N97mini: e-mail Settings always requesting access ...

Hi,
I have this strange behaviour, it happens only when I am in roaming in another country (France UK ....)
every time that I use the phone, so re-activating the screen, I get this message from the "E-mail Installation" app aksing me permission to log to the network.
I say everytime "NO", but it continue asking me.
Why? Is it that Phone companies force you to connect (and spend money....) in some way?
I already checked that firmware and nokia email are uptodate
I also checked that all setting are for manual connection.
Suggestions?

Try this:
Email server settings (POP and SMTP)
AT&T email server settings are needed if you intend to use an email program (e.g. Outlook) with your AT&T email accounts. The current settings are displayed in the table below. If you only use AT&T Webmail to access your AT&T email accounts, these settings are not needed and you can access your mail by logging in at https://login.yahoo.com/.
If you signed up for a free att.net email account after 6/12/11, you will not be able to use an email program (e.g., Outlook) with your AT&T email account.
Note: AT&T's POP/SMTP settings have recently changed to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net. However, if you are using the old settings, they will continue to work.
The following mail server settings will work with all AT&T email domains: @ameritech.net, @att.net, @bellsouth.net, @flash.net, @nvbell.net, @pacbell.net, @prodigy.net, @sbcglobal.net, @snet.net, @swbell.net, @wans.net.
Email Program Settings Field:
Enter:
Incoming (POP)
inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:
POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:
Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected], [email protected])
Incoming mail port #:
995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #
465, secure connection (SSL) checked
Note: When updating the secure server settings, check the SSL check box first and then update the port number if necessary.

I can't open mail settings in ios5

When I go to 'mail, calendar, and contacts' in settings, it hangs. My company has active sync enabled and i had setup my sync with exchange prior to upgrading to IOS 5. Now it won't load any mail or mail settings. The calendar for some strange reason seems to work. Anyone else having this issue?

Re:: to my previous post....
It turns out, after I have disabled iCloud on my MacMini ( I deslected all options, and signed out from iCloud ) and ater restoring the phone one more time to iOS5.0, now everything is working just fine.
I am pretty sure, I didn't have to restore the phone
(turn off the phone, then enter DFU mode by pressing power+home button for 10seconds untill black screen, then release power button and keep holding home button for another 10 seconds, doing all this with iTunes started)
and it would have been sufficient to just disable all iCloud settings on my Mac and sign out from iCloud but I can't be now 100% sure which one did it.
During the restore, I chose "Do not use iCloud" when asked.
I have deleted iCloud from phone prior to all these actions, but it did not help. It might be necessary though, to sign out from iCloud from your devices.
Now, Mail settings can be accessed, I have setup my Gmail and Yahoo accounts with no issues. Everything works just fine.
Now, I will have to search for iCloud documentation, because it definately needs better understanding.
iCloud takes presedence over all your settings and it is not clear in what manner it is doing it.
I hope this helps, and good luck..

TS3988 I cannot access my e-mail settings on my iPad

I can no longer access my e-mail settings or add additional accounts on my 3rd gen IPad. The mail works fine (send and recieve). I can see the names of all three accounts and my subscribed calendars.... but they are all subdued. tapping dragging and shaking all seem to do nothing but frustrate me more. I have tried to access them, on WIFI, on Cellular and even offline in Airplane mode without success. I have tried re-booting and connecting to iTunes and trying without any luck. I am hoping for a simple setting solution, but have had no luck with the Apple support web page. I welcome anything short of erasing my iPad.

My post led me to similar questions. The solution was found in an unrelated problem when a forum member suggested going to "General" and then "Restrictions". There I found"Accounts" and it was set to "Don't allow changes". A simple click and I was up and running. I was going to delete, but hope the post will help another.

Just tried my online banking, the page doesn't always load and it won't show my account names or passwords.
It looks like none of my log in information for any sites I use often will show in Firefox.
I can't even access my e-mail to see if I'm getting answers to this problem.

Problems with access to e-mail settings

Dear All,
A week ago a changed a password to one of my e-mails and i needed to change it in my e-mail settings as well. As i went to the e-mail settings in my blackberry it stated (for the first time in 3 years) that i have to log in and give my password, as i tried to do it I always would get this text that it is wrong or "your device encountered a problem with this application's server. Select ok and repeat the action to try again." I checked my user name and password many times online, I evenm changed it. But it did not show me any result. This is a very important e-mail and i want to access to my e-mail setting therefore could someone help me with this??? Thank you in advance.

check the pop settings, set spam to false, its on by defualt, this done you should be able to pop and send via pop without outlook connector.

I have a 4s and I am not sure when it began, but I cannot save photos that are nit camera related in my photo roll. Furthermore, applications that I have downloaded and should request access are not apparent in my privacy photo settings. What should I do?

My problem began when I wanted to change my screen saver. At first, I would try to take pictures and download images and they would toatally disappear. So then I uninstalled my icloud, deactivated my photostream, and supposedly restored my phone to the last back up. Well atleast now the pictures that I take are not dissappearing into thin air. However, I have never been able to and I still cant seem to turn on the request for photo applications in my privacy settings. I am not sure when this initial problem began. As of now, I am not able to save downloaded photos to my camera roll and applications that request access to my photos are not displayed in my privacy settings to even accept the request. This is very frustrating and I am not sure what to do.
I have tried everything from disabling and enabling my icloud, disabling and enabling my photo stream, stopping the photo app and restarting it, and even restoring it to the last itunes backup.

This works!
go to settings> general>restrictions>privacy and allow changes. Make sure that your camera is on under allow!

Can not access my mail settings

I had to change my password for my yahoo account due to spam. However, I can not access mail settings on my iphone to update new password?

Did you set restrictions so that a random person getting hold of your phone could not alter the settings?

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

I have recently given away my old mac air to a friend. I want to change the mail settings so he can access his emails and not access mine

I recently gave my old mac air (purchased new 2011) to my friend. I want to change the mail settings so that he can access his mail from the application and not mine. So far we have gone to mail then preferences then general and changed the email address to his but upon relaunching the mail application, it didn't seem to have worked. The mailbox was empty of either his or my emails. Ali

Follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
Your friend will need to install his own OS X system as weill as purchase his own App Store software. He/She cannot use yours. Since the machine has been wiped your friend can configure his/her own Mail account.

My iPhone was fine earlier today, but in settings....it won't let me access iCloud, FaceTime, mail settings.....what the heck? I've tried everything. My iPad is fine and iCloud etc. works

Turn OFF the restriction to allow changes to accounts you've set in Settings > General > Restrictions.

Since update, my iPhone 3 and iPad give me a mail server error for one of my email accounts. It says I have to correct mail settings, but I always use to get this email before.

I receive a "cannot get mail" message when my iPhone and iPad try to retrieve one of my email accounts. Since updating, it says to verify account information in mail settings. I haven't changed information.

Rarely data and settings are corrupted during an update. What happened when you verified the mail account settings as suggested? Even if they appear OK, I suggest deleting and reinstalling the account.

Firewall Settings - Always allow a certain application to have access

Every time I open iTunes it prompts me to allow it access to through the firewall. Is there someway that I can tell the firewall that it's really OK and that iTunes can ALWAYS have access?

I was playing around in there before and I can't see anything that allows you disable the prompt permanently, from what I'm reading from som, it's an iTunes bug.

Duplicate e-mails for same request

Hi all,
The user is getting almost 30 repeated e-mails for the same access approval in the GRC landscape?
I am not sure about how the e-mail thing works in the GRC landscape? could someonw throw more light here and let me know hw i could stop this repeated e-mails getting generated for the same request?
Regards

Hello Bharathwaj,
This issue was existing in some of the earlier SPs of AE 5.2 but was resolved in SP 08. Also, the original issue was happening for customers using clustered environment. Now, I doubt that this can be an issue on AE side here. So, try the following recommendations and if the issue does not get resolved then raise an OSS message for this:
1) Check the VIRS_AE_EMLLOG table and see if you have multiple entries for the notifications and reminders for requests. If feasible delete the OPEN entries. Do take assistance from your DBA on this.
2) In the stage level settings, uncheck the Other Approvers option in the Notification configuration.
3) Restart the system and see if you still face this issue.
4) Run the email dispatcher jobs in immediate mode and see if you still receive multiple emails.

Inbox in my mail theipad always opens it with the oldest mail showing

In the inbox in my mail theipad always opens it with the oldest mail on the screen and I have to scroll up every time to read latest mail. How can I reset to show latest mail first? Thanks

Hi
Maybe this helps you out. Credits to Lawrence Finch, Apple Discussions.
Message bodies are not downloaded until you open the folder containing the message. If you have a POP3 account it is possible that the message has been downloaded and deleted from the server by another mail program running on a home or office computer, so the message is gone by the time you are ready to read it. If you have a POP3 account you should make sure that any other computers that access your mail are off or at least have automatic email retrieval disabled.
If you have an Exchange account there really IS an issue. When you set up an Exchange account on the iPhone it gets its settings from the Outlook client on your computer. In some cases this setting doesn't work right on the iPhone. So if you have this problem AND your mail server is Exchange do not set up the iPhone as an Exchange client. Instead, create the account on the iPhone as an IMAP account.
If a message is very larger (probably over 1 MB or so) the iPhone won't download it. This could be why it happens with only some messages.
Finally, if you have it set up as an IMAP account and it still happens you are very unusual, as just about everyone who has reported this problem is using either Exchange or POP3. (Unless it happens on very large messages only)."

Recovering Mail settings

My father recently thought he was cleaning up "unused" items on his computer. He moved a bunch of things to a folder he titled "Unused". Included in this was the Library folder in his home directory. A new Library was automatically created and all app settings were reset to default. The main problem is that when he went to use Mail, it wanted to him to create a new account. He did stopped at this point and called me in.
Another piece I should mention is that he said when he emptied his trash it had 1500 items in it (usually it would have fewer than 10). His use of the computer is actually quite limited. So this tells me he put something in the trash that really should not have gone there, but unfortunately there is no way for me to know. His memory is not very good, either.
The Library folder in the "Unused" folder he created has his mail cache, and appears to have the other settings. However, missing is the file "com.apple.mail.plist". Using spotlight, the only file with this name is one created the day he did this 'clean up' and tried using Mail, only to discover its request for creating an account.
My question is twofold. I have not been able to figure out how to recover his original Mail setup. Would this require the previously existing "com.apple.mail.plist" file? If so, am I able to recreate a 'new' Mail account that gains access to all his old mail, etc?
I appreciate any help that can be given.

Brad,
The plist would only be necessary to recover and use a backup of the full Mail folder, but if the Mail folder continued to exist as the current Mail folder after trashing the preferences, then doing the following would be expected to recover the account folders and mailboxes IF the current Mail folder contained them:
When or if the com.apple.mail.plist is removed, then Mail will open as though new, but if when prompted to import anything, you DECLINE, and instead, re-enter your account info, Mail will re-discover the account folders for your accounts, and all should be well.
If on the other hand, you only have any copy (including the current one) of the Mail folder, then any mailboxes it contains can be imported, even if you cannot recreate the account setup info, the same way. However, any mailboxes in any account folder, cannot be imported as, say, the Inbox, but rather as another On My Mac mailbox, from which you can then move messages to the current Inbox.
Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.
Ernie
