Trying to set up new email account - phone keeps freezing

I am trying to add a new gmail account to my curve. Whenever I try to - I click on set up, email accounts, and my phone keeps freezing. I went to the verizon store, after 2 hours, they still could not figure it out so they gave me a new phone. I went to another store a couple weeks later with the same problem, they told me they know there is a problem, and "hopefully the programmers are fixing it". Does anyone know of what I can do to add an email account to my phone?
Thanks

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

Can't add any new email account - Bug with Ios 6.1.3?

For unknown reason, I can't add any new email account, I get stuck with when I have entrered my email address and password. In fact, the system says " checking" but nothing is happening. Do you have any idea?
Somebody proposed me to reset Safari which I did with same result.
I have two Iphone and 1 Ipad and I have exactly the same problem on all of them.

I finally found the reason, it was linked with my email suffix which was a shorten version. When I put the long one, my email address has been recognized. The strange things is the fact, I have set up earlier the same account in pop instead of imap without any issue. I need to fight with the server name too as my standard incoming server was not recogized on imap (no reason as it works with other system). However, I found my way and it works.
Thank you for your help. Maybe my demand will help somebody else.

How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

THANKS! this worked !!!
I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in

Assuming that in this day and age you want security.
Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in & outgoing servers before SSL is set. Before you can set SSL, mail connects to the servers so email password is transmitted unencrypted?
This seems a very obvious quirk/bug and something that I have always felt uncomfortable about.
Anyone else think this is not a good thing?

Actually it look like all apple devices have the same mail setup procedure, so are your email passwords all being sent over the network in plain text before you get the chance to set the SSL option?
Any security experts care to comment.

HT4436 How can I transfer my odl family pack email to new iCloud id? Or add a new email account (not an alias) to my main icloud id?

I had a family pack but now I am not able to reach my son's email account. How can I find and transfer it? Or how can I open a new email account for my son through my icloud id. Actually it seems as if there is an oprating email account under his name but e-we cannot receive any emails or cannot reach the account settings...

Each sub-account of a MobileMe Family Pack should have been individually migrated to iCloud before August 1st last. Assuming that you didn't do this, you should be able to reactivate the address (though not retrieve its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail - your son should do this on his own Mac or his own user account if he is using your Mac. It's not clear whether he will be able to reactivate the @me.com version or only get an @icloud.com version. (It would be useful to know, when he tries it.)
If he did migrate the account to iCloud then signing in in the same way should retrieve the contents and the @me.com address should work.
Alternatively he can just create a new Apple ID (for which he will need a new non-Apple email address) if he doesn't already have one, and sign in with that, enabling Mail and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
You should note that in none of these cases does his account have anything to do with yours (there is no need for a Family Pack equivalent in iCloud as it's free at basic level).
You could add an email alias to your account, but it's not a good idea as it will mix his emails up with yours and he won't be able to detach it later.

Mail won't let me add a new email account

I have 4 email accounts in Mail and for some reason it will not let me add another new account. I have tried file>add new account and also the + sign within preferences>accounts. Any ideas what may be the problem?

I'm having exactly the same problem, but this wasn't the case the last time I added an account a few months ago - might this be as a result of a recent update?
Any help on this would be gratefully received, thank you!

Cannot add a new email account

I have 3 email accounts set up in my iPhone: one Exchange and two Google accounts. Today I tried to add a Road Runner account and got to the screen to enter my user info and password. I enter that info and click save. Then the phone exits the screen and goes to the home page. I tried it 3 times and got the same error. I was never given the option to enter the server addresses. What could be causing this error?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.

I have tried to add a NEW GMAIL Account into Thunderbird and after i use the automatic configuration finder and Password confirmation, it does not display

I tried to set up a NEW Gmail account in Thunderbird But it will not display eventhough it confirms that the configuration is correct and that the password is Valid. Please NOTE that i previously was able to set up the email account correctly in Thunderbird but was encountering some errors and i therefore deleted it using the Account Actions menu.
I have repeated this action probably probably 5 or 6 times and I still cannot see the new email account in Thunderbird. I can only see my other Gmail Account
Would appreciate someone sharing with me a step by step answer to help me fix this problem as I have no clue

Sounds like the Google Less Secure Application situation. Go to gmail and read what they have to say about this.
FYI: Deleting and reinstalling accounts or Thunderbird software is not the best way to solve problems. It usually never solves a thing and can cause more issues as you are seeing. It is best to troubleshoot what you have and fix those issues.

Add a new email address onto Mail?

I have a gmail address that I use for most of my email needs, but I just got a new college address so it would be nice if I could consolidate the two inboxes using Mail. Is there a way to do that?

Just create a new email account for you new address - Mail preferences - click on Accounts - click on the "+" button to add a new account.

How do I add a new email account?

I installed Thunderbird today and have no email accounts set up yet. That is because by following the instructions in the help files, I was lead straight into a brick wall.
I can't find a way to insert a screenshot of the help page. It says to:
First open the Account Settings (In BOLD Tools|Account Settings). Each email or Newsgroup account
that has already been configured is listed on the left side of the Account Settings dialogue. These
accounts correspond to the top-level folders displayed in the "All Folders" list.
As said, I have no accounts set up yet and my "All-Folders" list is blank.
This is followed by a sample dialogue box showing the captions properly filled in:
Your Name: jen Account
Email Address: [email protected]
Password: ********
Checked Box Remember Password
Cancel Continue
Click the (BOLD) Account Settings (End Bold) button and select (BOLD) Add Mail Account.
What I actually see is a bit different. Tools|Account Settings opens another dialogue box with one button at the bottom that says Account Actions. Clicking on that button shows a drop down menu of
Add Mail Account...
Add Chat Account...
Add Feed Account...
Add Other Account...
Set as Default
Remove Account
Unfortunately, only the Add Chat, Feed, and Other, choices bring up another option while clicking on the Add Mail Account does absolutely nothing and that is the brick wall I mentioned. I even had a friend who has been using Thunderbird for several years could not find a way to add an Email Account. Your help will be appreciated.

I almost responded by telling you I had already done all that but decided you are trying to help and the least I can do is give it a shot. I am fairly capable around computers but I have a friend who not only works in the computer industry but has been using Thunderbird for several years.
When my problem began, I called him and we connected using TeamViewer. I recently bought a Toshiba Qosmio laptop which would not allow me to get Windows 7, I had to take Windows 8.1 (Total garbage IMHO) My friend will not install W8 and is not familiar with it.
Anyway, he tried several things to no avail and then uninstalled TBird and the Maintenance Program and reinstalled both. The problem remained.
Today, I uninstalled both again and clicked on your link. I saw immediately that it was the same place I originally installed from. I reinstalled TBird with the Maintenance Program and clicked on File|New|Existing Mail Account... and saw the same as the screenshot I posted yesterday.
After clicking on Existing Mail Account... I saw the screenshot below with no place to enter anything about my Existing Mail Accounts. Being new to TBird is one thing, but I am amazed at the similarity of what both you and my friend had to say after experiencing that 'brick wall' I mentioned in my initial post here.
If you have any other advice or instructions, bring it on, I will try anything and I appreciate your attempt to help me here.

How to add an additional email account in Mail?

Hi,
I set up my main 'Hotmail' email address in 'Mail' about a year ago but have never used the Mail App since. I now have a 2nd email address (university) and it is hosted through 'Exchange Labs' which is basically Hotmail/MSN I think. I cannot check my emails in each one without logging out and logging in whilst openinging and closing several web pages which is a nuisance.
I was told I could link these 2 accounts in Mail and would make life easier. However, I went to add an additional account and it's asking me for the server info - (mail.server.com) which I have no idea what Exchange Labs use. I looked at my settings for my Hotmail address and when I was setting it up I used my 'izymail' subscription to make it work. However when I go into Mail, it shows no new emails, or any of my old ones. I think i'll have to play around with it for a few hours before I figure out what's wrong but can anyone offer any advice?
How to link an 'Exchange Lab' email account or make sure my existing hotmail account is still linked properly?
Thanks in advance!

Unless Hotmail is required under EU law to provide their full service free of charge, you'd have to have a paid Hotmail account to be able to send and receive email with Mail.
As for the Exchange Labs, that's something your university is doing, so you'd need to call their student computing helpdesk for the settings to enter in Mail to setup your account for that. You can't link these two accounts, but you can have Mail send and receive messages through both accounts individually, assuming you meet the requirements and have them setup properly. It's not hard, you just need to get the necessary info from your university IT department, as well as have POP access to your Hotmail account, which they do charge for in the U.S.
