Without using internet browser? Why wouldn't you want to use the browser? You have to configure your mail account if you want to use it.

Apple Mail losing mail settings after closing the application

Hi!
I have been using apple mail for the last 18 months with 5 accounts using IMAP, however when upgraded to Leopard 10.5.7 every time I enter the account details of the accounts they work find etc...
However when I close Mail and load it again all of the accounts are gone except for my me.com account. My accounts are fine on my iPhone any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like a problem with the Property List file which stores the details of your email accounts and settings.
Open Finder and navigate to folder ~/Library/Preferences (the ~ denotes your home folder).
Drag the file com.apple.Mail.plist to the desktop
Launch Mail
Re-enter your email account details, close Mail and then Launch it again to check that your account details have been "remembered".
If it now appears OK you can trash the com.apple.Mail.plist file you moved to the desktop because Mail will have created a new version in your folder ~/Library/Preferences.

Mail settings after Lion?

I installed Lion yesterday.
Somehow none of the five mail servers I access are recieving any mail. Not even if I log into a web mail setup? Even Gmail has an empty INBOX. Everything else seems fine, just no new mail anywhere. I usually get about 50 emails a day so I just cannot understand how and what could have changed that would affect all my mail server settings or something?
Mac Mail seems to log inand check mail just fine.
Hard to imagine that this has anything to do with my Lion install, but it is the only thing I did recently.
Any thoughts or guidance greatly appreciated.

I have basically the same problem. None of my email accounts show up. But I can access and read my
gmail accounts fine in my web browser.

Mail settings after os7 upgradew

I can't send emails since I upgraded to OS7. I get a message saying "the username or password for SMPT:(My emailaddresshere)@smtphmsympatico.ca is incorrect"
I haven't changed any settings and the settings are the same as those on my iPad, but that works.
Hmmm.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

10.5.1 Mail crashes OS (black screen) then wipes Mail settings + mailboxes

So I dragged a PDF to the mail icon to start a new message, Mail creates new message body with PDF but then crashes the entire OS - press the on/off to reboot your system.
Then when the OS comes up again the entire Mail settings are wiped.
Okay so I do a restore from the archived Mail.
Spaghetti Mail results.
I've now got two sets of archived Mail (this is a new MacBook so I recently imported old Mails from the iBook) nested inside multiple folders... one set of the original iBook to MacBook import - and now a set of the MacBook mail with a set of the iBook to MacBook import inside it.
Problems I have with this: -
1. Mail crashed my MacBook in the first place
2. Mail forgot the mail settings even though the mailboxes are still in ~/me/library/mail
3. Mail double imported archived mail
4. Mail has no clear and easy way to merge old mail back into a new mail setup.
Now I'm going to resync from the IMAP mail servers to get my INBOXes back... so multiple multiple nests of spaghetti.
This is pretty unacceptable behaviour.
Solution: -
1. Mail should have a back up set of settings to "Clone" settings and mailboxes from an archive
2. Mail should be smart enough to know that the mailboxes in the users library/mail folder are not alien entities but the data it needs to work.
3. Mail should have a way to merge archives into the current set of live mail boxes - SENT especially important.
Now I'll be resyncing then dragging and dropping to try to get it to some normality.
Yes perhaps Time Machine is the answer - but that does not resolve the cloning of settings issue... nor help when moving from 10.4
Awful

Okay - so I've begun restoring the email accounts - I have 5 of them... and it seems to be recognising them and importing the mail from the existing set of mailboxes I'd imported already.
However there is still the issue of Mail recognising that those Mailboxes exist. It should know that they are there and offer to set up the accounts using these mail boxes as a basis.
Not very smart to do it the way it has been done - now I need to delete the archives I've just imported... but that scares me so perhaps I'll just live with them as they are...
Not very impressed with the recovery process.

Inbox and sent mail gone after re-entering account settings in preferences

Tech support for my provider had me delete and re-enter my account settings in preferences as I was unable to send or receive mail. It wiped out my inbox and sent mail (smart mailboxes and archive folders are fine) I tried to import the mailboxes in the mail folder in the library, but these were created when I re-entered my information and were empty. AND I was in the process of reformatting the time machine drive so my backup were lost. Duh. I did a global search for "inbox" but nothing is coming up and tech support at comcast was at a loss. Any ideas where these messages could have gone? I verified my HD, as was recommended, and it is fine. Thanks!

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.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

My Ipad 2 was working fine, after syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works, but if you go to the mail settings they the settings freeze. I can't send Emails. I am using outlook, anybody has an answer?

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

I don't understand how to sync settings in mail settings to fill lesser number of emails in my inbox

i don't understand how to sync settings in mail settings to fill lesser numbers of emails in my inbox

OK and when I run desktop manager then what do I do? There are no instructions after this setup with my mobile carrier, they just leave me hanging. Also, is my phone going to be wiped or will it just update the OS? I don't want to lose all my settings that took me hours to setup on this thing and have to redo everything all over again. Backup? I don't understand how to do that either (again all of this is new to me). I don't have a second phone where I can call T-Mobile on the phone and have them walk me through it, I only have my cell that's it. They refuse to give me instructions unless I'm on another phone when I call them, why they won't let me write them down is beyond me...these carriers are getting mighty picky these days on customer service/technical support.

Mail issues after Time machine restore.

After making some changes as suggested by BT for their move to BT mail I had issues with mail settings. Maybe inadvisable I decided to restore a few days prior and use Time Machine with a hope to restore back.
Unfortunately when it opened mail an upgrade started which them didnt complete and wiped all my mails. Any idea what went wrong and how to restore back the historic mails I need.

looks like others are having the similar issue but not the solution for me so far

E72 - Unable to set up e-mail mailbox after firmwa...

Hi all,
I have a newly acquired E72-1 which has been updated to the latest firmware version 051.018.
I'm trying to set up the e-mail function on my E72 but getting nowhere.
I keep getting to the enter e-mail details/password etc page then…nothing. The mail box has not been set up, each and every time.
From the home screen, I hit setup e-mail>start e-mail setup>start
Then it asks ‘connection needed’ connect to: and I click yes and it shows ‘Preparing setup’…
Then it shows a screen with all the e-mail services, from the top: Ovi Mail, Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, Windows Live, BT Internet, Mail for Exchange, Lotus Notes, Other
From here, if you click on the various choices such as Gmail or windows live for Hotmail, you get the enter user name + password boxes…once these are filled in
You get the detecting e-mail settings tab for a few seconds…then it reverts to the screen showing the e-mail services.
I have tried this dozens & dozens of times without success…no mail boxes have been set up. It just cycles through the setup process each time.
I have even done a Hard reset on the E72 and tried to set up e-mail after…with no luck.
Any suggestions?? I have to say I’m getting very cheesed off as e-mail was the main reason to get the E72!!
Has the Nokia Messaging service been switched off??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I came to this discussion because google indicated it when I searched 'nokia E72 unable to create mailbox'.
'Unable to create mailbox' used to be a huge headache for me to use E72 for over one year and half. I tried to soft and hard reset the device, brought it to Nokia Care Point to spend 15 pounds to re-install the whole system, or call the customer service line again and again for a continuous one year, but the problem still existed. To be honest, I was not satisfied with Nokia customer services at all. The staff at the Nokia Care Point only cared about charging money. After the first re-instalation when the problem still existed, they said I had to pay more to process other checks. In terms of technicians from the customer service line, they were helpless. I called them again and again. Each time when I called, there was a different technicain, and I had to repeat the situation again and again. They only knew to suggest me do the basic reset, including to try *#7370# or to reset factory factory settings, which I had tried over hundreds times. They even used remote control application to install some remote app on my E72 and did some checks from their ends, but still it didn't help. When the technician realised he/she didn't have another method, they promised to call me back later, but they never did. I was so disappointed with their service. It took around an hour or longer each time I called. When the problem couldn't be fixed, I had to call again and repeat the problem from the beginning again to a new line advisor. It was so time and money consuming!!!! And what was the most annoying was that they were not helpful! After such torturing experience, the problem still existed! It was a frustrating and exhausting experience from 05.2011 to this year 06.2012... I gave up Nokia in the end, though it used to be my favourate phone.
Sorry to make such a long complaint. I just want to provide a feedback to Nokia, so as to let them know that their poor service and products are losing former loyalty clients.
===============================================
Right, back to the problem, 'unable to create mailbox'. Finally, I figured out what the problem was. It was a conflict between the device E72 and network provider, O2, for my case.
I am in the uk and use monthly contract of O2 sim card. The O2 network provides three kinds of data package: O2 Active, O2 Mobile network, and O2 Pay&Go. When I create mailbox or use Maps GPS, it access to the internet via O2 Par&Go by default, no matter how I set the priority of the connection destination. But when I changed the access point to O2 Active or O2 Mobile Network, the mailbox was able to be created and Maps app was able to recevie GPS data.
So here is my solution.
1) Hardset the device. Remember to backup all the data beforehand.
The method is to press Shift+Space+Backspace together with the power button when the device is powered off. Press until the device is restarted and the main screen, normally it should be Nokia's two hands joined together image, is seen.
2) Go to menu --> Ctrl. panel --> Settings --> Connection --> Destinations
There, you will find all the access points.
3) Go to Internet
Hopefully you will have the same options as I do, O2 Active, O2 Mobile Web, and O2 Pay&Go
Scroll to O2 Pay&go, click options, choose 'delete' to delete the O2 Pay&go option. (Don't worry to delete it, as the internet can be access to via the other two options without any problem.)
4) Go back to Destinations, do the same to Multimedia msg, WAP services, and Intranet.
Delete any O2 Pay&go options for these category.
===========================================================
Then, your phone should be ready to set up mailbox and to use gps without any problem. That was what happened to my Nokia E72.
Good luck!
Now, I feel my E72 is so powerful after the push mail and GPS function is recovered. But still, I am not satisfied with Nokia's service and will definitely not try any other of its products. Nokia has lost my loyalty and I believe I am not the only one.
