Need to add a new mail account but option is greyed out

Hi, I need to add a new mail account (I already have 2 setup), but when I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, the "Add Account" field is not available for me to click on.

Fixed it... was a Restrcition setting that I obviously turned on after I had set the other two accounts up... Doh

How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the preconfigured options.
Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do I stop Thunderbird from creating additional folders when I add a new mail account?

I've been using Thunderbird for about 8 years now, migrating the configuration from version to version. Currently I have two accounts it picks up email from. I want to add a third account but everytime I do this, it creates a bunch of new folders with the name of the account in my folder tree. This is undesirable, mainly because it looks terrible and it's also dodging the default filtering I have set up globally for received messages.
How do I create a new mail account without it making new folders and just using the local folders like the other accounts already do?
I do not use Thunderbird's internal spam filtering, I use popfile and use message filters to sort the emails by headers Popfile adds to my messages. I do not understand why it won't let me make a new account like the other accounts without making a special folder for the new account. Please help?

Item 1. Global inbox only works with POP mail accounts.
Tools menu > account settings >server Settings > advanced and select use global inbox to turn it on. Note the folder will disappear, so move the mail you want from them before you change the settings.
Item 2. IMAP accounts must have their own folders. The View menu > folder > unified view was designed to overcome that as much as possible,

I'm trying to add a new mail account and it is stuck on discovering settings

Getting frustrated. I'm trying to add a new email account and now my screen is stuck on Discovering settings and it won't go any further and i can't read any previous emails that was set up on another account

1. What does this have to do with Remote Desktop?
Perhaps you meant to post in the iPhone forum? Using iPhone
I'll request the hosts move this to the iPhone forum.
2. What type of account are you trying to add? Gmail? Outloook.com? Corporate? Other Personal email?
3. CardDav is a contact or address book format used by some email service providers such as Gmail. It usually asks for the password for your email account. Setting it up as CardDav will usually only pull in contacts and not email.

What do i do if i need to make a new apple account but have gift card money on the one im using now?

i have to make a new apple id because i cant remember the security questions to my old one and cant use the money i have on it. but i dont want that money to go to waste. is there any way to transfer that money to the new account i want to create?

You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, nor use it to gift content to another account. Have you tried getting the questions on your existing account reset ?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Hello I've just set up my new 'mail' account but it is not saving sent messages. Have I put the wrong control on somewhere? Thanks.t and it is not storing sent messages

Grateful for help in helping me to save sent mail.

If you used the same Apple ID as previously then you are using the same iCloud account.

Cannot add new mail Account or iCal account

When I try to add a new Mail account (press " + " on the Mail -> Preferences -> Account tab) it temporarily darkens but nothing happens. Pressing "+" in iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts does not have an effect either.
Unlike in the case of other posters neither Mail nor iCal crashes. It just simply does not respond. At present I have two Mail accounts (created in an earlier version, probably Tiger) and no iCal account.
So far I have tried the following:
1) Press "Add account ..." in the File menue instead of pressing the "+" button. Result: No effect.
2) Use disk utility to repair permissions. Result: No effect.
3) Quit Mail; Move ~/Library/Mail, ~/Library/Mail Downloads, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop; Restart the Computer; Open Mail. Result: New Mail folders are created in ~/Library, a new com.apple.mail.plist is created. My .me account information is automatically recognized but I still cannot create another account, even not my second account that worked before.
4) Create a new user. Result: For the new user I can create at least 3 Mail accounts.
Obviously there is something wrong with my current user account, though I am not aware of any other symptoms. Any ideas how this can be repaired?

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

I need to create a new admin account. But i lost the cd it came with and forgot my password. also can a cd be replaced

I need to create a new admin account. but i lost the cd that came with the macbook, and forgot my password. also can the cd be replaced.

You can purchase replacement discs from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

Hello everyone,
I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
Thanks,
W

You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US. Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail". Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
Hope this helps

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

I hate to add a third entry but this one will end the speculation about this problem.
Apple mail is not designed to create a new mail account! WIndows mail, all forms, is designed to create new mail accounts. If you are new to mac, and you try to create a new mail account and the account you try to create already exists because it belongs to some else, the a return code for an error is returned from the mail provider. Apple mail unfortunately trys to handle
the error but does not bother range checking the return code for validity. This results in what I said above and the mail crashes. Nothing that happens should ever cause a crash! There are a number of software errors in Apple mail that need attention. To fix this problem, just go to your email provider and create the account. Then add it in apple mail.
This will work without error.
