"Sync selected Mail Accounts" has disappeared...

So when I go to iTunes with my iPhone plugged in, and i go to the info tab, everything appears as it should except I can't select the "sync selected mail accounts"...now all three accounts run imap, so maybe that's why, but I thought that last night (before 1.1.2), I had the option of syncing all three. Anyone have an idea what happened?

This isn't normal but FYI - the email account sync process syncs email account setup information only from your computer to your iPhone and is in this one direction only. The sync process for this data is not bidirectional as it is for Address Book contacts and calendar events.
Unless you make a change to the account information on your Mac that is synced with or transferred to your iPhone that you want transferred, it isn't necessary to continue syncing this data after the selected email account setup information has been successfully transferred to your iPhone.

  • Upgraded OSX to 10.6.4 and my .mac/me mail account has disappeared

    Upgraded this morning, and my.mac/me mail account has disappeared.
    When I "Add Account", I get this message..
    "The account “MobileMe” already has this host name and user name."
    ANy ideas?

    I'd ask in the MobileMe forums first:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=228
    then the Snow Lewopard forums:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=263
    As this sounds less like a machine-specific issue than a general OS or MobileMe issue, I would think you are more likely to find a solution in either of those two areas.

  • Syncing selected mail accounts

    I used multiple email accounts on multiple servers. Some have imap available other do not. I've been trying to use the "sync select mail accounts" feature in iTunes but I'm not having any luck!
    I have one account (pop account) that I'd love to be able to delete mail on either my iPhone or Macbook Pro & when I sync have the two talk to each other.
    Please advise...
    Thank you

    The sync select mail accounts option is for transferring the account settings from your computer to your iPhone so you don't need to manually create the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
    This is not for syncing mailboxes and messages for an account between your computer and your iPhone.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If you want the mailboxes and messages for an account to be synced between the email client used on your computer and the iPhone's Mail client, you need an IMAP account.

  • Sync selected Mail accounts - Exchange 2007

    I am trying to determine the limitations of syncing Mail accounts through iTunes to an iPod Touch.
    I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard, iTunes and iOS. The iPod Touch is a 2nd generation 8GB model.
    I have a GMail IMAP and an Outlook Live Exchange 2007 account in Mail. In iTunes it only indicates the IMAP account. Is this because iTunes cannot sync Exchane accounts. I can setup the Exchange account on Mail and the iPod Touch seperately but, I would prefer to have it synced to make it tidier.
    Is this possible?
    Thank you in advance.

    Is this possible?
    No. Your exchange account syncs over the air.

    Addressbook synching would be through your iCloud account. It has nothing to do with Safari.

  • TS3276 My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped working on my iMac.  Connection doctor states that my connections are OK.  Help.

    My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped receiving new mail.  I have deleted the account and reinstalled but after receiving a few new e-mails it has stopped working again.   I cannot delete mail and my 'sent' box is empty.   I can access Yahoo mail via the web but would like to continue using Mail.  What setting should I use (my son had a look at the problem and may have altered some specs).   Connection Doctor indicates I am connected OK.  Any suggestions?

    well, everything appears to have resolved itself. Let me put this down in case it is of use to other iphone/gmail types.
    1. apparently I must have had either a lot of different computers/devices accessing gmail at the same time and it locked me out. As sailman says above, what precisely is locked out is a mystery, but in my case it was my pc/outlook, my apple mail 4.1 and my iphone. Web access worked fine
    2. when i ran the https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha command I had to do it on both my pc and my mac and eventually they came back up. The iphone was last, and took at least 24hours
    3. one thing that google doesn't communicate well is that you can sync your contacts and calendar by setting the iphone up via an exchange account, i.e. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . Then you need to set up mail separately by adding it as an "other" type of account - i.e http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702

  • Mail account has been disabled, it's my primary ac...

    Hi all,
    I carried out a vigorous search before posting!
    Issue:
    I logged into our primary BT account (which was fine, no issues there; aware of outage today etc); upon clicking on the mail icon I was met with the below message:
    Your Yahoo! Mail Account is no longer active.
    Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your account because:
    Your Yahoo! Mail account has been disabled. Please contact user support.
    Reasons why this may have happened:
    It may have been as a result of not using/sending emails from the account within a given period of time. We hardly use the primary address email; it usually only receives BT offers and BT warnings about usage! The disablement is not as a result of hacking and I’m not aware we broke any yahoo mail rules as it’s barely used!
    Worries:
    I’ve tried with no luck to raise this with yahoo and I’m beginning to feel a little disheartened at the lack of support from Yahoo and everything associated!
    The email acts as our primary account, without it I won’t receive emails re: usage warnings, offers etc and if I need to verify something I won’t be able to!
    I could create a sub account but it won’t receive the same emails as the primary account.
    More worries:
    I’m also worried the email primary email will eventually disappear because after a period of time you can’t reactivate a yahoo mail account, and then I’ll be met with an even bigger problem...
    Anyone had this issue or be able to provide support and/or advice? Just to clarify, no problem logging in, that's fine; can do everything else, we just can't access the yahoo mail account!
    Many thanks,
    Officeworker.

  • Syncing New Mail Accounts

    I deleted all the mail accounts on my iPhone and set up a number of new accounts. The old accounts are still shown in the iTunes Info/Sync Mail Accounts/Selected Mail accounts and none of the new accounts. How do I get iTunes to reflect the new accounts.

    Problem solved - I was using Hotmail via Firefox and not Mac Mail. I deleted the old accounts from Mail and set the new accounts up. These were then reflected in iTunes.

  • Sync & multiple mail accounts???

    I know that sync is capable of syncing .mac mail accounts when using the mail app, but I was wondering if it was possible to set sync up so that it can also sync my earthlink email too. If so, is there a way to have the folders that I use in the mailbox window to save old messages to sync as well?
    Thanks

    Hello Steve.
    The answer is no.
    The sync function can be used on server stored mailboxes for .Mac or IMAP type accounts only since server stored mailboxes in the Mail.app and with other email clients are synchronized with the server.
    Incoming messages sent to a POP type account are downloaded from the server only. You can select to keep messages on the server when downloaded by the Mail.app or with another email client but you cannot save Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk or user created mailboxes on the server with a POP type account.

  • My mail account has no junk mailbox?

    my mail account has no junk mailbox?

    Sorry but your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may find better results in getting a possible solution if your re-post your issue to the Apple Mail area of the Apple Support Communities.
    However, in the mean time, the Junk mailbox folder is shown when you enable filtering for junk mail in Apple Mail. To do so while in Mail, select Mail from the menu bar, and then, select Preferences. Then select Junk Mail. Finally select the "Enable junk mail filtering."

  • I have suddenly got the following message An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has se

    Having been on Thunderbird for some years I have suddenly got the following message when trying to send mail.
    An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later..
    I have checked the SMTP server settings in tools, account settings and they are as they have always been. Is there something I have missed?

    Sending through web mail is totally irrelevant to using an SMTP server. The message even says it is from the server. Why do you think this is a Thunderbird problem.
    The provider has put in place measures to keep people from spamming other email recipients using thier SMTP server. You have seen the result of those measures.

    Hi,
    When you have the browser open (Internet Explorer) then press the Alt key on the keyboard. It should show you the file options at the top..Then uncheck work offline and check..
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

    Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others.  Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else.  I opened Applications and got the icon back.  Thanks for responding.

  • Isync/.mac sync and mail accounts

    Mail checks 3 email accounts for me. And .Mac is set to sync my mail accounts and settings across two computers.
    The thing is, every time I open Mail (on either computer), .mac will eventually sync, and I get the "this is going to change >5% of your mail accounts" warning. It says it is going to delete two accounts, modify zero, and add two. I always just click ok.
    But it's getting to the point it's annoying. So today I clicked the "details" section- and it shows the accounts that are supposed to be added/deleted- and they are identical.
    Everything else syncs fine, without error.
    is there something funny about mail account syncing? Why does it do this every single bloody time .mac runs a sync?!
    Thanks!

    You should ask in the .Mac Sync forum. iSync doesn't do any kind of Mail syncing - it's for syncing to phones and PDAs.
