Problem syncing e mail

Hi everyone hoping you can help. I bought Iphone and they set it up for my virgin mail which I could view on my iphone and on my PC via virgin web mail. I then decided to try outlook2007 which has imported the settings to my PC fine so that all mails to my virgin address appear through Outlook 2007. However I now can't seem to set up my Iphone correctly. I thought I could just set it up to sync with outlook via I tunes. However my contacts and calender is fine but I can't pick up e mails. Do I need to set it up again on the phone. I've tried to do this but can't get it set up correctly. Any help would be much appreciated.

same problem and tried all the remedies!
except in the uk on O2 but still with a .mac account

  • Problem syncing updated Mail accounts to iPod Touch

    I updated all my Mail accounts to IMAPs, but iTunes still syncs the old POP account information to the Touch. So when using Mail on my iPod Touch, the settings are old from POP, and on my Mac, Mail is perfectly fine with new IMAP settings. How can I make iTunes realize that those POP settings do not exist anymore and all my accounts are now IMAPs and to sync them to the Touch accordingly?

    Thank you both for the suggestion but..., the information that HerelsTom is suggesting, and the website that IIIaass is sharing a link too, I have already tried, (it was the first thing I found and tried). I reorganized the photos in the order I want by re-saving each photo in order so the Date Modified would be in descending order, and the order that I wanted, but it didn't work.
    Should I go to the Apple store and ask?

  • Problem syncing sent mail

    The "Sent mail" folder on my iPhone does not syncronize with the "Sent folder" in Mail on my mac. I use a .Mac account.
    How can i resolve this issue???
    Thanks in advance,

    Id be curious to know this as well. i've noticed on mine that it tries to send and then pops out of Mail. But when I go check my sent mail on Yahoo it was sent. AND when i've check if the email was recieved...normally...there are like 10 of the same emails depending on how many times I tried to send from the iPhone.

  • I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

    I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
    I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue. 
    I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
    I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
    Many Thanks.

    Progress Update.
    I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone.  I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
    Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted) 
    Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
    Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
    As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio.  The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
    I then went to bed as the restore is a long process.  When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up.  Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
    This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
    I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
    Here are the lessons learned.
    DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
    DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
    DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store.  (I did both :-(

  • Does anyone know how to sync aol mail to your iPad mail?

    I am having problems accessing aol mail from safari.  It comes up in code format.  I can check my mail from the mail app however it says I have 2000 messages all of which were already deleted from my aol account.  I would like to sync the accounts so I don't have to manually delete 2000 messages.  The aol page allows you to sync a phone or an iPod.... No button for iPad.  If someone knows what I should do, all suggestions welcome!  Thanks so much!

    Sorry about that, try this link, http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/02/transfer-playlist-from-ios-to-itunes/

  • I'm having a trouble getting icloud mail without my personal email. All icloud features syncs unless mail didn't sync I am running mac ox 10.7.2 any ideas?

    I’m having a trouble getting icloud mail without my personal email. All icloud features syncs normally unless mail didn’t sync I am running mac ox 10.7.2 any ideas?

    I discovered that my cord was bad. I used someone else's cord and then it worked - that's how I was able to determine it was the cord, so I replaced it. (In case someone else has a similar problem.)
    BTW, I'm still having a problem syncing my iCal, so I posted that problem in the iCal forum. If you think you can help, please look for my message there.

  • TS3988 "Problem turning on mail" -iCloud

    I'm attempting to sync notes on my iPhone through the cloud. When I hit the slider in iCloud preferences to do this, I'm prompted to create an "@iCloud" email address. When I attempt to do this, I get an alert that reads "Problem turning on mail. There was a problem turning on your email, try again."
    I've tried many times and restarted my phone, to no avail. My calendar, reminders, contacts etc. all sync up just fine.
    I'm running iOS 6.0 (beta) and Mountain Lion. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I have the same exact problem on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.  I've read dozens of forum posts but have yet to find an answer.

  • Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP

    Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP?  Having a problem syncing to our mail server: doesn't sync properly when multiple devices use same mail acct.  Spoken w/ mail hosting provider who says Apple Mail doesn't follow IMAP protocol properly leaving Apple Mail users to experience a variety of problems when connecting to IMAP accounts.  Among them:
    - Improper syncing
    - Proliferation of drafts during composition of an email.
    - Connections on the mail host do not close automatically and proliferate over time until the host rejects further connection requests.
    Hosting provider goes on to suggest turning off IDLE command.  In my experience turning this feature off did not improve the situation.  In fact, it created a few.
    Question: Is the hosting provider correct in faulting Apple Mail?
    Been fielding the question with a number of people.  I'm aware of three people who are experiencing similar problems, each using different mail hosts.  Tech reps at inmotionhosting.com and nexcess.com point the finger at a Apple Mail, along with an IT specialist in Los Angeles, CA, and a tech support rep at an Apple Store in Arizona who said that Apple and Google mail are aware of and coordinating to resolve the problem.
    Anyone out there have any insights into this?

  • Problem syncing ical on iphone and macbook pro

    Hi,
    After downloading ios8 I have noticed that I have problems syncing my calendars to and from my phone and computer. I have tried a variety of solutions:
    1) I have turned "on" the sync button on the phone under settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> icloud -> calender "on"
    2) I have checked the box under system preferences in the macbook under iCloud -> calender "on"
    3) I have tried deleting both from the computer and the phone and then reloading them.
    I'm out of ideas. I deleted a lot of things to make room for ios8 on my phone, so I am wondering if I disabled something or prevented syncing then, because it has been happening for about ~2 weeks since I downloaded the new software. Any ideas?

    First make sure the events are being added to your iCloud calendar and not a non-iCloud calendar such as On My Mac, On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, an exchange account, etc.
    If you are and they still aren't syncing, the first step is to determine if the issue is with your phone or your Mac.  Add a new calendar event on each one, then check your calendar on iCloud.com to see which one doesn't appear there.
    If the event from your phone doesn't appear on iCloud.com, try force-closing the calendar app and resetting your phone.  To do this, double-tap the home button, locate Calendar, swipe up on it to close it, then tap the home button again.  Then reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  After it restarts, test your calendar again.  If it still isn't syncing, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud.  Then sign back in (your data will download back to your phone) and test your calendar again.
    If the even from your Mac doesn't appear on iCloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  Then test your calendar again.

  • Icloud does not sync my mail correctly

    I am having problems with icloud syncing my mail immediatly.  It used to do this, but no longer does.  For example, as soon as I deleted an email on my phone, it would delete off my notebook.  Now, I have to delete it from both locations.  Same for receiving mail and replies/forwards.  Anybody know of a fix?

    Frequently there is a lag in time.  Try giving it more time for the changes (deletes/moves) to take hold.

  • Problem with Mavericks Mail and Exchange 2013

    Hello,
    I have just updated to Mavericks a few days ago. Now I have a strange problem.
    The setup with Exchange 2013 works fine ... so I can send&receive mails.
    The problem: I only get new mails. All (few thausand) mails stored on the Exchange account are not synced to mail?!
    Maybe anyone has an idea how to solve this ...
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Some problems with Exchange mail have been solved by disabling Autodiscovery. If that doesn't work, see below.
    Back up all data. Delete the Exchange account from the Internet Accounts preference pane and add it back. If there's still no improvement, continue.
    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Problem turning on Mail.

    Several months ago, I set up mail just fine on my computer and iPhone 3GS. I'm trying to set it up on my husband's 3GS and keep getting an error message. I go to settings, iCloud, slide the slider to turn on mail, select create free account, and it says "Problem Turning On Mail" and in smaller font, "There was a problem turning on your email, try again."
    My husband hasn't used his me account for anything more than iTunes, and maybe an occasional email. Does iCloud need to be set up first on his computer, before his phone. If so, we're ordered and are waiting for Lion. He's got an older macbook pro (2006), and I was told by apple it can't run anything further than that. I can use his log in and password to access iCloud on my computer. He just wants it on his phone now.
    So, do we need to wait to install Lion and set up iCloud on his computer first, or is there something I'm not doing correctly to set iCloud up on his phone. We

    I'm not sure why you are getting this error when trying to set up iCloud email on his phone but you do not need to sync your computer with iCloud in order to use iCloud email on your phone.  All you need to do is set up a valid iCloud account on the phone.  If deleting the account and trying to set it up again doesn't get it to work, set up an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Problem syncing calendars with MobileMe

    I have a weird problem with my 2nd gen iPod touch and MobileMe. I have several iCal calendars on my current generation MacBook Pro, MacPro, and iMac current generation, all of which are in sync with MobileMe. I have no problem syncing anything else with my iPod touch, except birthdays and my personal calendar.
    For some reason, all the events in my personal calendar are missing on my iPod touch and so are birthdays. I have been looking through all the options I can think of on iCal, Mac OS X 10.5.6 preferences, and on MobileMe, and the online helps to no avail.
    How do I get my personal events and birthdays back on my iPod touch? I tried power cycling it, but that didn't help. I tried resetting it and restoring the settings via iTunes. No go. All my software is current, including the iPod touch. Any ideas on how to fix this issue are welcome.

    NP.
    This is sort of the generic fix for this type of issue.
    We see it on Exchange, Mail, POP, etc.
    Affectionately known as the "flush & fill"
    Usually works.
    Glad it did for you.
