Syncing mail account settings on iPhone 4?

I'm getting my iPhone 4 replaced today and was going thru a sync. Everything is working fine as I use iCloud however...when I went to plug in my iPhone and over to "Info" and down to "Sync Mail Accounts" it won't let me check mark the box for syncing mail account settings.
I want to sync the mail accounts (not messages or anything) just the mail account settings so that I won't have to manually put them in on the new phone.
Ideas?

User error:  I had enabled the selection to dis-allow changes under the password lock  and restrictions options then disabled the passcode lock with still stopped me from making any changes to my email account settings.

    I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

  • ERROR: itunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone etc.

    Brand new iphone owner. Day two. The initial sync was fie, on the next sync I got the the following error message."iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone (my name) iPhone because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. Close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone then sync again."
    I can't find this one in other discussions. HELP!

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.

  • Sync Mail Account Settings

    Hi All,
    I have two machines:
    MacPro OS 10.7.2
    MacBookPro OS 10.7.2
    I am using iCloud to sync info between them. 
    Me.com used to allow you to syncronize mail account settings, and iCloud does not, so I have two questions:
    1. Is there anyway to sync mail account settings between two computers?
    2. If not, can you export a file that contains the settings from one computer to import it into another?
    Thanks for you time!
    Rob

    Hi Illaas,
    Thanks for your response.
    You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
    Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
    Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
    I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
    Thanks for your input.

  • "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

    When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

  • Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

    Hello
    I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
    Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
    Strange !!
    Any Idea ?
    Best
    Cyril

    i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

  • Error message when syncing mail accounts...

    I recently started getting this error message while syncing on Windows XP running Outlook 2007.....
    iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "Nick DeGiovine's iPhone" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated...!

    Mackinator,
    All of the email addresses are with servers that have presets on the iPhone, and it appears the interaction between what you are syncing, and those presets is where you are having the error.
    You may want to consider using some of those presets. For example bellsouth.net's email is now hosted by Yahoo. You can enter the settings for it in a few steps. When adding the account to the iPhone, choose the "Yahoo" presets. Put in the username as your entire @bellsouth.net email address. There will be @yahoo.com visible, but won't affect the functionality of the account, and people you send to won't see the @yahoo.com after your address. The Bellsouth account will now work, and should also get push notifications for your Bellsouth email via Yahoo.
    For your GMail account, choosing GMail will configure the outgoing server to work on most networks. The exception is networks that block the majority of ports, such as some work environments.
    This article contains more information on mail settings including the information about @bellsouth.net and Yahoo.

    Try syncing your iPhone again.If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPhone from the info tab in the iPhone preferences.

  • How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

    Hi,
    May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
    How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
    Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
    For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
    Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
    I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
    I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
    Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
    I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
    Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
    MANY THANKS!
    Pierre

  • I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone and many of my settings have defaulted. Was this set by my business or by exchange?

    I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone to acces smy business emails and many of my settings have defaulted. As an example, my passcode has defaulted to a minimum of 6 digits and my phone will erase all data after 10 failed attempts.  These are now greyed out and I cannot change them.
    Is this a default set by Apple/Microsoft?
    Or was this a setting enforced by my company, whose mail exchange I am accessing?

    ditto what KT said...the passcode requirement enables the encryption of the local storage of your device and auditing of that policy ..it protects your organization AND you from potential data loss and a  mandatory reporting obligation..imagine how miserable it would be to see the name of your organization on the front page of your local newspaper with a story about data loss....every IT and risk management department's worst nightmare
