Settings Mail, contacts  Not showing Email Accounts

My email accounts continue to "check for mail".  I'm on my network at home.  All other devices are working fine on the network.  When I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts to check the servers, when I select Mail, Contacts, my IPAD locks up.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi James and welcome...
Sync your Contacts with iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Make sure you see the iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the Info tab. You should see *Mobile Me* under the Info tab.
Select: Sync Address Book Contacts. Scroll down to select Mail accounts, Calendars, etc.
Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

  • I have ios 6.1.3 and the "add accounts..." is disabled under Accounts in settings mail,contacts,calendars

    please help me how to enable it, thanks!
    another problem, i can not delete my mailbox account because all the button under Accounts is disabled, but i can use the Mail app, unfortunately, there's no option to delete my account in there.
    thanks.

    Do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts set to 'Don't Allow Changes' ?  If you do then change it to 'Allow Changes' and you should be able to then adee/delete/change your email accounts in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars

  • Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

    Hello
    As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
    Your advice is most welcome.
    Thanks!

    Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

  • How do I change/add a new Default account to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Contacts ?

    I've set up my home PC and using MS-Outlook to harmonize email from several accounts.  I want any Contacts added through the iPhone-4 to synchronize with a specific email account (e.g. it is Yahoo now and I want to change it to another.) However, in Settings-Mail,Contacts,Calendars-Contacts there is no button or other Edit feature that allows or enables change of Default Account.  Any experience or ideas for me?

    Wish i could call that a good try,... No my other email accounts don't appear in that Default Accounts list. So, I'm forced to delete those email accounts and reconnect them, EXCEPT when i do that any contacts in the iPhone will also be deleted and only available in a backup, which will probably cancel the new account set up,.. Want to try again?

    Hey Jeremy,
    From the Enterprise Deployment Guide:
    +Important: When you configure a device to sync with Exchange, all existing calendar+
    +and contact information on the device is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer+
    +sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your device+
    +wirelessly with MobileMe services.+
    +To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings >+
    +Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days.+

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

    Have just installed PE12 with no install problems. Share preference does not show email preferences, just the default Adobe. Previous PE worked for sending email attachments, Vista with Windows Mail. How do I get Windows Mail as the share email preference?

  • I want to delete my gmail on my iPad, yet my iPad won't allow me to access the option. I went on my iPad settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although i cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, or Add Account... How do i fix this?

    I want to delete/sign out my gmail on my Ipad, but my ipad won't allow me to delete it.
    Example:
    I tapped on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although I cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, and Add Account...
    how do I fix this?

    Sorry, you said Gmail. If that's the case, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I cannot access my email options when in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    When I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars, all my mail accounts are greyed out and I cannot access them. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Been going on for a month or so now.
    Thanks

    Well, you or someone had to enable restrictions. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. All data on your phone will be lost. Since the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the restrictions passcode.

  • Why do my recently added contacts not show up in contacts list, but show up as contacts in a global search of my iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3gs
    I suspect that its not just newly created contacts that don't show up in my contacts list, but contacts I added through text message or missed calls. Again, they show up as contacts when I search my iphone for their name. I have never backed up my contacts from any of my mail accounts (people said they were having problem with exchange, and I recently deleted my exchange account). I am not using MobileMe.
    When I sync with iTunes, and select Sync Address Book Contacts, I have "All Contacts" selected. The option to select "Selected Groups" is grayed out.
    When I look at my groups in my Contacts list App, I am viewing under "All Contacts". There are no other group options.
    This is a very annoying problem has anyone officially had it solved??

    You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app.  Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts.  If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

  • What are the incoming and outgoing settings to set up freeserve email accounts on ipad2

    I have an Ipad 2 and am trying to set up email from an old Freeserve account in the UK, I have set this up and can receieve emails but cant send emails.

    After many, many, frustrating hours trying to set this up on my Dad's iPad, I think I have found a solution. Thought I'd share it in case anyone else was still perservering with a freeserve email address.
    It basically involved
    - setting up a pop3 account (Settings/Mail,Contacts, Calendars/Add account/Other/Add mail account) with pop.orangehome.co.uk and smtp.orangehome.co.uk as the incoming and outgoing settings
    - letting it try to 'verify' those settings (which will probably fail)
    - if asked 'Do you want to try without SSL' (or similar), click no
    - Dismiss the window which says something like 'this account may not be able to send or receive emails' and save the settings as they are.
    - Go back into the account you have just set up and there should be some more settings to fiddle with - 'SMTP' and 'Advanced'.
    - In 'Advanced', switch 'Use SSL' to off and change the Server port to 110, then go back to the previous screen
    - Click on SMTP. It will probably show the primary server as smtp.orangehome.co.uk. After fiddling around with the settings for ages I decided to see what would happen if I used a different smtp server. I had previously set up a gmail account, so I tried smtp.gmail.com. For the record, this already had my email address as the user name, my gmail password, SSL on, Authenticaion as password and port as 587. Low and behold - it worked. I'm no expert but I assume this just means it is using the gmail 'route' to send an email rather than the freeserve/orange/EE route.
    If you haven't got a gmail account to use, it might be worth setting one up just for this purpose.
