Trouble syncing email account

My mac mail works fine with my iphone. My other email is through my university and I cannot get it to sync...it says something about a POP or IMAP account? Does anyone know how to set it up? I do not even know what the POP or IMAP is..the mail account is through Microsoft outlook for the university and is an .edu. What should I set it up as? Thanks!

Which program do you used on Windows? Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows address book etc?

  • Sync email account

    Hello I have a new  X3 Compact phone which I got a few days ago.  I cannot sync email accounts on it (which is very easy to do on iphone and blackberry). The error message is “could not open connection to server”. I have read your troubleshooting advice.  In the Access Point Names menu nothing is set so that includes Name APN Proxy and port, Username, Server APN types etc.  I have the APN protocol as IPv4.  Do I need to provide inputs for that menu and if so where do I get the information?  Do I need to input the name of my email hoster?  Is there anything else I need to do to enable set up to work for the email account addition? 

    Your email provider would be the best place to visit for this type of question as they normally have a setup guide for all platforms

  • Can't sync email account from laptop to iphone - greyed out in itunes info

    Hi there ...
    Everythings working fine on my iphone except I haven't been able to sync my email account.
    When I go hook up the phone ... and go to info ... the sync mail account is greyed out and I can't check it.
    When I enter the email account on the iphone manually .... it won't connect to the outgoing server. I know all the info entered is correct as I double check it on my laptop. So I delete the account and try to sync ... and itunes is greyed out ...
    Am I doing something wrong ... do you have to have all the info entered on the iphone first? or should it create it automatically. I guess I made the mistake of not syncing mail when plugged in my phone the very first time ... I thought it would be no problem later ... but that is not the case ...
    Any help ...?

    Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.
    Help!

  • Sync email accounts to iphone

    I'm a beginner and need help. Just switched from BB to iphone4. Was able to access both my work and home emails on BB, but can't figure out how to do this on the iphone. When I hooked the usb cord from iphone to computer and opened itunes, I thought I synced everything, but nothing was moved to my iphone, so I obviously did something wrong! Can somebody help?

    I have approx 45 accounts. I select some account from time to time as and when needed.
    You can have all accounts loaded and turn individual accounts On or Off in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    So I'm looking for the email account sync option.
    iCloud account means it's a single account, right? That's the one you're talking about. Is there a way to tranfer more account via icloud?
    No, I am talking about any/all email accounts in your mail app on your computer.
    All email accounts on your computer are transferred via iCloud sync.
    It doesn't matter if they are google or yahoo or iCloud or your local ISP or whatever. If you have an email account in your Mail app on your computer, it is transfered to your iDevice using iCloud.

  • Cannot Set Exchange Active Sync Email Account ot Default

    OK, I am having a problem setting the Default Email Account as Exchange Active Sync. I am seeing this in iPhone and IPad both running 6.1.2. The Active Sync Mail account is installed on both devices and works fine. The problem is I am unable for some reason to change the Default Email Account from iCloud to the Exchange Active Sync Account installed. When I select the option to change Default Email Account, iCloud is there and checked however the Active Sync Account does not even show up as a selectable option here. Please help! Thanks

  • ITunes doesn't sync email accounts phone-to-Outlook

    The old computer is dead, the new computer now has Outlook 2010, the iPhone has several email accounts it knows about, it got that information from the old computer when it still worked, I can't get iTunes to copy account information from the iPhone to Outlook on the new machine. Is it possible? I account syncing only one way? (computer to iPhone)
    It has synced contacts, done a backup, copied apps, there are no error messages.
    I have the Sync Mail Accounts from Outlook setting selected on the iTunes "Info" tab. But the account information is not being copied.

    What can be selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync prefereces with iTunes for an email account or accounts is for transferring the email account settings only from your computer to your iPhone so you don't have to manually create the account with the iPhone's Mail app. This only needs to be selected once. After the email account settings have been transferred to your iPhone, this can be deselected. This does not have to remain selected since there is nothing gained and no benefit with leaving this selected.

  • Trouble setting email account (webmail) Nokia E71

    Hello,
    I just bought my NOKIA E71 and I am having trouble setting up my email account. I am using webmail. But I don't know what's the server name?
    webmail.rball.com is the address when I login...
    What should I do?
    Thanks for help!

    I did that they said the incoming and outgoing server name is:
    webmail.rball.com
    Which I thought it was but my Nokia doesnt seem to accept it.
    This is the order it comes in:
    "add email"
    "add password"
    "Username" It automatically copies my email adress
    Then it wants me to choose between POP3 or IMAP4?
    If I choose POP3:
    "Server for Incoming email"
    Then "security"
    SSL/TLS
    Start TLS
    nothing
    Server for outgoing email
    Then "security"
    SSL/TLS
    Start TLS
    nothing
    and then port 453 or something?
    It's crazy hard
    When I try to open the email it doesn't work!
    Please help!

  • Trouble syncing email changes in outlook 2010 to iPad using iCloud. It works the other way round!!!

    I have set up my mobileme email in outlook 2010 and installed and set up the iCloud Windows tool. However, I am having problems syncing changes I make on the PC. For example, if I delete an email on my iPad, it almost immediately deletes it from my Outlook...perfect. But if I delete an email from Outlook it doesn't delete from my iPad. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help?

    I misspoke when i said,
    "If a new appointment is created in Outlook 2007 it is synch to the iOS devices. The appointments can then be modified on these devices and that change is reflected properly in "Calendar in iCloud"."
    It is true the new appt is visible on the iOS devices and changes (such as adding appt details can be made from these devices) .. however those changes are only reflected on the other iOS device and not brought back into "Calendar in iCloud" w/in Outook.

  • HT201342 What is the mail server for iCloud users? I lost all my emails, trouble with email account set-up.

    I lost all me emails, what is mail set-up? Mail.me.com?

    Incoming is imap.mail.me.com.  Outgoing is smtp.mail.me.com (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864).  But if you're setting up iCloud mail on OS X Lion or higher, you go to Settings>iCloud and check Mail.  This will add the account with the proper settings.

  • How do I sync email accounts from my mac to my iPhone?

    I used to be able to sync my email accounds to my phone using iTunes.  I dont see that option anymore?

    With the iPod connected to your computer, go to the Summary pane under devices (your iPod) and check the appropriate boxes.  From the Users Guide:'
    Calendars
    Â
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft
    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple
    applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

  • TS4083 How can I sync all email accounts to my iphone?

    There used to be an info section in iTunes that allowed you to sync email accounts from your iMac to your phone but this option seems to have been removed now from iTunes. Has it moved to iCloud somehwere? If so, how can I sync the accounts from my iMac? Thanks is advance for your help!

    Thanks! I knew how to do that already :/ Just upgraded to a 5s and didn't want to manually enter my accounts and server settings again (there are 10 email accounts) as I actually don't remember most of the passwords. I backed up settings from my old iPhone 4 before swapping the sims over and have managed to restore the 5s from that backup which copied over all of my email accounts, great success! However, just had to access cpanel for all accounts to reset the passwords as they are not copied over.
    Thank you for your prompt reply!

  • Can't sync back email accounts

    Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
    During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
    It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    Hey Kevin,
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
    Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
    You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

  • Syncing email addresses from windows

    Having trouble syncing email addresses from Itunes
    to Iphone.
    Thank's for any help in advance.
    Craig.

    You need to get your MSN/Windows Live online contacts synced with the Windows Contacts address book on your PC - which is the address book used by Windows Mail - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    You need to contact Microsoft or MSN/Windows Live Technical support for help with this.
    After you get this working properly, you can select Windows Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
