Ip4 email accounts greyed out.

Ip4 email accounts greyed out, tried powering down and back up but still greyed out. This happened before installing ios 5, i was hoping it would clear it up.
Strangely it installed iCloud account but I can't add new accounts or alter the fetch times - help appreciated in advance.

Update,
after chatting with Apple support (2 calls), gettingineffective advice to reset network settings, i ended up pressing "Reset All Settings".
this cured the problem, retaining ios5 (thankfully), all my email accounts, data, apps etc (even more thankfully), i just had to re-insert WiFi key.
hope this helps others with such a trcky glitch.

  • Recently Migrated Files - Mail Accounts Grey out Randomly

    I recently migrated files from an older Macbook running Tiger to a newer Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. Now some of my email accounts grey out when I check email and the accounts that are grey are different each time! I can still retrieve email on the old computer so the problem is not my ISP or email provider. I have checked all the accounts and they appear to be the same as on the old computer. I did, however, re-enter all the info by hand just in case. I have run Connection Doctor and get different results every time even if I change nothing. Any clues?

    Update: I tried taking all my accounts offline and retrieving mail from only one account at a time. This DID seem to work but it's unacceptable to have to retrieve email this way. I have 8 accounts. But maybe the additional info will help someone troubleshoot.

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

  • Cannot create email account with out active sim/da...

    Do you need a sim card and data plan inorder to create an email account on the E72? I don't have a sim in my e72 only wifi access most things seem to work such as sending/receiving email and surfing the internet. But can you NOT add a new email account with out a cellular data plan or sim card inserted?

    Mail for Exchange and Lotus Traveler should work on WiFi, but the Nokia messaging accounts need Operator connection (at least for initial setup).

  • Email-only account greyed out

    An email-only account appears greyed-out in the LHS column in the Mail window. Hovering the cursor over the mailbox name produces a two-line pop-up error message as follows.
    Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server "mail.mac.com".
    The server error encountered was: "Mailbox does not exist".
    I've checked in my .Mac account that our subscription is paid up to July and the email-only address is listed on the Manage Your Account screen. Can anyone help please?

    I have just posted this question as well and we have the same situation, an email only account.
    When I try to set up an iCloud account for my wife using her [email protected] address i'm always relogged on to iCloud with my details coming up.
    Do I have to delete my Mobileme account before setting her account up, if so does she still retain her  @mac.com address.

  • Help, Redirector not working, Email settings greyed out

    This was working. I had everything set up and then I can only assume last weekend when I installed and update from MS it cancelled everything.
    Now when I open the Desktop Manager, my email settings are greyed out, I can't sync my messages or calendar. When I click on it, it says, "Email settings are not available without an online connection to your messaging system." When I go to sychronize and try to configure it, there is no Outlook user profile to choose from. I have added another user profile in outlook and tried again, but there are still no profiles to choose from in the dropdown menu.
    Also, when I open up Redirector, I get the message. "Could bot start the Redirector: the connection to your messaging system could not be initialized".
    I know these are both related, there is something I'm forgetting. I have went through the forums and tried several things that appear to be the same, but none have worked. Anyone have a suggestion?
    I don't know that it matters, but I've got a Bold and using Outlook 2007.

    Hi again, I have reinstalled the DM 5.0 & chose the BES type installation even though I am not using that. This enable me to use the Redirector properly again
    Interesting...FWIW -- Redirector is pretty much designed strictly for Enterprise users (MS Exchange, Notes, etc.) whose firms do not host an internet facing interface to their corporate email (OWA, POP, etc.). Redirector is designed for those users to leave a client PC running, inside of the corporate network, with their email client (Outlook) running all the time. The redirector interfaces with the client and manages the communication (via the internet connection from their firm) with their single BB.
    BIS is designed as the interface for normal internet-facing email accounts. With BIS, there is no need for the redirector since BIS, hosted at your carrier, interfaces directly with your email server (GMail, Yahoo, etc.) and manages the link between them and your BB (for email only).
    Since your PC client is interfacing, across the internet, to your email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), then BIS can do the same thing -- they are both, quite simply, IMAP/POP client interfaces to such servers...
    Anyway, if you want to rid yourself of the desktop redirector, then you might want to consider BIS for internet-facing email interface to your BB.

  • IMAP Email Box Greyed Out

    I have read other threads on numerous Apple Mail problems with iPhone V2.1 but nobody seems to have this particular problem, so here goes!
    1st gen iPhone running 2.1 - just updated from 1.1.2 and wish I hadn't.
    In the Mail app, I have 3 email accounts, all IMAP. 1 MobileMe account and 2 Fastmail accounts. The MobileMe and 1 of the Fastmail accounts behave perfectly. The other Fastmail account with almost the same settings other than the username and password, has a greyed-out Inbox which I cannot access. It downloads the number of emails just fine - it registers next to the Inbox how many new emails are waiting at any given time. So it must be connecting to the server. Yet I cannot access the Inbox itself UNLESS the iPhone actually opens Mail at thart particular Inbox and there indeed are all the emails. If I then leave the Inbox and try to go back to it - again, greyed out. This is driving me nuts.
    I have tried:
    1. Holding down the Home button to quit Mail as per advice in another thread. Doesn't help.
    2. Restoring via iTunes to 2.1 again. Doesn't help.
    3. Switching the rogue mail account on and off via Settings. Doesn't help.
    4. Deleting the entire rogue email account via Settings and within iTunes. Then asking iTunes to "replace mail information on this iPhone". Doesn't help.
    5. Deleting the rogue email account and inputting the account back into the iPhone manually. Doesn't help.
    I really am at a loss now. Short of Restoring again and this time setting up my iPhone as a new phone, instead of asking it to restore all my old settings, I don't know what to do. And I don't want to do that because then I lose some very precious SMS texts that I want to keep on the iPhone.
    Why would one Fastmail IMAP account work perfectly and not the other? It has exactly the same settings, port numbers etc. The only things that are different are the log in name and password.
    This rogue email account was working perfectly for 24 hours under 2.1 and then suddenly the Inbox becomes greyed out for seemingly no reason.
    If this was happening on my MacBook Pro I'd start troubleshooting by deleting the Mail preference files in the Library. But that isn't possible with the iPhone because I've no idea what files to look for. I may delete something important.
    Has anyone any suggestions - other than throwing the iPhone out of the window or taking it back to 1.1.4 [which actually seems a better option]? Is it possible to go back to 1.1.4?

    After HOURS of fiddling with this problem, I have at last got my business Fastmail working on the iPhone! It isn't perfect, as I had to fiddle around with the IMAP pathways in Apple Mail on my computer to get it to work with 2.1 on the iPhone, but it is working.
    What had happened was that synchronising the Mail with the new 2.1 software on the iPhone, had actually created a new second Inbox within my Fastmail account itself! A knock-on effect in that the second Inbox created on the iPhone had synced back to Apple Mail on my computer and from there to Fastmail. So everything had become very muddled, hence the greyed-out box on the iPhone. I therefore had to go right back to the "head" of the queue - the Fastmail account on the web - delete the extra boxes the iPhone had created, set up the Fastmail account within Apple Mail on my computer all over again, reset the IMAP pathways, and then sync to the iPhone.
    I have now switched off the setting that automtically syncronises the Mail box settings on 2.1 on the iPhone so that it doesn't happen again!
    It just goes to show I should listen to my own advice - don't ever upgrade just for the sake of it! If something is working and it does what you want it to do, leave it alone. Should have stayed with 1.1.2 for now.

  • Mail account greyed out and cannot access

    Under mail settings, the email accounts are greyed out and I cannot access their settings.

    This is what I did, i did not have a restriction button or access to my email accounts. I allowed Apple to diagnose my phone issues when asked. then waited about 20 minutes, then looked for Restrictions again under the Settings, General tab, it was there. Shut off all restrictions, then my email accounts came back. Don't know what fixed what but I'm happy now.

  • OSX Server Mobile Account Greyed out after initial setup?

    I just setup a new install of Mountain Lion on an iMac and installed Server.app to set it up as a server.  I activated Open Directory and configured it for a few users (with NFS mounted home directories from a Linux NFS server).  I then logged into the iMac with one of these users and it asked me if I wanted to make them a mobile user.  I did as this will activate the Portable Home Directory function.  It asked me what I would like to sync and then setup the user as normal.  Now the issue I have is with any subsequent login of that user if I go to the Users & Groups sys pref panel the Mobile Account "Configure" button is greyed out.  Syncing can still work from the menu bar pull down but I can no longer change any of my sync preferences.  I've gone through the settings in default read com.apple.homeSync but nothing in there seems to affect that button being greyed out.  To eliminate the NFS server as a possible cause I setup a local network user with local storage on the server and it acts the same way after setting up as a mobile account. Any ideas on what causes this?

    I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
    Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

  • Why is the add account greyed out

  • Outlook 2010 - Some sent emails are greyed out

    Hello,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server with Office 2010 installed,on which 10 users connect and work. Every user have his own email profile.
    On only 2 users, randomically some sent emails are duplicated, and one of the two copies is greyed out and barred. Looks like it has someway been deleted, but the users didn't delete those emails as the greyed out duplicate shows up immediately
    after the user clicks on send.
    If the user double-clicks on the greyed out item, it opens with no issues, and as soon as the user closes the email, it's not greyed out and "barred" anymore, but there are still 2 copies.
    The issue is completely randomic, not all the sent mails are affected.
    The email profile is configured in IMAP and it's attached to a non-exchange mail server.
    The other users have never been affected by this issue, but the IMAP configuration is the same for all the users in the domain.
    How can I troubleshoot this?
    Thanks

    thanks but it's not due to deletion, as I told in the first post "Looks like it has someway been
    deleted, but the users didn't delete those emails as the greyed out duplicate shows up immediately after the user clicks on send"
