Problems Setting Up Mail Account

I've been using Thunderbird and just want to give Mail that comes with OS X a try.
Having problems trying to send mail after setting up the account exactly as Thunderbird. SMTP.ATT.YAHOO.COM as outgoing and pop.att.yahoo.com as incoming.
I've tried everything but can not send mail.
Also, where is the stationary that can be sent out in the emails?
Thanks!

I was having the same problem. I finally found that when setting up the account do not check the box for Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and do not check Use Authentication. Tha did it for me.

  • Problem setting up mail account.

    I just got a mac, but I am having a problem setting up my email account. I have a yahoo account and I am trying to link it up with Mac Mail or Entourage. When I try to set it up on Yahoo it just says
    "Trying to log into mail server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" failed. This server may require an additional fee for POP access."
    Entourage just says that it failed to log in. What is the problem. I know that my password and username are all correct. Any other way I can get it linked, do I need to open another email account?

    "Trying to log into mail server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" failed. This server may require an additional fee for POP access."
    What is the problem.
    Well, the problem is stated clearly in the error message: "an additional fee for POP access".
    AFAIK you need a YahooPlus-account to be able to POP your mail. Free accounts gain webaccess only.

  • Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

    Hey everyone,
    Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
    We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
    Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
    Example serup of what we have done:
    Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
    The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
    Phone crashes?
    Any ideas whats going on?

    Hi Jim,
    Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010. 
    If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
    If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
    When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

  • I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there.  Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

    If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
    Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

  • Trying to set up mail account

    Hi,
    I'm on an Imac Intel that runs Windows and OSX. On the Windows side my email is set up and functioning through Outlook. I'm the only Mac in a Windows network and since the IT guy is totally ignoring me, I have decided it's time for me to figure out how to set my email up in Mac Mail.
    I've got that our email goes through Microsoft Exchange Server and I have the server name. I've got that it connects using LAN, I've got logon security network as Kerberos/NTLM Password Authentication.
    So, I set up the email account in Mac Mail, using the same server name for both incoming and outgoing and basically trying to imitate how it is set up on the Windows side, where it is working.
    The error I am getting says "The Exchange Server is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Incoming Mail Server field. If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email".
    Then when I go to Mac Mail and click get mail here is what I get:"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings or try again. The server error encountered was: The server refused to allow a connection on port 143.
    Then when I try to send an email, the error is "Cannot send message using the server (the server name I set up).
    So somewhere the settings aren't right but I don't know where to look. Like I said, I'm trying to imitate how it is set up in Windows but it's kind of vague. Like I can't find anywhere in Outlook or the Windows settings that has the actual outgoing server name. So I'm using the same one for incoming and outgoing. I'm sure it would take the IT guy 2 minutes but there seems to be a HUGE problem with responding to my requests.
    Any help, any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks so much!

    Hi Mina.
    Mail doesn’t support Exchange accounts directly, but rather accesses them as IMAP accounts. According to Mail Help’s “Setting up your email accounts” article:
    For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access.

  • Can't set up mail account in iPad 2

    My email account was from my company hp.com, but I was not able to set up a mail account in my new iPad.  It always said "unable verify account information",
    I tried many times by adding all details I have, but I still can't get it work.
    Please help me to stengthen out the problem and thank you so much for your time.

    What type of email account - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
    If an Exchange account, does your employer support accessing the account with an email client on a personal computer at home and/or with a device such as the iPad?

  • Setting up mail account

    Apologies if this question has already been answered. After scanning 12 pages of forum entries my eyes started to cross.
    I am trying to set up my mail account for the first time and I'm getting a window that asks me to enter my password for stmp.mac.com:mavixxx. Below that there is a message that says the stmp server rejected the password for mavixxx. Then asks me to re-enter my password or cancel.
    The problem is that I don't remember ever setting up a mail account in the past so there shouldn't be a password to enter yet. How do I get to square one?
    Thank you kindly in advance!

    Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
    Assuming there is nothing to be preserved there, quitting Mail and getting rid of those files would allow you to set up Mail from scratch. If you don’t have a .Mac account, but did set up one at some point in the past, however, you’ll also need to get rid of the corresponding .Mac account settings in System Preferences > .Mac before opening Mail again. Otherwise, Mail will try to automatically set up that mail account for you, which is what appears to be happening here.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Problem with iCloud mail account

    I've set my gmail and hotmail accounts to recieve mails on my iPhone, right? And it works no problem. But when update to iOS 5 and decided to merge contacts and mail accounts via iCloud I had to create the @me.com account, which I did, which in turn added a iCloud account into my mail. Its all peachy until this point since everytime I access the mail app it trys to retrieve mails from the iCloud only to get a notification saying: "The user name or password for iCloud are incorrect" giving me the option to go to settings and fix it, which I did a number of times and yet the problem persists.
    Is there something else I need to do??
    Thanks!

    Nope.  Turns out that even though I have two Macs running 10.9.4, the one in question doesn't get the SMTP settings changed by iCloud settings when the password is changed, so I had to "Edit" the account in Mail, plow down to the password settings for the Apple SMTP server, and change the password myself.  Nothing in the System Preferences iCloud setting tab lets you change any settings on the local machine.  Apple is sure they are controlling everything when you make changes in iCloud, but they are wrong.  Identical versions of 10.9.4 are configured differently on two different Macs.

  • Set one mail account set to manual fetch, but now autofetches automatically

    I have a iPhone 3GS and upgraded to OS 4 the other day. I have four email accounts on my phone. I have three set to autofetch every 15 minutes and the fourth account (which is email I use for spam and to sign up for stuff) is set to manually retrieve. I just don't want to be notified everytime I get some crap email. Wasn't a problem prior to the OS 4 update. It would check everytime i opened up the email app, but not otherwise.
    I have the settings the same as before with other accounts set to fetch every 15 minutes and the account (a Yahoo acct) set to manual fetch only. I also make sure that the email app is closed (i.e. not running in the background as OS 4 allows.) Still, it seems to fetch like all the others and is incredibly annoying.
    Any fixes?

    I am also having an issue with my iPhone 4 mail client.
    Prior to upgrading to the 4 from my 3GS, the Mail app would only download new mail when prompted to manually (ie, on app launch or on manual check).
    Currently, all settings indicate that mail is set to fetch only manually, yet is downloaded 100% of the time without prompting when launching any of the following apps:
    Yelp
    Phone
    iPod
    It launches intermittently with any of the following apps (between 50% and 75% of the time):
    Facebook
    Photos
    Camera
    Tron
    Breakspin
    Wikipedia
    Messages
    The mail app also randomly downloads intermittently, without any prompting from myself as a user.
    I have checked, rechecked, and triplechecked the settings. Push is off, fetch is set to manual in all applicable locations, and I have rebooted and reset the phone. I've even gone so far as to restore from a backup, to no avail.
    My accounts are checking from MobileMe and from a personal (non-Yahoo, non-AT&T) e-mail account.
    This is, needless to say, most frustrating.
    Apple, any chance of a bit of feedback, here?

  • Interesting note when setting up mail accounts

    Hi everyone
    I must say, I've only had the iphone for 2 weeks and love it. I'm a long-time mac user, and finally got rid of my smart phone from work and replaced it with the iphone. It's the killer app, and does more than I ever imagined.
    I just thought this info below on setting up email may be of interest to those having issues, as my experience may help.
    Everything set up and sync'd great: mail, calendar, songs, etc...no problems, that is until configuring email. I have 3 different accounts 1) private roadrunner account via time warner, 2) work email, and 3) Google
    Google
    Worked great, just followed the on-screen set up. Selected Google email, entered my user name and password, and all was AOK...sending and receiving.
    Work Email
    Obviously I needed to get the outgoing server configuration to send emails. And I know the iphone and the mail app is not really at fault per se for some issues, as you need to get the right data for it to work...however, making the various attempts to change the settings (trial and error, trying different port settings, etc) seemed to change other settings. For example, when i changed the outgoing setttings in a specific account, then switched out from the setting function to the mail app, i found out latter that my incoming settings were 86'd for that same account. I went to re-enter them, over and over to no avail. Seems like the process for changing the incoming/outgoing settings affect one another.
    bottom line, i finally was able to send work email, after completely leaving the outgoing area blank (yes, blank), then under advanced, plugging in 25 for the port. How this works is beyond me, but it's working.
    Roadrunner
    First, same issues as above. But I had to search message boards for RR's outgoing server...it ended up being cwmx.com...but again, you have to leave the outgoing user name and password blank, then under advanced you set the port to 25. It works, and i'm not fu%king with it!
    Hope your email set up goes better than mine.
    Cheers,
    Stephan

    which preference files did you trash? did you trash homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist? if have not set up any accounts then quit mail and try trashing this file. then start Mail and see if you can set up an account. if that does not help, create a new user account, log into it and try setting up Mail there.

  • Setting Up Mail Accounts

    My high school has our email addresses linked with Gmail, but I would like to recieve my emails on my iPad2. If my school email ends in @education.nsw.gov.au but is still somehow linked with Gmail, how would I set that up using the mail account settings on my iPad2?

    I can´t belive that no one here is running a Mail server on Lion server that is accessable with imap using iOS devices!  Is mail server on Lion really that bad?

  • Problem setting up store account on new iphone

    Hi,
    I've just got an iphone 3gs for my wife, but I'm having a lot of difficulty setting up an account for her. I first tried to sign in with my own apple id. When I tried to download a free app, I was asked to verify my account, but when I put in the right details, clicked next - nothing happened. There were no error messages, the screen just doesn't move on and the next button disappears. So I tried to setup a new account for her. This time I got as far as the new account window, put in her email, password, dob and ticked subscribe options, pressed next - and again, nothing. The screen just sits there. I've installed updates and tried a hard reset. The other curious thing is that each time I hook the phone up to my Mac it sets it up as a new phone.
    Any help v much appreciated!

    Then you need to generate an application specific password to read gmail using the iOS mail app. The alternative is to download the gmail app from the app store and use it to manage your gmail.
