IPhone email stays logged into pop3 server, never logging out

I have an iPhone 4 with the latest firmware/software.
My email provider is SureWest. They have a pop3 server I use to retrieve my email from their server. This works fine.
I also use Outlook Express on my Windows machine at home to download this same email.
I have the iPhone set to check for new email every 15 minutes. It leaves a copy on the pop3 server, so I can download the same emails when I get to my home computer.
The problem is that the iPhone appears to stay "logged in" to the pop3 server, so when I get home, and try to check my email, I get an error message from SureWest, saying that I am already logged in. But I'm not!
To solve the problem, I have to power off my iPhone, wait a minute or two, then check my email from the home computer.
Seems silly that the iPhone just stays "logged in" to the pop3 server.
Any fixes/updates for this problem?

My iChat account on Messages stays logged out Mountain Lion

Since I upgraded to Messages Beta while on Lion, my iChat account has randomly logged out constantly while in use...
The only way I could fix this was by restarting my computer, but eventually it would log out, and stay logged out, again.
Now having upgraded to Mountain Lion, and today updating to 10.8.1 (hoping it would fix the issue), nothing has helped.
In Mountain Lion, my Messages now logs out within 5 minutes of being logged in, and stays logged out.
I've tried fixing the port on the account, using/not using SSL, trying with/without using proxy, etc...
I'm not a pro with using these complicated internet thingys, but I just want my iChat to work (in Messages!!!!).
PLEASE HELP ME

Using firefox with yahoo toolbar I cannot access my hotmail button, it locks up my email account, I cannot read/delete emails or log out of account.

I use the yahoo-firefox toolbar that has buttons you can access from the toolbar, mail etc. I have a button for Hotmail it goes to the account but locks up, it will not let me read/delete emails nor log out of my account. I can access it from another laptop that is not running the same versions of firefox/yahoo toolbar.

Last but not least, for the site that has the problem:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can open the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

This is what I did:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode
A small guide on how to put your iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode. Works with all G’s of iPod touch / iPhone
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.
That's when I got the black screen with USB and iTunes icons. iTunes itself, did not show my phone.

Myspace & Yahoo email won't stay logged out!

I usually use Safari. I haven't tested it with FireFox or on the Windows XP partition. Whoever is the last user logged in to both Myspace or Yahoo! email will constantly login itself. I do not run anti-virus and I do not use the save passwords option. If I'm logged into either and logout, when I check later I'm logged back in. If my girlfriend logs into either then the same happens to her. It only seems to be affecting those two. She uses Facebook daily and it never does this. Any help is appreciated!

Test with Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions
Failing that, try in a new or Guest user account, if it works there you'll know the problem lies within your usual account or settings.
To be clear, given the response concerning Mail application... you are talking about Safari & the yahoo mail website - right ?

Email password smtp and pop3 server problem

My mail is continually asking me to enter password for my hotmail account, both for the pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com. It gives me an option to either enter my password or cancel, and neither option works. It is rejecting the password and my email won't work because of this! Is there a w way I can re set the password or anything?

For communications, use Sockets.
For what to send over them, see the following:
SMTP - RFC 821: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/std/std10.txt
POP3 - RFC 1939: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/std/std53.txt
...it's all in there.

Iphone won't log out of old apple id

I forgot my password for my original Apple ID and cannot retrieve it. I made a new Apple ID and logged into it under settings--store--apple ID. However, every time I try to update my apps for my phone, it asks for the password for my old Apple ID and will not seem to connect to my new Apple ID, even though that's what I'm logged into now. I'm stuck and can't update any of my apps. Please help!

You don't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased with. So, you can find out what the passcode to the old Apple ID is, or you can delete those apps associated with and re-purchase them with your new Apple ID.

I got my iphone 4 secondhand, and the 3g has never worked out the house, how do i get my internet/3G to work while i'm out?

i don't know how to get 3G working on my iphone4 can someone please help?

Is there an active sim in the iPhone? Do you have an account with
a supported wireless provider? Can you make and receive phone calls
outside of your house? Is your account provisioned for data as well
as for phone calls? What did your wireless provider say when you
contacted them?

Why can someone access my emails on my iPad even when I have logged out?

Hi when I log into my email account with bt - I read my emails and log out. If I then pass my ipad to my friend he logs into his email with bt also. If he then clicks on mail it takes him straight to my emails and he can't access his own, regardless of how many attempts he makes logging in and out.

Thanks
Tried that too.
I really appreciate your help but now think the problem may be with accessing BT on iPad.
Whatever I do, BT mail keeps opening with MY email. Does anyone else have this problem. BT users out there give it a try for me.
Cheers

Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

If you don't have to with code, Please refer to: Migrating Oracle Databases to SQL Server 2000

Since I updated Firefox I have to constantly re log-in to my Yahoo account such as email. Every time I leave the page I have to log-in to get back into it. I also run OPERA and I do not have that problem with them. I stay logged in. Any suggestions?

I have windows Vista and have the updated version of Firefox. I also can run OPERA and LUNASCAPE with no problems. When running Firefox I have to constant re log-in to my Yahoo account every time I leave the page. For example: I log in to check my email on Yahoo and then leave my email page. Then when I return to recheck my email I have to log in all over again. I can't stay logged in. If I run my OPERA browser I stay logged in for days without having to sign in all over again.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

POP3 email marked as read on server before being read

Problem: Emails downloaded to my iPhone are marked as read on the server, even when they have not been read on either the iPhone, server/webmail or any other email client. When iPhone recieves a new email, it is listed as unread on the phone but on the server's webmail the same email will be listed as read. This sounds exactly like the problem described here, but unfortunately there was no solution to that discussion. The main issue for me when trying to find the new/unread email via webmail, when my inbox is sorted by conversation/thread, is that all the emails look the same. The new email is not highlighted differently (ie. unread) to the other 99 emails on the page and so is difficult to find.
More information: My iPhone is supplied by my employer and is used primarily for work. The primary mail account is configured to sync with my employer's Exchange server. This all works fine. I have added a second account to send/retrieve SMTP/POP3 email to/from my home ISP's mail server. This all works fine too (but with the above mentioned problem). With my previous phone (Windows Mobile), this same setup worked fine but without items on the server being marked as read.
Example: At work, on my PC, I have a web browser tab open on my home ISP's webmail page. The iPhone chimes and displays a new email notice on its lockscreen. Without touching the iPhone, I check my webmail on the PC to read the new email. In the list of emails in my webmail Inbox, the new email is already marked as read, even though I have not yet opened it on the iPhone nor via webmail. Futher to this, if I send myself an email from work to home, and immediately check my webmail, I can see the email listed as unread. Without opening the email, if I allow the iPhone to check for new email (or manually make it check) but do not open the new email, then refresh the webmail page, that new email has now become marked as read.
Further information: My ISP does not offer IMAP; this is stated very clearly on their user help/email setup wiki pages. My iPhone is configured to use their POP3 server address and port 110, the same as I have configured on my home PC. My work email account is configured for Push, my home account is configured for Fetch - hourly. The account advanced settings... Deleted Messages=never remove, Use SSL=off, Authentication=password, Delete from server=never, Server Port=110, S/MIME=off.
Any ideas that the heck is going on here?

Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Okay. This is doing this because your bb is not logging into the owa (outlook web access), it's using POP3. In order to use owa it must be enabled on your exchange server (ask your admin if you have this option). An owa address is something like https://mail.yourcompay.com/owa, depending how your admin set this up it could be named something else. You can either get to this option through your phone companys (BIS) website or on the bb itself.
If you use your phone companys website (BIS) to configure this option just log in and find the topic that reads something like this -
"How do I set up BlackBerry Internet E-mail using a My T-Mobile Account?"
This will give you the instruction for setting up the account for owa. (Took me a little bit to find this in my tmobile account.) During this setup there should be an option to check called use owa. You have completed the setup and never saw that option then start over and find that option.
If you go through the bb's setting on the actual device the way to get to this option is kind of strange (at least it was the only way I could figure out how to get to it on my phone).
I started by deleting the email account off the phone then added a new account. Go back to the account setting and change the password to a wrong password. After you select "ok" or "next" or whatever to get to the next screen you will get a message saying could not connect to server or error or something like that. Now you should have a option to configure the device manually. This option will get you to page to allow you to select OWA. Then just configure you bb for owa and you are good to go.
Sorry this is such a crude post. I usually take the time to give very accurate, step-by-step instructions, but I do not have time. Good luck to all with this issue.

Staying Logged In on My Iphone

I've looked at the forum here for answers on why I can't stay logged in to websites through Safari such as Facebook or Hotmail without having to reenter my username and password many, many times...since i get logged out if select an item to look at, or after looking at an email. I read in the forum about cookie problems in the updated 1.1.4 Safari...but the only answers seem to be about adjusting term-vt100 in installer... which involves third party applications and jailbreaking. Is there anyway of fixing this problem on a non-jailbreaked phone in safari? This was never a problem a couple of months ago, when iphone would keep me logged into web sites for a much longer period of time. I've also cleared out my cache, cookies and history, and enabled cookies to always...so what else can i do? it makes it virtually impossible to use facebook on iphone for example. Joe

If I remember correctly, Apple forgot to change the permissions of the cookies folder.
There is no fix for it without jailbreaking. I'm sure Apple fixed it in 2.0 (since they rewrote the thing).
It also depends on the site, too. Facebook used to be fine. Then there was a period where it was impossible to do stuff like send a message, etc. since it would log you out...but now it seems to be fine.
