Trouble adding a second email account to my iPhone 4

I am trying to add a second email account to my iPhone 4. I have gone into settings, mail/contacts/calendars, add account, etc. I have chosen "other" and then chosen "add mail account". I have entered my name, the second email address and a password. Is this password a new pass word for my new email account or is it the password needed to access the email server? Then I choose the POP over the the IMAP, because this new email is a POP account, I think. Now, am I required to add information for both the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server? This is where I am lost.
I am trying to set this up with out going into the Apple store. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks. I have not gone to his web site. But, I do have the information the provided. He provided a POP Server address and a SMTP Server address. He also provided the public email address, username and password.
I think my issue is me not understanding IMAP vs POP and where to use the POP server vs the SMTP server information. Looks like I need to plan a trip to the Apple store.

I've just added a new email account to my iPhone 5

I've just added a new email account to my iPhone 5 & want to add a signature to my outgoing emails.
I set this up myself bofore upgrading to ios7 but for the life of me I cant find find the option in any of the settings.
Anyone...?

It is a hotmail account (I know that hotmail has problems, so I had set it up via an 'other' account in the settings), it is not a POP.
On my old Iphone 4, the minute I recieved an email my phone would vibrate and the email would show up in my inbox, yet my Iphone 5 isn't even recognising an email, let alone sending me a push notification.
Thank you.

Trouble adding Yahoo! email account. Error: Login to the account failed, please try again.

I have read several discussions about this topic. I have tried manual set up, deleting the account multiple times and nothing works. Please help!

Now I can't speak to Catnzdogs's results of it not working after a FR ... That indeed is strange.
But I would try doing the following, as it really sounds like you have an Invalid userid & password "cached" that is giving you that error .. So try this:
- Go into Settings / Applications / Manage Applications, Click on the ALL Tab
- Scroll down to EMAIL (you may have as many as 4 of them > EMAIL, EMAIL ACCOUNTS, EMAIL AUTHENTICATOR, EMAIL ENGINE)
- Select each 1 of them & click on Clear Data & Clear Cache for each
- exit out of the settings
- Launch your email App - it SHOULD prompt you for your login info & password - make sure you enter it correctly the 1st time, else it will save the bad information in cache again.
Let us know what happens & what specific error msg you get, if any. good luck

Trouble adding a second pop3 email account to iMac

getting my new iMac. Added gmail email account fine but I can't not add a second pop3 comcast account. Keeps asking for pwd and will not store in the account profile.

Hi Rhoaddog,
If you are having difficulty adding a 2nd email account through the Mail app, try it through the System Preferences, Internet Accounts. Of course, please verify your password is correct.
This article shows as OS X Mavericks but it is the same for Yosemite.

I can't get my ICloud started. Each time i try to sign in..it indicates that theres a problem with my email apple address but never indicates what. I added a second email but the same result. Have changed my password numerous times...no result?????

I have followed the instruction relating to Icloud connection.When i went to system preferences, my Apple address is continually rejected. I have added a second email as suggusted by an Apple site but i still get the same message. Im not told why the Apple ID/email is not accepted when it is accepted in all other Apple sites. I changed my password numerous times to ensure it wasnt the password but to no result. It continued to state that my Apple ID was the problem. I live in Malta,Europe. Have new Apple Mac Pro and Ipod. The annoying thing is that ICloud continually send me the problem notice but do nothing to tell me how to fix it? Can i switch this notice off? Help???????

Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
Thank you
Kate

Hello there, Kate.
Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I created a second email account with a password but when I try to get mail for it and I put in password it says login failed. Why? and how do I fix it.

I created second email account ([email protected]) with a Password but when I try to get mail and enter password, it says "Sending of Password did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: login failed". What am I doing wrong?

Have you logged on to the webmail account using a browser and enabled either Pop or Imap forwarding for that email address?
Have you created a mail account in Thunderbird that uses the chosen webmail forwarding option?
Password - make sure caps lock is not switched - it must be the same password you use to access the webmail account.
check:
Tools > account Settings > Server Settings
username = full email address

How do I not sync notes with my email? I have a business email on my iphone as well as my husbands iphone. Now all of my notes are on his phone, and all of his notes he previously has on his iphone are gone. We have never adjusted any settings or hooked it up to itunes, I only added the shared email account to his phone. Help???

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Can't set up second email account

Hi: I have two email accounts - university and personal. The personal is a POP account and I use yet another email account for SMTP it it doesn't block Port 25 - suppose I could use gmail for outgoing. Everyting works as it should for it is plain vanilla and I don't have need for Push.
Then try to set up the second email account which is IMAP. The first few times it likes my IMAP account part but didn't like my SMTP for I forget to insert the correct SMTP password. Hadn't remembered that PB thinks it will be the same password for both. Finally got it all sorted and hit save. The little green circle goes around for ever and no account gets set up. Switched off, restared the PB and tried again without mistakes this time!
Little green circle forever. Sigh.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

I can't seem to set up a second email account with Mail. Help...and thanks!

I'm having an impossible time setting up a second email account on Mail. Seemed as though it would be simple but after I've done all the basics, it sets up the account on MobileMe instead of iCloud and there it stops. Can't send or receive messages. I'm lost! Advice?

I do have an iCloud account and have since October. I am trying to set up a second email address. Perhaps I'm asking Mail to do more than it's equipped to do.
I have set up an alias with the new email address through my existing iCloud account. However, when I test sending and receiving, the emails to and from the new address are in the same list as my regular Mail. Not sure this helps with my desire to separate the two! Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong.
I do appreciate your help.
