Mail Server Settings for Email Clients

There must be something wrong with my iCloud account but I can't figure out what it could be:
I can't add my iCloud account to third party clients (Postbox, Airmail & MailPilot) I get error messages.
I succesfully added my cousin's iCloud account in those apps, on my own iMac in all 3 apps, no problem at all, yet It doesn't work with my account even though I'm using the exact same settings in both cases!
I'm using the following settings
IMAP Server: imap.mail.me.com
IMAP Port: 993
IMAP Connection Type: TLS / SSL
IMAP Authentication: Auto Detect
SMTP Server: smtp.mail.me.com
SMTP Port: 587
SMTP Connection Type: Start TLS
SMTP Authentication: Auto Detect
I did peruse this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4864 and tried many changes, no can do! I also tried to replace ' imap.mail.me.com ' and ' smtp.mail.me.com ' with ' p07-imap.mail.me.com ' and ' p07-smtp.mail.me.com ' (I found ' p07 ' in Mail.app settings). I also tried p04, p99... Nothing seems to work.
But then again those 3 mail clients work instantly with anyone else's iClound account, on my very iMac! (which sports OS X 10.9.2)
Other than that, no problem using my iCloud account on MAS, iTunes Store, iTunes, iOS. iCloud.com...

They're Apples instructions, not mine.
What (if any) error messages do you get, and have you checked what is happening with Connection Doctor?

  • Changing Mail Server Settings for Other IMAP

    Hello,
             I'm an Admin for a treatment center and one of our psychiatrists has a BB Tour. He asked me the other day if I could set up his email account on our exchange server for him on his phone. Going through the mail setup wizard I selected "Other" account and set it up for IMAP and then it asked me for his email address and password. It took the domain name and then assumed the mail server names were as such. Now in a perfect world, this wouldnt be an issue. I recently took over for a complete moron and this guy has our MX records pointing to a 3rd party company where all of our outside emails go and then the Outlook clients are set up to pop this box in addition to the Exchange setup (I know its totally lame). What Ive done for everyone else is just setup a IMAP account using the server IP address and mail works fine for them. I cannot for the life of me find where I can actually edit the mail server names for the IMAP account I create on his BB Tour. Is this a limitation the phone? Or am I not looking in the right place. Thanks!
    Solved!

    Yup -- refer back to my first reply where I said to use the carrier BIS website...while I didn't say it quite so clearly, I did not say to use the on-device email setup wizards.
    The device interface to BIS (aka email setup wizards) and the carrier website interface to BIS have subtle differences. For what you need to do, you need to use the carrier website from a PC/browser. Here is the link:
    https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
    If you have not yet created BIS credentials, you will need to. I find it easier to first create those on the device interface and then use them in the web interface. Afterwards, you will have to use the credentials in the device interface, but there is a "remember me" box so you will only have to enter them once.
    Personally, I rarely use the device interface...a full keyboard, mouse, and monitor are so much simpler for doing things than a tiny BB screen/keyboard. But that's just me.
    Good luck!

  • Outgoing mail server settings for tiscali email

    I have a Nokia 5230 operating over the UK Vodafone network.
    I can receive emails on Nokia Email Messaging to my tiscali.co.uk email address but cannot send them.
    Please does anyone know what the outgoing mail server setting should be?  Presumably this should be a Nokia or Vodafone server rather than a tiscali one.
    Thanks

    @JohnMayhew
    Have you tried using your Vodafone 360 login to use the 360 outgoing server?
    -SMTP server:smtp.360.com
    -Username and Password are the same as for the 360 account
    -Requires SSL
    -Uses port 465

  • Mail server settings for second XServe

    Okay, I have the following problem in configuring mail service:
    One XServe we use is exclusively for our company, sites and mails. It uses our main domain for handling mails (SA: Mail service / Settings / General: domain name is "domain.com", host name is "domain.com").
    The domain has this MX record: "domain.com. IN MX 10 domain.com."
    The other XServe is intended for some of our clients. However... it has not a real domain assigned. Only the DNS server alias points to this server (dns2.domain.com, our first XServe is the primary DNS).
    So what do I type in at "domain name" and "host name" ? I guess it has to be filled - I would use "domain.com" as domain name and "dns2.domain.com" as host name.
    But... can users also use their own domain name as mail server when configuring their mail clients (of course, their domain would get a matching MX record in its DNS configuration) ? In this case I would use dns2.domain.com since it does not play a role.
    Can I proceed this way or is an other proceeding more recommended ?
    Do I need to add a MX record to our domain.com DNS config like "dns2 IN MX 10 domain.com." - not sure if this works overall ? Note that we don't want to send or receive mails by dns2.domain.com, it would just be that there is a value at SA mail service configuration.

    Confessed, I don't know anymore even it was just a few days ago... anyway, I can explain it, maybe it helps you:
    My problem was that I have two XServes - one with my company's domains and the other with domains and websites of my clients.
    On SA, mail service, tab "Settings", "General" you need to specify a domain name and a host name for the SMTP service.
    So far so good. On my first XServe (with my own domains), I simpy used "starenterprise.com" for both fields. Not really correct, but it works fine
    However for my second XServe I had no free domain that I could add there (and I refused to register one "just" for this purpose).
    So I finally decided to create a subdomain in my main domain's DNS records (in fact, since I run my own primary/secondary name servers, I simply used the alias for the second nameserver that resides on the second XServe).
    Therefore on the second XServe I used "dns2.starenterprise.com" for both, the domain and hostname. Again, not really correct, but it works.
    Since I have now some clients moved, I can state that anything works correctly.
    Originally I feared a bit that due to the "strange" domain/hosts the mail users could be punished by spam filtering software, but this was not the case.
    I hope I was of assistance. Let me know if anything is unclear

  • Mail cannot access the mail server, but other email clients do.

    My web host recently had extended problems with the mail server my sites are on. Now, Mail on my iMac Intel 27 Duo says it cannot access the server. However, Thunderbird and Entourage Mac have no problem. Sending from Mac Mail seems to be Ok as well. I've checked the settings over and over.  I received no system disk for this machine when I bought it. Do I need to reinstall Mail, and if so, how?
    The info below from Connection Doctor shows it appears to be trying to access through Port 25 but I have Mail set for 587 as instructed by the hosting company. I have renamed private info in the text below.
    READ Jan 16 09:56:42.941 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone]  -- host:mail.myemail.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x11f51aed0 -- thread:0x122c48a20

    However, Thunderbird and Entourage Mac have no problem. Sending from Mac Mail seems to be Ok as well. I've checked the settings over and over.
    Well if TB and Entourage can both send and receive but Mail can only send I can only conclude you missed something in you rechecking.  Of course with you being the only one checking you are going to make the same "mistake" and never no it.  So post the relevant POP server info for your ISP (edit out personal info and passwords of course):
    Account Info:
    Incoming Mail server:  pop server address
    User Name:             required user name POP server is looking for (censor)
    Password:              password required by POP server (censor)
    Advanced:
    Port:      995, 25, default?
    Use SSL:   yes or no
    Auth:      kind of authentication

  • Apple Mail Client not saving server settings for iCloud?

    I am trying to add my iCloud email to the Apple mail client.
    As I work through the wizard to setup all the necessary entries inclduing the for the Incoming and outgoing mail settings but when the account is finally created in the
    Mail client, the incoming mail server settings are not set and the box they are shown in is not available for editing.
    The mail client vs is 6.6
    I have tried this several times with the same end result, any help appreciated????

    You don't manually add your iCloud email account using Mountain Lion.  Instead, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your iCloud account and check Mail.  This will automatically add the account with the proper settings.

  • Mail server setup for LAN only (no Internet)

    Hello,
    I need a mail server on the solaris machine to send and receive messages vie local area network only.
    I got me a script for zfs scrub which sends the status via Email - however the machine is not connected to the internet.
    How can this be done?

    Do you need this mail server just for the zfs scrub reports or for all e-mail? How are clients currently getting e-mail? If you already have a mail server inside the company, or if you already have hosted mail server for company e-mail, that should be sufficient.
    If you do have an internal mail server, you should be able to set the DS parameter in sendmail.cf to specify the mail server. If you don't have an internal mail server, and you are all using external e-mail accounts, that should still work. By default, sendmail (if running) should be able to send e-mail outside the LAN. Sendmail uses DNS to locate the mail server for the recipient.
    You can verify that dns is working on the client with nslookup or dig
    -> nslookup -query=mx gmail.com

    I don't know if Solaris 11 Express has a companion CD. Solaris 10 does- and you can MAYBE install packages from it. On OpenSolaris there is the /usr/bin/updatemanager and /usr/bin/packagemanager commands. I suspect Solaris 11 Express also has the same. On OpenSolaris you could download packages from the OpenSolaris internet repository. It MAY include the IMAP server. (it does not for the OpenSolaris server I have.)
    Alternately, you could look for it on sunfreeware.com ( the Solaris 10 packages might work) or compile it from source.

  • Outgoing mail server settings

    How do I "un-gray" outgoing mail server settings?
    I have a feeling this is why i have never been able to send email? Not sure tho. Any suggestions? I use aol for server.

    well the frustrating thing is that it used to work but I recently had to change the password on my email and now I cannot get it working again.  Multiple android updates have obviously made it easier to use except for those of us using outgoing mail server port 2525.  I was hoping someone from verizon or someone with knowledge of android could help me.  Yes I can use a different outgoing mail server but then replies come in to a different account.

    Hello guys,
    I have found a solution: In ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Response/Http.php  linenumber 59:
    $ssl = $_SERVER['HTTPS']; is given an error.
    I did this:
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'off';
    $ssl = $_SERVER['HTTPS'];
    So add this line....
    And it works...
    Hope it works for you too.
