Problems setting up POP mail accounts on E71

i am having problems to set up my POP email accounts on my E71. the first account works, but only retrieves email- it won't send any.
the secong POP account is a gmail account and i have set iit up but it won't even connect. if anyone knows, what are the correct setting for security (Ports) and port number? i used the same setting as in my laptop but it just won't connect on the E71.
Please help!

Problem setting up new mail account

I think when I got my macbook about 3 years ago I must have tried to set up an account for the 'mail' application. I no-longer remember wither my user-name or my password. When I open the app it comes up with a window explaining that I will be given guide-lines on how to create a new account, however, no guidelines are given and it just wants me to enter my use name and password, which it then does not recognise (it seems to therefore assume that I already have an account rather than helps me to set one up). The ending of the user-name is already written in (and is unalterable, as it's outide the bit I type in) and is "@mac.com" even though my Apple ID ends in "@mac.co.uk" (as I am from the UK) - should any of the details for my mail account be the same as my Apple ID?
Would be grateful for some help!

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.
Not sure on the .uk thing, but is Date & Time>Time Zone set to the UK?

Could someone PLEASE tell me how to set up more than one POP mail account.

I am soooo frustrated. Before I upgraded to Tiger I had no problems setting up my mail accounts. Now, I can only set up one POP mail account. I have three mail accounts that I desperately need to set up from the same ISP server, all POP accounts. On Panther and earlier, all I had to do was add the accounts. Now I have ONE POP account and when I try to set up another I get an error message that I already have a POP account set up. Why is this happening and what happened to the old system that worked just fine. I am so annoyed with this. It simply defies logic!!!!

I don't know if this will work or not, but why don't you try using bogus pop and/or smtp server information when you initially establish the accounts with Mail's setup wizard? Just continue through the "warning: cannot validate server" messages that the wizard will give you. Then go into Mail > preferences > accounts and highlight each of the new accounts, one at a time, and try changing the incoming pop and outgoing smtp mail server information to what it is supposed to be?
For the "Outgoing" server just use the pull-down menu, to select it, and when all accounts are done, go into that same pull-down menu and choose "Edit Server List..." to remove the bogus smtp server information.
Incoming should be just renaming that pop server in the "Incoming server" field.
If that doesn't work, I've got something riskier you could try, again with no guarantees, and that is editing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file using either the Property List Editor that comes with XCode Tools (will launch automagically when you click on that .plist file if XCode is installed) or with the pico editor in Terminal, and possibly renaming some folders in your ~/Library/Mail folder, too. Again, start with the bogus server info, then find those entries in the .plist file and make changes there.
Note: if not familiar with the notation, "~" means your "home" directory.

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. how do I correct the problem?

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. How do I correct this so that I can set up my email account?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.

Problem setting up smtp mail out .

Hi all you good people .
I am having a problem setting up the mail program . I'm using mail two under os-x leopard 10.5.7 . I have the pop mail working fine , but for some reason or another it wont send the mail out . I remember I got it working before , but it was a pain in the butt to do . So I ma forced to use Microsoft Entourage for my mail receiving and sending . I think Microsoft Takes more skill to use than the apple mail program .
I would love for someone to help me solve this . My mail server is from time warner . I use there High speed internet for my mail access .
P.S Roadrunner .

Hi,
I assume you are using Mail 3.6, and not "mail two"?
What Authentication are you using on this SMTP? If not already, try using None, and removing Password and Username from SMTP setup for at least one test. Most Roadrunner SMTP are authenticated by reference to the IP address of your Modem, and using a separate authentication of the SMTP results in failure.
Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, then click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP in the section on Outgoing Server. After you click on the arrows, choose Edit Server List. Then if the SMTP is set up with the correct name, etc, click on the Advance Tab, use Custom Port with Port 25, None as authentication, and do not enter any Username and Password. Under authentication of None, the name of the SMTP will not have your Username appended. This is the equivalent, after having previously done the set up, to those email clients with a setting to use the info of the Incoming for authentication.
Let us know, but Roadrunner can vary from area to area on this, but this is the way it seems to always work.

Deleted POP mail account and messages went with it. HELP!!!!!!

To start off, I am fairly new to the Mac world. I have been having problems with Mail and my outgoing smtp server. I thought that if I deleted my pop mail account and then recreated it it would stop hanging on my outgoing mail. I am a previous Windows user and this practice causes no harm there and I mistakenly drew the same conclusion here. So I deleted the account and then set it up again and low and behold all of my messages are now gone except for the 850 or so that I have had this year.
Is there anywhere that I can find the old mail messages hidden on my mac? I'm sure that it has them saved somewhere, I just don''t know where to look. I would really appreciate any help. I had about 6000 messages from the last couple of years and I often need to search back through old emails.

When you go to delete an account, a warning pops up displaying
"This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected."
If you acknowlege the warning and click 'OK' then the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages are permanently deleted from your computer.
If you want to have any hope of salvaging the data from the hard disk, you'll need to stop using the computer and either install data recovery software(FileSalvage, for example) on an external HD or send the disk out to a data recovery service.
For future reference, if you find yourself wanting to start over with a Mail account-or any app-you can delete the .plist file for the app from Users/~/Library/Preferences

Pop mail account and duplicates on mail.ap

Hi,
Mail is duplicating messages, I have a pop mail account and the preference setting is to erase messages on the server.
Some duplicates are from Nov 2006; after I erased all messages using the terminal and ssh connection.
I was told to rebuild mail index and did it, no improvement.
.......... any help appreciated, I have invested many hours into erasing duplicates ... thanks, Garrett
Why don't you try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When that's done, any duplicates or ghost messages should be gone..

Sorry, both at once is confusing in retrospect.
Just meant backup the whole works and drag the current cache & envelope out of their locations to the desktop.
What about the plist?
You can make a Copy of that to move to the Desktop. Sometimes that needs to be made anew also, but requires putting in account info and such, so we generally wait on that one.
What about the files on the desk top?
If everything works right, we can trash them, if nit we can mive them back.
I'm not sure from these ideas what might be the result or why there is a problem in the first place.
Same here, but those files can become corrupt.

How do I set up a mail account for an older macbook?

I'm trying to set up a mail account for my dad on a used (but refurbished) macbook. It's running 0SX10.6.8. I'm not sure how to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. I didn't have to do this for my macbook air and my brother did not have to do it for his pro. I don't know if im supposed to use POP or IMAP. A window will pop up asking for the account type, incoming mail server, user name, and password. I don't know what to do from here.

Hello,
Your Internet/email service provider should be able to tell you exactly what to enter. You may also want to take a look at the following web page:

Using a POP mail account in mac mail

My friend has an AT&T sbcglobal POP mail account he has added to his mac mail app. Since it is POP mail it is not always received in his mac mail box if AT&T Yahoo account receives it first. I guess he can prevent the Yahoo mail box from downloading the messages if he signs out of the Yahoo account.But he also has an iPhone. So will he still have the race problem between the computer & the iPhone on which gets the mail first?
Appreciate any suggestions on how this can be solved?

For POP:
The following mail server settings will work with all AT&T email domains: @ameritech.net, @att.net, @bellsouth.net, @flash.net, @nvbell.net, @pacbell.net, @prodigy.net, @sbcglobal.net, @snet.net, @swbell.net, @wans.net.
Email Program Settings Field:
Enter:
Incoming (POP)
inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:
POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:
Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected], [email protected])
Incoming mail port #:
995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #
465, secure connection (SSL) checked
I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

If you delete a POP mail account in Mac Mail can you get your mails back?

This has happened to a client of mine. She'd just set up a new account for her email as she'd moved servers. She had an old POP mail account on her Mac Mail for two years which she deleted and now all of her old sent mails are gone plus everything from the inbox that wasn't moved into folders.
How do you get those emails back? (I'm not sure if she has been using Time Machine to back everything up)
Will re-creating the old account help?

If she hasn't been backing up with Time Machine (or a full backup which hasn't been overwritten) they are gone. Recreating the account won't being them back.
If she has Time Machine, open (user)/Library/Mail in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Navigate backwards looking for a folder named POP- and the name of the account. Use TM to restore that.

When I try to set up e-mail accounts the mail settings icon goes back to main screen. I have tried restoring and the same thing happens.

I have a new ipad2 3G and have a vodafone sim. Internet is working, but when I try to follow instructions to set up e-mail accounts (Settings/Mail Settings) it pops back to the main menu screen. I have restored and checked that restrictions are set to off, but still the same thing happens.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?

Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.
