Still no email encryption for private mail accounts?

It's really a shame that BlackBerry - alleged focused on security - still does not enable S/MIME encryption for private mail accounts (those without BES).
Before some fanboys smash me with their superficial knowledge: there is absolutely no technical need for BES or any other server feature. S/MIME is client-side encryption and works by definition with any email account regardless of the transportation protocol (e.g. POP, IMAP, Exchange) or email provider.
While I do understand BlackBerry's urge to force people into buying BES licenses to a certain degree: This limitation is a real handicap by forcing me to take out another device for reading (and sending) encrypted mails on my private account.
Even the iGuys have implemented S/MIME natively into their email client (iPhone & iPad). Working like a charm...
Could somebody please take care of this fail and fix it with 10.3?
Thanks.
(No, sideloading an ugly Android app that's not even well integrated into the Hub is not an option)

Best of all: Rolling out this "new" feature is kind of free for BlackBerry since the functionality itself is already in the system. ^^

How can I set up a separate email signature for each mail account?

Any way to set up a unique signature for each mail account on the Iphone, seems to be just 1 standard signature?

Always worth jotting a quick note off to Apple about it, if you'd like to see it in a future iOS version (enough people ask for a feature, and it's more likely to happen).

HT6030 Unread mail count still doesn't work for any mail accounts after installing the Nov. 7 Mail fix. I deleted Gmail from my Mac Mail so that's not the problem.

I still cannot get an Unread Mail count in the Dock even after installing the the Nov. 7 Mavericks update. I deleted my Gmail account from my Mac, so I know that's not a problem. I checked the Mail preferences, and thay is configured correctly. Any suggestions?

Point noted re multiples posts [ there were loads of typos in previous] . Your previous reply may indeed be one way of solving my problem. Thanks .
Nevetheless why does Apple prodcue "updated " software which isnt properly comptiable or tested; with the result that it now doesnt work well with Gmail when the prevoius version worked fine. You would think an update would at least work with Gmail as well as the prevsoius version did. G mail is very widely used, so they, Apple, and probably Google too are shooting themselves in the foot if they can't make the software compitable,

How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account?

How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account? I recently changed my email address and updated it on my itunes account but now my ipod keeps asking me for the password associated with my old email address.

I did this and I still get a error message about either the
password or the email account is incorrect!

Only one signature for all mail accounts very limiting

while the iphone is a very cool tool, i'm using the iphone for personal and work email,
and i find it very limiting that there is only one signature possible for all mail accounts.
standard, we all found out is written "written on my iphone" or something like that.
i always thought it was very dorky when i read that from blueberry users last year, (as if i'm interested that someone reads and writes his work e-mails from a mobile)
so, lets stop pretending it is cool to mail from the iphone, but just do it with all functionality it should have.
like having multiple signatures for example with work signature when i'm working, and personal signatures when not
meanwhile, can you (apple support) please help me loose less time when i want to erase my work signature every time i want to e-mail personally by adding functionality like "selecting bulk" and "cutting" (and then allowing to copy and paste while you're at it) to your sdk, Pronto please!
thanks!
anyone agrees? please follow up. maybe it helps speed up the improvement..

Once you sync your mail accounts with iTunes the first time, you can turn that off in iTunes. You don't need to do that anymore, unless you make a change to the account. It only syncs the settings. You can reset the sync history after deleting the accounts from your phone and then do another sync. That should correct the problem. I'm not as familiar with Mac computers, but maybe someone with a Mac can help a little.
Hope this answers your questions.

Custom alerts for different mail accounts?

Is there a way to set up different ringtones/alerts for different Mail accounts? I'd like to make my personal and business emails ring/vibe differently.
Thanks.

Nope, as you look in your settings mail only has one option to change the sound and thats for any mail that is recieved.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Can I download emails from a web mail account? If so how? thank you?

How can I download emails from a web mail account into Thunderbird please

If the account can be set up with programs like TB, simply add the account, starting from File/New(or AppMenu/New Message)/Existing Mail Account. If TB doesn't detect the right settings, enter them manually according to the account provider's requirements. If the provide offers IMAP access, all of the webmail folders will be downloaded. If POP only is offered, the Inbox will be downloaded.

every time i try to send an email from my yahoo mail account it gets stuck in the outbox. i have tried reinstalling my email account but it doesnt work

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.

iTunes gift cards are only valid on accounts based in the country in which the card was issued - so if you have a US account then you can only use US gift cards. Do you know anybody in the country where you bought it from that you could sell or give it to ? Or you could try selling it on a site such as eBay.

IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
I've tried:
• deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
• deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
• hard resetting the iPhone
• ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
• screaming from my back porch
Ideas?
Email Account type: IMAP
Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
Port: 587
8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

One thing that might help.
If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
Host Name:
Use SSL:
Authentication:
Server Port:
If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
Both are free email services.
If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps.

Can't add email to my mac mail account.

I recently started having problems with my mail account. I deleted the mail folder and started over and now can no longer add any email accounts besides my icloud account. When I try I get the following message.
Logging in to the optonline.net POP server “mail.optonline.net” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
My mail accounts still work on my ipad and iphone with the exact same information. Something else I find strange, when I go to add a new account my old deleted account already appears in the email address section. Why would a deleted account, presumably one it should n't know anymore come up as a suggestion without me adding it? Does mail keep a copy of the account hidden somewhere else besides the plist and in the hidden library?
I am at wits end. I can think of any reason that I shouldn't be able to add the email when all the information is correct. I have also checked my computer for viruses and malware with several programs, the latest one being SOPHOS. Any suggestions?

Don't know what any of this means:
