Problem setting up an email account on mini.

I setup my wife's account on my iPad as a test with no problem. But when I try to set it up on her mini it hangs in the "Verifying" stage of account setup and never completes! I have to do a reboot to get back to "home" pages. Results are the same whether I go directly thru "setup" or take the route thru "mail". Internet connection is fine and the account works from all other devices (ipad3, PC and laptop). any thoughts? thanks.

Close the mail app on the iphone and go to a computer, sign in to your yahoo mail account and do the verification that it pops up. If there is no such thing that pops up then go back to your iphone and do the following:
1.) Delete the yahoo mail account on your iphone.
2.) Add mail account using "other" instead of "Yahoo!" and setup as IMAP account.
3.) Use the following information:
- username MUST include @yahoo.com at the end
- incoming server = imap.mail.yahoo.com
- outgoing server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- always retype your password
Tell me if this solution works or doesn't work. It worked on my girlfriend's iphone4 after 16 hours of reading online and messing with it and a lot of restoring.

  • Problem setting up ATT email account with Apple Mail

    I have a main ([email protected]) and sub email account ([email protected]) with ATT/Yahoo (formerly SBC).
    I set these accounts up on Apple Mail for the first time, and selected the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message "RIGHT AWAY". But Apple Mail would not allow me to select that option for both the primary and sub account. It allowed me to select that option for the first account I set up (the sub account), but when I tried to select that option for the second account (the main account), it would not permit me to save the option and gave me the following error message:
    The account path /Users/edelbert/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com is already being used by the account "GIFilm"
    It will allow me to select the option to remove the copy AFTER ONE WEEK, but then I receive the same message over and over each time Apple Mail checks the ATT server.
    ATT claims that it is the result of an SSL conflict between its software and Apple's, and claims that Apple has created a bug fix, but I can find no evidence of such a patch.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    As far as I can tell, the problem might be with my password. It's working on my iPhone, but not my computer.
    If it's just a matter of changing the password, it's cool. But I can't figure out how to change the password.
    Any ideas on changing the password in mail preferences?
    Thanks,

  • Problem setting up pop3 email account on my blackberry

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on a problem I am having. On my blackberry 8520 curve, I cannot seem to link my pop 3 account on my blackberry. It keeps saying invalid username or password. I have checked the username and password and both are correct. Today I phoned vodacom customer care and they were very helpful, and went through all the possible ways to try set it up, but she still got the same error - invalid username or password. I am using my own domain, but the guys who host my website say everything is fine. Here is the weird thing, it was working, but i deleted the account (mistakingly) and now cant get it to work again. Does anyone have any other possible solutions, because ive run out of ideas. Ive tried setting it up on a friends blackberry and get the same problem. The only thing I can think of is when I set up my email on my pc linking it to outlook express, it said it could not detect the settings searching by encrypted and had to use unencrypted search to find them, but even when I put the settings manually into my blackberry, it still wont work. All settings seem correct.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks Mike

    I'm not certain that this is the problem, but you may want to check with your Email provider to see if they require SPA (Secure Password Authentication) in order to access your e-mail. If anything, it'll be one problem to eliminate from the list of possibilities.
    Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

  • Problems setting up hotmail email account on Blackberry Pearl

    I have had difficulty setting up my hotmail account on my pearl. whenever i enter my username and password (which i have checked millions of times to ensure that it is correct) and hit log in i get the message "please check your information and try again". no matter how many times i try it i get the same message! has anyone had the same problem or know of a solution?

    Hotmail has a policy of allowing old (which is active for long time or the ID that is never been deactivated) mail IDs to integrate with BlackBerry. Likewise, I can integrate my primary mail ID which is active for the last 17 years! My another ID which is also activated at the same time but blocked several time due to less use can't be integrate.

  • Problems setting up shaw email account

    When I try to set up the account I keep getting a message that "Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can continue without a secured password, which could put your password at risk. Alternatively, you can manually set up your account."
    I have tried repeatedly. I know the password entered is correct. What am I missing???

    If you are a new BT Broadband user, it can take up to a week before you will be able to create a BT mail address. I discovered this when I placed a recent order for my parents.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Help. am lost trying to set up an email account.

    after almost 20 years of using the mac for artwork and a pc for office stuff, I've made the total switch to mac only.
    problem is setting up an email account.
    I had microsoft entourage working pretty good but just discovered that there is no hyperlink feature in entourage, making the program worthless and unusable for our office environment where I send hyperlinks to ever changing large documents withen the organization by email.
    I am hoping the apple mail program will be my solution.
    I am trying to copy the settings from entourage into the mail program with some difficulty.
    Our It guys will have nothing to do with the mac so I'm pretty much on my own for figuring out how this stuff works.
    I want to transfer the connecting settings from entourage (or worse case scenerios-the old PC) into the Mail program but they have different names.
    Please help me decipher the differences. Entourage has alot of different names for things, public folders servers, exchange servers, LDAp servers, ect. whereas the Mail only has an incoming, an outgoing, and a Outlook web access server fields. I cannot figure out which is which.
    hopefully, once it is configured, i will have the hyperlink ability. otherwise, I'll have to use Fusion for Microsoft Office. running the fusion with XP program makes the keyboard work like crap and the mouse un-usably jumpy, not good for trying to draw pictures.
    Thanks.

    unfortunately, the only solution was to keep running windows for outlook email because of hyperlinks. really thought I could dump that old hassle.

  • Unable to set up 'Other' email account

    Previously set up office email account with no problems. Received email from Blackberry over two weeks ago that emails may be delayed or not received etc. Waited for a week but still didn't receive emails, resent service book but nothing happened. Deleted email details and tried to reinstall but this didn't work. I enter email address and password and it fails everytime. As the email address is associated with outlook I was previsouly asked for the server details, user name etc but I cannot find this screen anywhere. I'm going round in circles, my provider o2 is unable to help, my web access provider is unable to resolve issue and when I telephoned Blackberry they were most unhelpful.  I do not know why this has happened when it had been working successfully for over two years. Can anyone help please?

    What error message? What settings?
    Possibilities:
    By default, Mail assumes you want to connect via SSL (secure); not all mail servers support that.
    Many smtp servers won't accept connection except from their own domain. So if you're on a 3G network and you're setting up smtp with another ISP, their server might not take the connection.
    A fallback is that Google smtp does relay messages, so you could use that route

    hi Ian
    First you have to do setting on you email account if needed so you can start receiveing email on mobile, also depend that email provider, do support email on mobiles or not if yes they might ask you to pay then again you have use  trick to fix it.
     now on n97 when you setting email address then do not put you email in setting put some thing which do not exi(not valid email address)t then it will ask you not vaild email with option to put manually email address, now you put your right email, then you can start receiving an email.
    still haveing problem let me know which stage.

    I am trying to set up my email account, but am failing.  I have a "pop account" for my incoming mail server.  Does it make any difference that I am putting my "pop account" information into the "IMAP" account fields?  Thanks.

  • Having trouble setting up my email account

    Hi - and Help!
    I just upgraded my BC account and forwarded my domain from the registrar (in my case: Network Solutions). So, now I'm in the process of setting up my email account in BC so that everything works and I'm getting this message:
    Error 
    Account details for this user can only be updated via the site where it was first created.
    I don't understand this. Don't I need to set up my email with the hosting company (which is now BC)?
    Thanks for your help,

  • How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

    It's me again.
    I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

    It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
    If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.
