Setting up my msn account with mail

i'm a new mac user and i read posts to set up my msn account on mail. but it keps asking for my password and will not sign me on for mail. i don't know what i'm doing wrong can someone help me? my searches are bringing me in circles

you should be able to do it with no difficulty at all, you can set up the email address from you phone or log onto the BIS site, if using the phone, go to email setup and it will ask you to either setup a bb account or log on, if you already have the account then log on, if not then create it.  you can then add the email address and start recieving emails within 20 minutes

  • HT201320 Can I set up my MSN account with Microsoft Exchange?

    Hi guys,
    I've been having problems setting up a MSN/Hotmail account on my iPhone 4 with the latest update of iOS6. I entered it with the "Hotmail" function, but It won't push my email to my phone no matter how many settings I change. There's also an issue with the phone not receiving replied emails. I deleted the account from the phone and signed back in under Microsoft Exchange (using the same MSN/Hotmail log in as above)
    Seems to be working great, fast too. Are there any issues with setting it up this way?
    Thanks,
    E

    Httpmail should help you getting Hotmail to work in Mail.

    yes. delete that account and recreate it as an imap account (gmail allows both). when creating the account using the account wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically. This checkbox creates a POP account and you want imap.

  • Multiple accounts with Mail

    I am having serious trouble trying to set up several different accounts with Mail. I have arranged with my service provider to send all incoming mail from subsidiary addresses to one mailbox, but I want to be able to send from these different addresses. After setting up a first Mail account, for the address to which all incoming mail arrives, I tried to set up further accounts. These accounts all share incoming and outgoing mail servers with the primary account, but for some reason, Mail refuses to accept this, returning the error message “Trying to log in this POP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct”, even though they are indeed correct.  The other error message returned is “An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made”.
    Further confusing the issue, if I try to edit the SMTP server list, any new server name I input is immediately branded “offline”, with no apparent option to bring it online. Finally, demands that I re-type passwords ignore the fact that I have just done so (correctly)...
    The impression I am getting is that either Mail cannot be connected to more than one POP server, and/or that two accounts cannot share the same incoming and outgoing mail servers. Is either of these correct? What is particularly confusing is that Microsoft Outlook had none of these problems with multiple accounts, and happily allowed different accounts to share servers. Is this a built-in limitation of Mail, and should I be looking elsewhere for a solution?

    Extensive search across this forum and elsewhere has sadly convinced me that Mac Mail is a badly designed, buggy and misconceived abortion. As a result, I have decided that life is too short to struggle with poor software, and have moved to using Postbox. The best $10 I ever spent in  my life...

  • How do you access more than one email account with Mail

    I have multiple email accounts, and have already set up my pop, and smtp servers. But I cannot figure out how to access/ login into the other account. I have had one account setup for a while now. I just setup another account, but can only access the original account. I've looked under 'preferences' I can see that the new account has been created, but how do I log in to it? Can someone please help?
    Thanx,
    Mike Dunn

    Hello Mike.
    You can access multiple accounts and account types with the Mail.app with one exception.
    You can access multiple accounts with Mail by the same provider (same account type and shares the same incoming mail server) and each account can have the same password as long as they are true accounts which means each email address or account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
    An additional email address or account by the same provider that shares the same user name and password as the primary account is really an alias account and cannot be accessed as a separate account with Mail.
    An alias account or address to a primary account can be accessed with the primary account by adding the email address for the alias to the email address field separated by a comma under the Account Information tab for the primary account's preferences.
    All messages addressed to the alias email address will be received and delivered to the Inbox mailbox for the primary account.

  • What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

  • TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

    Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Syncing aol email accounts with mail?

    I'm new to Mac, and I love my macbook but I can't figure out how to set up my aol email accounts using imail. Is that possible? I have two aol email accounts and I've been going on aol.com to check my messages but lately it hasn't been loading so I don't know what to do!
    How can I sync my aol email accounts with imail? Is aol considered IMAP?
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Yes, AOL accounts must be set up as IMAP in Mail, but AOL has a lot of idiosyncrasies and some really nasty “features” that normal IMAP accounts don’t have and that you should be aware of.
    To more easily set up your AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
    Instructions for setting up an AOL account in standard mail clients such as Mail should be available somewhere on AOL’s website, and can also be found here:
    http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
    These instructions are for Mail 1.3, and are somewhat outdated, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x, and I believe you can now enable SSL for both the incoming (Preferences > Accounts > Advanced) and the outgoing mail server if you wish.
    Instead of the settings shown in the article for Trash, you may want to turn ON Move deleted messages to the Trash, but in that case you should turn OFF Store deleted messages on the server.
    AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved — that’s why you must turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that they are stored locally instead.
    You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of (which is also somewhat outdated, but still useful to understand how AOL’s IMAP access works):
    Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
    Note in particular that AOL automatically purges your mail from Inbox after some time. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.

  • Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    EASY SIMPLE FIX....
    The problem is Google.
    I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
    It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
    Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
    FIX:
    Logon to Google...
    Go into your Google account preferenes
    DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
         (it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
    Thats it. Your'e done.
    Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
    You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
    There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
    (and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

    I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

    Thanks Barney-15E:  I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
    Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
    I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
    Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

  • Problem setting up ATT email account with Apple Mail

    I have a main ([email protected]) and sub email account ([email protected]) with ATT/Yahoo (formerly SBC).
    I set these accounts up on Apple Mail for the first time, and selected the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message "RIGHT AWAY". But Apple Mail would not allow me to select that option for both the primary and sub account. It allowed me to select that option for the first account I set up (the sub account), but when I tried to select that option for the second account (the main account), it would not permit me to save the option and gave me the following error message:
    The account path /Users/edelbert/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com is already being used by the account "GIFilm"
    It will allow me to select the option to remove the copy AFTER ONE WEEK, but then I receive the same message over and over each time Apple Mail checks the ATT server.
    ATT claims that it is the result of an SSL conflict between its software and Apple's, and claims that Apple has created a bug fix, but I can find no evidence of such a patch.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    As far as I can tell, the problem might be with my password. It's working on my iPhone, but not my computer.
    If it's just a matter of changing the password, it's cool. But I can't figure out how to change the password.
    Any ideas on changing the password in mail preferences?
