails using POP mail accounts. I'm getting this message when I try -
    The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server
    The server response was: 5.1.0 <[email protected]>... From address does not match authentication.
    I can still send mail from my .mac account, that works perfectly ok.
    can anybody offer any suggestions please

    Sounds like the outgoing mail server for these POP accounts is authenticated.
    Are these POP accounts provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet or other?
    If the SMTP server is authenticated, what are the provided/required settings for this SMTP server?
    If these POP accounts are not provided by your ISP, are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with Mail and if so, are you able to send messages with this account?

  • When I delete an E-mail the next one does not automatically pop up any more

    When deleted,next E-mail always opened.Now it just goes back to E-mail page.Went into yahoo mail site and it still has "open next E-mail" checked as the option of choice.Firefox 25 just downloaded automatically a few days ago and that is when I started having the problem.

    Try some basic steps if you have issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • ICloud does not locate my macbook, any ideas?

    i have registered both my iphone and macbook and they both show in the "find my iphone" and it will located my iphone, but says unable to locate my macbook.

    Fine, but if wifi is off or not connected, then it won't work.  That's always one thing to check.
    Another issue is when routers are not registered with their location.  Home routers occassionally have this problem (usually the ISP doesn't provide the "web" (where locations are stored in a database) with the data).  One test is to try locating your device when connected to a public wifi service (a coffee shop, etc.).

  • This computer does not support video chats

    Why does Apple BREAK functionality whenever they 'upgrade' the OS?
    BEFORE i upgraded to Mountain Lion, iChat video worked fine.
    as you can see from the screen capture, the camera and audio are detected (and working), but Messages thinks my iMac does not support video chats.
    any ideas?

    hi,
    If Messages is starting up at the same time sa the computer then start it separately.
    It will "read" the speed it can see at this time and "write" it to the .plist involved.
    At computer Start up the Computer is busy making connections itself and uses a large amount of your Bandwidth distorting what iChat or Messages can "See"
    Do a Speed test and compare this to what you think you should be getting.
    AS you say it can pay to try a router reboot if the speed looks a little low.

  • While looking to upgrade to a new MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me. are there any workarounds?

    While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

    When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

    Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.

  • I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

    Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
    In Settings  Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
    Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
    Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
    Can anybody help please??

    Hi,
    I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
    I reset both my Apple ID and password.
    When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
    Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
    If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
    In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
    Any suggestions??

  • Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

    Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

    Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
    No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
    Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
    No.

  • Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.
