Setting up new Email Account

I'm attempting to set up my e-mail account. We have a cable modem which is connected to my wife's computer (it's a Dell) and I use a router to connect to the internet, but can't set up a email account. Any suggestions?

Your cable provider should have provided you with an email account and setup information. You should use that information to set up Mail for your email account. Start Mail, open the Mail Preferences, click on Accounts, click on Add Account, then add the information from your cable provider into the appropriate fields.

How to set a new email account for iCloud?

How set a new email account for iCloud?

There are two separate things you can do.
You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Or if you want a completely separate account you will have to create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

Cannot set up new email account

I have recently started with a new provider. I set up my new email account, however I was not able to send email. After about an hour of remote support I still had not resolved the problem and was told it was an Apple problem. I have tried deleting the account ans starting over several times. I am now unable to send or receive. I keep getting the message "Mail can' connect to the account " ". It asks for a pass word but this does not resolve the issue. I am not sure what I have done wrong.

So it turns out that when the tech guy from the ISP was trying to figure it out he had changed my password. He had told me that it was an Apple problem. I was able to get it resolved today. Thanks for replying

Setting up new email accounts and SSL defaulting to be ON

SSL is defaulted as ON when you set up a new email account on iPad but many ISPs don't use SSL, and when you create a new email account Verification takes FOREVER because iPad can't verify the acccount until you turn SSL OFF. But there's no way to turn it off until iPad tries to verify, with SSL ON, itself.
Finally you'll get an error message that the server doesn't use SSL (DUH) and you get a popup that asks if you want to turn SSL off.
You click YES and the verification got thru instantly which is what should have happened in the first place.
The SSL ON/OFF switch should be on the first of the set up pages so you can turn it off and not have to wait endlessly for iPad to figure out the server doesn't use SSL.
If you have a number of email accounts to set up on your iPad, I have 5, this was burdensome and should be addressed in an iOS update IMHO.

Choose Hotmail for Hotmail and Other for the other one.
The phone will try to determine the server addresses automatically. If it can't you'll be asked for them. If you don't know them you'll have to contact the email provider and ask.

Trying to set up new email account - phone keeps freezing

I am trying to add a new gmail account to my curve. Whenever I try to - I click on set up, email accounts, and my phone keeps freezing. I went to the verizon store, after 2 hours, they still could not figure it out so they gave me a new phone. I went to another store a couple weeks later with the same problem, they told me they know there is a problem, and "hopefully the programmers are fixing it". Does anyone know of what I can do to add an email account to my phone?
Thanks

Setting up new email account on Curve 8900

Hi everyone
I have company provided bb curve 8900.
The email was configured for BB Enterprise Server Option. I have left the company and now want to use my gmail with WiFi internet connection. I am unable to get WiFi because the BB device is still configured for my ex employer's Enterprise Server. How do I remove these settings? Would appreciate help.
thanks

You can remove any IT Policy using details here - KB14202
You will need a Blackberry Data Plan from your carrier in order to use Push Email and the native browser on your handset, even using just wifi.

How do i set up a new email account

I'm trying to set up a new email account. When I open preferences/new account, and put in my name, a new email address and password, my mail program just turns on the beachball and says it's not responding. Not sure what to do.

It's an iMac (Intel), and yes it is a G5. I'm not a techie, but pretty sure Intel makes it a G5.
Anyway, I guess you know what the add account box looks like in Mail. The top window automatically has my full name in it. In the email address window (the new account I want to set up), I put in the new email name I want - for example, [email protected] Then I put in the password for my .me account that I know works because I can sign in and access my stuff. When I hit the create button, I get the spinning beachball, and eventually, when I do the three-finger salute to force quit, I see that mail is not responding.

Have just bought an ipad but have forgotten my gmail password. I have used this gmail account for my apple id, if I set up a new email account on the ipad , do I have to change this apple id. Am a very confused novice!!!

I have recently bought an Ipad but have forgotten my gmail password that I use on my Mac. I have used this email as my apple ID. If I now set up a new email account on my Ipad, do I have to change my apple ID as well as my apple password! HELP A VERY CONFUSED NOVICE!!!

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.
