IPhone 3G Cannot create mail account from IPhone.

Cannot create Pop email account from IPhone. Keeps asking if I want to try to create the account without SSL, whether I answer yes or no. I have to create the account via ITunes.
Any ideas?

No error msg. Just keeps asking over and over again, if I want to try to setup the account without SSL. If I answer yes. It try's again for 2 min, the repeats the question. If I say no then it takes me back to the config screen for the account where I can select cancel. Never creates the account or give error msg.

  • All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone.  How to get contacts back?

    I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone.  How can I get them back?  Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts?  Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
    When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu.  The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them --->  phone to itunes or itunes to phone.  Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes.  I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost.  If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option.  Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
    By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
    Help.

    Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove.  This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts.  They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

  • ITunes cannot sync mail accounts because Iphone cancels sync?

    I get the above message when I try to sync my iPhone with my iMac. Does anyone know a fix?

    Usually when itunes cancels a sync, something itunes was trying to sync is corrupted.
    When you sync the iphone to you imac, try syncing one category at a time to see what is canceling the sync.
    First, sync just music and nothing else.
    Then if music sync, try movies or video.
    Keep going through the tabs adding on one thing at a time until you get the error message.
    When you get the error message, you know that something in that last category is corrupted.
    Hope this helps.

  • Thunderbird re-install cannot find mail accounts from previous C:\ drive

    QUESTION; Where do I go from here?
    NARRATIVE:
    My C:\ drive (!Tb) started to balk when after I had a little more than 800Gb stored on it. My tech told me the machine case would hold two internal HDs. We bought an additional 1Tb HD and he installed Windows basics, all drivers, and my regular backup utility so we could make an immediate mirror image of the drive on an external HD.
    Both internals carry Windows 7 64-bit, and by editing Boot Config, I can boot from either -- with no errors or red flags.
    I downloaded TB 31.0, installed it to the new drive; then copied out App Data and Application Data including all TB files from the old HD (2 Windows User accounts) to discreet folders on an external drive. From there, I copied them to the appropriate folders for the two Users on the new HD. Thunderbird will not access them, even though I have used every workaround and trick I have learned with TB over a dozen years. I've worked on this many days, checked several similar items on the forum, and don't see a solution. (And my tech has never wanted to learn anything about Tbird; nor has he needed to in times past.
    I have just uninstalled Thunderbird 31.0 and deleted the content under TB folders in App Data (2) and Application Data (2) on the new C:\ drive. I first confirmed that all previous data is available on the old HD and that the copy on the external drive is complete and accurate -- and without any Windows security locks. Local Settings folders on both old-drive/Users were locked and could never access them, but some TB-related files were in there in times past.
    What should I do? 1) Install an older version of Thunderbird and hope that I can marry the old files in? or, 2) What can you suggest?
    Many thanks in advance. edj.

    I resolved the problem with a 3rd drawer solution (not the best). I put all previous TB Profiles (with all mail folders) aside; then set up new TB accounts accessing Gmail and Yahoo mail.
    Once I have drained the servers of all the accumulated mail, I will go through the old folders (under the old Profiles) and carefully, one at a time, move the folders I need to keep into the Local Folders account. That method appeared in another related post; practical, easy enough, and it got me off dead-center.

    I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

  • Import a new mail account from mac to iPhone

    Hello folks,
    I have a macbook pro and an iPhone 4. The first time I connected my iPhone to the macbook it imported all the mail accounts, with all the settings and so on. Now, I create a new email account on my macbook and I cannot figure out how to import this new mail account on the iPhone. Could you help me please?
    Thanks

    Oh no So if I want this account on my iPhone I have to create it directly from iPhone
    Correct.
    You create the account in mail on your Mac & on your phone. Since it's an exchange account, they will both be kept in sync. When you select sync mail accounts in iTunes, it's only the account settings that are synced, no actual messages are synced at all. You normally only do this one to transfer the account settings to your phone.

  • Itunes store account for an iphone my friend created an account also in the same computer for an ipod and now it the ipod keeps getting all my personal data from my iphone how can i that  both devices sync in the pc

    thnk you

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

    As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

    Select a message, hold the move button, deselect the message while still holding the move button.
    A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
    Bingo!

  • How do I sync my mail accounts from my macbook using the mavericks os to my new iphone 5

    recently I had to get a new iphone 5, so I backed up the old one with my macbook pro that is using the mavericks os. After restoring the new phone from the back up I noticed that the mail accounts from my macbook had not synced as they used to automatically prior to installing mavericks that seems to force you to sync everything pretty much through icloud. Is there any simple way to do this clone my mail accounts to my new iphone 5 from my macbook.

    Hi
    You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

  • Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

    I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.  The password does not have any special characters.  On my PC there is no problem.
    Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail.  I woould get a message, stating "Verification required.  Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com".  when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

    Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
    if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
    In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version).  After downloading it - open and sign in.  It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
    Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
    It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
    Hope this helps

  • After changing yahoo mail pswd i cannot access mail on my iPhone

    After changing my yahoo mail pswd I cannot access mail on my iphone.  All other apps work and I can get mail on my macbook and ipad.  For my iphone I get an error message "cannot connect to server".  What is wrong?

    happened to me this morning, I just went into mail, settings, and then deleted one of the yahoo accounts listed there, not sure how it set up twice, maybe b/c cloud or the restore I did.
