Mail Account on IPAD Air

I have a brand new Ipad Air which I am setting up for my mother. When setting the mail account and server it keeps coming up with username and password not recognised which it is not. It is a yahoo mail address via BTInternet. Is this something to do with it? It is very frustraiting as all the details are correct.

Since Mail is a dedicated client app (in comparison to a regular webmail session, which runs as a standard web transaction on port 80 [HTTP] or 443 [HTTPS]), it will try to contact Yahoo's servers directly thru secured ports. And those may have been blocked by your ISP.
More info: I don't do Yahoo, but do have both corporate MS Exchange and Google Mail accounts which work just fine on the iPad. Exchange uses incoming IMAP port 993 and outgoing SMTP port 587, both to outlook.office365.com. Gmail uses incoming IMAP port 993 to imap.googlemail.com but outgoing SMTP port 465 to smtp.googlemail.com. If any of these ports were blocked by my various ISPs, the mail wouldn't flow (and iOS wouldn't be able to complete the account setup).
Maybe someone can pipe in which ports and hosts are used for Yahoo Mail?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

More than one account on iPad air

All my family use the same ipad. How i can create a multiple account on iPad Air?

You can't. The iPad is a single user device like a cell phone.
You can however, share a general iTunes and App Store Apple Id for purchases and downloads, but that's about it.

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

You do not need to specify the type of account. If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

How to acivate autoresponder on all mail accounts on iPad? Any tips

Actually, Yahoo is Imap (as is google). but the point remains - if you are using a pop account, you need to delete the mail from each device.(pop is basically a one way system). If you have an imap account, changes you make of one device are communicated to all your other devices.

How do i get outlook mail account on macbook air

i have synced my yahoo mail account just fine but I am having trouble syncing my work email (which is outlook) to my mac book air. can someone please give me the correct steps in order to sync my work account? thanks

Outlook is a client for email.
Do you have Outlook installed on your MBA?
You probably mean that your work email is on an Exchange server.
Your IT department would have to provide a way to securely access the exchange server from outside of their internal network.

Trouble using Yahoo mail accounts on iPad

Hello,
I posted to another community as well, and we are working on this with no luck so far:
I have yahoo based e-mail accounts. I have them set to keep e-mails on server until I manually delete. This works on my computer and iPhone, but not on the iPad mini.
If I first open the e-mails on the iPhone or computer, then I can still see them on both of those devices, and the iPad. BUT if I open them first on the iPad, they never arrive on the iPhone or the computer.
The iPad is automatically set up with IMAP. I'd like to skip using iCloud if possible.
Any suggestions?

so the pad is using the yahoo account as an i map account. And yahoo is an imap service. Sounds like you have they phone and computer set up to use it as a pop account. I think you need to go one way or the other.
try this - write down all of your yahoo settings on the pad for furutre use. then delete the account from the pad.
Add a new account, but do not use the yahoo button, use the other button. Enter your yahoo credentials, and I believe at some point it will ask you if you want imap or pop. Choose pop, if that is what you want.

Please help me to stengthen out the problem and thank you so much for your time.

What type of email account - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
If an Exchange account, does your employer support accessing the account with an email client on a personal computer at home and/or with a device such as the iPad?

I can't configure my e-mail accounts on ipad

My iPad is connected to my university's Wiffi. I have Internet because I can browse websites. However, I can't configure my e-mail accounts on the iPad. When I bought the ipad, I was able to configure my e-mail accounts. When I was at school using the Wiffi it worked. Until today, I couldn't download my recent e-mail. Thus, I eliminated my e-mail accounts in order to fix the problem, but now I can set the accounts because the network connection, the IMAP server is not working.

OK. Calm down. Your answers are still a little confusing.
There is a difference between setting up an email account and setting up an Apple ID.
Are you trying to set up an iTunes account - that requires an Apple ID - Is that what you want to set up?
Or are you trying to configure your email account for the iPad - like gmail, AOL, Hotmail etc?
Please give clear answers or details as to exactly what you are trying to do and what you have already done. There are lots of knowledgeable people here that can help you.

You cannot change the color of text in Mail on an iOS device. You can only do Bold, Italics and Underline.

Two mail accounts on iPad, why does one keep failing?

Hello All,
We have an iPad with two mail accounts. Both worked fine for a few months, then, for no apparent reason, one email account stopped receiving email. The only way to get it working again was to delete the account and then add it again. We've done this several times now - and it seems to be more and more frequent.
The missing mails are visible on webmail so does not appear the be a provider issue. Both email accounts on the iPad are also with the same provider, which would also suggest this. No problem with the one email account at all!
any suggestions?
Thank You!

Have you tried resetting your password via My Virgin Media? The password must be:
6-10 characters
start with a letter
contain at least one digit
letters and numbers only, no symbols
Even if the existing pasword works in webmail, still reset it - it is not uncommon for it to be corrupted in the server record.

Migrate OS X Mail accounts to iPad

Graphics chipset committing sepuku on my wife's MBP (mid 2010 running OS X 10.6.8) and she's wanting to go to an iPad. Is there a thorough and effective migration path for the non-icloud accounts serviced by Mail in OS X to iOS Mail on an iPad? Her most used account is POP, not IMAP- thus the bulk of years of email are on her MBP, not a remote server.

Absent knowing what I'm doing, this is what I did:
Migrated user to my computer (MBP running Mavericks)
Let Mail upgrade mail (NO TURNING BACK without a backup- well documented one way path with Apple Mail)
Disabled specific POP mail account
Set up new IMAP account in Mail
Move folders and mailboxes to new account (easiest is from a backup) in Mail- all will upload to IMAP mail server.
Now fully IMAP email on server- can safely leave Apple Mail on iOS and computer OS X. Apple has been effectively persuading me to leave Mail since the dawn of OS X. It's a shame. It's an efficient email application.
