Questions about AOL accounts, iPhone created email accounts

In my Mail app on my iMac, I have been using the IMAP access to my AOL email accounts, but I see you can set up your AOL accounts on the iPhone as well. Are these two ways of accessing my AOL email the same or different?
Also, to try the push mail features of a Yahoo account, I signed up for one and then entered the account info on my iPhone, but it doesn't seem to create or sync over the account to Mail on my iMac. Stil not seeing the difference between push mail and accessing my IMAP AOL email inbox.
Anyway, should I just leave well enbough alone in that my AOL email accounts transfereed to the iPhone from Mail, or is setting them up on iPhone going to give me any different/better features? Also, should I just enter the new Yahoo account info in Mail on my iMac manually?
Thanks much!

I also seem to be having some issues when sending email through the smtp.aol.com settings imported in from Mail when trying to send an email from my iPhone on another wireless network other than my one at home.

  • Question about the order to creating Account, Contact, Contact Role

    Hi, my friends,
    I have some questions about the order of creating Account, Contact, Contact Role, etc in Web Service 1.0. I could create them in the following case:
    1. Insert Contact object and get contactId (now new contact exists in CRMOD)
    2. Insert Account object with Contact Role child associated with contactId
    My questions are:
    1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).
    2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?
    Thanks

    Hi Ray,
    In response to your questions:
    1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).No. Both the Account and Contact must already exist. The Role value is an attribute on the Account Contact relationship, this relationship must exist in order to assign a role value to it. This is consistent with the behaviour of the UI, when you press the New button on the Contact child applet, you are taken to the Contact New page where you can create a Contact record. Once you save, the relationship is created but you cannot assign a role value unless you click the Edit Roles link next to the new Contact.
    2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?Correct, the system needs to know which Account/Contact pair is being assigned a role value. To do this the Account and Contact values must be uniquely identified using the Id values for each.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Creating email accounts for kids?

    I'd like to set up email accounts for my kids, but I'd like them to be part of my apple ID.  I've been exploring apple, and I can see how to create a new email but not how to add additional email accounts to my apple ID.  Any suggestions?

    Each iCloud account/ID can only have a single iCloud email account.  If you wanted to create additional iCloud email accounts, you would have to create additional iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  A limitation to be aware of in this regard is that each iOS device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.  Given this, you may be better off creating email accounts with a different provider for them, such as Gmail.

  • My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    my friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    You can't.  Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID.  In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
    In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer.  And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
    He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
    Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

  • IPhone 3gs Email accounts duplicated on my iPhone

    I just joined iCloud and have 2 iPhone 3gs users sharing the same iTunes and iCloud account.  Inexplicably the 3 Yahoo! email accounts I had set up on my iPhone prior to joining iCloud are now showing up twice on my phone (so if I have 3 emails in one account it actually shows 6 emails unread).  How do I fix this without screwing up my email accounts?
    P.S. - If someone could respond in layman's terms it would help tremendously.

    I have the same problem with all of my email accounts on my iphone 4S. But it's not the phone, it's something to do with iCloud. I hope someone can answer this question because it's really annoying. I've already removed one of my accounts from the iphone and look online. I'm considering doing the same with my other email addresses.

  • Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

    I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
    Any help would be great.

    Hello,
    If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
    If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
    AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
    In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
    This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

  • Restoring iPhone's Email Accounts / Backup Location

    I want to restore my iPhone to eliminate the email address cache. One of my email accounts on the phone is for an Exchange Server account and required a certificate when I originally set it up. Does anyone know if the certificate is part of the backup, or will O need to track down the certificate again and then reinstall it?
    Also, where on my Mac are the backup files?
    Thanks!

  • IPhone duplicates email account

    Hi,
    My IPhone keeps duplicating email accounts since last week.
    I normally have 7 email accounts (5 googles IMAP, 1 institutional POP and 1 hotmail).
    It started last week when I now I had 8 account, one being the exact copy of a already existing account (a google one). When I was receiving a new email, both account would automatically show the new email.
    I restored the IPhone from ITunes, and it came back to the normal situation.
    Then three hours after restore, I had 12 email accounts. All the google IMAP were duplicating. And now my IPhone gives me an error message saying that one of the google account does not have the proper user name or password (when it does, I re-entered it without succes).
    I searched on this forum and on google and did not find anything about this problem.
    Any one had a similar problem before?

    I have exactly the same problem! Even the email account that won't accept the correct password! iTunes syncs my email accounts with Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 64-bit pc across to my new iPhone 4S and all except a new email account and the iCloud account have duplicates. I have reinstalled iTunes and deleted and re-added my mail accounts in outlook, all to no avail.
    I have no idea what the problems is and am fairly disappointed about this. If anyone has any information please assist.

  • Can I have more than one iphone per email account?

    When my son got his iphone 4s I used my email address since he didnt have one yet.  I have since gotten an Iphone 4s also, but when I went to activate it I had to put it under another email account, since mine was used for my sons iphone, so I used my husbands.  My husband now has an iphone on order and I was wondering if there was a way of having more than one phone per email account?

    I would set up a new email for him.  That will give you a new icloud account.  Also any apps that he downloaded with your ID will forever be linked to that ID and can only be updated with that ID.  If that is a problem then you might delete those apps and download them again with the new ID ( and if they were paid apps you need to pay again)
