Is it possible to set up personal email accounts on iPhone5?

Can iPhone 5 handle two different personal email accounts (as well as gmail etc)? I have two personal domain names, each with its own email address. My Air handles all this fine. But my new iPhone5 is a problem. One account is OK but the other rejects all settings by saying they are incorrect. Two visits to a genius bar have failed to solve the problem.
Is there a hosting company that specialises in iOS and could provide advice?

I've spoken to them 4-5 times and emailed a print out of my Air settings. They say the settings are fine. The genius guys also agree the phone settings follow the Air settings. I suspect there is some little thing, or maybe some forwardings, that are screwing it up.

Can't set up personal email account

My setup wizard doesn't not have a personal email set up option. I do not have the seperate email icon. I've spoken to Rogers support and they say my IMEI number is locked with another carrier. I don't know who the carrier is because this is a used unlocked BB. Also tried to resend service books a couple of times but that didn't seem to work. Anyone can help? Thanks

Hiya!
Those sound like 2 separate issues really. if its unlocked... its not locked to a carrier
But the reason why you would not have a personal email option is because your device isnt registered on the BIS network. Do you know if you have a Blackberry data plan with Rogers?
If you are 100% sure you do. go here
http://rogers.blackberry.com
and login/register
try and setup your personal email there. if you cannot. you dont have the plan on your account

How do I set a personal email account to be POP when it defaults to IMAP?

Hello there
I need to set up my client's email account on his Storm (O2) to POP however the Blackberry Internet Service (and also the device) detect that IMAP is available and sets it to IMAP.
This is really urgent as it is causing issues and I have had no luck with O2 and am now desperate.
Please help!

Hello,
There is nothing you can do via the device nor even the carrier BIS interface. BIS will default to the "best" quality connection it finds on the server you direct it to. If that server is running both POP and IMAP, BIS will use IMAP. You cannot override it. The only way it can be different is if the email provider has separate servers for POP and IMAP. Then, by directing BIS to the proper server, BIS will configure for what that server is handing out.
Hope that helps!

I can't set up my personal email account

Hi! am hoping someone might be able to help. My storm was delivered this morning and I have been unable to set up my personal email accounts through the setup wizard. I only have the option to set up a work email account using a Blackberry Enterprise server and NOT add or create an account.
I've already completed the suggestions of a previous post
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&thread.id=483
i.e. setting up mailing account with vodafone and trying to activate on the wireless network but nothing seems to work. Am I just being too impatient?? Do I have to wait for activation? Or am I just stupid?!?!?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Rick you need to call them and let them know you have a new BlackBerry and have them register the PIN and IMEI number on your account, and re-establish the BIS account to your SIM.

Trouble setting up personal email on my new Bold 9700

Hi
I have just bought my first ever BB - Bold 9700 for personal use. I cannot set up my email account - as it keeps coming up with "Your device had a problem connecting to the server"
Please can someone help!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Since you didn't tell us exactly what you are doing, we cannot tell where in the process that message comes up. For instance, I cannot tell if you selected Enterprise or Personal email when you made the attempt...indeed, I cannot tell if your BB even presented you the option for Personal email.
Please advise with more details.
Thanks!

How do I combine Thunderbird setups each accessing different sets of multiple email accounts on 2 old computers into one Thunderbird setup on my new computer?

The laptop accesses my personal email accounts (4 different ones) and my business email accounts (2 different ones). The old desktop accesses my personal email accounts and my wife's emails (2 accounts for her). I now have a new desktop computer and I would like to access all accounts from a single Thunderbird. It would be extremely tedious to start a new Thunderbird and enter all the account information for all of these multiple accounts from a fresh start and re-download all the emails. I know I can backup the Thunderbird profiles separately and restore them to separate Thunderbird instances on two separate users, but it is a pain to switch users each time one of us needs to see a different email account. If the multiple accounts cannot be restored into a singe new Thunderbird instance, is there a way to set up two Thunderbird instances on a single user's desktop and restore one computer's backup into one Thunderbird and the other into the second? Thank you.

Setting up the accounts anew in a fresh installation is probably the least tedious part of all this.
Merging your various email stores is ikely to involve moving gigabytes of data. You don't want to do that piecemeal.
I'd start with the most recent of your profiles and install that into the new Thunderbird. Then I'd add the required accounts whilst the old computers are accessible to double-check their settings for the accounts.
Then I'd import the mail stores from the older profiles using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
You haven't indicated if any or many of these accounts use IMAP, in which case all you need to do is set up the account on the new computer and the stored data will find its own way in.
While you have all your old profiles marshalled, it would be worth your while to import address book files too, using: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html to retrieve the *.mab files.

Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app. What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

Hello!
To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a Push-email enabled BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
Good luck!

Configure PERSONAL email account

I wanted to configure my personal email account, but all I get on my BB, when I enter the set up wizard (besides from bluethooth, wifi) is the email set up wizard for a work email account. (whilst, if I look to the help menu online, there you get two possibilities).
How come?

Do you have a Blackberry Data Plan on your account rather than the a Standard Carrier Data Plan?

Syncing contacts between work and personal email accounts

Device:
Model: Apple iPhone 5s
Storage: 16GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
User has multiple email accounts (both work and personal) on the iPhone 5s. How does a user manage adding personal contacts to iPhone without personal contacts syncing to a work email account contacts list?
Issue: User adds personal contacts to their iPhone and those contacts are now showing in their MS Exchange work email contacts list.
Troubleshooting: User went into individual personal contacts that were synced to MS Exchange work email contacts list- selected name- scrolled down to
"Linked Contacts"- selected Exchange (with name of contact)- selected edit- scrolled down to delete contact. This seemed to remove the contacts instantaneously.
Also
Went into Settings-Mail Contacts and Calendar- Scrolled down to Contacts- set Default Account to personal email account. Tested adding a personal contact and this did not seem to sync up to the Exchange email contact list.
Is there any other way that would prevent personal and work contacts from merging when a user uses the same device to manage both accounts?

When you go into Contacts - you should see two groups - work and personal
If you uncheck the work group - you will be left with the personal contacts to which you should be able to add
