Mail account problem.

This mail was sent to apple as feedback but also want others to read it and tell me their experiences:
Hello dear.
I want to suggest you to enable editing/reorder Mail accounts. The problem is that when I created cloud account and added it to mail accounts, after that i added my another outlook account. So, on the top of accounts is iCloud account, then my outlook. Agin after few days I decided to ad my main Gmail account to the list, so the list became by this way:
1. iCloud
2. Outlook
3. Gmail
by this I did not like it, and as I cannot edit this, I went to delete Outlook account so when I add it again, it will be on the last place. BUT IT DID NOT! It went again to the second place for no reason?! As I can see, all it does is it stays on the same place as I added it first time. I really want to change this so that I have:
1. iCloud
2. Gmail
3. Outlook.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks for reading.

I changed some details of my mail-account. Now, the mails in the inbox which I got before the change are empty and I cannot read them anymore. Additionally they are no longer in the library. What can I do to get them back?
If you are using Apple's Mail program, post in the OS Mail forum of whichever OS is currently installed on your MBP. Your problem has nothing to do w/your MBP. It's an OS and/or email program problem.
If using a 3rd party email program, please advise which one. Thank you.

Mail e-mail account problem

I have a very annoying problem. (I specify that my preference setting (under "Composing") is "Send new messages from Account of selected mailbox")
For all the emails that are local ("ON MY MAC") classified in folders when I hit "Reply", the new e-mail is sent from my .mac account and not the e-mail account of the currently selected message.
Also, if I'm in any local folder and I compose a new e-mail, it is composed by my .mac account.
Very annoying. In previous OS versions this worked perfectly.
I noticed that if I right-click on a local 'On My Mac' folder and do a "Get Account Info", the displayed Account is always iCloud. Could this be the reason? Is there an e-mail Account linked to a local folder? (Can't see the reason why because it's local). If this is the case how can I change the Account linked to a folder?
Any idea that could help me?
Thanks
Laurent

If you sign into your Gmail account on your PC, on your mail page click on the Settings link on the right of the page; this will take you to the Settings page where you can click on the POP and Forwarding link---on the next page you can choose to enable IMAP and/or POP forwarding and save these settings.If you don't enable these features in your account, you will not be able to use the Gmail client on your phone.Hotmail and Gmail may well be available in India, but whether they are accessible via mobile email servers is another matter.You can of course access them by using your phone's browser.As for SE's settings download service, it's no longer operational, as has been recently stated on this forum.

Secondary e-mail account problem - Comcast

Hi,
I am using Mac OS X.4 and can't get my secondary e-mail account to send mail to my desktop email (using Mail client). I have set the account up exactly as I did the primary account. However, when I send test mail to my secondary account, it ONLY goes to my Web Mail. Before switching to Comcast, I had AT&T and had this exact same problem. After long hours and many calls to tech support, it was resolved, but I don't know what they did.
So to recap: my test email to my secondary account only goes to my Web Mail, but does not come into my Mail client.
The primary account is working fine. I have had a ticket with Comcast Tech Support for 2 days, but no help from them as yet.
Can someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Create your MobileMe account on your iPhone and turn Contacts and Calendars on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account settings on your iPhone. If you have a MobileMe account and are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, you don't need to sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
Try syncing iTunes content including the music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps you want transferred/installed on your iPhone, but don't select anything under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
If no problems with this, try selecting the single iPhoto album you want transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If the same error message is provided, this narrows it down to transferring photos only which means there is a problem with what is called the iPod Photo Cache, which can be deleted from iPhoto.

Hub E-mail Accounts Problem

Hi Folks,
my HUB is weard: I had the first impression that my hb has been frozen, so I restarted and pulled the battery etc. But I ignored the fact that after first configuration, I have to wait a night with active WLAN to let the Z10 sync with the IMAP accounts, so it would be working normaly and not draining the battery. Now, because I thought one of my e-mail accounts would freeze my HUB, I deleted it and set it up again. Ok, now I got it twice in the hub, one where I had it configured to show ALL e-mails ever and one only with 90 days. The deleted one which should show ALL emails, just tells me it cannot display the message, the other one runs just fine. In Settings / accounts, I got only theworking accounts and not this one I had deleted. Now, how do I get rid of the one I had deleted in the HUB???
Cu, Torben

The other option is to wipe the device and start over. If your contacts and calendar are synced to your email it's not a big deal. If you have data that is only contained in a backup then it could be a problem. I would make a full backup before you wipe, though, just in case you want to restore.

Mail accounts problem

I have both a iCloud and a gmail account. After upgrading to Yosemite email was working fine till a few days ago. At that point I could not send emails using my gmail account. I decided to delete and then add my gmail account. When deleting it told me that there were other apps that would be affected. I continued thinking that I could relink these apps to my gmail. Now I go to mail and to add account. I then select gmail which opens and I select Google then continue. It has my name already entered so I then enter both my gmail address and password and click setup. The screen reloads almost instantly with both my email address and password empty. I can't get pass that point. Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks

Fixed my problem. Restarted the computer and when into email. A screen showed up and showed me my accounts with gmail being offline. I clicked on it and selected mail and alls fine now. I also did the following. This fixed my original problem. Thats to who posted this
Quit mail
Open up Finder
In the Finder menu bar select Go > Go to folder
type in ~/Library and click Go (on my kb the "~" is next to the left shift key)
Open the folder Mail
Open the folder V2
Open the folder MailData
Double click to open Accounts.plist (should open in TextEdit)
Find the block of data that contains the offending mail account
Find the line within this block that says <key>UserAllowsInsecureAuthentication</key>
Change the line below this from <false/> to <true/>
Quit TextEdit
Restart mail

Setting up e-mail account problems.

Hi, I’ve been trying to set up a second e-mail account on my macbook. The e-mail id is [email protected] I assume I must be doing something wrong as I keep getting the following message;
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Webmail” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.cavinderbydesign.com” on port 143 timed out.
Could you please advise me as to what the error might be? I sent a test message to [email protected] and it was delivered as I checked the account via webmail.

Well you have already verified that the account works by checking on webmail.
IMAP usually works on port 443 not 143 so you may want to check it’s trying to connect on the correct port.
Do you know the IP address of the sever? Use the IP address instead of the name, if you do not know the IP address just ping the name to get the IP address.

Mail account problems

Hi, I suddenly canot get email on my iPhone or MacBook via iCloud. I have changed my password to something new to try to fix the problem but it still is not working. I also have a .me account. How can I fix my email accounts?

There are a few of us, it has been out since last night. My ipads cant even talk to the ios upgrade server without some hand tweaked dns addresses.
Here is the discussion of us without icloude mail. I just switched off of gmail 2 days ago-- what a mistake.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I have two google mail accounts, one is work, one is home. I prefer to keep things separate. On my iPad, formerly had no problem checking each account. Now when I log into either account, my poor iPad acts like its spinning its head.

I have two google email accounts - one is personal, the other professional. I like them being separate. Until a few days ago, my ipad could pull up either account I needed at the time. Now, though, when I try to pull up either account after signing in, the line above the blue line (sorry I'm new to this and don't know the terms) switches rapidly between the two account names and nothing appears below where the mail should be. What do I do? Thanks

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Problem with yahoo! SMTP POP server mail account on new upgraded iphone 4.3.5

PLEASE HELP!
I am a California AT&T wireless customer with a new iphone 4 on the iOS 4.3.5 upgraded system and suddenly I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo! email account and have it configured to send/receive my emails. I was able to successfully add my gmail and Microsoft exchange server account, but only problems with the Yahoo! I checked all the settings, have done several add/delete accounts, restore network settings, and retry/reboots, to no avail. This is a seriously annoying problem, it worked with the pre-upgraded older version fine without any problems ever. I continually get the same error message: SERVER UNAVAILABLE, please try again later.
I know this error is inaccurate because all my other email accounts work fine as well as Safari and all other internet connections and apps. It is not a phone thing, it is some yahoo and upgraded software incompatibility issue that no one seems to have resolved yet.
This is a SMTP PUSH POP account, and I have literally tried everything. I have tried all the fixes while connected to wifi, and then tried them just via my 3G cell network connection. I read on a message board about turning on/off SSL, could someone tell me how to do that? When I go into to:
settings>mail accounts>outgoing mail server SMTP>Yahoo! SMTP, everything is grayed out and I can't change any ports or SSL.
When I try to manually add a server, which I was told was a fix, I don't know what to type into the host name. Does anyone know how to help?
I have seen this problems on numerous message boards, even in the UK. I contacted Apple Support, with no success in resolving this problem, had an open case for several days contacted several supervisor personnel, all advised me to contact Yahoo! who do not offer customer care via telephone only online, and nothing there helped to resolve my issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
THANKS

Yahoo's servers have been having problems off and on now for close to a month if not longer. There's not much you can do about it except talk to Yahoo, which is kind of like beating your head against a wall. They've had problems like this off and on since as far back as the mid 90's. I gave up on them long ago. Just convert to something else and dump them. It's not worth the headache.

STRANGE PROBLEM with "Create New Mail Account.scpt" when creating POP acct.

I am using "Create New Mail Account.scpt" to create a POP account. It creates the account successfully. It fetches the mails successfully. Now the problem begins. After fetching all the mails once if u click "Get Mail" in mac mail, it fetches all the emails again and has now 1 original and 1 copy of the email set which is on the server. I just need 1 copy of the mail set not multiple. Please give me a solution or direct me to a help.
Thanks

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.

Well, the other person said theirs was working now. On yours let's try this...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.

I just received my Droid 2 and having a problems with having multiple e-mail accounts.
My original droid worked fine with all of this.
I have 2 different personal e-mail accounts setup.
When I click e-mail, it just defaults to the default e-mail address and I have no way of switching accounts. I have to change the default e-mail account in order to view the other account.
Along with having a shortcut on the home page to each e-mail account, it always just goes to the default one and no way of adding a shortcut to both.
When I did this on the original droid, i could choose which e-mail account I wanted a shortcut for and could obviously have both on the home screen.
I also have found no way to NAME the accounts, ex. Comcast & Work.
That way I could distinguish the difference between the 2 on my home screen even if I could get a shortcut to both.
not sure how this could be overlooked but I sure dont think there is a way to make this happen.
Also, what is with 2.2 System and not allowing you to put it in silent mode?
I updated my original Droid to 2.2 and could no longer make it silent with the volume button on side or going into the sound settings and changing it to silent, it would always stay on vibrate.
And now it does the same thing with Droid 2. I cant make it silent at all.
Any ideas on either issue

ok I got the silent problem fixed.
The update changed vibrate to be always, even when on Silent mode.
The e-mail problem however is stll an issue and I realy hope they release an update to fix this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with 2 e-mail accounts on their droid.
I never had an original Droid, so I can;t compare to what was on that. For me, I am using the "Messaging" app - it seems to be set up for multiple e-mail accounts better than the email app. Messaging is the one recommended by the manufacturer - give that a try.

Mail account problem.
