Setting up Hotmail and other email accounts.

This is my first time using my new Macbook Pro and I'm struggling to access my email accounts. Can someone please help? It asks for things that I don't understand.
Thanks.

When I did it for Hotmail, it looked at the email address and found those on it's own.
If you have other accounts that it doesn't recognize simply by feeding it the address, you'll may have to contact those services for support (usually online) and find out what they expect you to use...they are all different.
You can usually type just part of the email after your name into a browser with the word setup (example: @emailsomething.com setup) and check the results.
Also, again, use the built-in help* (?), bottom right on the main prefs panel, for details on where to put server info after you find out the exact data:
-=-=-=-
Incoming Mail Server
Enter the name of the mail server where your messages arrive and wait for you to retrieve them; for example, mail.example.com. This information is typically provided by your email service provider.
Outgoing Mail Server
Select the mail server that sends your messages to their destination, or add a new server. This information is typically provided by your email service provider.

  • Hotmail and OTHER Email Accounts

    Hi
    I have set up my Hotmail account and it works flawlessly.
    I also set up another email account Under the "Other" type. It RECEIVES emails fine, but when trying to SEND I get a message after a few moments that the Email was Unable to be sent to [email protected], for example, and has been placed in my Outbox. The recipient "[email protected]" was rejected by the server as it does not allow relaying".
    I have made sure my Incoming and Outgoing servers have correct Passwords attached.
    Any thoughts?
    This is on an I-Phone4
    Rgds and thaks for help

    Is the SMTP server for this other account authenticated?
    I believe a Hotmail account has an authenticated SMTP server.
    Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the account's SMTP server is authenticated with a user name and password as is required when checking the account for new messages. When connected to the cellular network for internet access is not exception in this regard.

  • ICloud Mail and other Email Accounts

    I searched the discussion and I couldn't find a solution to my problem so I am hoping that someone on here has found a way to fix this iCloud issue.
    On my MobileMe account that I had before iCloud I had the mail set up to access all of my other Email accounts (6) in total. worked great never had a problem and I had one source for all of my Emails. I understand this is not the way iCloud works but here is my problem.
    I migrated my MobileMe account to ICloud and for some reason it still kept accessing all of my other Email accounts and consolidating them in my ICloud mail. (no I do not have the other accounts set to forward to iCloud, iCloud was accessing them and downloading the messages.) Now about a week ago that all stopped. When I checked on the discussions here I realized that iCloud was not suppose to work with the other Email accounts but for some strange reason it did for a while. That is fine, I then setup all of my Email accounts on my iPhone, iPad and Mac as IMAP accounts and everything was working fine again.
    Today for some unknown reason iCloud is accessing my accounts again and I just received hundreds of unread Emails (the last few days worth) from my other Email accounts. I understand there is no way to access your Email settings on iCloud but has anyone had a simialar problem, and if so how the heck do you get that link to the other Email accounts out of iCloud mail. I am considering just cancelling or deleting my iCloud account and setting up a new one if I can't find a way to fix this, it maybe my only option.

    I'm having the same issue and it's driving me nuts.
    For those who don't understand the question, here's the deal.  Prior to the unveiling of iCloud, MobileMe users had a feature available of pulling email from other, non-MobileMe pop accounts into their MobileMe inbox.  There was a setup screen under preferences within MobileMe that allowed you to specify the server, username, password, etc for non-MobileMe accounts.  Once set up, the incoming email from those account(s) would be delivered into your MobileMe inbox.  Forwarding did NOT need to be set up in the other accounts (in fact, if it was, you'd get everything twice).  Once set up, you could even color code incoming messages based on which account they were delivered from. 
    I personally set up three other email accounts this way as it was convienet to check all my email in one in box.  Nice.
    So.... here's the issue.  When MobileMe migrated to iCloud, the FUNCTION described above migrated over too and REMAINED IN EFFECT, but the ability to MANAGE THE FUNCTION and modify the other accounts went away.  So, anyone who had other email accounts set up (like I have) is still receiving email from those accounts into our iCloud inboxes, but we have no ability to manage those other accounts.  If you want to stop the delivery of email from one or more of the other accounts, you can't.  If you want to adjust the settings of any of the other accounts, you can't.  If the username or password for one of the other accounts changes, then the delivery breaks and you can't fix it.  You can't influnce how this feature behaves at all because the settings interface has been taken away.
    It's extrememly frustrating to have a "feature" active that you can't manage or turn off.
    Hey Apple... HELP!

  • I have account with Google under a different name for the games I play, the game companies want access to Apple account and other email accounts to be able to contact all friends, aquaintances. So should I set Apple account on other account.

    I have two accounts with Google, one for business other for games. The games companies want access to names of clients, aquaintenances, friends etc. I only have one account with Apple, using business account. So do I set up another account with Apple, for the games, to protect clients, friends and aquaintences. As I am sure that no one wants to be bothered by the different games. Using iPhone 4s updated to ios7.  Sincerely       JC1869

    Yes. The same account/Apple ID does not have to be used

  • Trying to get Hotmail and Yahoo email on Palm Tungsten C

    Was very excited when I got this palm from ebay and read thru the instruction manual and have done a lot of searching but can't find the answer to this:  How do I get my hotmail and yahoo email to show up on my Tungsten C thru versamail.

    Then it says "your hotmail account is completed...."
    incoming mail options:
    port number 995
    use secure connection (SSL) checked
    maximum message size 5KB
    Advanced outgoing options:
    Port Number: 25
    my server requires authentication (ESMTP) checked
    user name:  my email address w/ @hotmail.com

    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Tungsten C

    I just set up my Gmail account on my TX using Versamail, and it works seamlessly.  In the setup screen, US gmail is a service option to select, which then automatically prefills all of the server and security settings shown below.  The version of Versamail on your Tungsten C is older so it might not have all these options, but here are the settings:
    Account name: Gmail
    Protocol: Pop
    Username: your gmail username (just the name, not the @gmail.com)
    Password: your gmail password
    email address: [email protected]
    incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com
    outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
    incoming server settings:
    Port number 995
    Use Secure Connection (SSL): check
    Use Authentication (APOP): uncheck
    outgoing server settings:
    port number: 25
    Use Secure Connection (SSL): check
    Use Authentication (ESMTP): check
    username: [email protected]
    password: your gmail password
    Those are all of the available settings in Versamail on the TX, which is Versamail version 3.1C
    Hope this helps.  If it doesn't work, you could see if SnapperMail will work.  It's a third-party email app which is very robust and has a free trial period before you buy.  Short of that, you might just have to upgrade to a newer device.

  • I accidentally uninstalled firefox and thunderbird whilst cleaning. can i reinstall or recover my hotmail and gmail emails?

    I accidentally uninstalled both firefox and thunderbird during a clean up. I am now trying to reciver my previous hotmail and gmail emails. Having used Outlook and re set my email accounts it has synched and 'pulled' up emails from gmail back to August and Hotmail back a month.
    Is there any way of recovering the older emails?

    Re-install Thunderbird, add the accounts again.
    We don't know if you were using POP or IMAP.
    IMAP will show you any messages on the server.
    POP would have stored messages on your computer. You could recover these by importing the mailbox files for the previous instance of the account, so long as your "clean up" didn't also remove the profile.
    Information about the profile:

    This add-on can help import old mailboxes:

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • HT4436 How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

    How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

    Well Roger , it may not be particularly difficult for you it is quiet clear that for several thousand people who managed to find the time to seek out help for these devices and programs that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to provide it is at the very least "difficult"! If we are to tally up the amount of questions and inquiries posted on this one help site, I shudder to think of the size of the iceberg of inoperative functions and thus lost revenue to all those people , company's that like me have found things "difficult "! Last summer I created a "I cloud " address in a hurry while in dep lounge LHR
    And now wish to change as above is reputed to be used by notorious thugs who assault seniors on streets and post result on Web, useing same letters that I had hastily typed prior to Flt over pond. Alas like you I am now aware of the inability of changing address and thus wish to create " alias" to at least hide offending letters . The can of worms gets  more difficult as my main comp is an antique HP  windows 7 on which I have installed Apple  control panel ! Thus I get duplicate mail on an MSN Acc plus Hot mail that is still unable to decide if it wants to be known as "Outlook " or not? All the folders created by me for "HotMail " will show up with some persuasive tapping but will not allow the release to view their contents? If I click on "cloud mail" "no mail" message  is shown! I can deposit info /file in Cloud mail "archive" but only if I navigate to " Mail box Accounts" first ? If I want to create a file , no facility seems to be available ? So info/files that warrant saving /filing are left flagged ,sloshing about in the InBox or stuffed into over burdened  "Cloud Account!
    I have tried to follow instructions in Apple Corp official instructions ,both I Pad and Cloud and am unable to locate the term "preferences" as no "Action pop up menu * has shown itself! thus I am unable click "Accounts" or "add an Alias" !
    I must confess I have been very rude to the Micro Soft people in the past for my inability to grapple with their system , but now think perhaps I am the problem as Parkinson's will affect cognitive  function?...... Your remark re expecting "free" mail box features in my opinion is a bit like the car salesman saying " No Sir, that is the price for the car , the oil ,
    Anti freeze , trans fluid , battery acid are all extra!!??..... Carry on London!!!!

  • How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

    I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only".  Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
    “Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
    a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
    First, create the account in Outlook: -
    Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
    POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
    In the Outgoing server field, type
    nomail.
    Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
    If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
    Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
    Deselect the option to
    Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
    Click on the
    Finish to return to Outlook.
    Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
    Send and Receive Settings for this account.
    Press
    Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
    Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
    Click the
    Edit button.
    Select the receive-only account, then deselect
    Send Mail Items.
    Click on the
    OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

    The receiving email ports are:

    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
