IPod touch duplicating Email accounts and mail boxes

iPod touch 2nd generation running 4.2.1
I have 7 email accounts and 7 mailboxes in the mail program on my iMac. I have the iPod touch set to sync all of them. Somehow 5 of the 7 mail boxes and accounts are being duplicated on the iPod touch. I don't use the iPod much for email and want to eliminate all but 2 of the accounts and mailboxes from it but I can't figure out how and I don't know why they are being duplicated.

Wow, that's crazy. I did hear one can kill an iPhone remotely.

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

Ipod touch--my email account is on my daughters itouch

Hey there! I am trying to set up my daughters new ipod touch. I logged onto my email account and I'm not sure how to get my information out of the system.
Any tips? Thanks

HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

How to secure an 16 GB iPod Touch's power on and mail?

Hi!
Is there a way to add a password protection when turning on an 16 GB iPod Touch (firmware v1)?
Also, how can I have its mail's POP3 and SMTP accounts ask for password since I do not want it to memorize my passwords for security reasons. It seems like it is either have no password set or have one memorized, but no prompt when checking and sending e-mails.
Thank you in advance.

Multiple email accounts and mail check frequency

If I understand correctly, I can have multiple email accounts on the iPhone, one for work, one personal for example. Is it possible to have distinct update settings, or to easily take one offline? Say I don't want my work email retrieved during the weekend. We're all set to do the family thing with iPhones, but this question came up. With my Treo I frequently turn only one or the other of the accounts on, depending on what I'm doing.
How distinct are the accounts? I assume the mail is in separate accounts as on the desktop?
Thanks

Thanks. That's good news.
In Mail app I have one account, with two different "from" addresses set. I select the proper address depending if I'm writing family or a mailing list. Is that same feature available as it is on the desktop?

Mail on my touch locks email account on Mail.app on Mac

When I use the mail application of the touch it locks up the account on my Mac in Mail.app. Is there a way to prevent this and still use the email on the touch?

This appeared to be caused by the fact that I keep all my email on the email server for at least 30 days. and It took time to process all of my email.

My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

My mail is configured correctly. When I go to view my inbox I get the 'Load More Messages...' with the number of messages showing. I touch the display and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the email account and restarted the device. I can send mail fine as well as view my sent messages. Very confusing.

I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

HT1694 I did that, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

I followed the steps detailed on the help page for resolving email issues with Hotmail (Live.com) did everything listed, followed all the steps, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

Can you access the account on another device?
Have you tried when connected to another network?
Have you tried deleting the account from the iPod and reentering the settings since it is easy to make an error.

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.
