Setting up Mac email account on iPhone

I have set up my girlfriends gmail account on her iphone pretty easy. I am currently trying to set up my mac email account on my iphone. I am in my mac email account on preferences and I have checked the box (check mail from an external POP account). I have filled in all of the boxes, the only box that I do not get is the tab (Incoming Mail Server). Any suggestion what has to go into the box to set up my account? Any help would be great...

Error message when setting up .Mac email account on iPhone

Hi - I've tried Apple support, iphone support, and the submit a question/problem to the mac people with no luck. So, I'm taking my question to the next higher level -- you all.
So here is the issue. I have had a mac email account for years. I buy my cool new iPhone a few weeks ago, and add my main apple mac email account to the iphone. All is good, and I can send/receive email messages from my main account. Then I add = three other email accounts I have on mac for internet/web surfing, and all is good there too. So, now I can access my 4 apple mac accounts on my iphone.
Here is the problem -- a few days ago, my main apple mac account stopped working on my iphone. I can still send/receive email messages via web based mac mail, and I can access all my mail on my laptopn (just like usual). But, now, when I go to check my main mac account on my iphone it says unable to verify username or password.
So, I have tried 100 different times now, all to no avail. I deleted it, rebooted it, tried it as a mac account, an IMAP account, POP account, etc.
I have all the latest versions of itunes, iphone, etc.
So, can anyone help me (pleeeese)......
Thanks, Drew

yeah

Setting up new Email account on IPhone

My email address was hacked so I had to set up a new email address. Where do I get incoming and outgoing mail server info to change my account?

Ask your email provider

Problem in setting up new email account on iPhone

Grateful for any help with this irritating problem. I'm trying to load my ntlworld email acount onto a new iPhone but, after 20 minutes waiting while the system tries to "verify", am getting the message that the SMTP server smtp.ntlworld. com is not responding. I've followed the tips in the help manual but they don't work. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks

Contact yoru email provider for support and verify you have the correct settings.

Can I set up a Mac email account on my old Macbook and iPhone?

I have a Macbook 2.1 (2007 I think) running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 2BG Ram, and an iPhone 4S. I would like to set up a Mac email account which will run and sync on both devices. Is this possible? I’d be grateful for any guidance.

Just to clarify, my understanding is that to use iCloud, I would need a Mac which can run Mountain Lion or higher. But my Macbook (as described above) is not capable of running Mountain Lion. Certainly the official Apple site says it's not. I believe some people with similar spec Macbooks are successfully using Mountain Lion but I'd prefer not to try this if it slows my computer down. Unless someone persuades me it'll work fine, I'd prefer an email solution which I could use with Snow Leopard and the iPhone.
I have looked on the official Apple support site and elsewhere but I can't figure out whether it's possible to create some kind of Mac email account (@iCloud or @me?) which would work on my old Mac as well as on my iPhone 4S. I'd welcome any advice..

Can I have a 2nd .Mac email account on my iPhone?

Sounds like a simple question and I've gone through the settings>email procedure and not readily found an idenifiable way of adding a much needed mac emal address to my emails. Is this possible please?

I don't know if this has changed - this was a 2011 psot after all. But I've always had a 2nd .mac email address on my iphone. Probably for at least 2 years or more as far as I can remember. I set up 2 .mac email accounts a long time back before anyone had heard of the cloud. And it's always worked fine on my iPhone 4 and then the iPhone 5.
Came across this thread - while looking at another issue. Just installed Mavericks and while it will allow me to have my 2 .mac email accounts in the email program, for some reason it's refusing to save the password for the 2nd account.

I have the iPhone 4s. I set up my email account and emails come in but I can't retrieve them.

Hi,
In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
On the left is the list of Accounts that are set up.
Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
Highlight the Bonjour Account
On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
Select it to remove the tick.
This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.
A quick description of IMAP vs. POP3

Setting up multiple email accounts on multiple .mac accounts

There are three of us in the household, all with our own .mac accounts (created off of one master account) and our own usernames on this computer. I have set up multiple email accounts and am having trouble getting those accounts organized into Mail. Can I set it up such that each user can access his/her email when logged into his/her respective area on this mac? For example, I want to be able to log in as myself and read my email, then let my wife log into her area and read her email. I have tried and really messed it up. We can read mail but not send it. When i try to send a message pops up informing me that "cannot send message using the server (server name here). Try again later."

Can I set it up such that each user can access his/her email when
logged into his/her respective area on this mac? For example, I want
to be able to log in as myself and read my email, then let my wife log
into her area and read her email.
Yes and this is how it should be done with each user's email account only created in Mail under their computer login account so each user's email along with all other data is kept separate and protected in their own home folder/directory. Of course this only works when disabling automatic login.
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet and is each user/family member also accessing an email account that is provided by your ISP?
Something to try first and this must be done with the .Mac SMTP server in Mail for each user's login account.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
