Mail Accounts syncing not working

When I got my iPhone I originally setup access to one of my mail accounts directly on the device, so never came across this problem. When I recently set iTunes to "Sync selected Mail accounts" and added my other accounts, I came across some problems.
First of all, I got the "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone… because an error occurred remapping record identifiers."
I got around this by painstakingly adding only 1 account at a time, then syncing, then adding another account, then syncing, etc.
I've kept "Sync selected Mail accounts" checked, but now every so often when I sync my iPhone (by docking it) I'll lose ALL my mail settings on the device. Of course, I don't usually find this out until I'm away from my computer and try to use Mail on the iPhone
Has anyone else come across this problem (disappearing Mail settings?) or a fix?
I've already tried restoring the iPhone, but this problem persists.
For now, I am configuring Mail manually on the iPhone and leaving mail accounts syncing in iTunes off.

Check Damon's response in this thread with instructions for resetting the sync history on your Mac.

If this is successful, and the email account settings for selected email accounts are successfully transferred to your iPhone, you can deselect this option. The sync process for email account settings is in one direction only - from your computer to your iPhone. Unless a change is made to the settings for an account on your computer that you want reflected on your iPhone, there is no reason to continue to sync email account settings every time you sync.

My Comcast Mail account is not working on all three devices

Good Morning!
Last night I plugged in my IPhone and IPad for charging and syncing. This morning my Comcast mail account is not working on my MAC, IPad and IPhone.
I have deleted the acount on all three devices and set up a "new" account. Did not work. One message I receive is check the mail servicer. I have made sure the correct info is entered. My GMail and Mac email are working.
Please help

Problem with Comcast since last night. They say it won't be solved til after 8 tonight.
Thank you

Since the update my imap mail account does not work

Well, it still owrks on my imac but not on iphone or ipad. Settings are exactly the same on all three. I deleted the mail account on the ipad and ipone and re-set them up but still doesnt work. All I get is the spinner and mail hangs forever eventually it says that the mail server is not responding and to verify that Ive entred the correct account info in the mail settings. I have! Several times....
Thank you in advance for any insight that is offered

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

My iCloud mail account is not working.

I checked the settings and confirmed the password. Then I got a message that the Incoming Mail Server can't be blank. However, it is greyed out and I can't change it. Any ideas?
I read somewhere on the net that someone deleted their iCloud mail account and recreated it and that worked for them. I can't delete mine though.

Duh! Stupid me. I tried my new Apple password and now its working.

My icloud Mail Account is not working anymore

In the preferences the Mail host is mail.example.com, but grey out, I can not edit it. Any guesses? The mail domain is me.com

I was afraid because the system asked me if I want to delete all contacts and so on on this device :-( But I did.
After I logged in again icloud was not able to create mail and notes. I added an account manualy in the mail , an wonder oh wonder , everything was back again :-) thank you

Sync says it is working, but Mail account is not imported to iPhone

So I this problem with syncing my basic mail account with my iPhone. It is an IMAP mail server account and it works fine on my Macbook. I have the setting in iTunes showing that the sync should include the one mail account on the Macbook (it is checked off).. When I performa sync, it says that it is syncing and I do no get any error messages.. but once done, the account does not show up on my iPhone.
I have had to add the account manually to iPhone in the meantime. But my mobile me account is not working as I would expect and I think it comes down to the sync not happening correctly in the first place.
Any idea what could be causing this issue with me not syncing properly?

What is the issue with the MobileMe account?
Try the Advanced option on the Info tab which allows you to replace email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from your MacBook.
If that does not work try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preference window, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Apple mail - my .me account is not working

my .me account is not working in Apple mail
but it is working in ios
and I can log into icloud
2 computers can't log into apple mail - me account
others are fine
What's up?
=========
I just realized that I recently started using the icloud keychain for IOS - could that have messed up my apple mail?

I have a feeling that they stopped support on the @me emails. I have the 2011 MacBook Pro and before they changed over to iCloud and started using your regular email (and away from the apple logins and usernames) this same laptop could send emails. I find today after wanting to email myself something that I couldn't because my "incoming server" was not working or inactive as it says on my Account preferences. I just deleted the MobileMe account info since it wouldnt recognize my password and used the iCloud one instead. Hopefully Im wrong since I have emails I need to retrieve from MobileMe if it IS going away or gone

Secondary e-mail account doesn't work

I noticed today that my Secondary e-mail account wasn't working. My mobile Me account works. The other account has lost its draft, send, trash icons. When you try to check mail on that account the phone reverts to the home screen. I have synced, restored, deleted the secondary account and created a new one. The messages can be received/sent but not viewed. That account on my mac works great. During the restore process it notifies me that there is a file missing but doesn't say which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

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.

When I click on the mail icon on my iPad 2 the mail accounts do not show up.

iPad 2 32GB Version 8.1.1
When I click on the Mail icon, the mail accounts do not appear. The screen is blank except in the he upper right corner of the screen I can see mini icons: flag, folder, file box, arrow, and pad/pencil mini icon.
I've been having a number of issues with Facebook ever since I upgraded to Version 8, so I don't know if this is a version issue or something else.
I've tried rebooting/restarting, etc. Nada.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

Close all apps and then reset the iPad. If that does work, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again.
FWIW, I don't use Facebook at all, the app or in a browser, but I have read more that a few posts here where people that use the app all the time claim that is very buggy and causes all sorts of problems for them. Maybe closing the app along with the reset will help.

You can only purchase apps and other media for the county's sore in which yu are located. You account, included payment method, also must be associated with that country.
Sam applies for updating apps. Note that not all apps are available in all country so y will not be able to update an app if you are in another country and that app is not available in that country or your account is not associated with that country.
You can change the country and other things by:
