Problems with pop mail password with iPhone

I have recently purchased an iPhone and after configuring my email POP account using iTunes to do so on my iPhone, I have begun getting a password request for my incoming mail on my macbook. It seems there is a conflict and continues to ask for it sometimes 10 or 15 time in a row without being able to connect to my email on my mac. What should I do?

POP3 accounts aren't really designed for being accessed from multiple devices at the same time. Some POP3 email providers lock the account while another device is accessing it, which may be why your Mac is asking for the password.
Set the account up as IMAP on both the Mac and iPhone and it should work fine. You'll also have the added benefit of your email being completely in sync on both devices, so when you read email on the iPhone it is also marked as read on the Mac and vice versa, and sent mail on one device appears in the Sent Mailbox on the other.

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached?

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached? I receive the following message:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Is there a fix for this?

Anyone? I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'... but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me. I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it. But still having the same issue.

TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S? I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password for my user address. Can you help please.

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password and I do not know what is meant. Can you help. I cannot receive or send messages on thunderbird. You say you have sent a reset message to me but it has not come through. I am searching messages on my ipad. I am on the verge of abandoning Thunderbird and continuing to use my ipad and yahoo account. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password and is not going to send you anything. I am not even sure where you requested that something be sent to you unless it is for the password to this forum which has nothing to do with your email.
Your email provider would have a link to reset your password on their email help page.
I would go to your providers web mail page and see if your username and password work thee. if they do then you might have incorrect server settings causing the password error.

I changed my itunes password only and now I can't update any of the apps I downloaded using the old password. I tried signing in with the old password with no luck. Can someone help please?

Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

Problems with POP account passwords after setting up iPhone

I bought and installed an iPhone yesterday.
I run a .mac and 5 POP email accounts. All were set up smoothly and work perfectly on the iPhone.
Email client is Apple Mail.
Since then the Apple Mail client is having difficulty retrieving mail. For all the POP accounts I am getting a password challenge response dialogue box asking for password.
I have tried re-entering them all incase the Keychain change to allow the iPhone access had corrupted them, but no difference.
If I can press Cancel on the dialogue box the account is set to offline by the Mail client. If however I persist with the Get Mail it will retrieve mail successfully without challenging password. I would say 8 times out of 10 it will challenge, the other 2 times it will retrieve normally.
Has anybody got suggestions/experience of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Damon

The incoming mail server for most POP accounts don't like or support two email clients on the same computer or on different devices accessing the incoming mail server at the same time.
I have a business POP account that I access with the Mail.app on my Mac and with the iPhone's email client and the account will eventually go offline with the Mail.app when using the iPhone to access the account at the same time.
This isn't an issue with an IMAP account and a .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.

I have problems with spam mail on my Iphone 4.

How can I refuse spam mail on my IPhone 4? I cann't fing teh solution on my IPhone.

Is it true that Thunderbird does no longer works well with POP mail servers and only works well with IMAP servers?

Our email host is telling us that our outdated POP mail server doesn't work well with Thunderbird and it the reason we're having sporadic difficulty sending out emails with attachments when using Thunderbird (no problems when sending emails directly from the email host's web portal and bypassing Thunderbird). We'll often get notification when using Thunderbird and trying to attach PDF'd documents to an email that "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server timed out." The email host company is advising that this problem will be solved if we upgrade from the free POP email to the not free IMAP email. True? Or are they just using this Thunderbird problem as an excuse to sign us up for unnecessary services?

I think they are using this as an excuse.
Messages are sent via SMTP. Both, POP and IMAP are protocols to receive mail.
In any case, it would be '''their''' 'outdated POP mail server', not yours.

Why POP Mail Account on Iphone not synching for incoming mails

I just setup my iphone mail account as a POP client to synch up with my corporate Outlook Mail.
For the outgoing mail server I used cwmx.com and for incoming I used the hostname provided by IT support person , with username and password as I would use on my outlook client.
No SSL used in our case.
The setting went fine as I did not see any errors,
but when I try to synch for new mails, it says checking and than says updated, but I don't see any mails coming in.
The send mail works fine from this account.
Can anyone help.

I think what you mean is that you cannot have an email POP account on a laptop and on iphone look for the same messages on the incoming server.
I mean exactly what I provided. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. When a POP account is accessed with more than email client, the setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded needs to be off with both email clients used to access the account.
And if accessed with more than one email client, you cannot have both email clients actively accessing the incoming mail server for new messages at or near the same time. If one email client checks the incoming mail server for new messages followed by another email client doing the same at or near the same time, the incoming mail server will lock the account's Inbox mailbox preventing the 2nd email client from accessing the account's Inbox mailbox and downloading new messages if any are available. This is a temporary lock and is due to a POP account being designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
The same does not apply to an IMAP account which is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with multiple email clients being able to access server stored mailboxes at the same time.

*Since this is a POP account, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded?*

POP Mail Password being "rejected"

I've Got Mail (1.3.11) going out to yahoo.com to pick up my mail from the POP server. It's set to check for mail every minute. Suddenly I keep getting a note that "the POP server 'pop.mail.yahoo.com' rejected the password for user 'petermbooth' Please re-enter your password or cancel." Then at the bottom of the window is a checkbox which says "Remember this password in my keychain." I check this and... The same thing happnens again within a few minutes.
Any ideas WHY this is happening? Yahoo IS accepting the password, because when I enter the password, it goes out and collects the mail. It's a couple minutes before the note comes back.
Ideas? This is very frustrating!

G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

this started happening with me about a week or two ago as well. i am running OS 10.4.4, the mail version i have is 2.05. this only happens with my yahoo email account. i also a google and .mac, which retrieves email just fine. i have tried deleting the account from the mail app and re-entering the account. that worked fine for about 20 minutes, then it started happening again. i have also tried deleting the keychain access for the password and selecting 'save to keychain' when you enter the password in mail, but again that didn't change anything.
all the problems started after i updated my computer, via software update, on jan. 11th. i updated quicktime to 7.0.4, itunes to 6.0.2, powerbook aluminum battery to 1.0, and OS X to 10.4.4. personally, i think there is something wrong with the 10.4.4 update. hopefully it will get taken care of soon.

Managing pop mail account on iPhone

I have a pop mail account on my PC with my ISP. I've added it to my iPhone so that I can remotely check mail. But I have only 3 folders - Inbox, Sent and Trash. I would like to add a folder to save messages rather than save them in the inbox. I don't seem to be able to do this. Even syncing my account doesn't work in this respect.
Is there a way to do this? It seems like a fairly standard thing...

Pop mail via the iphone...

Is the best way to set up a pop account via the iphone using the cwmx.com outgoing mail server?
Its seems that mail works then it doesnt...

Email account mailboxes and messages are not synced between the iPhone's Mail client and your computer's email client. The iPhone sync function for email accounts is for transferring email account setup information only from your computer to your iPhone.
A POP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on one computer or device.
An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices with the ability to store the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes on the server with each email client used to access the account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized automatically with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with a POP account.

Users Having Troubling Sending Email with Mac Mail Client with Godaddy

Hello,
I recently had issues' with my mail and my new Mac Pro and sending emails from www.godaddy.com. I tried 4 email clients and could retrieve my emails but the outgoing mail server keep rejecting my password. After I almost switch email companies I called one last person from godaddy. The support person James M suggested deleting the account in my email manager on godaddy system and re-created the account and everything works fine. Please note, to back up emails before doing this. I think something is corrupting something in the server that requires the deletion of the email account that is only effecting 10.64 users.
Best of luck,
M

Have GoDaddy reset the SMTP relays to 0 (zero), then back up to 250 (or whatever your limit is). This reset the password authentication and emails were sent fine afterwards. Good luck.
