Trying to set up my email

ok i have different email addresses like msn, yahoo, and aim.
but i can't seem to set it up with my mac mail because im unsure about which server it runs on (POP or .......)
if someone knows how to set these up please let me know....

Most web-based email services do not provide POP access to email - you must use your web browser. Some that do only allow that wih premium service. Do a search for "POP email" on their help sections. One exception that I know of is gmail, which allows free POP access.

In trying to set up mobile email, I input wrong server and now it keeps trying to verify. How do I get out?

1. Close all open apps - double-click the Home button and swipe up on all of the thumbnails for all open apps
2. Reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issues are resolved

TS2621 I keep getting the error message "yahoo! server unavaible" when trying to set up my email

I just got my Iphone 5 and I'm trying to set up my email. I keep getting the error message "Yahoo! server unavailable". Help! Thank you.

There are different ways, but delete that email account and this time when you go to set up your email, dont start in the yahoo setup tab, do it in the " Other " tab and set it up that way.

TS2976 i am trying to set up two email accounts for outlook, one for me and one for my husband. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am trying to set up icloud emails on outlook 2010. It only lets me add 1 email rather than two. One is for me and one for my husband.

Maybe you should ask on a Microsoft forum rather than one dedicated to the using the iPhone in an enterprise environment.

TS3899 trying to set up my email with my phone and it won't accept my email password

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my email info on my phone and it won't accept my password form my hotmail account?? help

Hi Guys
Thanks for all the input.   I guess I need to clarify my situation a little better.
I've always had a Blackberry and made the sitch last week.
My work email is merely a forward that our ISP handles.
So if you send me an email to [email protected] my ISP forwards it to my Gmail account.   Within Gmail I was able to set it up that any email I send or reply to comes from my [email protected]
Now that I have an iphone the game has changed.    Using Microsoft Exchange I set up my email and no problem sending or recieving but when I send an email or reply to an email its coming from [email protected] and I want it to be coming from my work address.
Thanks again
Luke

Help. am lost trying to set up an email account.

after almost 20 years of using the mac for artwork and a pc for office stuff, I've made the total switch to mac only.
problem is setting up an email account.
I had microsoft entourage working pretty good but just discovered that there is no hyperlink feature in entourage, making the program worthless and unusable for our office environment where I send hyperlinks to ever changing large documents withen the organization by email.
I am hoping the apple mail program will be my solution.
I am trying to copy the settings from entourage into the mail program with some difficulty.
Our It guys will have nothing to do with the mac so I'm pretty much on my own for figuring out how this stuff works.
I want to transfer the connecting settings from entourage (or worse case scenerios-the old PC) into the Mail program but they have different names.
Please help me decipher the differences. Entourage has alot of different names for things, public folders servers, exchange servers, LDAp servers, ect. whereas the Mail only has an incoming, an outgoing, and a Outlook web access server fields. I cannot figure out which is which.
hopefully, once it is configured, i will have the hyperlink ability. otherwise, I'll have to use Fusion for Microsoft Office. running the fusion with XP program makes the keyboard work like crap and the mouse un-usably jumpy, not good for trying to draw pictures.
Thanks.

unfortunately, the only solution was to keep running windows for outlook email because of hyperlinks. really thought I could dump that old hassle.

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

Trying to set up additional email on an itunes account my sister and I share, so I can use Imessage etc, but I'm having difficulties

We noticed I've been getting her messages, all of a sudden too. Her phone number and email is hooked up to the account since its her credit card, she has an IPhone of course. But I know that people can use Imessage on their IPod touches I'm just having a hard time setting it up and she doesnt know how to do it either. I got an additional email hooked up to the account I believe because when I turned on IMessage it asked where I'd like the messages to come from and I picked my email and got rid of hers but it asks me for a password, we figured it was the account password but its not.
Can someone help? Thanks (:

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

When trying to set up existing email account on new ipad, the account or password not recognised.

purchase new ipad today and while trying to link my email account, it comes up with the message that the username and/or password is not recognised. Any help gratefully received. thanks

Then maybe you should ask your e-mail provider what's wrong.

HT201320 I have tried for over 2 hours in trying to set up an email accout and followed the directions. I keep getting same error message over and over again. Invalid use rid or password

I have tried for over 2 hours to get email on my phone. Shut off and on and tried to pick new password. Keep getting error message. Very frustrated

Since the title of your post says " ... invalid use rid or password ...", I suspect the issue is some illegal mix of blanks and/or special characters (e.g., punctuation) in either your user ID, password, or both.
Be very careful you are following the rules for what constitutes a legal user name and a legal password.
