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.

I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

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.

Set up new email account and cannot receive mails in inbox

I tried to create new IMAP Yahoo Bizmail in Mac Pro's Mail, iPhone and iPad.
Both iPhone and iPad work find and are able see my old emails in Inbox and Sent, also to receive and send emails.
However, for the Mail, I can only see my old mails in Sent and Trash. Nothing in Inbox.
I am able to send emails but there's no incoming email at all.
All account infos are correct and I used the same setting with all Mail, iPhone and iPad.
I have also tried to install my outlook account into Mail and it works fine.
Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

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.

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)

I added a new email account and now I'm getting 2000 emails. Does anyone know how to stop them?!

I added a new email account and now Im getting over 2000 emails. Does anyone know how to stop this?!

Wait until it finishes. It's just downloading the headers of the emails in your account and caching them offline for quick access. Once it has finished it will go back to just downloading new emails as normal.

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

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

HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

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.

I am setting up my email account and find that I have 22,000 unread emails on my iphone,how do I get rid of them

I am setting up my e-mail acount on my new iphone 4s and find that I have 22,000 unread emails that don't exist on my ntlworld a/c on my macbook.Can anyone help me to get rid of them?

Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.
