Mail and different isp's

I have a dot mac account, roadrunner and bellsouth. I can recieve from all three, but can only send mail from dotmac. Please help! I have configured each with its own incoming and outgoing server as described by the providers. I've spent 40 minutes on the phone with bellsouth trying to figure out the problem...I would appreciate any suggestions.

Erline,
my problems began a bit like yours.
After much fiddling with settings I got mail sending OK, but then receiving became a problem, except from the mac.com account.
I then trashed the Mail Account settings, and started again.
That worked fine for about a week, but it's now stopped receiving from my ISP address again, but still receives from mac.com (via the ISP server!).
I think there's a bug in "Tiger", from other comments posted here....
I also seem to have to delete the Spam and read mail several times over...
Very frustrating!

Can't send or receive mail at different ISP

I’m using Mail 1.3 (v606/624).
When I’m at home – using my wireless Airport connection with my ISP - I am able to access my personal POP mail account (which I have through my ISP) and my school POP mail account on my iBook.
When I go to my school (job) – using the school’s wireless connection with the school’s ISP – I am only able to connect (send/receive) to my school account. When trying to access my personal mail account, I am not able to make connection with their incoming or outgoing mail server.
Is this problem unique to me or is this a normal situation? Is there something wrong with how I have configured the account in Mail? Is there something I need to do to be able to receive/send from my personal account at my school?
I haven’t been able to receive a satisfactory reply from my ISP as to why I can’t connect to their servers while using the ISP from my school.
A similar thing happened last summer when trying to access personal mail account from a hotel which offered wireless internet connection.
Any suggestions/help would be welcome.

Generally, you should be able to connect to and check any email account's incoming mail server to download new messages from any internet connection but depending on the ISP used to connect to the internect at that time, most prevent or have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP.
Since you have this problem when connected to the internet via the WiFi connection at school, you need to check with the school regarding any restructions and not with your ISP.

I've set up email on my iPad (talk mails when connected to my home router and ISP. When connected to a router at another location with a different ISP I can receive mail but not send it. Is there any way round this

HT204053 Is it possible to have two (or more) different icloud mail accounts (not alias) under the same apple id? If not what is you best advice for all family members to have their own e-mail and still share the purchases under the same apple id. Thanks

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either.

This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again. I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them! Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text? These were nothing crazy. One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use! HELP! Now I am worried I am missing important emails!

Greetings Val Val,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not receiving some email from an account that you have set up on your Mac. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.

Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

How to separate joint Apple ID's account using different mails and passwords

How to separate joint Apple ID's account using different mails and passwords

Hello ROOOS,
When you speak of a joint Apple ID account it seems you mean a shared Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
To eliminate the share one will keep it and the others will create their own Apple IDs.

Keeping BT email address and using a different ISP...

Is it possible to do this with the new BT email service?
Someone on the BT Residential Customer Support Community Forum managed to subscribe to a premium BT email service, keep their existing btinternet.com address for a small fee, and then migrate to a different ISP.
Clearly, ISPs will discourage a lot their customers from migrating if they cannot keep their existing email addresses.
Might that also be seen as some form of unfair practice, in terms of restricting competition?

Hi.
The Premium email service is not ceasing, otherwise "they" wouldn't be informing those on old legacy payg or basic email to either move the address to their BT broadband account (if relevant) or pay 1.60 to keep the address.
This service has been around for years.
Not sure your last comments are relevant - since it's up to the user to move as they wish. Obviously an ISP email tie-in is, however, relevant - but this doesn't stop BTinternet users from keeping their address if they move elsewhere (for that fee). I don't know if other ISPs have this sort of facility.
If people chop & change frequently, then it would make sense to only use a non ISP email address, e.g. their own domain, gmail, hotmail, (even Yahoo) if they so wish.

Upgrade to ios 5 deleted some important e-mails and now won't retrieve e-mail from ISP???

Once we upgraded to the new ios 5 we lost e-mails on both the iPad and also on the iMac. It also has stopped being able to get new e-mail from my isp Comcast. It has the little circle running up in the top corner but can't get e-mail even though it still has all the isp info there including smtp and passwords etc. etc.

I updated my wife's 3GS to 5.0.1 and some of her emails were deleted, and it will not receive any email from the server either. My sister had no problems until she updated to 5.0.1 either. After it, her 4 was going very slow, wouldn't make any sounds for notifications, and apple tech walked her through everything. She received a new iPhone 4 from the apple store, and it did the exact same thing. Apple's answer was it is a hardware fault. It seems like all around the new update has more problems than it fixes.

Different addresses on mail and entourage

Hello,
Is it possible to have both mail and entourage running on the same machine but have each application assigned to different email addresses? I am a bit on the neurotic side and would like to have mail for my mac account but entourage for my yahoo account.
Thanks

Of course you can! So long as you have different mailboxes, otherwise you'll be downloading all the mail from the same account, and the other mail program will get nothing.

Torch Sends E-mail and Appointments Differently

My Torch 9850 has one e-mail account using BIS.
When I send an e-mail from the Torch, it arrives at the PC from My Name. When I open the message it shows My Name <myname@mydomain>.
When I invite someone to an appointment from the Torch, it arrives only as myname@mydomain.
Is there a setting on the Torch that will allow both direct e-mails and invitations to be sent with the same information, so the recipient will see My Name?
Thanks.

eelkes,
Does yours throw a sync conflict every time you sync with BlackBerry Desktop Software because the attendees list is different?
If so, this has been bugging me for months!
I hope someone has the answer. The invitation should have the same header as the primary e-mail account so sync's aren't stopped by different attendees lists. Turning off conflict resolution notification isn't an option.

How can I temporarily change to a different ISP and email account ?

I currently use Earthlink DSL with the modem connected by ethernet cable for my email and internet access . . . my brother has a Windows XP PC connected by cable modem, his ISP is Adelphia Cable . . . he is sick of years of Windows problems and ready to consider a Mac so since I have 2 older iMacs I want to lend him one to learn Leopard on and try out for a while . . . how do I set it up for his ISP's internet connection and email account ? . . . I need to keep all my Earthlink account settings intact for when he gives it back . . . do I need to temporarily add a new user with full privileges and separate ISP / email ? . . . or can I set up a secondary ISP / email account for myself as Administrator but enter all his email info instead of mine ? . . . thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks Larry . . . my brother and I do not use wireless, I am planning to shut down his PC, turn off his cable modem, switch the cable from the PC to my iMac, turn the cable modem back on, and see what happens when I boot up . . . when I did an Erase & Install of Leopard on this G5 iMac I chose DSL Modem during Setup Assistant and was instantly online with Earthlink . . . so I'm hoping the iMac will somehow recognize my brother's Adelphia Cable connection . . . your instructions for setting up his email are what I figured I would need to do so I hope he knows where to find all the necessary info on his PC because I know nothing about Windows XP.

My one AOL address is different on Mail and on Safari which continually times out.

Mail on Macbook will not open. When it is open, it won't quit.
Email on locked network on Safari continually times out. If I unplug and replug it connects.
