SETTING UP MY MAIL

I got this MacBook last June and never set up my Mail account on it. It's asking me for my User Name and Password, both of which i havent set up, and I'm not sure what to put in. Everything i try keeps telling me that I'm wrong. WHAT DO I DO?

Well, what kind of email account do you have? You can use any mail service which offers POP or IMAP access, such as GMail or many ISP-provided mail accounts. You can't use a free mail service such as Hotmail or Yahoo.

E72 - Unable to set up e-mail mailbox after firmwa...

Hi all,
I have a newly acquired E72-1 which has been updated to the latest firmware version 051.018.
I'm trying to set up the e-mail function on my E72 but getting nowhere.
I keep getting to the enter e-mail details/password etc page then…nothing. The mail box has not been set up, each and every time.
From the home screen, I hit setup e-mail>start e-mail setup>start
Then it asks ‘connection needed’ connect to: and I click yes and it shows ‘Preparing setup’…
Then it shows a screen with all the e-mail services, from the top: Ovi Mail, Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, Windows Live, BT Internet, Mail for Exchange, Lotus Notes, Other
From here, if you click on the various choices such as Gmail or windows live for Hotmail, you get the enter user name + password boxes…once these are filled in
You get the detecting e-mail settings tab for a few seconds…then it reverts to the screen showing the e-mail services.
I have tried this dozens & dozens of times without success…no mail boxes have been set up. It just cycles through the setup process each time.
I have even done a Hard reset on the E72 and tried to set up e-mail after…with no luck.
Any suggestions?? I have to say I’m getting very cheesed off as e-mail was the main reason to get the E72!!
Has the Nokia Messaging service been switched off??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I came to this discussion because google indicated it when I searched 'nokia E72 unable to create mailbox'.
'Unable to create mailbox' used to be a huge headache for me to use E72 for over one year and half. I tried to soft and hard reset the device, brought it to Nokia Care Point to spend 15 pounds to re-install the whole system, or call the customer service line again and again for a continuous one year, but the problem still existed. To be honest, I was not satisfied with Nokia customer services at all. The staff at the Nokia Care Point only cared about charging money. After the first re-instalation when the problem still existed, they said I had to pay more to process other checks. In terms of technicians from the customer service line, they were helpless. I called them again and again. Each time when I called, there was a different technicain, and I had to repeat the situation again and again. They only knew to suggest me do the basic reset, including to try *#7370# or to reset factory factory settings, which I had tried over hundreds times. They even used remote control application to install some remote app on my E72 and did some checks from their ends, but still it didn't help. When the technician realised he/she didn't have another method, they promised to call me back later, but they never did. I was so disappointed with their service. It took around an hour or longer each time I called. When the problem couldn't be fixed, I had to call again and repeat the problem from the beginning again to a new line advisor. It was so time and money consuming!!!! And what was the most annoying was that they were not helpful! After such torturing experience, the problem still existed! It was a frustrating and exhausting experience from 05.2011 to this year 06.2012... I gave up Nokia in the end, though it used to be my favourate phone.
Sorry to make such a long complaint. I just want to provide a feedback to Nokia, so as to let them know that their poor service and products are losing former loyalty clients.
===============================================
Right, back to the problem, 'unable to create mailbox'. Finally, I figured out what the problem was. It was a conflict between the device E72 and network provider, O2, for my case.
I am in the uk and use monthly contract of O2 sim card. The O2 network provides three kinds of data package: O2 Active, O2 Mobile network, and O2 Pay&Go. When I create mailbox or use Maps GPS, it access to the internet via O2 Par&Go by default, no matter how I set the priority of the connection destination. But when I changed the access point to O2 Active or O2 Mobile Network, the mailbox was able to be created and Maps app was able to recevie GPS data.
So here is my solution.
1) Hardset the device. Remember to backup all the data beforehand.
The method is to press Shift+Space+Backspace together with the power button when the device is powered off. Press until the device is restarted and the main screen, normally it should be Nokia's two hands joined together image, is seen.
2) Go to menu --> Ctrl. panel --> Settings --> Connection --> Destinations
There, you will find all the access points.
3) Go to Internet
Hopefully you will have the same options as I do, O2 Active, O2 Mobile Web, and O2 Pay&Go
Scroll to O2 Pay&go, click options, choose 'delete' to delete the O2 Pay&go option. (Don't worry to delete it, as the internet can be access to via the other two options without any problem.)
4) Go back to Destinations, do the same to Multimedia msg, WAP services, and Intranet.
Delete any O2 Pay&go options for these category.
===========================================================
Then, your phone should be ready to set up mailbox and to use gps without any problem. That was what happened to my Nokia E72.
Good luck!
Now, I feel my E72 is so powerful after the push mail and GPS function is recovered. But still, I am not satisfied with Nokia's service and will definitely not try any other of its products. Nokia has lost my loyalty and I believe I am not the only one.

How to set up a mail server with a private DNS and relay over a public mail

How to set up the mail server that we can send and pick up emails inside and outside?
Our private network has the DNS name dnsname1.private.
We have our privat DNS Server and he can forward requests to outside over our router.
Our public emails are hosted by an internet provider. This dns name is dnsname2.com and dnsname2.org.
How we have to set up our mail server that we can pick up our emails from our public dnsname2.com?
And when we write an email how we have to set up it that the dnsname is dansname2.com and not dnsname1.private?

If you want to move your mailservice to your own (internal) server, start by making sure you can recieve traffic on port TCP 25 (SMTP). Some ISPs blocks this port, especially on "non business" connections.
Can you send mail from your LAN directly to where your mail is hosted using port 25 TCP or do you have to relay via your ISP?
You have a static public IP?

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

How do I set up a mail account for an older macbook?

I'm trying to set up a mail account for my dad on a used (but refurbished) macbook. It's running 0SX10.6.8. I'm not sure how to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. I didn't have to do this for my macbook air and my brother did not have to do it for his pro. I don't know if im supposed to use POP or IMAP. A window will pop up asking for the account type, incoming mail server, user name, and password. I don't know what to do from here.

Hello,
Your Internet/email service provider should be able to tell you exactly what to enter. You may also want to take a look at the following web page:

Good luck!

How to set-up voice mail to email on Unity Connection 8.6

Hi all,
I need to set-up voice mail to email notification on a Unity Connection 8.6 MCS78XX server. I've read several existing threads related to the subject, but have had somewhat of a difficult time finding a posting that provided a simplified approach with either or both of the options listed below. I'm hoping and asking to receive a response (or responses) that will break it down.
The intent is to either:
A) Have new voice mail messages sent to end-user's e-mail inboxes as .wav files.
B) Have notifications be e-mailed to end-user's inboxes whenever there is a new voice mail.
Cisco Unity Single Inbox is not the preferred method at this point.
I thank you all for your input and assistance!

Manish, if I may... I read the 2nd thread and it mentions the addition of the Exchange IP address under the smart host field... and it appears that the Exchange will also need the IP address of the Unity Connection server for relay...
question: under the Unity SMTP config options --> Server --> SMTP Domain --> can/should this be changed over to the Unity's IP address in an environment where the Unity Server's name is not resolvable? The Unity Server in this case is not configured with DNS... please advise
Thank you again!

GAH! How Can I Set Up My Mail Accounts?

I have 15 email accounts in total, each with it's own unique 64 character password. Manually setting up email accounts on my devices is clearly not an option. No worries, because up until today, I simply synced my mail account data from iTunes. You only have to do it once, you don't need any sort of on-going email account data syncing. The accounts keep their own mail in sync, so the 'setup sync' was a one time deal. And I didn't sync the accounts with mobile me, or later icloud, because I wanted different accounts on differnet devices.
Well I just got my new iPhone 5S and I'm trying to set up my mail. But I can't! There's no way to sync Mail data! I tried turning on iCloud Keychain (which was a complete disaster the first time I tried to use it, but I need my email!) I tried deleteing my iCloud account and re-adding it on my phone (and my old phone that I erased, and re-setting up as an iPod). But no matter what I do, I can't get any mail accounts to show up.
I NEED my email on my phone. There is no way around it, I cannot function without that. I don't even put my phone number on my business cards any more, only email. Email HAS TO WORK. But thanks to Apple, I can't get it on there.
It would seem that my only option is to get it to sync via iCloud Keychain? That's going to cause me an unlimited amount of headaches, but if that's the only way to get mail accounts to sync, then I guess that's what I have to do. But how do I do it? I have turned on iCloud Keychain on all of my devices and computers, but no mail accounts are syncing.
All my Macs are currnetly on Mavericks, and all my devices (iPad mini, iPhone 4S deactivated, iPhone 5s) are on iOS 7.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

From Mail Help:
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
This feature is useful if you receive a lot of similar messages from an online form on a website, and you want to reply automatically.
To automatically reply to messages:
Choose Mail > Preferences and click Rules.
Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.
Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the message that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed while your computer is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your email service provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rule.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate a reply was sent.

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Can't send any emails from various accounts set up in mail 4.4

I have a number of different email accounts (3 POP, 1 IMAP) set up in mail 4.4. Lately i have had some problems sending emails from some of the accounts. Usually, I get the outgoing mail server reject message, and then I try another server, and then it sends. THe next time I go to send an email through the outgoing server that I was rejected by, it sends without problems. Each time I shutdown, restart, or open the lid on the macbook, I go through the same process. UNTIL today. Now, I can't send ANYTHING outbound, via any of the 4 outgoing mail servers that I have set up. I have run with this same configuration without change for almost 3 years. Only change is that I have recently changed ISPs. Please help. Work from home, so critical problem.

I had had the same problem after changing my ISP. It is definitely a Mail 4.4 problem. I partially fixed it by trashing all four of my e-mail accounts in mail preferences (simply click on the minus sign to delete them) and rebuilding them all with the correct settings and passwords. This worked fine with ATT, MSN and QWest but the Mail app simply refuses to connect to AOL's outgoing mail server (smtp.aol.com). In other words, I can receive AOL mail but I cannot send AOL mail using the Mac Mail app. Have to log on to AOL's web site and do it that way, which is a huge pain in the you know where. Mail 4.4 is definitely hinky -- keeps erasing passwords and asking for them again and again. As a result, my keychain contains numerous repetitions of the same password for each mail account. I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem, which recurs with depressing regularity according to many Mac Mail users on this forum.

I have a POP account set up in Mail, has been that way for years. Today it isn't working.

I have a POP email account that's been set up in Mail for years. Today it won't send or retrieve email, continually asks for my password but doesn't keep it. My iCloud email is fine. According to an Apple Support document, "Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276), it appears as if it's a problem with my email provider. I've spoken to the email provider and they say it's not a problem on their end. I can log into my email account using the provider's webmail and all is fine there. And, since I'm still receiving my email on my iPad & iPhone, I'm not entirely convinced it is a problem with the email provider.
When I go into Mail Preferences, my password shows blank (even when I re-enter it) and it shows my Outgoing Mail Server as Offline. When I choose Edit SMTP server list and click on the Advanced tab, my password is missing here as well. Re-entering it doesn't help.
I've tried Take All Accounts Offline then Take All Accounts Online and that doesn't work. I would delete the account and set it up again, but I get a warning message that if I delete the account, I lose everything in the account; folders, email, filters, etc. I can't afford to lose the existing emails.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2; I believe they are both the most recent versions.

I checked the settings with Network Solutions and they are correct. As to archiving, is it possible to turn everything into one big archive or does each folder and subfolder need to be archived individually? I've looked at the documentation and I get the impression that everything is archived separately. Also I couldn't find a mention as to whether it's possible to archive or some how save all of my filters.
I use Time Machine as my general backup. I back up all the Mail files every couple weeks (on a flash drive) but now I've learned, the hard way, that's not often enough.
Thank you.

Unknown error when trying to set up aol mail

AOL just stopped working as of 10am today! I sent mails this morning and now I cannot get AOL to work. I deleted the account and tried to set up AOL Mail again and I keep getting an "Unknown Error" message! HELP......

Hey there jsmugs,
It sounds like your AOL account is not working in your account, and you also cannot set it back up. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
