Sync says it is working, but Mail account is not imported to iPhone

So I this problem with syncing my basic mail account with my iPhone. It is an IMAP mail server account and it works fine on my Macbook. I have the setting in iTunes showing that the sync should include the one mail account on the Macbook (it is checked off).. When I performa sync, it says that it is syncing and I do no get any error messages.. but once done, the account does not show up on my iPhone.
I have had to add the account manually to iPhone in the meantime. But my mobile me account is not working as I would expect and I think it comes down to the sync not happening correctly in the first place.
Any idea what could be causing this issue with me not syncing properly?

What is the issue with the MobileMe account?
Try the Advanced option on the Info tab which allows you to replace email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from your MacBook.
If that does not work try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preference window, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030

  • The old version of Sync will continue to work, but then it says "for a limited time"??

    I have read all the info on the new sync, but it is not clear to me when it says:
    "While the old version of Sync will continue to work, the latest version of Firefox doesn't support adding new devices to the old version of Sync. This means that you won't be able to sync with a new device.
    to allow for migration to Firefox Accounts."
    the old version of Sync will continue to work,
    but
    Mozilla will continue to host the old version of Sync for a limited time...?
    This is confusing.
    Does i mean that
    the old version of Sync will continue to work for a limited time only?
    or rather,
    that it will work indefinitely, but only for your devices already paired/synced?

    The new version of Sync will work in a limited capacity for a short time. You can use it as is, but you can't add new devices. You should upgrade to the new sync ASAP (it's more reliable and robust).

  • I want to buy music but i can't remember my security questions, It says to reset it but the link is not there to reset. It says to contact ap support but I've tried both ways to contact and it says it isn't working.

    I want to buy music but i can't remember my security questions, It says to reset it but the link is not there to reset. It says to contact ap support but I've tried both ways to contact and it says it isn't working.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account (an alternate email address is different). If you don't have one (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    How are you trying to contact Support ? You should be able to do so via the following :
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Or if your country isn't on that page then use this form : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • Why can't I set-up my work e-mail account?

    I am having trouble setting up my work e-mail account (Outlook 2003)? I have downloaded mail 2003 for Outlook 2003 (someone recommended this app) and tried enterprise setup but I keep getting the error message "unable to verify account information".  I am able to get my personal e-mail without difficulty. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Are you sure you are using the correct settings for you work email - correct mail servers, etc? It might be helpful to ask your tech department at work for the specific information you need for your account.

  • Mail doesn't sync properly with my university IMAP mail account after installing LION... help!

    Mail doesn't sync properly with my university IMAP mail account after installing LION... worked great before with snow leopard.
    when i try to configer the "incoming mail server" section, I fill everything out correctly and yet I get this message:
    "can't verify the identity of imap.'myuniversityname'.ca"
    there is some text explaining it after. If i press continue anyway, no new messages are transfered from my university server to mail on my mac.

  • ICloud mail account could not be enabled

    Since I have updated to Mavericks I have been having difficulty with "Mail".  I had 4 accounts; two of which were gmail accounts.
    After reading about the gmail issues, I was hoping that the recent "Mail Update for Mavericks" would solve my issue. Unfortuantely my issues remain.
    The problem first began with the program taking minutes (up to 10 min) to load; forcing me to force quit the program many times.
    I slowly deleted the various accounts from my icloud account. Interestingly in the System Preferences under "internet accounts" it would initially not display all of the accounts that I had listed in the mail program. It would also take 10 min to load the accounts into the Accounts Pane on the "internet Account" dialog.
    Even after deleting each of the accounts; including my icloud account and then only re-enabling my icloud account things didn't get better.
    Now "mail" doesn't load at all. And I can't enable "mail" in the Icloud system preferences.
    It times out after 3-5 minutes saying "Your iCloud mail account could not be enabled. Try enabling it again". Of course; trying again gets the same message.
    So I'm stuck not using "Mail" at all; and I don't know what the issue is.
    I've moved on to "AirMail" and it is working fine. But would like to use "Mail".
    Any one else getting this???

    I had this problem & found these instructions, it worked everything as it was before the upgrade now, except I've lost the old email accounts I deleted.
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained many thousands of duplicate entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

  • When I click on the mail icon on my iPad 2 the mail accounts do not show up.

    iPad 2 32GB Version 8.1.1
    When I click on the Mail icon, the mail accounts do not appear. The screen is blank except in the he upper right corner of the screen I can see mini icons: flag, folder, file box, arrow, and pad/pencil mini icon.
    I've been having a number of issues with Facebook ever since I upgraded to Version 8, so I don't know if this is a version issue or something else.
    I've tried rebooting/restarting, etc. Nada.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Close all apps and then reset the iPad. If that does work, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again.
    FWIW, I don't use Facebook at all, the app or in a browser, but I have read more that a few posts here where people that use the app all the time claim that is very buggy and causes all sorts of problems for them. Maybe closing the app along with the reset will help.

  • The e-mail account does not exist at the organization

    Hi, I have a user account that people receive the following message from:
    The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
    <mailserverishere #5.1.1>"
    I'ved looked and this particular case could be a quirky one.
    The details are:
    User account A is the account that Exchange thinks doesn't exist.
    User account B is her boss.
    A copy of user B's email is sent to A. (done through Delivery Options)
    Senders sometime receive an email back saying user A's address doesn't exist.
    (which really confuses them because they sent the email to B)
    This is the only time the bounce message appears.
    I've removed the forward and added it again. Still the problem.
    Any clues?

    You need to verify old delegates in UserB's mailbox by going to Tools -> Options -> Delegates. Remove old UserA and re-add it.
    This is because of option “Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me” is ticked with old UserA id in Delegates.
    If you can't see any delegates then you have another option to delete delegates rule with MFCMapi.
    - Open UserB's Mailbox with MFCMapi where UserB's outlook profile configured in online mode (not Cache mode)
    - Double click the Mailbox of userB to open.
    - Expand Root Container -> Top of the information store -> Inbox folder
    - Right-click the "Inbox" folder, and then click "Display Rules Table".
    - You can see all rules configured in mailbox. 
    - Delete the Delegate Rule with "PR_RULE_PROVIDER" column property shows "Schedule+EMS Interface". (this is the same option which you can set with GUI Delegation "Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me" but stale copy is still in mailbox.)

  • Yahoo mail account is not supporting!

    Yahoo mail account is not supported by mail aplication.

    Did you ever get this working? I have the same issue. AT&T support couldn't help. Just got my new Class ic yesterday. And it looks like BB may have a bug supporting the regular Yahoo email App? This was hinted at by AT&T, not sure if true. I would love a workaround. They thought it might be the secondary verification feature so I turned it off, but still wouldn't work. I signed in thru BB World, still no success. But nobody in the forum seems to have given any help?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

    The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store.  You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
