Setting up email on my iphone

I am setting up email on my iphone.  A window came up stating it cannot connect, do I want to try without SSL.  I figure from some of the discussion out there I probably need SSL as a security for my iphone.  So..now I am at the part where it asks me for my name, email account, password.  I have typed that in.  A new page shows up with a button for IMAP and one for POP.  Under those buttons there are three sections.  the first section has my name, email address and a description.  The second section is titled Incoming Mail Server displaying HOST name, user name & password.  The third section is titledOutgoing Mail Server with the same information as the second section.  When I save a window comes up and says this account may not be able to send or received emails.  Are you sure you want to save?  Before now, I have entered this info several times before I came to you.  What is the Host Name?  It looks like one should be inbound emails and the other outbound emails.  Where do I get the Host name?

Iphones will automatically enter the correct setting when an account is created. delete account and add it back. It will ask for your email addy and password.

    Depends on what type of email you're trying to add though.

    If you need to add an "other" type account, the article also has a template for the info you would need from your email provider.

    Set up email on my iphone 5c and now it is downloading every email I have ever received.  Even old emails from months ago, how do I make it stop?

    When creating an antiquated POP account with a new email client, all received email that remains at the incoming mail server is downloaded as new and unread email.

  • Setting up email account on iphone 4s

    Can someone run through the steps of setting up emails on my new phone.  I don't seem to be able to understand terminology (ieOutgoing Mail Server 'Host Name') and Incoming Mail Server 'Host Name' User name and password.  Is the password relating to my provider?  Also was does IMAP and POP mean and which one do I choose?

    Yes - same issue.  I am able to work my yahoo email fine on my iPad, but just bought the iPhone 4s today and cannot set it up for the same reason you state.
    I walked through the advanced sections of both iPad and iPhone and they are set up the same, so I have no idea why this is not working.

  • Unable to set up email account on iPhone

    Hello everyone,
    Please bear with me because I am new to the iPhone and a recent convert from Blackberry. OK, here is my problem.
    I have 3 email addresses, 2 of them have set up just fine and dandy on my iPhone, the third refuses to get past the bit where you type in the imcoming and outgoing server bits (I've copied the setting exactly from Microsoft Outlook so I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right). It says that 'secure connection failed' and that 'the certificate may not be valid', I've tried clicking on continue anyway but nothing happens, it just tries for ages to verify the account. I'd be grateful if someone could please help.
    Best Wishes,
    Jules

    A quick Google search tells me that Webmail is an Earthlink system.
    Perhaps one of these POP server settings will work?

    If you have an IT department or Internet administrator within your company, they may also be of assistance.
    Best of luck!

  • HT1393 Cannot set up email account on iphone.

    No matter what I do in setting up my primary account on my iphone it keeps telling me my username and/or password is incorrect. I'm 100% sure it's correct. The account was working perfectly and nothing changed. I still use the email on my desk top so I know it is valid. It may even fetch the mail occasionally.Does anyone have any ideas?

    If this is a gmail account you may need to go here to unlock it for you phone: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

  • How do you set up email on the iPhone?

    Updated my iPhone from a 4 to a 4S. I restored from back up but now having a problem with my email where I can receive emails but can't send. When I attempt to send, I get the message "Cannot Send Mail  — The user name or password for "SMTP:(my email address)@smtpauth.earthlink.net" is incorrect."
    I use the password I've always used to get access to the server via webmail, but this doesn't seem to work. Is there some other credential form I should be using?
    Thanks Apple Community for your help.

    If you start sending an email, then cancel and save it, the iPhone will create a Drafts folder for you. When you send an email, it will create a Sent folder.
    There is no way for you to create any other folder other than Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash. If you use an IMAP account, you can create folders on your IMAP server, and those will replicate down to your iPhone.

  • How can I set up email in my iphone 4?

    I tried so many times to set up, I start to do it, settings, mail..., add account, I chose outlook I add my email and password, verified but that's it, It doesn't show me for IMAP or POP... to add my info.. What should I do?   It doesn't works....     I did it with gmail and works perfectly, immediately.

        Hello Agdade,
    I'd love to provide insight into your inquiry. I appreciate all that you've done thus far. Let's ensure we get this e-mail set up.
    I found a very helpful link from our friends at Microsoft that will help you set up the outlook e-mail. The key when setting up a POP3 or IMAP with outlook is choosing "other" as an option.http://bit.ly/UAUkfm

  • Setting new email account on iphone not working - but same EXACT account settings on iPad working fine.

    I am attempting to setup my website's email on my new iPhone 5s iOS 7.1.2 
    I have Yahoo! setup and working perfectly.  But when I attempt to setup the new email account using the same exact settings that are on my iPad - I get an error that says the username or password is incorrect.  I have rebooted the phone and no luck.  I have attempted to setup the account as both IMAP as well as POP3... and get the same error message.  I know that this is a situation that the password is correct and the error message isnt telling me what is really going on.  Does anyone have any idea?

    Yahoo has hundreds of mail servers that are notorious for being out of sync. In all likelyhood, you are hitting two completely different servers on your iPad and your phone.
    It's a Yahoo problem. The best thing you can do to alleviate the problem is dump Yahoo and move to something else for email. It's been like this for years. I wouldn't expect to see it fixed anytime in the foreseeable future.

  • Setting up email on the iPhone

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know if it is possible in some way to configure the ports for the incoming mail server on the iPhone?
    I wish that it was possible to do that since it's not standard and it also uses TLS.
    Many thanks for any info!

    I don't believe so, but if you are accessing the account with the Mail.app on your Mac, you can transfer the account settings from the Mail.app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

  • Im trying to set up email on my iphone4 and it is saying "cannot connect using SSL" what does this mean?? what am i doing wrong because i cannot set up email??

    how do i set up email on my iphone??? it says "cannot connect using ssl" whats this mean, i cant recieve or send emails coz of this

    Try just choosing yes when it says that.  And yes if you get it a second time.  Lots of mail providers don't use SSL.
