Receiving Mail form an HTTP account

Hello,
can you setup a mail account in within Mail to receive mail from an HTTP account?
My email for my business account comes from my website and I don't see an option for creating an account to receive mail from the HTTP account.
is this possible?
Thank you,,
Roger

Your question maybe better asked in the Mail and Address Book discussions:

I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail. What should I do?

I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail. What should I do?

Hello, sounds like you haven't switched to iCloud yet, the old dot Mac & MobileMe servers are going away or gone for most already.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

TS3276 Hi I cannot receive mail on my .mac account?

Hi I cannot receive mail on my .mac account why do you think this is?

See this Apple note on troubleshooting icloud mail: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002

TS4002 can´t receive mail on my icloud account and have already tried everything

can´t receive mail on my icloud account and have already tried everything

Unless you tell us what you have tried that didn't work, we have no way of knowing.
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to ICloud then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync your Mail view Wi-Fi.
If you already tried that and it didn't help, try here > iCloud: Troubleshooting Mail

TS3899 my iphone wont receive mail even my hotmail account

why wont my mail receive in my inbox on my iphone ?? i need it to work because i am resetting my apple id password because it says it has been disabled !! it says i have 51 inbox but then when i click on it it has nothing there !! please help i need my mail to receive to me !!

This is a Gmail issue. The iphone doesn't make up the message that your username or password is incorrect unless gmail report that back when it tries to log you in.
This is usually caused by two step verificaiton on a gmail account. Since iOS Mail cannot get SMS enabled verification codes, Gmail has created an 'App Specific Password" system. Check this out and see if you have created a 2nd password specifically for your gmail on your iPhone.

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my Iphone? Also I would like to have different sounds when I receive mail in the different accounts. Is this possible?

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon? Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?

No.
You need to review this (WYSISWG):

Not receiving mail to my iCloud account on my Mac

I set up an Apple ID using my gmail account, using this address also for mail, notes and calendar. When iCloud was released, I set up a new iCloud email address, using this in conjunction with my Gmail account in the Mail app, the app displaying this account's inboxes in addition to it as an optional sending address. Recently, I wanted to discontinue the use of my Gmail account in favour of my new iCloud address, as such I disabled Gmail for 'Mail' in the settings on my iOS devices and deactivated this account in the Mail app on my Mac. Strangely however, I no longer seem to receive messages that are sent to my iCloud account, no forwarding address or filters are in place and I have taken mailboxes offline and online in turn to refresh to no effect. The message that have been sent to my iCloud account (that is now completely disconnected from my Gmail) seem to be ending up as unread message in my Gmail inbox and not appearing anywhere in the Mail app now exclusively used for my iCloud address. When I check the message details in the browser version of Gmail, the message send address is in fact display as my iCloud address, however there is no trace of these on my actual iCloud account connected to the Mail app. This seems really bizarre.

So far, it sounds like you're set up correctly.
Two other thoughts:
1. The "Enable this account" box must be checked near the top of the preference page we've been looking at.
2. The "Advanced" tab for the account should look like this:

HT3228 I have an iphone4 (Verizon) and an iPad (AT&T), and starting this morning, neither device will receive mail from my Yahoo account. I can send email from that account (from either device), but nothing is coming into my inbox. Help!

I have an iphone4 (Verizon) and an iPad (AT&T), and starting this morning, neither one is receiving my mail from Yahoo. I can send an email from Yahoo on both devices, but I can't see any messages. It's clear that both devices know how many messages are in my inbox and how many are unread (I get a "Load More Messages" notice. Any ideas on how this can be fixed? After reading thru some discussions, it looks like the new operating system may be to blame. I only updated in the last few days... Help!

Yahoo's mail service is notoriously buggy. It's not your phone or your device.

Two email accounts, received mail going into both accounts

I have two email accounts in Thunderbird. One is a Gmail account and the other is Cox account. The issue I am having is that emails sent to the Gmail id account are showing up in the Cox email Inbox and vice versa. My question is...how can I get Thunderbird to only show the emails sent to the specific email id? thanks

I did as you suggested and deleted both accounts and the problem still exists. As an FYI both accounts are setup as Imap accounts. Any other suggestions?

Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

After I downloaded Yosemite I can no longer send mail with my google account only receive mail

I installed Yosemite and I wish I had waited , I can now receive mail on my google account but can't send
I just get the drop down box with Google off line try another server
My laptop works fine but that still has maverick on it any help would be appreciated.
I have already deleted all my mail accounts and rebooted but no luck after reinstalling mail as per laptop installation

Well, it happened again.
This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
I turned off both the modem and router. Started them back up and the problem still exists.
The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
It says it cannot send mail using my server.
I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
Again this problem is with 2 computers.
I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
It's around 5 years old.
Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
I am am at wits end with this problem.
I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.

Send and receive mail from different accounts.

I'm new to everything and I just posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm now thinking it belongs here.
How do I receive mail from my Gmail account and send from another account?
I have the incoming server as an IMAP and it works fine. The outgoing mail server is the problem. It's set up as a different username and everything, and it STILL sends it through my GMail account. I deleted the outgoing smtp gmail server with no success. What should I do?
Thanks!

Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again.
