My email accounts regularly lose settings

My email accounts regularly lose settings. Settings in the Mac mail provider accounts are still there but the configuration data is lost.

Could you be more specific?

  • Email Account Manager Credential Settings

    I have been using the Email Account Manager to set up a few email accounts that I use.
    I have succesfully set up Gmail and validated it.
    My main account is with Demon (in the UK). The Credential Settings insist on an email address and passward but the Demon email system requires a hostname (single word) and password.
    I cannot, therefore set up LR4 to use my main email account.

    Yes, that is correct. If I enter only my hostname (username) it remains in red. This appears to only work with a correctly formatted email address but my ISP mail system requires just the hostname.

  • I cannot get to the email account on my settings. It has frozen. I have tried re-booting, but no luck

    My email account has frozen and when I go to settings I cannot get to change anything. It has frozen. I have tried re-booting, but it stays frozen. I have two accounts: one is via a proxy server from my work place. I think that is the cause of my problem, bit I cannot get to it to delete or remove it. Can anyone help?

    Did you change the email address associed with yur account?  If you only changed that, your Apple ID address is not changed.  See:
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

  • Virgin imap Email account stops working

    Can anyone help here please?
    I have and iPhone 5, no idea if that is relevant, on which I have set up two virgin email accounts using imap settings, what a game that was, and at regular intervals I have a problem with one of the accounts which stops working.
    Both email accounts are set up identically, I have checked time and time again, but it is always the same account which stops working with the same error message 'imap4.virgin.net' is not responding. I am raising this with Virgin too but as my other account continues to work fine on the same settings I am not sure the problem sits with them. If I delete the troublesome account then it will work fine for anything up to 3 months, or as little as a week, but then it will happen again, one account downloads emails the other refuses to, and give the error message I have mentioned above.
    Has anyone any experience of the problem, and any ideas, or does anyone have a solution, short of binning either the iPhone or Virgin email! Both of those solutions are not practical, but tempting.

    here is what I did to resolve the problem.  In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and  hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names.  Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold!  Some changes won't hold unless you click OK before you move on.
    Select Advanced tab.  Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account.  It seems the passwords are not holding.
    To test:       Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars)   and then "get mail" button.  This should show any problems
    another test:  window/connection doctor
    This will fix both pop and imap.  so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others.  Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
    Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well.

  • After setting up email account the apple imap does not respond.

    Able to get on the internet with no problem but when I try to set up an email account no matter whether yahoo or gmail I get this message. "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field. I have done this numerous times with no success.  I deleted all email accounts since they did not work and still have had no success.  The problem has to be with this ipad.  The model number is MB293LL, Serial # V50445YCZ39 VERSION: 3.2.2(7B500).  All pertinent information has been put in properly but the unit still is unable to send or receive any email.  I am wondering if I should reset the entire unit back to factory specs etc.  The form below this asked for an operating system and I put Vista in due to the fact that this system was given to me by someone that I know had Windows Vista on their home computer.  If I can change it I would. I just do not know how at present that is why I am coming to this community.  Thanks for any help.

    I am trying to set up a basic email account through the settings email,contacts etc button on the ipad.  When the list of servers comes up I pick yahoo and fill in the pertinent info as far as the correct email address and password. When I try to save it the ipad is the thing that comes up with this message "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding.  I have no idea where or how it comes up with this but that is what appears when I try to save the account information it request.  The info that JimHdk sent does not work either.  Thanks for any help.

  • Update to OS X lost email accounts

    Upon update to OS X I lost my email accounts.  Mail settings lookup is OK.  Get "Preferences Error" if I click on accounts. Get the menu bar but few options.

    Try a SMC reset: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Try calibrating your battery (I'm assuming you have a laptop, rather than the Mac Pro in your profile): Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance
    Or maybe your battery needs to be replaced.

  • Business Catalyst Help | Set up POP and IMAP email accounts

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/setup-pop-imap-email-accounts.html

    Hi
    If site plan is web basic then email service would not be included , either you would need to upgrade the site else use external email service.
    Using creative cloud subscription sites published will be in web basic site plan,
    For upgrading : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3161
    For External Email : http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/setup-pop-imap-email-accounts.html#main_How_to_create_ an_external_MX_record
    If this is not the case then you can access email accounts section , site settings > email accounts
    Thanks,

  • E5 - Show multiple email accounts on home page

    I have 1 x Mail for Exchange email account set up plus 4 other email accounts.
    I want all these to show on the home page.
    Currently I have the mail for exchange and 1 of my 'other' accounts which I set as the secondary email account in the settings.
    Any idea how I can get the other 3 showing in the menu list.
    I have got them as icons but this doesn't show/notify when new emails arrive like the MfE and the other email account does.
    Any ideas, ?  Thanks in advance.

    Me too.  I'm not so bothered about having them all on the home screen, but I would like a notification when new mails arrive to other accounts.
    Bit odd that Nokia offers push-email to 10 accounts, but their newest handset will only work with two of them.  Before people make a fuss about that statement, it isn't push-email if you've got to check the account yourself for new mail!
    Looking forward to hearing an answer to this, but I can pretty much guarantee mine is the only reply you'll get - it just isn't possible.

  • I can receive email from my regulare email account but I cannot send. I get an error message that I have to go to settings and enter a password, but when I do the password is there. I have tried re-entering password with the same result.How can I send?

    I am able to receive email, but when I try to reply I get an error message to go to settings and enter a password. My password is there and I have re-entered it with no success. How can I enable send feature from my I Phone?

    You have to go to SMTP settings for your email account and enter a password there. Sended and receiving are two different activities managed by 2 differet servers, and each may require a separate user ID and password.

  • Modifying POP email account settings

    Essentially, I need to modify the username settings on an existing POP email account (on my Z10) - however, the setting - "Username" - is grayed-out, seemingly unmodifiable.... The only solution is - perhaps - to delete the account from the "Accounts" list and start over?
    HOWEVER, I have a LARGE number of emails (sent and received), associated with this needing-to-be-modified POP email account, which I would NOT like to lose....
    Will I lose my emails if I remove and re-add this POP email account from / to my Z10?
    Thanks for any wisdom!

    tirgoman!
    Thanks for your comments. The issue is, really, with emails SENT from the Z10. I am not (as) concerned with received mails. I have a separate email client (desktop), which grabs and removes mail from the server, regularly.
    Is it not possible to change the Username setting for an email account, which is already set up / operational on the Z10?
    Is the only solution a remove and re-add, which will result in the complete loss of all (Z10-based) email associated with the removed / re-added email account?
    Thanks, again!

  • I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

    I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

    If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info.  You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
    To change the device info:
    Step 1.  Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box.  You should notice a change in your email info on the screen .  Sync device to the computer.
    Step 2.  note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info:  Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.   Change your email account information here.

  • Email account settings

    Help.  I just got the z10 today and set up two email accounts.  One I finalized only syncing my calendar and meant to do email too.  How do I change the settings to sync email.  I do not see an option to edit the settings.  Thanks in advance for any help with this.  :/  frustrated

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If you go into Settings > Accounts, and then tap the account, you will be in the edit mode of the account, and the "what to sync" stuff should be at the bottom. If not, then I'd suggest removing and re-integrating the account, this time selecting only the things you desire.
    Good luck!

  • There is no option to add an email account in the email setup settings please for your help!!

    Hi everybody,
    i just became fan of blackberry. i am trying to set up the email i already have in my yahoo account.
    I am following the guide and i go to setup email settings. However, there is just the option of  "I want to use a work email account with a blackberry enterprise server".
    is there any other way to set up my yahoo account in my device?
    thanks a lot for your help!!
    Regards

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you should then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
    Good luck!

  • Q10 email account settings

    I have a Blackberry Q10. I have set up my emails and it was working great. Then it reset the incomming & outgoing server to mail.bigpond.com. I have rest the setting twice now and it keeps reverting back. I am saving changes. What do I need to do to stop it resetting itself.
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From that description, it sounds like you first used the automatic wizard to configure your email account, then tried to change what was in that configuration. Instead, you should remove and re-create brand new your email configuration, and if you need to do anything different than the automatic wizard would do, use the manual methodology and, while initially configuring the email account, provide all of the settings manually.
    If you are not sure what the settings are to use, you can use the Email Validation Tool to provide them to you:
