System Preferences/Internet/email

I am using OSX 10.2.8 and MAIL 1.2.5
I have just had to reset my e-mail account.
Why doesn't the MAIL application refer to the settings entered in the Internet pane of System Preferences.
MAIL HELP says that it should but I had to enter account details in MAIL regardless.
Thanks

Is this email account a .Mac account?

I have iCloud on my MacBook Air. Trying to set up icloud on another device- MacBook Pro. I have OSx version 10.5.8 on the Pro. The iCloud does not appear on my system preference/ Internet

How do I get the iCloud icon to appear in my System Preference/Internet & Wireless section to turn it on. Again I only have Mobile Me icon. When I check for updating of software it says there are no updates. I currently have OS X Version 10.5.8 on the MacBook Pro that needs to have iCloud.

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. If you’re running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

Mail app and System Preferences--Internet Accounts keeps crashing

I can't figure out how to stop mail from crashing and I am running OS X Yosemite. Some people say that you can remove the internet account, but when I go to system preferences, It always crashes the internet accounts section. I also can' find the com.apple.mail plist in library. Does anyone know how to fix this?
-Guy

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

System preferences: Internet accounts: Facebook username or password incorrect

First I was unable to connect iPhoto to Facebook. Then I deleted my Facebook connection from Internet Accounts under System Preferences. When I tried to add it back I get:

I am using the correct email address and password.
Any suggestions?

Dansuz1, Welcome to the discussion area!
The Internet Connect is indicating that encryption is enabled on the network and the password you are using is incorrect.
I know the base stations user name and password and can contact through the admin utility.
That is a different password than the one used for encryption.

MacBookAir: system preferences internet & wireless does not show mail, contacts & calendars

I'm trying to figure out how to NOT store my mail on the iCloud server. I was directed to first go to ""system preferences," then "internet and wireless," and then "mail, contacts, calendars," except I don't have a folder for "mail, contacts, and calendars." Why wouldn't it show up?
I'm on Macbook Air, OS 10.6.8

Thanks, it was linked in iPhoto. After removing it from iPhoto I still got the same message when trying to delete the account from Mail. After rebooting, I was able to remove the account from Mail.

How do I change my Apple ID on my iMac. It is showing an old ID in System Preferences/Internet Accounts and System Preferences/iCloud

My iPhone, iPad and iMac Safari access to the Apple Store and iCloud are fine and accept my new Apple ID. Mail constantly prompts me for a password with a box that shows my old Apple ID. I'm guessing that somewhere on the iMac I can change or delete the old Apple ID? It's not in the Keychain.
iMac OS X 10.10
Mail 8

Thanks Eric. If I try, I get a box with the statement:
Your iCloud account couldn't be removed at this time.
Mail was unable to delete [email protected] (It just shows this as normal black type without the email envelope) Relaunch Mail then sign our of iCloud again.
It shows an OK box.
The Apple ID shown is of course, the old one, that I am trying to change on the iMac. On my iPhone, iPad, the Apple Store and iCloud via safari, only my new Apple ID is shown.
I tried to insert an image of this scenario but I couldn't insert the chosen 138KB tiff image.

Popup message: "Google password required, enter your password for .." Internet account window in system preferences won't open. How do I fix?

Google accounts are suddenly offline. Popup: "Google Password Required, Enter your password for ... in Internet Accounts." continues to System Preferences/Internet Accounts. Account window won't open. I just get the grey circling system-working-on-it icon. Suggestions.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to open the preference pane. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Why on "System Preferences", I do not have the option to select "iCloud"?

On System Preferences/Internet & Wireless, I do not have the option to select "iCloud". How can configure my email?

Then stay with SL, iCloud mail is just an iMap acount so you can make the mail work in SL, other services will require that you pay rather more than $19 so your choice.

System preferences problelm

I have a new MacBook Pro, after using an old one(2006) fairly successfully.
I am in the process of having to rebuild my mail.
Now when I went to system preferences, internet accounts, the system preferences kicked me out of the internet accounts panel saying that there was a problem with my internet accounts preference pane but no information on what to do?

Can you create a new Spare User?
This will help you rule out user account corruption (and hardware/driver compatibility).
Also, try the normal maintenance.

Also, try removing the MM hardware, and looking for driver updates (10.4 compatibility notes) on their site...

In system preferences my iCloud still shows my old internet mail address. How can I change it to my new internet address as I am now with a different server?

I have recently changed internet companies but in system preferences iCloud still shows my old email address. How can I change this or is it necessary?

If no one on this forum is able to help please post on the iCloud on my Mac forum.

Problem with internet. When i open System preferences, Network, message drops down: 'your network settings have been changed by another application'. I click OK, but it drops a message again and again, preventing me to do anything about the setting.

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

System Preferences Sharing Internet Airport

System 10.4.11
In System Preferences>Sharing>Internet my wife's iBook lists three check box options: Built-in Ethernet, Built-in Firewire and Airport. My Powerbook with the same system does not list the Airport option. How can I add it? Thanks.

I've now found that on my Powerbook the Airport choice shows up if after the "Share your connection from" I chose something other than Airport. Not so with my wife's iBook Airport is always a choice. Now I am confused.
