Setting up POP email on the Playbook - FAIL

Hi All,
Okay, I’ve tried every trick, method and suggestion I can think of short of using some magical concoction.
How the heck can I get my POP email to work on my new Playbook? Otherwise what’s the point, I’ll just to send it back. Hey, apps are nice and fun but this thing has to do some work to earn it’s keep, at least a little bit.
I’ve been setting up email on devices for years with little to no problems. My Storm II does just fine, my daughter's iPad, no problem, laptops, office PC’s not an issue but my great new Playbook won’t let it happen no matter what I try. What's up with that?
Why should it be so problematic? It makes no sense to me.
Bridging is fine until I move the PB too far from my phone and of course I can go to the AT&T/Yahoo and Hotmail websites but that’s a hassle unless I’m on someone else’s PC.
I’ve got solid WiFi throughout my home and office and I’ve even got a Verizon Hotspot for my car and other areas where I need to be connected.
So, what’s’ the trick, the magic? Please, please share with me as to what supreme being must I pay homage to in order to get my simple and lowly POP email to function on my very fine Blackberry Playbook?
For those who may ask, my general system is as follows:
Playbook, 16 GB with 2.1.0.1088 OS
Blackberry Storm II
Verizon Wireless Carrier
AT&T/Yahoo POP email
That’s it I think…
Tks,
Dave S.

You mentioned Hotmail. Ok this is it for Hotmail,  same for Gmail.
Settings
Accounts
Add new account 
Tap email, cal, contacts 
Type in email address
Type in password
Tap continue
For the moment select only email sync, not contacts or cal.
Tap save
That's it.
Once email works, eoeriment with cal and contacts by changing the account configuration settings.
Yahoo is another matter, I hate it, maybe someone can post the howto.

  • Just set up POP email account - only seeing inbox folder

    Hi
    I have just set up a POP email account and it has found it successfully and downloaded all my inbox messages however I cannot see my "sent" messages or drafts and I also have a sub folder underneath the inbox which I cannot see.
    Do I have to manually set up each subfolder or does the Iphone not automatically see the same subfolders when it connects? Also every email stays showing as un-read even if it is read on the server, even when I refresh the Iphone it still says un-read. Do POP accounts not automatically sync with the server or is there something I can do to set this up or an APP that will do this? Please can anyone help?
    Thank you for any help or information.

    With POP email accounts, the mail 'lives' with the client, not on the server. So, Sent and Drafts on the iPhone will only contain messages sent from or being composed on the iPhone. Any subfolders set up in the mail client on your computer are only on that computer. You can pull messages from the server to the Inbox on the phone if the mail client is set to leave the messages on the server for a period of time, since from the iPhone's perspective they are new.
    POP is really designed for accessing your email only from one client. If you want to use several devices and access the same account, you are better off with an IMAP account, where all the mail 'lives' on the server.

  • HT6030 Mac Mail 7.1 has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server

    I have suddenly realised (over the past 2 weeks) that Mail has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server, at first I thought it was just that no-one was sendfing me any, however, I created an Account with Thunderbird and suddenly received dozens of them. I've tried many of the "googled" fixes but none seem to work for me....
    Can anyone help me to get my Apple Mail performing correctly please.

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Setting up Pop Email on 8520

    I wonder if anyone can assist, I am trying to set up my email account on my blackberry, it used to work fine when my pop address was pop3.btconnect.com however BT have now changed the pop address to pop.outlook.com and  similar on the SMTP address from smtp.btconnect.com to smtp.outlook.com, however I cannot find anyway of changing the POP & SMTP addresses on my Blackberry and so at the moment I am not getting any emails
    Thanks
    Phil

    You are going to have to delete it, then set it up as other, giving it invalid information for the email domain, etc. It will always default to IMAP if an IMAP server is found. You can only set up a POP account if the device is unable to locate a valid mail server for the domain you specify at setup.
    Why you would want to use POP is beyond me. IMAP was created specifically to allow you to keep the server and multiple clients synchronized.  POP is pretty much obsolete.

  • Trouble setting up POP email account

    I am trying to set up my POP email account on my iPhone and it is not recognizing the outgoing SMTP server. I have the settings correct. My mail server is mail.adelphia.net for both incoming and outgoing mail. Any suggestions?

    update: decided just to change my password with the server when I realized that it was user error- the wrong password was in fact being typed in blush. So now I don't get the any errors. I guess it works, no email on the phone yet, but the computer is on with outlook running, and I do believe it takes the mail off the server when it downloads it- so I don't think there's mail there for the iPhone to see.
    Now, do you think you could help me with another iPhone question I have? It's really simple. It deals with when I activated yesterday- I got booted out of the activation sequence due to an incoming call from some random person looking for the owner of the old number i'd JUST been assigned and had JUST gone active (I have a post on the board about it) and I didn't get to do anything that comes up on the iTunes screen after it gives you your phone number. Therefore, I didn't get to name my iPhone or sync with outlook. My two questions are these:
    Can I still name the iPhone, or do I have to somehow reset it? And if I have to reset it- do I loose all the contacts I entered (they're not in outlook, they were in my other phone) or can I somehow sync to iTunes and have the contacts saved before restoring?
    Next, the iPhone doesn't sync to Outlook (i have 2003 on Vista) at all. Because I was booted out of activation, I had to try a manual sync. I can get emails because that was just fixed, but it doesn't give me my contacts or calendar. The syncs for bookmarks off IE worked. I haven't tried a sync to transfer music and videos yet. Is there something I'm not doing right as to why it won't give me Outlook? I notice that there is only one Apple add-in running in outlook, and someone said something about needing two? Plus, Vista gives me an error that the Outlook sync server has quit every time I try to sync.
    Can you help with any of that?

  • When setting up my Email on the Iphone 4s, the phone just stays on Verifying. Any ideas would be welcome thanks.

    When setting up my email account on the iphone 4s- it just stays on verifying.
    Any ideas whats wrong?
    Many thanks

    The verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
    Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
    A few suggestions i have to make would be:
    Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
    Then reload the email and try and verify again.
    Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
    That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
    Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
    If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
    Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
    Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
    The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
    If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
    e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
    Best of luck.

  • Why is there a 30 day limit for email on the Playbook

    Sorry this isn't really a support question but I was wondering if anyone knows why they maintained the maximum 30 day limit on email etc for the Playbook.  I kinda understand the logic for a phone (although it would be nice to have the option of all my mail) but I use my playbook differently and really need all my mail not just the last 30 days.

    Thanks so much for the best of all of your choice by email again then we will not receive this email is not responsible or so of this tag only one I have been the best time for your help and the next level of risk from you again and learn how much you owe.
    Yep, the above is seekrit code explaining the why part. If I tell more they might harm me.

  • How can I set up an email where the mail account is totally different to the email address?

    The email account (and password related to it) is in the form "xxxxxx.ndonet.com." The email address is "xxxxxx.ndirect.co.uk." There don't seem to be many email clients that allow this and at present I am having to use Pegasus. I have tried manual configuration in Thunderbird but without success. Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to you both for your suggestions. It is very helpful.
    I have solved one problem but have one remaining. I can now send mails having configured TB with the ISP's pop3.hosts.co.uk and port 995. This is working fine. Sending is still a problem. As I am currently in France I cannot test smtp.hosts.co.uk (587) directly. I usually use smtp.orange.fr. Under Pegasus this is set using Server TCP/IP port = 25 and Timeout = 15 seconds, which works every time. When I try TB with either 25 or 587, I get an error "login to stmp.orange.fr failed" and a further message "for unknown reason" although sometimes it reports "authentication failed".
    I am a bit out of my depth here and would be grateful for further suggestions. Thanks.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?
