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!

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.

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,

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.

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.

Error message when setting up POP3 email account

I have my phone setup with my Gmail account and my work accout. Both were working fine, but after a few weeks I could no longer send email from my work account. I would get the "Connection to the outgoing SMTP server failed" error message.
I tried to delete the account and program it back in exactly as I had it before, and now when I try to save those settings, I get this message:
"Secure connection failed - the certificate for "[email protected]" may be invalid."
Our IT guys says all the info I'm plugging in is correct. Can anyone help??
Thanks.

closereach,
It sounds like your SMTP server may be using a self-signed certificate for the SSL connection.
A self-signed SSL certificate doesn't have the same authority as one that has been verified by one of the certificate authorities. It is kind of like the difference between using a business card and a photo ID. For many things the business card was sufficient ID, but when it comes to secured items like encrypted data, it is better to have an ID that has been verified by another authority.
You should have the option to use it, and then continue on.
If you do not have that option, its possible the certificate is not self-signed, but could be showing up as expired.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

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???

I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account

I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account. I have entered all of the required details but when it comes to verifying the account it does not progress any further and remains at the verification stage. I need to go in some how and change the security type and the port numbers. I believe this is in advanced setting but I dont know how to get there.
Any help appreciated

Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.

Syncing with POP3 email accounts

I'm just about at my wit's end, having spent the last few days trying to get MobileMe to do what Apple claims it can do. It can't.
That said, I now must figure out how to get my iPhone to directly access and sync with a couple of POP3 email account I have. I have tried going to settings, choosing "other", and adding in the correct info. It says that it "can't make the connection with SSL" and would I like to try without that, but when I say "OK", that doesn't work either.
Why is this so difficult? I replaced a Treo with this iPhone and am now having second thoughts. I mean, it can't access a POP3 account? What 90% of the world uses? I thought the iPhone was ready for "real" usage and not just a kid's phone. Frustrating. I just want to read my email... this should be "PDA 101"
OK, enough raving. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Regarding email, what I was trying to do was have access to my already existing email, not the me.com email. He told me that I’d be able to sync my existing emails with MobileMe... but you can't, at least as far as I can tell.
A MM account can check the incoming mail server for a POP account - this option is available at the MM website. Messages received from a POP account will be downloaded to the Inbox mailbox for your MM account. The downside is when replying to or forwarding a message received from a POP account. The reply or forward will be sent from your MM account.
The idea is to use the MM email account as your email account. I've had a .Mac account for some time which was converted to a MM account. I moved quite a bit between 2000 and 2004. At the time, I was using the email account provided by my ISP. Every time I moved, I had to change my email address, and most ISPs don't provide or support an authenticated SMTP server. I started using a PowerBook as my primary computer in 2000 and if I wasn't connected to the internet via my ISP, I was unable to send messages with the email account provided by my ISP. I decided to start using my .Mac account as my primary email account which solved a number of problems for me. When moving, I didn't have to change my email address and since .Mac has an authenticated SMTP server, I was able to send messages with my .Mac account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection.
MM continues this for me with my PowerBook and with my iPhone. I can send messages with my MM account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection - with the Mail.app on my Mac, with the iPhone's Mail client, or with Outlook or OE on a Windows PC.
Meanwhile, I’ve set up these two email accounts and both can receive email but neither can send, although my me.com address will send & receive.
Because a MM account has an authenticated SMTP server, and your POP accounts probably don't. Who is the email account provider for these POP accounts?
I spent about 1/2 hour this afternoon with Apple tech support who couldn't figure that out and told me I need to do a complete factory reset on my iPhone, which will bring it back to original factory specs, causing me to loose all downloaded programs, information, etc., although I could back it up first with iTunes.
If you are syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account and your contact information and calendar events are available at the MM "cloud", this data will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes. Other than that in regards to contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. If you aren't syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account, you should be syncing this data with the supported application on your computer and if so, this data remains on your computer and will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes.
All downloaded applications from the app store should also be available in your iTunes library, which won't be lost when doing a restore.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone for all data on your iPhone not included with the sync process such as; most settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, data stored on your iPhone by 3rd party applications, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process. Before restoring, the first step should be a sync to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
Since all data available on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup or should be available and remain on your computer such as your iTunes content, photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone, etc., nothing will or should be lost during the restore process.
I had a Treo before the iPhone and setting up the email on it took me about 5 minutes. The contacts and calendar sync flawlessly with Outlook, and the setup for that was probably 15 minutes.
Which application did you use to sync your Treo direct with Outlook on your computer for contact information and calendar events?
So my secondary point is that the iPhone is not really ready for corporate life yet unless you are willing to put a LOT of effort into setup, which I was.
A MobileMe account is not designed for business use - it is designed for personal use and the idea is using the MM email address and account as your primary email account/address.
I access my MM account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Setup for both took minutes. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account for over a year with my first generation iPhone, or with my iPhone 3G. This is when connected via various wi-fi networks with different ISPs and via EDGE or 3G.
If you are trying to access legacy POP accounts that don't have an authenticated SMTP server, you will have problems. I don't know what was different with your Treo in this regard, but the device has nothing to do with an ISP blocking the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for the internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This has nothing to do with the iPhone.

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.
