Mail port number won't hold.  Received instructions from Comporium to change port number to 465, SSL checked and password required.  Now port reverts to 110 when quitting mail and reopening.

OS X Yosemite on MacBook.  Mail port number will not hold.  Changed mail account info as instructed by Comporium, including changing port to 465, use SSL and password.  Now the port reverts to 110 when Mail app is closed and reopened; the entered port number - 465 - will not hold.

OK folks, I think we have a winner.
I finally got frustrated so I sponsored a conference call with a Palm Level 3 tech support guy, the Telus rep and a Bell rep.  We were on hold for a total of like 45 minutes as I chained the call along and finally got everyone on the same line.
So here's the deal: The setup has to be done manually as thepoet suggested.  The incoming server is OK as imap and imap.telus.net with no encryption.  The outgoing server has to be set to point to mail.1xbell.ca with NO authentication, port 25 and no encryption.  The initial Bell tech support guy was quite close to the solution, just the wrong port number and the wrong sequence of setting it up.
I have been able to send successfully, but want to try a couple of more things before I declare it a complete success.
Thanks for your help Poet, much appreciate your persistance.

    HI Emmet,
    thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
    I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
    So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
    i hope that helps anyone out there also!
    Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.    
    Thanks again, much appreciated.

    I tried to share a photo using e-mail and when i set up my gmail account I typed in the wrong user name and password.
    Now I can't send a photo because i get an error message saying the user name and password do not match.
    How do i save a new gmail user name and password??

    iPhoto Menu ->

    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

    I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. 
    If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad.  Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • I've recently changed my network provider. iTunes recognized the new number and amended it in iTunes. My original number is now available but iTunes won't accept it or allow me to change the number on the device. How can I resolve this?

    Hi Guys
    I have just changed my telophone provider in the UK from )2. To transfer the number, which I wanted to retain, took 24 hours and I was given a new number by the new provider Virgin Mobile. To unblock my iPhone I had to connect it to iTunes, which recognised my device and changed the telephone number. 24 hours later, my old number returned but iTunes won't recognise the device or allow me to change the number back to the original. How do I reslove this?
    Many thanks ;-)

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Mac Mail 5.3 Won't attach PDFs Launched from Acrobat or MYOB

    I thought this was an Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 issue - when I open a PDF in Acrobat and click "Share" > "Attach To Email" - Mac Mail does launch but the new email window is blank and I get an error message in Adobe Acrobat "An error occurred while trying to create a mail document.  Acrobat is unable to complete your request.". So I posted this originally on the Adobe community forum.
    However, I just tried to send a pdf straight out of my MYOB accounting software and the same thing happened.
    Never had any issues before, and send pdfs all day every day this way.
    Have cleared all cache in all applications.
    Have cleared font cache.
    Have run Disk Doctor and repaired disk permissions.
    Trying to avoid reinstalling software.
    Anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
    [OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
    I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

  • TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.
    iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.3

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

  • When receiving calls from known contact, why only number displayed?

    How do I get the 4S to display known contacts when receiving a call?

    Hi Ishy7951 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    This typically indicates that you do not have caller ID service enabled on your phone plan.  Please contact your wireless service provider for more information.

  • Help! I can email when I am in my gmail web world, but cannot get my gmail default email to work.   I have recently disabled my exchange email - and did select gmail as my default.  When I try and use the mail icon, my email doesn't work.  HELP!

    How can I get my default email to work on my iPad?  Gmail in my browser is fine, but I can't send anything if I am not in gmail.  Why is my mail icon not working?

    You probably messed up the password/ server set up.  Delete the account from the pad, and re enter it.  Pay real close attention to the password entry. Upper lower case etc.   if they ask you for an optional name a second time, fill it in.  G mail works fine on mine.

  • Mail 5.3 won't receive Gmail (only 1 of 4 accounts!)

    I'm running OSX 10.7.4 on a MBP Retina (can't update OSX due to some music software compatabilty issues).
    Using Mac Mail 5.3.
    I have 4 GMail accounts that I use all in Mac Mail.  All of a sudden 3 days ago, one of them stopped receiving mail, though it will still send it just fine.  All of the settings are the exact same.  When I log onto Gmail with a web browser, all my email is there, and it's working fine on my iPhone.  In my gmail settings, POP mail is enabled as it always has been.  Nothing has changed!!
    Can anyone help?

    My IMAP Gmail stopped working Jan 22 2013. Gmail POP and other email accounts worked.I have Lion on a 2012 Macbook Pro.
    In the end, after trying many websites, I just clicked the tilde (~) next to the Gmail Imap account and it downloaded two weeks worth of mail. It took a few minutes with the grey spinning wheel but finally came through.
