Mail setup problems on iPhone 6

Just got a new iPhone 6 and I am having problems getting mail setup and working properly with my 4 comcast POP accounts. The first one set up fine and let me select POP as the account type. The next two verified, but as IMAP accounts and gave me no choice to set them up as POP accounts. The fourth did give me the choice of a POP account. Although they all verified, no mail is coming through. I had no problems with my iPad Air 2, or my iPod, so something must be different on the phone.

Hello gbol,
I understand you are having trouble setting up four POP email accounts on your iPhone 6. Have you tried to back up your iPad Air to iCloud and restore your new iPhone from that backup? That may be one way to resolve this issue.

New Mail notification problem on iPhone

I've noticed lately that when I get an email (mobileme account) it stays as "new" on my iPhone even if I've looked at it on my mac. Only when I open the mail app on my iPhone does it update. It didn't always do this, so I don't know why it's happening. I have my mobileme account set to push. Any ideas?

Got my answer from Apple today:

MAIL setup problems?

My first iPhone will be the new one. Please address my concern with setting up my e-mail accounts, specifically that my two sources of e-mail are both said to be "troublesome" for the iPhone. I use RoadRunner and Microsoft's "Live" (formerly Hotmail) services.
Both accounts are POP and are functioning normally as configured on both my iMac and MacBook, so I believe it a simple operation to get started during my initial iPhone 4 setup. However, when I ask people at the Apple store (physical) and at AT&T, I get frowns, plus the "Well, you may have problems there. . ."
Big question, of course, is what kind of problems, why are they problems, and how can I avoid or lessen the impact of them? Going forward, I will anticipate adding a third source of e-mail, plus one or two from my own Website's host (Bluehost).
Your help is appreciated.

Nobody will be able to comment on how Mail operates on the new iPhone until iOS4 is released on June 21st.
Mail has undergone many changes in the new software so it's impossible to say

E-mail encondig problems on iPhone 2.1

Hello.
The problem is, when i'm replying to message, that was send from Microsoft Outlook 2003, for example, (PC Version on WIndows XP SP2), the sender recives my reply in other, unreadable encoding, that was original massage, but on my iPhone or Mac if i look in send items folder (since I use IMAP) the massages are readable, but when sender forward the unredable massage back to my, it even can't be read on both, iphone or Mac. is there any way to change mail encoding in iPhone??

Far below is the complete e-mail header (with my sending/receiving accounts disguised), sent from an Iphone (Firmware = 2.1) at the ATT store today. Note that I sent the e-mail from my GMail account to my Hotmail account. The cyrillic-containing e-mail received in my Hotmail account was successfully and automatically read with Outlook Express 6.00. E-mail format received was UTF-8. Note that Firmware 2.0 did not send cyrillic in a workable encoding.
Note that for UTF-8 (from Wikipedia): "UTF-8 can encode any Unicode character, avoiding the need to figure out and set a "code page" or otherwise indicate what character set is in use, and allowing output in multiple languages at the same time."
So it seems like UTF-8 is a good choice. Now I feel safe to buy an Iphone 3g next week.
Enjoy

E-mail Setup Problem - Please help

Hi All. I set up two e-mail accounts (gmail) on my Curve using the Email Setup in the Setup Wizard. It works fine except I noticed one thing: every incoming e-mail shows another contact person's address in the TO line. When I'm in Gmail, the e-mails are only addressed to me. When I retrieve them from Blackberry, I keep seeing this person's name, and want to know if he's somehow receiving my e-mails every time it loads in my Blackberry? How to I turn it off?
I'm assuming he's not getting them, because I haven't heard from him. But he's a work acquaintance who I don't know well enough to ask him if he's receiving these messages.
Please let me know if there's a way to resolve this in my e-mail settings or something. Thanks!
Stephanie

Have you tried deleting the gmail account and readding it back?

Mail setup problem

I've had my macbook since November and have had no problems with Mail. Last night I opened it to check emails on two accounts and only one would work. Tried setting up the account again and get the following message "Logging in to the Gmail IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” failed." The username and password is correct.
I deleted the other account and set it up again and that works fine.

I faced this annoying problem before.
The solution is adding an yahoo mailbox on your phone first. By doing this, you have registered a Nokia Messaging account with that yahoo email address. Then try adding your gmail mailbox again. The wizard will ask you to use the same Nokia Messaging account or create a seperate one, you have to choose to use the same. Now your newly added gmail mailbox will work normally. And you can delete that yahoo mailbox w/o problems.

Mail Setup Problem - Postfix error for username

I set up some users with a structured userid of say xxxxx001 etc. For the email id I user their names separated by an underscore eg [email protected] I get my mail clients to logon to our server's IMAP service using the xxxx001 type of id with MD5 security and IMAP works fine. I also get them to logon to SMTP with the same id and security protocol but keep getting a postfix error: od[getpwnam_ext] no record for user fred_bloggs. As a test I setup a dummy user with the network id and first part of email address the same and that works fine. Could someone enighten me as to what is happening please? Is it the case that if I have a different network id and first part of email address that I need to add an alias, I ask because that seems to work aswell, however, it does seem odd that such action would be rquired. Any help gratefully received.

Did you sign up for a .Mac trial account which is provided with each new Mac purchase and is good for 60 days or do you already have a .Mac paid account?
If not, you cannot create and access a .Mac account.
.Mac is the right account type if you have a .Mac account. With the Mail application your can create/access a .Mac account as a .Mac type account (which is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way), IMAP or POP and you can create a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account with other email clients on your Mac or on a Windows PC.
I access my .Mac account as a .Mac type with Mail on my Mac and as an IMAP account with Outlook Express on my Windows PC at work. This way, I can keep all server stored mailboxes synchronized with both email clients.

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?

Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone and many of my settings have defaulted. Was this set by my business or by exchange?

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone to acces smy business emails and many of my settings have defaulted. As an example, my passcode has defaulted to a minimum of 6 digits and my phone will erase all data after 10 failed attempts. These are now greyed out and I cannot change them.
Is this a default set by Apple/Microsoft?
Or was this a setting enforced by my company, whose mail exchange I am accessing?

ditto what KT said...the passcode requirement enables the encryption of the local storage of your device and auditing of that policy ..it protects your organization AND you from potential data loss and a mandatory reporting obligation..imagine how miserable it would be to see the name of your organization on the front page of your local newspaper with a story about data loss....every IT and risk management department's worst nightmare

New iPhone 5 - internet and mail reception problems?

I just acquired a new iPhone 5. I have regular reception internet and mail reception problems. The internet on both Wifi and provider network drops out on a regular basis, although reception signals of both wifi and network are strong. When turning off the phone and restarting the internet comes back for a short while and loses connection again. Has somebody else experience similar difficiulties, If yes how can this be fixed.

Yahoo Mail problems on IPhone

Was working then two days ago all of a sudden stopped working. I did not change my password. I have since used Yahoo's web based account (regular not plus). My password consists of only letters and numbers. I have tried deleting and recreating. I get messages saying wrong password or username. I have typed in 5 times and yes I have logged of on Web based mail and logged in typing in the same exact words and it works. I have also gotten a error message of something talking about imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. ANY IDEAS??

Well, I've also been dealing with this strange problem of being unable to make Yahoo Mail work on my iphone. I've never had any problems until last Friday 3-27-09. I changed my password, I've attempted setting up Yahoo Mail on another iphone. Symptom does not change. At first, my account would authenticate, but then when I would go in to check in Mail, message would appear saying my password was incorrect. One thing I've also noticed, and I'm wondering if these problems correlate in some way, is that my Yahoo Messenger application on my desktop computer is also exhibiting the same sign-on problem. I really think this may be a Yahoo issue. But I've been in contact with one of their support bot's. They stated on a previous email that this is a known issue with Messenger. For my Iphone problem, they just redirect me to some general mobile Yahoo website that is pretty much useless to me. I've troubleshooted this issue enough to be confident that it is more complex and that it's not me entering in the wrong password and that it is not an Iphone settings problem. I opened a new Yahoo email ID, and was able to set it up successfully on the Iphone. It seems to me that some accounts may be affect and may not be a global "Yahoo Server" problem. Any other tips or advice would help here....

POP mail setup no longer an option on iPhone?

My iPhone is forcing IMAP over POP (no toggle). My provider allows POP. How do I set up POP? There is no "POP vs. IMAP" toggle switch in Mail setup.

I see on their technical support site that they recommend using IMAP and I understand that, but they do offer POP. They show the settings for POP here.
https://www.fastmail.fm/help/technical/servernamesandports.html
But when I go to the instructions on how to set FastMail up on an iOS device, it seems as though it only shows IMAP. Could that be intentional?

E-Mail sending problems on my iPhone

When I try to send email from a particular mail account on my iPhone, I get a message that says: "Cannot Send Mail / The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.amjdigital.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars."
I tried re-establishing the mail account on the iPhone; but still can't send email.
I can send email using the account from another wifi source, though.
Any suggestions?

Search for the topic "Alternate SMTP Port" -- your configuration is likely trying to use port 25 to send outbound messages which is blocked on the Verizon network (there's a whole discussion on why this is the case and why it is a sound security policy, so I won't go into the details here).
You need to find out from your mail provider (amjdigital.com) if they have an "Alternate SMTP Port" for sending mail (this is sometimes port 587, but I've seen others as well -- and I did a quick check and the standard ports for the alternate don't seem to be active on that server). If they look at you cross-eyed, ask them to have their security person take a look at why companies should be configuring an "Alternate SMTP Port" for sending mail. It's pretty simple to do. Once you have that information, you'll need to go into the advanced settings for the mail account and change the sending port number for SMTP outgoing mail to the port number they provide.
This change will work whether you are on the Verizon network or elsewhere.
